The Best Small Farm

Chapter 5 The $50 Quarter Horse

Hemostasis, disinfection, adhesive tape, rest for a while, Li Han regained his composure, the heartache made Li Han a little dizzy, after resting, he got up, poured a glass of milk and sat down again, talking to himself. "Is it too tired recently? It's just such a small scratch and such a big reaction. It seems that I will exercise more in the future."

After Li Han drank the milk in the glass, he remembered that the coat might be stained with blood and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome. Who knows how many times he looked through it, but he didn't see any blood. Li Han muttered to himself, what's going on. "What the hell." With a casual complaint, Li Han took out the meteorite fragments in his pocket and looked through them, feeling a little puzzled.

"No, why did the meteorite fragments change color?" The charcoal black fragments turned out to be fluorescent now, Li Han rubbed his eyes vigorously, it was rare that he drank too much, Li Han couldn't believe it. "It must have been stimulated by Chris today, and I drank two more glasses of dizziness."

Li Han complained a few words, decided to go back to the bedroom to sleep, threw the meteorite fragments aside, and turned off the lights. Li Han drank a few more glasses at night, and he was a little dizzy. It was an illusion.

Not long after Li Han fell asleep, the quietly fluorescent fragments suddenly became brighter, the fragments flowed like mercury, and the fluorescent light shone blood red, accompanied by the sound of machinery. ""Host selection, Milky Way 40988, Azure Star, Li Han, blood type O, genetic perfection 45, Almighty Shennong system match 10%, energy 5%, start the primary Shennong system. Vaguely, a white space appears, a piece of white sand, the dry spring in the middle is getting wet gradually, little drops of water come out, and glass-like fragments are scattered around the side. Li Han, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know about all of this. Li Han didn't know why, so he fell asleep when he was so tired.

Until the next day, Li Han was woken up by the ringing of the phone, rubbed his eyes in confusion, glanced at the number, and picked up the receiver. "Wei Li, it's so early, what's the matter?" "Morning? Han, it's already noon now, it's rare that you have been sleeping until now, God, Han, have you been infected by Black Bam?"

Hei Bamu is a breeding pig, and he usually does not only sleep but also breed.

"Noon?" Li Han looked up at the wall clock, it was almost twelve o'clock, could it be that he had slept for sixteen hours, it was impossible, Li Han was a little dizzy, it was too difficult to drink a barrel of beer yesterday. "Weili, I'm sorry, I couldn't send Harley off today." Li Han thought of Harley going to Seattle early this morning, and said a little embarrassedly, he seemed to feel very lucky in his heart, don't want to see Harry and Chris happy together.

"Han, I kind of hate Chris, damn it, is Harry wearing ink stains?" Wei Li was a little angry, of course not because of Li Han, but probably because of Chris, who was too proud, and Wei Li didn't like it. "Oh, shit, damn Chris, Han, there's some good news that Straw Hat Ranch has some foals for sale."

"God bless, Wei Li, come back, I'll buy you a drink." Li Han didn't expect news to come so soon. Last night Li Han mentioned that he wanted to buy a pony, and today he wrote it. Li Han hung up the phone, washed his face, tidied up, didn't dare to waste time, and drove the pickup truck to Xiaohuamao Farm. On the way, he bought a hamburger and a cup of coffee for lunch. It's a pity that we arrived at Little Flower Hat Farm one step too late, and the foals have already been sold out.

Kemixing Town is surrounded by farms mostly growing barley and sugar beets. Except for Xiaowang Farm and several large and medium-sized farms that raise a large number of livestock, there are probably only a few sporadic farms that raise horses. Of course, as long as they are rich enough to buy No, it's just that Li Han doesn't have much money in his hand, only enough to buy a foal, and it's not enough for a grown-up horse, unless he buys the worst. Li Han shook his head with a look of disappointment,

Some do not give up.

Li Han leaned over to old Monroe, wanting to ask if there were any foals for sale. "Hank, it's a pity that I can't help you." "It's okay, Monroe, I came late, what a beautiful little guy." Li Han looked at the three foals that had already belonged to the buyer, and sighed with regret. tone.

It was already afternoon when Li Han returned to town, and he made an appointment with Willie to visit another farm. "Han, damn it, Chris actually bought Uncle Marbury's pony yesterday, it's the most beautiful little guy in Comic Star." "Will, Uncle Marbury breeds the best Quarter Horse, I But not so much money."

Li Han was telling the truth, a good Quarter would cost at least a few thousand dollars, but Li Han didn't have that much money. "It's such a pity. Uncle Marbury raised Quarter with the blood of a champion." Li Han felt a little regretful in his heart, but thinking about his own situation, he had no other choice but to shake his head regretfully.

"Get in the car, the market may have what I need." Li Han planned to go to the trading market, which was only half an hour away from the town. As soon as Willie got into the car, he didn't stop complaining about Harry, Chris, I really don't know what Chris did to provoke Willie.

Li Han had to change the subject, chatting about the football game and barbecue party on Sunday, and the barbecue distracted Wei Li. There is a smile on the corner of Li Han’s mouth. Americans don’t like most of the dishes in Chinese food, especially salty and spicy food. There is no way that the eating habits are different. Most Americans like light taste, and the salt is only half of Chinese food, or even not added. Does not add MSG, prefers animal oil, and does not like oily smoke, unlike Chinese food cooked on high fire, often prefers raw food, and has no interest in soy products.

However, barbecue, sweet and sour meat, barbecue, and fried meat are more popular. Li Han's barbecue skills are the most famous in Kemixing Town. Every time Li Han holds a party, the must-have is barbecue. Willie and Mickey are loyal fans of Li Han. When Willie was talking about the barbecue party, the car approached the livestock market and parked the pickup truck. Li Han and Wei Li walked into the market. There are mostly cattle and sheep here, but not many horses. People choose to eat red meat once a week, and more people gradually start to choose white meat.

"Weili, let's go and have a look." Li Han saw a few white people talking around the stables in front, pointing at the bay red quarter horse in the stable from time to time, Willy nodded and walked over with Li Han. "Oh, God, Han, I'm blinded by a hundred-dollar quarter."

Wei Li was surprised, and shouted loudly, he couldn't believe it, Li Han was a little dazed, why is the price of Quarter so cheap, the bloodline of Quarter in front of him is very good, even Li Han, who doesn't know much about horses, can tell at a glance, It's just that the hair color is a bit dull, and Li Han's eyebrows are slightly frowned.

"Chinese."

"Wei Li, let's see again." Li Han is not interested in the pie in the sky. There may be something wrong with this Carter. Before Li Han knows the problem, he will not buy it impulsively, even if it is cheap. Wei Li felt a little regretful. Li Han shook his head with a smile and pointed to the middle-aged white men who were discussing the horse. These were all experienced cowboys or small farmers like Li Han. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this horse. Suffering from a strange gastroenteritis, the owner spent thousands of dollars to treat it.

It's only for sale, a hundred dollars, it's a half sale, half give away, just to buy a terminally ill Quarter, even if it's a hundred dollars, not many people are willing to pay. "It's such a pity." Weili spread his hands at Li Han regretfully.

"It's okay, maybe there will be a miracle." Li Han was a little tempted, it was too cheap, maybe the owner of the horse didn't plan to sell it at all, but just didn't want to see his beloved horse die in front of him. "Sir, fifty dollars, I bought it." Li Han found the owner of the horse and said, fifty dollars, Li Han is willing to give it a try, maybe there is a miracle, even if he loses, a horse hide is enough to make up loss of part of myself.

"God, Han, this is a sick horse." Wei Li could not help reminding, fifty dollars, even if it is cheap to buy a dead horse, it is a bit of a loss. "Fifty dollars? Alright." The middle-aged white man glanced at the bay red quarter horse in the stable and nodded slightly.

Li Han paid fifty dollars and led the horse out of the market, feeling a little confused about the power. "Han, do you have a way to cure this Quarter?" "Oh, no, fifty dollars, maybe it's a gamble." Li Han said with a smile, fifty dollars.

Sick horses, if people don't want to buy them for fear that other livestock will get this strange stomach disease, Li Han doesn't care. When we went back, Wei Li was driving a pickup truck, and Li Han was holding the Claret Quarter by the hand. There was only a name. Li Han felt that there was no need to get up now, maybe we will talk about it when there is a miracle.

Back in the town, Weili had already spread the word about Li Han's purchase of the sick horse. Many people couldn't believe that Li Han was a cautious person, how could he do such a stupid thing. But seeing Li Han come back with a sick horse, everyone shook their heads. This Chinese is crazy, and even many acquaintances who raise livestock at home avoid Li Han far away, for fear of bringing disease to the livestock at home. Li Han had already asked Carter's previous owner, and it seemed that the infection was not contagious, but Li Han still had a check-up, and the whole thing cost thirty dollars.
