XXIII. The Golden Tree and Buying Horses

"If you have a fishing net, you can catch thousands of catties of fish in one net. Tang Ming watched the fish in the lake gather more and more, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

He watched the fish here for a while, and did not go to the villa until it was getting darker and clearer to see clearly.

Back in the bedroom, closing the door, his figure flashed, and he entered the Xia He Cave Heaven.

He first walked to the side of the alien plant and took a look, now this plant has grown to nearly three meters tall, this plant has golden bark, golden leaves, and is more and more similar to the trees of a kind of 'Xiahe civilization' in Tang Ming's memory.

He named the tree the Golden Tree, because not only the bark and leaves were golden, but also the heart of the tree.

The Golden Tree is a very common plant in the 'Xiahe Civilization', but it is a very magical food for the earthlings.

The Golden Tree emits a special smell that any insect smells will automatically stay away from the Golden Tree, so there are never bugs on the Golden Tree, and there are no insects in the place where it grows.

The bark of the golden tree is the main source of this special smell, in the 'Xia He civilization', the bark of the golden tree is used as incense, often smell the incense made of the bark of the golden tree, can relieve mental stress, treat insomnia, dreams, mental weakness and other symptoms, of course, the bark of the golden tree not only has these effects, but also has some other uses, such as making perfume, Buddha incense and so on.

The heart of the golden tree is very hard, immortal for thousands of years, unsinkable in water, the golden heart of the tree has a beautiful liberal arts, which is comparable to the precious trees of Hainan Huanghuali and Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, in addition, the heart of the golden tree also has a faint fragrance, which is very suitable for making furniture and various cultural toys.

These are all summarized by Tang Ming from memory, so to speak, the golden tree is full of treasures, and the growth rate is fast, it only takes ten years to become a tree, compared to Hainan yellow pear, small leaf red sandalwood, yew trees that often take hundreds of years to become a tree, the golden tree is a good substitute.

Of course, now there is only this golden tree in the world, and if you want to promote the golden tree, you need to wait a few years, and when the golden tree multiplies into hundreds or thousands, it can generate value.

Tang Ming touched the trunk of the golden tree, turned around and walked to the edge of the pool, poured the last bucket of diesel fuel into the generator, started the generator, connected the pump, and pumped water into another tank.

Originally, he thought it would be a bit of a waste to buy two water tanks, but now it seems that the two water tanks can be used in turn, one outside and one in the Xiahedong sky.

"There is no diesel, it seems that we have to buy more diesel, the province often buys it, tomorrow I have to buy horses, I don't have time Brisbane, let's go the day after tomorrow." Tang Ming thought.

Three hours later, the pool was emptied, and all the water in the pool entered the tank, Tang Ming turned off the generator, returned to the bedroom, took a shower, and went to bed.

The next day, in the morning, when Tang Ming was running, he came to the back of the villa to take a look, the pool water in the tank had dried up, and the fish by the lake had swam away.

When he ran back to the villa, Klein and Alan were sitting in the living room, Song Qian was cooking in the kitchen, Tang Ming said hello to them, went back to the room to change clothes, and went downstairs to eat.

After breakfast, Mike came over and the two of them left the ranch in a pickup truck.

Today Mike drove the car, Tang Ming sat in the co-pilot's seat, and when the pickup truck drove out of the ranch, Mike said: "Boss, I contacted a friend yesterday and went to his ranch to have a look today." ”

Tang Ming asked curiously, "What kind of horses do you have in his pasture?"

"His ranch is mainly for quartes and American horses, both of which are better suited for grazing," says Mike. ”

Due to its geographical location, Australia does not have its own horse breeds, and they are all bred from horse breeds imported from all over the world.

Tang Ming said disappointedly: "Aren't there thoroughbreds and Arabian horses?"

"Of course not, thoroughbreds and Arabian horses are very valuable, and they cannot be raised on his small ranch. Mike laughed, "If you like these two kinds of horses, boss, I can take you to a larger ranch to have a look." ”

Tang Ming shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm just curious, I heard that a thoroughbred horse and an Arabian horse can sell for millions of dollars." ”

Mike laughs: "That's just a rumor, most thoroughbreds and Arabian horses aren't worth that much money, they need to run well in races, or their parents have a good pedigree to sell for that price." ”

"I see. Tang Ming nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked again: "By the way, is there a bloody BMW here?"

"What a horse. Mike said he had never heard of such horses.

Tang Ming thought for a while and said: "By the way, sweat and blood BMW is our name, and their scientific name seems to be called Akhal-Teke Ma, yes, it is Akhal Tejin Ma." ”

"Akhal-Teke horses, I know, this is also a very precious horse, second only to thoroughbreds and Arabian horses, but the number of such horses is relatively small, and there do not seem to be such horses in Australia. Mike understood this time and explained to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming said: "Forget it, I'm just a little curious, I heard of this kind of horse when I was young?"

Compared with thoroughbreds and Arabian horses, he prefers sweaty BMWs, which is a kind of complex, mainly influenced by his childhood, when he often saw knights or generals riding a sweaty BMW on TV, galloping the rivers and lakes or battlefields, that majestic appearance, has been unforgettable until now.

Leaving the ranch and heading east, all the way was grass, there were not a few stretches of road, and after walking for more than an hour, Mike parked his car in front of a ranch.

Mike said, "Here we are, boss, this is it." ”

The two of them got out of the car and walked into the ranch.

Soon, a Caucasian man about the same age as Mike greeted him, gave Mike a hug, and said enthusiastically, "Long time no see, Mike, welcome over." ”

Mike also smiled and said, "Charlie, are you okay?"

Charlie said, "I'm fine, I'm doing well, what about you." ”

Mike said, "I'm fine too. ”

They exchanged a few pleasantries, and Mike introduced Tang Ming to Charlie.

After Tang Ming and Charlie shook hands, Charlie said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the horses." ”

Charlie introduced to Tang Ming as he walked, his ranch was not large, only a few dozen acres, with more than a hundred horses, and it was a ranch dedicated to selling horses.

When he came to the stable, Charlie said, "Pick and choose, and if you want the one, tell me." ”

Tang Ming didn't understand these things at all, so he could only follow behind Mike, watching him pick a horse, and he turned his head from time to time to explain to Tang Ming.

"First of all, pick a horse to look at its overall picture, including coat color, nutrition, body size, body structure, whether the whole body is well-proportioned, etc. ”

"Then, look at the horse's limbs and hooves, whether the horse's legs are in the right shape and the size of the horse's hooves, the quality of the hooves, whether the horse's legs are straight, and so on. ”

Then, the horse's chest should be wide and muscular, and then the horse's buttocks and waist should be strong, whether the horse's nose is sick, whether the horse's eyesight is good, whether the horse's teeth are good, and so on. ”
