The sun was shining brightly, dyeing the whole room in a translucent gold, warm enough to melt the air. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lu Li sat up straight and stretched a big lazy waist, if he was used to it, he would definitely want to lie on the bed for a while, but looking at the brilliant sunlight outside the window, the rolling green stretched infinitely in the line of sight, as if he could see the end of the world as long as he stood on tiptoe slightly.

This is a scene that can never be seen in the city, Lu Li couldn't help but get out of bed, pushed open the window, the cold and fresh air rushed to his face, mixed with the moisture of dew drops and the heat of the sun, the refreshing oxygen suddenly purified the entire lungs, and a series of goosebumps appeared on the skin, but it was so wide that people wanted to scream, and they embraced the beautiful morning with an open mind.

After a brief wash, change into a simple set of sportswear and head downstairs. On the kitchen table was a prepared breakfast, a stack of pancakes, two pieces of bacon, and some scrambled eggs, and on the side were all sorts of jams, creams, and syrups, which Cole presumably had prepared for him.

If it was usual, Lu Li probably picked up the pancakes and ran directly to the school, or went to the convenience store on the corner to ask for a cup of coffee, and then stuffed two doughnuts and went to the classroom to solve it. Even on his days off, he lay in bed and slept in, and it had not been a long time since he had gotten up early to breathe in the fresh morning air.

Sitting at the dining table, Lu Li slowly wanted to use his breakfast, but in his mind, wouldn't it be too happy if he got up every morning and made some steamed buns and fritters and other breakfasts, with soy milk or milk—it was hard to get to the top of the world if he wanted to have a Chinese breakfast in the United States, and the breakfast in those Chinese/Chinese restaurants could be called dark cuisine.

When Lu Li first came here, he also went to Chinatown to find a Chinese breakfast, where there were indeed shops that made steamed buns and fritters, but there were only two, and after settling here, their living habits gradually changed to Americans. The first generation of immigrants will still enjoy these traditional Chinese dishes, but the second and third generations of immigrants will not feel anything anymore.

However, now that he lives on his own ranch, he will not only have enough time to tinker with food, but also enough time to learn new things. And that's a good thing.

After breakfast, Lu Li quickly cleaned up the dining table, and then left the house, carefully looking at the entire ranch. Yesterday was just a quick glance, except for the beech forest, there was no serious look at the other places, in fact, Lu Li was a little curious, where was the lavender field, and what the sheepfold looked like, Cole said, there were still some cattle in the pasture...... For Lu Li, everything about the ranch is fresh.

But how should he visit the pasture? Walking is obviously impractical, but does it damage the lawn of the ranch if you drive? etc., is there a specific difference between the pasture and the grassland? where is it good for grazing and where is it good for farming? There are so many things for a layman to learn.

In the distance, a horse ran head-on, and there were three small animals running fast next to it, and when I looked closely, it was Cole, and ...... Teddy with his two younger brothers.

Lu Li can be recognized, Teddy is running in the direction where he is, suppressing the urge to run away in his heart, pretending to stand calmly in place, and then the whole face can't help but wrinkle into a ball, Teddy pounced directly on him, fortunately this time he was prepared, he was not directly knocked down, grabbed Teddy's two front paws with both hands, trying to make Teddy, who was licking his cheeks with his tongue, not so enthusiastic.

"Haha, it looks like Teddy really likes you. Cole's hearty voice came, accompanied by a chaotic barking of dogs, it should be the other two little brothers, which made Lu Li have the illusion of being surrounded by enemies.

Lu Li avoided Teddy's passionate kiss, "Eh, I'm still not used to it, can I let it not ...... So welcoming. ”

"You can order him. Cole said that his pronoun is always "he", not "it", which is different from Lu Li, such small details make Lu Li feel a little, but there is no time to think deeply, because Teddy is really excited.

"Sit down!" Lu Li rushed to the doctor, he didn't know how to order the dog, he could only speak instinctively.

Unexpectedly, Teddy actually sat down and looked at Lu Li expectantly with his tongue out. This worked, but it made Lu Li stunned, "You can continue to give orders." Cole looked at Lan Li, who was at a loss, and kindly offered to help.

"Uh......" Lu Li looked left and right, pointing to the steps not far away, "Go to the porch and rest." ”

Teddy whimpered in a low voice, and then fell to the ground depressedly, as if he was protesting Lu Li's indifference, which made Lu Li's eyes widen and couldn't believe his eyes, which made Cole laugh heartily.

Teddy was silent for a moment, then stood up and shuffled slowly toward the porch. Lu Li looked at Teddy's lonely figure, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and before his reason returned, he shouted, "Teddy, come back." When the words were spoken, he regretted it and wanted to bite off his tongue.

Teddy, however, immediately turned around, opened his mouth wide open, and ran over to him, standing obediently beside his calves, his shaggy tail wagging as if to please Lu Li. This suddenly made Lu Li couldn't help but laugh directly. For the first time, he felt that the big dog seemed, as if, maybe, probably, maybe, not so scary.

"Sit obediently. Lu Li gave another command to Teddy, and then saw Teddy sitting down obediently, and the two small shepherd dogs next to him were still circling around Lu Li, making Lu Li's hair stand up. Teddy seemed to sense Lu Li's rejection and yelled at the younger brothers twice, and then the two sheepdogs also circled behind Teddy and sat down.

Cole stood next to him, smiling all the time, "They are grapefruit and grapes. Teddy now spends most of his time at home while they take care of the flock. Cole gently clamped the horse's belly, and after coming to Lu Li's side, he jumped off the horse, "I released the herd just now, and now I need their help to release the sheep too." Are you going to come with us today?"

"Of course. In the face of Cole's second invitation, Lu Li agreed directly without any hesitation, "I still plan to take a walk around the ranch, but I didn't have a chance yesterday." ”

"Oh yes, I can show you Marshall Valley. It's the main source of irrigation for our area, and there's a huge lake, mostly here at the Ritz, and a small part at Chloe's house next door. Cole pointed to the other side of the hill, where the sheep were supposed to be grazed yesterday, "Beyond the back of this beech grove, there is more space, where Liz had planned to plant the apple grove. Halfway through speaking, Cole paused, still a little lonely in his words, but then he showed a big smile, "Come, I'll show you around!"

Lu Li looked left and right, and then showed an embarrassed smile, "I don't know how to ride a horse." He gestured to the tractor parked in the barn behind him, "Maybe I'll learn this a little faster." ”

"Haha. Kele was amused by Lu Li, "Believe me, riding a horse is easier than you think, and the tractor is more difficult than you think." Cole turned and patted his mount, "This is my companion, the Dutchman, whose name comes from the pirate ship in Pirates of the Caribbean." ”

"Flying Dutchman ......" Lu Li said, and immediately reacted, riding on horseback, as if flying, this is the meaning of Cole.

"Come, I'll take you to the stables to pick a horse, and you can learn first. Cole took the Dutchman by the hand and walked in the direction behind the house.

Lu Li hurriedly followed, Teddy and the two followers also followed, Lu Li looked back, a little unaccustomed, but after all, he didn't make a sound, "Didn't you say yesterday that all the horses in the ranch were sold?"

"Yes. Cole smiled widely, "Liz sold all the horses, and now the horses are more and more pedigree-oriented, and the average person is willing to buy fewer and fewer horses." In Texas, most horses are used for rodeo, and there are not many horses to ride and pull carts, so if you ride a horse out into the streets, beware of being ticketed. ”

Lu Li thought about it carefully, and it was true. In my impression, horses are mainly used for equestrian, polo, horse racing and other sports and entertainment purposes, and there are still horse-drawn carriages in major European cities to satisfy the princes and princesses of tourists, but there are really not many. In addition, some wealthy families who like to ride horses will keep their own horses on horse farms or in their own stables.

"I thought horses were very profitable. Lu Li asked curiously, "Why didn't Liz keep it?"

Cole didn't look impatient because of Lu Li's question, "Hehe, you're talking about horses with noble bloodlines, such as thoroughbreds, one can buy tens of millions of dollars, that's a fact." However, noble pedigree also means that it is expensive to buy and difficult to raise. Lu Li suddenly realized, "In the past, when Jack was still alive, Beech Ranch was the best supplier of competitive horses in the neighborhood, but in recent years, the commercial value of competitive cowboys has also declined, so ......" Cole shrugged his shoulders, and the words behind him even needless to say, Lu Li understood.

Bypassing the main house, you can see a small single-storey wooden house, which occupies a large area, and you can see three rooms within sight, which should be a four-bedroom, two-bathroom building. Cole lives here.

At the back of the single-storey wooden house is a vacant lot with a dilapidated tool trailer and an old-fashioned motorhome, with plenty of room for at least seven or eight more cars, or if you have a friend.

On the opposite side of the parking lot, without any cover, a sheepfold came into view.
