Lee Sang-ha chose the Jeju Island Horse Riding Course, which is the only horse riding course in Jeju Island that has reached the top royal level.
All horses have been strictly trained and are accompanied by professional trainers. Visitors do not have to worry about their own skills, even those who are beginners in horse riding can ride safely.
What disappoints Li Xianghe is that the horse riding here is for one person and one horse, and it is not what she first imagined...couples riding in pairs.
The reason is none other than the small size of Jeju horses.
It's okay to ride alone, but two people crowded together will affect the riding experience. Therefore, if you want to experience riding with two people, you can only choose a tall horse with pure blood.
This... this is too embarrassing!
In costume dramas, it’s not all about chivalrous women holding their beloved handsome men and galloping on horses.
How come you have changed when you come to your own place?
Although he was helpless, Li Xianghe could only accept the fact that it was different from his imagination.
With the help of the trainer, the two put on protective gear, stepped on the saddle and sat on the horse's back.
Since it was his first time riding, Su Yuhang carefully shook the reins in his hands, fearing that the horse beneath him would shake him off.
Li Xianghe, on the other hand, was very bold, as if he had had corresponding experience before. He was very familiar with it, and soon he was steering his white horse around in circles.
The racecourse is located on the top of an empty mountain top and covers a very large area. Visitors can fly freely in the venue and feel the freedom of fish leaping in the ocean and birds flying in the sky.
After getting familiar with the red date horse, Su Yuhang also experienced the pleasure of riding a horse and galloping.
The mountain wind passed by my ears, and the red date horse under me was flapping its hooves. In a trance, I actually had the illusion of joyful revenge and revenge in the rivers and lakes.
After finishing the horse riding service, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
According to the previous travel plan, we finally went to a farm near Ilchulbong Peak to buy the local specialty - Jeju Island sweet orange.
Due to South Korea's geographical location and land area, the local fruit production is very small. Most of the fruits can only be imported. With tariffs and packaging costs, the prices are unimaginably expensive.
Fruits like strawberries and grapes are not sold by the pound, but sold one by one.
The same goes for sweet oranges, a local specialty of Jeju Island.
Although they are local fruits, because of the added value brought by Jeju Island as a tourist attraction, the price is almost the same as those of imported fruits.
Perhaps due to an invisible fate, while taking a taxi on the roadside, Li Xianghe actually took a taxi from the previous aunt again.
Seeing two familiar faces, the aunt turned her head and greeted them warmly.
"We are so destined, why don't we leave each other's contact information, and I can pick up and drop off at any time." She turned the steering wheel and asked Li Xianghe for his opinion.
Since today is only the first day of travel for the two of them, and they will go to other places in Jeju Island later, Li Xianghe nodded in agreement and exchanged phone numbers with each other.
"Where are you going?"
“I want to go to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak and taste the sweet oranges here.”
"I want to eat sweet oranges." The aunt nodded and determined the route. "Seriously, if you want to taste the original sweet oranges, it's best to go to the farmers over there. Their sweet oranges are all fresh from the trees.
The price of picked fruits is much cheaper compared to the fruit markets in Jeju Island.”
As a local resident of Jeju Island, she naturally knows where to taste the best-tasting sweet oranges.
"And... we also provide takeout service here. You can buy some more and take them back to your relatives and friends in Seoul to try them."
In the previous chat, the aunt knew that Li Xianghe and Su Yuhang were traveling from Seoul.
"They don't like eating sweet oranges very much." Li Xianghe answered matter-of-factly.
At this moment, her nature of knocking on the door was completely exposed. She had no intention of bringing some fruit back to Blank and the others.
Such expensive fruit... should be left to me and Su Yuhang.
Just be a little aggrieved and you can share a sweet orange among a few of you.
After all, you only need to taste the fruit. Eating too much costs money!
"Who doesn't like to eat sweet oranges from Jeju Island?" The aunt smiled from ear to ear, as if she understood the subtext of Sister Li's words.
In order for the two of them to taste fresh sweet oranges as soon as possible, the aunt chose to park at a farmhouse near Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak.
After getting off the bus, you can see the local farmhouses through the field paths.
Not far away are lush sweet orange trees, and next to them are slightly bare rape fields.
Just like what Auntie said, the sweet oranges provided by the farmers here are all freshly picked and very fresh.
The strong old woman picked out sweet oranges for the two of them with scissors.
Peel off the peel and you can clearly see the large pulp inside, which exudes a rich fragrance.
When you take a bite, it is full of sweetness and the grains inside are very full.
Seemingly sensing Su Yuhang's fondness for sweet oranges, Li Xianghe bought a lot of them and put them in his travel bag to prepare them as dessert after dinner.
As the old lady said "goodbye", the two returned home with a full load.
Originally, Li Xianghe planned to take the aunt's car back to the hotel.
But for the sake of saving money, Su Yuhang shook his head and refused.
"It's quite far from the Oriental Hotel, and the taxi fare is too expensive."
The two took a taxi to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, then came here to buy sweet oranges, and took a taxi again. The two taxi fares together were enough to eat a couple's seafood meal at the hotel.
"How about we take the bus?" Li Xianghe suggested.
There is a direct bus back to the hotel, and the bus station is not far away.
"Then take the bus." Su Yuhang nodded in agreement.
As expected of the boy I like, he is exactly the same as me in terms of saving money. Li Xianghe couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we rushed back to the Oriental Hotel. After dinner in the restaurant, the two of them went back to the room to wash up.
After taking a shower, Li Xianghe put on a bathrobe and dialed Mata's phone to report today's battle situation to her.
"Sister Li...are you back from your trip?" Zhao Shiheng asked.
She is currently eating barbecue with Jin Hekui, and the pork belly is sizzling in the grill pan.
"Just returned to the hotel," Li Xianghe replied while wiping his wet long hair.
"So how is the situation? Are there any unexpected developments?" Mata asked with a wink.
"It's not just an unexpected progress, it's a major breakthrough!" Li Xianghe couldn't hide his excitement and suddenly raised his voice. "I held hands with Su Yuhang today, did you know?"
I didn't know it just now, but I know it now.
Zhao Shiheng bit into a piece of barbecue on the dinner plate and frowned slightly. This barbecue... why does it taste like cat food?
