Chapter 85: Buying a Horse (3)

After more than half an hour, the offspring of the five empress's scepters were all tested, and according to Pei Pei's own half-bucket of water and the inspection of the experienced Joey, the appearance of these five pure-blooded ponies was quite qualified, so the county lord asked old Andre in a matter-of-fact manner: "These horses are all good, can you quote their respective prices?" ”

Pointing to one of the oldest two-and-a-half-year-old horses, AndrΓ© Sr. said: "This 'Red Oak' participated in the two-year-old horse race in the Breeder's Cup this year, and the results were quite good, winning a fifth place, so the price was the most expensive, 450,000 US dollars. ”

Pei Pei shook her head when she heard this, she was only in fifth place, and the price was about to reach 450,000 US dollars, and she didn't want to be wronged. She has such a fairy baby space in her hands, even if she is not a thoroughbred, after a period of adjustment. After teaching, she can run a championship, and if it weren't for the Triple Crown Race of thoroughbreds, she wouldn't have come all the way to Soma.

She asked Old Andre directly: "Which one is the cheapest of your five horses?" ”

When old Andre heard this, he pointed to the youngest half-year-old horse and replied: "This horse has just turned half a year old and is still developing, so the price is the cheapest, if you want it, take it for 20,000 dollars." ”

Fu Ya on the side stepped forward at this time and reminded Pei Pei in Chinese: "Peel, I have been checking on the Internet in the car before, and the annual horse races start with the first Kentucky Beat in May, and after the Triple Crown, there is also the Breeders' Cup in October. Not all thoroughbreds can race the Triple Crown, and they must participate in one or two small races a month in the early stages to accumulate a certain number of points to get a ticket to the Triple Crown. If you want to take part in next year's racing trip, you can't buy a horse that is too young, or you can buy a horse over the age of one and under two years old, and you can compete in the Breeder's Cup two-year-old race in October next year. ”

After listening to this, Pei Pei pondered for a moment, pointed to a maroon horse in the second manger and asked old Andre: "This horse should not be 2 years old, how much does it cost?" ”

Old Andre looked at Pei Pei with a strange look and replied: "This is a mare, I plan to keep it for future breeding, mares usually don't go on the track!" ”

Pei Pei sneered: "Who said mare can't go on the track!" Your horse is not fully developed now, and it can't be bred, even if it is bred, there is no guarantee that its offspring will have good results, and you don't want to talk about the great-great-great-granddaughter of the secretariat, I don't know how many generations have passed this bloodline, you just give a real price, we come all the way once, and we don't want to return disappointed. ”

Old Andre touched his nose, lowered his head and pondered, and after a moment he raised his head and spread his palm against Peipei, and compared it to a big "five".

Pei Pei deliberately asked, "Five thousand?" ”

"How is that possible!" Old Andre screamed and shouted: "Fifty thousand, less than fifty thousand will not be sold!" ”

β€œok! Deal! But you're going to give me a saddle and water reins! Pei Pei reached out and slapped the palm of old Andre's hand, and replied with a smile.

After the business was negotiated, old Andre was not stingy with a set of harnesses, so he nodded to Peipei, and then opened the horse pen and walked in.

"Wait a minute, I'll lead the horse out." Old Andre put the saddle on the pony, put a water rein on the horse's mouth, and then took out the maroon mare and instructed Douglas beside him: "You take the horse and take these young ladies to the track for a walk, and I am here to prepare the pedigree certificate and pedigree information for trading." ”

Douglas took the reins of the horse, nodded to Pei Pei and the others, and said, "Beautiful guests, come with me to the runway outside." ”

Pei Pei followed Uncle Black Douglas out of the stable, rode the little mare and ran two laps on the track, feeling good, riding on the horse, she suddenly recalled the last horse riding in her last life, that is, that polo game, she lost her life but got the baby to be reborn, she not only sighed, is this a reincarnation.

Shaking her head and throwing the sudden thought to the back of her mind, the county lord turned over and dismounted, handing the reins to Reese, who was waiting.

Reese took the reins excitedly, and couldn't wait to turn over and run around the horse, watching her big girl touch the mane on the pony's body with a look of love, Pei Pei smiled and asked Glass: "In addition to thoroughbreds, do you sell other horse breeds such as quarte horses?" ”

Douglas replied to Pei Pei with a smile: "In fact, there are not many thoroughbred horses that can be sold in our horse farm every year, and there are few people who can really afford to buy and raise thoroughbreds, so the main business of the horse farm is still the Quarter horse and the Shire horse, compared to the Shire horse is purely used to pull the cart, the Quarter horse can be ridden, and can be used for grazing and driving, with a wide range of uses. ”

"Do I need to register with the trading center to buy and sell Quarter Horse?" Pei Pei asked again.

"There's no need for this, just negotiate the price, sign the agreement and pay the money, and then you can take the horse directly in the racecourse." Douglas replied.

Pei Pei nodded, and then beckoned to Reese and Fu Ya, "Reese, Aya, each of you go and pick a quart horse, and I will give you a year-end bonus as the boss!" ”

When Reese heard this, she cheered, rushed to the little boss, couldn't help hugging the little boss and snorted the little boss in the face, "Boss, I love you to death!" You are the most generous and empathetic boss! ”

The county lord's mother wiped her face in disgust, and scolded with a smile: "If you hug me again, the year-end bonus will be canceled!" ”

When Reese heard this, she immediately let go of her hand, winked at the little boss, and then beckoned to Fu Ya, "Honey, let's go, let's go pick a horse." ”

Fu Ya was not so excited, she looked at the horse in Reese's hand worriedly, coughed and said to Peipei: "Boss, I don't know how to ride a horse, it's a waste to buy it, or I won't want it." ”

Reese took the reins of the horse and walked to Fu Ya, as soon as Fu Ya saw the horse's head coming towards her, she was so frightened that she immediately took a few steps back, Reese laughed, "Aya, it turns out that you are afraid of horses?" ”

Fu Ya straightened her face and replied seriously: "I'm not afraid, I'm just not used to it!" ”

Reese took the reins of the horse and walked a few steps towards Fu Ya, this time Fu Ya did not retreat, but her expression was still nervous.

"Alright, Reese, don't tease Aya!" The little boss finally spoke up, "Douglas, you take these two beauties to pick out the quart horse, Aya, don't shirk it, you may have never ridden a horse, so you are not used to it, and when you have your own horse, after getting along for a while, you will like it and fall in love with the sport of horse riding." ”

Fu Ya was silent for a moment, and finally nodded to the little boss, "Then thank you, boss!" With that, she looked at Douglas and Reese, "Let's go, take us to the horses." ”
