Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 80

  Chapter 80 Big Dark Horse Black Bean

  Jian Heng was a little dumbfounded. After passing the horse he wanted three times in a row, he couldn't help cursing.

   "You are so sick!"

   Fortunately, Jian Heng is using Chinese. Neither Barley, Wheat, nor Lynch next to him can understand what Jian Heng is cursing. Of course, people can also hear Jian Heng's dissatisfaction from the tone.

  Jian Heng has no choice but to not scold. The two who started to grab Jian Heng's horse cut off Jian Heng's beard again and again.

  Old Lynch also opened his eyes wide at this time. After thinking for a while, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started dialing.

"Cole, don't you want to sell horses? There are two people buying horses from Mario's side, which is very confusing!" The old man made several phone calls in a row to inform his good friend of the new events at today's auction. , The inside and outside of the words reveal that if others want to sell, they will send a well-trained horse with a normal physique for trial.

  Not to mention in the eyes of the old cowboys, even in the eyes of Jian Heng, these two people are fools. They were originally ordinary ranch horses, so why grab them!

If you want to rent out the horses, what are you doing here? Go directly to a professional horse farm. There are many horses of this kind there. As long as you can afford it, it's not a problem to collect 400,000 to 500,000 horses of this level in the United States nothing!

  Jian Heng is very angry, the consequences? Not serious at all!

  Jian Heng would not be as stupid as the two of them. With the price they paid for this kind of horse, Jian Heng knew that each horse would add up to fifty or sixty dollars, and he must have a better choice on his side.

   Two idiots entered the arena, and Jian Heng had to raise his requirements for horses. He originally planned to buy 12 or 3 horses for $6,000, but now it seems that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

  When the new batch of horses came in, Jian Heng waited for the two to finish snatching them up, and then he reached out and gestured for two of the quarter horses, a bay-colored deceit horse, and a sorrel mare.

Raising his hand, Jian Heng waited for anyone to follow the price. The two horses looked good, a little higher than the previous goal, and they could be trained. Of course, the starting price was also very good. One hundred and fifty dollars, five hundred dollars a horse.

At this time, Jian Heng was very calm. If someone bids, he would not want it. Not only would he not want it, but he would not stay any longer. With this price, Jian Heng was going to contact several small horse farms directly and let them deliver the goods to his door. Why bother? Running here under the sun, I finally had to find a car to transport it home.

  The auctioneer asked three times at the top of his voice, and finally Jian Heng made the deal at the reserve price.

  Old Lynch saw Jian Heng's face relaxed, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Henry, do you need veterinary services? If you need it, come to me."

"I really need it!" Jian Heng stared at the newly entered horses in the field, and said to Old Lynch without looking back: "I have some cattle and sheep over there, and now I have two horses. Let's see how much it will cost." ".

Now that Old Lynch opened his mouth, Jian Heng also thought about adding an extra insurance. Most American cowboys are quite simple, but as the old saying goes, the same rice feeds all kinds of people. on a monomer. So the necessary quarantine is still necessary.

   "It's an old friend, I'll give you this price!" Old Lynch gestured to Jian Heng with a few fingers.

  The asking price was not high, Jian Heng nodded and agreed without thinking.

   Lynch took over the job, so naturally he couldn't do it here. He told Jian Heng and went to do a simple inspection of the livestock that Jian Heng had already bought.

   This batch of horses Jian Heng took a fancy to two horses, but someone robbed them and added 20 dollars more. Seeing that they continued to add more, Jian Heng quickly gave up.

  After a few rounds, Jian Heng only bought five of the twelve or thirteen horses he had originally planned, and the average transaction price was about five hundred and fifty dollars, including Quarters and Arabians.

When it comes to Arabian horses, you may think that they are very expensive, but Arabian horses are very common in the United States. The Arabian here does not refer to the kind of race level, but ordinary, if it is not a particularly good pedigree, or particularly outstanding His physique, just as an ordinary riding horse, Arabian horses are only this price, and they are not much more expensive.

   It is important to know that 60% of the world's Arabian horses are in the United States, and there are almost 600,000 horses. With such a stock, as long as it is a ranch, it is possible to own one horse.

   After buying five horses, Jian Heng's luck seems to be exhausted, and the next horses he likes will be snatched up.

  After a few batches of horses were snatched away, Jian Heng decided to leave. This f*cking little auction turned out to be like this.

  Jian Heng stood up and thought to himself: I can't afford to offend, why can't I hide from him!

   Just as Jian Heng was about to turn around and leave, one of the horses that came in from the west caught Jian Heng's attention.

  It was a pure black horse, the entire coat color was shining black under the sunlight. The horse was very tall, with a shoulder height of almost 1.7 meters, which made it stand out from the crowd.

  The horse seemed courageous, with its head held high, even if it was put on a simple bridle, it didn't prevent it from turning its head and looking around.

  The blood of the horse is not pure, it has a taste of Quarter, a little Arabic meaning, and even some small characteristics of Andalusian horses. In short, it is a mixed blood horse at a glance.

   It can attract Jian Heng's attention not because it is tall, but because this horse is very similar to Jian Heng's first horse. When Jian Heng worked under old Anders, the old man taught Jian Heng how to ride a horse, and then asked Jian Heng to choose his own horse from the horse herd in the ranch.

   Jian Heng, who had a special desire for tall horses, chose the tallest black horse in the entire ranch, named it Nightingale, and Jian Heng rode it for two full years.

  It's a pity that good things don't last long. In the winter of the second year, Nightingale suffered from a plague. There was really no way to do it. Finally, he had to be euthanized on the advice of a veterinarian.

Two years of living together day and night, in the morning before dawn, Jian Heng rode it to drive the cattle to the pasture, and did not ride it back to the shed until the stars and the moon were in the sky at night. Except for sleeping, Jian Heng has been in contact with him for the longest time. The living creature is his own horse.

  Two years later, to Jian Heng, Nightingale is no longer just a horse, but a family member, a relative!

   When losing him, the pain in Jian Heng's heart was indescribable.

   Now seeing this mongrel horse, Jian Heng suddenly felt like a nightingale was reborn, and in an instant, the eyes of the tall dark horse in the field seemed to notice Jian Heng.

  One person and one Malu looked at each other, and there seemed to be a voice in Jian Heng's heart saying: It belongs to you!

   Jian Heng said softly: "Yes, it is mine!"

   After speaking, Jian Heng sat back down again.

   The two sisters, Da Mai and Mai, got up and were about to leave. Seeing Jian Heng sitting down again, they asked, "Why didn't you leave again?"

   "Look again!" Jian Heng's gaze was fixed on the tall dark horse in the field.

  Barley and Wheat followed Jian Heng's gaze to see the black horse, and then sat back.

   "It's too high!" said Barley.

Generally speaking, a horse with a shoulder height of 1.6 meters for ranch is already considered tall. This guy's shoulder height is almost 1.745 meters. This height is a little bit short for people who want to climb on the horse's back without using tools. are difficult.

   "The proportions of the body are also a bit strange," Xiaomai also commented.

  The body of the horse is indeed strange, it seems to be slightly longer than the average horse.

  Jian Heng said: "A strange horse naturally has a strange state!"

   He said it confidently, but Jian Heng knew that he was talking nonsense, and he knew that he liked this horse only because it had the shadow of a nightingale, but Jian Heng couldn't help but defend it when he heard what Mai said about it.

While the three of them were talking, filming had already started on the scene. The horses were generally good, and many people were interested. After a few rounds of snatching, only the **** horse that Jian Heng liked was left. No one bid.

   "Six hundred!"

  Jian Heng stretched out his arm, signaling the horse to take the six hundred dollars. Although there are some shortcomings here and there, this horse is still a good horse, and the price of six hundred dollars is not overestimated.

  The cowboy at the auction yelled twice, looked around, asked a few questions, and no one offered a higher price.

   "Six hundred, that's good, the gentleman is six hundred, it's done!"

   Before Jiaozi could say anything, a guy stretched out his hand.

   Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand at the guy who was still very small, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a big black-framed mirror, and looked like a nerd.

   Jian Heng couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw it, and said in his heart: Damn, you want this horse to have hair, look at your head is not as high as the horse's belly!

   "Six hundred and forty! This gentleman is out at six hundred and forty!"

  The auctioneer wanted to say a few words to encourage Jian Heng to pay, but who knew that the one who just raised the price just stretched out his hands and kept dancing in the air.

   "No, no, I'm not bidding, I'm greeting my friend." The man pointed to the west entrance while speaking.

  The nerd's out-of-voice elicited a chuckle from the arena.

   Standing at the entrance is a young girl, she is very beautiful, the outline of her face is a little stiffer, her mouth is so big, she looks a bit like JuliRoberts, an old famous brand in the past. The clothes worn by the beautiful people are even more exaggerated, with belts and backless, and small pants on the lower body. It seems that it is not easy for these things to cover the buttocks.

  Seeing this, Jian Heng said in his heart: No wonder this little nerd is so excited all of a sudden!

  The nerdy words made the auctioneer a little confused, but soon Jian Heng explained the dimension to him, and stretched out two fingers, meaning to add twenty by himself.

   Originally, no one bid, but now Jian Heng directly won the **** horse at 660, which happened to be a 660 or 60.

After buying it, Jian Heng saw that there were not many dials in the back. Guan Jian was that the two sweepers didn't mean to stop at all. Jian Heng felt that he didn't need to waste any more time, and he still had time to go professional. Take a look at the racecourse, I really have to wait for the big auction to come to Marion to take a look.

   Just as Jian Heng got up with barley and wheat and was about to walk to the east exit, a staff member ran quickly to the bottom of the elevator, waving the paper in his hand.

   "Here is some new news. Some horse owners are late. If you are interested, you can wait a little longer. More than a hundred horses are coming one after another."

   As soon as Jian Heng understood, this group of ranchers saw that there were two stupid big heads rolling here, so they immediately brought over horses that they didn't need at home to try their luck.

   "Look again?" Damai looked at Jian Heng and asked.

   "We'll take another look if you want to buy it".

  Wheat heard the words and said: "Forget it, these horses are not very good, I think we should bring the horses from home."

Snapped!

  Jian Heng clapped his hands happily when he heard it: "That's a good idea!"

   "Black Hearted Boss, by the way, you seem to like that black crossbred horse quite a bit. Have you thought about a name, or should I think of one for it now?" Wheat continued.

  As soon as she heard that she was going to name her horse, Jian Heng immediately shook his head a few times: "Forget it, what's so good about the name Denver, it's so sloppy that it can't be any more sloppy!"

   "What name do you think of?"

   "Black Bean!" Jian Heng's mind flashed, and the horse's name blurted out.

   Originally, he wanted to continue to borrow Nightingale, but when he thought about what would happen to Nightingale, he decided to change his name to a very common one, so that the horse might live a long and healthy life.

   "Hush! What does this mean?" The two sisters repeated a few words, looking at Jian Heng with a confused expression.
