Chapter 1221

Li An picked up the small jewelry in front of him, carefully observed, the more he looked at it, the more he felt exquisite, such a perfect idea, even Li An did not expect that the core selling point of this exquisite jewelry is not the excellent workmanship, but the artificial amber inlaid on it, and limited by the volume of the entire jewelry, these artificial amber are very small, if it is too big, it is not exquisite, so the requirements for workmanship are very high.

Inside a small round piece of artificial amber, inlay a small bug, or inlay a small flower or even inlay stamens and petals, the resulting artificial amber is delicate enough and small enough to replace ordinary pearls, which is a good idea.

Small insects are not what all girls like, especially spiders and other terrifying little insects, and many little girls are very afraid of the existence, so there are more artificial amber with flowers and stamens, which are what girls are keen to like, but there are also some girls who are exceptions, they just like some more terrifying things, such as spiders and poisonous insects or something, so, these amber jewelry inlaid with poisonous insects are not sold.

Although artificial amber was invented by Ang Lee, and it was also his idea to inlay small animals and other items into amber, but after not paying attention to his workshop for so long, Ang Lee found that the craftsmen in the workshop had learned to innovate, and such exquisite artificial amber jewelry was much better than Ang Lee imagined, which was also the crystallization of the labor and wisdom of the craftsmen, which was very commendable.

"Guest, these are the finest jewelry, you can choose one!"

Since the businessman didn't know Ang Lee, he recommended the goods in a friendly manner.

Ang Lee took a look at it and asked, "How are the sales of these jewelry, and where are they purchased?" ”

"Oh, guest officer, this can't be said, can't be said, can't be said."

The shopkeeper refused to be honest, and seemed to be guarding some trade secrets.

Li An smiled: "These jewelry really look very exquisite, but I don't know if they are strong and durable." ”

"Although the guest officer can rest assured, our jewelry is made by the best craftsmen in the capital, the quality is absolutely superior, as long as it is not deliberately damaged, it will generally not be broken, it will never be broken for no reason, and it will not be broken at a light touch, this villain can guarantee that if it is easy to be damaged, we are guaranteed to return and replace, although the guest officer can rest assured."

The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced.

"Well, yes, what kind of jewelry do you choose for your wife?"

Ang Lee was also idle and bored, and actually chatted with the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, these kinds of jewelry are sold very well, basically you can sell as many goods as you come, and there are even a lot of nobles who can't buy them after they come?"

The shopkeeper said excitedly.

"Haha! It seems that the business of the store is booming! Well, I'll take all of them and buy them all. ”

Li An said arrogantly.

This attracted everyone's sideways glances, and there were many young ladies who were ready to buy jewelry, and when they saw that the jewelry was sold out, they pouted unhappily, and their expressions were quite disappointed.

There are so many people, no one knows Ang Lee, this is mainly because the population of the capital is increasing, and in addition, there is no TV or anything in this era, so most people naturally don't know what Ang Lee looks like, and Ang Lee is not a person who likes to be too showy, he never wears official clothes when he goes out, and even deliberately dresses very easy-going, plus there is no official frame on his body, so naturally it will not make people think of such a high official.

"Wait a minute, I will ask you to wrap up all the jewelry."

The shopkeeper was naturally quite happy to sell all the goods at once, and after getting the money, he could go to the stock again, and the pleasure of making money was very exciting.

Ang Lee took a large bag of the latest jewelry and went home happily, with so many gifts to coax, the ladies and maids in the family would be very happy.

After returning home, Ang Lee brought gifts to everyone, and the valets and guards who did not have gifts were directly rewarded with money, which made everyone very happy, not only happy, but even the pets at home were jumping around happily.

In order to increase the fun of life, Ang Lee's residence has a lot of pets, in addition to the most basic pets such as cats and dogs, there are rabbits, mini horses, all kinds of foxes, etc., as long as they are pets that can be raised, they will not let go, and they will all be raised.

Among them, Tang'er's favorite pet is a very small mini horse, this mini horse is much smaller than an ordinary horse, almost as big as a goat, and may be a little bigger, such a small horse can not be used to pull goods and form a cavalry, but can be used as a pet, specifically for young children to practice riding, so that the safety is very guaranteed, if it is a high-headed horse, it is not an ordinary child can control.

Mini horses are a very popular kind of ponies in later generations, and in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the same is true, but ordinary people have no qualifications to like this kind of mini horses, because this kind of mini horses that are used as pets by the rich have been fried to a very high price, and only the rich can afford it, and ordinary poor people, even if they sell all their property, they can't buy a low-grade mini horse, so many businessmen who breed and sell mini horses have made a fortune.

Li An is naturally very optimistic about mini horses, because only this kind of small mini horses can be used to train their children, so that children can learn to ride horses from an early age, and even, they can practice riding well, so that when the child grows up, he will be able to have very powerful riding skills.

Education should start from the child, the same, the practice of riding should also start from childhood, the earlier the practice of riding, the higher the level of riding in the future, in order to keep their children from losing at the starting line, many aristocratic families have purchased mini horses, and used them for the riding training of the family children, so as to cultivate talents for the family.

In order to reflect the martial spirit of the Tang Empire, the imperial court will even organize children's riding competitions and give certain rewards to children with good riding skills, which further stimulates the children of the nobility to buy mini horses.

This move of the imperial court undoubtedly greatly stimulated the nobles, so that the nobles began to be keen on cultivating their children, so that their children began to practice riding at a very young age, so that after adulthood, these children's riding ability will be unlimited.

The training effect of childhood is the best, everyone understands this truth, as the aristocratic class, naturally also understands it very well, coupled with the special attention of the imperial court, in this way, the nobles will naturally not ignore the childhood education of their children, in terms of cultural education, they will invite private schools to teach knowledge, and in terms of riding, they not only have to hire qualified instructors, and, but also to buy miniature horses that can be used to train children to ride, so that the effect of training is the best, if you use a tall horse, If you don't control it well and you fall and get hurt, it's a problem.

Datang's mini horses are mainly native horses from the south, that is, the southernmost Jiaozhou area of Datang, where a very short horse is produced, this very high-quality mini horse, known as Debao dwarf horse in later generations, is a very good quality mini horse breed.

Although this mini horse is very short, the height after adulthood is only about one meter, but the body is very strong, to be precise, that is, short, short, thick, strong, compact and strong, the head of this mini horse is flat, the forehead is not wide or narrow, the eyes are relatively small, and, some protruding, the ears are erect, the nose is loose and flexible, the neck is well-proportioned, thick, the chest is broad and muscular, the abdomen is round and large, slightly protruding to the sides, slightly sagging, the back of the abdomen is closed, the back and waist are straight, in short, Although this horse is very small, it is very strong and definitely enough to use.

In addition, in addition to being very strong, the character is also very docile, is a rare high-quality mini horse, this kind of horse because of its strength, can do a lot of work, pull, pack can be, used for children to ride, is very suitable, do not have to worry about the horse angry, the child to fall down.

This kind of high-quality Debao dwarf horse is said to be the descendant of the fruit horse in a longer era, and the fruit horse in the Han Dynasty, has appeared in the historical documents, because this kind of horse is very small, not as tall as the fruit tree, can walk under the fruit tree, so, there is the name of the fruit horse.

At this moment, the mini horses being sold in the Tang Horse Market, the name is Guoxia Horse, after all, this name is better, this is just a general name, in order to reflect the quality of the best Guoxia horse, there are some of the best horses, and even have been given very domineering names, such as the champion of horses, mighty mounts, etc., which can better increase the sales of these mini horses, so that the nobles who buy horses are more willing to buy this expensive mini horse.

However, no matter how good the mini horse is, it is not as good as the real high-headed horse in terms of function, but the price of the mini horse is often much more expensive than the general high-headed horse, which is due to the fact that there are more high-headed horses in Datang, and the population of mini horses has not yet increased.

It is precisely because of the strong demand that the price is deformed, this situation makes many people very helpless, ordinary people naturally dare not think about it, this kind of higher price mini horse has become the standard for the aristocracy and the rich, and only the rich and nobles can afford to use it.

The development of an industry will inevitably lead to the development of related industries, when the mini horse is sought after by the aristocracy, the related mini stirrup, mini saddle, mini horsewhip, mini horseshoe these industries have been developed, and even, there are mini horses dedicated to the fine feed.

The aristocracy raises a mini horse, that is simply to raise a living ancestor, it is necessary to continuously invest money, once the money is not in place, it is equivalent to buying in vain, there is a good horse, there is no good saddle, this is definitely not good, with a good mini saddle, stirrups, horseshoes, and horsewhips, these must also be prepared the best, so as to form a complete system.

Ang Lee has a huge fortune, and his family can naturally afford to raise a mini horse, and there is more than one of them, there are more than a dozen mini horses, this kind of gold-swallowing monster, the daily maintenance cost is very high, but for Ang Lee, such a little cost is nothing at all, and it is not a dime.

There are several children in the family, among them, the eldest Tang Er, it is time to learn to ride a horse, Li An bought so many good mini horses, in order to train Tang Er to ride a horse, so that he can learn to ride a horse from an early age, and when he grows up, he will not be worse than others.

And Tang Er also likes to practice horse riding, he thinks this is a very fun thing, although occasionally fall off the horse, but the height of the mini horse is very short, Tang Er before riding, will be forced to wear knee pads and wrist pads, and a protective helmet will also be worn, so that falling from a short mini horse is nothing.

"Cao'er, where's my Tang'er?"

Li An searched in the yard for a long time but didn't find Tang'er, so he asked.

"Ah Lang, where is Tang'er riding a horse in the backyard?"

Cao'er replied.

"Horseback riding, huh! This kid is quite diligent, good thing, I have to go and see. ”

Li An said very happily that Li Ang was naturally very pleased that his son liked to ride a horse, so that his son would definitely not be worse than other children in the future, and he would even be able to beat other children.

After all, Ang Lee's excellent genes are here, coupled with Tang Er's hard work since childhood, if there are no more achievements, it is too much to say.

"Driving ......"

Before he reached the backyard, Li An heard Tang Er's shouts driving the horses, which was very loud and had a powerful momentum.

"Yes, yes, you can run."

Li An walked to the backyard and saw Tang Er running in circles, and the speed was not slow, he nodded very happily, Li Ang was very satisfied that his son's riding skills could reach such a level, after all, Tang Er is still a child, he is still very young, riding on the back of a mini horse, it is not easy to reach such a level, as long as he can walk the horse smoothly, it is very good.

According to Li An's plan, Tang Er practiced horses like this for half a year, and after he was proficient enough with horses, he would probably be able to learn more powerful equestrian movements, such as standing on horseback and riding a horse for a short time, circling around on horseback, riding a horse with a short back, and chopping passing scarecrows with small sticks while riding a horse, all of which can be trained later.
