Zhang Juan and others stood at the bottom of the slope not far from the horses, watching everything that happened.
At this moment, these people's hearts were a little surging. They felt that the way these cowboys were catching the horses looked like an equestrian show.
At this moment, the impressions of these cowboys overlap with the shadows of cowboys they have seen in movies and TV. Everyone seems to be working in their own way, but when they come together and work together, they are like one person.
Every movement, every sharp turn of the horse, seems to be accompanied by a melody.
When the horses bring up the gray smoke, the cowboys weave in and out, shouting and screaming, simple syllables coming out of their mouths, and everyone keeps cooperating. It is simply a kind of wild beauty with the breath of nature.
.
Cowboys, horses, and then horses and cowboys, the dynamics between them are dizzying. The roaring of people and the neighing of horses has become a unique scene in Western movies, exuding a kind of masculine beauty.
, the beauty of strength.
Especially Sun Yanping, who filmed this scene. He thought that if it was paired with music, it could be used as an advertisement.
People like Zhang Chi did not feel any sense of beauty in it, because they were focused on the tasks in their hands and had no time to think about whether their movements on the horse were handsome or charming.
At this time, they can only think about the work at hand. Once they leave the job, it may cause irreparable pain. At this time, apart from concentrating, you can only be careful and have no time to think about how to be cool.
That was making a movie, not real life. Life is never a light song, nor a lingering stage play. It is responsibility, a heavy burden, and the burst of friendship in labor.
But Zhang Juan, Sun Yanping, including Zhang Youpeng and the Zhang family are different. What they see is not the technical issues. They only see whether it looks good or not, they see the excitement, they see the smoke and dust, and they see the cowboys leading their horses.
Holding the reins, weaving through the herd of horses like a juggler, and finally harnessing the horse.
Of course it looks good, at least it looks good to people like them. At this moment, Sun Yanping realized that his riding skills were not even comparable to the level of a preschool class in front of these people.
Sun Yanping used to think that there was nothing difficult about riding a horse. It was just running on a horse and knowing how to do two movements on the horse. He didn't grow up on a horse, but now he seems to be a good rider.
Only then did he understand why in history, farming peoples were generally unable to defeat nomadic peoples in the wild.
The riding skills he saw now were enough to explain the problem. No matter what posture or angle the horse was riding on, the cowboys on horseback were always at a ninety-degree angle perpendicular to the horse's back.
Sometimes when you see cowboys, it seems that their whole bodies hit the ground for a moment, but they still maintain this state, as if the horse is carrying a wooden man instead of a living person.
Sun Yanping admired this kind of waist strength. He used to think that when people talked about riding horses to lose weight, he thought riding horses lost weight. Seeing this scene, he really believed that riding horses can really lose weight. What kind of core strength is needed to lose weight?
Horseback riding in this position!
At this time, Kevin whispered to Cannon: "BOSS's riding skills are quite high."
Cannon turned his head and glanced at Kevin slightly: "That's because you haven't seen BOSS's efforts. BOSS has done almost all farm work with me, so don't use those guys who play ranch and our BOSS
Compare".
Kevin smiled: "I know."
Then Kevin shut his mouth. Kevin actually knew that BOSS's biggest fan was Cannon, and Cannon would not allow anyone to speak ill of BOSS in front of him.
Of course, Kevin also admitted that the reward from BOSS was worthy of Cannon's loyalty, and Kevin himself was one of the beneficiaries.
Looking at salary alone, the treatment at Zhangchi Ranch is indeed not much different from other ranches, but with monthly bonuses, plus some dividends from selling livestock, the income in a year is obviously higher than that of nearby cowboys.
Big cut.
Of course, even if it is a lot higher, it is not as high as the average salary in places like New York. But what are cowboys? They are almost all low-educated and have no knowledge. They are almost equivalent to being illiterate. You want to find someone with a high salary?
If you want to work, then people will want you too.
Don't give any examples of truck drivers making movies. That's just an example. There are so many truck drivers in the United States. Besides Cameron, is there anyone else who can make movies?
There are people who are uneducated and can make a fortune, but what does that have to do with ordinary people? If someone has that kind of skill, you don’t have to work as a cowboy.
So Kevin does appreciate Zhang Chi, but if you ask him to be as grateful to Zhang Chi as Cannon, that would be unrealistic. What Cannon and Zhang Chi have experienced, Kevin will not experience. Naturally
There is no such feeling.
Sun Yanping couldn't understand what the two said, but he said to Zhang Juan: "I really didn't expect that riding skills can be like this."
Zhang Juan was a little proud: "I asked you to give up the inferior riding skills you learned from a fool a long time ago and switch to riding like ours. I tell you, it's very urgent to change now."
After saying that, Zhang Juan said to her father and grandfather behind her: "Sir, dad, you can change it if you want to."
Zhang Youpeng and Zhang Jiaren smiled and ignored her. In fact, no one taught them how to ride. The father and son's childhood life could be said to be pasting and copying. When they were young, they herded cows and rode them. When the buffaloes were replaced by scalpers, they
Just ride an ox. Riding an ox is much more difficult than riding a buffalo. Generally, oxen are not allowed to be ridden. Once you can sit firmly on the back of the ox, it is not too difficult to ride on a horse.
This riding method is the most primitive and most instinctive way. Cannon and other cowboys watched the two riding and did not put forward any major opinions. First, because they were both a bit old and could not change back.
Well, secondly, there was nothing awkward about their riding styles.
If the posture when sitting on the horse is too ugly, then the riding method must be wrong. If it looks good, then there is nothing wrong with the riding method.
This thing is the cooperation between man and horse. If you and the horse can cooperate in action, the posture will not be incorrect or not good-looking.
There is a saying that follows nature, which means following the rules of how things develop. The same is true for riding skills. If you obey the rules of the horse, the horse will not throw you off because of discomfort.
"Let's forget it, we don't ride it often. We won't be able to ride it when we get home," Zhang Jiaren said with a smile.
Sun Yanping said: "Master, how about we find a place to raise horses when we go back? Then we can also make money outside."
Zhang Juan said: "Forget it, let's do it, where will the money come from?"
Zhang Juan had never thought that she could spend her brother's money on her own. Although she was a bit careless, she also knew that she couldn't rely on her brother. She already had a family. If she took money from her brother, wouldn't she be a vampire?
.Only when you earn and spend your own money can you be like a sister in front of your younger brother, and you will be confident when talking to your younger brother.
She didn't want to live under someone else's roof, even if it was her biological brother.
Sun Yanping has never thought about this matter. He is originally big-hearted and easily satisfied, so it is impossible for him to think about his wife's brother's money.
"It's enough if we don't build a big one. It's not expensive to enclose land in our hometown. We can enclose ten or twenty acres, raise a few horses, and pad them with mud. I think the stables of Dachi's house are also good."
Just like that, we can definitely do it," Sun Yanping said.
Zhang Youpeng said: "You thought so well, you just opened your mouth and got ten acres and twenty acres of land. Who gave you the land?"
While everyone was chattering, Zhang Chi rode over.
"Let's go".
Zhang Juan looked at her younger brother and asked, "Is this good?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Then what else do you want?"
"You can go back when you feel better. It's still early in the morning," Zhang Jiaren said.
Zhang Chi explained: "It's so fast. Now is the first wave. There are still seven or eight waves coming from Miller's side."
"What are you doing catching so many horses?" Zhang Juan asked.
Zhang Chi said: "They didn't tell me, and I didn't ask, so this matter has nothing to do with us."
Miller's explanation for catching the horses was very vague, and Zhang Chi didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, for him, it was just to help Miller, his friend, by opening a tourist ranch with relatives and friends, selling the horses, and
Zhang Chi doesn't have much to do with him.
"Then what's next? Go back?" Zhang Youpeng asked.
Zhang Chi hummed: "Go back and wait for the horses to regroup. Then you can harness the second group when you come back. The horses here are harnessed. Maybe we will go to other horse groups in the afternoon to take a look.
”.
After hearing what Zhang Chi said, everyone followed Zhang Chi back to the camp on the slope.
Cannon and Kevin did not follow the Zhang Chi family to the camp. They now rode horses to meet the returning cowboys. They now wanted to help the cowboys simply train the horses so that they could be suitable for transporting carriages.
If the horse cannot quickly adapt to the carriage, kicking and biting as soon as it enters the carriage, or even hitting its head against the carriage, then the horse will not stay no matter how good it is, because horses have their own problems, but you are transporting horses on the road.
When a horse died, firstly, it had a bad reputation, and secondly, it was troublesome to deal with the horse carcass.
Therefore, it does not mean that the two horses that are roped in now will be lucky in the end. We still have to see what their temperaments are.
As mentioned before, the temperament of mares is quite good, not as violent as that of male horses. This is a general evaluation. When it comes to individuals, sometimes this is not completely true. Some mares have more violent tempers than ordinary male horses.
This is like, everyone always thinks that women are weak, but some women, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are murderous, and they are no less cruel than men.
There are also such shrews among horses. They bite and kick others, or they just pretend to be nice first. When you get on their back, they will take advantage of you not paying attention and come to the dry land to pick the onions, leaving the golden rooster alone.
If you are unlucky, or if you are careless at this time, the whole village may have to eat together with gongs and drums.
Therefore, everyone must first feel the horse's temperament, keep the good ones, and throw away the bad ones.
