My village can't be like this

Chapter 672 Horse King
Zhang An did what he said. He said a word to Master Qi and turned back home. Without even entering the house, he went straight to the pen to lead Dahei out.

Then he picked up a few nylon bags at the door, prepared the saddle and went to Mr. Zhang Qi's house.

There were still quite a few pedestrians on the road, but it was late in the afternoon and the sun was so strong that many people went to the lotus pond and the mountains, so the village did not seem crowded.

Zhang An rode his horse past on the street, and Dahei still had the proud demeanor of a horse king.

Some villagers saw so many people coming to the village, many of whom were going to the mountains, so they led their own horses out to pick up the passengers.

At this moment, several villagers happened to meet Zhang An with their horses carrying their customers.

Dahei was just harassed by a few desperate goshawks on his nose, and he sneezed involuntarily.

Although the noise did not sound very loud to humans, the horses around were so frightened when they heard it that they trembled with fear and almost kicked their hooves, almost scaring the passengers on horseback.

If it were a normal day, when these horses wanted to play with their hooves, their owners would at most stand farther away and ignore them, just waiting for them to finish playing.

But that was not possible now. Their horses were carrying guests from outside, and they certainly could not let them go crazy.

So they had to tighten the reins and firmly restrain their own horses, while also constantly comforting them.

Fortunately, these horses are relatively docile. After all, who would dare to take out a stubborn horse to carry passengers? Not to mention whether you can make money or not, but if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

They were all domestic horses that had been raised for several years, so they were quickly pacified by their owners.

"Zhang An, hurry up and take your Dahei away first."

After calming their own horses, several villagers who acted as grooms turned around and rolled their eyes at Zhang An.

They knew clearly why their horses were frightened. It was entirely because Zhang An's big black horse was here.

So he could only stand at the edge, leading his own horse, and let Zhang An take the big black horse away quickly.

Otherwise, if the big black horse had been following behind them, these horses might not have dared to move forward.

After all, the majesty of the horse king is not something that ordinary pack horses dare to offend.

"Okay, uncle, I'll leave now. If I had known you had brought the horses here, I would have waited until you were far away before coming out."

Zhang An smiled awkwardly and quickly walked to the front with Dahei in his hand.

He was still wondering why these horses were so scared.

When I walked up and took a few looks, I found that these were all blind date candidates who had been kicked by Dahei before. I guess they had been left with an indelible impression at that time, so it's no wonder that they were so afraid.

"Please don't be afraid. My uncle's horses are very docile. They were frightened just now because of my beast. I'm here to say sorry to you all."

When Zhang An led Dahei to the front, he turned around and apologized to the tourists on horseback.

Mainly, he was worried that the tourists on horseback would be frightened and then misunderstand that the horses in the village were very aggressive, which would cause unnecessary trouble to his uncles.

After all, this was all caused by his own horse, so as the owner he must be responsible for cleaning up the mess.

"It's okay, it's okay, but your black horse does look quite fierce. No wonder it scares the other horses."

The people riding on horseback were probably a family. When they heard Zhang An's apology, the man who looked like the head of the family smiled back.

Although he didn't know Ma very well, he didn't doubt Zhang An's words.

After all, the big black horse looked not only much taller and more powerful than the pack horses they were riding, but it also had an aura of looking down on the world that made it easy for people to feel. This was not something that an ordinary horse could possess. It was obvious at first glance that it was a good horse.

However, he was not excited about the sight of prey and had no intention of riding it.

On the one hand, the dark horse didn't look like an easy person to deal with, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Another aspect is that they have rented horses.

This time I went horseback riding just for the experience, so it didn't matter whether I rode a good horse or an ordinary horse.

After apologizing, seeing that the people on horseback were quite understanding, Zhang An felt relieved and took Dahei to Qi Ye's house.

After Zhang An left, several pack horses, led by their owners, slowly walked towards the back of the village.

One of them was a little boy, about six or seven years old, staring at Dahei with his eyes wide open.

Children usually like the most powerful things, whether they are people or animals.

Although he was almost frightened by the frightened horse just now, his eyes were deeply attracted by Dahei afterwards.

"Dad, that horse is so tall, but it looks fierce."

Only when the big black horse's butt was out of sight did the little boy speak to the man who had just spoken to Zhang An.

"Yes, it is very fierce, so the horses we ride are so afraid of it. I never thought that there would be such a good horse in this mountain."

Seeing that his son seemed to be reluctant to finish what he was saying, the man smiled and continued.

"Haha, not only that, but there are three of them, all of them are from their family."

The villager who was in charge of leading the horse heard what the man said, so he turned around and said with a smile.

"Oh? There are actually three more. Logically speaking, this kind of horse should only be found on the grassland. And even on the grassland, you can see it whenever you want."

Hearing what the villagers said, the man frowned and shook his head, saying with some disbelief:
Although he didn't know much about horses, he knew that good horses were hard to come by.

How could there be three of them appear at once, and in such a mountain village.

"You're right. One of the three horses in their family was bought on the grassland."

Almost everyone in the village knew that Dahei's wife was bought by Chen Ze from the grassland specifically for Zhang An.

Because many of them who have mares at home have always wanted to breed with Dahei.

It was not until later, when Dahei refused to accept a mare from the village and they learned that the big stallion already had a wife, that they gave up.

But before, they couldn't understand why someone would be willing to spend so much money to buy a horse and transport it all the way from the grassland.

Not to mention that the horse itself is expensive, the freight alone for such a long distance is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In the end, the only thing I can think of is that there is too much money to spend.

"Oh? Could it be the black horse just now?" The man raised his eyebrows when he heard it. It would not be surprising if the black horse was bought from the grassland.

But he felt something was wrong, as the man just now seemed to be leading a horse to carry something.

If they really spent such a huge price to get it from the grassland, they would never be willing to use it like this.

"That's not the case. The one we bought from the grassland is a mare. It's only a little shorter than the black horse. It's also all black, except for a circle of white hair on its four hooves. I heard that it cost a lot of money to buy it specifically to be the wife of the black horse."

Although the villagers have never seen any documentaries about fine horses, they also think that Dahei's wife is really good-looking.

"A black horse treading on the snow..."

When the man heard the villagers say this, these words immediately flashed through his mind.

"So what's the origin of this black horse?"

The man asked again, his curiosity already piqued.

What kind of horse is it that would make people travel so far and spend so much money to find a mate for it, and it must be the famous black horse that can walk on snow in history.

"This black horse was bought by Zhang An's father from a gambler nearby for several hundred dollars. You may not believe it, but it was a skinny pack horse at the time, even skinnier than our horse and not as tall. When they bought it, they just wanted to raise it as a pack horse. I don't know why, but it grew so tall and strong in less than a year."

It was rare to see a guest who loved chatting so much and was so peaceful, so several villagers also started chatting freely.

"At that time, when we saw their black horse, many people in our village thought about bringing their horses over to breed, so that they could have a better foal. But guess what? The black horse has a very bad temper. It doesn't care whose horse it is. If you get close to it, at least you will get kicked a few times. After a long time, the boss who built a hotel here has a good relationship with Zhang An. He bought the mare with four white hooves to be its wife. The next year, which was last year, it gave birth to a foal. Although it is still a little tender, it looks no worse than the black horse. It must be a good horse too."

Several villagers joined in a conversation and started chatting with the family on horseback, and almost stripped Dahei clean.

After hearing this, the man couldn't help wondering if this black horse was the offspring of a good horse that was picked up by someone who didn't know its value and was raised as a pack horse.

However, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dwell on it. After all, he wasn't a horse lover, so he just treated it as some topic of conversation.

On the other side, Zhang An came to Mr. Zhang Qi's house and prepared to move the bitter rapeseed in the old man's main room out and put it in bags.

"Zhang An, it's very troublesome to change them all. They are just a few bags. You can just carry them back like this. When they are empty, I can come back to get them."

Master Zhang Qi called Zhang An and said that all the rapeseed in their family would be sold to Zhang An. As for the ones left for themselves, they had already put them in the warehouse.

"That's fine too. I'll copy it when I get back and give it back to you, Master Qi."

After hearing what Master Qi said, Zhang An didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The reason why he brought his own bag was mainly because he wanted to check the rapeseed in the bag when he changed the bag.

Moreover, these days, for farmers, these nylon bags are an indispensable part of the home, and they can count them exactly how many there are.

As for why Mr. Zhang Qi didn't want to change the bag, it was probably because the rapeseed in it was not of good quality and he was afraid of being discovered.

Zhang An was not worried about this. After all, they were all neighbors in the village and would see each other every day. If such a situation really happened, he would be scolded by the villagers. It would not be worth it just for such a small amount of money.

"Why would you send it here? Just leave it at your house and we can pick it up when we pass by one day."

Their fields are all by the river, so they must pass by Zhang An's house often, which is a convenient thing.

Then, Zhang An grabbed bags of rapeseed and put them on the scale to weigh them.

This scale belongs to Zhang Laosan. Just now when Zhang An went back to get the horse, Zhang Qiye ran over to borrow it.

After weighing, Zhang An roughly calculated it, and then said to the old man: "Seventh Master, Seventh Aunt, the total is 502 kilograms."

In order to make the two elderly people more clear, he took out his mobile phone and used a calculator to calculate.

"Then let's hit 500 kilograms."

Mr. Zhang Qi didn't look at it carefully, but nodded and said that he knew that Zhang An would not bother him about this.

"No, no, no, it's not easy for you two old people to grow some land, so this is the amount you deserve."

Zhang An shook his head and refused with a smile when the Seventh Master and the other elders offered to round off the remaining amount.

After all, it is very hard to work in the fields at such an old age. As a young man, it is much easier for him to make money than the two old men, so he takes what he deserves.

Moreover, he was the one who did the weighing just now. Every time when breeding, the scale bar was pulled flat, and he didn't take any advantage.

Regardless of what the Seventh Master and his elders said, he took out the money, counted out five hundred and twenty-seven and handed it over.

The two elders couldn't convince Zhang An, so they had to give up.

That night, someone from the village came to Zhang An again and said that he wanted to sell some rapeseed.

When Zhang An heard this, he naturally knew that his uncle had already asked in the village for him, otherwise it wouldn't have happened so quickly.

On the one hand, he was marveling at the uncle's speed, and on the other hand, he accepted everything that came his way.

By the next day, there were several families of villagers who came to sell rapeseed to Zhang An.

However, the amount of rapeseed they wanted to sell was not as much as Zhang Laosan and Qi Ye's families. Basically, it was only about 100 to 200 kilograms.

In just two days, Zhang An received a total of 1,500 kilograms of rapeseed, so he announced that he would no longer collect any more.

On the second day after harvesting the rapeseed, Zhang An called Chen Ze over to discuss the division of the rapeseed.

Even if these 1,500 kilograms of rapeseed do not produce oil, we can still produce more than 300 to 400 kilograms of oil, which is already a lot.

"Just tell me how much you want, and the rest will be mine."

Zhang An thought that after sharing it with Chen Ze, there should still be a lot left, but he was not worried about squeezing out too much oil.

After all, there is space, so it is impossible to spoil it.

We have extracted so much rapeseed oil this year, so we will have plenty of money to fry something to eat in the future.

"Sure, since you collected so much, I'll take 1,000 kilograms, and the remaining 500 kilograms will be yours."

Chen Ze was very satisfied when he saw the rapeseed piled up like a small mountain. He said it out without even thinking about it.
