Chapter 280 Huangfu Duan talks about horses
Zhao Zhen had just returned to Liangshan County in the fantasy world. Regardless of anything else, he called Zhao Yuanli and asked: "Yuanli, where are brothers Huangfu Duan today?"
Zhao Yuanli saw Zhao Zhen's anxious look and hurriedly replied: "Master, these days, there are many horses in heat in the ranch. Huangfu Duan is staying at Kushutun Ranch. Except for the stallions in the ranch, Ta Xuewu Zuma and Zhaoye Jade Lion went to breed."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji called Zhao Ji and said, "Zhao Ji, go to Kushu Tun and ask Huangfu to bring it over."
Zhao Ji heard this, responded, and rode off in a hurry.
Zhao Zhen turned to look at Zao Liuma and saw that he was still standing listlessly, not caring about the sudden change in the environment. The situation didn't get worse, so I felt relieved.
Zhao Zhen then ordered Zhao Yuanli: "Put the rattan armor into the warehouse first. These ordinary green rattan and tung oil are sent to the carpenter's workshop. They are soaked and dried according to this recipe in order to prepare the armor. There is a big need to promote pottery. Become a deputy manager and oversee the production of rattan armor and rattan armor side cards from now on. Ask him to recruit a group of people and expand it to fifty people. He will go to the armor-making workshop to find Hou Jian and weave rattan armor if there is rattan in the future. I just weave some everyday things."
"As for the brown blood vines, the brown and green blood vines, the silver vines, and the two sacks of cucumber vines, Tao You was fascinated. It’s tight, just like the vine armor woven from gourd vines last time, we need to take it seriously.”
“Iron wood and other wood are also sent to the carpenter’s workshop after being registered, and the ore is sent to the blacksmith’s shop after being registered. "Gourd, forget about making gourds, collect the seeds, and plant the gourd after a while." Zhao Zhen said quickly, Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Xing nodded repeatedly, and when Zhao Zhen finished speaking, they lowered their heads and said a few words. , each went to work.
Zhao Zhen then said to the heroes who came back together: "Every brother, please go back to your station. Today, you have to treat this horse. I will hold a banquet in a few days, especially for brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi. , I'm afraid many brothers in the county don't recognize you. You two have been away for a long time, and now you just happened to go see my mother. The Ruan family's sister-in-law is pregnant now. In a while, you two will be uncles again. "
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi picked up these exquisite objects and various fruits that they had purchased over time, and happily went to see their mother. The others also dispersed.
Under the arrangement of Zhao Yuanli and the others, Zhuang Ding got on the carriage and delivered the goods on the school grounds to the designated places.
Maybe it was too noisy with the busy people on the school grounds. Zao Liuma, who had been standing quietly, glanced around uneasily. When Zhao Zhen saw it, he quickly stepped forward to comfort him. After thinking about it, he took the horse's reins and sent the Zaoliu horse to the stable.
After waiting for a while, Huangfu Duan hurriedly entered the stable with his three apprentices, Sun Ji, Sun Qi and Sun Shao.
Zhao Zhen saw it and said, "Brother Huangfu Duan, come and see this jujube horse. Can it be saved?"
After Huangfu listened, he quickly stepped forward, walked around the Zaoliu horse twice, and asked Zhao Zhen about the horse's character. Zhao Zhen told him everything he knew.
Huangfu listened to Zhao Zhen and said that this horse once raced on the racecourse for half a day and won a horse race. After that, he gradually ate less and lost weight. Then he said: "Master, this horse was pregnant with a foal during the competition, but it was not obvious at the time. After such a vigorous run, the horse was tired. Later, he got angry again, Shaoyin went retrograde, and his throat Swelling, that's what it is."
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and said, "Brother, please prescribe the medicine. I'll have someone brew it right away."
Huangfu said: "This Guolao soup only needs to be boiled with licorice. The decoction must be sufficient. I will give it acupuncture and moxibustion. The disease will be cured in five or seven days. Give it a few more days and it will recover naturally." Old view." After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly called Zhong Lin to go to the medicine shop to get some medicine to cook.
Taking advantage of this time, Huangfu Duan first performed acupuncture on the inside of Zao Liuma's lower lip and gave advice to the three students.
After acupuncture, Huangfu Duan gently patted the horse's body again, walked behind the horse, pulled the horse's tail to one side, and looked at it. Then he said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, this jujube horse should give birth in another month, and the bean cakes and other things must keep up."
As he said that, he touched the belly of the jujube horse again. He frowned and said: "In my opinion, this horse seems to have a litter of three sons. This is also the reason why this jujube horse is so thin. Ordinary horses only give birth to one son at a time, and twins are rare. If there are three sons, It is not an exaggeration to call it auspicious. "
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, I only said that the horse was pregnant, but I didn't say when the horse would give birth. How did Huangfu know?" Duan lifted the horse's tail again and asked Zhao Zhen to come over and look at it. He said: "When the official looks forward from the middle of the back belly, there is a midline from the horse's breast to the navel. The hair separated from the midline of the horse's belly is more than four inches behind the navel. ”
"In horses that have never been pregnant, the hair on both sides of this area is closed, and the midline of the abdomen is covered, making it difficult to see clearly. After pregnancy, the hair on both sides of the area will separate, like a groove, and the midline of the abdomen is clearly visible."
< br>"Based on the degree of separation of hairs on both sides of the abdominal midline, you can judge how long it takes to conceive. In the early stage, the abdominal midline is just a thin slit. If you touch it with your hand, you can feel a strip-like protrusion as thick as a little finger. From two to four months, the abdominal midline will The hair separated at the midline will be squeezed within three inches behind the navel. From then on, it will gradually increase to more than four inches."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly.
After a while, Zhong Lin brought a bucket of boiled licorice soup, poured it into a basin, and let Zao Liuma drink it.
Huangfu said: "Your Excellency, the foal in the jujube horse's belly is at its last moment. If you have ginseng to replenish your vitality, you can make some ginseng soup. Fortunately, this jujube horse is not an ordinary person. Good quality, strong body, this is how I can persist for so long. But now, I can no longer hold on. Fortunately, I have eaten a lot of treasures to enhance my physical fitness, so I can barely maintain it."
Zhao Zhen said: "Of course there are ginseng in the medicine shop, and there are also several advanced ones. Brother, go and see how much you want to use. Just use it. The main one is Zao Liuma. This Zao Liuma has suffered such a serious crime and has a lot of ginseng in its belly." I can keep the best and don’t force it.”
After hearing this, Huangfu said, “Don’t worry, senior official, I will do my best. I don’t know what the senior official wants to do when he comes back.” Two days ago, for some unknown reason, the Prime Minister transferred most of the war horses from the ranch back to the army, and also transferred many draft horses. Most of the horses left in the ranch were mares in heat. Senior officials don't need to worry about this. I just want to take care of these horses. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn’t stay any longer. After leaving the stable, Zhao Zhen was going to Xixi Village to see Xiao Rang and inquire.
As soon as Zhao Zhen came out of the gate of Baishi Village, he ran into Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan who were rushing over. But it was Pei Xuan who met Xiao Rang when he went to the county government office. Knowing that Zhao Zhen had returned to the fantasy world, he called Pei Xuan to see Zhao Zhen.
Before he could salute, Zhao Zhen asked outside the village: "Brother Xiao Rang, what happened in the county?"
