Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 171 The Mountain Donkey

Wu Weiguo felt sorry for his daughter, so he entered the house after one o'clock in the afternoon and started to process the fish. Gao Lijuan also entered the house to boil water to pluck the goose.

Old Wu stopped working, so Wu Hao went to the front yard to get Mr. Er to exchange horseshoes. He is not only good at pigs, but also good at repairing horseshoes.

"This horse is quite strong, but it's a pity that it's not made for farm work." The second gentleman looked at Heifeng and said, "The fur is shiny, you didn't feed it lightly."

"Feed cornmeal every day, and sometimes add fodder to it at night, as long as it can pull a cart, I don't expect it to do anything else."

These days, Wu Hao has paid a lot of attention to Hei Feng, the horse has no night grass and is not fat, and Hei Feng often exerts his physical strength.

He is really willing to spend money to feed.

Mr. Er asked curiously, "Where did you buy it? How much did you spend?"

Wu Hao said truthfully: "It was exchanged for a gallbladder."

"That's inappropriate!" Mr. Er frowned and said, "Although this horse pulls a cart powerfully, it's definitely not worth a penny."

"Give me a price difference of more than 200 yuan." Wu Hao didn't tell the truth, and there was no need to tell others about ginseng.

"That's about the same." Mr. Er nodded, and said, he picked up the rope and tied Heifeng's right hind leg to the barn post.

Wu Hao didn't say that the horse doesn't need to be tied, it's better to be careful, if it kicks someone, it will be hurt, but Heifeng kicked the wild boar with one kick.

Mr. Er stretched out his hand to grab Hei Feng's front hoof, Hei Feng just shook and didn't jump, he lifted the front hoof with a little force.

He smacked his lips: "This horse is really honest, I wonder if it will kick."

Wu Hao said with a smile: "You stand behind and kick its basket, and I promise you will go to the room."

"I'm not a tiger!" Mr. Er rolled his eyes, and took out a flat spatula for repairing horseshoes, a spatula for polishing horseshoes, a small hammer for nailing nails, and horseshoes from his satchel.

Lift Heifeng's left front hoof first, pull out the old horseshoe, and use a flat spatula to carefully trim the horseshoe little by little.

Wu Hao helped hold the horse's hooves by the side. Horseshoeing is a technical job, and he doesn't want to do this kind of job at all, let alone learn it.

In the future, when a farm is built to raise cattle and sheep, there will be many people working, and he is responsible for making money and paying for it.

Mr. Er polished the horseshoes evenly with a file, picked up the horseshoes to compare the size, chose the right one, nailed them with nails, and polished them. The four horseshoes were all nailed in more than an hour.

Hei Feng snorted and took small steps to get used to the new horseshoe.

Mr. Er observed the black wind for a while before nodding in satisfaction, put away the tools and said: "I went to the village and heard that the Erdao dealer said that he wanted to buy mountain donkeys, and the male ones were two hundred."

"Two hundred is a bit small, I don't want to catch it." Wu Hao shook his head, there are many second-hand dealers, and the prices for small-time dealers are not high.

Don't look at two hundred as half a year's salary, but the number of musk deer is really not much.

Because musk is valuable, the musk of pure wild musk deer in later generations can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per gram.

The price of musk is also not low now, because it is valuable, so many people catch musk deer.

In today's era, there are more musk deer in the south, but in the entire Northeast, it is as scarce as the sika deer.

Only the adult male deer has musk, and the musk is in the sachet under its crotch.

And some bad-tempered male roe deer will self-mutilate and eat the sachet with their mouths when they encounter danger or are captured alive.

Catching such a person is a waste of time.

Fragrant roe deer can also be raised for musk, and camphor deer are easy to feed, just like silly roe deer, just plant some trees in a pasture.

Wu Hao disliked that the price was too low, and if he caught it, he might as well raise it himself. Erdao dealers also bought it for others.

The second gentleman originally wanted to make some money along with him, but now that he doesn't go, he still can't catch him, let alone force him, so he said with some regret, "If you don't want to catch him, forget it."

The child is very curious, Xiaodoubao is thinking about eating fried fish, and wants to show Matthew's hoof, so he heard them talking in the barn.

Probe into it and ask: "Is the donkey good?"

Mr. Er knew her well, because this girl didn't dare to go to the ground after beating her son for two days, so she felt a little distressed.

He turned his head and said intimidatingly, "Children are delicious!"

Xiaodoubao looked at him like an idiot: "Are you lying to a child?" Then he gave him another look: "Your son Li Erbai is also a child, second him!"

She stopped Mr. Er, Wu Hao said with a smile: "Go into the house to eat, I will talk about it later."

"What do you eat with a horseshoe?" Mr. Er waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Why are you polite? Come in."

Hearing Wu Weiguo's voice, Mr. Er went out of the warehouse and entered the house after turning a corner. He was being polite just now.

Craftsmen have to take care of the food when they work in anyone's house, and they have to greet them with hard dishes.

Xiaodoubao has clear grievances and grievances. She annoys Li Erbai, but not Mr. Er. She enters the room, steps on the bench and lifts the cabinet cover to get him a bottle of drink.

Mr. Er put down his drink and washed his hands to help make dumplings. When the food was ready, he went to the kang and squeezed between Wu Weiguo and Xiaodoubao.

The purpose is to stay away from Wu Hao, fearing that he will be drunk and unable to get up for another two days.

Wu Hao loves to eat steamed dumplings. The dumplings made at home are half the size of his fist, which are about the size of small buns.

Xiaodoubao ate two dumplings and a small fried fish. When the elder brother picked on him, she was in charge of eating.

This time I got what I wanted, Mei kept shaking her head, children like to eat chicken drumsticks most, and she was no exception.

The goose leg was already cold after eating, so she grabbed it and gnawed it. Even if the goose meat had been stewed for a long time, it would still be difficult for her little deciduous teeth to bite down.

Especially the skin under the thighs is very strong, she can still eat fat meat and meat skin, and when she competed with that piece of skin, she tilted her head and bit down hard.

Wu Hao didn't help her tear it open either, the goose leg he was holding and gnawed had a soul. When he heard the dog barking outside, he went out to help watch the dog.

Aunt Zhang and the two sisters-in-law who were walking down the street took the children to watch TV, and they came almost every other day.

Aunt Zhang was an exception, she came every three days.

Xiaodoubao was competing with the goose legs. When she saw her enter the room, she sneaked a glance and squinted at her.

"Sit down quickly." Gao Lijuan beckoned them to sit down and asked, "Have you eaten yet? Don't pretend, serve what you haven't eaten."

"It's over, it's over." The loudspeaker waved his hand, and the three of them nodded along. They had a good relationship and wanted to drop by after dinner.

Gao Lijuan knew that they had finished their meal, so she had to let it go. Today's dish is too hard, and the children must be greedy.

She went down to the ground and put a small table on the kang, and put dumplings and goose in a small basin for the children to sit down and eat.

Four children always come, and two of them are real relatives. They don't pretend at all, and they eat goose meat when they sit down.

The loudspeaker hit the back of his son's head: "Eat after eating at home! Why are you so greedy?"

Little brat, just bow your head and eat.

"Let the children eat." Gao Lijuan stopped Da La Ba, her daughter had eaten at other people's houses, and Da La Ba had given her delicious food.

As soon as she persuaded, several people couldn't stop them, so they sat on the edge of the kang and started chatting.

Xiaodoubao changed tables to sit with the children, and the more they ate, the more delicious they became. She was almost full, and seeing the four of them devouring the meal became more exciting.

He tore the meat off the goose leg vigorously, and made a sound of protecting the food, and kept "humming" from exhaustion.

Aunt Zhang heard it and turned around and said, "The movie yesterday was really good."

Xiaodoubao knew she was talking to her, so she didn't even look at her, biting the goose leg and said vaguely: "I have a TV at home."

"How can there be a good movie on TV?"

The child pouted: "Then you still come to see?"

Aunt Zhang was not convinced, she changed the subject: "If I were a rich man, I would definitely buy a projector."

The eldest brother said that the projector cost thousands of dollars, so she definitely couldn't buy it. She was not stupid at all, and turned around to show her back: "You want to lie to children? I won't be fooled!"
