Chapter 241 Saddle

After Han Miaomiao and his wife ardently sent them off, Zhang Taiping and the three returned to Zhang's courtyard.Zhuang Yu didn't leave, but followed Wang Peng back to her newly built house. He heard from Wang Peng that the newly built house was still very humid inside, so if Zhuang Yu came these days, he would stay at Wang Peng's house all the time. , and did not dislike the environment.Zhang Taiping thought about it, it seems that she is really interested in this place and intends to live here permanently.

Zhang Taiping shook his head to temporarily dismiss these things, but he remembered one thing he had forgotten these days, that is, he didn't prepare a saddle for the horse, so he was not afraid when he was riding, but it was inevitable that there would be some The guests also want to ride. It is always dangerous and prone to accidents without a saddle installed. He can't just protect every rider.

When I think about it, I think about it, but where to find the saddle is a problem for a while.Zhang Dashuai's former cronies might have a way to get the saddle, but Zhang Taiping didn't want to mix with those former bastards.

He picked up the phone and thought about it. Yang Wanli's father is the secretary of the district committee. Although he can be said to be the prince of the district, he has been in school. After leaving school, he also started a garden business. The thing, presumably also would not know where to find the saddle.After thinking about it, a Maitreya-like smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind, it was the fat Huang Jun.This fat man looks harmless to humans and animals, and he has a smiling expression all day long, but he has a wide range of friends from all walks of life, so maybe he can really get two saddles.

I found Fatty's phone number and dialed it. As soon as I got through, his trademark hearty laughter came over: "Haha, why is Brother Zhang calling me today when you have time?"

"Hehe, I'm begging again."

Fatty Xiang pretended to be angry and said, "What do you want? Tell me what you want. If you can do it, you will never refuse."

"Then see if we can get a saddle?"

"Saddle?" The fat man paused. "Have you got the horse?"

Zhang Taiping hummed and said, "I went around the grassland some time ago, and not only brought back a few horses, but also a wild Tibetan mastiff."

"Tibetan mastiff? What breed?" Fatty raised his voice when he heard that Zhang Taiping got a purebred wild Tibetan mastiff.

Zhang Taiping was silent for a while, and when the fat man couldn't wait to urge him, he said: "Ghost-faced Tibetan mastiff!"

"What? You're saying it again. It's really a ghost-faced Tibetan mastiff?" The fat man couldn't believe it when he heard it suddenly, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Why did you lie to me? Is it hard to lie to you that I can grow flowers on my face?"

"It's true, so tell me what this ghost-faced Tibetan mastiff looks like?" The fat man was a little itchy, and asked Zhang Taiping to describe the appearance of the ghost face.His reaction was not exaggerated. It would be strange for a person who loves big dogs to remain calm after hearing the news.

Zhang Taiping said: "Uh, let's not talk about this, it can't run away in my house, if you want to know more about it when you have time, you can come and watch it yourself. Let's talk about the saddle first."

"Hehe, I got excited and got off the topic. Let me think about it." After a while, he said, "I went through all the people in my mind, and there is no one who owns this thing. Wait a moment, I I'm calling and asking someone else."

Zhang Taiping replied: "Okay." After hanging up the phone and waiting for more than ten minutes, the fat man called.

"I'm sorry, brother Zhang this time. I asked a few people and they didn't have this thing. We don't have any grasslands in the Guanzhong area, which is not suitable for horses, so there are very few horses. Natural saddles That's less."

Although I am a little disappointed, I don’t blame anyone. It is good intentions for friends to help, and it is God’s will to fail. No matter whether you succeed or not, you should have a grateful heart and say: "It’s okay, it’s not a big deal. I’m telling others. Just ask."

"It's good that I don't blame my brother. Although I didn't help my brother, I have to be cheeky and ask my brother for help."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "What can I help with, just tell me."

"It's about the orchid we bought in the teahouse last time."

"Is that the sick petal lotus that you bought?"

The fat man hurriedly said: "That's right, it's this orchid. Although it was sick at the time, it was cured not long after I bought it, and then I gave it to my father-in-law. I didn't expect to get sick two months later. How did I cure it this time?" It can’t be cured. No, I heard that you rescued a Jingui plant that was sentenced to death by everyone in the world last time, so I want to ask you to help treat it.”

"Then I'll try, but I can't guarantee whether it can be cured." Zhang Taiping didn't seem to be too full of words, it's better to leave a little room for everything.

"Go ahead and try, it's already half-dead anyway, it's best if you can save it, if it can't be saved it's its fate, don't blame anyone." It seems that the fat man really doesn't have much hope for this petaled lotus plant, It is purely a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Zhang Taiping said: "Is that where I went, or what?"

Seeing that Zhang Taiping agreed to come down, the fat man said: "You don't need to trouble me, I just want to see what the legendary ghost-faced Tibetan mastiff looks like, and I will send it over later. Prepare the room and rest at your place tonight .”

Zhang Taiping also laughed and said: "I will never let you sleep in the open when we come here, good wine to entertain you!"

"Haha, it's just what I want. I heard Yang Wanli and the others say that you are a master at brewing wine yourself. The wine you brew is rare in the world. I have long wanted to taste it." The fat man said happily after hearing this.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Taiping frowned, now there is no way for the fat man to get a saddle, it seems that he will not be able to get it in a short time.But he still didn't give up and called a few people he knew, and the results were similar.

"Master, master?"

Zhang Taiping suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and saw the old village chief calling out to him at the end of the three-meter drive, the grimace was beside him, and the old village chief didn't dare to approach him.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping had regained his senses, the old village chief asked, "What are you thinking about? I was so engrossed in thinking that I called you a few times and there was no response."

Zhang Taiping shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's about the saddle. I searched many people but couldn't find the saddle."

Hearing that it was a saddle, the village chief smiled.

Zhang Taiping felt something strange, and asked, "Where is the old uncle?"

The old village head smiled and said, "I haven't."

"What is the old man laughing at?"

"I laughed at you for riding a donkey to find a donkey."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Taiping really didn't know where there was a donkey for him to ride.

The old village chief laughed and said, "Old man Qian used to raise horses in his early years, so he must have a saddle there. Don't you know?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head, although he had learned carpentry from old man Qian for two years, but he really didn't know about it.Now that I know where I can find it, I am not in a hurry, and asked: "What's the matter with the old uncle, let's go into the room and talk about it."

The old village head shook his hand: "No, I just came here to ask a few words, and then I will leave."

"What?"

"Do you think the village should divide the money or use it to build roads?"

Zhang Taiping said without hesitation: "Of course it is to build roads." No one understands the role of roads in the development of a place better than him.

"Okay, I see." The old village chief turned around and wanted to leave. "I'll ask everyone in the village to see how much they support, and then make a decision at a meeting." After speaking, he left.

After the old village chief left, Zhang Taiping also left the yard and headed towards Old Man Qian's house.

"Is Uncle Qian there?" Zhang Taiping called out from the door.

Old man Qian came out from the inside and said, "Master, come in quickly." As he walked inside, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from the old village chief that you have a saddle here, come and have a look." Zhang Taiping replied.

"That's it, you wait here for a while." After finishing speaking, he took a ladder and climbed up to the upper compartment of the house. Most of these old-fashioned rural houses have a compartment on the top of the house, which is used to put some wooden and lightweight items. farm tools.Old man Qian rummaged on it for a while and found two things, which were saddles.

After standing on the ground, he patted the dust on his body and said: "This is the saddle, but it has not been used for a long time, it is a bit worn out, and some places have been bitten by the old man, besides, I have seen your two horses , one of the black horses has a different build than normal horses, it is much bigger, and ordinary saddles don't fit well. I have remodeled and repaired these two saddles."

"Okay, then what is the money?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Money? I don't want money, I'll just give it to you." Although old man Qian is surnamed Qian, he is not greedy for money, and has no intention of making a lot of money with this.

"That can't be done, you can't take it for nothing."

Old man Qian said with a straight face: "I don't raise horses now, so it's useless to keep this thing here. It's just what you need, just take it. Is it possible that I can keep it and bring it into the coffin? If we talk about it again I'd rather burn them in the pot for money."

Zhang Taiping was speechless, he opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go and do it first, I will fix it and send it to you as soon as possible." Old man Qian directly issued the order to evict the guest.

"That's troublesome." Seeing this, Zhang Taiping stopped talking about money, turned around and left the yard.

When I got home, Cai Xiaomei had already returned with her classmates, and they were sitting together eating watermelon and chatting about what they had seen and heard from today's trip.After Zhang Taiping came in, they greeted him one after another.

He also took advantage of the opportunity to sit by the side and talk for a while.Except for Cai Xiaomei, they immediately asked Zhang Taiping on twitter. In their eyes, Zhang Taiping was a very magical person, and he kept many kinds of animals at home.
