Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 111 A Lean Horse

The three of them walked through the market, passing various small stalls along the way.

It is worthy of being the birthplace of Errenzhuan. The shouts of stall owners on the street spread all over the streets and alleys, and it can be said that everyone is a joker.

There are a wide range of ingredients in the Northeast, and there is pure natural cold air. It is not surprising that Lu Lu saw frozen pears, frozen dates, frozen persimmons, and frozen sand fruits in jars sealed with ice at this time.

At this time, there is a lack of fruit to eat. When I saw these things, I couldn't help drooling. Lu Lu simply weighed some of them and gave them to Chen Xiuqing and his sister. It was cold, sour and sweet. comfortable.

When he turned his head, he saw Chen Xiuyu looking back at others carrying candied haws for sale, so he immediately turned back and bought a handful for Chen Xiuyu.

Usually, I don’t have much spare money. When I go to the streets these days, there are very few people with ten yuan in their pockets. Most people only have two or three yuan on them. Of course, the prices are not high, and you can buy snacks for a penny. the year of
Most of the time, I want to eat, but I can't afford it because my pocket is clean, or I just don't want to buy it at all, so I try my best to restrain my desire.

The three of them just strolled all the way, heading towards the place where the animals were sold.

Before passing a stall selling clothes, Lu Lu stopped, thinking of the pair of 袼褙 shoes that Chen Xiuyu made for her.

Looking at Chen Xiuyu again, she was wearing a set of clothes with a few patches, and felt a little pain in her heart. Among the clothes, she chose a set of generous and neat plain cotton clothes with tiny flowers, and bought them for seven yuan.

As for Zhenliang, which is popular these days, Lu Lu is too aware of its advantages and disadvantages. In addition to wear-resistant colors and fresh styles, it also has the biggest disadvantage. It sweats around the body in summer, and it is cold and uncomfortable next to the skin in winter.

It's just good-looking, far less real than cotton cloth.

The key is that the price is quite high, more than ten yuan a piece.

As for the size, Lu Lu knows it without asking, he still has this spectrum of husband and wife for many years in the previous life.

Chen Xiuyu was still wondering what Lu Lu was doing when she was choosing women's clothes, and a set of packed clothes had already been stuffed into her arms.

"Brother Lu..." Chen Xiuyu stared blankly at Lu Lu.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Lu had already stopped the conversation: "You can give me the 袼褙 shoes sewn by my own hands, but I can't give you a suit."

"But... it's too expensive!" Chen Xiuyu said with a blushing face, "The shoes I made are just made of scraps of cloth and are worthless!"

"Some things cannot be measured by money." Lu Lu said seriously, and then walked straight forward.

Chen Xiuqing watched from the side, her gaze swung between Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu, and she smiled slightly: "Sister, let's go!"

He also quickly followed Lu Lu.

Chen Xiuyu blushed, looked at the beautiful clothes in her arms, bit her lip, and trotted to follow.

Not long after, the three of them walked out of the market and arrived at the area where animals were sold.

It was a barren grassy slope, and many people came to buy and sell livestock. As far as the eye could see, there were cattle, sheep, horses and pigs, and many people lingered in it.

"Brother Lu, do you understand horses?" Chen Xiuqing seemed a little flustered: "I can't tell whether a horse is good or bad!"

"I know a little bit." Lu Lu nodded.

"You have to help me today, buy a stronger horse that can pull and plow."

"Don't worry, wrap it on me!"

In the Northeast, in these years, horses are definitely the best helpers. Farming and pulling carts are indispensable for farm work. In winter, they can also go to the mountains to work in forest farms, drag trees on the mountains, and help people transport things. With it, many things will be much easier and simpler, even if you go hunting, it can also be used as a substitute for walking or carrying things.

Lu Lu came to see the horse, but he also had his own ideas. He also wanted to get a good horse.

When Zhao Tuanqing rode a horse, led a hound, and carried an eagle, that image still seems to be engraved in his mind.

Then think about the amorous feelings of the rivers and lakes galloping on horses, which is fascinating.

The most important thing is that with horses, you can go hunting in farther places.

If you want to take a car with Yuan Baoniang and four of you by other means of transportation, with guns on your shoulders, it will be difficult!

Picking things is like choosing a restaurant, where there are more people.

Therefore, the first choice of the three is to go to places crowded with crowds.

In the long-term contact, there are quite a few people who understand horses, but most of them are mainly used to deal with farming, and what is needed is effort.

One by one, they were arguing and commenting on the horses.

What Chen Xiuqing needs is exactly this kind of horse, and it needs a skilled horse, which can be used directly after pulling it back.

Lu Lu led Chen Xiuqing's brother and sister around, and found that there were several horses suitable for Chen Xiuqing, all of which were not bad, raised by farmers, very suitable, they were HLJ horses, the most suitable local breed.

"The few horses I've seen just now are all good. There are veterans with sharp eyes who are negotiating the price, so it depends on the price. Now is the busy farming season, and the price will be slightly higher at this time, but it will definitely not exceed [-]. Just give it as you see it, if you like the one, just lead that one!"

Lu Lu gave his own suggestion, and then continued to wander around to see.

Chen Xiuqing scratched her head, went straight into the crowd, and chose the young but strongest horse.

When he found the owner of the horse, he reached into the owner's cuff and compared the price he offered, which was 130 yuan.

Talking about the price of livestock conceals the quotation with hand gestures. This is a long-established rule to prevent random price speculation.

The owner of the horse shook his head, and Chen Xiuqing was also straightforward. With so many choices, he gave up decisively and walked towards another group of people.

As soon as he turned around, the owner of the horse hurriedly stopped him: "Men, it's a deal!"

Everyone wants to get a good price, but a good price is so easy to come by.

The price Chen Xiuqing gave was actually beyond his expectation, while the others who had offered the price were only paid one hundred and twenty at most. Seeing that he left so resolutely, he was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he hurriedly called Chen Xiuqing, He led the horse to him and put the reins in his hand.

After paying the money, Chen Xiuqing also asked about the specific condition of the horse, whether it would bite or kick.

While Lu Lu was watching all the way, he suddenly saw a black-haired skinny horse gnawing grass sprouts on the grassy slope, and his eyes suddenly lit up: Sanhe horse!
He took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised.

The four hooves are slender, the front hooves are round, the hind hooves are slightly pointed, the buttocks muscles are strong, and the muscles of the hind limbs are more developed and powerful than the forelimbs;

Long neck, large nostrils, and large lung capacity;

The horse's eyeballs are round, plump and shiny, and its ears are small and pointed, making it look very energetic.

This is completely in line with Lu Lu's understanding of a good horse, and this is a good horse in his heart.

Moreover, the coat color is black, but not many among Sanhe horses.

Don't look at the dull and dull fur. It is not as shiny and smooth as other horses, so you think this horse is not good.

Horses also change due to different living environments.In the Northeast, there are such horses, which are more resistant to cold, but they are not southern horses.

It's just a little thinner, it looks inconspicuous, as long as it is fed and strengthened, it will definitely be a good horse.

A voice in Lu Lu's heart called out: It's you!
