Divorce in middle age: starting with the manor system

Chapter 185 Chapter 183, Handmade Harness

"You boy, your thirteenth master is right!"

"Every horse needs a tailor-made saddle, and it's not suitable to buy it online!" Wu Shixun glanced at his nephew who was being trained, and smiled while smoking a cigarette.

Wu Qingfeng on the side also laughed!

It is because each horse is different in size that he asked Master Wu to do it himself.

"The tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of ancient cavalry, are they all tailor-made?" Wu Qingyun asked suspiciously.

When Wu Qingfeng heard this, he immediately glanced to see if his cousin, Lao Guazi, had been kicked by a donkey, and said angrily, "Do you think it's possible?"

Wu Qingnian laughed when he heard this!
"Don't think it's impossible, the ancient cavalry is really tailor-made!" Wu Jingfu looked up at the two grandnephews and smiled.

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, soft saddles were commonly used, the main body of which was two leather saddle pads, filled with dense deer hair.

So at that time, even if it was not tailor-made, it was very suitable for the horse's back, because the saddle was soft. "

"It wasn't until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that the early Gaoqiao saddles gradually appeared, which are still somewhat different from the current ones."

"The ancient cavalry, including the Mongolian cavalry, were all family soldiers, and the saddles they rode were all tailor-made."

"In our Central Plains Dynasty, most cavalry units kept a certain number of grooms. These grooms were responsible for binding palms, making saddles, and feeding horses, so the ancient cavalry was really tailor-made." Wu Jingfu laughed.

"In the 70s, the Xi'an Garrison Area was recruiting grooms, and I worked there for a few months!"

"The military horses of the army are the legs of the cavalry. If the military horses are uncomfortable, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced, so tailor-made saddles are very necessary!"

Wu Qingfeng was very surprised.

I didn't expect Fifth Master to have such an experience.

"Then I bought a horse, and I'll ask Master Thirteen to help me make a saddle!" Wu Qingnian understood the importance of tailor-made saddles, and said hastily.

"You also want to raise horses?" Wu Jingfu looked at Wu Qingnian in surprise.

"Well, the main reason is that I saw my brother raising one, and I want to raise one too!"

"Then don't look for me, go buy ready-made ones!" Wu Jingfu waved his hand quickly and said.

"Come on, Lord Thirteen, you can't treat one more favorably than another!" Wu Qingnian wailed suddenly.

"Don't you kid look down on my craftsmanship?"

"No! Master Thirteen, please help me make a pair!"

"Then what do you think of my craftsmanship?" Wu Jingfu asked with a smile.

"Okay, a masterpiece!" Wu Qingnian quickly flattered him.

"Really?"

"Really!" Wu Qingfeng nodded heavily.

"Then I'll give you this saddle!" Wu Jingfu smiled and handed the roughly outlined wooden saddle to Wu Qingnian.

Wu Qingnian was taken aback for a moment, and then he was surprised: "Isn't this still good? And I haven't bought it yet. Didn't you say that it is suitable for tailor-made?"

"Yeah, didn't you say that mine is a masterpiece?
Since you think it is a masterpiece, I will give it to you! "Wu Jingfu laughed.

"Your eyes are as bright as a torch, I didn't even know that this newly formed saddle is a masterpiece!"

"Don't, Thirteenth Master, I was wrong!" Wu Qingnian hurriedly begged for mercy.

He knew that he flattered indiscriminately and was made things difficult by the thirteenth master.

"Hahaha...!!" Seeing Wu Qingfeng deflated, Wu Qingfeng, Wu Shixun and his son suddenly burst into laughter.

"Boy, the next time you flatter me to the old man, at least wait until I finish work!" Wu Jingfu glanced at his nephew and said angrily.

"Also, let's talk about it after you buy the horse. In addition, if you really like horses, have a place to feed them, and can take care of them, then buy them. Otherwise, my old man will advise you not to be a cheap horse!"

"I hate the most that someone raises a horse but does not raise his mind. He hangs half his life like starving to death. It is a crime!" Wu Jingfu warned Wu Qingfu while looking at him.

"Master Thirteen, don't worry, the horses I raise will never lose to my brother!" Wu Qingnian swore.

"That would be the best!" Wu Shixun laughed.

He is naturally very happy to have one more person who loves horses. Although he cannot raise horses, he is still very happy to see others raising horses.

Wu Qingfeng, Wu Shixun, father and son, and Wu Qingnian, chatted with Wu Jingfu to relieve boredom, and helped him at the same time.

Handmade saddles are quick to make.

In less than three hours, the two saddles were completed. Although it is a one-piece keel, after sewing leather and filling cotton, the yellow saddle is simple and exquisite.

stable!

Wu Jingfu put two pairs of saddles on the Black Moon God and Fairy White Queen respectively.

"How about it, you two boys come over and take a look, although the appearance is not very beautiful, but it is definitely very suitable." After Wu Jingfu put on the saddle of the Black Moon God, he patted the belly of the Black Moon God, and looked at Wu Qingfeng and Wu Qingnian .

"Pretty!"

Wu Qingfeng nodded and praised.

He is definitely not flattering the fifth master. The wooden saddle is wrapped in yellow leather and filled with cotton, which is very soft and elastic. It is matched with a brown leather horse pad, with a yellow belt and buckle, which is very exquisite.

Especially the way the leather is sewn inside and outside, as well as the method of rivets, make it impossible to find the slightest flaw.

It is definitely not inferior to the custom saddles on the horses he saw at the Modu Racecourse.

Wu Qingnian on the side touched the saddle and said with a smile: "Master Thirteen, as I said just now, your craftsmanship is definitely a masterpiece. Look, I'm sure!"

"You kid, you're good at flattering!" Wu Jingfu laughed when he heard this.

"Hurry up and change the rein, this rein is too ugly!"

"Change the reins and try riding. If there is a problem, I can change it!" Wu Jingfu smiled and looked at his nephew Wu Qingfeng.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Wu Qingfeng quickly picked up two pairs of leather reins hanging by the stables from the side, and put them on for Black Moon God and Fairy White Queen.

The reins of Black Luna are yellow.

The white jade queen's reins are brown.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"The temperament has grown taller in one fell swoop!" Wu Qingfeng said without stopping, nodding his head.

Wu Shixun on the side also nodded involuntarily.

Even Wu Jingfu, who made the reins, laughed and became more temperamental, which means that he is good at craftsmanship.

Wu Qingfeng was also amazed. The old saying goes that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and the ancients did not deceive me.

A pair of exquisite saddles on a horse will look particularly handsome.

Whether it is the Black Moon God or the Fairy White Queen, when they put on the saddle and put on the reins, they instantly feel handsome and noble.

If the previous Black Moon God and Xianbai Queen were just the elite among the common people, then the current Black Moon God and Xianbai Queen are the king and queen, noble, elegant, handsome, and mighty.

Wu Qingfeng stepped on the horse stool, got on the horse easily, and sat down.

"Comfortable!" Wu Qingfeng felt that his buttocks did not respond at all, as if he was sitting on a sofa, soft and soft.

"Qingfeng, you ride around first before talking!"

"The saddle has just been installed, and it hasn't been compacted yet. After a round of riding, after compacting, the person and the horse are comfortable, so there is no problem!" Wu Jingfu said with a smile.
