Chapter 207 206. Participate in the Filming in Person
Riding a horse is a technical job, and even putting on the saddle is exquisite.
Li Du hung it up obediently, but it turned out that Ausi was uncomfortable and kept pacing there.
Jones took the saddle and threw it up casually. The saddle flew onto the horse's back firmly. After fastening it, Ausi flicked the horse's tail, looking very comfortable.
"You are amazing." Mr. Li admired him very much.
Jones laughed and said, "Practice makes perfect. If you've worked with horses for thirty years, you'll be better than me. All right, boy, get on the horse!"
Li Du stepped on the stirrup to get on the horse, feeling a little scared in his heart, he was afraid that the horse would suddenly jump or run, that would be terrible.
But he thought too much, Ausi honestly let him sit on the horseback, but kept snorting.
Jones waved: "Back straight, my man, be confident, look straight ahead, don't lower your head, very good, shake the rein, let it go..."
Li Du flicked the rein of the horse, and Ausi started to walk with light steps as if he had received the signal.
The horse's back was slightly bumped, but Li Du felt it was bearable.
Jones got on the horse and said: "This is a good tame horse, Li, you don't have to worry, just enjoy the fun of riding the horse. And don't be nervous, take it easy."
Li Du said with a smile: "For the first time, a novice will inevitably be nervous."
"In the future, if you and Sophie are also so nervous the first time, you will definitely become fast gunners." Hans jokingly ran over on horseback.
Mr. Li: "Get out!"
Jones said: "Even if it's the first time, you need to relax. Horses are very spiritual animals. They can feel the emotions of their owners. If you are nervous, they will also be tense."
"Also, buddy, your back is too tense, relax, don't sit in the saddle, let your body dance to the rhythm of the horse..."
Li Du took two deep breaths, and then followed Jones' guidance. Sure enough, he felt that the saddle was much more comfortable, and Ausi could walk more freely.
Later, Jones asked him to control Ausi to run. Considering his first time riding a horse, Mr. Li decided to be safe, and it would be good to walk slowly.
Hans rode up to him, and the two horses walked slowly together.
Looking at Li Du, he said, "You can invite Sophie to ride a horse when you have time. This will greatly enhance the relationship between the two of you."
Li Du nodded and said, "You're right, but can she ride a horse?"
He had seen the scene of men and women riding side by side on TV, and it was really beautiful.
Hans said: "She won't ride the best, you can share a horse, so maybe as the horse jumps, your guy will jump into its home!"
"It's not good to do that right away, Boss Fu, don't teach bad boys." Jones laughed.
Li Du shook his head, two hooligans, but it's really exciting to think about it.
After riding for more than half an hour, the sun was hot and the horse was sweating very quickly.
So they dismounted and began to wash the horses.
After packing up, Jones took them to the stud area, where a dozen strong ponies were escaping the heat in the shade.
"Two thousand yuan for a stallion, and twenty-five hundred yuan for a mare, pick whatever you want," Jones said.
Hans said, "Choose a stallion..."
"It's better to be a mare." Li Du shook his head, "Amixu farmers should prefer mares."
Hans said, "Of course, but mares are expensive."
Li Du said seriously: "They trust us a lot, Boss Fu, we must be worthy of this trust!"
"You are the boss, you have the final say." Hans shrugged.
In the end they chose a filly with brown hair all over the body, and temporarily stored it with Jones, and when they bought the loom, he would send it there by truck.
It is indeed difficult to buy mechanical pedal textile machines. Li Du searched the Internet, even Amazon and Alibaba, but there is no...
It still depends on Hans.
Hans frantically called, and finally said with a smile: "Good luck, Li, there is a mechanical textile machine in the Hessmann second-hand auction market, and it will be auctioned on the weekend."
Li Duxi was overjoyed: "What a coincidence?"
Hans nodded and said: "It's such a coincidence, it seems that God also wants you to get that bird bone specimen. By the way, have you confirmed the identity of that specimen?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "No, I didn't bother to find someone to conduct an appraisal."
He didn't expect the specimen to sell for much money, but he wanted to study why the bug's time reversal function didn't work on it, or it didn't work much.
After the old house auction and these two days of tossing, it has been another week.
The reason why Hans said good luck was that the weekend auction would be held soon. If they missed this opportunity, they might find a textile machine somewhere else.
Li Du wanted to buy the textile machine directly, but the buyer told them that the textile machine had already been included in the brochure, and according to the second-hand auction rules, the goods included in the brochure were not allowed to be traded privately.
They waited until the weekend evening, then drove to the Hirschman's Flea Market.
Hei Fang was chewing something and laughing with people. Seeing the two of them, he waved his hands and said, "Hey, Boss Fu, I ran into you here again. Are you going to steal our business?"
Hans took out a dozen cold beers from the car, threw a can directly to Black Fang, and said, "To support your business, we want to take a picture of a textile machine."
Hei Fang spat out what was in his mouth, and Li Du recognized that he was chewing betel nuts. No wonder this guy's teeth look so horrible, and his cheeks are so big.
Drinking cold beer, the sunset slowly descends.
As usual, the sun goes down, the lights go up, and the auctioneer comes on stage and calls out: "Hi my dear brothers and sisters, welcome to the weekly Hirschman's Grocery Auction I'm your old friend Saditel... "
Li Du had heard this line, and as usual, the audience raised their middle fingers and there were bantering shouts.
The first item to be auctioned was a slot machine, which was bought by a middle-aged black man for 2,000 yuan.
Black Fang shouted, "Tiste, are you going to be a casino tycoon?"
The black man smiled and said, "Yeah, I want to win all the money you bastards have. Come to my house tomorrow to play slot machines. I have prepared a bunch of sausages and sandwiches."
"As you wish buddy!"
One by one, lots were bought, and eventually a huge loom resembling a grand piano appeared.
The auctioneer motioned for the light to shine on the loom, and shouted: "This old-fashioned loom is much older than you and me. Maybe it was born in the same year as our grandparents, but it is well preserved, so it is very valuable... ..."
"The starting price is 1,200 yuan. My fellows, who are willing to make a quick bid!"
Li Du made the move himself: "Me!"
"Thirteen hundred."
"One thousand four hundred!"
"Sixteen hundred!"
"Two thousand!" Li Du raised the price directly.
