It's easy to say why, because the ranch is so big.

Even after entering the gate, it took Li Yuan a full twenty minutes to see several buildings appear in front of him. Judging from the speed of his car, it is at least a dozen kilometers from the ranch gate to here, no wonder Webb let Li Yuan come in by himself.

Webb was a tall, middle-aged man with a stubbled beard. He is dressed in typical cowboy attire, the only difference from the western is that he does not have a revolver around his waist.

This Australia was very enthusiastic, and immediately strode up to greet him, shaking hands with Li Yuan and smiling: "Welcome to the river valley, Mr. Li." ”

"You're really out of the middle of nowhere." Li Yuan pointed out the shortcomings of the ranch as soon as he opened his mouth, and then added with a smile: "But the scenery is very good, magnificent and majestic, I like it very much!" ”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Weber also laughed and said: "You're right, this is the style of the Australian outback!" ”

While the two were talking, a sturdy woman with brown hair came out of the room, and Lao Yuan asked loudly, "Honey, who are you talking to?" ”

"Oh, that's what I told you about Mr. Li from China." Webber replied, and then said to Li Yuan: "Let me introduce you, her name is Jenny, and she is my wife." ”

"Hello, Mrs. Webb." Li Yuan greeted Jenny with a smile, and then said to Mark Webb: "Mr. Webber, if you don't mind, I would like to talk about buying breeding cattle." ”

Li Yuan's straightforward attitude is quite in line with the straightforward character of these foreigners, and Mark Webb immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I'll take you to the bullpen first." ”

Of course, Li Yuan would not refuse, and then he saw Weber sign two horses, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Riding a horse?" ”

Webber said, of course: "Yes, the land in the pasture should not be run over by vehicles all the time, which will make the soil compact, and the grass will not grow easily, and the dirt road you drive in is the best example." ”

Li Yuan nodded and was taught, secretly remembering this experience in his heart. He also plans to develop animal husbandry in the future, and every bit of experience is very valuable.

However, Li Yuan soon looked embarrassed, and said to Mark: "But...... I've never ridden a horse. ”

"Haha, when you get to the interior of Australia, how can you not ride a horse?" Webb laughed: "Actually, horseback riding is very simple, my three-year-old daughter can do it." All you have to do is get in the saddle, grab the reins and relax, and the horse will carry you forward, don't worry. ”

"Just get in the saddle, grab the reins, and relax." Li Yuan whispered Weber's words and tried to climb onto the horse.

Looking at Li Yuan's clumsy movements, Weber couldn't help laughing, but he still kindly reminded him: "Step on the stirrup first, then grab the saddle bridge, and go up as soon as you force it!" ”

With the teacher's guidance, Li Yuan quickly got into the saddle. Although the movement was still rusty, he finally didn't fall off the horse.

"Learn fast!" Weber praised in a low voice, and planned to take Li Yuan to the bullpen.

But at this moment, a little girl suddenly rushed out of the house and shouted at Weber, "Daddy, I'm going with you too!" ”

"Okay, let's go together!" Webber laughed, bent down and picked up the little girl, and sat her down in front of him.

Then Webber smiled and said to Li Yuan: "She is my daughter Jesse, little Jesse is my angel, and my life is complete with her!" ”

Although Li Yuan didn't have a child yet, he could quite understand Weber's feelings, and nodded with a smile: "She is indeed a very cute little girl." ”

Seeing Li Yuan praising his daughter, Weber also seemed even happier, nodded at him and said, "Let's go!" ”

With that, Webber shook the reins and kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the horse obediently walked forward.

Li Yuan also did the same, and really made the horses move. But after all, it was his first time riding a horse, and he was always a little unaccustomed to it. He was also nervous along the way, especially after the two horses ran, Li Yuan was even more at a loss.

Fortunately, Li Yuan's balance ability and reaction speed are outstanding, even if he rides on a galloping horse for the first time, he can maintain his balance without the slightest feeling of falling off.

Because he knew that this was Li Yuan's first time riding a horse, Weber had deliberately slowed down. But even so, he originally meant that Li Yuan would fall down a few times, and he wouldn't be able to go far before he would ask himself to stop and wait for him.

However, to Weber's surprise, Li Yuan never made such a request, and he also rode steadily on the back of the horse, without falling down once.

So the surprised Webber slowly increased his speed, but Li Yuan still followed closely behind him, not only was he not left behind, but he quickly became familiar with the feeling of riding a horse and mastered the rhythm well.

Li Yuan's transformation surprised Weber even more, if it weren't for seeing Li Yuan's clumsy appearance when he got on the horse, and being sure that this was his first time riding a horse, Weber would really suspect that Li Yuan was deliberately deceiving himself by saying that he had never ridden a horse.

Seeing Li Yuan, whose movements are becoming more and more proficient, and can even occasionally surpass himself, Weber can't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that this Chinese was born to be a cowboy!" ”

The Australian inland pasture is characterized by its size, and the cattle pen is more than 20 kilometers away from Webb's residence. The two of them ran for more than half an hour before they saw the bullpen in front of them.

However, this half an hour was not in vain, Li Yuan has changed from a newcomer who has never ridden a horse to a veteran. Although he can't control the horse as easily as Weber, he can handle the scene of the horse running fast without worrying about falling off.

Seeing Li Yuan jumping off the horse easily, Weber couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Li, you learn so fast, you will definitely be a qualified cowboy in the future." ”

Li Yuan smiled noncommittally, and just asked to go and see the breeding cattle as soon as possible.

Weber did not object, and took Li Yuan into the cattle pen in the fence, where all the breeding cattle in the river valley pastures were located.

The barn is a large area, with at least two hundred cows in it, each of which is split and closed. But most of them are cows, many of them have calves, and there are only six or seven bulls.

Weber took Li Yuan to inspect the cowshed and proudly told him: "This is my breeding cowshed, don't look at the number of cattle, but they are the best breeders." In particular, those bulls are the treasures of the pasture. Thanks to their hard work, my ranch sells thousands of calves every year. ”

Li Yuan looked at the breeding cattle in front of him with envy, and asked a key question: "I don't know how many breeding cattle you can sell me Mr. Weber?" (To be continued.) )
