Chapter 12: Big Buying

"Wei, Quart is the best choice, this is the rancher's choice." Simon Sr. recommended to Weida, "They can be racehorses and good companions for cowboys." ”

Weida nodded, the Quarter horse is really famous, it is the most popular horse breed in the United States today, not only famous for horse racing, but also famous for western cowboy sport horses, horse shows, and service cattle horses. Of course, Weida has also heard of some Quart's reputation, and he has also been to some ranches during this time, and basically Quart is basically the best choice for ranchers.

"You don't know how to ride a horse yet, so we need adult mares who have a gentle personality and are great for a rookie like you. Wei, riding is not something that can be easily trained, a good cowboy needs a lot of patience, and they also need to treat their horses as their best companions to ensure that you get the help of the horses. Old Simon was gushing that the horses were spiritually enough to know who was good for them.

"Well, choose two mares and a stallion. Old Simon, I'm not going to be able to do it at this time, I know I can't ride now, and the mare is a good coach for me. Wei Da smiled, the mare is the mare, although it is not possible to ride the horse and whip now, but it is not bad, riding skills can be practiced.

Weida stupidly followed old Simon, and the few quartes here were basically adult hybrids, which were not too expensive; So Wei Da is also following Old Simon, with such an old cowboy here, Wei Da doesn't have to worry about being pitted. They are all adult horses that are more than three years old, looking at these 'horses' with very good looks, Wei Da is very happy, in his opinion, these muscular and sturdy horses are not a noble bloodline, but they are definitely not worse than Chitu or something, because this is a horse belonging to Wei Da.

"Old Simon, help me see that little pony, I like him very much." The three horses cost more than 10,000 dollars, and after completing the purchase, Weida's eyes suddenly lit up; It was a dark black pony, almost the size of a big wolfdog, and it was basically a newborn horse.

"Cute little guy, it looks so healthy. Wei, believe me, this little guy hasn't been ** yet, it also has a certain wildness now, if you can cultivate it from a young age, this will be a great choice. Those adult horses have all passed by, and they basically don't have much character. Old Simon circled around the pony several times, turned around and patted Weida, who thought it was really good that Weida had chosen this pony.

"Then I'll buy this pony back too, I think I'll be patient now and wait until this cute little creature grows up." Weida patted the pony on the head, and didn't say anything, but bought it; A lot of the time animals are the best companions, they don't have so many complicated thoughts, they know who is good for them, these simple animals can also bring good fun a lot of times, Wei Da feels that it is definitely a good thing to raise such a pony.

Weida's time is still relatively abundant, and these horses don't need to wait much, and they can be loaded directly; Little Simon drove the trailer to the herding market, and the three adult horses were pulled into the trailer, and the black pony that Weida liked was very stubborn, and he was reluctant to get on the cart now. Fortunately, old Simon is still very experienced, and he successfully tricked the pony into the car.

Little Simon drove back, and Weida, led by Old Simon, was ready to buy some equipment; Cowboys have their own saddles, and although they buy three adult horses to ride, they need to prepare saddles, bridles, and even riding boots. Now that he has his own ranch and his own horses, there is no reason why Weida should not be professional.

"Wei, if you need harness in the future, then come to Tony's shop, he has the best harness here. Nowadays, many mechanical products look good, but I recommend that you choose those that are purely handmade, such handmade products will make people feel more comfortable and more durable. Old Simon took Weida into a harness shop, and looked at the rows of hanging saddles, bridles, etc., and Weida felt dazzled.

"Old Simon, I think you might be able to help me with those ideas now, I don't know much about them." Wei Da was a little dazzled, he basically didn't know anything now, don't look at him as a rancher, but Wei Da hadn't experienced such a thing as riding a horse, so he naturally didn't understand these professional equipment.

"No, Wei, you have to make your own choices, I'll only tell you what you need, but your feelings are what matter." Old Simon said to Wei Da very seriously, of course he knew that Wei Da didn't know anything about riding, and he was indeed very patient to help Wei Da make references, and he would indeed give Wei Da some advice; But he doesn't have an idea about these items that belong to Weida, because Weida is responsible for his choices.

Although Wei Da doesn't know what kind of items are the best, it is not difficult to have old Simon on the side to mention it, plus his own feelings; Anyway, the items needed were all mentioned by Old Simon, and Wei Da felt as comfortable as he came. From saddles, bridles, bridles, stirrups, etc., and then high-top riding boots to belt buckles and leather trousers, these are all purchased at the suggestion of old Simon.

Wei Da felt very good, although he basically ran around non-stop at the end of the day, but Wei Da suddenly found that sometimes it was still very good to go shopping and buy things; However, Wei Da is not like an ordinary woman shopping, he is shopping in a targeted manner, which will be more efficient. It's just that I have to say that Wei Da is now enjoying the fun of shopping, looking at a large number of large and small items, Wei Da feels that he is still very satisfied.

"Old Simon, I'm going to the supermarket now to buy some beef and vegetables, our ranch doesn't have vegetables, and now there is no meat, I know that the rancher needs to provide beef and mutton to the cowboys, you don't need to be polite." Old Simon sat in the pickup, Wei Da turned his head to look at old Simon and smiled, sometimes respecting tradition is still the best choice, although Wei Da is not rich in his hands now, but he will not be stingy in these things.

"Well, Wei, I'll admit you're a friendly fellow, and you do have such a habit in Abilene, but your ranch is devoid of cattle and sheep right now." Old Simon laughed, although these beef and mutton are not necessarily amazing, the key is that Wei Da's performance proves that Wei Da is not a stingy person, but also a person who can get along well and respect tradition, which also makes Wei Da more confident that he can cooperate happily with Wei Da.

"Actually, I like to eat beef, but we may have to wait a while before we can taste the cattle and sheep from our pasture, and they are still just cubs." Wei Da is also a bit of a headache, his own ranch is now nothing, which also means that Wei Da will definitely need to buy food constantly for a period of time in the future, because his ranch is not self-sufficient at all.

Since food was mentioned, Wei Da was also interested; Although it is only an hour's drive to the town, it is not very convenient, and it is also very good to buy some vegetables. Although eating beef and mutton is very good, but eating meat every day is not the same thing, those cabbage, leeks, eggplant, edamame, tomatoes and other seeds are still very necessary, because Wei Da still has a Chinese stomach after all.

It can be said that he is really full of returns, and Wei Da also feels that his big purchase this time is basically to meet the needs of the pasture for a period of time; Wei Da plans to stay in the pasture for the next period of time, and the cattle and sheep are about to be sent, also because Wei Da wants to learn riding, of course, the most important thing is that Wei Da needs to go and inspect his territory, since these things are almost completed, Wei Da will of course choose to take it easy.
