Section 72 Buying a Horse
Feng Xiaobao stayed in the princess's mansion for a day, and then ran back to the small village outside the city, and together with Tang Tian, went to the horse market in the west of the city to look for good horses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The horse market is crowded, the neighing of horses and the sound of people, and the horses galloping back and forth, which makes people's blood boil.
There is not only a horse market here, but also cattle, sheep and pigs, and business is booming.
The horse farm is divided into a fence, in which the horses are led, and the horses in the middle are crossed, and the horses you like can go to the circular horse training ground for training and test riding.
The purchase and sales on the horse farm are booming, and the number of slaughters is very large.
Its management is very perfect, and the Horse Market Municipality has specially assigned a group of well-dressed errand officers to patrol around, and inspect the old, weak, sick and disabled horses immediately to avoid horse plague.
Tang Tian still covered her face, and led Xiaobao all the way through the crowd to a large fence, where a group of people and three or four guests gathered, and she nodded to a short man: "Sixth uncle!" ”
"Oh, it's Britney!" Sixth Uncle Tang stepped forward.
He called it like this, which made Feng Xiaobao can't help but laugh, and Tang Tian looked helpless.
Listening to Tang Tian: "Sixth uncle, I brought a good friend to buy a horse!" He's Feng Dalang! Xiaobao, called Uncle Six! ”
"Hello Uncle Six!" "Hello Feng Dalang!"
Everyone exchanged a few words, Sixth Uncle Tang was short and small-eyed, but the cold light in his eyes was compelling, he looked at Feng Xiaobao's physique, and said with a smile on his face: "There is just a batch of new horses arriving, let Sixth Uncle lead you to have a look!" ”
There are two types of horses in the Tang family, one is the horses from the Western Regions, such as the Akhal-Tejin horse from Turkmenistan in the future, which was called "sweat and blood" horse in ancient times, and can also be called Dawan horse, a good horse of the first class. Then there are some Arab horses raised by Bedouins in the Middle East, which are more delicate and fast; The other major category is the Mongolian horse. In the impression of many people, it is synonymous with shortness, endurance, and resistance to rough feeding, but it is a good consumable for use in battle, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will adopt two or three horses to go out together whenever possible.
Since he is Tang Tian's "good friend", Uncle Tang Liu immediately saw the real chapter and called someone to bring a Dawan horse!
I can only see it, the whole body is snow-white without a single miscellaneous hair, the majestic horse is like a dragon, like "shining on the night white", the end is loved by everyone, and the car is seen by the car.
But Xiaobao shook his head, it was not suitable for him!
Not anyone can ride this kind of horse, if Feng Xiaobao is a grandfather of the country, riding it to swagger through the market will make people praise them for being a good match.
As for Feng Xiaobao, his status is not high, so he can't fight with people all day long.
To be a man, you have to know how to measure, how big a head is and how big a hat to wear, and this kind of good horse is expensive, and the cost of raising it is also high.
What's right for you is right!
Seeing that Feng Xiaobao was not greedy or possessive, Uncle Tang showed a look of appreciation, and then asked people to pull out six horses, with a variety of colors, including jujube red horses, Suyue horses (white horses and black hooves), gray horses, flower hair horses, green horses and black horses, all of which are good breeds of horses, and the price is at a medium level.
He introduced them one by one, talked about their bloodlines and advantages, and said that when Feng Xiaobao was treated as a nephew, it was equivalent to teaching him.
In the end, Feng Xiaobao bought a flowery horse for 300 yuan!
The shoulder and sides of the horse's body are covered with 3 different colors, like a beautifully designed quilt sewn from rags, and there is a red dot between the eyes on the horse's forehead, which Xiaobao named "a star".
The stamina is good, the speed is outstanding, and its actual price is worth at least 500 yuan!
The four of them pulled it down the horse farm, and Feng Xiaobao said "horse talk" to it and greeted it.
"Horse talk" is a low grunt, as if by magic on the horse, to silence it completely, each time for a moment, this sound is a bit like the sound of "Huo ---- Huo", coming from the depths of the chest, the horse gradually quiets down, the others tense the rope for a few seconds, and the horse stays like this, staring at the approacher.
Feng Xiaobao approached it slowly, slowly reached out and stroked its horse's head, and held a slap of fried soybeans to feed it.
Smelling the aroma and saltiness, it eats it.
A good start is a guarantee of success, stroking the horse slowly, then jumping up from the kneeling groom's back and jumping onto the horse's back!
A star was slightly in a commotion, but after touching Feng Xiaobao's forehead again, it quieted down, and then it began to trot, light and agile, and even quickly understood some of Feng Xiaobao's simple command orders.
"This horse is so spiritual!" Feng Xiaobao was full of praise after getting off the saddle and thanked Uncle Tang Liu.
"It's your luck to find a good horse, congratulations!" Sixth Uncle Tang was also happy for him.
Feng Xiaobao gets the second horse!
Uncle Tang was very kind-hearted and asked, "A good horse must be able to raise, do you have a good groom at home?" ”
"Nope!"
So Uncle Tang Liu shouted: "Little Sixth Tang! ”
"Hey!" A tall, thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old ran out of the crowd, and his voice was not similar to that of Han, and his appearance was similar to that of a Hu man.
"Uncle Six, how embarrassed to pinch it!" Tang Tian said hurriedly, Feng Xiaobao didn't understand what was going on.
Sixth Uncle Tang instructed the young man: "In the future, you will follow Feng Dalang!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Liutang bowed his head and said.
"Oh no!" Tang Tian objected, but Sixth Uncle Tang waved his hand and said, "Listen to Sixth Uncle's words, it's decided." ”
It turns out that it is a horseman who sells horses and gives them to a groom, good horses are not easy to find, good horses are not easy to find, good horses are not good to raise, and good grooms can ensure that horses do not drop in price.
This Sixth Uncle Tang is a big majia, and the groom sent out should not be much worse, Feng Xiaobao first shirked, and then happily accepted it.
It is indeed a good groom, according to Tang Tian, the Tang family is ranked, for example, Tang Liuye, his groom is called Xiao Liu, and then add a Tang character, it is a first-class groom, if Tang Qiye's personal groom is called Xiao Qi Tang, and so on, if it is Xiao Liu Tang, it is called Lao Liutang.
"And what's your groom's name?"
"I'm eleven, and the groom is called Little Eleven Tang!"
"Well, that's what it's called."
The Tang family started with a bow horse, and without a horse, there would be nothing, so the groom got the honorific title of the word "Tang".
These horsemen are all subordinates of the Tang family, and their personal rights are controlled by the Tang family, so Tang Liuye was able to transfer him to Feng Xiaobao.
Unexpectedly, the young Xiaoliu Tang is not very old, and he can get this name, and his kung fu in raising horses should be no worse.
Tang Tian said that the sixth Tang before Tang Liuye had been promoted to the manager of the racecourse, so he only found Xiao Liutang a year ago, but he didn't expect it to change hands so soon.
On the way back, Tang Tian said that their Tang family slaughtered more than 5,000 horses a year, and if the average price was 50 yuan, it would be a big business of more than 250,000 yuan.
"If you need it again in the future, you can ask Uncle Tang for a horse!" Tang Tian showed him the way, and he would be able to find Uncle Tang directly if he needed it in the future.
"Yay!"
……
rode a star back to the small village outside the city, washed it, fed it, etc., and did it seriously, Tang Tian helped him with a skillful technique, obviously Bai Fumei is also an expert in horse breeding.
"You're familiar with raising horses." Feng Xiaobao asked.
"Of course, archers and horsemen are not separated, they can't raise horses, and they can't shoot arrows if they don't understand horse nature!" Tang Tian replied.
"Archers... Can you teach me how to bow when you have time? Feng Xiaobao hit the snake and went up with the stick.
"Okay!" Tang Tian said heartily.
