Chapter 112 A Good Horse and a Good Saddle (Fourth)

Sanhe horse has a very special origin.

At the beginning, some old Maozi aristocrats came to the Northeast and brought some good horse breeds from abroad. During the Xiaotian occupation period, they brought some purebred horse breeds. These horses were crossed with local horse breeds, and gradually formed the current horse breed. Three river horses.

They are strong and compact, handsome in appearance, deep in chest, muscular...the advantages are many.

The temperament is docile but powerful, and it belongs to the horse that is excellent for driving and riding.

It only takes about one minute and ten seconds to run 1000 meters on horseback.

A rubber-tyred cart with a load of [-] kilograms by a single horse can cover ten kilometers in half an hour.

This is the main place of origin in Inner Mongolia, the only famous horse that is 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 were such good horses among them.

Suppressing the passion in his heart, Lu Lu walked over to the man who was guarding and waiting for the buyer to come to his door.

"Men, is this horse for sale?" Lu Lu walked around the horse.

The man didn't know the reason, and the boss said with a face: "If you don't sell me, what are you doing here, aren't you talking nonsense?"

Very aggressive!

Lu Lu glanced at him, and walked around the horse again. He was completely intact and looked at the teeth. He was about three years old. This horse is young. You know, it usually takes four years for a horse to be considered an adult.

"Tsk tsk, too thin, is there something wrong?"

Lu Lu deliberately provoked him.

Hearing this, the man's eyes narrowed suddenly: "You're the only one who is sick, walk around...don't just stay here if you don't understand horses!"

He directly waved Lu Lv away.

"How can you do this?" Lu Lu was not annoyed: "I just asked because I didn't understand. You have to figure out what's going on. Listen to what you mean, this is still a good horse, but why should I ask?" It doesn't look good, it's so thin."

Hearing what Lu Lu said, the man's tone softened a little.

"It's a good horse from Inner Mongolia. It's not sick. It's just that I've been out for a lot of days. I put it at home and was taken care of by the old man. I didn't care for it. I lost weight. Don't look at it as thin, I can assure you, Among the horses present, none is better than it... I also bought it from a passing Inner Mongolian man at that time, and I was still a pony at that time."

Speaking of this, the man paused, and looked Lu Lu up and down: "That's right, let's play, I spent so much time talking with you who don't know how to buy horses, and you don't look like someone who can buy horses." .Don't interfere with my business."

Lu Lu curled his lips, and thought to himself: With your fiery temper, and your temperament of driving people away without saying a few words, no matter how good a horse is, you are hard to sell, and people are not easy to get out of the way.

But he was aiming at this horse, and he probably figured out the situation of this horse.

"Who says I don't buy horses? I really do buy horses. I don't understand horses. I can only judge whether they are strong or tall. But such horses are expensive. I just want to see how skinny you are." Ma, can it be cheaper."

Lu Lu stretched out his hand and touched the heads of the three hippopotamuses, and kept the thin characters in every sentence.

The black horse shook his head and snorted.

"You can't afford other horses, so don't even think about this horse, go!" The man seemed a little impatient.

Lu Lu could hear clearly: "Hey, I haven't seen you doing business like this. Come on, come on, give me a real price. If I can't afford it, I'll just turn around and leave. But as I said before, this horse is real. If you are thin, it takes a lot of effort to get strong. If you say it is a good horse, it doesn't count, but if others say it is a good horse, then it will work.

Also, I just bought one that pulls a cart and plows the land. No matter how good it is, it’s only reasonable to be able to work. I bought it back, and it’s just like this, and I don’t have the strength to work. It takes a long time to wait Slow down.

Do you think it makes sense?
So, man, weigh it yourself, let's be honest and say the price in your heart. "

As Lu Lu said, he stretched out his hand towards the man.

The man sized Lu Lu up again, and seeing that Lu Lu was serious and not joking, he turned his head and looked around, sighed for a long time, as if he had really realized the reality, and asked seriously: "You Really want to buy it?"

"You don't want to buy me to waste half a day here with you, huh?" Lu Lu affirmed.

"This is really a good horse!" The man let out a long breath: "It can be harnessed and ridden, and it is stronger than other horses!"

"How can I fly? After all, it's the horse, the plow and the cart, isn't that all the same?" Lu Lu still refused to admit it.

This man seemed to be finally persuaded by Lu Lu, he sighed a long time, stretched his hand towards Lu Lu while holding his cuff.

Lu Lu put his hand into the man's cuff and began to touch the price.

A price was quickly reached: one hundred and three.

"I don't want to sell the horse at this price. If this horse comes to Inner Mongolia, people who really know how to look at it will buy it at double the price." The man emphasized, feeling like he came to the wrong place.

"Is there a shortage of horses in Inner Mongolia?"

When Lu Lu asked back, the man immediately shut up.

From the perspective of ordinary people, such a price would definitely not be given to such a skinny horse and those who don't understand the special characteristics of this horse, but it is quite honest when it comes to it.

Lu Lu didn't nod immediately, but turned to look at the saddle and whip lying aside.

The two things looked gray, but with Lu Lu's vision, he could tell at a glance that they were made by skilled craftsmen. They were all made of cowhide, and the workmanship was exquisite, and there were even carvings on the wood.

Although it is dusty, it is a real good thing.

It will take another 40 years. Just such a set of handmade saddles is worth a lot of money, often tens of thousands.

Raising a foal, and being willing to make such a good saddle, this man has really given up a lot of thought.

"And the saddle and the whip?"

"This is also a good thing. Last year, I specially hired someone to pay a high price to tailor it for this horse..."

"All the horses are sold...I'll add twenty to you! I can see that you are a horse lover. Of course, you should also know that a good saddle can only match a good horse. Since it is tailor-made for it, let me give it a try. And take it away, it’s useless for you to stay, isn’t it. If it’s going to work, give me a quick word!”

Lu Lu interrupted his words, not giving him a chance to bargain.

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

call……

Lu Lu heaved a sigh of relief, it was finally done, he took out a wad of money from his arms, counted fifteen chapters and handed it to the man.

This man looked at the thick stack of banknotes in Lu Lu's hand, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Didn't you just say you can't afford it?

With the money in his hand, it's no problem to buy a few horses.

He has a feeling of being fooled.

The young man in front of him clearly came for this horse, he must have known about this horse long ago.

But the words have already been spoken, and he set the price himself. Lu Lu has been talking about it, but in truth, he didn't counter the price. According to the rules, there is no way to go back on his word.

Otherwise, it's a trivial matter to raise your arms and start a fight as soon as things break out.

Hastily!
He took the banknote in a daze, and his face became weird.

Lu Lu didn't bother with him, fastened the saddle to the skinny horse, raised the whip, and prepared to leave.

Now that the matter was over, 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 slightly at the man: "Don't worry, I will be a good master!"

After speaking, he led the horse and left.
