Chapter 370 Oroqen Green Horse

Chapter 370 Oroqen Green Horse

Hearing Lu Lu said that it could be considered, Chen Xiuqing suddenly became excited.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiuyu also said at this time: "Brother Lu, I want to go too!"

"what……"

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment: "If you go too, there will be no one to take care of so many things at home."

"Since I was a child, the farthest place I've ever been to is Yichun City, and I want to go out to see it too. I usually just listen to what you say, but I don't know what it's like outside." Chen Xiuyu said pitifully.

When she said this, Lu Lu couldn't bear to refuse.

In these days, many people live their entire lives without leaving home for more than a hundred miles. In such a deep mountain, it is even more difficult, especially for women.

They are all full of strong curiosity about the outside world, and wanting to go out and have a look is a lifetime wish of many people.

However, leading Chen Xiuyu on the road...

"We went all the way, and we can't walk a few places, so we went to Baoqing... After two years, when the conditions improve, I will take you out for a walk, how about it?"

Lu Lu thought for a moment, and then said: "Look, you are leaving with me. Who will take care of the bee farm? Who will feed those stupid chickens? There are also lynx cubs, those sika deer and roe deer in the meadow. There are daily inspections of the fence, and I don’t feel at ease if it’s someone else.”

"These things are very simple!"

Chen Xiuyu turned to look at Chen Xiuqing: "Brother, why don't you go, let me go with Brother Lu once, stay at home and help me take care of it? The matter in the meadow is very simple. Let me tell you, you I'll know it all."

Chen Xiuqing rolled her eyes at her: "Good idea!"

How could Chen Xiuqing miss such an opportunity.

"If you don't agree, don't regret it!" Chen Xiuyu looked at Chen Xiuqing seriously.

"What do I regret about this?" Chen Xiuqing curled her lips.

"I'm giving you a chance, you don't want it!"

Chen Xiuyu took a long breath: "There are so many hazelnuts and walnuts fermenting in the cellar, and I plan to ask Yanzi to help deal with it after Brother Lu and I leave. This is a rare opportunity to be alone. You Don't forget it."

Hearing this, Chen Xiuqing hesitated for a while.

He looked at Lu Lu, then at Chen Xiuyu, and scratched his head.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Lu couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Xiuyu was too good at catching pain points. The IQs of the brother and sister felt that they were not at the same level at all, and Chen Xiuqing was easily handled.

Leaving it to Chen Xiuqing to help guard it, Lu Lu felt relieved.

It's just to meet Lei Meng, not to go hunting, and it's not impossible to bring Chen Xiuyu.

Moreover, Lei Meng came here in person. He didn't see Lu Lu or Chen Xiuyu. He had been married here for a long time, so he led Chen Xiuyu to see Lei Meng. It was like visiting relatives.

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing and laughed: "Qingzi, how about you help me manage the house, I'm not going out this time to hunt, or to visit friends, and you are just running with me, if you stay... ...Aren’t there swallows, just looking for an opportunity to have a relationship, right?”

"But... I don't care about the bee farm either!"

After all, Chen Xiuqing was tempted.

"You don't need to take care of the bee farm. Just wear a gauze hat to prevent being stung. If you see a mine bee or something, just hit it. That lynx cub, look around when you have time, shoot pheasants, jump cats Come and feed, it's really not good, catch some fish in the cage in the river, or use the meat at home, this is a trivial matter for you.

The other thing is to check whether the fence is damaged or not. Just feed the flying dragon bird like chickens. Now that there are hazelnuts, you can add some hazelnuts in it. They like to eat...that's a trivial matter. "

Chen Xiuyu said a lot: "By the way, there is also the ordering field, just pour some water, what a simple matter"

"Fine!"

After thinking about it, Chen Xiuqing bit the bullet and agreed.

Chen Xiuyu burst into cheers.

"Okay, don't stand on the road stupidly."

Lu Lu smiled, and rode Chasing Feng back.

Brother and sister Chen Xiuyu also drove the carriage inside.

As soon as Yuan Bao entered the woods, he immediately ran forward, and when he reached the fence gate, several paparazzi had already gathered together, wagging their tails happily and barking through the fence.

It's like I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much.

Lu Lu went to the gate of the fence first, and jumped off Zhuifeng's back. As soon as he opened the gate of the fence, several puppies rushed out, circled around Yuanbao, and flopped around Lu Lu.

Habitually, after rubbing the heads of a few puppies, Lu Lu led Zhuifeng inside.

At the gate of the courtyard, he took off the saddle, shook his body after chasing the wind, and trotted into the meadow.

Opening the gate of the courtyard, Lu Lu put the saddle on the wall of the stable and hung it. At this time, Chen Xiuqing also drove the carriage into the courtyard.

While Lu Lu was helping to move the sacks of rice from the cart to the barn, Chen Xiuyu was busy with the lighter rice bran, which is a good food for livestock. If there was a shortage of food in the early years, it would also be the staple food for people.

It will take a few years for a remote village like Xiushantun to get electricity.

Lu Lu had thought about going to the city and buying a small hydroelectric generator, and using the water flow from the small river to generate electricity for lighting at home.

But right now, this small river is frozen for at least one-third of the time every year, and it doesn’t have much effect if it is installed. I didn’t have time to think about it before, and now I can only put it aside temporarily. If I want to use it, I have to wait Let's talk about this winter.

The mill in the village was left over from the production team period. There is a rice milling machine and a corn flour milling machine in it, which Zhang Shaofeng fought for after returning to the village after returning from the army. They are driven by a tractor head.

The noise of tractors and rice mills can be heard in the mill for 10 minutes, and the ears can follow it.

However, no matter what, it was better than leading a horse around a stone roller day and night in the threshing ground or in your own yard, and the speed was much faster.

As far as Lu Lu knew, Huilong Tun was much larger than Xiushan Tun, but they didn't have a mill, and if they wanted to mill rice quickly, they had to send it to the rice mill in the district.

Because there is Zhang Shaofeng's family living here, the people in Xiushantun have gained a lot of honor.

After the rice and rice bran were put into the warehouse, Chen Xiuyu returned to the house non-stop, busy making dinner.

Chen Xiuqing naturally stayed and waited for dinner.

Since he agreed, Lu Lu led him to see the bee farm and the flying dragons and birds, and went to the meadow to see the situation of the four roe deer and sika deer. The things explained again.

When he had just returned to the ridge opposite the cellar, Lu Lu heard the barking of dogs in the yard.

The two glanced down and found that it was Zhao Tuanqing who came back.

He rode a shaggy horse with a green one tied to the saddle.

"Papa Zhao is back from buying a horse, let's go down and have a look!"

Lu Lu greeted him, quickened his pace and walked down the fence.

When they reached the fence gate, Chen Xiuyu had already welcomed Zhao Tuanqing in.

"I bought the horses for you, and they are all six-year-old horses!"

Zhao Tuanqing didn't enter the house in a hurry, but led the two horses to the linden tree next to the cellar and tied them up: "You two choose yourselves, both are good gelding horses, just hanged out."

The Oroqen horse grows relatively slowly, and it usually takes six to seven years to complete its growth and development.

Usually, when you are three to four years old, you start to use the harness, mainly to carry some things.It can be used for riding when it is six to seven years old. The six years Zhao Tuanqing said is to tell Lu Lu that the horse has entered a good age for official use.

Breeding the horse can make the horse more gentle.

Chasing the wind is largely due to the lack of gelding.

However, with such a good horse, Lu Lu couldn't bear to be gelded.

Oroqen people ride good geldings in winter. This kind of horses are not ridden in summer. They are released in the wild for a summer and hung up in autumn (hanging fat). They only feed a small amount of concentrate and forage every day, and sometimes they even feed meat. Give some more water, and wait until the horse has oil in its stool before it can be regarded as hanging.

It is said that the purpose of hanging in this way is to make the horse have a small stomach, run fast, have great strength, and run without panting.

In this regard, the Oroqen people have their own particularities.

Everything is ready for winter hunting.

In Jiayin, there are many Oroqen people raising horses, but most people want to see the horses, and you can’t see them without the owner’s permission, which shows how much the Oroqen people cherish horses.

After all, after death, the coffin will be covered with horse skin. It can be said that the horse is a part of their life.

Lu Lu looked around the two Oroqen horses. According to his own horse selection criteria, there are many places in line, but there are also certain differences.

However, since it was Zhao Tuanqing who came out in person, Lu Lu of course chose to believe in Zhao Tuanqing. As an Oroqen native, he has a more unique vision.

"Qingzi, you choose first!"

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing with a smile.

Chen Xiuqing looked at Chen Xiuyu.

He knew that Lu Lu bought the horse for Chen Xiuyu to ride.

As an older brother, in front of his younger sister, he has always taken care of him: "Sister, you choose!"

"Why are there so many ink stains? Old Zhao said that both are good horses, so you can just choose one. You can choose one if Brother Lu asks you to choose. I just use it for riding, carrying some things into the mountains, and going to the district. It’s convenient to go up, but you want to go hunting on horseback.”

Chen Xiuyu gave Chen Xiuqing a blank look.Comparing the two situations, she knew the seriousness, not to mention, it was his brother.

Chen Xiuqing scratched her head: "Then I'll... I'll choose this horse that walks."

"Selected?"

Zhao Tuanqing asked.

"I've chosen, just this one, with better fur!" Chen Xiuqing nodded.

Zhao Tuanqing shook his head slightly: "Remember to send me the money, 160 yuan."

"I didn't bring it with me, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!" Chen Xiuqing laughed.

Zhao Tuanqing nodded, then turned to look at Lu Lu: "Your horse costs one hundred and eight!"

"it is good……"

Lu Lu nodded: "Father, go to the house to rest, we will have dinner soon, you have worked hard this trip."

"What's the hard work, I spent a few more days at some old friends' homes, and even went into the mountains to hunt roe deer once, just like playing." Zhao Tuanqing said with a smile: "It's much more comfortable than staying at home."

"Father Zhao, why is Brother Lu's horse so much more expensive than mine? It's obviously not as good-looking as mine..." Chen Xiuqing was a little puzzled.

It looked similar, but the price was 20 yuan higher out of thin air, and he knew in his heart that there must be a big difference.

"The color of the coat is the most expensive...Look at this blue-haired horse. The coat color is similar to snow. It is excellent for hunting, and it is not easy to be found by prey. If you choose first, you will not be able to choose." Zhao Tuanqing laughed: "In winter, there are only black and white in the mountains."

"Sister, can we switch?"

Chen Xiuqing, who reacted all of a sudden, looked at Chen Xiuyu flatteringly.

"No, you chose it yourself. What should you change? You just asked me to choose first. Brother Lu's dark horse, my green horse, I think it is very suitable! Besides, when it comes to winter, Brother Lu will also choose To hunt."

Chen Xiuyu didn't give him a chance, so she led the green horse and left.

"Brother Lu is chasing the wind!" Chen Xiuqing shouted.

"Couldn't it be better to ride instead?" Chen Xiuyu drove the horse directly into Caodianzi.

Seeing this action, Chen Xiuqing was taken aback for a while, and muttered: "Is this my own sister?"

"It's your married sister!" Lu Lu laughed.
