Chapter 112 A good horse and a good saddle (fourth update)
Sanhema has a very special origin.
In the beginning, some old nobles came to the Northeast and brought some good foreign horse breeds. During the invasion of Xiaozhi, they also brought some pureblood horse breeds. These horses gradually formed today's horse breeds by crossing with local horse breeds.
Three river horses.
They have a strong and compact body, handsome appearance, deep and long rib cage, well-developed muscles... they have many advantages.
It has a docile temperament but is still powerful, making it an excellent horse for both driving and riding.
It only takes about one minute and ten seconds to run a thousand meters on horseback.
A single-horse cart with rubber wheels carrying a load of 500 kilograms can cover ten kilometers in half an hour.
This is the only famous horse that is mainly produced in Inner Mongolia and is closely related to the Northeast.
It is also the only domestic horse that can compete with foreign horses in horse racing.
Lu Lu never expected that among the dozens of local horses, there would be such a good horse among them.
"You can't afford other horses, so don't even think about this one. Leave quickly!" The man seemed a little impatient.
Lu Lu deliberately provoked him.
Lu Lu asked in reply, and the man immediately shut up.
"Don't you want me to waste half a day talking with you?" Lu Lu affirmed.
"This is a good horse from Inner Mongolia. It's not sick. It's just that I went out for many days and kept it at home under the care of the elderly. It lost weight because of neglect. Don't look at it. I can guarantee you that it will lose weight.
None of the horses here are as good as him... I bought it from a passing Inner Mongolian man when he was still a young pony."
So sloppy!
He took the banknote blankly and his expression became strange.
The man looked at Lu Lu again. Seeing that Lu Lu was serious and not joking, he turned around and looked around again. He sighed deeply, as if he had really recognized the reality, and asked seriously: "You
Really want to buy it?”
Didn’t you just say you couldn’t afford it?
call……
Also, I bought it back to pull a truck to plow the fields. No matter how good it is, it is reasonable to be able to work. I bought it back, and it is like this and has no strength to work. It will have to wait for a long time.
Slow down.
Such a price, from the perspective of ordinary people, would definitely not be affordable for such a skinny horse, and those who do not understand the special characteristics of this horse, but when it comes down to it, it can be considered quite honest.
“Is Inner Mongolia short of horses?”
But he came here specifically for this horse, and he probably had a clear idea of its condition.
"This is really a good horse!" The man let out a long sigh: "It can be pulled and ridden, but it is better than other horses!"
"Tsk, tsk, you're too thin, is there something wrong with you?"
Lu Lu interrupted his words and did not give him a chance to bargain.
"How can it still fly? After all, it's a horse that plows fields and pulls carts. Aren't they all the same?" Lu Lu still had the same attitude of refusing to admit it.
Lu Lu reached out and touched the head of the three-hippo, saying the same thing as "skinny".
The man seemed to have finally been convinced by Lu Lu. He let out a long sigh, held his cuff with one hand and stretched it towards Lu Lu.
"Where's the saddle and whip?"
Lu Lu said, extending his hand towards the man.
The man looked at the thick stack of banknotes in Lu Lu's hand and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, the man's tone softened a little.
Very angry!
Lu Lu heard it clearly: "Hey, I've never seen you doing business like this. Come on, come on, give me a real price. If I can't afford it, I'll turn around and leave. But first of all, this horse is real
If you want to be thin, you have to put a lot of effort into getting stronger. If you say it is a good horse yourself, it won't count. It will only matter if others say it is a good horse.
Do you think this is true?
So, men, you should weigh it carefully for yourself, let’s be honest and tell the price in your heart.”
Lu Lu did not nod immediately, but turned to look at the saddle and riding whip lying aside.
"How could you do this?" Lu Lu was not annoyed: "I just asked because I didn't understand. I have to find out what's going on. From what you say, this is still a good horse, but what can I do?
It doesn’t look like he’s good at it, he’s so thin.”
He felt like he had been deceived.
Hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly narrowed: "You are the only one who is sick, walk around... If you don't know how to ride a horse, then don't be blind here!"
Although it is dusty, it is a real good thing.
"Man, are you selling this horse?" Lu Lu circled around the horse.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was he who had set the price himself. Lu Lu kept talking about it, but when it came to it, he didn't even counter-offer. According to the rules, he couldn't go back on his words.
Suppressing the heat in his heart, Lu Lu walked towards the man who was watching and waiting for the buyer to come to the door.
After raising the foal, he is still willing to make such a good saddle. This person has really put a lot of thought into it.
The two things looked gray, but with Lu Lu's sharp eyesight, he could tell at a glance that they were made by skilled craftsmen. They were all made of cowhide, and the workmanship was exquisite. There were even carvings on the wood.
With the money he has in hand, he can buy a few horses without any problem.
Otherwise, if something happens and something breaks out, it would still be a trivial matter to have a fight.
He directly waved Lu Lu away.
"Who says I'm not a horse buyer? I really am a horse buyer. I don't understand horses. I can only judge them by whether they are strong or tall. But horses like that are expensive. I just want to see how thin you are.
Horse, can it be cheaper?"
The man hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Lu Lu put his hand into the man's sleeve and began to feel the price.
Lu Lu curled his lips and said to himself: With your fiery temper and your tendency to drive people away without even saying a few words, it will be difficult for you to sell your horse no matter how good it is, and it will be difficult for people to step aside.
The young man in front of me was clearly here for this horse. He must have known about this horse's good qualities.
"The horses are all sold... I'll give you twenty more! I can see that you are a horse lover. Of course, you should also know that a good saddle can match a good horse. Since it is tailor-made for it, let me give it a try.
And take it away, there is no use if you stay. If it is possible, please give me a happy word!"
The man didn't know the reason, but the boss said with a face: "If you don't sell me, why are you running this place? Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Having said this, the man paused and looked Lu Lu up and down: "Okay, okay, let's go and play. I've spent so much time arguing with you who don't understand horses. You don't look like someone who knows how to buy horses."
.Don’t affect my business.”
"This is also a good thing. I hired someone to tailor it for this horse at a high price last year..."
Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got it done. He took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted fifteen chapters and handed it to the man.
"I won't sell it for less than this price. If this horse comes to Inner Mongolia and people who are really knowledgeable look at it, there will be people who want it even if it is doubled." The man emphasized, feeling like he had come to the wrong place.
It would take another forty years, and such a purely handmade saddle would be worth a lot of money, easily tens of thousands.
A price was quickly arrived at: one hundred and thirty.
Lu Lu glanced at him and circled around the horse again. He found that there was no injury or damage on his body. He even looked at the teeth. He saw that the horse was about three years old. This horse was very young. You should know that horses usually don't reach adulthood until four years.
The black horse shook his head and snorted.
Lu Lu ignored him, put the saddle on the thin horse, picked up the whip and prepared to leave.
At this point, the man had nothing to say and reluctantly reached out to stroke the black horse's mane.
The horse was already in hand. Lu Lu smiled at the man and said, "Don't worry, I will be a good master!"
