Chapter 32: Two Uncles (Three More Requests for Subscription)
"Uncle Glewin, are the pens for the horses ready?"
"Of course, I've cleaned them all up, and I've been busy for a week to prepare food for them. These two little ones can eat more than us. He asked with some confidence, "I heard that there is also a breeder coming along, right?" ”
"Well, so you don't have to worry, he'll stay here for at least a month, teach you all the things to look out for, and then go back to England."
Glevin used to be a farmer and had experience raising horses, but they were all pulled horses and fed extensively.
But this time Marita gave Zhou Nan and Audrey as a gift, but it was two two-year-old British thoroughbreds, this kind of horse has always been known as the nobility of horses because of its ability to run short distances, even if it is fed, it is very different from ordinary horses.
Just to buy all kinds of feed for these two horses, Zhou Nan has already taken out three thousand Swiss francs, which is only half a month's amount.
Seeing that there were more than thirty kinds of food in the recipe, Zhou Nan also felt that the horses were better than the people.
Fortunately, there are Kelly and Glevin in this family, otherwise, it would be Marita who gave them these two horses, and I am afraid that Zhou Nan and Audrey would not be able to support them.
In fact, in his heart, Zhou Nan also felt that these two gifts from Marita were a burden, and now the two of them are too busy every day, and even the communication with John is much less, not to mention these two horses that are going to be raised like uncles.
However, Zhou Nan can't say this yet, and he has to accept Marita's favor.
First of all, Audrey was very happy, she rode a few horses with Marita in England, and she liked this sport very much, and mentioned it to Zhou Nan a few times, wanting to buy two horses and come back to raise.
But she wanted to be the kind of public horse that didn't need to be carefully fed and trained, and now she was given two uncles.
Secondly, this matter has been spread in the media, which has made countless people envious. There was a count of a small Eastern European country who was now living in Paris, and he said in the media that he was willing to buy the two horses for 200,000 dollars.
Not only was it envied by outsiders, but even Nuo Rd was very moved, and discussed with Zhou Nan that Zhou Nan could exchange these two horses for whatever he wanted.
Thoroughbred horses with a clear pedigree are already in demand in the UK, not to mention two ponies with pure blood. Now these two horses are given by the princess of the royal family, and the meaning is even different, so although Zhou Nan is a little disgusted and cumbersome, he has not thought of refusing.
Because he made up for some knowledge of horses, he learned that the original British thoroughbred was just a name. And in fact, the bloodline of this horse can no longer be skewered on strings.
A true thoroughbred, horse, if not an Arabian horse, a horse with a special strength, such as a Akhal-Teke horse, such as a Mongolian horse, is actually not valuable.
made up for some horse knowledge, and Zhou Nan didn't like thoroughbred horses, because of this, horses, except for short distances, are almost useless, and they are also famous brain-dead horses.
Thoroughbred horses have a very low IQ, and they are still famous second goods among horses, and they are very stubborn. But because the British invented the racehorse, it had a place to play, so the horse became valuable and noble.
In contrast, Zhou Nan prefers the endurance of the Akhal-Teke horse, that is, the sweaty BMW, the intelligence of the Arabian horse, and the elegance of the Andalusian horse.
Ask a little lower, and give him two quart horses that don't need to be carefully cared for!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Etinny, who went to the Netherlands to pick up the two horses, entered the farm with a special carriage, and Audrey, who had been a little impatient for a long time, didn't care about practicing, and pulled Zhou Nan to the stable.
In order to welcome the two horses today, she did not wear any makeup at all, nor did she wear any perfume on her body. Holding Zhou Nan's hand, he asked nervously, "Will Albert and Sergi like me?" What if they don't like me? ”
Zhou Nan shook his head helplessly: "Then slaughter and eat meat!" ”
Audrey burst out laughing and slapped Zhou Nan unwillingly. "Big Bad...... Marita will kill you. ”
Zhou Nan snorted and said, "I'm going to be jealous if you do this again." ”
She couldn't help but giggle, leaned over, saw that no one was around, and kissed Zhou Nan quickly. "In my heart, you will always be the most important one."
A large crowd had gathered here in the stable, and old Mrs. Helde stopped Brentany from looking at the car. "Brentani, don't get too close. Ponies are in an unfamiliar environment and need a process of adaptation, and you will scare them by doing so. ”
But her stop could not stop the curiosity of the others, and after the fence was opened, the British keeper led the pony out of the trailer, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the maroon pony.
Glewin looked particularly proud at this time, took it from the keeper's hand, looked at it for a long time, and grinned, not knowing what to be happy about.
"This is my Sergi, Marita said it was only twenty-one years old, and it can't be ridden yet, and it will be ridden again when it's thirty months."
Zhou Nan also looked at the car curiously, wanting to see what his Albert looked like. "Then wait nine months before you start riding them, just enough to develop a relationship."
Albert is a pure black steed, with a pure coat with almost no variegation, and his black hair reflects a satin-like sheen in the sunlight.
Being able to be given as a gift by Marita, these two horses are of course the best of the best, and both Zhou Nan and Audrey are very satisfied with these two horses.
Zhou Nan also didn't know what the two girls said in the telegrams they exchanged between them, and he didn't know how they could have given the two horses such two names.
Come to think of it, Albert is Marita's grandfather's name. If you dare to call a horse by the name of your ancestors in China, you will be expelled from your home even if you will not be killed as an unworthy descendant!
Zhou Nan actually waited until an hour later to see the two ponies, mainly to give the two ponies a little time to get familiar with the new environment.
The breeder then fed the two ponies a meal to replenish their physical exertion along the way and calm them down.
Zhou Nan also carefully inquired about the process of Etinny's trip to the Netherlands to receive the ponies. The two horses were embarkated in London, escorted by three men, and transported directly to Rotterdam, where they disembarked and boarded directly into the professional carriage that Etinny had driven over.
Along the way, they were not allowed to eat anything except the water that the keepers carried with them.
Now that they are still young, it is good for the keeper to take them for some activity, and when they are three years old, they will start to receive professional training.
At that time, Zhou Nan and they will have to spend a sum of money to hire a professional horse trainer. It takes at least a year to know if they can become a professional racehorse.
Albert is a stallion that has not been fanned off, because of his pure pedigree, he can enjoy it even if he can't be a professional racehorse.
But if Serge can't escape, it will be hard, and I am afraid that he will have to spend the rest of pregnancy and childbirth in the future.
Audrey took off her skirt and straight-leg pants and put on jeans for the first time, an image that would never have appeared in the outside world.
The team around Audrey has created a future image for Audrey. Elegance, nobility, purity, some of these are Audrey's qualities, some are deliberately labeled, in short, to remind anyone of Audrey, to see Audrey, will be associated with these words.
Jeans are such a look, and they will never appear in public.
At this time, she was a little nervous, and like a little pitiful, she took a carrot and handed it to Sergi with longing.
But Sergi didn't give her any face, and just snorted at her, and poor Audrey was sprayed with saliva in her face, and she was dumbfounded.
Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, but unfortunately he didn't bring a camera and couldn't take pictures of her embarrassment.
Glewin and the three Britons couldn't help laughing, Audrey was embarrassed to be coquettish with them, but she wouldn't let Zhou Nan go. Throwing away the carrot, thinking about Zhou Nan pounced. "Jonas, you're so disgusting that you laugh at me."
Zhou Nan laughed as he ran. "Don't come here, you're too dirty. Terrible, Sergi's saliva is like giving you a bath. ”
Audrey was even more reluctant, caught up with Zhou Nan, who let her, rub a few times on his clothes, and asked Zhou Nan to carry her to the pool outside the stable to wash her face.
Originally, there was no groundwater in the villa Sennar, and the water was purified by a channel brought in by the water of Lake Lucerne. Since there is no drainage, there has not been much inhabitation of the peninsula.
In this replanning, the survey team also found a layer of water in the rocks below the peninsula. This is real mineral water, although the amount of water is not very large, but it is enough for Zhou Nan and Stolko to use their domestic water.
Of course, the Hilton Hotel couldn't supply it, so they had to honestly pick up the water pipes from the town. But every morning they would send someone to the farm to pull two truckloads of mineral water for the hotel's guests to drink, and it even became a selling point for their hotel promotion.
Seeing Audrey deflated in front of Sergi, Zhou Nan was actually a little happy. He didn't want Audrey to like Sergi too much, for fear that her plaything would lose her mind.
Now she still needs to enrich herself.
There is poetry and books in her belly, and Audrey is still a little far from this realm!
The two men went back to the stable, fed Albert and Sergi two carrots and two apples each, and got acquainted with them so that they remembered their smell.
In addition, neither Glevin nor any other breeder could feed them these two horses' favorite fruits. There is also chocolate, which can only be fed by Zhou Nan and Audrey, which is also to train them to remember the two masters.
On the contrary, washing the horses and being a shovel officer, these jobs do not necessarily need to be done by the owner himself, and Zhou Nan and Audrey do not have this time.
"Jonas, Minister Hlein is here with a guest......"
(I finally made it back, but I suddenly realized that the monthly pass was almost 1,000 votes, and I had to add it again)
