Chapter 363 Picking a horse is not a beauty pageant
The reason Fang Yi said it was a pony was because this horse was obviously smaller than the other horses. He found it interesting that other horses were standing and grazing, but this horse was lying down. You are lying down
Just lie down. The red pony also stretched its head over the bottom railing of the railing. In this way, its head stuck out of the railing, tilting its big head to the side.
He was gnawing on the grass outside the railing. There was obviously grass inside, so why was he gnawing on the outside and using such a funny posture?
The upturned upper and lower lips revealed a pair of big horse teeth. This expression immediately made Fang Yi think that this was a second-rate horse.
It looked quite 'distinctive'. Fang Yi naturally raised his feet and slowly moved towards the pony. After walking a few steps, he found that the pony didn't respond. He took a few steps closer until he was more than two meters away from the pony.
At that moment, the second-rate horse looked at Fang Yi, and began to look like
I almost wanted to stand up, but now my head was stuck under the railing. I couldn't stand up for a while. The whole thing turned into a stupid horse kicking its four legs back and forth on the ground. The frequency of kicking was much faster than before.
.while kicking his legs and screaming.
Fang Yi quickly retreated a few meters away, fearing that if the horse's hoof kicked him, it would not be fun if the horse's hoof as big as a bowl fell on him.
I watched this idiot flapping about for almost a minute, moving his body left and right. When luck came, he pulled his head out from under the railing, and then stood up. As soon as he stood up, this idiot
Ma raised his head and looked at Fang Yi, and his expression was still the same! It seemed like his lips couldn't close together. The upper and lower lips were slanted into a gap. There were more teeth exposed on the left side, and more teeth exposed on the right side.
Less, just like a person curling his lips.
"Can you be more accurate?" Fang Yi looked at the horse and spit out a sentence in Chinese.
With a smile on his face, Fang Yi and the idiot looked at each other for two minutes. Unexpectedly, the idiot actually took a step towards him, then settled down and continued to look at him in the same posture. Then after a while, he still looked at him.
Taking a step towards him, he seemed to be as curious about Fang Yi as Fang Yi was about himself.
"Sir! I've chosen it. Come and take a look." At this moment, Jack's loud voice rang out. He was still more than ten meters away from Fang Yi. He said something to his boss.
This sound immediately frightened the second-rate horse, and he jumped briskly on the spot and turned around and ran away. After running seven or eight meters, he stopped and continued to look at Fang Yi.
"Okay!" Fang Yi raised his legs and walked towards Jack and the racecourse owner, and came to the side of the two people. Fang Yi turned his head again. Looking at the second-rate horse in the distance, he asked Jack: "What do you think?
How about that one?".
Jack followed the direction of Fang Yi's finger, observed it, and said, "It doesn't look too good. What's your personality like?" The latter sentence was for the racecourse owner.
The racecourse owner looked at the second-rate horse and shook his head and said: "It's a bit too lively in character. It's still young and we'll wait until it's gelding when it's two years old."
"It's too young. Now we have to take it back and train it," Jack explained to Fang Yi.
"Why do you want to gelding it?" Fang Yi was a little curious about turning a good horse into a eunuch.
Jack told Fang Yi: "The stallion's personality is too fierce and difficult for ordinary people to control, while the gelding's personality is much gentler. This horse will most likely be gelded. There is almost no possibility of it being kept as a stallion...
”.
Fang Yi looked at the second-rate horse while listening to Jack explain to himself why he wanted to gelding.
"After a while, this horse will be gelded with the others. After it is gelded, it will be trained and we will see if there can be any big improvement," the racecourse owner said. As a racecourse owner, I don't like such a situation.
The horse has a strange personality. It doesn’t have the conditions to be a stallion, and training is difficult.
It’s hard to train, and it’s hard to sell such a horse. Who would want such a useless horse? It can’t do any work, it’s uncomfortable to ride, and it only eats but doesn’t work. In the name of the horse farm owner
I mean, this horse was sent to be slaughtered after being trained for a few months.
Hearing that Jack and the racecourse owner's comments were not very good, Fang Yi didn't ask any more questions and turned around to see the horse Jack had chosen.
Just as he turned around, he heard the neighing of a horse from behind. Fang Yi turned around and saw that this idiot was pawing the ground in front of him with one of its front legs. While doing so, he looked at Fang Yi and neighed.
Fang Yi looked at this bastard and felt something interesting in his heart: "It's quite interesting!".
When the racecourse owner heard this, he smiled but did not speak.
Jack said honestly to Fang Yi: "It is having fun on its own." Upon hearing Fang Yi's words, Jack knew that his boss had become slightly interested in this horse, but as a cowboy with the responsibility of picking up horses, Jack
, Jack still honestly expressed his thoughts to his boss: It is not that it has a good impression of you, it is just interested in digging for fun, and it is a little wary when it comes to looking at you.
As far as Jack is concerned, he doesn't want this horse. Firstly, such a horse is of no use, and secondly, it would be troublesome to train it by himself. If he can see that it can be trained well, then that's all. How can a horse like this give even the owner of the racecourse a headache?
What can get Jack interested in taking away.
"How much does it cost?" Fang Yi didn't care if the second-rate guy was having fun on his own. Anyway, he seemed to be destined to this second-rate guy, so he naturally wanted to ask.
Upon hearing this, the racecourse owner immediately opened his mouth and said: "Six hundred dollars!".
After hearing the price, Fang Yi turned to look at Jack. When he came, he agreed to leave the matter of choosing the horse to negotiate the price to Jack. He didn't want to interrupt, so now he naturally looked at Jack to ask what the cowboy meant.
Looking at the boss's eyes, Jack knew that the boss was interested: "It's not worth so much, two hundred dollars!".
"Two hundred dollars is too little, let's go five hundred." The horse farmer shook his head and dropped the price by a hundred.
Jack also shook his head: "A well-trained horse only costs 700 yuan. This horse is not worth 500 yuan. The most we can add is 50 yuan!".
When Fang Yi heard this, wasn't it just two hundred and fifty? It would be quite interesting to buy two hundred and fifty for two hundred and fifty. He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it. He listened to the two talking about the price with his ears straight. Isn't the extra fifty Jack's part?
He was willing to add another penny, and just when Fang Yi was feeling a little anxious, the racecourse owner agreed.
After agreeing on this second-hand horse, Fang Yi was naturally taken by Jack to see other horses in this ranch. Jack picked three horses by himself, and now they are all bridled and tied to the horse posts.
When he got to the side of the three horses, Fang Yi took a look and had a little doubt, because all the horses, including the second-hand horse he bought, were all a bright maroon color. In Fang Yi's opinion, these three horses were still pretty good.
They are not as beautiful as the second-rate ones. They also have a beautiful white star on their foreheads. These three horses have big white stripes from the middle of their foreheads to their mouths. And one of them has the entire bridge of his nose, which is not asymmetrical at all. As a result,
Fang Yi, a member of the Horse Appearance Association, felt that the three horses Jack picked were not 'beautiful' enough!
Fang Yi and the other two were watching the horses. The racecourse owner left, leaving the two clients to negotiate on their own.
Facing Jack, Fang Yi asked the question in his heart: "Why are the horses all of the same color? Can't you choose horses with other coat colors? That one is good." Fang Yi turned his head and pointed to the horse not far away.
A big white horse in the wooden fence asked. Like many people, Fang Yi had a bit of a white horse plot in his heart. Every book mentioned it was Prince Charming, but no one said Prince Charming. When I bought a horse, it was all Prince Charming.
It's red. It's a bit outrageous.
Fang Yi chooses horses based on their appearance, but Jack chooses horses based on their temperament.
"These horses are the best ones trained by the racecourse." Jack looked at Fang Yi and said, "They are all around ** years old. They are either geldings or mares. You are not very good at riding horses yet. Such horses are docile and easy to control. For
It is the best and safest ride for you now."
Jack didn't dare to let Fang Yi, who couldn't ride a horse, control a hot horse or a pony as soon as he came up. That was not to teach his boss how to ride a horse. In a certain way, doing so would be equivalent to murdering Fang Yi. If this was the case,
If Ma kills Fang Yi, doesn't it mean that he will lose his new job? Where is it so easy to find a job now? If he fails, Fang Yi may lose his job with a good income!
Fortunately, Fang Yi listened to the advice and didn't say much. After listening to Jack's words, he nodded. In this way, the three horses were settled, and with the addition of the second horse, the four horses were settled.
The total cost to Fang Yi was less than US$2,400.
After having the horses, the next question was about sheep and cows. With these two animals, Jack figured out Fang Yi's appetite. His wealthy boss was not raised for eating or milking at all. In one word:
Play! You buy these things just to let them run around on your own land and play! It has nothing to do with selling them for food.
As for cattle and sheep, Jack and Fang Yi became members of the Animal Appearance Association together. They didn’t want any that looked unpleasant to their eyes or didn’t look smart. There was nothing to say about cows. They all chose goats because they were sheep.
Dongfang Yi looked a little dirty, and besides, no one was going to shear sheep, so why did he have to do this? In this way, the two of them visited five or six ranches together before they managed to collect dozens of cattle and dozens of sheep.
Alive.
After gathering all the things, Jack went to work happily. He got up at around six o'clock in the morning, drove the animals out, and then got busy with horse grooming and other things. In the morning, he taught Fang Yi how to ride horses for two hours.
Riding a horse is a very happy thing, and Fang Yi is naturally happy. However, when it comes to taking care of the horse, Fang Yi feels that it is not such a happy thing. He also tried to take care of the horse for two days. After two days, Fang Yi felt nothing.
I am interested. This thing is really tiring for Fang Yi. Shoveling horse manure, brushing horses and buckling horseshoes, it seems that the things are never finished all day long.
Fang Yi felt miserable, but the old cowboy felt that the work now was so easy and comfortable. One person took care of dozens of cows, dozens of sheep and four horses. The old cowboy was not tired, but it was a living job.
Young child?
Things here were almost settled, Fang Yicai left for Paris, packed up his remaining things and shipped them to his new home. By the time he got on the plane and arrived in Los Angeles again, Paris was no longer Fang Yi's permanent residence.
, the big house became Fang Yi’s new home, of course
When moving to a new house, it is indispensable to invite friends over to have fun. This time it is not only friends from abroad, but also Qu Gu from Canada, Zheng Yuan who has not seen each other in the United States for a year or two, and friends from China such as Lu Qikun
They were all invited by Fang Yi. (To be continued...)
