Chapter 39: The Mongolian Horse
After receiving his call, the manager of the horse farm rushed over. "Hello, I'm Dunlop Quake, what kind www.biquge.info of horse do you need?" Although the breed of our horses is not very complete, it is enough. Hope that all the horses on the farms and pastures in the town are basically purchased from here. ”
Zhang Yun shook his hand. "I'm going to buy a few horses to use to patrol the farm, I don't know if you have any good suggestions."
Dunlop thought for a moment and said, "It's simple, you don't need any high-end horses. Like thoroughbreds are expensive and difficult to feed themselves. It's a good choice for horse racing, but it's not a good idea to ride on a regular basis. To raise a thoroughbred is to be sinned.
I think what you need is the kind of guy who is tough to feed and I happen to have a batch of purebred Mongolian horses here, do you want to check it out. ”
Dunlop just mentioned it, and Zhang Yun decided to buy Mongolian horses. He grew up in DXAL near Mongolia and knows a lot about the names of Mongolian horses.
Don't look at the short body of Mongolian horses, their appearance is not good, their physique is not large, the average shoulder height is 120-135 cm, and the weight is 267-370 kg. It's pitiful small compared to other horses.
Mongolian horses are native to the Mongolian plateau and are in a semi-wild state, they have neither comfortable stables nor exquisite feed, they sleep in the grassland infested by foxes and wolves, endure the scorching heat of mosquitoes in summer, and can withstand the severe cold of -40 °C in winter. It can adapt to the extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive under difficult and harsh conditions. It can be walked about 600 kilometers in 8 hours.
The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse.
Since the beginning of the Mongolian expedition to the west, the Mongolian horse has been the most important military horse in the country. It's not that there are no better horses, and the Elima and the big green horses are more robust than them. But no one has shaken their status, which is enough to show their excellence.
Farm use couldn't be better.
Seeing that he was interested, Dunlop took them to see it. A herd of Mongolian horses galloping freely on the meadow is very nice.
Running the mana felt the vigorous vitality of the horses, Zhang Yun said
"Okay, we're going to have this horse."
Zhang Jianguo bent down and looked at the horse's belly. "This horse is very good, but unfortunately there are no geldings, so we should find two geldings."
This is because the male horse that has not geldinged has a long estrus period, almost every 21 days, and it is difficult to control the temper and disobedience during the estrus period.
The gelding has a stable, docile, and bold temperament, without any distractions, and is suitable for riding.
Zhang Yun expressed a different opinion.
"What do you want gelding horses for, I'm going to buy a few more, and when I come back, I can let the horses breed on their own. There will also be horses for sale on the farm. ”
Just kidding, Zhang Yun doesn't know much about the ability to control beasts. Just buy a few horses and find out what it does for animals.
Even if you don't need it later, you have to master that it's not. Always take care of the parrot, it is inevitable that there will be something unclear.
Zhang Jianguo thought for a while, agreed and said no more.
"Well, bring me ten Mongolian horses, five males and five females. How much does it cost? ”
Dunlop glanced at him and said in surprise, "Five stallions, five mares?" What do you buy so much for? Used for breeding? Then you can buy two stallions, and the horses are not monogamous. ”
Zhang Yun smiled awkwardly, he was used to parrots, and thought that horses should also be paired. Who would have thought that horses are polygamous, and only the strongest stallions can win the hearts of mares.
In this case, he was as good as he could, and asked for two stallions and eight mares.
Dunlop had all the Mongolian horses gathered together and asked them to choose.
Zhang Jianguo circled around the horse for a long time there, each of them was about the same, and he didn't know which one to choose.
was ready to discuss with Zhang Yun and let Dunlop help them choose.
Who knew that Zhang Yun said that he didn't need to, and he had to go over and choose it himself.
Zhang Yun touched all the Mongolian horses with his hands, and used mana to penetrate the whole body and compare the differences. The consumption is a bit large, but this is what Zhang Yun expected.
How big is the physique of the Mongolian horse, and if the mana wants to probe around the body, it should consume more. I don't see the difference between the others for the time being.
It seems that as long as it is an animal, the mana is similar to them.
In the end, Zhang Yun pretended to ask for a few horses at random, but in fact, they were all the best among these Mongolian horses. The type that is not very old and physically strong.
Then Zhang Yun paid them to help transport it back to the farm. Dunlop also gave them two sets of saddles very kindly. Thinking that there were several people on the farm, Zhang Yun bought a few more saddles from him.
As soon as they returned to the farm, Nannan ran out and said to them mysteriously, "Grandpa, I know your secret. ”
Zhang Yun came down in a cold sweat on the spot, but he went secretly to buy a gun, because he was afraid that his mother would know. This is not a small crime in China, although Australia can hold it, but his mother will never want him to buy it.
Once she knows, a lecture is indispensable.
But how did Nan Nan know, he didn't tell anyone else. Could it be to deceive them. Today's children are very shrewd and eccentric, and if she catches the handle, she won't blackmail them fiercely.
Zhang Yunzheng is trying to find a way to test whether Nan Nan really knows, or deceive them. I saw my father hurriedly squat down and cover her little mouth.
said, "How did you know that we went to buy a gun, don't tell grandma, grandpa will buy you candy to eat." ”
Yes, I sold myself first, what kind of strength is this?
Looking at the hint of surprise in Nannan's eyes, Zhang Yun couldn't react, the other party was cheating him.
It's a pity that the old man betrayed himself first, so he could only follow the bad luck.
Nan Nan said proudly, "Great, I don't want sugar, I want a car." ”
Zhang Yun couldn't, so he had to promise to buy it for her tomorrow. It's nothing, he has an endless amount of money to spend anyway. Buy a toy for your niece and spend as much as you want.
He has no children now, and his eyes on his niece are similar to looking at his daughter, and it is too late to love.
It was not easy to coax the girl, and her mother Li Mengjie came out, and when she saw them, she asked, "Where did you two run in the morning, the mystery is not known." ”
Zhang Yun took out the words he had prepared a long time ago and took out his bow and arrow from the car.
"We went to buy horses, and we didn't even have a horse on the farm. By the way, I bought two bows and arrows from the town, and went hunting with my father in the afternoon. ”
Li Mengjie shook her head helplessly and didn't say much.
After a while, the horses were sent over, and after eating, the two of them did not care about resting, secretly took their guns from the car, and ran out to hunt.
The horse bought by Zhang Yun belongs to the Uzhumuqin horse among the Mongolian horses. It has always been known for its well-proportioned body, good endurance, strong physique, strong running ability, fast riding speed, strong four hooves, broad shoulders and broad chest.
Compared to some of the world's famous horse breeds, the Don Hippopotamus, the Arabian Horse, the British Thoroughbred, etc., it is not the prettiest or the fastest sprinter, but it is definitely the most durable and has both long and long sprints.
If you let the Ujumuqin horse race with some famous horses in the world, it is estimated that the leading horse will not be the Uzhumuqin horse at the beginning, but after two or three hours, the leading horse will not be another horse, let alone a long-distance run for a week or two.
Ujumuqin Ma can defeat the opponent completely.
Riding a horse and galloping on the grass is a feeling that people who have never experienced it can't imagine at all.
Touching the 38 cover in his hand, Zhang Jianguo was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he would be able to touch a gun in his life. Probably far enough away from the villa that no gunshots could be heard there, he fired a shot into the sky.
"Good baby, what a gun. I said you should hurry up, what are you doing so slowly? ”
Zhang Yun, who had been left behind by him, cried and laughed, his father used to be a good hand at starting horses, and now he is of course fast when he touches horses.
But he was different, although he had ridden a few times in the horse farm, it was just for fun. The coach didn't dare to let him let go of the ride, for fear that something would happen.
I didn't learn a little equestrian skills at all, how dare I run fast.
Zhang Jianguo also didn't ride a horse for too long, and after running for a while, his mood was soothed and his speed slowed down.
After walking for a while, a hare burst out of the field, and both of them opened fire at the same time. But the speed was too fast to hit.
Zhang Yun didn't care, but picked up the sand eagle and shot at the woods next to him.
Private ownership of firearms is prohibited in the country, and ordinary people like him have never touched a gun before. Now it's time to get a chance.
This time he carried a lot of bullets, for this moment.
Unlike the high population density in China, even if you carry a gun and hunt in the deep mountains and old forests, there are reports of injured people.
There were only a few of them on the whole farm, all of them working on the side of the villa, and they were not afraid of hurting people at all.
Besides, listening to the gunshots that rang out from time to time, there were really few people who dared to come and see.
