Chapter 253: Brushing Horses
Syllable!
The plastic basin was knocked on the horse's head in Chiyan Mountain, and the basin that was originally like a disc immediately had depth, and the folded plastic basin was very suitable for carrying, and it was more suitable for a small ranch like Zhang Chi Ranch, a small ranch without special horse washing equipment and a few horses.
As soon as the basin arrived, Zhang Chi found that a hand was stretched out.
"Let go!"
Hearing Merica's coquettish voice in his ears, Zhang Chi immediately let go of his hand.
I watched my daughter-in-law hold her own basin, bend down and scoop water and rush it to the Arab body in front of her.
Zhang Chi turned his head and saw that Chiyanshan was staring at him with a pair of big eyes, as if there was a little disdain in his eyes, a little bit of mockery.
"What do you see, I haven't seen anyone who feels sorry for my daughter-in-law" Zhang Chi rushed to the fattest place on Chiyan Mountain's buttocks, raised his legs, and rubbed lightly on its buttocks.
Chiyan Mountain flicked his tail, not feeling pain at all, and continued to stir the river with bubbles all over his body.
Zhang Chi stood in the water, crossed his waist and looked around, his own ranch was quiet, and occasionally there were one or two bird cries in his ears.
may feel that Zhang Chi's ears are too enjoyable, just when Zhang Chi was thinking about whether he should respond to a shadow, he recited an ancient poem to fill the façade, so that his new daughter-in-law who had just married into the door felt that he still had a little ink in his stomach.
But after racking his brains, he didn't think of any ancient poems suitable for his own pasture, and finally came up with a sentence: Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.
It doesn't seem to be very suitable, I have good mountains, good rivers and good scenery, and I am far away from what is absolutely and extinction.
Even if you want to destroy something or something, can you solve your neighbors first?
Directly on Lei Zhangchi I like it, the sound is so loud that the whole Amber can hear it, and he killed Lao Liu's dog thing.
Just when Zhang Chi was searching his stomach and wanted to drag a few sentences, a big finch flew over Zhang Chi's head.
Wail! Wail! Wail!
This voice screamed a little worse than the pig when Zhang Chi killed the pig.
When I looked up, I saw that this guy was quite big, almost the size of a wild duck, and he knew that he was not a good bird at a glance.
Do good birds eat so fat?!
Zhang Chi wanted to pull out his shotgun from the gourd, but now that his daughter-in-law was present, if he pulled out the gun, instead of telling his daughter-in-law his secret, he would have to think about killing people and changing himself to a new daughter-in-law.
Now this daughter-in-law is good, mainly because she looks pleasing to the eye and gets along happily, so Zhang Chi held down the thought of smoking the gun, and looked at the fat bird in the sky with hateful teeth.
"What are you looking at?"
Merika washed away the bubbles on her mount at this time, saw Zhang Chi in a daze, shouted, and threw the basin in front of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi came back to his senses and saw that the basin wanted to go downstream, so he immediately raised his foot and stepped on it, and then bent down and carried it in his hand.
"Water scraping!"
Merica said.
Zhang Chi then went to the shore again and scraped the water to Merika and handed it over.
There was a basin in his hand, and he scooped up a basin of water, first rushing on the back of Chiyan Mountain, then rushing his tail, and finally the head of Chiyan Mountain.
Pay attention when rushing the horse's head, you can't just stiffen it like rushing back, because this guy from Chiyan Mountain doesn't know how to close his eyes, and the foam is likely to hurt his eyes, so he has to be careful when rushing his head.
Fortunately, Chiyan Mountain's temper was better, and as soon as Zhang Chi grabbed its side reins, it didn't move, allowing Zhang Chi to rinse its brain shell.
After rinsing, Chiyan Mountain immediately became much more beautiful, the red fur became more and more bright, and the white fur was as white as white feathers.
"Young man, I'm more energetic now."
Zhang Chi patted Chi Yanshan's side cheek with satisfaction and praised it.
Wow!
Chiyan Mountain seemed to know that his master praised him, raised his head and shook his head, and after letting out a long hiss, he grinned and held his head high, shaking his head and shaking his tail very happily.
"Okay, be humble as a horse, you look at me, I have always kept the word modesty in my heart and regarded it as my criterion for being a man" Zhang Chi said with a smile while stroking Chiyan Mountain.
Merika, who was shaving her own horse next to her, couldn't listen to it anymore, and laughed after a snort: "You are really good enough, even your own horse is cheated!" ”
"I don't like to hear what you say, what am I lying to it about" Zhang Chi continued to stroke the mane on Chiyan Mountain's neck.
After brushing it twice, I felt that the mane of Red Flame Mountain was a little long.
Thinking that the mane hadn't been cut for a while, Zhang Chi thought of the horse's hooves again along with this, so he bent down and grabbed the front hooves of Chiyan Mountain and looked at its forepaws.
"It's time to repair the hooves of Chiyan Mountain, wait for two days to make an appointment with the hoof master to come over, and repair the horse's hooves at home," Zhang Chi looked at the horse's hooves in Chiyan Mountain and said.
The horse's hooves are a little long, the original shoes in the palm are a little small, Zhang Chi does not ride horses much, and the wear and tear of all the horse's hooves is not large.
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Merika also bent down to look at the farrier of her mount, so she said: "That's called, just repair my horse too, although it doesn't grow much, but if you want to repair the hoof in the future, you will repair it together."
Zhang Chi hummed and said he knew: "Wait until you go back and remind me, or I will forget."
At this moment, Merica had almost scraped the water on Arabia's body, led Arabia to go ashore, and handed the water scraper into Zhang Chi's hands when she passed by Zhang Chi.
After taking the water scraper handed over by his daughter-in-law, Zhang Chi began to scrape the water for Chiyan Mountain, starting from the neck, and gently scraping out the water hidden in the horsehair.
Although the weather is not cold now, it is not too hot, and the horse is still easy to catch a cold if it is wet, so you have to scrape the water on the horse's body, and as for wiping it with a dry towel, now you don't have to do it at this time, just dry it in the sun.
Merika also considered the problem of horses at the moment, and said to Zhang Chi: "This time, the stable should be specially built, and the place separated from the cowshed is a bit too small, and it is impossible to rush a horse."
"Okay, then let's build one, it won't take much trouble anyway" Zhang Chi nodded and agreed.
Building a stable is not a house, there are many requirements, and there are still some water and electricity to go, the stable and the cowshed are simple, in fact, it is a shelf, and the surrounding is sealed with wooden boards.
If you encounter any tornadoes and other extreme weather in the Great Plains, so build stables and cowsheds, then the insurance company will have to jump feet, but in the mountains, it is not a big problem, not that there is no such extreme weather, but there are trees and mountains all around, and tornadoes here can not make any big storms, ordinary wooden houses, at most add an iron frame.
As for the things that wash the horse, it is easier, there is a small horse washing trough that is specially sold, this thing is like a table, there is a trough under the table to receive water, and there is an iron net above, when the horse goes up to the next station, the water of the horse falls into the sham, as for the washing machine, it is simpler.
Have you ever seen the kind of small water wheel that rushes the road in China? Such a thing can solve the problem of washing horses, of course, it is impossible to use such a strong water pressure, anyway, as long as the stable is available, these small equipment are simple.
The bulk of the money is spent on the stables, not on these machines.
"It just so happens that pigs and sheep can also be kept in the stables together," Zhang Chi said.
Merica didn't object, it was normal for her.
You may think that pigs are dirty or something, but in fact, pigs love to be clean, and if you make it addicted to bathing, this thing still loves to bathe.
Anyway, Zhang Chi's pigs are quite clean so far.
Of course, it may also be that Cannon takes care of it well, if Zhang Chi is allowed to raise it for a few days, it is estimated that the pigs in the pasture can roll in pig.
That's where a good cowboy comes in.
Thinking of something, Merica said to Zhang Chi: "Brian won't go to the ranch over there in the future, just here, almost all the work at home is done by Cannon alone, and he may not be busy in the winter."
Zhang Chi has no opinion on this, he used to send Brian to be afraid that Merica would cheat him out of his money, but now, even if Merica wants to cheat, it is estimated that he will not cheat himself out of a ton of grass, so Merica is so kind, how many bundles of grass do she hide after marriage? Those washing women in China are probably not eye-catching, let alone Merica.
"Okay! Anyway, there will be a dormitory soon, so Brian will stay" Zhang Chi nodded in agreement.
After scraping the water, Zhang Chi took Chiyan Mountain ashore, this guy may have had fun, but he was a little reluctant, he earned the reins twice, and saw that Zhang Chi did not mean to let go, so he honestly followed the master to the shore.
After going ashore, Chiyan Mountain's attention was fascinated by the food, and he lowered his head and nibbled on the grass.
Merica looked at the saddle on the ground and said, "What about these?" ”
A horse that has just been washed, and then a saddle or something is put on its back, isn't that a vain wash?
"I'll drive three wheels over and pull them back later, and now we'll just lead the horses back," Zhang Chi said.
The place where the horses were washed was not too far from the house and the stables, and it took about five or six minutes to walk, and the two of them were on a walk.
Hearing this, Merika nodded and sat on the grass, drying her little feet.
Zhang Chi also went to Merika's side and sat down, but he quickly sat down, plucked a grass stalk and put it in his mouth, crossed his legs, held his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky.
Merika saw Zhang Chi's little toes moving, and the whole person looked very leisurely, so she also followed Zhang Chi's example and lay down on the grass and looked up at the sky.
The sky is blue, I can't tell what it feels like, I just feel that the sky is so high, it looks so far away.
"The sky is so beautiful here," Merica said.
Zhang Chi snorted.
He also thinks the sky is beautiful, but even if there is such a sky elsewhere, how many people have time to appreciate it.
It seems that he must have been unavailable before, and at the end of the day, he is not on the way to deliver takeaways, even if he can enjoy the wonderful sky when he looks up, he is not in the mood to appreciate it, even if he looks up, he may not have such a leisurely mood as now.
