The old cow will steer the cow and wear the nose of the cow, and the nail horsefoot is also handy.
Nailing horseshoes to horses is the same as piercing nose rings for cows, which is not a new and rare thing.
According to Lao Niu, an expert, the horse nail palm was first transmitted from the Hu people in the Western Regions, and it had been transmitted to the Central Plains as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, until now, the nails for horses are generally war horses in the army.
Ordinary people, there are few who nail horses.
Nailing a mule, it's even rarer.
But Zhang Chao knows that there are many benefits of nailing palms.
The hooves of a horse mule are made up of two layers, and in contact with the ground is a layer of hard horn about an inch thick, on top of which is live horn.
When the hooves come into contact with the ground, they will be damaged and fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water.
The nail palm can delay the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, and the horse's shoes can not only protect the horse's hooves, but also make the horse's hooves more solid to grip the ground, which is very beneficial for riding and riding.
Especially for war horses, with a shoe, they are not afraid of all kinds of terrain, and they can even defend against some iron nails and other things.
A pair of shoes is not expensive, and after installing it on the mule, it can greatly extend the service life of the mule, which is quite cost-effective.
To put it bluntly, the angular layer on the horse's hooves is like a human fingernail, and it grows continuously.
Under normal circumstances, horses and mules often run, and the paws of hooves rub against the ground, and the cuticle will continue to wear out, and the growth and wear will maintain a balance.
But if the horse and mule are used as a rider or servant, and it is equivalent to breaking this balance by carrying animals and carrying people, the load increases, and the walking distance becomes longer, then his cuticle is easily worn and even split, so that the horse and mule become lame and cannot walk.
The lifespan of a horse mule is greatly reduced.
Therefore, repairing the horse's hooves and ordering the horse's shoes is equivalent to putting on a pair of shoes for the mule, and there is no need to worry about wear and tear, as long as it is replaced regularly.
Even if not every mule used to nail horseshoes, it was necessary to repair the hooves regularly.
One of the things that many horse and mule owners have to do every day before putting their horses in the shed is to turn the horse's hooves upside down and clean the cracks in the horse's hooves so as not to hurt the horse's hooves.
And nailing the horseshoe can be more trouble-free.
Lao Niu is an expert in this area, and he told Zhang Chao that nailing horseshoes is not simple, and it takes experienced people.
And nailing the horseshoe is not once and for all, in early spring and late autumn, the horsefoot has to be pulled off, with a special knife to re-trim the palm, and then re-tie, otherwise, the mule is prone to hoof diseases.
Zhang Chao didn't expect this old cow to be so versatile, and he was very happy at the moment, this is a treasure he has picked up.
Thank you very much Shan Xiongxin, it's interesting enough.
The Zhang family now has so many cattle and horses, if there is no full-time veterinarian, it is very inconvenient.
"Uncle Niu, in the future, you will have one stone of corn per month, five buckets each of Niu Da and Niu Er, and three buckets each of Niu Xiaomei and Niu Sister-in-law."
Zhang Chao is now more and more accustomed to using this kind of reward to win people's hearts.
Niu Deqing's family is now Zhang Chao's slaves, even if Zhang Chao doesn't give them wages, it's normal, but it's a little abnormal to pay them.
Zhang Chao now gives them so much salary at once, and a family of five will have a monthly ration of three stones of corn in addition to food and shelter in a month, and with this food, they can greatly improve their lives.
"Da Niu and Erniu are also of marriage age, don't worry, Uncle Niu, I'll help him arrange it when I go back."
The housekeeper has two daughters and a son, and the two daughters and the eldest girl and the second girl are almost of marriage age, if they can talk about it at that time, Zhang Chao doesn't mind being kind and matching them, let the eldest girl marry the big cow, the second girl marry the second cow, and the little sister of the cow marries the bolt.
Well, the slave and the slave married the slave and the maid, and they were still members of the Zhang family at that time, and when they gave birth to children in the future, they were also born to the Zhang family.
Zhang Chao's promise moved Lao Niu very much.
He is old, and what he cares about most is the affairs of his two sons.
The eldest is thirty years old, and he has not yet married, and the second child is also in his twenties, which makes him unable to sleep at night every day.
Now that they have arrived at the Zhang family, the new owner gave such a promise as soon as he opened his mouth, and directly gave them the monthly money of three stone grains a month, which is a good thing that has never happened in a single family.
A single family is a big family, with thousands of slaves.
As for the money given by the young owner, he believed that the new owner's statement that he wanted to introduce the marriage to his children was reliable.
"Thank you Shao Dong, the old one can't be repaid, and the next life will be rewarded."
The old cow pulled his two sons to their knees.
"It doesn't have to be like this, my Zhang family treats people leniently.
As long as you work hard, not only will you have food every month, but you will also be rewarded, and the marriage of the big cow will also be wrapped up in me.
If you do a good job, I will see it in my eyes, as long as you work hard, I will give you exemption as a part of the process, and even in the future, it is not impossible. ” After saying a few words, the eyes of the old cow and the calf were red with excitement.
Once you enter the lowly nationality, it is as deep as the sea, and how difficult it is to return it again.
But now Zhang Chao directly said that it is good to be exempt, although there are still many conditions, but there is hope.

"When we're done dressing the cow's nose today, let's start preparing to nail the horses and mules."
Zhang Chao commanded.
There is still a lot of preparation work to make horse nails, and you must first build a batch of shoes and make horseshoe nails.
This requires a blacksmith's stove and some blacksmith's tools.
Zhang Chao was going to invite a blacksmith to come, but Lao Niu said no.
Niu Da Niu Er of his family followed him to learn veterinary medicine, Niu Da is also good at castration, and Niu Er is good at nailing horseshoe.
Even the hooves and nails, they can also beat them themselves, just buy some iron.
"What you can do, you don't have to hire someone anymore, what to do with wasting that money."
Lao Niu now has a kind of dedication to bow and die, and he has taken the owner's monthly rations, so he can't think about the owner everywhere, and he can save a little money for the owner.
Today, the farmers all came to receive the cattle, and Zhangjiagou was extremely lively.
Zhang Chao also waved his hand very boldly, and stayed at Zhang's house for dinner at noon.
Instructed Zhang Zhoushi and Da Ya Er Ya in the kitchen to cook, and the dishes were simple but hearty.
Now the Zhang family kills one or two pigs every day, sometimes one, sometimes two.
The stock of pig's head pig bones is very large, most of them are marinated, and a new deli shop is in preparation.
At present, it is still sold in breakfast shops and sold to various restaurants and restaurants.
Sales are still limited for the time being, but they have been on an upward trend, which is a very good phenomenon and proves that Zhang Chao's idea is right.
Although pork is cheap meat, pig's head and pig bones are not good meat, but these offal pieces have become a completely different food after being marinated with a secret marinade.
It's a delicacy.
People who have not eaten it will still be a little hesitant, but most of the people who have eaten it will applaud, and even become repeat customers.
The pigs killed this morning, the pig water and bones have not yet been fully marinated.
Stir-fried pork intestine, pig blood tofu, bone broth, stewed pork ribs, radish, winter melon and several other dishes are all packed in large pots, which look very hearty, but the cost is very small.
Everyone was very happy to have a dinner with the host, which was an honor in itself.
"Autumn moon, winter sunny, give me a scrambled egg with leek flowers in a while."
Zhang Chao took advantage of the time to come to the kitchen to inspect, and the tenants outside were very happy to have bone broth to drink, pork ribs and pig's head meat, just like the New Year.
But Zhang Chao has been eating meat every day recently, and he is tired of eating it.
He wants to eat some greens more now.
"Another stir-fried rape."
I eat meat every day, and I get tired of eating it for a long time, and I also want to eat vegetables.
The tenants were very happy to have a meal of meat, even if it was pig's head.
However, Zhang Chao's green vegetables are not boiled vegetables in ordinary tenants' homes, and his green vegetables are extremely painstaking.
The new iron pot specially ordered by the blacksmith is very suitable for stir-frying.
Stir-fry in a small pot over high heat, add garlic and dogwood, as well as refined fine salt, and Zhang Chao's special light soy sauce, and then add the broth boiled with big bones.
Really calculated, Zhang Chao's small plate of fried vegetables is no cheaper than a plate of pig's head meat.
The people of the Tang Dynasty planted rapeseed but rarely used it to extract oil, just to make vegetables.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but think that maybe he could try to grow rapeseed to squeeze rapeseed oil in the future.
"Qiuyue and Dongqing, the cooking skills of the two of you are getting better and better, and they are no worse than me."
After Zhang Chao's careful teaching, the two girls have made very rapid progress in their cooking skills.
Zhang Chao was very satisfied with the two girls, and it was not good to call them the eldest girl and the second girl every day, so he gave the two of them official names, the eldest girl was called Qiuyue, and the second girl was called Dongqing.
Because one of the two girls was born in autumn and the other in winter.
"Hey, I'm reluctant to marry you now."
As soon as the two girls heard the word marriage, their faces changed slightly.
"Today's new cattle veterinarian's family will also be our Zhang family in the future.
You have also seen the two sons of his family, Da Niu and Erniu, all of them are very strong and sturdy, and they are also very honest, and they all have first-hand skills, what do you think of them?"
asked Zhang Chao.
The two girls did a good job, but Zhang Chao didn't plan to say that he would also harm the two girls and give them the idea of being a girl in the room.

The two girls have also reached the age of marriage, Zhang Chao is really reluctant to marry them, mainly because he finally cultivated two female chefs who can stir-fry, and it is a pity to marry.
It just so happened that the Niu family came today, and Zhang Chao felt that Niu Da Niu Er was not bad.
"Does San Lang dislike us" Dongqing looked at Zhang Chao pitifully, although she was a slave in the Zhang family, this life was really good.
"How can it be, you are also at the age of getting married, you can't always stay unmarried.
The Niu brothers are good, and you won't suffer a loss if you marry.
And the Niu family is also the Zhang family, you have married, and you can still stay in the Zhang family in the future.
If you get married, you can continue to cook at home, and now my mouth has been raised by the two of you, except for the dishes you make, I can't get used to what other people do. ” Qiu Yue lowered her head and said, "As long as San Lang likes to eat, then we will always cook for San Lang in the future." ” "Well, don't think too much about the two of you, I'm just proposing it to you.
Think about it for yourself first, if you think that the Niu brothers are good and worthy of trust, then you will talk about it then. ” "We listen to Saburo."
"Okay, now let's continue to cook, let's have another soup, do you have spinach, if you have, get a spinach soup."
Zhang Chao said with a smile.
