Looking left and right, this condescending perspective made Lu Li's mood couldn't help but get excited, he raised his feet and gently kicked the chestnut's stomach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sure enough, Chestnut took a step forward, but there was something wrong with the direction of his progress - he was heading in the direction of the cowshed, and Cole quickly caught up, "It's like driving a car, the reins are your steering wheel, don't push too hard, Chestnut will recognize the direction." ”

According to the instructions, Lu Li gently tugged on the reins and signaled to turn left, but found that the chestnut did not respond and was still going straight, "Use more force, adjust the reins according to your own arm length." Cole's instructions followed, and Lu Li hurriedly wrapped the reins around again, and then pulled back, this time, the chestnut stopped directly.

This...... Is it just shifting gears and turning off the ignition?

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh at himself, and he comforted Kele, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll figure it out myself." Then, Lu Li first pulled the reins, and sure enough, the chestnut took a few steps to the left, and Lu Li clamped his legs again, and the chestnut went on the road smoothly again, straight forward.

"Fourteen, if it weren't for the embarrassment you were in when you got on the horse just now, I suspect you must have learned to ride a horse before. Cole strode beside the chestnut.

Lu Li couldn't help but raise his chin and look into the distance, the scenery sitting on horseback was naturally not as good as the angle on the second floor, but the flavor was completely different, he somewhat understood why some people were so keen on horseback riding. It's not just about speed, it's about perspective, just as humans always dream of flying.

"Haha, if you record the video of my stupid mistake just now, I guess it can make a lot of people laugh on YouTube. Lu Li had a big heart, and laughed at himself.

Lu Li rode chestnuts to the door of the main house, and then he saw the Dutch who was leisurely sooner or later, and he remembered at this time that Cole was left behind. He was a little carried away just now because the scenery was so good, and of course, part of it was because he was engrossed, after all, it was the first time he had ridden a horse, so he was always highly nervous, and only now did he relax a little.

After thinking about it, although it was troublesome, Lu Li still began to try to turn the horse's head, just as driving must learn to reverse and park, and sooner or later to learn to ride a horse must also learn to turn around. After going around the same place three times, Lu Li finally grasped the opportunity and guided the chestnut back again, and then saw Cole who drove the sheep out.

A large white cloud came out of the sheepfold, grapefruit and grapes were crowing, and Teddy lay lazily beside him to supervise. The sheep seemed to know the direction and walked towards the set goal in a scattered manner, and occasionally a few sheep would fall behind, and the grapefruit or grapes would run up, bark at them, and drive them back into the group, the whole process was in an orderly manner, completely different from what was expected.

"You leave the work to grapefruit and grapes. Cole stood at the door of the sheepfold and shouted, "We just need to follow behind." ”

Watching the white clouds flowing under his feet, the feeling was very subtle, and for a moment there was an illusion of walking in mid-air, and after waiting for a while, the sheep all came out, "How many sheep are there here?"

"Six hundred and forty-three, two died in the winter, and three were taken away by wolves. Kele said lightly, but Lu Li's eyes widened, and Kele immediately understood the meaning of this expression, "This is a pasture, isn't it normal to have wolves?" However, we don't have many wild wolves here, we hunt around regularly, and after many years of urbanization, there are not many wild wolves left in the mountains and forests. ”

"And there are black bears here, too?"

"Yes, but it's almost invisible, and in the mountains, sometimes you can't find it even if you look for it. Cole replied, "After all, it's the twenty-first century, not the seventeenth century." ”

"Wow, I always thought that the only way to find animals like wolves and bears now was to go to Alaska, but I didn't expect to find them here. Lu Li felt a little excited, and a little curious, of course, he also knew that these were dangerous animals, if he really encountered them, he estimated that he would not be able to support a single move, and he would be killed in seconds.

"We're not that far from Arizona, and it's a short drive to Grand Canyon National Park. Cole's explanation made Lu Li understand. The so-called national park also means that there is the protection of the government/government, even if tourists are allowed to enter, but on the whole, the natural ecological chain is still relatively complete.

As he spoke, Cole and Lu Li returned to the front of the house, Cole landed on the Dutchman, and the two of them fell behind the sheep, Shi Shiran walked forward, "You must want to run now, right?" Looking at Lu Li, who was about to move, Cole said jokingly.

"Did you see it?" Lu Li was indeed a little eager to try at this time, after all, after trying to walk slowly, it didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined, and Lu Li couldn't help but want to feel the pleasure of galloping.

"Trust me, it's better not to. Cole laughs and says, "Before you have enough balance and rhythm to ride a horse, if you let the chestnuts gallop, it's a disaster, and you may not be able to get up for three days in bed/in bed." "You see, when the horse's speed increases, his ups and downs are rhythmic, and if you're not familiar with it, he goes up and you go down, and this collision will almost make you fall apart." ”

Lu Li believes in the experts' opinions, but inevitably there are still some regrets. Riding a chestnut for a slow walk, it looks like a child's game.

"If you want to try it, you can try to speed up the chestnuts a little bit, the difference between fast and slow walking is not very obvious, you can feel it first. "Cole naturally knows a lot about it, it's like when a novice just learns to drive, they can't wait to try to be in the driver's seat every day, even if they go to the corner convenience store, they will drive out, this kind of freshness and control, this kind of freshness and control, is really intoxicating.

Lu Li was encouraged, and kicked with both feet, and sure enough, the chestnut began to accelerate, and at the same time, the saddle began to jolt slightly, "Oh, this is much more exciting than an off-road vehicle." Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, but before the words were finished, his ass fell on the saddle again, and the sourness was really difficult to describe in words.

After accelerating slightly, the wind became intense, flowing back along the hair, and even trivial sounds could be heard in the ears, and the world in front of him suddenly became extremely open, as if the whole world could be seen at a glance, this feeling was so beautiful that the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"You see, over there is Chloe's oak grove, where our two ranches meet, and where Marshall Creek joins us from their side. Before Cole's introduction, the view of the beech ranch finally sketched the whole picture in Lu Li's mind.

The main house and other sheds are located on the southwest side of the ranch, and to the south is the Marshall Valley Ranch, which is not far away, less than a kilometer, and is an endless grassland where the sheep are usually grazing. Cattle grazing is also done here, but a little further east and closer to the Marshall Valley.

The crystal clear Marshall Valley, whose source is still on the mountain range further south, flows all the way through the Marshall Valley Ranch into the Beech Ranch, between the two pastures there is a lake about 300 meters in diameter, the emerald green lake is quiet and peaceful, and on this side of the Beech Ranch there is a pier where a wooden boat is docked. According to Cole, fishing here should be rewarding.

The valley stretches all the way to the northeast, like a crystal clear river, and the sun shines on the riverside, sparkling with a piece of light, which is completely a ribbon tied to this green grassland, which is beautiful.

Along the valley, you can see that on the other side of the river there is a bare brown field, which is the lavender field, but the lavender is not harvested until the middle of summer in July, and now it has not turned purple at all, it looks like a pair of weeds, and there is no beauty at all.

"The large area next to it is one of the best in the area. Cole and Lu Li stopped next to the valley, and Cole pointed to the large gently undulating land in the distance, "When Jack was in the past, grapes were grown there. Unfortunately, a year before Jack's death, he was hit by an insect infestation that destroyed almost 80% of his yield, even the mother tree that was the seed. Later, Jack had been thinking about going to Burgundy in France to transplant the best Pinot Noir, but unfortunately he didn't have time to do so. Cole let out a long breath and summed it up simply, "Later, Liz was ready to replant apples. ”

Lu Li heard another important point, "Pinot Noir? So, the grapes here are used to make wine?"

As we all know, the world's top wine producing areas are relatively concentrated, not only because the cultivation of grapes is very troublesome, but also because the varieties of wine produced need to be taken care of. But once a top-quality wine is made, the value is extraordinary, and the beech ranch goes from prosperity to decline, and the whole trajectory slowly unfolds in Lu Li's mind.

The United States is the epitome of New World wines, but 95 percent of all U.S. wines are produced in California, especially Napa Valley, which is also known as an important wine region in the world. But other than that, I haven't heard of the name of wine from other producing areas, and Lu Li doesn't know that Texas actually produces wine.

"Of course, wine is also one of our pride, and it has appeared at presidential banquets many times, which is one of our pride. Cole said confidently.

Lu Li knows the pride of Texans, so Cole's words are bound to be discounted, but Texans don't lie. This means that Texas wine has really appeared at the presidential banquet.

This is positive news!
