Chapter 517: Horse Idiot Ferdinand
"A rich man is a rich man, this pomp is different. Douglas's style made Xiao Ping sigh secretly, but he quickly greeted him and said, "Welcome to Lillian's Ranch, Mr. Douglas." ”
Douglas nodded to Xiao Ping with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Thank you." I couldn't wait to see them, so I came in a helicopter, probably scaring a lot of cattle and sheep, don't mind. ”
Of course Xiao Ping won't mind, Douglas is a rich man who came to buy horses, as long as he can offer a price that satisfies Xiao Ping, it doesn't matter if the way he appears is a little noisy.
So Xiao Ping wisely skipped the topic and said to Douglas with a smile: "The two ponies are in the stable, just waiting for you to come and see." ”
"Good, good. Douglas was very interested, and couldn't wait to say, "By the way, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xiao Ping, the owner of Lilian Ranch." This is Mr. Ferdinand, a well-known expert in horse breeding and breeding. ”
After listening to Douglas's words, Xiao Ping noticed that there was a middle-aged man who got off the plane with him. Ferdinand had a grim face and didn't seem to be very careful. He nodded to Xiao Ping and said hello, and then said expressionlessly: "Mr. Xiao, please take us to see the horses." ”
Douglas also immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, go to see the horses first, I can't wait!"
Of course, Xiao Ping would not have an opinion on the suggestions of the two, and soon took them to the stable of the ranch.
Ferdinand took a general look at the stable, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. As an expert in horse breeding, Ferdinand was almost strict about raising horses. And the stables on the ranch are nothing more than cowboys who build them based on their own experience. It's normal for him to not look at it.
Seeing this almost rudimentary stable, Ferdinand felt a little less confident that he would see a good horse in a moment. But he's a little arrogant. But it is not without uncultivated people who do not show their disappointment. Just waiting for the cowboy to bring the pony out without saying a word.
The three of them didn't wait long, and soon two cowboys each came out of the stable, each with a pony. When he saw the two ponies, Ferdinand, who was still a little absent-minded, immediately straightened his eyes, and he looked at the ponies intently, with a happy expression on his face.
"That's it. Xiao Ping smiled and said to Douglas, "Are you still satisfied?"
Douglas loves horses and is willing to spend money on it, so he naturally has some insight. He looked sideways at the two foals, and after a moment nodded with satisfaction, "Judging by their size and coat color, they are indeed good horses, and their skeletons are very standard." Looks like you've put a lot of thought into breeding these two ponies. ”
Xiao Ping, of course, would not tell Douglas that he had just prepared a group of mares for the Black Devil, and then relied on it to play freely.
At this time, Xiao Ping pretended to have a relieved expression, and sighed long: "Yes, after all, the Black Devil is the champion of the World Realm, and it is worth it for its descendants to spend some more energy." ”
Douglas nodded approvingly, and then asked Ferdinand, who was beside him, "Mr. Ferdinand, what do you think of these two ponies?"
"How is that? Of course very good!" Ferdinand answered Douglas's question impatiently, and then asked Xiao Ping seriously, "Mr. Xiao." Can I get some close-up observations?"
Knowing that Ferdinand was invited by Douglas to see the horses, whether these two ponies can be sold for a good price depends largely on the expert's evaluation, and Xiao Ping will certainly not refuse his request.
After getting Xiao Ping's permission. Ferdinand couldn't wait to run towards the two foals. In his excitement, he moved a little too much, and the two ponies struggled backwards.
Ferdinand immediately realized his recklessness, and quickly slowed down and slowly leaned in. Whispered softly to soothe the two ponies. He is an expert at raising and breeding horses, and quickly calms the ponies down. Begin to carefully check the development of your teeth, muscles, and bones.
Ferdinand examined it very carefully, his gestures skillful and gentle. Touched almost every inch of the two ponies, as if caressing the skin of a lover. Xiao Ping suspects that this guy will not be so gentle and focused when he is with his wife.
The two foals also seem to enjoy the treatment, snorting softly and standing motionless to be examined. One pony even cooperatively lifted his foot for Ferdinand to check its hooves.
This scene also surprised Xiao Ping a little, in such a short period of time, two untrained ponies can be so cooperative, people have to admire Ferdinand a little.
In the admiring gaze of everyone, Ferdinand quickly finished the examination, and when he returned to Xiao Ping and Douglas, his lips trembled with excitement.
Douglas was also concerned about the two ponies, and asked a little nervously, "Mr. Ferdinand, what happened?"
However, Ferdinand didn't pay any attention to Douglas at all, he just glanced at the rich man impatiently, and then asked Xiao Ping excitedly: "Are these two ponies really born to you?"
"No!" Xiao Ping shook his head solemnly in denial, and then corrected Ferdinand's statement: "It was born by my horse!"
Ferdinand realized that he had said the wrong thing in his excitement, but he didn't take it to heart at all, and eagerly asked, "Can you let me meet my pony's parents?"
After this period of contact, Xiao Ping also knows a little about Ferdinand's personality. He's just a simple horse idiot, maybe he has devoted his whole life to horse breeding, and is not interested in anything else. As for the sophistication of people or anything, Ferdinand doesn't care at all, which can be seen from his attitude towards Douglas.
However, people like Ferdinand, who can devote all their energy to something without reservation, Xiao Ping has always admired very much. For example, Old Man Qiao who fried tea and Old Man Cao who cooked vegetables are all such people, and Xiao Ping also respects them.
So after listening to Ferdinand's words, Xiao Ping did not refuse, but smiled and said: "Only the stallion is in the pasture, the mare is not here, if you are interested, you can take a look at the stallion." ”
Ferdinand naturally nodded repeatedly, so Xiao Ping pursed his lips and whistled, and it didn't take long for everyone to hear the heavy sound of horses' hooves, and the black devil soon came running from a distance. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
