The impact of the live firing was somewhat beyond expectations, and Lu Li could feel the pain in his shoulder for the next few days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's not that it's serious, it doesn't affect normal activities, and there are no arms that can't be turned, just muscle aches, but you can still feel the obvious effect of the recoil of the gun, on the other hand, it also shows that Lu Li's exercise is still not enough, although the spring water has improved the physique, but maintaining the physical condition is still a long-term project that accumulates over time.

This is a good warning, in the past, when I was studying, although I occasionally exercised, most of the time I still sat in front of the computer to catch up on the topic, otherwise I was in the library to chew on materials, and the time for exercise was only a handful. Now that I have come to the ranch, the time is there, the site is also there, it is an important plan to increase the amount of exercise and maintain good health.

After getting up early in the morning, Lu Li first had breakfast, and then jogged along the direction of the valley for thirty minutes. Lu Li knew that this was just basic running, and his body had just started moving, but this was the first day, there was no need to rush, and slow accumulation was the king.

There was still a short distance from the main house, and from a distance, Lu Li saw the bustling sheep walking out of the sheepfold and extending along the beech forest, and the white clouds moved slowly under the shade of the emerald green trees, like a natural oil painting.

Grapefruit and Grape were running back and forth to make sure the sheep didn't leave the queue, and to surprise, Teddy was also running fast next to him to join the work.

Cole rode the Dutchman from the back all the way to the front, stopping the sheep from moving on, and causing them to stop in the open space next to them, and the sheep behind continued to pour out, and the white clouds accumulated more and more, layer upon layer, little by little, covering the dark brown earth, and the scene was spectacular.

"Good morning. Lu Li waved his hand and said hello, "So, are there any special events today?" Usually, the sheep are driven directly to the other side of the hill to graze.

"Good morning!" Cole greeted cheerfully, "Today is the day of sheep shearing, and a few of us have discussed it, and while other things are not busy now, we can get the wool shearing a little ten days or so in advance, which is no problem." So, it's today. ”

"Today?" Lu Li couldn't help but be a little excited, showing a surprised expression, "So yesterday was preparing for today?"

Yesterday, the sheep in the pasture were not grazed, but they were also not fed, and they were hungry all day. Lu Li noticed that the sheep were not grazing, but he thought it was a professional problem, so he didn't ask, and he didn't expect that yesterday was preparing for today.

"Yes, fasting for a day before shearing reduces the amount of waste produced by the sheep and keeps the site clean. This minimizes discomfort when shearing the sheep. Cole explained simply, "Well, are you going to come and try it? A thousand sheep, it takes two or three days of work, and we don't mind having an extra pair of hands." ”

"Of course!" Lu Li immediately showed an excited expression, when he heard that he could shear wool before, he was already eager to try, and now that the opportunity has finally come, of course he will not miss it, "I'll go back and change into a set of clothes for work, and I'll join you right away." ”

When Lu Li went downstairs again, he saw Jessica driving the sheep back to the sheepfold, and in a blink of an eye, nearly half of the sheep had returned to the sheepfold, "Didn't you say you want to trim the wool?" Lu Li asked loudly.

"We're sorting the flock. Jessica looked back and explained, "It's not possible to do everything today, we need to divide the flock, lambs, yearlings, ewes, and rams." ”

"Oh. Lu Li felt that all this was too novel, it turned out that wool can be sorted by trimming!

Walking into the flock, Yuzu ran over with a smoke, hit Lu Li's calf with his head, circled around him twice, and after being praised by Lu Li, he returned to work again, the little guy was much more active than Teddy. Brandon can then be seen standing in a makeshift fence, herding some of the sheep into the herd while the rest of the sheep return to the stockpile.

Finally all the flocks have been sorted, and the yearlings in the pen are today's work, most of them were acquired not long ago, so they are also the largest group at present.

Cole and Randy, who had finished sorting in the sheepfold, walked out, and when they saw Lu Li ready, Randy was the first to shout, "Are you going to learn to shear sheep today?"

Inexplicably, Lu Li felt that Randy was not credible, and turned his head to look at Cole and Brandon next to him, the two of them nodded in affirmation, and Cole also said in passing, "Now many ranches are open to the public to learn, and even hold sheep shearing competitions, and many tourists are very happy to participate." ”

As if realizing that he had been neglected, Randy yelled dissatisfied, "Fourteen, I said the same thing, you still have to ask Cole and Brandon for verification, it's not fair!"

"That's because you talk too much nonsense. Brandon silently uttered a sentence that provoked Randy to smoke.

Cole also couldn't help it, "Randy, otherwise you are responsible for teaching fourteen sheep shearing, and we will demonstrate here." After Fourteen gets started, you come over and take our place. "Randy is just a chatter, rambling endlessly, and the teaching job is really suitable.

Without waiting for Randy to show a happy look, Lu Li let out a long sigh, and the depression of thinking about life made Randy choke directly, and the other three people all laughed.

Despite this, Randy's positive enthusiasm was not dampened, and he came to Lu Li's side, "To put it simply, shearing wool is actually undressing sheep. When you get acquainted with it, push it down with wool shears straight down the sheepskin, and that's enough. ”

Lu Li blinked, "This is the end?" usually you talk a lot, but now at the critical moment, just one sentence?"

"Haha. Randy threw his head back and laughed, "As I said, it's not hard to shear sheep. However, there are a few points, the first is to trim the wool, for the sheep, this is also comfortable, as long as the technique is right, not only will they not resist, but they will also enjoy it very much, so don't be too nervous, try to imagine that you are massaging him, or ......" Randy looked left and right, looking for the right contrast, "or petting Teddy. ”

Lu Li rolled his eyes, he wasn't that familiar with Teddy now.

Not far away, Teddy seemed to have an itch in his ears, and began to scream without warning, and without a fixed direction, he yelled in all directions. Everyone didn't know why, but Cole scolded twice, which calmed Teddy down.

Lu Li touched his nose and pretended that nothing had happened just now.

"The second is not to rework, for skilled shepherds, they can control the wool shear freely, the first time is not built in place, the second rework is no problem, but for novices, rework is likely to hurt the sheep, because the sheepskin has a lot of wrinkles that cannot be seen, every rework means that some wool is not shaved clean, if you are not careful, you may anger the sheep, and then directly be arched by the sheep to the ground. ”

Randy explained seriously, but Lu Li raised his eyes, strongly suspecting that Randy's words were in his words, as if hinting that Lu Li would be overturned to the ground?

"So, when you're trimming, straighten the sheepskin and cut it down in one go, and that's fine. Randy concluded, "Alright, you see, Brandon has started. He's in a professional position, and you can start anywhere, but for beginners, it's best to start with your abdomen. ”

As he spoke, Cole gestured and motioned for Randy to look over. "Yes, just like Cole. You can make the most of your legs, control the basic movements of the sheep, and then start with the belly, where the wool is usually the dirtiest and has no sale value. Randy paused, "You see, Cole is demonstrating very clearly now, we have to maintain the correct posture with the sheep's shoulders between the knees......"

Randy explained every detail in a rambling manner, with Cole, Brandon and Jessica's busy live broadcasts, Lu Li learned quickly, and then found the trick, but talking on paper is one thing, and the actual operation is another, this is a technical job, it really needs technology, if the wool is too short, there is no use value, it is too down and easy to hurt the sheep, and the value of the sheared wool after the second rework will also plummet.

Although he couldn't wait, Lu Li didn't start building wool immediately, but let Randy actually operate it for a while, combining his actual actions with the explanation just now, which can be regarded as finding some feelings.

Rolling up his sleeves and putting on his gloves, Lu Li stepped forward, and with the help of Cole, he grabbed the next sheep, a petite and lovely guy who seemed to be more docile, which gave Lu Li more confidence.

According to the instructions, Lu Li gently turned the sheep over, landed on his back, and then put his shoulders in the middle of his knees, and the sheep's belly was completely displayed in front of his eyes, with four legs facing the sky. Without any hesitation, Lu Li turned on the electric wool shear, and the buzzing sound suddenly made the real feeling clear.

Lu Li first grabbed the piece of wool on his abdomen with his hand, the dense wool almost wrapped the whole sheep, it looked like a ball of thread, even the limbs had been submerged, he couldn't figure out how thick the wool was, he could only use his hands to actually feel it.

After roughly understanding the thickness, this time without any hesitation, Lu Li directly put down the scissors, zila, zila, the obvious sound and strange touch made people tremble. Originally, Lu Li was not nervous at all, but when he heard this sound, and then the sheep began to writhe, things suddenly became tricky.

Sure enough, his eight characters and animals seem to be in conflict.
