It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 34: The bridle shakes the iron bit and treads on the plain snow (please read and collect)
"You bastard, look at how hard you beat the horse..." Sun Jianping stroked the scars on the horse's body from being whipped by the whip, and scolded Director Hu who had turned into a pestle. He turned around and glanced at Lao Chengtou, who was holding the fodder, and quietly He took out a handful of black beans from his pocket and handed it to the big black horse's mouth.

The big black horse's bright black eyes suddenly shone brightly!

Wow!

There are even after-dinner snacks!

On the other side, when the bay-red horses and others saw that the comrade of the horse-herds secretly started a small stove for the new arrival, they immediately stopped working, and they all screamed and protested to him!
Why do newcomers get so much preferential treatment!

We also want preferential treatment!

"If you keep making trouble again, I won't let anyone make trouble!" Sun Jianping couldn't laugh or cry as he scattered the remaining black beans into the manger and walked to the bay-red horse. The bay-red horse bit his sleeve, like a jealous little boy. He pulled it towards the stable like a child, and at the same time looked at the big black horse with provocative eyes, which seemed to be warning it: The stable boy is ours, please stay away and fan him!

"Okay, be obedient!" Sun Jianping pulled his sleeve out of the horse's mouth, wiped the saliva stuck on it, and pinched the maroon horse's ears, "You are the most naughty!"

The bay horse barked and put its head into his pocket again, trying to find something delicious.

"Jianping, come and help me!"

Old Cheng waved to him, and Sun Jianping patted the grass in his hands and walked over. When he saw the old man pulling out a box from under the cabinet, he looked curious, "Uncle Cheng, what is this?"

"Saddle." Old Cheng glanced outside, "When I was young, I would go to Duolun to buy it. It cost twenty oceans!"

As he spoke, he picked up a belt and wiped it with a rag soaked in water. The copper nails on the rag were moistened with water and suddenly shone like gold.

"At my age, I can't ride a horse to conquer the world. That big black horse is quite decent. You put this saddle on it, tsk tsk...it's such a good horse with a good saddle..."

The old man held his cigarette pipe in his mouth and looked at the big black horse outside through the half-open door. He also thought of the white dragon colt he rode when he was traveling in the world.

"Uncle Cheng, I'm so sorry. How could I ask for your old things in vain..."

"This kid talks foreign languages!" Old Chengtou suddenly became angry and glared at him, "You can take it if it's given to you!"

Sun Jianping had no choice but to reluctantly accept the old man's kindness. After cleaning and wiping the saddle, stirrups, whip, bridle and even the bell, he pulled the big black horse, like a handsome young man dressed up for a blind date. Put it on.

The big black horse turned its head, looked at the saddle buckled on its back, weighed its buttocks, raised its hooves, and signaled the horseman to do the whole show and change the horseshoes!

"I almost forgot about this!" Sun Jianping grabbed the horse's hoof and took a look, right? Director Hu only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't know how to serve animals at all. The nails on the horse's shoe were all worn out, and the iron palm was shaky, and he dug it with his hand. Just fell off.

"Uncle Cheng, can you tell what breed this horse is?" Sun Jianping picked up the pliers, pulled out all the remaining iron nails on the horse's shoe, and asked the old man.

"This horse..." the old man squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, "it looks taller than the Baicha Iron-hoofed Horse, has longer legs than the Uzhumuqin Horse, and its fur is smoother than the Ushen Horse..."

Sun Jianping didn't expect this old man to name several types of horses at once, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He was indeed an experienced horse farmer with many years of experience, and he knew the breeds, appearance, and personalities of horses very well!

"This is a Jilin Nong'an tiger-headed horse. We don't see it very often." The old man took out a magnet and sucked up all the broken iron nails and pieces of iron that fell on the ground to prevent them from being accidentally eaten by animals and piercing their stomachs. He said leisurely, "Look at its big head, with the head of a tiger and a tiger's head. There is also a strip of white hair between its eyebrows. All horses with tiger heads look like this..."

"Then this kind of horse..."

"This kind of horse is amazing. It is tall, has long legs, can run fast, and has a good temperament. The key is that the horse is alert and sensible..." The old man praised the tall horse bought for 100 yuan without hesitation. Sun Jianping went up and down. Looking at this handsome horse, he nodded again and again.

Judging from the size alone, this tiger-headed horse is much better than other horses. As the so-called strength is worth it, this kind of horse is also better than other horses in terms of riding and working.

It's a pity that there is only one now...

"It's still a three-year-old horse. Wait until next spring and let it be bred to all the wild horses in the pen. Maybe it will give birth to some good foals." The poor big black horse, even his love has been arranged by the little old man. It has to be clear.

Sun Jianping burst into laughter.

"Since it's the horse you brought back, it's up to you to shoe it." The old man smiled and patted Sun Jianping on the shoulder. Sun Jianping didn't give in. He first took out a piece of paper, lifted the horse's hoof and pressed it on it. , then cut it out with scissors according to the imprint on the paper and set it aside.

He imitated the old Chengtou, picked up the hammer, and started hammering. After a while, a horseshoe in the shape of "Ω" came out. He took the piece of paper, compared it, trimmed it, and then The horseshoe is sent into the furnace to be tempered and drilled...

There was a stabbing sound, and a puff of white gas came out of the blacksmith shed. The horseshoe was ready. Let's measure it on the horseshoe. Hey!
Just the right size!
Old man Cheng has a smile all over his face. He deserves to be a well-educated man. He is more sophisticated than us old-timers!

The old man was not busy nailing the horseshoes, but picked up a sharply polished sickle, held the horse's hoof in his arms like he was giving a manicure to a big girl, and used the sickle to carefully sharpen the cuticles on the soles of the feet until the horseshoes were trimmed evenly. , smooth and translucent, then he picked up the already cool horseshoe, pressed it on it, grabbed a handful of nails and clamped it between his fingers, took the small hammer handed by Sun Jianping, jingled, and the sharp nails were inserted diagonally. Through the cuticle of the horse's hoof, the head emerges from the edge.

After a while, eight nails were neatly hammered into the horseshoe. Old man Cheng took the pliers, shortened the exposed nails, bent them, and smoothed them with a file.

The big black horse lowered his head and watched the old human man grooming his hooves, squinting his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

The horse kills the chicken!
Cool!
"Jianping, watch carefully. These blue lines are the blood lines of the horseshoe. Don't drive nails in, otherwise the blood will jump out..." The old man lifted up the other horseshoe, flattened it with a sickle, and took it away. Press the beaten horseshoe on it, flip your wrist, and a nail will hit the horseshoe. After a few jingles, it will be nailed directly through the horseshoe and pop out from the other side.

Sun Jianping moved a small bench and sat aside, patiently and carefully watching the old man shoeing the horse. As a horse herder, these are basic skills that he must master.

Horse hooves have round front hoofs, pointed back hoofs, and different widths and thicknesses, so each horseshoe must be tailor-made so that the horse feels comfortable.

"Try it!"

The old man finished nailing three horseshoes, leaving one for him. Sun Jianping followed the same method, first repairing the horseshoes and making them flat, and then stickers and rubbings to make horseshoes.

The big black horse stood quietly in place throughout the whole process, cooperating obediently. When the last hoof was nailed, it raised its hoof and looked at it.

Pretty!

The big black horse was extremely satisfied with this brand new pair of horseshoes. He lowered his head and rubbed Sun Jianping's shoulder, and hissed to express his gratitude.

The newly dressed big black horse was circling in the stable with a proud look on his face, whistling constantly, as if showing off his new equipment to his companions.

When the harness worth twenty oceans was put on, the shiny copper nails were illuminated by the sun and shone brightly. Coupled with the tall horse's satin-like shiny black hair, the big black horse's appearance improved several times. A grade!

Instantly become the most handsome cub in the stable!
Da da da!
The big black horse kept tilting his head, looking at the shiny harness on his body, and nodded at Sun Jianping, as if he couldn't wait to go out and show off!

"Go for a walk!"

Old Cheng tugged on the girdle of the saddle to test the tightness. After confirming that everything was in place, he helped Sun Jianping get on the horse and handed him the reins.

"drive!"

The seventeen-year-old young man rode on a tall horse, stepping on the snowflakes on the ground, and galloped in the autumn wilderness. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the heroic figure of the young man running wildly on the prancing horse, and heard the clear and sweet ringing of bells in his ears. My thoughts go back to that era of ironclad warfare.

　I love horses very much. When I was a child, my family had a yellow gelding. It was tall, mighty and handsome. Now I sometimes dream about it.

　　Please read and collect, thank you!
