Chapter Thirty-Six: My Pasture, My Horse
"Hi Pete, do you have a good Quadma recommendation here?" Garcia led Liu Yunxuan to a horse farm owner who sold horses and asked, it seems that the two still know each other.
"Garcia, congratulations on finding a new job." Pete congratulated first, "Of course I have good quartes here, and my quartemas are the best in the whole town." ”
Garcia and Rodriguez each picked one horse in the horse farm, and when they asked the price, the two horses together were $75oo. Liu Yunxuan really didn't expect the price to be so cheap. When I was in Jintian, I heard others talk about it, and those who play horses in China are also mainly quartes, and the price of each horse is nearly 1o thousand yuan, and the price of some with good blood is even more expensive. I didn't expect that it was only more than 3ooo dollars here in the United States, and it was only about 20,000 yuan when it was calculated into RMB.
It can be seen that Garcia and Rodriguez love these two horses, and Liu Yunxuan paid the bill happily.
"Pete, what's the matter with that little red guy in the corner of your stable?" Liu Yunxuan asked, pointing to a listless horse separated by a fence at the edge of the racecourse.
"Oh, this bad boy, he has a bad temper. If you are interested, it can be sold to you cheaper. Pete said. The mention of this horse Pete gave me a headache, and I bought it from a horse dealer for $3ooo dollars.
It's a wild horse, and at first I thought that even a wild horse could be tamed. Unexpectedly, this horse has such a bad temper that he kicks and bites as long as he locks it up with other horses. And I don't eat much, and I'm obviously a lot thinner now than when I bought it.
I've been selling it for almost 1 month, and I haven't sold it. I'm really worried about whether I will starve to death after a while.
"Can I go over and have a look?" Liu Yunxuan asked, and when he noticed this horse, Liu Yunxuan felt that the horse's eyes were very familiar. When I was at home, I often saw the fearless look in the eyes of rhubarb and chestnut.
"Of course, but you have to be outside the fence and don't get hurt by it. But don't worry, it will definitely be a good horse after you tame it" Pete saw that Liu Yunxuan was interested in this horse, and hurriedly recommended it.
Liu Yunxuan walked slowly to the fence, his movements were gentle, so as not to startle the horse. And the red horse also turned its head to look at Liu Yunxuan.
Liu Yunxuan saw that the whole horse was already thin, and the hair on his body was a little dull. Not as bright as other horses. In addition to the fact that those eyes were a little expressive, even Liu Yunxuan could see that the condition of this horse was not very good.
Liu Yunxuan looked at the horse for a while, picked up the carrot that was placed on the side for feeding horses, secretly dripped a few drops of space water on it, and handed it to the horse.
The red horse curiously stretched out his head and sniffed it, probably smelling the smell of space water, and bit the carrot in one bite, and ate it in two times in three times. After eating, he stuck out his tongue and licked it.
"Well, Pete, I love this little guy, but you know it's in terrible condition."
"Liu, since you like it, how about $15oo?" Pete asked wistfully.
"No, Pete, the price is too high, I can only give you $12oo, if it is past this price I won't buy it. Who knows if they will be able to feed after they go back. Liu Yunxuan complained.
"Boss, you better look at other horses, even if this horse survives, the recovery of the body will not be too good." Garcia persuaded on the side, in fact, the horse had already broken its vitality according to Chinese terms, and it was not in any better condition when it recovered, which was the main reason why Pete had not sold it for so long.
Pete heard Garcia's persuasion and hurriedly agreed to Liu Yunxuan's price, "Okay, I can see that you really like this bad boy, it belongs to you." ”
In fact, Liu Yunxuan didn't know that this horse was in a bad condition? Of course not. However, he has space water, and the effect of space water on the small animals in the mountain village Liu Yunxuan knows, with space water in hand, this bad boy in Pete's mouth is a good-looking sooner or later, not a good horse.
After the transaction is completed, the horse belongs to Liu Yunxuan. The people watching on the side shook their heads, thinking that Liu Yunxuan had lost a lot. Liu Yunxuan didn't explain much, sooner or later it will surprise you.
There is a special person in charge of transportation in the trading market, and Liu Yunxuan only needs to pay a little fee. The main reason was that Liu Yunxuan's red horse was more troublesome to transport, and in the end, Liu Yunxuan took the carrot and led it to the car. In fact, now this horse is no longer exclusive to Liu Yunxuan. It's just that Liu Yunxuan wants to keep a low profile.
Garcia and Rodriguez helped Liu Yunxuan buy a set of denim clothes, plus saddle stirrups or something, but they didn't expect to spend Liu Yunxuan more than $4oo.
Follow the convoy back to the now-renamed pastoral pasture. Liu Yunxuan is now Garcia, and their horses are far away from their own horses. It seems that this is also being bullied.
There is nothing out of the herd to get into the pasture. A group in the east and a bunch in the west are looking for food. Although the weather is still relatively cold, the pastures of the pastures are the kind that can overwinter and allow these cattle to taste the freshness.
And Liu Yunxuan's red-haired horse looked at Liu Yunxuan after arriving at the ranch. Liu Yunxuan pretended to bring out a basin of water from the house, but in fact, it was all space water, and a trip to the house was just a cover-up.
Smelling the familiar taste he had just eaten, the red horse's head was inserted directly into the basin, and after drinking, he shook his head and snorted. made Liu Yunxuan watery.
"Oh, boss, this horse has already started to accept you." Garcia said in amazement from the side. For this wild horse Garcia also heard and called Pete's joke. The name of the bad boy has been called, which shows how bad his temper is. Unexpectedly, he accepted Liu Yunxuan as soon as he got in touch with him.
"This horse has a good temper, how can it be as bad as you say," Liu Yunxuan said, touched the horse's face, and fed a few carrots. The red horse was not polite, and ate them all.
Garcia on the side thought to himself, "It's a good temper, and you can ask the horse that was bitten by it to know what its temper is."
"Okay boss, now it only accepts you, you have to brush it yourself." Garcia said helplessly. In fact, in the United States, they take care of their own mounts personally, one is to cultivate feelings, and the other is to increase tacit understanding. Garcia knew that Liu Yunxuan hadn't done it before, but for this horse, even if Garcia wanted to help, he didn't dare to help.
Liu Yunxuan thought that brushing the bristles of a horse was very simple, but when he really operated it, he realized that it was fundamentally different from what he thought.
Because the temperature is relatively low now, warm water is used. It shows brushing with a long-bristled brush dipped in water mixed with this animal-specific insecticide, and then brushed again with a short-bristled brush from beginning to end. Finally, the water on the horse is dried with a blanket. It took Liu Yunxuan more than two hours to finish this set.
The red horse is also very well-behaved, and has been standing in the stable and letting Liu Yunxuan fiddle.
"In the future, I will call you Flame" Liu Yunxuan touched the horse's head and said, it is no longer what it was when I first saw it. It is estimated that no one has dared to brush this horse, but now the coat color looks much brighter after brushing.
"Boss, you can communicate with the flames first, and Rodriguez and I will ride around first. Anyway, you can't ride your flame now, and I'll teach you how to ride a horse when I can ride it later. Garcia finished speaking on the horse, and then he turned his horse and ran with Rodriguez towards the pasture.
