The boss of the horse shop is enthusiastically introducing to them that he has Han and Tang horses, Shandan horses, and Hequ horses, which are horses that live in the grasslands in the Hequ area. There are also Yunnan horses, Dali horses, Wumeng horses, and Tengchong horses. The horses are all Yunnan horses, which are famous for their well-developed tendons, agile temperament, good at climbing mountains and ridges, long-term labor, cold resistance, and rough feeding.
"And Mongolian horses, horses on the Mongolian steppes, Mongolian horses."
As he was talking enthusiastically, he heard Ruoxuan pointing at the sick horse in the corner and saying that she wanted to buy it.
That horse is a BMW, the BMW that everyone has heard of!
This horse was originally reserved by a customer, but on the way from there, its foot was bitten by an unknown animal.
There was nothing wrong at first, just a few wounds. Although he knew about it when he received the goods, he didn't care about it. Who knew that it became more serious day by day, and even after using many kinds of medicine, it couldn't be cured.
In the past few days, it was so bad that I couldn't even stand up, and I was so thin that I was skin and bones. The veterinarian said there was no cure.
He hurriedly said: "Little girl, this horse is dying, I don't dare sell it to you! You can choose another horse!"
Of course you can’t buy a horse that’s dying! There was no one in their family who could treat horses. Zuoshui took a look and felt a little pity!
Although this horse has become skinny and skinny, it can still be seen that it has a slender head, a tall neck, a narrow chest, a long back, a shallow rib cage, long but not obvious toe bones, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, and an excellent frame!
The most important thing is a bloody horse! And a sweaty horse that just came of age!
Horses like this are usually hard to come by and very rare, costing thousands of taels.
Mrs. Liu didn't dare to buy a dying horse and go home, so she hurriedly coaxed: "Xuan Bao, we plan to buy a horse and a carriage to drive home. If we buy this horse, we won't be able to ride in the carriage."
Ruoxuan had a way to cure this horse, but if she bought it, she wouldn't be able to take the carriage home. She looked at the other horses and chose a shorter, black, almost adult horse: "Then I want this one!"
Ruoshui looked over and realized that his precious daughter had chosen a Wumeng horse.
"The horses in central Yunnan are good at walking on mountain roads and are the strongest, especially the Wumeng horses. They have tall bodies and outstanding mental strength. Among all horses, they stand out from the crowd."
The shopkeeper looked over and said to Ruoshui in surprise: "Brother's daughter has a good eye! Does she understand horses at such a young age?"
The first thing I saw was the sweaty horse. The second thing I saw was the Wumeng horse.
The Wumeng horse is a good horse that stands shoulder to shoulder with the so-called "Pegasus" such as "Wusun" and "Khanxue".
In terms of horse breeds alone, these two horses can be said to be the best horses in his horse racing business!
However, excellent Wumeng horses are cultivated and trained from the age of three months, and the process is very cruel. This horse failed to be trained, so it fell into his hands.
In fact, most of the best horses were sent to the capital to be selected by the emperor's relatives and powerful ministers, or sent to the military camp to become war horses.
When it's their turn, horses from small counties like them pick out the ones they don't want.
However, people in small counties mostly buy horses to pull carriages, which are enough for their use.
Those wealthy people who want the best will book in advance.
That bloody horse was also ordered by a nobleman, but it was injured and could not be delivered to the nobleman, so he took over it. It was a huge loss!
Ruoshui was also surprised that his daughter was so good at picking a horse. He didn't even teach her!
But since it was his daughter's favorite, he planned to buy it if the price was not too expensive: "Boss, how much is this horse?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This horse is a Wumeng horse. Although it is short in stature, it is well-proportioned, has a docile temperament, strong joints, and is agile. Moreover, it is a horse from the Dali area. It is famous for its well-developed tendons, agile personality, and good at climbing mountains and crossing mountains." Ridge, famous for long-distance and long-term labor, cold resistance, and rough feeding tolerance."
Wu Shui interrupted him: "Boss, just tell me how much money it will be!"
"One price is two hundred and fifty taels, no negotiation! This horse cannot run a thousand miles a day unless it is well trained. Brother, you can see that you understand horses at first sight, and you also know that this kind of horse is aspiring to a thousand miles! If it is trained well, it can run a thousand miles a day. That’s five hundred taels or more.”
Ruoshui: "It's too expensive, two hundred taels! It costs two hundred and ten taels for the carriage, saddle, bridle, horseshoes, whip, etc.!"
Shopkeeper: "Two hundred taels is definitely not enough. Two hundred and fifty taels is definitely an unprecedented bargain! It can't be cheaper! I can half sell and half give you a complete set of carriage saddles and horse gear, and only charge you ten taels. Or you can buy the old one Go for a horse! Old Wumeng horses are relatively cheap, available in eighty taels, and they can run for at least three years."
Ruoxuan doesn't want to buy an old horse. It won't last long! Half selling and half giving is a great idea! She said: "Two hundred and fifty taels are fine, but can you give me that horse?"
Ruoxuan pointed at the bloody horse lying on the ground.
The shopkeeper turned around and took a look, hesitating. That was the BMW he had spent five hundred taels to get back!
"Didn't you say it's about to die? Give it to me!"
Mrs. Liu felt something was wrong: "Xuan Bao, that horse is about to die. If it dies after buying it, we have to find a place to bury it. It would be more cost-effective for the boss to sell this Wumeng horse to us at a cheaper price."
Weowu Shui also knows horses. He glanced at the horse's eyes and said, "Xuan Bao, that horse is indeed dying and cannot be saved! We don't want it! Boss, please make this Wumeng horse cheaper!"
Ruoxuan: "But, I think it's very pitiful. Let's buy it back and go to Fang's Medical Center to see Uncle Wu to see if it can be treated?"
The store owner is actually more familiar with horses. He has been dealing with horses for decades, and he also asked the doctor from Fang's Medical Center to take a look at it. Knowing that the horse was indeed hopeless, he gritted his teeth and said: "Wumeng horses are cheap. It really can’t be cheaper, not even a penny, so I can give you that bloody BMW! I spent 500 taels to get that bloody BMW back, it’s a big loss!”
The store owner’s heart is also bleeding.
"Boss is such a good person!" Xiu Xuan Shuang quickly took out two hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, "Boss, here it is!"
Mrs. Liu pushed Rui Shui, who knew better about horses, and motioned for him to persuade Rui Xuan.
The horse can't even stand up, and it's troublesome to pull it back. If it dies after being bought back, you have to find a place to bury it. It's so troublesome!
Weowu Shui was helpless and asked him to be the bad guy again, but Xuan Bao was so insistent. Thinking of the persimmons and dates that ripened overnight at home, as well as the bumper harvest of rice, he instead said: "Boss, my daughter just knows Ma. She thinks If it is cured well, it will be troublesome to bring the bloody horse home. Please give us the carriage, as well as two sets of saddles and reins."
The shopkeeper glared: "No, no! I usually sell ordinary carriages for 20 taels a piece, and a set of saddles is only 4 or 5 taels! I can't afford it! I can't afford it! I have to give you at least ten taels of silver. I'll give you two Put on the best harness and give you a carriage made of good wood.”
Weu Shui just wanted an extra set of horse gear: "That's it, but the boss has to find someone to help us take that sweaty horse home. After all, that horse can't even stand up."
The shopkeeper then took the banknote from Ruoxuan's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, this is a must! I'll have someone hitch the carriage for you and deliver the bloody horse to your home. I hope you can find someone to heal it." It’s better, otherwise it would be such a pity!”
Although the store owner thinks it is impossible to cure it, he still has to say good things!
The sun has gone down, and the boss rushes to make arrangements.
When Mrs. Liu came to the store and her family went to the street to wait, she couldn't help but said: "Xuan Bao, that sweaty BMW"
"Mom, I have a way to cure it. We are buying one and getting two free, which is a great deal! And in the belly of the bloody horse, there is a baby horse that has just been conceived and has not yet formed."
Weak Shui's pupils shrank: Isn't that the same as picking up two bloody horses for nothing?
Ms. Liu was also shocked. She looked at the bloody horse lying on the ground: Can it be cured? It must be cured! (End of chapter)
