Chapter 151: Gifts and Gifts
Early in the morning, Xiang Youbao had already drawn a bucket of warm well water from the sweet well behind Chaotian's house, and then poured into the well water for half a tael of the cattle lice medicine that had been prepared for a long time, carefully mixed it, and watched the clear well water slowly turn a little yellow, and then carried the well water towards the fence where the bullock was kept.
According to the saying that the bullfighting is served in the main gate of the fire, the bullfighting has three fears!
I'm afraid of bovine plague!
Regardless of how strong the body is and how thick the pimples are in the bullfight, as long as it is stained with rinderpest, it will have a runny nose and a black tongue within three days. First of all, he didn't eat forage and bait, and then he couldn't stand on his stakes because his legs and feet were weak. Even if you hurry to find a master veterinarian to pick it up, I am afraid that the fierceness and fighting spirit of this bullfight have been completely lost. Even if you pull the cart and plow the land, you can only barely make up the number, and most of them have to be sent to the soup pot to be stabbed!
Second, I'm afraid of cow blockage!
However, even if they are fed carefully, they can't keep the good grass in the big animals such as cattle and horses, even if they are fed carefully, and they can not keep a few old grass roots mixed in, even if the cows have four stomachs, they can't bear it. After accumulating over time, I don't know which day, looking at a good bullfight, I can get on all fours, kneel on the ground, and hold back to the sky.
At this fateful juncture, the only way is to find a fierce laxative to pour into the cow, and then reach out and slowly beat it from the cow dung door, so that it is possible to toss the dung ball formed by the grass roots out of the cow's belly, which can barely survive the life of a big animal.
But ordinary big animals can be cleaned up like this, but bullfighting can't stand the laxative. The bullfighting that snatched back his life with this method has to go through a year and a half of training and service, so that he can barely raise back the seventy percent fierceness of the year. Counting the hard work spent, it's better to start from scratch and retrain a bullfighting bull!
Three are afraid of cow lice!
According to common sense, it is not uncommon for large animals to have a few lice on their bodies. But if there are lice on the bull's body, it is easy to sting and bite the bull from time to time to shake the flesh, and naturally it will lose three points of strength. Second, it will also make the bullfighting easy to be frightened, and they will not dare to use all their strength in the bullring.
If you want to say that the cow has plague or blocked the intestines, these troubles are easy to deal with, just spend a little more effort when feeding and training the bullfighting, and you can naturally avoid these troubles.
But the fact that cows have lice has always been a headache. After all, big animals such as cattle and horses wander around in the wild every day, wandering around in the grass, maybe the fur that has just been combed with the grate can bring cow lice again with a turn of effort!
I don't know what life it started from, there is a good hand at training bullfighting in the main gate of the fire, and inadvertently found a herb in the mountains, and brushed it on the bullfighting body to get rid of the cow lice.
It can only be said that the old saying 'people are selfish, nothing can be done' is right, this herb that can be used with gadlice medicine has been improved by the good hand in the main gate of the fire, and it was originally a good prescription that can be effective for half a year after brushing it once. couldn't stand the idea of 'one trick fresh, eat all over the world' in the heart of this Huo Zhengmen master, so he withheld the prescription for dispensing medicine in his own hands. Even if the master who was waiting for the bullfighting in the main gate of the fire came to ask for some medicine, it would be a sky-high price with his mouth open, and no one would have any favor to talk about!
It has to be said that the good hand who withheld the secret recipe of the cow lice medicine should not have such a chance to make a windfall in his life, so he earned a small amount of money by relying on the secret recipe of the cow lice medicine. When I saw it the next morning, my body was frozen and condensed with the ice lumps in the ditch, and I was so stunned that I took a pickaxe and dug it out before I was buried!
Death is like a lamp going out, and everything in the world is resting. This Huo Zhengmen expert has come to a hundred, but the secret recipe for gadlice medicine in his hand has been lost since then. There are those bullfighting experts who have spent a lot of money to buy cattle lice medicine, and they tried their best to use the only remaining cattle lice medicine to repeatedly ponder and compare, and finally barely came up with a cow lice medicine with similar efficacy, but it can only work for a day or two at most, and it no longer has the miraculous effect when the cattle lice medicine was first formed
Only then did he walk to the fence where the bullfighting was closed, and the old man Lu, who also got up early in the morning, had already bowed his head towards Xiang Youbao and smiled: "Xiangye, you really got up early!" With so much effort in serving things, it can be seen that this bull will definitely allow you to train it! ”
Hurriedly put down the bucket in his hand, and Xiang Youbao also hugged his fist towards Lu Lao's head: "Lu Lao's head, are you up early?" Let me ask you more here, is your young master's injury good? ”
Brushing his beard under his chin, Lu Lao raised his head and pointed in the direction of Beiping City: "The boys in the camel line rushed early in the morning, and sent my son to the city for treatment in the dark!" It's a lot of thanks to your good pill, or else"
Looking at the old man Lu with a worried look in some surprise, Xiang Youbao asked in surprise: "Your young master went to Beiping City to treat his injuries, so why didn't you follow to take a look?" Anyway, if you look at this, you can rest assured, right? ”
Stretching out his hand and patting the sturdy wooden stakes on the fence beside him, the old man shook his head: "The rules in the camel shop, before the livestock and leather goods entrusted by the master's family are delivered, the head of the camel shop can't leave the scene." My caravan arrived in Changping yesterday, and even if my son was not injured yesterday, I am afraid that the news will have to be sent to the heads of households during the day today. When the settlement is clear, it will be three or five days later. That's just right, can't I still accompany you to serve this thing? I can't help it, but I can do it and pick up some pieces, and my old man can still help? ”
He bowed to the old man and bowed, and said respectfully: "I really don't dare to take this seriously!" We are grateful that you can help us support this scene of training bullfighting. If you dare to pick up the bits and pieces again, not to mention what others will say, even the elders in my fire gate will have to teach me that I don't understand the rules and don't know how to be respectful, right? ”
Haha laughed, the old man replied very disappretently: "Xiangye, you are polite!" The camel handle style has always been a bitter haha of trying to eat, how can there be so many generations to pay attention to? Come on, if you have anything to call, just tell me, and I'll let those guys under my hands help you! ”
After thanking the old man again, Xiang Youbao walked into the fence with the bucket of well water mixed with cow lice medicine, and slowly came to the side of the bullock, and first reached out and picked up some potion and sprinkled it on the nose of the bullock.
The huge nostrils twitched violently, and the bullock suddenly called the smell of the potion excited, and immediately pricked up its ears and let out a dull cow roar. Perhaps sensing that the smell of the potion was not so pungent, the bull hung his head in disregard and looked at the grass piled up like a hill outside the fence with some greed.
took out a small packet of fried black bean noodles from his pocket, and Xiang Youbao did not shy away from the old man Lu who was standing outside the fence to watch, reached out and put the bag of black bean noodles into the mouth of the bully, pursed his lips and made a series of low whistles, inducing the bully to turn his head slowly, stretching his neck to lick the fried black bean noodles.
With a small bench stake under his feet, Xiang Youbao slowly moved his slap holding the black bean noodles, teasing the bully to move around his body, while the other hand grabbed the bristle brush soaked in the bucket and brushed it evenly on the bullock's fur.
Standing outside the fence and watching the movements of the leopard, Lu Lao twisted his head and stroked his beard, and couldn't help but nod.
Although there are rules for a line of a line, and there are doorways for each road, in the craftsmanship of the camel line, there is also the craft of washing the body of the bullock and the horse. Especially those who have not yet had time to domesticate the rhino and horses, when washing their bodies for the first few times, it is really a thankless errand - if they are not careful, those undomesticated rhinos and horses will run away, and sometimes they will even kick at the camel handle that washes their bodies, and even open their mouths to bite birds!
There is really no way to have the camel handle that has just started, and when washing the body of those undomesticated cattle and horses, you can only think of tying the four hooves of the bullock and horses to the stake, so that you can tremble and hold a long-handled brush and wash the bodies of those cattle and horses from afar. Regardless of the stinky sweat that came out of his exhaustion, it is estimated that the bullock and horse have not been carefully washed and cleaned. After a day's effort, you can almost serve three or five bullocks and horses, which is the number of the sky.
But to meet the year-old camel dealer who has been in the camel industry for many years, it is completely different!
There is no need to tie hooves, let alone ropes, the camel handle style has always been a pig's bristle brush under the armpit, carrying a bucket of half-lukewarm well water in his hand, humming a small tune to the snorting, hoofing next to the bullock, horse, first raised his hand to the eyes of the vigilant bullock, the horse smeared a handful of green salt!
Cows, horses, sheep and other animals almost like the taste of salt. Fiercely staring at people to bring the taste they like to their mouths, they naturally stick out their tongues and lick them.
Taking advantage of the efforts of the bullock and the horse sticking out their tongues to lick the salt, the camel line of the year immediately grabbed the bristle brush and dipped it in the well water, and raised his hand to brush the body of the bullock and the horse, but the soles of the feet were gently kicking the hooves of the bullock and the horse.
It's strange to say, the bulls and horses that are very unruly on weekdays, just because of the kicking and kicking on the hooves of the year-old camel handle, they actually fell to the ground and stumbled up, obediently following the bristle brush that the year-old camel line brushed the body in a circle?
Waiting for the old camel to wash the bullock and the horse cleanly, and not waiting for the old camel to clean up the bucket and brush, the old ox and the horse, who were still honest and tame like obedient children, suddenly neighed, stretched their hooves and ran away for a smoke
I have seen a lot of scenes of camel rows washing cattle and horses for many years, and my heart is more or less lively, and I can see some roads over the years-whenever cows and horses walk, they are always two legs almost moving together. As long as you can grasp the difference between these two legs and make a stumbling block on the leg that moves a little back, the bullock and the horse will naturally not be able to exert their strength, and can only obediently listen to the manipulation of the camel line step by step!
But even if you can see the number of roads here, if you haven't worked hard in the camel shop for seven or eight years, you can't hold that knot yet, right?
In some camel rows, there are not enough people when they walk long distances, and when they make moves, they take the work of washing the bodies of the bulls and horses to the school style. It is naturally not necessary to say that it is easy to win this job alone, if it is not grasped
The head of the camel line didn't say anything, and the words were all polite, only saying that he would go home and listen to the letter, and there would be a reply three days before he went on the road. But on the day of the caravan's departure, the camel walker who was waiting for the letter at home did not see a person who replied to the letter, so he knew it. This bit of his own skill is not yet in the eyes of others, and he has to practice for a few more years!
Although the technique of washing the bulls and horses in the camel row and the craftsmanship of serving the bullfighting in the main gate of the fire have their own merits, but in their bones they have mastered the temperament of cattle and horses, plus more watching, more practice, and more pondering, which can take care of those wild and untamable big animals.
Just look at the power frame that Xiang Youbao stepped on under his feet when he washed this bullfighting bull, and then look at the traces of potion brushed on this bull one by one, you don't have to be an expert like Lu Lao Laotou, even if it is a foreign path, you have to taste this craft to be practiced for many years!
Quietly waiting for Xiang Youbao to brush the gadlice medicine on the bull's body, and then fed the black bean noodles that had been teasing the bull for a long time to the bull's mouth, Lu Lao turned his head and smiled at Xiang Youleopard, who walked out of the fence with a bucket: "Xiangye, I'll ask a little more here-the potion you brushed on the bullfighting bull here, is it a cow lice prevention thing?" ”
Looking down at the little potion left in the bucket, Xiang Youbao generously held the bucket in front of the old man Lu: "Why don't you say that ginger is old and spicy?" With such an eye-catching effort, I guess you can see through all the things I played with you, don't you? That's right, this is the cow lice medicine that was passed down from my predecessors in the main gate of the fire. I won't hide it from you here, I heard the elders in the door say that when this prescription is still complete, it can be used for half a year after brushing it. But now the recipe is broken, and it can only last a day if you brush it once! ”
didn't talk to Xiang Youleopard much politely, Lu Lao reached out and dipped some gadlice potion in the bucket to the end of his nose and smelled it, and then twisted his fingers to look at the color of the potion, and then said to Xiang Youbao: "Xiangye, I want to say something I don't know the depth of the words - in your cow lice medicine, do you use a grass head chrysanthemum?" ”
As soon as I heard that Lu Lao reported the name of the medicine of the grass head chrysanthemum, Xiang Youbao suddenly gave Lu Lao a thumbs up: "Lu Lao boss, you really don't have to say anything about your eyesight - that's right, the medicine in the cow lice medicine is the grass head chrysanthemum!" ”
As if suddenly realized, Lu Lao turned his head and said in a harmonious voice: "In our camel shop, there is also this medicine to get rid of cattle lice, and the left is just yellow vine branches, spicy leaves, tiger grass and a few herbs that pick these flavors." If this grass chrysanthemum is also mixed in, I don't know if it will be better? ”
His eyes lit up, and Xiang Youbao suddenly nodded again and again: "Thank you for your advice!" When it's time for bullfighting, I'll definitely go back and try this recipe you said to get rid of cow lice! If it works, then I'll have to come to thank you! ”
Haha smiled, but the old man Lu waved his hand again and again: "Xiangye, I'm also old, my mouth is broken, by the way, even if this recipe really works, I don't deserve a thank you word!" ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Xiang Youbao suddenly understood the meaning of Old Lu's words!
There are 360 lines in the world, and every line has a craft that can stand out, but there are also some rules that are passed on to sons-in-law, and not to be passed on to outsiders. If you really want to pass on the unique work and secret recipes in the industry to outsiders, to put it simply, you have to open the incense hall and worship the ancestor to teach, and if you are troublesome, then you have to nod your head after the public discussion of the famous and surnamed characters in the industry!
It seems that Lu Lao told himself the prescription for removing cattle lice in the camel line, if he really talks about the joints, it must be regarded as a sin of private teaching, maybe in the camel line, he will have to ask someone to point and poke the backbone!
In this case, it is better to smile and keep this favor in mind!
Putting down the bucket he was holding in his hand, he bowed to the old man Lu in a regular manner: "Old man Lu, I remember this response to the main gate of our fire!" When this matter is all over in front of the main gate of the fire, you must bring your young master to my main gate of the fire. First, I will recognize the door, and second, I will also let my uncle Na Jiuye have a good chat with you! In the future, our two families will definitely be a fate that often comes and goes! ”
Sideways to accept the half-salute of the leopard, the old man Lu smiled very boldly: "I don't have to say this!" Let's go, I'm afraid that the porridge in Chaotian's room is boiled well, and drinking a bowl of hot porridge on this cold day can also warm up your body! What about your companions? Also called together? ”
Bowing down to let the old man walk in front, Xiang Youbao lowered his voice and smiled: "Yesterday, the one in my main gate of fire was the one with stealth skills on his body, didn't he borrow a leg from you?" I have already rushed back to Sijiu City overnight to do errands, and the piggyback took away my little junior brother! ”
"And what about another gentleman?"
"It's also a very early morning, and I guess it's almost under the city gate at this time, right?" (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
