Chapter 8: Horse Selection (1)
Cao Yaode couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this? Isn't it too late to tame?"
Fang Ling didn't answer directly, but asked, "I wonder if Uncle Cao has noticed that this wild horse is a little unsociable?"
Cao Yaode nodded and said, "That's true, when a few horses are put together, the other five are always together, but this horse is always on the periphery." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "The Northern Horse is just a general term for the horse breeds living in the North, but the Northern Horses in different regions have different temperaments, physique and the like, the few Northern Horses that Uncle Cao bought, the one tamed by Brother Lu today is the Northern Horse of our country, and the other five are the Northern Horses of Cai State." ”
Cao Yaode suddenly realized when he heard this, and his eyes fell on a few horses and said: "This looks like a breed, but I didn't expect it to be Cai Guo's horse, so it's strange that it has to be together, so what's the difference between these two horses?"
Fang Ling said: "Both kinds of horses are short-tempered and not easy to tame, but China's northern horses are more docile in comparison, and they can quickly obey the master's orders after taming, but Cai's northern horses are very stubborn, especially wild horses, even if they are tamed, it takes a long time to ride and train to be able to obey the master's orders." If you take them to the game, I'm afraid that you won't know what trouble will happen halfway. ”
Cao Yaode could hear it in a cold sweat and said, "Fortunately, Fang Gongzi reminded me that if something really happened in the county government, it would be a terrible thing." ”
Cao Xiande was worried: "Big brother, if there is only one horse to participate, then I am afraid we will lose again this year." ”
Cao Yaode also sighed and said, "This is really a good thing. ”
Cao Zhigong said on the side: "Dad, since Fang Gongzi knows the art of horses so well, while there is still time, we can go to the horse market and buy a few more northern horses of our country to come back." ”
Saying this, Cao Yaode and the others immediately became happy, so they invited Fang Ling and the three of them to go to the horse market to buy horses together.
Fang Ling and the three of them followed behind Cao Yaode's carriage in a carriage, and there were only Song Ying'er and Lu Bei in the carriage, so Lu Bei asked, "Young master, do you really want to help them pick a good horse?"
Fang Ling nodded and said: "It's rare to have a chance to go to the county guard's mansion, if you want to get in touch with Jiang Wenshan, you have to have the capital to impress him, today you have to not only pick a good horse, but also pick a good horse." ”
Lu Bei frowned and said, "But in this way, let them take these good horses to breed, won't it be cheaper for them?"
Song Ying'er sneered on the side and said: "Brother Lu, this cultivation is not a matter of one or two days, there are not a few good horses of all kinds selected in Maling County in the past three years, but it took three years, and it is only the first generation of excellent horse breeds." ”
Fang Ling also smiled: "Ying'er is right, Brother Lu doesn't have to worry about this matter, if he loses this opportunity, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work to try to contact Jiang Wenshan head-on." ”
The three of them did not talk for long, and the carriage had already arrived at the horse market in the north of the city, where horse sheds were built, each horse shed could accommodate a dozen or twenty horses, and the horse dealers stood outside the horse barn to introduce the horses in their hands to the passing merchants.
