Banker is obsessed with wine and raising horses. Probably because of the climate, he couldn't grow grapes in England, but he had wineries in France and Italy. However, the UK is a great country for raising horses. Bank has a horse farm right behind the estate with more than thirty racehorses.

Link was also fortunate to have learned a lot about wine before, otherwise there would have been no common topic in today's conversation. And Jessica won't be left out in the cold. Her mother owned a winery and now provided pest control for the winery, so she probably knew more about wine than Link.

Banker was very interested in Link's wines. Be amazed in particular by the grapes grown at the Ozette farm.

"I heard that it was a temperate rainforest climate and it was unbelievable. Although the rainfall of temperate rainforests is not as high as that of tropical rainforests, its rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. So, I think it's probably even wetter than the rainforest. It is already very surprising that grapes can be grown in such a humid climate. Albert, on the other hand, said that the grapes were perfect for winemaking. I believe he will not exaggerate. ”

Link laughs, "Maybe I was lucky enough to buy a grape that has been grafted at least seven times." The grapes have the ability to grow in humid climates, and the soil of Ozette is just right for them. ”

"Maybe that's the only way to explain!" Banker had to agree with him. Because it is impossible to explain that the grapes of the Ozette farm have not been destroyed by all kinds of mycoses.

This is Jessica suddenly saying, "I beg your pardon, I need to touch up!" She was just wearing light makeup, and her face didn't fall off. But both men knew what she meant.

Bank showed her the way.

By the time she got back into the living room, Link was still talking about wine.

Not only did Bank buy two wineries of his own, but he is also a retailer specializing in high-quality wines in the United Kingdom, with branches in more than 40 cities in the United Kingdom. Link came to visit him this time in the hope that his wine would land in England.

Banker also gave a positive answer to his request: "As long as your wine is good enough." I don't think I could refuse to sell them. ”

Seeing that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Link also offered his farewell.

Jessica discovers that Link is heading northeast, and according to the plan, they should go northwest. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we going to Kendall?"

Link laughed and said, "I'm going to buy Hannah a present." ”

They drove more than ten miles and stopped outside a farm on the side of the road. Jessica could see the horses on the farm from the car: "Oh my God, there are so many zebras. How do you know here. Are these all Gipsy Fanilma?" she knew that not all horses with long manes and spots were Jepsi Fanielma. But Link came here on purpose, and there was no reason she didn't understand.

Buying gifts for Hannah may have been part of the reason, but he must have come here because he expressed his yearning for this kind of horse on the road.

Her face was full of emotion, and she pulled Link to give him a deep kiss and said, "Thank you!

Link laughs and says, "I've heard that the Gipsy Vanir horses are forest horses, and I think they should be able to adapt to the climate of Ozete. Later we can ride horses on the farm. This kind of horse is really handsome. ”

"Well, maybe when I get back, I can give Hannah a pony cart. Such a horse is most suitable for a carriage. Hannah will love it. ”

Link saw someone on the farm see their car coming towards the farm fence gate. He laughed and said, "Maybe you can buy a bigger one." In our free time, maybe the three of us can walk around the farm. ”

He got out of the car.

When the owner of the farm saw him get out of the car, he asked loudly from afar, "Is there anything wrong?"

Link also replied loudly, "We wanted to buy some Jepsi Vanel horses, and Mr. Banker from Yumura recommended that I come here to have a look." He said you sell purebred Gipsi Vanirma here. ”

When the farmer heard him say this, he smiled more and said, "Yes." Our horse farm mainly sells Jepsi Vanier horses. He opened the door to the farm and said. "Please come in first!"

Link thanked him and got in the car and drove in.

The owner of this horse farm has a family living here. He first introduced Link to his family. His father was Scottish, and his mother was a gypsy, so he was half gypsies.

He took Link to see the horses and said, "Gypsy Vannirma is an important companion of the Gypsies, and all the Gypsies love them. They have a docile temperament and are very intelligent and very capable of learning. Therefore, it is especially liked by children, and the parents of children are also very comfortable with this kind of docile horse, and do not want them to go crazy and hurt their children. ”

Link had seen a herd of horses grazing in the grass in the distance and asked, "Are they all black and white?"

"Mostly black and white, red and white, and brown and white. There are also monochrome colors, white, black, red, brown, and so on. ”

Link saw a few monochrome horses and asked, "Are these horses already registered?"

"Yes, because it is a commercial horse farm, every horse has a pedigree hierarchy. In England, this horse is not the most popular horse though. You know, the English prefer horse racing. And the Jepsi Vanierma is even more loved by the children. ”

"Can we ride them?"

"Sure, but you like that one?"

Link pointed to a black horse and said, "I'll try that horse!"

"It's a little stallion, the worst-tempered horse in the farm! ”

"That's fine. Link asked Jessica with a smile. "Which one do you like?"

"The red one, I like the white of its forehead. ”

When the owner of the stable, seeing that they had chosen, went and fetched two saddles, and then put the reins and saddle the red horse first.

He also said, "You see, they are very docile and cooperative. Look at their broad chests, strong limbs, and wide and short torsos. This gives them great stamina and strength. Therefore, they are ideal for riding or pulling horses. ”

After he had saddled his horse, he asked Jessica to try to "communicate" with the red horse before going to reins the black horse.

The reason Link liked this horse was because it looked taller and more muscular than the others. It took several attempts before the owner of the horse farm managed to get close to it and saddle it. He said to Link, "You need to be a little careful with this horse. It's only two years old, and when it comes to training, it looks a little restless. ”

Link stood next to the horse's head, stroked the horse's neck, and plucked some grass for it.

The black horse snorted a few times, and twisted his head away several times. If it weren't for Link's strength and the owner of the stable, he might have wanted to break free from the reins.

By this time, Jessica was already running in the pasture of the horse farm.

Finally, the black horse ate the grass in Link's hand. Link pressed the saddle twice as instructed by the owner of the horse farm, and then turned over and got on the horse after seeing that the horse did not react too much.

As soon as he got on his horse, the black horse ran forward, not slow.

The owner of the horse farm hurriedly said to Link: "Relax, don't be nervous. ”

It's not the first time Link has ridden a horse, and of course he knows that he can't be nervous when riding. Otherwise, the horse will not be able to understand the rider's reaction, and the man and the horse will not be able to cooperate, which is more likely to cause accidents. And although the speed of this black horse is a little faster than the speed he rode before, the back of this Jepsi Vanier horse is a little wider, and the horse is not particularly bumpy. He understood that the horse was just trying to run, not to throw it off.

He followed the essentials of horseback riding, using his feet to support himself in the stirrups, and his whole body rose and fell with the frequency of the horse's running. The dark horse also seemed to get excited, and soon overtook Jessica's red horse, and when it overtook the red horse, it also neighed. Link could even hear the smug emotion in its voice.

Jessica also refused to admit defeat, and kicked the horse's belly with both feet to drive the horse to chase after her. The two horses ran faster and faster, but the black horse still took the red horse around.

Discouraged, Jessica grabbed the reins, stopped the red horse, and rolled over and dismounted. She's been riding four or five laps now, and she's pretty happy with the horse. When she dismounted, she saw that the red horse's breathing had not changed much. The sweat on his body is not too much. Know that this is at least a relatively healthy horse.

Seeing that there was no competitor, the dark horse reluctantly stopped after being caught by Link.

Link felt that the horse was very athletic. He was also more satisfied. After he dismounted, he helped the black horse unsaddle and the reins. Let it go for free. He asked Jessica, "How do you feel?"

"Very nice. I almost felt like a female general on an ancient battlefield. Jessica smiled and stroked the red horse's neck.

She saw the black horse, which was still alive, and said, "Your horse seems to be very energetic and very fast." ”

When Link heard her say this, he knew that she was quite pleased with the red horse, so he went to the owner of the horse farm and said, "Mr. Wood, we are very pleased with both horses. What price do they cost?"

"Nine thousand pounds for the red horse, fifteen thousand pounds for the dark horse. ”

"How much worse?" Link said that although he thought that the dark horse was indeed better than the red horse, the price was also much higher.

The owner explained: "The red horse is three years old, the black horse is two years old, and it was supposed to be the next stallion I planned. You know, he's energetic!"

When Link heard him say this, he felt that it was normal for the price of dark horses to be higher. However, the price is a lot higher than Banker said. He said: "I've heard that the Gipsy vanilma is usually six thousand pounds. Your price is too high. ”

"Mr. Hans, the price you heard is the price of the horse exchange. Those horses do not guarantee pedigree. And my horses here are all registered. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "No, as far as I know, that's the price of a pure-blooded Jepsi Vanirma." And it's also the best horse. £10,000 for the dark horse and £6,000 for the red horse. ”

"That's not going to work, the price is too low. There's no way I'm going to close at this price. The owner of the horse farm shook his head again and again and said. "The lowest price, 14,000 pounds for the dark horse and 8,500 pounds for the red horse. ”

Link looked back at the black horses that were still scattering wild, groaned, and said, "Twelve thousand pounds and seven thousand pounds." I'm also going to buy two black and white ponies. ”

The owner of the horse farm hesitated for a moment and said, "Deal, five thousand pounds a pony!"

Link shook hands with him and said, "Deal!"
