Chapter 118 Is that okay? You really understand dogs!

Soon Chen Pao took Yue Feng out of the house. The market was on the village road. At the east end was the area where chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and other livestock were sold. After walking for about five minutes, Yue Feng saw it. Zou Laoqi mentioned by Chen Pao.

At this moment, Zou Laoqi was squatting on the side, smoking a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth.

In the wicker basket in front of him, there were four half-sized puppies with blue-gray fur.

"Lao Qi, how is the sale of the dog? Have you found a suitable buyer?" Chen Pao walked directly to Zou Lao Qi and said hello.

"Chen Pao is here to go to the market! Not yet! This bastard understands that there are few people, but some understand. He backed down when he heard the price I asked! Want a bag?" Zou Laoqi was very polite when he saw Chen Pao. He said hello and at the same time took out the cigarette paper and tobacco from his pocket.

"One bag, one bag! Don't sell this dog. Why don't you come to my house for dinner at noon? Stewed roe deer!"

Chen Pao took the cigarette paper handed over by the other party. , pinched a handful of tobacco naturally, flattened the cigarette with quick hands and feet, sealed it with saliva, then pulled off the tail of the cigarette, just as Zou Laoqi's match was handed over, he lit the cigarette and took a nice puff.

"This...Chen Pao, this is..."

Zou Laoqi was a little surprised when he heard Chen Pao calling him to go home for dinner. They were considered acquaintances, but they didn't know each other well. Friendship, stewed roe deer and called home for dinner, the treatment was not low. Zou Laoqi thought that he did not have such face in front of Chen Pao, so he was a little uneasy.

"You dog, my eldest nephew wants it!! Let's go to my house for dinner and I'll drink two cups with you at noon!" Chen Pao exhaled another puff of smoke and said unhurriedly.

"Okay! Okay! Is that really true? You have helped me a lot!! They say that Chen Pao is a righteous man, and that is indeed true!!!" Zou Laoqi raised his eyebrows at Chen Pao repeatedly. Brother Thumb.

"Don't freeze here, go home!!! Xiaofeng, help your seventh brother carry the basket!" Chen Pao waved his hand and stood up straight.

"Hey! Okay!" Yue Feng responded and quickly picked up the wicker basket on the ground.

The four puppies, Yue Feng had already looked them over just now. The food for the puppies was probably not very good. They looked a little thin, but there was nothing wrong with their frame or body structure.

The three of them quickly returned to Chen Pao's home and went straight into the north room without exchanging pleasantries.

Zou Laoqi had been freezing all morning at the market and was already completely frozen. After entering the house, he stamped his feet and rubbed his hands. It took him a while to warm up.

"Drink some tea to warm yourself up, Xiaofeng, take out the puppy, look at the dog, don't let Zou Laoqi lose the bag!"

"Hey, Chen Pao, are you kidding? , this thing’s appearance is all in the blood, so it can’t deceive experts!” Zou Laoqi knew that Chen Pao was joking with him, so he was very happy.

Yue Feng opened the lid of the wicker basket, and soon the dog inside couldn't help but lift up its legs from the basket.

The appearance of this wolf-blood string is somewhat similar to the appearance of Kunming dog cubs from later generations in Yue Feng's memory. The fur on its body has a yellow-gray background color, and its back is dark black. It looks like it is about three months old, and its ears have already stood up. , it’s just that he is visibly thin, his ribs are clearly defined, and you can tell from his appearance that he didn’t receive enough care in Zou Laoqi’s hands.

Before Yue Feng could say anything, Chen Pao, who was next to him, had already caught the first male dog that emerged from the basket with his quick eyes and hands.

Grabbing the male bastard's back with his big hands, the dog seemed to be fine, neither barking nor afraid, staring at Chen Pao with a heavy gaze, and occasionally scanning Zou Laoqi and Zou Laoqi with his peripheral vision. Yue Feng next to him.

Chen Pao looked up and down at the dog's paws, front page, and finally at the male pup's anus before placing it on the ground.

The dog who landed on the ground did not panic. He sniffed around. His first attention was not on the three people in front of him, but on the hunting dog tied up in the yard through the crack in the door.

"This dog is good!" Yue Feng had been paying attention to the performance of this pup and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Feng also understands dogs? Tell me, what's a good idea!" Chen Pao asked.

Zou Laoqi also looked Yue Feng up and down. The young junior in front of him looked a little unfamiliar. He must have never seen him before.

Yue Feng said generously: "I think dogs are blind, and I am just trying to do tricks in front of Uncle Chen. Since you asked me to say it, I will just talk nonsense!

I think, A good hunting dog must first and foremost have a stable personality. A hunting dog is not a guard dog. It only needs enough hunting ability to kill people. If it goes up the mountain and goes out, no one knows what it will encounter. What if a dog leads a group of dogs and attacks someone? , the responsibility must still be on Orion!

This dog, if I guessed correctly, should be the alpha dog in this litter. Opening the wicker basket, the mouth of the basket is just this big. It was the first to poke its head out, and the other dogs obviously didn't dare to compete with it.

After being scratched, the dog didn’t bark or bite. Instead, it looked around at the rest of us, trying to make sure we had no ill intentions! If there is no malice, there will definitely be no fear!

This kind of dog that scratches its back hair without barking will have relatively dull pain-sensing nerves. It will not easily lose its combat effectiveness when injured while hunting in the mountains!

After talking about his personality, let’s look at his appearance. If I guessed correctly, his female parent should be a relatively large yellow female dog with a big head and a square mouth.

This cub has a broad chest, a well-proportioned frame, a reasonable front page, and a moist and broad nose, making it easier to smell various smells. If he is fed good food and drinks until he grows up, he will be able to gain at least a hundred pounds. Up!

Seeing that it entered the house, it kept sniffing around, and soon noticed the dog in the yard. It was most likely that it was in trouble, but I didn't know what the way was.

If Sao Lu is upright, this wolf-blooded string will be a rare head-on dog! "

"Okay? You really understand dogs! ! "After listening to Yue Feng's analysis, both Zou Laoqi and Chen Pao looked at Yue Feng with admiration.

Yue Feng is an expert in raising eagles. After all, this thing is a family tradition. Outsiders don't know whether he is good at it or not. Naturally, he didn't have any other ideas in his mind.

But Zou Laoqi and Chen Pao were serious practitioners when it came to raising dogs. Yue Feng's judgment was definitely not just random talk from hearsay. The sentence is so simple, this is really a very deep understanding of dogs

"Hehe, my grandfather was also a hunter in his generation, but he suffered too much when he was young and passed away long ago without passing on all his skills. I have heard a little bit about this dog phase!" Yue Feng laughed. said.

"What you analyzed earlier is very correct, but there is one thing you don't quite understand!

This string of wolf blood must be sexy. There are four dogs in this basket, If you pick one out, you can become a leader if you train it well! This is why this bastard is so expensive!” Zou Laoqi followed Yue Feng’s words and explained the wolf-blood string! Why is it valuable.

"The dogs are all back. My eldest nephew can shoot these four dogs. How much will they cost?" Chen Pao saw that the exchange was almost over. Both parties had intentions and immediately put the purchase of dogs on the agenda. .

When the price was mentioned, Zou Laoqi hesitated for a moment and said: "In the market before, I bid for sixty-one dogs, and four dogs were wrapped for 220 yuan without counter-offer. Chen Pao, you also know that, now that you have spoken, the four dogs are all Take it away, I'll put up another basket, it's 190 yuan, what do you think?"

"180!" Before Yue Feng nodded, Chen Pao slashed without hesitation.

Zou Laoqi saw Chen Pao making a counter-offer in person, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, then 180! Sell it!!"

"Xiao Feng, pay for it!" Yue Feng immediately took the money from his arms. He took out a stack of big sticks and after counting them one by one, the scene was handed over to Zou Laoqi.

"You're not worried now, are you? Xiaofeng came to see me and brought some good wine. Let's have some serious drinks at noon!"

Zou Laoqi happily counted the money, and then put it into his pocket. : "Okay, I'll listen to Chen Pao's arrangements. Whatever you say is irrelevant!"

Seeing Zou Laoqi giving face and being so happy, Chen Pao felt quite comfortable and grabbed the little bitch just now. The leader dog was caught again.

“Actually, in addition to the points you mentioned before, this dog has one more important point that you two didn’t notice! I’m happy today, so I’ll tell you about it!”

Yue Feng was slightly startled: "Say it!"

Zou Laoqi also nodded repeatedly: "You are an expert when it comes to playing with dogs. I'm listening!"

Chen Pao picked up the back of the half-grown puppy and put it on the ground. Then, like a bone-setting massage, he lifted his thumb Use your index finger to gently press the dog's spine section by section, and then stop near the dog's lower back.

"The elders say that this dog is just like a wolf, with a copper head and iron bones and a tofu waist. Once the waist is injured, it can range from fractures to paralysis! But in the wolf's blood, , there is a kind of dog called Iron Waist! This dog is an Iron Waist!"

"What does Iron Waist mean?" This is the first time Yue Feng has heard this saying.

Chen Pao brought out another paparazzi, and the two dogs, which were not much different in size, were placed side by side.

"You can touch the lower back and spine of these two dogs. Is there any difference?" Chen Pao did not give a direct answer, but asked Yue Feng to feel it himself.

The second pup's character was not as stable as the first pup. He grunted a few times when his back was scratched, and kept trying to lick Chen Pao's hand.

Yue Feng followed Chen Pao's instructions and touched the spines of the two dogs.

This time, I really felt a little difference.

The dog that Chen Pao called an iron-waisted dog had two obvious flat vertebrae on both sides of this bone, which the other dog could not touch.

Zou Laoqi waited for Yue Feng to finish touching it, then he also touched it and nodded repeatedly.

“There is really a difference! Is this an iron waist?”

“Yes! The physiological structure of a hunting dog determines that its waist is the key point of the body. The front half of the body has ribs and a lot of muscles. The tissue wrapping makes it less likely to be injured, and the back half of the body is connected to the hip joint of the big hip. The waist is the most vulnerable part of the body!

These two vertebrae are a manifestation of a trait similar to that of ancient times. With these two bony protrusions, the outside of the bony protrusions can fit part of the psoas muscles. When the dog is injured, the dog's waist will be less likely to have problems. At the same time, the dog's waist will be stronger, and its overall quality will also improve. Significant improvement! "

When Chen Pao mentioned his expertise, he didn't hesitate to tell Zou Laoqi and Yue Feng the advantages of being a tough guy.

After listening to these words, Zou Laoqi had a slightly annoyed look on his face. He definitely couldn't afford to raise four dogs, but if he kept this rare iron-waisted wolf-blood string, he could still afford it. Yes, after all, you don’t need to be particular about the meat you feed your dog. You can feed it to your dog, such as internal organs and water. Even though it’s difficult, you can always raise your dog.

But now, the money has been settled and the dog has been sold to Yue Feng. It is impossible to keep this top dog.

"Zadi, Lao Qi, you still want to regret it after listening to this?" Chen Pao glanced at Zou Lao Qi's expression.

"No way! I'm just a little annoyed. I didn't know it earlier! But it's okay. My female dog is still at home. I take the dog up to the ground on the mountain every year. I'll be lucky next year. Maybe we can even give birth to a litter of wolf-blooded ones! If there are some excellent pups, I will definitely keep them for myself!”

“When your pups grow up, just follow me if you need them. Say, I will definitely help you drag the dog out!”

"Okay!!"

After chatting briefly for a while, it was time to eat at noon. Chen Pao's wife and eldest daughter-in-law had been working in the kitchen for a long time, and soon they were ready. On the Kang table, various hard dishes were served.

The main course is a large pot of roe deer stewed with potatoes, as well as chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, sauerkraut and pork ribs and other hard dishes. The most rare thing is that at the end, a plate of braised gayazi with sauce is served on the table. Knowing that the outdoor temperature is now minus 20 or 30 degrees, this thing is not easy to do. It is obvious that the Chen family has put great effort into entertaining Yue Feng.

During this meal, Chen Pao accompanied his two sons, and the five gentlemen on the Kang table ate and drank together. It was a great time for the guests and the host.

Yue Feng was still thinking about taking the dog home, so he didn’t drink much wine, about four taels. After drinking, the conversation started. The three of them are hunting enthusiasts, and they went hunting in various ways when they were young. The topic is so smooth when we talk about it.

The meal lasted until 1:30 in the afternoon. The old man and Zou Laoqi both drank about a pound of white wine. The old man was still sober, but Zou Laoqi obviously had a little too much. After the dinner was over, Chen Pao ordered his eldest son. Send Zou Laoqi home.

After drinking tea on the kang for a while, it was already half past two in the afternoon. Yue Feng was still thinking about going to the city to deliver game later, so he said hello and was ready to leave.

Hearing that Yue Feng was leaving, the old man turned around and went to the warehouse to get some hemp ropes.

Three hunting dogs, they thought their master was sending guests out of the house, but the old man quickly tied all three dogs at home with hemp ropes and handed them over to Yue Feng's hands.

"It's a pity that Qinglang died, these three dogs will be left to you! I know you are a person who understands dogs and loves dogs. When Dahuang and the others arrive at your home, you can't treat them badly!" I simply told them. After a few words, Chen Pao handed the hemp rope in his hand to Yue Feng.

When the rope was handed over to Yue Feng's hand, the three dogs that had been wagging their tails a second ago all drooped down. The dogs were like children who had made mistakes, grunting and expressing their emotions. He was so depressed that the yellow dog even pulled at Chen Pao's trouser legs.

Chen Pao was startled and took a step back: "Stop whining! I won't be able to go up the mountain when I get old. Our fate is over. Let's follow Xiaofeng!"

Old Chen Pao behaves Such a free and generous man couldn't help but his eyes turned red the moment he heard his dog grunting. He turned slightly sideways, raised his head and stared at the distant courtyard wall, waving his hand to signal Yue Feng to lead the dog away. .

Yue Feng can understand the feeling of giving away his fighting partners to others. These dogs, after walking out of this door, will be gone forever as soon as they turn around.

"Uncle Chen, let me go!" Yue Feng tied the dog's rope to the back seat, and then pushed the car out of the courtyard.
