Chapter 14 Buying cattle and horses to add belongings (3)
They test-drove the three selected horses one by one. Thomas was very satisfied, and so was the owner of the racecourse. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was Ju An's wallet.
Ju An discovered the trouble when he was waiting to load the car. The brown ponies he had selected were unwilling to get on the car. Old Thomas was so angry that his white beard almost stood up. In the end, the three of them petted each other for a long time and whispered into his ears.
After saying kind words for a long time, he blindfolded his eyes before getting the little guy into the car.
On the way, Thomas was still a little dissatisfied with the little guy, and then introduced Friesland in detail. It turned out that only black horses can be certified Friesian horses, and other colors are not recognized, even those with black foreheads.
There can only be small stars, long meteors, and white faces are not acceptable.
After hearing this, Ju An said it didn't matter. He was not pursuing the pedigree of a famous horse. He just liked it. Then he apologized to Thomas. Thomas was doing it for his own ranch. Old Thomas' serious and responsible attitude made Ju An very happy.
It's admiration.
The next racecourse is still a small family racecourse, slightly larger than the first racecourse. It is located at the foot of Crazy Mountain. When old Thomas and Ju An parked the car, the owner of the racecourse came up to him and gave Thomas a big hug.
Hug, and then he and Ju An also had a big bear hug.
The owner of the racecourse is in his fifties, with a tall and burly figure, and a golden belt buckle on his bulging belly. Old Thomas then introduced the owner of the racecourse, Jason. It turned out that old Jason was an outstanding person when he was young.
According to Thomas, almost every bone of the rodeo cowboy was broken. After getting married, his wife did not want him to engage in such a dangerous rodeo, so she specialized in running a horse farm. It is said that the practice of riding wild horses without a saddle is still maintained.
Montana Records.
Listening to Thomas's compliments, Old Jason suddenly beamed with joy. He forced two people to visit his honor room. When they entered the living room of Old Jason's house, Ju An felt a little dizzy.
Belt buckles are placed on the entire wall of the living room, and there are about a dozen saddles placed near the fireplace. These saddles should hardly be called saddles but works of art. Some are wrapped with silver ornaments engraved with various patterns. Each one is
The saddles are extremely luxurious and breathtaking.
Listening to Old Jason's introduction about what game this was from, and what game it was from, after introducing for a while, a girl came in, with half-length blond hair tied behind her head, wearing a purple plaid long-sleeved shirt on her upper body, and her lower body
Wearing loose jeans and long riding boots with spurs, he looks indescribably heroic.
Old Jason introduced his daughter Lily to Ju An.
After shaking hands, Lily heard that Ju An was from China, so she looked at Ju An curiously, and then reminded old Jason that the horses had been picked out, and Jason's wife Isa invited the guests over.
Old Jason took Thomas into the fence and started to accompany Thomas to choose, while Ju An lay on the fence with his hands and watched the horses in the fence.
"Hey, are you from China?" Lily walked up to Ju An, held the railing with her right hand, and stared at Ju An in surprise with her big blue eyes.
"Yeah." It was the first time that Ju An was so close to a beautiful blonde, so he was a little nervous.
Lily looked at Ju An's slightly blushing face and asked with a smile: "Is the Great Wall fun? Is the Forbidden City really big? Is it the largest palace in the world?"
Ju An rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "I have never been to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, so I don't know how to answer your question."
"If I have time, I must go and see it. I just saw the Great Wall in a picture book. It is really spectacular. It winds up and down on the top of the mountain. I really don't know how you Chinese built it thousands of years ago.
It's great." Lily's eyes reflected excitement.
Looking at the excited eyes of this young girl, Ju An said enthusiastically: "I also want to see the Great Wall. If you can't see the Great Wall, you are not a hero." Then he explained to this foreign girl what it means to be a man if you can't see the Great Wall.
"If you are free, maybe we can go to the bj to see the Great Wall together," Ju An said with a smile.
Lily smiled and asked: "Are you asking me out?"
"Cough, cough" Ju An blushed heavily at the cheerful girl.
Lily looked at Ju An and laughed briskly.
After getting past this awkward topic, Ju An and Lily talked about the ranch he bought. They mentioned the new name of his ranch, Xishuihe Ranch.
"I can't tell that you are the one who bought the Straw Hat Flower Ranch. You really don't look like a billionaire." Lily looked at Ju An curiously.
"What kind of billionaire?" Ju An asked in confusion.
"You don't know? The most amazing news during this period is this. The newspaper said that a young billionaire in the East purchased a ranch for $47 million. Everyone is talking about this and they all say they don't know.
Another old guy from the East who has too much money and doesn’t know how to spend it has lost his mind," Lily said.
"Oh, I haven't read the newspaper these days." Ju An smiled and looked at Lily who was full of surprise.
"You are really not old, and you are still very young. I can tell my friends that I have met a billionaire, and he is not an old guy." Lily smiled happily.
Looking at the excited Lily, Ju An was speechless. It seemed that neither domestic nor foreign races could stop a woman from gossiping.
The two of them started chatting about Ju'an's ranch.
"Lily, your phone number." At this time, a girl slightly older than Lily came over and said to Lily.
Her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Lily's, but her face is thinner than Lily's, and she is much taller than Lily, almost as tall as Ju An. She wears a white cowboy hat, a blue shirt, and tall riding boots.
"This is my sister, Reese. Sister, this is what they call the boring old man from the East these days," Lily said with a smile.
"Don't be so rude, Lily, go find you at your friend." Reese looked at Ju An apologetically.
Lily stuck out her tongue, smiled and ran away.
"I'm sorry, Lily means no harm." Reese looked at Ju An and stretched out her hand.
"It's okay, Lily is very cheerful." Ju An shook hands with Reese.
After chatting with Ju An for a few words, Reese apologized and went to do her own business.
Ju An continued to watch Thomas and Jason choose horses.
Old Jason was holding the horse's head, and Thomas was lifting the hind legs of a chestnut horse. The two old men were chatting about something. Ju An's impression of the people here these days is that they are enthusiastic, cheerful, and meticulous in his work.
Like old Thomas, he won Ju An's trust in just a few days.
Just like this, basking in the warm sunshine and looking at the beautiful scenery around me, I feel an indescribable tranquility in my heart. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only the unknown birds chirping happily around me, and there is no constraint of clocking in and out.
Become lazy and brisk.
I don't know how long it took for Ju An to recover from the scene in front of him. At this time, old Thomas also chose the horse.
"An, I have chosen six horses, four quarters and two wild horses. Come and take a look." Old Thomas waved to Ju An. Ju An retracted his thoughts and walked towards Thomas and the others.
Six horses with shiny coats have been gathered together. This time the colors are much better than in the morning. There is a big green horse and a black horse. The rest are still chestnut. These horses are all about six or seven years old.
They are all well-trained pasture horses.
Ju An looked at it casually and nodded. To be honest, Ju An only looked at the appearance of the horse. He didn't know anything about the injury or the body.
After putting the six big horses on the trailer and returning to our ranch, the sun was almost setting.
Wynn and Nancy had gathered the cattle and sheep together and let the three tiger guys watch. They were getting the ten big horses into the stables and adding fodder. It was already dark.
After a simple dinner and some big bones for the tigers, Ju An walked to the corridor, poured a cup of tea and sat on the rocking chair, looking at the stars in the sky, drinking a few sips of tea, and his ears were ringing from time to time.
There were a few sounds of cattle and sheep braying, and then the barking of tiger heads and others, which was very pleasant.
At this time, old Thomas came over. Ju An poured a cup of tea for old Thomas and asked Thomas to sit down.
"Why don't Wynn and Nancy come out for a walk?" Ju An asked.
"Nancy went to the stable to take care of the horses, and Wynn is checking the machinery in the warehouse. In a few days, he will prepare the winter grass. This is too sloppy." Old Thomas replied: "Tomorrow, they will probably get up at half past five.
First drive the cattle and sheep to their respective pastures, then clean the stables and brush the horses, there is a lot to do."
"Then what is my task tomorrow?" Ju An asked.
Thomas smiled and said: "Boss, there are no arrangements. You can sleep until dawn, but if you want, you can also get up at 5:30 tomorrow to help clean up the stables and sweep horse manure. By the way, Ann, your riding skills
How about it?".
Ju An smiled: "I have been riding for about twenty or thirty hours, and there is no problem in riding a horse."
"Then tomorrow, after brushing the horse, I will choose a docile one for you. Go to the venue and let me take a look." Old Thomas nodded.
"Well, then I'll have to work hard for you tomorrow." Ju An thanked Thomas.
"God bless, the pasture is getting better and better. I took a look just now. The grass is growing very well. I have never seen such good grass in all my life as a cowboy. It is much thicker than ordinary grass, and the grass blades are also wider.
Double, we have a saying here, the pastures are not for cattle and sheep, but for grass. Only rich pastures can raise good cattle and sheep." Old Thomas got a little excited when he mentioned pastures.
That's because I didn't dare to add more water to the pond. If I had poured two more buckets of water, I guess the grass would have grown up overnight just after the cows finished eating. That wouldn't scare you to death. Ju An was secretly pleased with himself.
After chatting with Thomas for a while, Thomas got up and said that he was going to see the cattle and sheep. When he got up, he reminded Ju An that if possible, he would bring over some more dogs like tiger heads. He even praised the tiger heads.
He is said to be so smart that he can drive cattle almost better than an old cattle dog.
Yes, I will get some Chinese garden dogs next time I return to China. They will be raised in the space for a while and then released. Ju An looked at the stars in the sky and made quick calculations in his mind.
