Chapter 191: Buying a Horse
With such a technical talent, Liu Susu is always a little worried that he will take Qiao.
"Don't worry, that person is definitely sensible. Besides, working in your house is more profitable than doing odd jobs for others. Zhang Wei said. In fact, the man had dragged himself several times and asked if there was anything suitable for him to do. I really didn't have it at the time, so I didn't tell him. Since now Liu Susu said that she was going to find a groom for her younger brother Liu Tiandong to take him to the academy, this is not just right.
"Uncle Zhang, since you introduced me to people, then I believe you. Tell him to come to town in two days. I'll come to him when the time comes. Liu Susu said.
Since you have hired a groom, you can't even have two carriages. So Liu Susu decided to go and see if there was a suitable carriage to buy a pair now.
However, Liu Susu himself doesn't know the quality of the carriage, so he has to trouble Zhang Wei in this matter.
After Liu Susu told Zhang Wei about the fact that he wanted to buy a carriage, Zhang Wei nodded and said: "That's true, don't say that this is the case now, don't say that it's like buying a carriage to pick up your brother Dong." Even if it is used in your daily life, it can be used. I'll explain what I'm doing later, and I'll take you to the stables where the horses are sold to see if there's a suitable horse. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Liu Susu really didn't know what to say to Zhang Wei, because Zhang Wei was too good to himself. It's like treating your own daughter.
"There's nothing to thank you for. Besides, it won't delay me for any effort. Zhang Wei didn't think there was anything about it.
Liu Susu waited for Zhang Wei to explain everything in the store, and then went to the place where the horse was sold with Zhang Wei to choose a horse.
Although Liu Susu has been in the carriage many times, he still drove the ducks to the shelves for the first time, so Liu Susu didn't know what the good or bad of these horses was, let alone how to choose horses.
"Look, this horse is stout. The limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is broad, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, and the joints and tendons are developed. The coat is dense and the coat color is complex. But don't look at it like that. In fact, it is hard-working. Not afraid of cold, can adapt to the very extensive feeding management, and has strong vitality. Able to survive in harsh conditions.
This is the Mongolian horse that must be selected when the imperial court recruits horses, and after such Mongolian horses are tamed, they are not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, and they are extremely brave. It has always been a good military horse......" Zhang Wei said to Liu Susu, pointing to one of the horses.
Liu Susu saw that the horse was similar to what Zhang Wei said, so a horse that can grow up in a hard life is indeed good. However, Liu Susu wanted to see the other horses.
"What about the horse?" Liu Susu asked, pointing to another black horse.
Zhang Wei didn't know much about the horse that Liu Susu was referring to, and the guy in charge of explaining the stable to Liu Susu and them on the side saw this, and immediately excused himself and said: "The horse that the girl is referring to now is our Hequ horse here." ”
"What kind of horse is a meandering horse?" Liu Susu then asked.
"This Hequ horse originates from the grassland at the junction of the three provinces of Qingganchuan in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, because it is located in the Yellow River. Hence the name Hequ Horse. It is an excellent horse with the largest physique among the landraces. The guy said with a look of excitement and smugness reads();. It took him a lot of effort to get the horse back.
Liu Susu expressed disbelief, "Is this horse really that good?" ”
"Girl, this river meanders and the horse's head grows a little. The bridge of the nose is slightly rabbit-shaped, and the neck is broad and thick. With a straight torso, a deep and broad chest, and a stout body, it has an absolute advantage in pulling horses. There is no problem in carrying two or three hundred catties. You can travel fifty miles a day. The horse has a docile temperament, a calm temperament, strong endurance, and a quick recovery from fatigue. Therefore, it is mostly used for service, and a single set of large cars can pull 1,000 pounds of heavy objects. It is a good agricultural horse. The man said it again without getting bored.
Liu Susu shook her head, she meant that she wanted to see the other horses.
The guy saw that although Liu Susu didn't have any dissatisfaction on his face, his eyes basically didn't look at Hequ Ma's body.
The man thought that maybe Liu Susu was not very satisfied with the horses, so he took Liu Susu and them to another stable.
"Why don't you take a look at this horse?" The man said, pointing to a pale gray horse.
Liu Susu couldn't help but be happy when he saw that the horse was still glancing at him.
"Okay, tell me about the horse."
As soon as the guy saw Liu Susu's appearance, he knew that there was a play.
"This horse was born from the cross of the legendary Sweat Horse with other ordinary horses." The guy was very proud of this horse with some sweaty BMW blood.
Liu Susu had heard of it, but Liu Susu would never believe that he would encounter anything in Huangliu Town. You must know how precious the sweat BMW is, when I was still in modern times, I could often see people on TV saying that sweat and blood BMW is hard to find.
In addition, I have heard some people who like horses talk about sweaty BMWs on weekdays, which is basically the same as what they see on TV.
The guy said proudly: "Although our horse is not a real sweat BMW, but it has the blood of a sweat BMW after all, and it is more noble than the others." ”
"That's right, but I still hope that little brother can tell me more about the bloody BMW." Liususu Road.
This is the first time I've seen a horse related to a bloody BMW, so I have to satisfy my curiosity.
"Do you know the origin of this bloody horse?" The guy was obviously smug too.
Liu Susu and Zhang Wei shook their heads.
Seeing this, the guy continued: "It is said that in the autumn of the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a Dunhuang prisoner named "Profiteering" who caught a bloody horse in the local area and presented it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got this horse, he was ecstatic and called it "Tianma". And composed a song, the song said: "Taiyi tribute to the heavenly horse, stained with red sweat and dregs of ochre." Cheng Rong and stumbling thousands of miles, now Anpi Xilong is a friend. ”
"Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a delegation of more than 100 people to Dawan with a horse made of pure gold zuò, hoping to exchange the stallion of Dawan horse for a heavy gift. After coming to Ershi City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom, the king of Dawan may be a horse lover, or he may be considering the war. refused to exchange Dawan horses for the golden horses of the Han Dynasty. On the way back to China, the Han envoy was robbed in the territory of Dawan and the Han envoy was killed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and made the decision to seize the bloody BMW by force. ”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli to lead tens of thousands of cavalry, march 8,000 miles, and arrive at the border city of Yucheng in Dawan, but the initial battle was unfavorable and failed to attack Dawan, so he had to retreat to Dunhuang, and only one-tenth or two of the men and horses were left when he returned."
