Chapter 81: Big Dark Horse Black Beans
Jian Heng was a little dumbfounded, and after sliding past the horses he wanted in three batches in a row, he couldn't help but scold.
"You're so sick!"
Fortunately, Jian Heng's side uses Chinese, whether it is barley, wheat, or old Lynch next to him, he can't understand what Jian Heng is scolding, of course, people can also hear Jian Heng's dissatisfaction from the tone.
Jian Heng had no way not to scold, the two people who started to grab horses with Jian Heng again and again, and repeatedly intercepted Jian Heng's beard, if he could be happy, it would be a ghost.
Old Lynch's eyes also widened at this time, and after thinking for a while, he immediately took out his mobile phone and began to dial the phone.
"Cole, aren't you going to sell horses? There are two people buying horses on Mario's side, which is especially incomprehensible......! The old man made several phone calls in a row, informing his good friend of the news of today's auction, and asked others to send the horses with a normal physique to try out if they wanted to sell them.
Not to mention that it is in the eyes of the old cowboys, even in the eyes of Jian Heng, these two people are also a big fool, they were originally ordinary ranch horses, why rob them!
If you want to charter a field, what are you doing with this kind of small shooting, go directly to a professional horse farm, there are many such horses, as long as you pay for it, there is no problem at all in the United States to make up four or five hundred thousand horses of this level!
Jian Heng was very angry, the consequences? It's not serious at all!
Jian Heng wouldn't be as stupid as the two of them, with the price they paid for this kind of horse, Jian Heng knew that each horse would add a maximum of fifty or sixty dollars, and his side would definitely have a better choice.
There were two stupid hats entering the market, and Jian Heng had to put his requirements for horses higher, originally preparing to enter twelve or thirteen horses for six thousand dollars, but now it seems that the plan cannot catch up with the changes.
When a new batch of horses came in, Jian Heng waited for the two to finish grabbing, and then stretched out his hand and asked for two of the quart horses, one of the sorrel-colored cheating horses and the other of the chestnut-colored mares.
Raising his hand, Jian Heng waited for anyone to follow the price, these two horses looked good, slightly higher than the previous target, and they could also be trained, of course, the starting price was also very good, four hundred and fifty dollars for one horse, and five hundred dollars for one horse.
At this time, Jian Heng behaved very calmly, if someone bid, he would not want it, not only would he not want it anymore, but he would not stay anymore, with this price, Jian Heng was ready to contact a few small horse farms directly and let them deliver them to their doors, why bother running here against the sun and finally having to find a car to transport it home.
The auctioneer asked three times in his throat, and finally Jian Heng paid at the reserve price.
Old Lynch saw that Jian Heng's face was a little lighter, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Henry, do you need veterinary services?" Find me if you need to".
"I really need it!" Jian Heng looked at the newly entered horses in the field, and said to Old Lynch without looking back: "I have some cattle and sheep over there, and now there are two horses, you see how much it costs."
Now that Old Lynch opened his mouth, Jian Heng also wanted to simply take one more insurance, most of the American cowboys are quite simple, but as the old saying goes, rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and cowboys are generally trustworthy and can't be applied to every monomer. So the necessary quarantine still needs to be had.
"Old friend, give you this price!" Old Lynch stretched out a few fingers and gestured to Jian Heng.
The price was not high, Jian Heng didn't think about it, and nodded directly and agreed.
Lynch took over the work, naturally he couldn't watch it here, and said to Jian Heng to step forward and do a simple inspection of the livestock that Jian Heng had now bought.
Jian Heng took a fancy to two of these horses, but someone grabbed them and added an extra twenty dollars, and seeing that others continued to add them, Jian Heng quickly gave up again.
After a few rounds, only five of the twelve or thirteen horses that Jian Heng had planned had been purchased, and the average transaction price was almost five hundred and fifty US dollars, including quartes and Arabians.
When it comes to Arabian horses, everyone may think that they are very expensive, but Arabian horses are very common in the United States, and the Arabian horses here do not refer to the kind of competition level, but ordinary, if it is not a particularly good bloodline, or a particularly outstanding physique, just as an ordinary horse, the Arabian horse is also this price, and it is not expensive.
You must know that 60% of the world's Arabian horses are in the United States, almost 600,000 horses, such a stock, as long as a ranch can have one.
After buying five horses, Jian Heng's luck seemed to run out, and the next favorite horses were all grabbed.
After being snatched away by someone in a few batches of horses, Jian Heng decided to leave, and this special small auction was actually made like this.
Jian Heng stood up and said in his heart: Lao Tzu can't be provoked, can he still hide!
Just as Jian Heng was about to turn around and leave, among the group of horses that came in from the west, there was a horse that caught Jian Heng's attention.
It was a pure black horse, its whole coat color shimmering black in the sunlight, and it was very tall, almost 1.7 meters tall at the shoulders, which made it stand out a little bit from the crowd.
The horse's courage did not seem to be small, and it held its head high, and even if it was buttoned up with a simple bridle, it did not prevent it from turning its head around and looking around.
The horse's pedigree is not pure, it has a bit of a quart, a bit of Arabian meaning, and even some small characteristics of Andalusian horses, in short, you can see that this is a hybrid horse.
It can attract Jian Heng's attention not because it is tall, but because this horse is very similar to Jian Heng's first horse. In the past, when Jian Heng was working under Old Anders, after the old man taught Jian Heng to ride a horse, he asked Jian Heng to pick a mount of his own among the horses in the pasture.
Jian Heng, who had a special desire for tall horses, picked the tallest black horse in the entire ranch and named it Nightingale, and Jian Heng rode it for two good years.
Unfortunately, good things don't last long, and in the winter of the following year, the nightingale had an epidemic, and there was really no way to think about it, so he had to euthanize it on the advice of a veterinarian.
After two years of getting along day and night, before dawn in the morning, Jian Heng rode it to drive the cattle to the pasture, and only at night when the stars and moon were in the sky did he ride it back to the shed.
Two years later, the nightingale is no longer a simple horse for Jian Heng, but a family member, a relative!
When he lost him, the pain in Jian Heng's heart was indescribable.
Now seeing this hybrid horse, Jian Heng suddenly had a feeling of nightingale being reborn, and in an instant, the eyes of the tall black horse in the field also seemed to notice Jian Heng.
One person and one horse looked at each other, and there seemed to be a voice in Jian Heng's heart that said: It's yours!
Jian Heng said softly: "Yes, it's mine!" ”
After speaking, Jian Heng sat back again.
The two sisters, Big Mac and Wheat, got up and were about to leave, and when they saw Jian Heng sitting down again, they asked, "Why don't you leave again?" ”
"Look again!" Jian Heng's eyes were firmly fixed on the tall dark horse in the field.
After Barley and Wheat followed Jian Heng's gaze and saw the black horse, they also sat back.
"It's too high!" Barley said.
Generally speaking, a horse with a height of 1.6 meters on the shoulder of the ranch is already considered tall, and this guy's shoulder height is almost 1.745 meters, and it is difficult for a person with a slightly short height to climb on the back of a horse without borrowing tools.
"The proportions are a bit weird," Wheat commented.
The horse's body is indeed strange, and it seems to be slightly longer than the average horse.
Jian Heng said: "Qima naturally has strange states! ”
said it quite confidently, but Jian Heng knew that he was, and he knew that he liked this horse, just because it had the shadow of a nightingale, but when Jian Heng heard the wheat say that he couldn't help but defend it.
The servants were talking, the scene had already begun to be filmed, this group of horses was good overall, many people were interested, after a few rounds, only the big black horse that Jian Heng liked was left, and no one was stunned to bid.
"Six hundred!"
Jian Heng stretched out his arm and motioned for the horse to ask for six hundred dollars for himself. Despite this and some shortcomings, this horse is still a good horse, and the price of six hundred dollars is not overestimated.
The cowboy at the auction roared, looked around, and asked a few questions, but no one had offered a higher price.
"Six hundred, that's good, that gentleman six hundred, be...!"
Before Jiaozi could say anything, a guy stretched out his hand.
I just stretched out my hand at the guy who was still very small, almost 1.6 meters tall, wearing a big black-framed glass, looking like a nerd.
Jian Heng couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in his heart: Muma, you want this horse to have a hair, look at your head is not as high as the horse's belly!
"Six hundred and forty! This gentleman is out to six hundred and forty! ”
The auctioneer also wanted to say two words to encourage Jian Heng to pay, but who knew that the one who had just raised the price directly stretched out his hands and kept dancing in the air.
"No, no, I'm not bidding, I'm greeting my friend," the one said, pointing to the west entrance.
The nerd's voice caused a chuckle in the room.
At the entrance stood a young girl, very beautiful, with a slightly stiffer face and a very large mouth, a bit like the old Julia Roberts. The clothes that people wear beautifully are more exaggerated, with a bare back and a small pants on the lower body, which seems to be very difficult to cover the cheeks, and it is like taking a wall calendar, which is particularly exaggerated.
Seeing this, Jian Hengxin said: No wonder this little nerd is so excited all of a sudden!
The nerdy words made the auctioneer a little entangled, but soon Jian Heng relieved him and stretched out two fingers, meaning that he would add twenty.
Originally, no one was bidding, but now Jian Heng directly won the black horse for six hundred and sixty, which happened to be a sixty-six shun.
After buying it, Jian Heng saw that there were not a few left, Guan Jian was that the two sweepers had no intention of stopping at all, Jian Heng felt that he didn't have to waste any more time, he still had time to go to the professional horse farm to have a look, and he really had to wait for the big auction to come to Marion to take a look.
Just as Jian Heng got up with the barley and wheat and walked to the east exit, a staff member ran quickly to the bottom of the lifting platform, waving the paper in his hand.
"Here's a bit of news, some horse owners are late, if you are interested, you can wait a little longer, and there are more than 100 horses coming one after another to ......"
As soon as Jian Heng heard it, the ranchers of this gang saw that there were two stupid big heads of rolls here, and immediately brought the horses that they couldn't use at home to try their luck.
"See again?" Damai looked at Jian Heng and asked.
"If you want to buy it, we'll take a look at it."
Wheat heard the words and said, "Forget it, these horses are not very good, I think we should bring the horses from the family."
Syllable!
Jian Heng clapped his hands happily when he heard this: "This is a good idea!" ”
"Blackheart Boss, by the way, you seem to like that black hybrid horse, have you thought of a name, why don't you think of one for it now?" Wheat continued.
As soon as she heard that she was going to name her horse, Jian Heng immediately shook his head a few times: "Forget it, what's so good about the name Denver, it's so sloppy that it can't be hasty anymore!" ”
"What's the name you have in mind?"
"Black Beans!" A 'flash of inspiration' flashed in Jian Heng's mind, and the name of the horse blurted out.
Originally, I wanted to continue to borrow the nightingale, but when I thought about the fate of the nightingale, I simply changed the name, changed it to a very ordinary name, so that maybe the horse would live a long and healthy life.
"Shake! What does that mean? The two sisters repeated a few words repeatedly, looking at Jian Heng with a confused expression.
