After the brief gag just now, Cole's mood couldn't help but ease a lot, and he sorted out his thoughts, "We're going to buy some riding horses, and then some racing horses." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Russell nodded, thinking for a moment, "Riding a horse is going to be ridden now?" Or as a gift? ”

Cole glanced at Lu Li uncertainly—the current tourism plan for the ranch had only just been planned, and there was no certainty when it would be implemented or what the scale would be. However, Lu Li looked like a shopkeeper, and he had no intention of interjecting at all, Ke Er could only estimate according to his own thoughts, "Ride now, it's better to be younger and docile." “

Russell didn't cut to the chase right away, but continued to ask, "What about racing horses?" Is it for your own use? ”

Cole shook his head, "I'm preparing for the May Athletic Conference now, where is the time. The tone couldn't help but be a little lighter, "We train ourselves to prepare for next year's athletic conference, and we also want to see the breeders/horses." ”

"Ha, so, you're trying to steal my business." Russell joked heroically, but he turned around without paying attention, waved his hand, motioned for the two to follow, and then took a step towards the stable, "If you want to ride a horse, I have a very good quality quart, I suggest you buy a horse about four years old, it doesn't take much effort to train, I heard that Jessica is going to your ranch?" She has the best set, a horse in her hands, a few hours to be docile. ”

As he spoke, Lu Li saw the snow-white horses in front of him, with supple hair, bright eyes, and strong muscles, as if they had come out of a fairy tale, which made Lu Li stop and probe forward curiously, but he didn't expect that this action immediately triggered a chain reaction, and the horse sneezed heavily at Lu Li, and the front hooves trampled uneasily, circling around in the narrow space.

Lu Li was taken aback, reflexively took a big step back, and the feeling of rejection of animals in his heart came out again, but he didn't expect that there was a burst of warmth behind him, accompanied by a loud nose. Lu Li jumped up directly, and when he looked back, there was a tall beige horse behind him, with streamlined shoulder and back muscles that looked toned and elegant, looking at Lu Li condescendingly, constantly chewing something, which made people shudder.

There is an attack on the left, and there is danger on the right, Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his muscles stiffened in the middle, at a loss.

"Haha, this is a rookie who hasn't touched a horse, right?" Russell actually had time to gloat and tease, which really made Lu Li very helpless, "Don't worry, it's good that you don't approach easily, it seems that they don't like you very much." ”

When he came into contact with chestnuts before, he succeeded in one time, so much so that Lu Li forgot Cole's words: horses choose people. Now it seems that there is a connection between man and horse, and if the connection is not successful, the incident just now will happen.

Cole beckoned to Lu Li, "Don't try to touch them with your hands, then it'll be fine." These words made Lu Li feel a little relieved, looked left and right, and sure enough, the two horses did not make any further movements, so he hurriedly walked forward quickly, and sighed to Cole, "Sure enough, I am not the kind of person who is treated by animals. This made Cole laugh again.

"I've heard, you bought a large batch of Angus cattle?" After receiving a nod in the affirmative, Russell continued, "It was only fitting that Quart, they are the best cattle herders and have an incredible talent for herding cattle. ”

Lu Li couldn't help but look at Cole curiously, "Is the Dutch a quart?" Cole nodded in affirmation, which suddenly opened Lu Li's eyes, "Chestnuts too?" Again, Cole replied in the affirmative.

Unconsciously, Russell successfully diverted Lu Li's attention, and the panic just now gradually calmed down. After Lu Li realized this, his impression of Russell changed again, this cowboy who seemed to be open-mouthed, thick and fine, was still a kind and simple town resident.

As he spoke, Russell led the two of them to another area, "As for racing horses, I have a good quality Serra-France horse here, bred by pure French breeders/horses; However, I would recommend the Hannover horses even more, this batch is all from Germany, and they also have the Akkha-Takma bloodline, which gives them more slender limbs and more stamina, suitable for jumping, racing and obstacles, and is definitely the best choice for competition. “

Ke Er noticed Lu Li's puzzled gaze, and immediately explained, "It's the Akhal-Teke horse, which is native to West Asia. “

Lu Li's eyes lit up immediately, he knew that this kind of horse, commonly known as "sweat and blood BMW", this is also the most frequent type in Chinese/Chinese martial arts novels, Lu Li, who grew up reading Jin Yong Gulong, has an inexplicable intimacy and yearning for this kind of horse.

Following Russell's gesture, Lu Li saw the Hanover horse standing next to him, his dark hair was exuding a faint halo even if he was not shrouded by lights, and his slender and muscular limbs could clearly see the developed muscles, and the beautiful muscle lines made people want to reach out and touch them if they didn't recognize them.

However, after the lesson just now, Lu Li became more cautious, and took a step forward cautiously, after making sure that the horse did not resist, he took another step, the hot snort was a little familiar and a little unfamiliar, Lu Li looked at the horse in front of him curiously, and inadvertently, he met the horse in front of him.

The horse glanced at Lu Li, and then turned his head away, there was no resistance, but there was no intimacy, that unruly look made Lu Li can't help but start to boil his blood. Although he knew that this was a Hanover horse, and he had only inherited part of the bloodline of the bloody BMW, he still couldn't help but fantasize in his mind, what would it be like if he rode on it?

"What, you want to buy one?" Russell's smiling inquiry rang out in his ears.

Lu Li shook his head, "No, I just want to ride and see, I don't know what it's like." He and Chestnut are now familiar with each other, and he has adapted to the rhythm of Chestnut, and if the horses are replaced, there will inevitably be a run-in period, and he feels that he should first cultivate a tacit understanding with Chestnut, and then consider riding other horses when he can ride Chestnut in the pasture.

"If you're curious, try it." Russell actively proposed, but Lu Li waved his hand again and again, he had already suffered enough when he rode the chestnut, and the horse in front of him looked even more difficult to serve, Lu Li felt that he should not be this material, this action made Russell laugh, "Don't worry, this is a hybrid horse, relatively speaking, it is relatively docile." It doesn't seem very repulsive to you, and if you take a little time to make a good connection, you'll be fine. ”

"Hybrids are more docile?" Lu Li learned new knowledge again.

"Yes." Russell replied in the affirmative, "Thoroughbreds seem to be preferred by the average person, but they are difficult to tame and difficult to handle. Unless you're a professional jockey, don't try it, it won't end too well. Thoroughbreds are not many nowadays, and they are not often found on the British racetrack, unless some nobleman breeds them himself, then hires a senior professional jockey to train them, and then races, even on the racetrack, the hybrid horse is the main player. ”

Although there is no connection between Lu Li and the animals, he can't help but wonder what a thoroughbred looks like at this time, and what it feels like to ride on it. It must be admitted that horseback riding is indeed a very special sport, and the feeling of soaring can be addictive, and Lu Li Nature is no exception.

"So, your choice?" Russell brought the conversation back again.

Cole looked at Lu Li uncertainly, because he didn't know what Lu Li's budget was, in the face of Lu Li's inquiry, the two of them still walked to the side, Cole explained, "The words of the Serra French horse are French warmbloods, they are very good at jumping, as a competitive horse, very good; Hannover horses are a bit better, but they are also more expensive. ”

Lu Li nodded in understanding, "Then Hanover Horse." Since we are going to build a horse farm, we can't save on the upfront investment, can we? Quality and heritage are determined at the beginning. What about breeds/horses? ”

"It's better to buy thoroughbreds and then we breed them ourselves. Russell doesn't have any good breeders/horses here. Cole explained, pausing, "Good breeders/horses are also very expensive, especially those with noble blood. ”

"Buy Quart and Hanover today. I'll talk about it next time. Lu Li made the final decision, and then Cole and Russell went to choose the horses, which is different from cattle and sheep, the horses must be selected slowly one by one, each one is not allowed to be sloppy, it is a test of eyesight, which is also the reason why Cole is nervous, the whole process is very long, it took nearly two hours, and the selection was completed.

In the end, Cole chose fifteen quart horses and thirty Hanover horses to complete the last shopping task of the day.

When Lu Li saw the purchase contract, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the price of each horse is different, the cheapest Quart horse is also 850 US dollars, and the most expensive Hanover horse is directly 6,000 US dollars. Thirty-five horses were bought, and the total price was as high as 170,000, and Lu Li's fingers couldn't help but tremble.

Sure enough, he still hadn't adapted to the life of a rich man, and there was no way to look at that long string of zeros as a meaningless number. Today, we will buy cattle, sheep and horses, and we will update the supporting facilities, plus the purchase of grain and feed...... And that's just the animal part. Lu Li suddenly felt that a painting of Degas seemed to be unable to withstand too much tossing.

I thought so in my heart, but on the surface, Lu Li was silent, signed his name with a stroke of the pen, and then signed a check to complete the transaction. That understatement, nonchalant gesture looks like a billionaire entirely.

Lu Li couldn't help but comfort himself, although his heart was dripping blood, he finally pretended to be a local tyrant, didn't he?
