Rebirth of the Super Landlord

Chapter 16 Buying a Horse

Because he was going to buy a horse today, Su Zhen got up very early, but it seemed that he always got up so early. He called Liu Ru and the others, and after washing up, the servants had already prepared breakfast according to Su Zhen's instructions yesterday.

After Su Zhen finished his breakfast, Liu Ru and the others hadn't come down yet. He secretly sighed that women are really troublesome, and went outside alone.

A few cowboys have already gotten up and are repairing the warehouse and the machines inside. After the repairs are completed, they will start preparing fodder for the winter. It is already relatively cold in Illinois in October, and the entire pasture is foggy in the morning.

Old John had already prepared the car he was going to use, and he was just waiting for Su Zhen and others to get ready before they could set off.

"Are you ready to go, BOSS?" Old John asked when he saw Su Zhen coming over.

"I'm ready, but ladies, you understand~" Su Zhen shrugged helplessly.

"Of course I understand." Old John smiled knowingly.

"What horse is better for us to buy?" Su Zhen didn't understand this and asked Old John.

"As for the horses, since they are used in pastures, there is no need to pay any attention to them. Just a pinto, a mustang, etc. For better ones, you can use a quarter, or a Falabella, which is very suitable for bossing you." Old John said with a smile.

"Oh? Is there anything special about this Falabella?" Su Zhen was very curious, but Old John smiled and said nothing, which made Su Zhen feel itchy.

Su Zhen and Old John chatted for about half an hour before they saw Liu Ru and the others walking over laughing and joking.

After exchanging a few words, everyone finally set off together around 8 o'clock.

The place where I bought my horse was a horse farm that Old John had contacted. The animal husbandry industry in the United States is still very sophisticated. Basically, every ranch raises cattle, and raising horses means raising horses. Generally, except for a small amount of meat livestock for your own use, there is no way to buy horses.

Mixing several animals together is inconvenient in terms of epidemic prevention. Secondly, mixed breeding in large quantities is not good for the animals themselves. It can easily lead to territorial fights, chaos, and poor meat quality.

.

Old John contacted the largest horse farm near Harvard, but before going to the horse farm, Old John drove to the town of Harvard because he had to buy horse gear for Su Zhen and the others before buying the horse.

When they arrived at the saddlery store, they saw a wide variety of saddles, riding boots, cowboy hats and other saddleries of various colors, which made Su Zhen and the others a little at a loss.

Old John said hello to the shop owner, who was a middle-aged white man. Under the shop owner's introduction and Old John's explanation, Su Zhen and others had a preliminary understanding of horse gear, at least they would not be confused by what the horse gear was for.

Awkward.

Finally, with the help of Old John, each of them chose a pair of handmade harnesses. Su Zhen also bought several sets of machine-made harnesses in case guests came over in the future. Seeing how Su Zhen bought so many, it was very exciting.

The owner of the harness shop was very happy and gave the girls many beautiful trinkets on the harness before leaving.

After buying the horse gear, Old John drove everyone to the racecourse. The racecourse was a bit far away, and it took more than an hour to drive from the town.

"Hey, Hans, this is my boss, Sue, this is Hans, the owner of this racecourse. Hans's horses have been in the top three in the Kentucky Derby." Hearing Old John talk about his great achievements, Hans

Si smiled from ear to ear.

Su Zhen knows a little about this. Many people who don’t know the United States will think that football and basketball are the most popular sports in the United States. In fact, this is not the case. The real national sport in the United States is baseball. In fact, this can be seen from

As can be seen in Hollywood movies or American TV series, baseball bats are the most frequently seen sporting goods, but are they also a common murder weapon?

Horse racing is the most popular sport after baseball, followed by rugby. However, rugby has a sense of catching up from behind, and in later generations its status has been elevated to the same level as baseball and horse racing. As for the NBA? In fact, basketball is the most popular sport in the United States.

The status in my heart is not as good as that of ice hockey. The reason why the NBA can become world-famous in later generations and become the world's basketball mecca can only be said to be Stern's success in global business operations of the NBA.

It is no small honor for Old Hans to be among the top three in the Kentucky Derby. After all, the Kentucky Derby is one of the three major horse racing events in the United States.

After chatting for a while, Su Zhen and others entered the racecourse under the leadership of old Hans. After entering the racecourse, more than a dozen cowboys drove thousands of horses of various colors galloping on the pasture. Su Zhen truly felt what it means to be a horse.

Horse galloping.

Of course, the horses they bought could not be selected from this huge herd. Instead, they arrived at a large stable, where dozens of cleaned and newly grown horses had been prepared for Old John to choose from.

At this time, Su Zhen was still thinking about what Old John said about Falabella, so he asked Hans.

Hans had a weird look on his face when he heard Su Zhen ask Falabella. When Su Zhen looked in the direction Hans pointed, his face suddenly darkened. Old John suppressed a smile and explained to Liu Shihua, who was very curious, what he had done before coming.

After the conversation between him and Su Zhen, the three women couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It turns out that Falabella is indeed a very famous horse in the world, but its fame lies in its body shape. It is the smallest horse in the world, with a height of only about 40 centimeters and a weight of only 10 kilograms.

It is about the size of some medium-sized dogs. It is more often used as an ornamental dog and a children's pet. But what Old John said is right. To some extent, it is indeed very suitable for today's Su Zhen.

In this regard, Liu Ru very much agreed with Old John's suggestion. Su Zhen could start by riding this kind of pony. After he became proficient in riding, he would switch to a bigger horse. For the sake of his son's safety, he completely ignored Su Zhen's stubborn resistance.

I finally bought two very beautiful Falabella horses.

After the joke, with the help of Old John, Liu Shihua chose a maroon Kuat, whose red coat was very beautiful, Rachel chose a golden horse, and Liu Ru chose a red and white horse.

Among the black and white pinto horses, they all picked docile mares at Old John's suggestion. After helping the girls select them, Old John picked 6 quarter horses and 6 wild horses as pasture horses.

During the period of Su Zhen, he saw some very beautiful horses in an area, and asked Old Hans. It turned out that these were Arabian horses. Since they were just ordinary hybrid Arabian horses, the prices were not high. Su Zhen selected the most beautiful horses from them.

There are two beautiful horses, one black and one white. I thought to myself, isn’t it Prince Charming and Prince Dark? I have both colors. I can ride whatever color I want.

Since the racecourse will send the horses to Su Zhen's pasture, Su Zhen and the others do not need to transport them themselves. After selecting, they are ready to say goodbye to Old Hans.

But before leaving, Old Hans asked Su Zhen if his ranch needed cattle dogs. He happened to have a litter of Caucasian dogs that were just one month old.

Su Zhen became interested as soon as he heard this, so he went to take a look with Old Hans. He saw a litter of 6 puppies pushing each other and sucking milk. They were very cute. Liu Rusan and her daughter immediately became very maternal.

, the ownership of these 6 puppies was instantly decided.

The price of six purebred Caucasian dogs is not cheap. The total price is even higher than the price of the previous horses. However, Su Zhen himself also likes large dogs like Caucasian dogs, so he doesn't care about these. In Liu Ru

After the check was issued at the start, Su Zhenjiren said goodbye and left the racecourse.

Since it was getting late, they decided to have dinner in the town before going back. The three girls strolled around the town again. By the time they returned to their ranch, it was already past three in the afternoon.

When they returned to their pasture, the horse farm had already sent the horses to the pasture. Little John and the other four had already selected their horses and were trying out the horses on the pasture. They also played a few tricks from time to time. The three girls Liu Ru and Liu Ru were very excited to see them.

He was yelling and screaming, and he couldn't wait to start learning to ride a horse.

Anyway, when they had free time, everyone started one-on-one horse riding teaching. After Old John came back, he went back to his room to make some ranch management plans. The remaining people, Little John taught Liu Ru, Jason taught Liu Shi and painting, and Bei

La taught Rachel and watched the three of them ride tall horses with the help of the cowboys. Su Zhen, who was ordered by Liu Ru to only ride ponies during the learning period, could only practice pitifully on the pony with Grace accompanying him.

Helpless, Su Zhen could only divert his attention and listen carefully to Grace's teachings.

Grace is a native of Harvard. Her father is the tavern owner in the town who recommended Old John to Su Zhen. She was also a famous local cowboy when she was young. However, when Grace was still young, she broke her leg in a rodeo competition.

, and then opened a cowboy tavern in the town. Grace inherited the family business and became a cowboy. Although Grace is older, she is only 19 years old this year, but she is already a very skilled cowboy.

Grace is not tall, and Su Zhen is only about 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection. The current Su Zhen can just reach the opponent's shoulders, but she is very energetic and heroic. She is not very beautiful, but she has a slim figure, just like Rachel.

Not inferior to her, and coupled with her wheat-colored skin, which may be due to years of sunlight, her whole person has a unique youthful vitality.

Although Su Zhen was a little dissatisfied with having to ride a pony, after riding it for a while he felt that the pony was very obedient and docile. Under Grace's guidance, Su Zhen was soon jogging on the grass on the pony.

At this time, the three women were still holding the horse's rope with the cowboy, struggling to communicate with the horse and trying to get the horse to move.

The only thing that made Su Zhen regretful was that the pony's speed made him dash his idea of ​​riding a galloping horse. Moreover, the pony's physical strength was obviously not up to par, and he was exhausted after sitting for an hour.

The leisurely days passed quickly, and it was November in the blink of an eye. It was already winter in Illinois. Under the arrangement of Su Zhen, Liu Shihua entered the local high school in Harvard and began to experience American life that was completely different from that in China.

Education. During this time, Su Zhen studied the management of the ranch with Old John and made plans for the future. Rachel served as Liu Ru's personal assistant, managing the family's financial work and serving as a Citibank employee.

Liaison person Liu Ru spent her free time crazily absorbing all kinds of common sense and knowledge about this country.
