205. Ranch (600+ monthly pass)
Carpentry tools are also easy to find, and Kevin Grocery has a complete set of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hans bought a set, all hand tools, which had nothing to do with electricity, which was also the demand of the Amish people.
"And a pony, let's go to a ranch and have a look, they must have it there. ”
Although Texas cowboys are the most famous in the world, in fact, in the United States, people believe that cowboy culture originated in Arizona, and Tucson City is considered to be the place of origin.
As a city in Arizona, Flagpole City naturally has a well-developed cowboy culture, and there are many ranches here.
Hans contacted a friend by phone, and then a few minutes later, a large red Ford pickup truck drove up.
The truck came straight for them, and a sudden brake stopped, and a bearded head popped out of the driver's seat: "Hey, Boss Fu, you bastard, finally contacted me?"
Li Du was startled by this sudden braking, and the car rushed over, and he was ready to use the skill of slowing down time to dodge!
Hans went up and put his arms around his head and laughed, "Haha, Nicholas, you bastard is still the same, shave off your beard, a thirty-year-old makes a fifty-year-old look like a fifty-year-old!"
The bearded man smiled: "This is called maturity, beautiful girls nowadays like mature men, I have to keep this beard." ”
The two got into the car, the bearded Nicholas Jones and Hans were fighting all the way, the pickup truck drove crookedly, and when they arrived at the ranch, Li Du was already in a cold sweat.
On the way, he understood from the conversation between the two, Hans and Jones were elementary school classmates and high school classmates, he went to Phoenix and Los Angeles two years ago, and Jones had little contact, in fact, they were iron buddies.
"I need a pony this time......"
"Simple, Quart, Mongolian, Arabian, Hanoverian, which one do you want?"
"Quart, I'm going to work on the land. "As for the Arabian horse and the Hanoverian horse, do you have any ranch? I haven't seen your family play high-end horse racing for two years?"
Jones laughed and said, "I don't have it, but I know who does, but you want to quart? ”
The Quarter horse is an entirely American breed, claimed to be the most popular horse in the world, and can be used for a variety of jobs: farming, plowing, herding, driving, riding, etc., and can be found on almost all American ranches.
As the pickup truck drove into the pasture, Li Du saw fences with cattle and sheep inside, and a herd of horses running on the most open meadow.
Pushing the car door, Jones whistled as he got out of the car.
A loud whistle fell, and a tall, fiery red horse ran towards them, its long mane fluttering in the wind, its hooves flicking, and rumbling on the ground.
Jones waved his hand vigorously, and the big red horse ran up to him.
Hans looked at the horse and said, "Is this, Mrs. Jones?"
Jones smiled and said, "yes, Mrs. Jones, how is it, has it changed a lot?"
Hans exclaimed, "My God, she's growing so fast, the last time I saw this child, she was just weaned, wasn't she?"
"But it's been years. Jones laughed.
He put his arms around the big red horse and kissed it vigorously on the face, the big red horse licked his face with his tongue, and Jones squinted his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and he could see that the man and the horse had deep feelings.
Of course, this can also be judged from the name, and it is not a common favorite to directly call one's horse 'Mrs.'.
Jones asked Li Du, "Man, how is the riding?"
Mr. Li smiled awkwardly: "Do you mean that the horse rides or I ride the horse?"
Jones laughed, "Looks like I'm going to be a teacher today, come on man, let me take you to the gallop." ”
This time it was a galloping horse, and they went to the stable, and there were well-groomed horses, not as imposing and strong as Mrs. Jones, but they were all good horses.
Entering the stable, Hans walked around inside, looking closely with his hands behind his back.
Jones said, "Man, this is not a nightclub to pick a woman, hurry up, pick any one, it's all good horses." ”
As he spoke, he took out a horse with a black body and snow-white hooves, handed it to Li Du and said, "This is Aoaisi, it will be your companion today." ”
Li Du led the horse out, and the horse fit his eyes very well.
I remember when he was in middle school, he read martial arts novels, in which the protagonist generally rides such a horse, and the name is very stylish, such as 'black hooves stepping on the snow', 'flying on the snow', 'clouds up' and so on.
O'Aisi is very well-behaved, although he is a stranger, but he walks behind him honestly, Li Du stopped, and it stopped immediately.
Hans chose a brown steed, and when he came out he mounted it, and then struck his heel skillfully on the horse's belly, flung the reins, and the steed began to trot.
Li Du and Aoaisi took a few selfies, and then humbly asked, "Jones, are there any precautions for horseback riding?"
Jones laughed, "Don't worry, you're not riding a horse yet, is this your first time touching a horse?"
"Yes. ”
Jones nodded, handed him a brush and said, "Then you have to groom your horse first, so that it can feel your kindness and tenderness to it......"
As he spoke, he picked up a brush and brushed it for Mrs. Jones, and motioned for Li Du to follow him.
"It's a soft-bristled brush, and if you're starting from scratch, you need to start with a stiff-bristled brush to brush off the dirt on it, but my dad already did it in the morning, so you just groom it with a soft-bristled brush. ”
"A horse's neck is an important part of the horse, and they tend to be sensitive here, so you have to be careful, starting with its face......"
"Keep your eyes on it, be honest and honest, let it feel your kindness, and let it feel your dominance......"
According to Jones's instructions, Li Du carefully completed these tasks.
Aois snorted a few times, his stout hooves swayed lightly on the ground, his big tail flicked around, and his eyes radiated a happy light.
Subconsciously, Li Du went to hug its head and comb its mane again.
Jones laughed when he saw it: "You did the right thing, Lee, you know how to deal with horses very well, if it weren't for Boss Fu saying that you are the king of treasure pickers, I would have introduced you to be a cowboy." ”
Hans said: "With an annual salary of one million, maybe he is also willing to be a cowboy and drive ......"
When he came back to say this, he flicked his whip, and the horse galloped away again.
Li Du said: "Don't listen to him, this guy is crazy sometimes." ”
Jones nodded: "You're right, he's really crazy. ”
He went to fetch a few more carrots and asked Li Du to feed them to Aoaisi.
When it had finished eating the carrots, Jones said, "Now, you're ready to mount!"
