Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Chapter 213: Donkey: The Ride (5)

Perhaps because it was the New Year, there was almost no demand for hoof trimming among the cattle and horse dealers in the market.

The vast majority of the fish traded are raised specifically for meat dishes, and the hooves also account for weight. If one pound is missing, one pound less profit is made.

Tang Chao walked around twice, but no one greeted him. He knew that he had probably wasted his time today.

He has never missed the twice-monthly market in the past few years, just to save a few more dollars for his retirement.

After all, bosses like the cattle farm owner who are generous and quick to pay are really rare.

Alas, it’s a pity to think about it. When he went to repair the cow’s hoof that day, he actually forgot to take a video.

It may be that the condition of the cow's hooves is so disgusting that it easily makes the audience feel uncomfortable.

Oh, forget it.

Fans urged him to start live streaming, no matter what he did, otherwise every time he remembered to update the video, he would often be teased by fans -

[I’m going to tell my great-grandfather that the big star he used to follow finally remembered the vibrato password! ]

Such enthusiasm really made him ashamed, and he racked his brains to make some unique and good works.

But...business is hard.

For a job like hoof trimming, getting orders depends almost entirely on luck and a good reputation accumulated over the years.

Before noon, half of the trucks parked in the market had left.

Nowadays, all transactions are paid for by mobile phone. The payment is made in minutes. Once the payment is received, the back panel of the truck is unloaded, and the handover is completed when the cattle and sheep are driven from one side to the other. Then, the truck is driven away by simply stepping on the accelerator.

It’s nothing like before, when it was so lively and the security guards on patrol were terrified, fearing that a dispute would arise in some corner.

Both the buyer and the seller brought enough people, and there was also a dedicated person responsible for watching the cash box.

Well, it's just like those gangster bosses in TV dramas who bring a large group of bodyguards and henchmen with them when they do business.

Beef is the best-selling dish, followed by lamb. After all, these two pieces are the highlights of hot pot.

The horses didn't neigh too often, but they were not as quiet and obedient as cows and sheep. They kicked and stomped in the truck compartment, as if they wanted to stamp a hole in the iron sheet under their feet and break it into pieces.

[Grandpa, that white horse is so majestic! Should it be able to carry me?!]

Tang Xiaobao has not yet started reading martial arts novels, but he also has a dream of being a hero. He even thinks that Afanti riding a donkey in the cartoon is super awesome.

[Heh, do you know why the white horse is so restless? ]

[Ah?! Restless?! Really?! Why didn’t I see that?!]

Tang Xiaobao blinked, reluctant to take his eyes off the strong and tall white horse.

[That's a stallion, used for breeding! ]

Tang Xiaobao: Grandpa, I’m only eleven years old…

When Tang Chao said this, he also remembered the age of his eldest grandson. Unfortunately, he couldn't take it back. There was a hint of embarrassment on his face. It must be because he had no income today and his emotions suddenly got out of control.

The white horse that the grandfather and grandson were talking about was indeed a stallion, with its fifth leg pointing straight and obliquely at the ground...

I don't know what the boss fed it before it left. Maybe he wanted to show the landmark to the buyer to increase his bargaining chips.

You can earn several hundred dollars each time you match it. It is a no-cost business, so the seller must show the cost to the seller.

Even if the buyer is not interested, it will be fine as long as the mare is moved.

Although Tang Xiaobao was a little shy, he was still very curious. He couldn't get access to these things in school, and he was worried about what kind of business he would do to make a living in the future.

In the past, he wanted to be a big boss like his father, but big bosses have to attend social events every day and drink with other big bosses until late at night. It's so tiring...

He also wanted to learn from his grandfather how to trim hoofs. It cost ten yuan to trim one hoof, and it wasn't too hard to trim a hundred a day. That would make a thousand yuan a day, which would be thirty thousand yuan a month. He could never spend it all.

Tang Chao: Boy, if it is really as you think, I, an old man, will definitely teach you all the unique skills passed down in my family!

[Ah~Ah~Ah~]

Wow, I'm so envious! Suddenly I recalled the happy days when I was a stud bull many, many lifetimes ago.

|?p? )?Oh, look, a little mare is being put on the truck. The buyer is scanning the seller’s payment code, and the two of them are touching their heads, as if they are bargaining.

The seller shook his head like a rattle. This was his opening business of the day and he couldn't give a discount, absolutely not. It was a bad omen.

Tang Chao pulled the reins, but the donkey couldn't be pulled away, just like a steel bar that had been hammered into the ground.

Tang Xiaobao stared at the big white horse he admired so much as it slowly approached the young mare, circled around and rubbed its ears, then urged the young mare to move forward a few steps to make room for it to perform well.

(*/w＼*)Oh, so embarrassing!

Tang Xiaobao covered his face with his chubby little hands, and between his open fingers he could fit two French fries, no, three!

Tang Chao slapped his grandson on the back of the head. It was not hard, just a crisp bang, like hitting a watermelon, a light punishment.

When he was eleven years old, he had already followed his father to raise cattle and sheep at home, and he had also witnessed many breeding activities.

Well, that's how it is. The more you hide it, the more curious the child will be...

Just let him observe it openly. If he gets stye, call his father back and take him to the hospital for treatment!

Seeing that his grandfather did not say anything to stop him, Tang Xiaobao simply stood in a row with the little donkey and continued to watch with his head raised.

The big white horse also knew how to be shy and adjusted its position.

Tang Xiaobao only saw the big white horse put its entire upper body on the thin and weak little mare, and he couldn't help but worry that the little mare would fall...

White smoke came out of the nostrils of both horses, as if they had intentionally thrown a smoke bomb, confusing everyone's vision.

And then, it was over...

Buyer: Huh?! That’s it?! Five hundred bucks?

Seller: Oh, why are you so disappointing? It must be because I delayed too long.

Little Donkey: Eh?! This is just for show, it's useless, my expression is wasted, withdraw it, withdraw it all.

Tang Xiaobao: Breeding means lying on the mare and breathing heavily? Oh, I understand.

Tang Dynasty: You know shit...

The buyer was not happy and pulled the seller's sleeve to ask him to return the money. With such a short time, if the items were not matched, wouldn't the money be wasted?

The seller was feeling guilty after all, as he earned his hard-earned money from the livestock. He also knew that if he failed, not only would he lose his money, but he would also miss the mare's estrus period and waste his time.

[Okay, let's just consider it as I've invited you as my friend today, how about buy one get one free? Don't worry, my white horse is a great breeder, and the foals born from it in previous years have all been very healthy, so you can rest assured! ]

The buyer then nodded, and the two of them each calmed their own horses.

The beasts are not so beastly. The second time, it will take some time to cultivate feelings and atmosphere.

Tang Chao pulled the reins tentatively, but the two little guys still refused to move.
