Chapter 132: The Stables Are Completed
Shen Qin was still encouraged by Xia Wencai to get on the horse, and Coco was also very well-behaved to lead the horse for her grandmother, Shen Qin was frightened for a while, Coco stood in front of the horse is a small point, for fear that the horse will step on Coco flattened!
Although the horse was very docile, Shen Qin just glanced at it behind his back and didn't react, but after all, the child was too young and it was really dangerous to stand in front of the horse, so Xia Youwei went to pick up Coco and take over the work of leading the horse, while Xia Wencai was beside Shen Qin to prevent her from falling.
Shen Qin was quite scared at first, but after Xia Youwei led the horse and took her for a few laps, she slowly let go, followed Xia Wencai's guidance, slowly sat up straight, clamped the horse's belly, and walked up in the yard.
After a while, Lin Xiaowan and Xia He also returned, and Lin Xiaowan smiled after seeing this: "Yes, Aunt Shen, you learned to ride a horse so quickly."
Xia He didn't ride for a while today and went to open a store, and he was still thinking about riding a horse in his heart, but now he saw Shen Qin riding a horse, and he was also itchy, and when he saw that his horse was also tied in the yard, he also wanted to ride two more laps.
As soon as she untied the horse's reins, Zhao Qinglian came out of the kitchen and shouted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Seeing this, Xia He had to give up, Xia Youwei glared at her angrily and said, "I'm not a child anymore, my heart is still so heavy, and the horse can't be ridden at home!"
Xia He stuck out his tongue at her father and ran away, Xia Youwei was even more speechless, how could he think that this daughter was getting younger and younger, but when he thought of Xia Wencai instead, he felt that Xia He was at least more reliable than Xia Wencai, this guy and a child can debate for a long time!
When eating, fortunately, Xia Wencai's family has a large round table for entertaining guests, otherwise more than ten people really can't sit, and usually their family eats at a table that can sit seven or eight people.
The banquet was very lively, and these employees who made the horse shed were full of praise for Zhao Qinglian's craftsmanship, saying that this was the best meal they had ever eaten since they worked, not that they were talking nonsense, although most of the horses were raised by some rich people, and the food they were entertained at home was good. But compared with the space production, it is not a grade to leave, of course, they just think that Zhao Qinglian's craftsmanship is good. This made Zhao Qinglian very happy, and persuaded them to eat more.
"This chicken soup is really fragrant, it's much better than the last time Li Er's family bought it!" Xia Youwei took a sip of chicken soup and said.
"Needless to say, you don't look at whose son raised it!" Zhao Qinglian was also very satisfied with the taste, the soup was thick but not greasy. It's delicious, better than the soup made by some old hens for many years, and the chicken is not as dry as ordinary chicken, it is very strong.
"I think the balls are delicious!" Niuniu said while eating, pointing to a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks on the table.
"Eat more if it's delicious, it's rare for you picky little guy to boast about a dish, you see how well-behaved Sister Coco is, eat anything!" After Xia Youwei sandwiched a piece of egg for Niuniu, he praised Cocoa, which was fragrant for everything.
Coco was even happier when she heard the compliment, and the dishes in the bowl were eaten by her in a few gulps!
Xia Wencai is also very satisfied with the products produced by the ranch, the taste is excellent, although the nutritional value has not been checked. But it won't be bad if you think about it, and now in this world, everything pays attention to economic benefits, many say that it is a local chicken or a pig, but all of them are fed with feed, no way, who calls feed feed grows fast, and the cost is low!
And now the people in the city are used to eating feed and breeding food, and the local chickens and ducks basically can't tell the difference, Xia Wencai remembers a joke he heard when he was in college. said that he was an old smoker, who usually bought cigarettes in the commissary downstairs, and only ate one brand, but went out at a time. Seeing that the cigarettes in his pocket were almost finished, he went to a store casually and bought a pack of the same brand, but after opening it and only taking a puff, he felt that the taste was wrong. The boss felt wronged and said that he was absolutely an authentic tobacco company importing Tong Suo, but the old smoker insisted that the taste was different from the taste he usually ate, it must be fake cigarettes, and finally the boss asked him to take out his own cigarettes and give him a sip, the taste is really wrong, the old smoker and his sister, who has smoked fake cigarettes for decades, must feel wrong now smoking real cigarettes! What a sad story!
After eating, the workers continued to work, and the assembly of the outer body of the stables was complete, and now it was only necessary to separate the compartments, and then put the hay, the nests, and so on, and it was completed.
At about nine o'clock, the horse shed was finally completed, and the labor and material costs cost Xia Wencai more than 30,000 oceans, after paying, Xia Wencai told them that he had a ranch, and there were dozens of horses in it that had not yet settled down, although he had already called Sun Zhengfeng to call their company, but Xia Wencai still told them again.
After listening to a few people, a man who took the lead asked about the situation and estimated the price for Xia Wencai, saying that it could be done for almost 200,000 yuan, Xia Wencai finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, and now he still has it after he is in his twenties, although it has become a bitter force after spending it all, but it is good that he does not have to go to other places to withdraw money.
After sending a few people away, they began to settle the horses, Xia Wencai's followers, Zhao Qinglian, Xia Youwei, Shen Qin, Xia He, Lin Xiaowan and the two children's ponies, a total of eight horses, accounting for eight compartments, there are still two of the ten compartments here, and the only ones left are mini horses, but the mini horses are small, and they have a docile personality, and they won't fight when they live together, so they are locked in a compartment, and they can be companions together.
After driving the horses into the compartment one by one, Xia Wencai was about to turn around, but found that his clothes were tight, and he almost didn't fall him.
Xia Wencai patted its horse's head, and when it let go, he thought that this guy was reluctant to let him go, so he said, "Good boy, it's time to sleep, let's go out tomorrow to play."
After Xia Wencai finished speaking, he turned around and left, who knew that the fart worm screamed when he saw Xia Wencai leaving, this time it stabbed the hornet's nest, and the horses in the other compartments also began to call, and it was noisy. Xia Wencai was having a headache when he saw this, could it be that these horses did not adapt to the new environment?
At this time, Lin Xiaowan next to her asked Xia Wencai: "Have you fed them at night?"
Xia Wencai was forced at once, and he turned to his parents who were cleaning up the vegetable garden and asked, "Mom and Dad, have you fed the horses?"
Zhao Qinglian pulled out some of the spoiled vegetables and said, "I didn't feed them, I thought you had fed them, and besides, we don't know what to eat them!"
"Xia Wencai, you are a pig, I don't know how to explain these to my aunt, and you still raise horses, you may starve to death in two days!" Lin Xiaowan also complained for a while, holding grievances for her beloved horse, and it was really unfortunate to follow such a careless owner!
Xia Wencai also secretly said that he must have consulted Hu Zhimin carefully, there are actually many types of horse food, rye grass, alfalfa and other pastures in his pasture can be fed to horses, and then general vegetables and horses will also eat, especially carrots or something, horses like it very much, but horse feeding is best to pay attention to nutritional matching, the best thing is to often feed some coarse grains, such as, soy products, wheat, wheat stalks, hay, etc., you can also occasionally add some bone meal or something to their food, which is also beneficial to horses. If the conditions are possible, it is okay to feed some eggs and fruits often, horses are very fond of eating, and eating more eggs can maintain the luster of the coat color.
Of course, these are just the feeding preparations of Xia Wencai's own horses, as for the two hundred horses in the village, they must not have this treatment, they are bought to make money, but they are not here to be the uncle's supply, usually just feed some grass and coarse grains.
When I went to the ranch, I had already told them about the feeding of the horses, and the family forgot that if it weren't for the "rebellion" of these horses, they would really be hungry today.
Xia Wencai found his parents first and told them how to feed the horses, because there are only some soybeans and vegetables at home now, today there is only one way to make do with it, a manger mixed with some beans, vegetables, fruits, and a few eggs in it, the treatment is not high, Shen Qin and Zhao Qinglian are very distressed, this is better than many people eat better!
The horses seemed to be really hungry, and when they saw the food, they stopped making a fuss, and they all came up and began to munch, squeaking and eating with a lot of wine!
Seeing that the horses were eating well, Xia Wencai was also very happy, he went to fetch water again and filled the water nest for them, it was really like serving his own son.
After eating and drinking, most of the horses ran to the hay and stood, but Coco asked Xia Wencai curiously what they were doing and why they didn't move!
Xia Wencai explained with a smile: "Of course, they are full of food and drink and start sleeping, which is similar to you two little guys."
"Uncle is a liar!" Niu Niu also spoke next to her.
"Oh? How did I lie, but tell me about it! Xia Wencai didn't understand what Niuniu meant.
"They are all standing, how can they be sleeping, and my uncle will know to lie to us!" Niuniu is still very proud of being able to expose Xia Wencai's lies!
"Although your uncle is often full of nonsense, he really didn't lie to you this time, they are starting to sleep, and you see how many horses have their eyes closed!" Lin Xiaowan also smiled at this time. "But how can anyone sleep standing up? Coco sleeps all lying down! Coco also agreed with Niuniu, thinking that Xia Wencai and Lin Xiaowan were too unreliable, don't think they are children and fool.
"Horses don't say that all of them sleep standing up, they also have a few who will sleep on their backs, but that's just a very few, the reason why horses sleep standing is because of their animal nature, in order to avoid predators when they survive in the wild, oh, predators are lions, tigers and wolves, so you must maintain a certain degree of vigilance, and you can escape in time when there is danger when you are standing and sleeping, and over time you will develop the habit of sleeping standing up!" Xia Wencai began to popularize science for children.
As soon as Xia Wencai finished speaking, Lin Xiaowan added: "There is also a saying that the weight of horses is too much for their legs, and it is very difficult for them to get up after lying down, and it is easy for their legs to be injured, so they can sleep standing up!"
After finishing speaking, I took two children who seemed to understand and got ready to sleep! (To be continued.) )
