Robbie was thrilled when he heard what Li Du said. ”Of course, this American quarter horse is three and half years old. Look at its muscles, teeth, and hooves. This is definitely a good horse!”
Hans folded his arms and asked, ”Are you really going to buy a horse? Why would you do that?”
Li Du said, ”I’m just interested. I’m not going to buy it. I’m wondering: if I give Tomasson a carriage, why don’t I give him a horse too?”
American quarter horses were not expensive. An ordinary draft horse only cost around 500 dollars.
Most families could afford to buy an American quarter horse if they wanted or needed one. But most didn’t buy one because the maintenance fees were too expensive. That was also the reason why many Chinese people didn’t buy cars.
Also, a lot of land was required to keep a horse. A regular front yard was often not enough room for a dog, let alone a big animal like a horse.
Li Du wanted to do his best to improve his relationship with the Amish.
Hans said, ”Alright, what else can I say? You’re such a generous brat.”
Li Du wouldn’t spend much on himself. But he was generous toward his family and friends.
Besides, he earned money easily. Therefore, he didn’t feel upset when he spent his money.
”Robbie, what would you like to trade with this horse?” Hans asked.
Robbie thought about it and said, ”Let’s trade it for your fire extinguisher.”
Hans sneered, ”Do you think that I’m f*cking stupid?”
Robbie quickly laughed when he heard what Hans said. He slapped him on the shoulder. ”I’m joking, baby. I’m just joking. But other than the fire extinguisher, you don’t have any valuable goods. ”
”We have plenty of good stuff at our cabin,” Hans growled, ”and you say we don't have any high-quality goods? Alright then, let's go and buy a different horse—”
”Okay, I'm wrong,” Robbie said quickly. ”You have a lot of good items at your cabin. I saw some glassware there.”
”Yes.”
Robbie spread his hands and said, ”Well, I'll trade you a big horse for that useless glassware—what do you think?”
Hans said, ”Fine, just forget it man. Do you think that we’re stupid?”
”Why are you angry?” Robbie grumbled. ”I don't mean all your glassware. I only want some of it.”
”How much do you want?”
Robbie said, ”I want glassware to distill rose essential oil. One set is enough.”
The deal sounded more reasonable now. They collected many pieces of glassware. There were ten sets of essential oil distillation equipment in total. That was the reason why Hans had suggested they start a business distilling rose essential oil.
Of course, it was simple to find the equipment; it was not as easy to learn the skills.
They made the deal, and Hans said, ”You can take a set of glassware. So the horse is ours now?”
”You can ride it now,” Robbie smiled.
The tamed American quarter horse was very obedient. Hans checked the horse and rode on its back. He kicked the horse in its stomach lightly and the horse started running.
After a while, Li Du shouted, ”Come back, let's check the carriage. That's the main goal.”
The owner of the carriage was a young man called Max Conrad. He was a white punk who had part-time job trading old goods.
