Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 520 Talking about money hurts feelings
After hearing what Wang An said, Uncle Amba subconsciously looked at Uncle Kuma.

Uncle Kumar, however, was looking at the horses around him with a smile, and didn't pay any attention to Uncle Amba's eyes at all.

So Uncle Amba reluctantly withdrew his gaze and immediately said with a smile:

"Okay young man, this is my second time helping someone choose a horse."

Wang An heard this and said with a smile:

"Well, we don't know much anyway, I'm relieved to leave it to you, haha."

Although the Oroqen people are very honest and simple, and do not like to play tricks, it does not mean that they do not understand the ways of the world, nor does it mean that they are stupid.

You have to know that there are actually very few fools in this world.

When many people evaluate others, they say this one is stupid or that one is dumb, not realizing that they are just kind or they just don't bother to play tricks.

And your so-called cleverness is nothing but a clown in the eyes of others.

However, although Wang An was indeed being clever, he definitely would not be offensive.

Because Wang An’s attitude is, no matter what kind of horse you choose to sell to me, I will accept it! Everyone just needs to act according to their conscience.

As he spoke, Uncle Amba picked up the bridle and reins on the ground and joined the herd of horses.

It can be seen that although there are a lot of horses, Uncle Amba has a pretty good understanding of the situation of each horse.

After one round, Uncle Amba picked out six horses.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Amba gave two horses to each of Wang An and the other two.

When handing over the reins, Uncle Amba also said:
"These six horses are all 4 or 5 years old and are experienced horses."

The meaning of "几岁口" actually means how many years of age the horse is.

Normally, the way to tell a horse's age is to look at its teeth.

However, when examining teeth, we are not checking the number of teeth, but rather the degree of wear on the cross-section of the teeth.

Simply put, the longer the teeth and the less wear on the cross section, the younger the horse is.

Conversely, it means the older the horse is.

Of course, although this skill of determining age by observing teeth sounds simple, it is not difficult to learn.

However, if you want to determine the exact age, you need enough experience, and you definitely cannot learn it in a short period of time.

Wang An took the reins and was in a very good mood.

Because the six horses that the three people are leading now, although they were selected with the help of Uncle Amba, they are also six of the horses that Wang An had already chosen.

Wang An replied with a smile:
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Amba."

After hearing Wang An's words, Mu Xueli and Wang Li hurriedly thanked Uncle Amba.

To be honest, although these six horses are all good, Wang An still feels a little regretful.

Because these six horses are all castrated, they can only be used but cannot reproduce offspring.

Wang An touched the horse's head and asked with a smile:

"Uncle Amba, how much are these six horses?"

Before Uncle Amba could answer, Uncle Kumar said with a serious face:
"Go back first, let's talk about it later. Don't talk about this here."

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask anything. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Yeah, let's talk about it when we get back. Let's talk about it when we get back."

When the five people and six horses left, Uncle Amba shouted a few more times at the herd, and the horses in the herd dispersed.

To be honest, this scene looks quite shocking.

Because Uncle Amba whistles, the horses will gather around him. This is not difficult to do, because almost all domesticated livestock or poultry can slowly develop this habit. It is nothing more than making a fixed sound when feeding them.

But it is not an easy task to make all the horses disperse with just a few words.

The most important thing is that there are still quite a few foals or two-year-old horses in there, and they are not very willing to obey.

When they returned to Uncle Amba's house, there were two more people there, two old men about the same age as Uncle Kumar.

According to Uncle Kumar, one of them is the clan leader, or team leader, and the other is an accountant.

In fact, there are basically no secrets in a village. That is to say, many things, once known by someone, will be known by everyone in the village in a short time.

It can be seen that both the captain and the accountant were very happy about Wang An and his two companions coming to buy horses.

Maybe it's really like Amba said, the feed needed to feed the horses is no longer affordable.

After the pleasantries, they started talking about the price of the horse.

It was not until then that Wang An realized that there were bad people among the good people.

And no matter how honest the people around you are, there will always be one or two people who are very shrewd.

However, this kind of cleverness is very disgusting!
Just as Wang An asked with a smile:

"How much does our horse cost?"

When the captain, Mr. Kumar, and Mr. Amba were silent, the accountant immediately spoke:

"Our horses are all 800 yuan each, and you have six horses in total, so that's 6 yuan."

When Wang An heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately. Mu Xueli and Wang Li were also stunned.

Even Uncle Kumar and Uncle Amba were stunned by the accountant's words.

800 yuan, this is truly a sky-high price!
We have to admit that the Oroqen horse is indeed very practical for mountaineering, because riding it in the mountains not only saves trouble but also increases safety.

But security has its limits.

Besides, even if there were no Oroqen horses, there was no delay in doing all the work in the mountains.

And the best local horse is only worth 500 yuan at most, and this price is already the ceiling.

And 800 yuan, for a gelding! At this price, it's really too hard.

Wang An suddenly didn't feel so strongly about buying the horse back.

The main thing is that there are a lot of horses at home, although it is really not as good as riding those horses in the mountains.

But to be honest, it can be used and does not affect your riding.

So, Wang An put away the smile on his face, and bargained directly without any mercy:
"400 yuan, 800 is too expensive, how can it be priced at 800 yuan?"

Logically speaking, a well-trained Oroqen horse could be worth 500 yuan at this time.

But even at 500 yuan per horse, it can be said to be the highest price.

But at this point, relationships and feelings have to be put aside.

I have to say that talking about feelings costs money, and talking about money hurts feelings.

Hearing Wang An's disdainful tone, the captain quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Batu, you are going too far. How could you do that?"

Then, the captain said to Wang An:
"Young man, there is no Oroqen horse for 400 yuan, how about 600 yuan?"

When Wang An heard this, he said in a very calm but firm voice:
"450, one cent more, I won't buy it!"
