Chapter 320 Tongfu Village (2)
Qin Shuang adjusted to the surrounding smell a little bit, and said, "First look around to see if there are any good-looking horses."

The size of the county seat is not comparable to that of a nationally famous big city like Shengcheng, and this kind of livestock trading place can't expect to buy any thoroughbred horses, but at least they must be healthy and healthy. In order not to waste money, It is necessary to take a good look at each other.In her previous life, Qin Shuang often went to the racecourse to ride horses when she was free. She had some experience in how to look at horses, so she was not worried about being deceived.

Qin Shuang looked around first, and found that cattle were the most bought and sold, followed by donkeys and sheep. As for horses, he hadn't seen half of them yet.Around the end of the new year, many wealthy families in the city would prepare some non-vegetarian food. There were a lot of people coming and going on both sides of the road, and the sound of hawking and bargaining kept coming and going. It was very lively and extremely noisy.

After scanning around but not seeing anyone buying horses, Qin Shuang frowned and said to a group of four people: "This place looks pretty big, and it's too slow to find it like this. Let's divide into two groups and start from the two sides. The four of you Go to the left, Ah Chen and the others will go to the right, and if you find a horse seller, come back and let us know."

"Yes, master." The four of them bowed slightly to Qin Shuang and the others, and walked away from them.

"There are so many people buying cattle." Qin Tian sighed.

Qin Shuang said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the rich families will definitely buy some beef to eat. There are many rich people in the city, which is not surprising at all." Many of the people who came to buy cattle knew at a glance that they were servants and servants who came out to buy from the rich families. Only a few are estimated to be used to buy cattle for pulling goods, and they can also be used to plow fields in the spring, which is the best of both worlds.

Donkeys are also sold well, basically they are used to pull goods, and sheep are also sold a lot, but there are not many people who buy them. I think people here are not used to eating mutton with a strong smell, and they don’t know how to make mutton. Well, the taste is excellent, not to mention very nourishing.

Recalling the taste of boiled mutton, Qin Shuang couldn't help but licked the corner of his mouth, but quickly shook his head and continued to look for the horse seller they needed.After wandering around for a quarter of an hour, I finally found a place where five or six horses were tethered, but...

"These horses are not very thin, their coat color is not very good, and they are dull. You can tell that they are not well-raised." The crazy old man said critically.

When Ah Chen saw the wooden sign with the price on it, he even shook his head and said, "The price for this kind of horse is still 25 taels. Isn't this stealing money?" If it is fed well, it can be brought back. I am afraid that it is a sick horse or has other problems, so it will be a big loss to buy it back.It’s not too expensive to spend seven, eighty or even 80 taels on a good horse, but 100 taels of these things are not worth it.

Although he has no memories of the past, Chen still instinctively remembers how to judge whether a horse is good or bad. The crazy old man has a lot of knowledge and experience in traveling all over the world.Among the four people, only Qin Tian was inexperienced. Apart from being able to see that the horses in front of him were not well fed and they didn't have much meat on them, he couldn't tell anything else.

But it doesn't matter, if you don't know how to learn, Qin Tian is very modest in this regard.

The crazy old man also put his arm around Qin Tian's shoulders and patiently told him how to look for a horse. First, you have to look at the teeth of the horse to judge the age of a horse. Second, you need to look at the bloodline. Ninety-nine percent of the horses sold here are crossbreds. This one can be ignored.

Then look at the growth of muscles. A good horse has long and slender hooves, round front hooves, slightly pointed rear hooves, strong buttocks muscles, more developed hind limb muscles than forelimbs, longer neck, larger nostrils, and round, plump and shiny eyes. The ears are small and pointed, and the coat color is bright and shiny without looking dry. As long as it has the above characteristics, the horse will not be bad, and no matter how thin it is, it can be raised back.
