The three of them walked through the market, passing by various stalls.
It is indeed the birthplace of Errenzhuan. The shouts of street stall owners can be heard in the streets and alleys. It can be said that they are all good jokers.
The Northeast has a wide range of food ingredients and natural cold air. At this time, Lu Lu also saw someone sealing frozen pears, frozen dates, frozen persimmons and frozen sand fruits in jars with ice cubes. It was not surprising at all.
There was a shortage of fruits at this time. When he saw these things, he couldn't help drooling. Lu Lu simply weighed some and gave them to Chen Xiuqing and his sister. They were icy and cold, with a sour and sweet feeling that was indescribable.
of comfort.
When he turned around, he saw Chen Xiuyu looking back at others carrying candied haws for sale. He immediately went back and bought one for Chen Xiuyu.
I usually don’t have much spare money. These days, few people go out on the street with ten dollars in their pockets. Most people only have two or three dollars in their pockets. Of course, prices are not high, and you can buy snacks for just pennies.
year,
More often than not, I want to eat, but because my pocket is clean, I can’t afford it, or I simply can’t bear to buy it, I try my best to restrain my desire.
The three of them just strolled along, heading towards the place where the animals were sold.
Lu Lu stopped in front of a stall selling clothing. He thought of the pair of sandals that Chen Xiuyu made for her.
Looking at Chen Xiuyu again, she was wearing a set of clothes with a few patches. She couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart. Among the clothes, she chose a set of elegant and neat plain cotton clothes with tiny flowers and spent seven yuan on it.
"Today you have to help me buy a stronger horse that can pull and plow."
This is completely in line with Lu Lu's understanding of a good horse. This is a good horse in his heart.
Not long after, the three of them walked out of the market and arrived at the area where animals were sold.
When Chen Xiuyu was still wondering what Lu Lu was doing choosing women's clothes, a set of packed clothes had already been stuffed into her arms.
If we use other modes of transportation and want to take the car with four Yuan Baoniang and guns on their backs, it will be difficult!
"Some things cannot be measured by money." Lu Lu said seriously, and then walked forward.
Lu Lu came to see the horse. In fact, he also had his own ideas. He also wanted to get a good horse.
Everyone wants to get a good price, but it is so easy to get a good price.
The horse's eyes are round, full and shiny, and its ears are small and pointed, making it look energetic.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
In the long-term contact, there are many people who know about horses, but most of them are mainly used for farm work, and what is needed is to provide strength.
Discussing the price of livestock hides the quotation with gestures. This is a long-established rule to prevent random price speculation.
"Brother Lu, do you know anything about horses?" Chen Xiuqing looked a little flustered: "I can't tell whether a horse is good or bad!"
Chen Xiuqing watched from the side, her eyes flickering between Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu, and she smiled slightly: "Sister, let's go!"
While Lu Lu was watching all the way, he suddenly saw a thin black horse nibbling grass buds on the grass slope, and his eyes suddenly lit up: Sanhe horse!
He took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised.
"Brother Lu..." Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lu blankly.
In this poor place in the Northeast, horses are definitely the best helpers these days. They are indispensable for farming, pulling carts, and farm work. In winter, they can also go to the mountains to work on forest farms, drag logs to the mountains, and help people transport things.
Many things will be much easier and simpler with it. Even when going hunting, it can also be used for walking or carrying things.
Don't think that this horse is not good just because its fur is dull and not as shiny and smooth as other horses.
As for the size, Lu Lu knew it without asking. He had been married for many years in his previous life, so he still had this in mind.
Moreover, the coat color is black, which is rare among the three hippopotamuses.
Everyone argued and commented on the horses.
Therefore, the first choice of the three people was to go to the place where the crowds were.
"I know more or less." Lu Lu nodded.
"The horses I saw just now are all good, and there are veterans with sharp eyesight who are negotiating the price. It depends on the price. Now is the busy farming season, and the price will be a little higher at this time, but it will never exceed one hundred and fifty.
Just look at it and give it to me. If you like which one you like, just lead that one!"
The image of Zhao Tuanqing riding a horse, leading a hunting dog, and carrying an eagle is still etched in his mind.
The most important thing is that with horses, you can go hunting farther away.
Choosing something is like choosing a restaurant, go where there are more people.
It just looks good, not as solid as cotton.
Lu Lu gave his own suggestions and then continued to wander around to see.
Thinking again about the scenery of galloping horses and rivers and lakes, it is fascinating.
Chen Xiuqing scratched her head, went straight into the crowd, and chose the young but strongest horse.
The key is that the price is quite high, more than ten or twenty yuan a piece.
As soon as he turned around, the horse owner quickly stopped him: "Man, the deal is done!"
The four hooves are slender, the front hooves are round, the hind hooves are slightly pointed, the buttocks muscles are strong, and the hind limb muscles are more developed and powerful than the forelimbs;
Long neck, large nostrils, large lung capacity;
The price given by Chen Xiuqing actually exceeded his expectations, while others who had offered prices could only give one hundred and two at most. Seeing that he was leaving so decisively, for fear of missing the opportunity, he hurriedly called Chen Xiuqing,
Lead the horse to him and put the reins in his hands.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Lu had already blocked her words: "You can give me sandals sewn by my own hands, but I can't give you a set of clothes."
He also quickly followed Lu Lu.
What Chen Xiuqing needs is exactly this kind of horse, and it needs a skilled horse that can be used directly after being pulled back.
Lu Lu led Chen Xiuqing's brother and sister around, and found that there were several horses suitable for Chen Xiuqing. They were all good, raised by farmers, and very suitable. They were HLJ horses, the most suitable local breed.
It was a grassy and sloping land, and many people came to buy and sell livestock. Looking around, there were cows, sheep, horses and pigs, and many people lingered there.
After Chen Xiuqing paid, he also asked about the specific conditions of the horse, whether it could bite or kick people, etc.
When he found the horse's owner, he put his hand into the horse's owner's cuff and compared his price, which was one hundred and thirty yuan.
Chen Xiuyu blushed, looked at the beautiful clothes in her arms, bit her lips, and trotted to keep up.
The horse owner shook his head, and Chen Xiuqing was also straightforward. With so many choices, he decisively gave up and walked towards another group of people.
As for the really popular clothes these days, Lu Lu knew its advantages and disadvantages very well. In addition to its wear-resistant colors, fresh styles, and various styles, it also had its biggest disadvantages: it made you sweaty in the summer, and it was cold and uncomfortable next to you in the winter.
"But... this is too expensive!" Chen Xiuyu said with a blushing face: "The shoes I made are just made of scraps of cloth, they are worthless!"
Horses also have changes due to different living environments. In the Northeast, horses like this are more cold-resistant, but they are not horses from the South.
He's just lost some weight and doesn't look conspicuous. As long as he is fed and strengthened, he will definitely be a good horse.
There was a voice in Lu Lu's heart calling out: It's you!
