Chapter 14 The fruit is dismounted

At the livestock trading center of the Guishi Farmers' Market, Zhu Renming came to the area where horses were sold.

Previously, he looked at cattle and sheep, and felt that they were not very cost-effective, and the cattle were all old cattle, old cattle that were about to end their lives, and they were sold to make beef cattle.

Generally speaking, cattle are more important assets in rural areas, and they are generally sold when they are old.

For Zhu Renming, the old cow bought it has little effect, and he is not selling beef, not to mention that the meat quality of the old cow has been fixed, even if it is fed with the sewage of the divine beast, it is not of much significance.

Besides, there is not much left of the Divine Beast's sewage that drains into the puddle, so he has to use the maximum value of the remaining sewage to exploit it.

It was the first time Zhu Renming came to the horse market exchange, and he didn't like the cattle and sheep, so he chose to watch the horses.

In the southwest, there are no tall horses, and they are all dominated by short horses. And this kind of horse, although not tall, but it is a good hand at heavy body work, and the ability to carry a burden is several times that of an adult, which is much more reliable than the so-called high-headed horse in the mountains.

Although there is no speed, but step by step, diligent, hard-working, not big-tempered, deeply liked by the villagers of Dashan, is more cost-effective than cattle livestock.

In the mountains where the roads are not smooth, the horse's ability to carry heavy loads is reflected, after all, machinery cannot drive and work on complex mountain roads, and it still depends on manpower and animal power.

For example, if you build a house in a mountain village in the southwest region, you can transport bricks and cement bags by this kind of horse, which shows how important a kind of animal power the pony is in the southwest region, and occasionally part-time oxen plough the field, which can be described as an all-round domestic animal.

"Master, what's wrong with this horse?" Zhu Renming walked next to a horse, judging from the color of his coat, it should be a young horse, and his age is estimated to be less than a year old.

When the golden working time of a pony is 2-5 years old, a one-year-old horse cannot reach the strength of an adult horse, and his height is estimated to be a little higher than his waist.

The weight is about 100 catties, if it is a northern horse breed, it should be a foal in the juvenile stage, and this horse has reached a year's mile and is already a young horse.

Zhu Renming was not curious about the height of the horse, this kind of horse is very common in the southwest region, and he was more curious about the horse's condition as if it was not very good, and its hind legs were hanging in the air, as if there was something wrong.

"The hoof is congenitally defective, and it has always been missing a leg, so I plan to sell it in the market."

"Someone would want a horse like this?"

"If you want to, you will still want it, but you can't do farm work, but you can raise it to kill and eat horse meat." The words of the fellow made Zhu Renming fall into contemplation, it seems that the fate of this lame horse is to become a meal on the plate.

"Horse meat? Fellow, have you ever eaten horse meat? It seems that we don't have the habit of eating horse meat in this area. "The people of Liangguang are famous throughout the country for eating everything, whether it is heavenly or underground, as long as they can eat almost everything.

But only he doesn't seem to have eaten much horse meat, at least Zhu Renming has lived here for more than 20 years, and he hasn't even seen what horse meat looks like, let alone eaten it.

"I've eaten it once, and I can't imagine the taste." The countryman's expression didn't seem to be right, they all looked a little blue, Zhu Renming inquired carefully and realized that it turned out that horse meat would be sour and smelly when cooking, and it would be extremely unpalatable if it was not handled well.

In addition, the horse breeds less, at most one at a time, and it has to be carefully raised, and it has been hard work all its life, so it has established a relationship with the owner, and under normal circumstances, when it is old, the horse will be buried, and it is rarely eaten.

The ethnic minorities in the north like to eat horse meat, while the Han people in the Central Plains rarely eat horse meat, and ordinary people probably have never eaten horse meat in their lives. There is no such horse meat sold in the market, on the other hand, foreign countries often eat horse meat, similar to the impression that foreigners are not used to eating dog meat in China, it is a matter of consciousness and social form, maybe foreigners just like the sour taste of horse meat.

As soon as Zhu Renming said this, the fellow understood that it was unlikely that the lame horse would be sold today, and he would encounter a troublemaker.

"Master, I'm not here to make trouble, since you want to sell it, how much do you plan to sell this horse?" The highest level of bargaining is to make the price in the other party's heart a little lower before talking.

The middle-aged fellow glanced at Zhu Renming, and saw that he spoke a local dialect, and he was so young, if he cheated him, it was estimated that he would not be able to cheat.

I have said that I have said it before, and if I open a high price, it is estimated that this last chance to sell it is gone, you must know that this horse is in the growth period, and he eats a lot of forage every day.

The lame horse can't work, and it eats every day, which is sad for the countryman, so he has been on the horse market exchange for the past few days, and he plans to get rid of it as much as possible.

"Four...... Two thousand! "The fellow was going to quote 4,000 at the beginning, which is no different from the normal price of a pony, and it is still a good horse in the golden period.

Now this congenitally disabled young horse wants to sell for 4,000? This is naturally impossible, the countryman's strategy is to quote a high price, and then let people bargain, now, can only quote a real price of two thousand.

"Deal!" Zhu Renming didn't bargain, he also understood that two thousand words were already the bottom line, and if he cut it again, it would be broken up.

The transaction is better, not to mention that he has been shopping for so long, only this horse has the lowest price, and if it is a cow, an old cow, the price is about seven or eight thousand, you must know that beef is a good thing, a cow is slaughtered, all the positions are sold, at least a few thousand can be earned, so there is no shortage of cattle in the market.

Zhu Renming moved the horses to the pickup truck and tied them up, and along the way, the horses drooped their faces and looked sluggish.

With its hind legs dangling, it is used to walking with jumps, so it doesn't have any effect, it just doesn't look good.

The reason why horses can become loyal companions to humans is that they are extremely intelligent and have super perceptual abilities, so they are very attentive to the eyes of passers-by and can receive these negative messages.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I will cure your feet, and I will treat you well in the future!" Zhu Renming touched the lame horse's brown hair on the pickup, calmed it for a while, and then drove the car out of the horse market!

The reason why Zhu Renming said this was mainly because he had the sewage of the fairy world, the magical ability of the sewage from the department of the Divine Beast Breeding Institute, which had made him dizzy these days.

Whether the horse's congenital disability can be cured, although there is no 100% guarantee, there is a certain chance.

If there is a horse on the farm, it can not only travel but also carry heavy loads, which greatly reduces Zhu Renming's workload, which is a help for him.

Judging from Zhu Renming's observation, this horse may contain the blood of a fruitless horse, so the development potential is quite large.

You must know that although this kind of horse is not tall, but the weight that can be carried can reach about ten times its own weight, and there is no problem with thousands of catties, which is the magic of the fruit horse, the amazing carrying capacity, and it is more suitable for people's farms with complex terrain.
