Chapter XXVII

"Xiao Chen, are you still in Yalta?"

"Well, what's the matter, big brother?"

"Oh, that's right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I have some business to do, so I have to go back early. Ye Cong paused for a moment and said, "I want to ask if you want to go back with us, or do you want to go after watching the game?" ”

"Are you all leaving today?"

"Yes, Alina isn't going to watch the next game either, so let's go together."

"I've got some things to do, so let's go first." Ye Chen thought for a while and replied, "You don't have to keep the tickets for me, I'll go back in a few days." ”

"If you're still watching the game, I'll leave my ticket at the hotel." Ye Cong proposed.

"No, it's not fun for me to watch the game by myself. Besides, I'll need to go back to see Parker sooner. Ye Chen finally rejected the eldest brother's idea.

"Alright then, we'll see you in England. Good bye. ”

"Goodbye, say hello to everyone on my behalf."

"Ye, has something happened to your friend?" Hearing Ye Chen say that he wouldn't go to the ball game, Elise asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's my eldest brother and they're going back to the UK, so I'm not going back to Kyiv either, and I'll go back to the UK directly after playing here for a few days."

When Alina heard this, she said, "It's just a good time to visit Yalta these days." ”

At noon in Mr. Ivan's villa, Ye Chen tasted a feast cooked by Mrs. Parama herself.

The main meal is steak and muscles grilled by Mrs. Parama, and even more special is the chili sauce made with their own ingredients, which is spicy with a hint of sweetness, perfectly penetrating the tender meat.

"Thank you very much, Mary." Ye Chen enjoyed this meal very much. "Perfect workmanship."

"Hope it matches your taste." Mary is also more confident in her cooking skills.

In addition to the main meal of barbecue, there were also some fresh soups made of vegetables and mutton on the table, and a top-notch and nutritious lunch made Ye Chen unable to stop his appetite.

Mr. Ivan is also in charge of the ranch tourism project, so he did not eat with Ye Chen and them in the pastoral area at noon, but has been working in the front. In the whole ranch, except for Mary, who does not have to work, all the workers have been busy with their own work since the morning, especially Ivan, the rancher, who needs to control the main affairs of the pastoral and tourist areas, so there is basically no time to rest.

"I thought that ranchers could do nothing and just wait to sell their cattle and sheep." Ye Chen said to Elise.

"It's so easy," Elise explained, "and every time I've been here on vacation, I've never seen Uncle Ivan rest for a long time. ”

"For small and medium-sized farms, there are always things that are different in the process from breeding, grazing, slaughtering, and selling. Moreover, relying on the income of cattle and sheep alone is not enough to reap sufficient profits, so tourism projects are also one of the important sources of ranch funds. ”

"It seems that any career is not easy to do," Ye Chen also sighed very emotionally, his personality is relatively lazy, so he stayed in Liverpool TV after graduation. Now seeing the hard work of a rancher like Ivan, Ye Chen also began to think about how he could do his job better.

Ye Chen has always admired the experience and achievements of his eldest brother Ye Cong, who worked alone in Liverpool and eventually became a well-known barrister, which is far from being comparable to the current Ye Chen in terms of income.

Maybe I should plan better for the future, Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart.

Although the summer in the Yalta region is not very hot because of latitude and altitude, the sun and temperature at noon are still not suitable for going out, so after lunch, Ye Chen went back to the room to rest first, and made an appointment with Elise to go out after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Located at the foot of Mount Ayipter, the Barama Ranch clings to the mountains behind it, and from a distance, you can see the tall vertical granite massifs of the mountains. Barama Ranch is one of the few areas where the terrain is gentle and suitable for grazing, but it is not such a meadow near the peak, and the cliffs are everywhere, making it a popular place for rock climbers.

In the afternoon, the sun goes down to the west, and the temperature outside returns to a more comfortable level. After taking a nap, Ye Chen is also full of energy now.

After going out, Ye Chen saw Elise walking over with two brown horses.

"Hi, Ye." Elise let go of one of the horses and handed the reins of the other horse to Ye Chen, "Come on, try riding a horse, and we'll ride them up the mountain in a while." ”

Ye Chen, who had never ridden a horse before, looked at the tall horse in front of him and seemed to be very docile.

"His name is Pique, and he's a very experienced horse." Elise introduced the horse to Ye Chen and guided Ye Chen to board the horse.

"Slowly stepping on the stirrups to get on its back, Peake is a very docile old gentleman, the most trustworthy companion of the ranch."

Ye Chen grabbed the reins with one hand, held Pique's body with the other, and put his left foot into the stirrups.

"Don't put the soles of your feet all in the stirrups, just put half of them to prevent you from falling down and not being able to get out." Elise instructed Ye Chen on the side.

Peake stood steadily, motionless, his head bowed and chewing on the grass on the ground.

After stepping on the stirrup, Ye Chen got up hard, straddled Pique's back, and then quickly grabbed Piqué firmly.

"Ye, the most important thing in riding a horse is to communicate with it and let it understand what you mean," At this time, Elise was already sitting on another batch of horses, and drove the horses that sat down to Ye Chen's side.

"Clamp Pique's stomach between your legs, pull the reins, and give Pique instructions to get it going."

Ye Chen steadied his body, grabbed the reins, and gently tapped Pique's stomach with his legs.

"Let's go, move Pique."

He is worthy of being the most experienced horse in the ranch, and even a beginner like Ye Chen, Pique can understand what he means. It lifted its hooves and walked slowly forward.

"Yes, that's good. Familiarize yourself with Pique's pace, don't rush it to speed, get your balance right. Elise followed Ye Chen firmly, keeping an eye on his state.

Ye Chen and the others walked towards the mountain, and at the same time they were familiar with Pique's pace. Pique, who didn't take a step and ran, was very stable at this time, without the slightest feeling of bumps, but Ye Chen didn't dare to be careless, after all, it hadn't accelerated yet.

"Now you can try to get Pique to increase the speed, you can use your legs to hit harder or faster." Elise asked Ye Chen to try to speed up. "A running horse has a bumpy bullying effect, you have to match Pique's body movements, integrate your weight into the center of gravity of the horse, use the reins to control the direction, and master the strength."

Ye Chen raised the reins, kicked Peake with his right leg, and motioned for him to trot. Sure enough, after receiving the instructions, Peake began to increase the frequency of his pace, trotting all the way to Ayi Peter Mountain.

As Pique's speed accelerated, Ye Chen on horseback also felt more and more bumpy, and after a period of time, he gradually became familiar with the frequency of Pique's ups and downs, and Ye Chen also began to get used to this speed.

For the sake of safety, Elise did not let Ye Chen and Pique accelerate again, but maintained the current speed and slowly walked up. Elise is a very experienced jockey, not only can ride the horse very steadily, but also can pay attention to Ye Chen's condition from time to time and correct Ye Chen's wrong movements.
