183, handmade harness
"You boy, your Thirteenth Master is right!"
"Every horse needs a tailor-made saddle, and it is not suitable to buy it online!" Wu Shixun glanced at his nephew who was scolded and smiled while smoking a cigarette.
Wu Qingfeng on the side also laughed!
It was because each horse was different in size that he found the fifth master who asked him to do it.
"There were tens of thousands of cavalry in ancient times, and hundreds of thousands, all of them were tailor-made?" Wu Qingnian asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng immediately glanced at whether his cousin Lao Guazi was kicked by a donkey, and said angrily: "Do you think it's possible?"
When Wu Qingnian heard this, he started to laugh!
"Don't think it's impossible. Ancient cavalry was really tailor-made!" Wu Jingfu raised his head and looked at his two nephews and smiled.
"During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, soft saddles were commonly used. This body was two leather saddle pads, and the inside was filled with dense deer hair.
So even if it was not customized at that time, it was very suitable for the horseback because the saddle was soft.”
"It was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that the early Gaoqiao Annals gradually appeared, which was still somewhat different from the current ones."
"In ancient times, the Mongolian cavalry were all family-style soldiers, and the saddles they rode by themselves were made of customized."
"In our Central Plains dynasty, most cavalry units would keep a certain number of grooms in captivity. These grooms were responsible for ordering their palms, making saddles, and feeding horses, so ancient cavalry was really tailor-made." Wu Jingfu smiled.
"In the 1970s, there were grooms in the Xi'an security area. I went to work for a few months!"
"The army's horses are the legs of the cavalry. If the army and horses are uncomfortable, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced, so it is necessary to tailor-made saddles!"
Wu Qingfeng was surprised.
Unexpectedly, the fifth master had such an experience.
"Then I bought a horse and asked Thirteenth Master to help me make a pair of saddles!" Wu Qingnian understood the importance of tailoring saddles and said quickly.
"You want to raise horses too?" Wu Jingfu looked at Wu Qingnian in surprise.
"Well, mainly because I saw my brother raising him, and I also want to raise one!"
"Then don't ask me, go buy ready-made ones!" Wu Jingfu waved his hand and said.
"Don't, Master Thirteen, you can't be too kind to each other!" Wu Qingnian wailed.
"Don't you look down on my skills?"
"No! Master Thirteen, please help me make a pair!"
"Then what do you think of my craft?" Wu Jingfu asked with a smile.
"Okay, master's work!" Wu Qingnian quickly flattered.
"real?"
"Really!" Wu Qingfeng nodded heavily.
"Then give you this saddle!" Wu Jingfu smiled and handed the wooden saddle that had already formed a rough outline in his hand to Wu Qingnian.
Wu Qingnian was stunned and then said in surprise: "Isn't this not done yet? And I haven't bought it yet. Didn't you say that you need to tailor it to make it?"
"Yes, didn't you say that I was a master's work?
Since you all think it is a masterpiece, I will give it to you!" Wu Jingfu said with a smile.
"You kid are wise and wise. I don't know that this newly formed saddle is a master's work!"
"No, Master Thirteenth, I was wrong!" Wu Qingnian hurriedly begged for mercy.
He knew that he was flattering and was made difficult by the Thirteenth Master.
"Hahaha...!!" Seeing that Wu Qingnian was defeated, Wu Qingfeng and Wu Shixun and his son burst into laughter.
"Boy, I will flatter the old man next time I will at least wait until I finish the work!" Wu Jingfu glanced at his nephew and said unhappy.

"Also, I'll talk about it when you buy it back. In addition, if you really like horses, you have a place to take care of them, otherwise, the old man would advise you not to be a bad horse!"
"I hate the most that people who raise horses but don't care about their spirits. They are almost like starving to death, which is a sin!" Wu Jingfu looked at Wu Qingnian and warned.
"Thirteenth Master, don't worry, the horse I raise is definitely not inferior to my brother!" Wu Qingnian promised confidently.
"That's the best!" Wu Shixun said with a smile.
He is naturally very happy to have an extra horse lover. Although he cannot raise horses, he is still very happy to see others raise horses.
Wu Qingfeng, Wu Shixun and Wu Qingnian were the three of them, while Wu Jingfu chatted to relieve his boredom while helping him.
Handmade saddles are made very quickly.
In less than three hours, two pairs of saddles were done. Although they were integrated keels, the yellow saddle was made simple and exquisite after being sewn with leather and filled with cotton.
stable!
Wu Jingfu put two pairs of saddles on the Black Moon God and the Immortal White Queen respectively.
"How about it, you two guys come and have a look. Although the appearance is not very beautiful, it is definitely very suitable." After Wu Jingfu put on the saddle of the Black Moon God, he patted the Black Moon God's belly and looked at Wu Qingfeng and Wu Qingnian.
"pretty!"
Wu Qingfeng nodded and praised.
This is definitely not a flatterer to the fifth master. The yellow cowhide is wrapped in a wooden saddle and is filled with cotton. It is very soft and elastic. It is paired with a brown cowhide horse pad, a yellow belt and buckle, which is very exquisite.
Especially the sewing techniques of leather inside and outside, as well as the fixed method of rivets, make people unable to find any flaws.
It is definitely not inferior to the custom saddles on the horses he saw in the Magic City Horse Farm.
The young man Wu touched the saddle and smiled, "Thirteenth Master, I just said that your craft is definitely a master's work. Look, I'll tell you right!"
"You boy, you're pretty good at flattering!" Wu Jingfu laughed when he heard this.
"Switch the reins quickly, this reins are too ugly!"
"Change the reins, try it while riding. If there is any problem there, I can change it!" Wu Jingfu looked at his nephew Wu Qingfeng with a smile.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng quickly picked up two pairs of leather reins hanging from the stable from the side and replaced them with the Black Moon God and the Fairy and White Queen.
The reins of the Black Moon God are yellow.
The reins of the White Jade Queen are brown.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"The temperament suddenly became tall and high!" Wu Qingfeng said, nodding constantly.
Wu Shixun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but nod.
Even Wu Jingfu, who made the reins, laughed and his temperament became stronger, which means that he was good at craftsmanship.
Wu Qingfeng also sighed. The old saying goes that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, but the ancients did not deceive me.
If a horse is prepared with a particular pair of saddles, it will look particularly beautiful.
Whether it is the Black Moon God or the Fairy and White Queen, I put on the saddle and changed into the reins, and I instantly felt handsome and noble.
If the Black Moon God and the Fairy White Queen were just the elite among the common people, then the Black Moon God and the Fairy White Queen are the kings and queens, noble, elegant, handsome, and powerful.
Wu Qingfeng stepped on the horse stool, got on the horse easily, and sat down.
"Comfortable!" Wu Qingfeng felt that his butt was not uncomfortable at all, as if he was sitting on the sofa, soft and flexible.
"Qingfeng, you can ride it a little longer!"
