Chapter 36 Buying a Horse
"Doctor Chen, where are you going?" An electric tricycle stopped beside Chen Ming, and Yang Chengwang poked his head out of the car.
"Go to the brick factory to check it out, buy some bricks, and build a cow pen. I'm going to buy the buffalo from Uncle Ma Qinghan's house." Chen Ming stopped.
"What are you buying cattle? Now you have to use a tiller to plow it, and raising cattle is not worth it." Yang Chengwang hurriedly reminded.
"I'm going to plant some food, but my paddy field is not open to the road, and the harvester and tiller cannot enter." Chen Ming said.
"Doctor Chen, come on, I'll take you there." Yang Chengwang got out of the car and set up the wooden boards in the car.
Chen Ming nodded and climbed into the car. He had a car to sit, so Chen Ming was too lazy to walk.
"How do you move it back after you buy bricks and transport them to the Dasan Valley ping? Use your shoulders to carry it?" Yang Chengwang was a little worried for Chen Ming. In his impression, Chen Ming had never done any heavy work. It is not an easy thing to pick up so many building materials now.
"What can I do if I don't have to choose? There is no way." Chen Ming naturally didn't want to treat himself as a cow, but the conditions did not allow it! The ancestor urged him every day, and wanted to use Chen Ming but the cow and horse.
"The Luo Wancai family in Dachong Village is similar to yours. His family built a new house. If the road is not accessible, he bought a horse and carried all the materials back with a horse. Now that his house is built, the horse will be useless. You can buy his horse. This saves a lot of effort. Moreover, if you build a new house in the future, the horse will be useful." Yang Chengwang gave Chen Ming an idea.
When Chen Ming heard this, he immediately became interested. Since he wanted to raise cattle, it would be better to raise horses. He would not have to be a cattle or a horse.
"You must, Uncle Yang, please ask me and see how much the horse costs."
"Okay. Luo Wancai and I used to recognize Lao Geng. If I said I would buy it, he would definitely not pay me a high price." Yang Chengwang took the initiative to take this matter on himself. Of course, it was because Chen Ming saved his grandson's kindness last time.
"Okay. Uncle Yang, I'll ask you for this matter. I'll buy bricks, cement, river sand and other materials today, and I'll use them when I'm waiting." Since you can buy a horse, Chen Ming doesn't want to use his shoulders to pick it. Moreover, using horses to carry it, it's much more efficient. Use your shoulders to pick it up to more than 100 kilograms in one trip, and you can carry it at least 500 kilograms in one trip, and you can carry it at least 500 kilograms in one trip. I was going to pick up materials for a week, and you could carry it all to your house after a day or two.
"Okay, I'll contact you now." Yang Chengwang was also worried that it would be too late to contact, so Luo Wancai had dealt with the horse early.
Yang Chengwang took out an old man's cell phone from his pocket, flipped through the number, and found Luo Wancai's phone number from it.
Chen Ming did not have a cell phone. In this era, there were not many people of his age who didn’t have a cell phone. However, Chen Ming felt that he really couldn’t use a cell phone. He didn’t have to ask others anyway, and he was always begging him. Meishan Navy is very proud and never took the initiative to deliver it to his door. He always asked others to come to him. Therefore, Chen Ming still has no cell phone, and anyone who wants to find it has to go to his house.
Chen Ming has never used a mobile phone, nor has he tasted the sweetness of a mobile phone, nor has he WeChat or QQ. Even if he has a mobile phone, it is not very useful. If he shakes people nearby, he will most likely be a group of old men and old ladies.
After Yang Chengwang finished calling, he smiled on his face: "Luo Wancai said that his horse has not been sold yet, and this thing is not easy to sell. Now cement roads are built everywhere. Buying an electric tricycle like me is much better than raising a horse. Every time he uses it, he just plugs in the electricity. He doesn't have to take it out to eat grass every day or feed food. Unless it is like your situation, no one wants it. If your house has a road, buy a three-wheeled electric bike like me, and you build a cow barn, you don't have to call a car at all, just drive a tricycle to the brick factory to pull it."
"Then have you told him that I want to buy this horse?" Chen Ming asked.
"I said it, and he said I brought it with me and would definitely give the lowest price. In fact, he wanted to take action immediately. I heard that their family would soon have a road. From now on, the road in our village will be the worst. Alas! Ma Jingui is so ignorant of human resources!" Yang Chengwang couldn't help but scold Ma Jingui again.
Because of this, the whole village would have to scold Ma Jingui for his eight generations of ancestors whenever he went out.
"Doctor Chen, then when are you going to buy a horse? I'll take you there." Yang Chengwang said.
"Uncle Yang, are you free today? If you have time today, I will buy the horse back first. Before the horse is mature, I will buy it back first for a few days." Chen Ming said.
"If you have time and time, I'll take you there now. I'll call Luo Wancai." Yang Chengwang took out his cell phone from his pocket again. The cell phone was the kind of button-type old man's cell phone, which was bought for him by his son. The sound was very loud and Chen Ming could hear it clearly without voice-over.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chengwang said, "I agreed that he is at home. Dr. Chen, you haven't purchased a mobile phone yet? You still have to buy one. Now you are not expensive. You can buy a smartphone that you young people use for a thousand yuan. You will have to buy it in the future, but you won't have a mobile phone."
"Well, let's talk about it after the work is over." Chen Ming thought to himself, "I'm not fooled. I'm going to buy a mobile phone to cause trouble for myself. I'm afraid it's more troublesome than a mobile phone when I get married. Before the marriage, the men in Chashu Village were like grandpas, and after getting married, they all became grandchildren.
Dachong Village and Chashu Village are forks on the same rural road. After walking on the Chashu Village road and entering the rural road, not far away, you can enter the village road of Dachong Village from a fork. Originally, the two villages were adjacent, but there was no road in the middle, so you had to go around the rural road by driving an electric car.
The road from Dachong Village to Luowancai New House has not been repaired, but construction has started and should be opened to traffic by the end of the year. Once it is opened, his horse will completely lose its function. Not only is it useless, it is a big burden. It has to be released every morning and evening, and someone has to take care of it. In winter, it has to be fed food. After Yang Chengwang said that someone was going to buy it, Luo Wancai was eager to sell it immediately. He tied the horse to a jujube tree in front of the door early.
Before Chen Ming and Yang Chengwang could reach Yang Wancai's house, they saw the horse from afar.
This horse is not a good horse of good descent, and it is not used for too expensive horses. The horses used for work in rural areas require great strength and endurance. The horses are not very tall and their fur color is not very good. In addition, they are not very useful, and the Luo family is not very careful in taking care of them. Therefore, this horse looks a little thin and lonely.
"How did this horse become like this?" Yang Chengwang frowned. He was worried that Chen Ming would not only not be able to do the job if he bought it, but would become a burden.
