Chapter 31: Trivia of Life

"Morning, Lisa; Good morning, Dinah "As soon as the sky was bright, Ji Xin, who was used to getting up early, had already come to the stable. But there was one more person besides Dinah, who was out of her normal work today.

"Ji, you should choose a horse that belongs to you, I just know that this mare doesn't even have a name until now, and it doesn't fit your identity" Dinah waved her hand without raising her head to say hello, and then continued to say something embarrassing to the boss, "This is only suitable for tourists who come to play, docile but not temperamental at all"

"Like you Angel and Dinah's Tina?" Ji Xin touched his chin, he was very interested in this, and his identity and the horse he rode could also be related?

"I know this, boss" Dinah, who couldn't hold back her words, rushed to reply while brushing the horses, "In our place, equestrian competitions can be said to be commonplace, not to mention the regular round-robin races, there are nearly 1,000 continental races in a year, the most famous is naturally the Kentucky Big Race, the Billy is the stakes and the Belmont Stakes, this is the 3-year-old American horse Triple Crown Race." Of course, in recent years, the Breeders' Cup, held at the end of the year, has challenged the Treble at the beginning of the year and has been the decider of the three-year-old race."

"Dinah is just talking about pure **, that's a rich man's game, usually a horse that has won a small race championship will be worth tens of millions, not ordinary people can afford to play. I'm actually talking about the various competitions held in the town, circle-riding, dressage and spirituality will be a daily topic of conversation. ”

"That's right, boss, many of us say that we would rather not watch the presidential race than miss a really good game" Dinah was a little serious, "Mr. George used to have a black pure ** won the first place in Dabi, and the whole town also had a big celebration banquet for this." ”

"Hearing you say that, it seems like I'm missing out on a lot. But it's still too late for "Ji Xin, whose ears have always been softer, will be even more unbearable" Lisa, let's go and choose a horse today, is it entertaining?" ”

Lisa didn't have a problem, she liked the horses anyway, and it didn't take much effort. Hit it off, hurriedly settled the breakfast, and the two went straight to the nearby horse market, anyway, there are not many of them, but there is no need to make an appointment in advance or contact the horse economy.

Although the speed is not slow, after arriving at the racecourse, there are already many people practicing inside. "This is what many residents of the city have deposited here, and the horses are of high and low standard, and the place we are going to is still inside."

"Well, these horses are so beautiful" Ji Xin has some understanding of why Lao Mei is so obsessed with this sport, as long as he looks at the coach's upright posture just now, and the tacit cooperation with the horses, he is simply a lively Prince Charming, "This is much better than my ranch"

"Different breeds, different uses, can't be compared together" Lisa understated a handful of someone's ignorance, "The first requirement for a horse ridden by a farm cowboy is endurance and explosiveness, so it is relatively short; Most of the ones I just saw were ornamental horses, and it was fitting to participate in dressage, all from Europe."

"Okay, don't be envious, we're here" Stopping in front of a standard stable, a person in charge came over enthusiastically in a few minutes. On the side, Lisa was talking to others about the advantages and disadvantages of horses, what is too old, what is not good, anyway, it is similar to the domestic price reduction.

Looking at the boss's cheeks being dismissed, his cheeks were slightly red, and his arms waved and argued. Ji Xin felt for a moment that if this woman begged to go home and be his wife, she would definitely be very capable of running a family, and her combat effectiveness would be comparable to that of the aunts who bought vegetables in the vegetable market. In fact, from this person's point of view, these are all treasures, all of them are very spiritual, tall and beautiful.

"Hey, Ji" Lisa gave Ji Xin a look, then shook off the boss, and took the initiative to approach the horse he was optimistic about and checked, "No. 1, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 13 are all good, since you are not short of money, I will take it upon myself to exclude those miscellaneous **, after all, their personalities are not stable enough, and ** is too laborious, these horses are old, physical strength and reaction are good, you can choose one"

Ji Xin looked at the boss's painful touch, and knew that these should be the treasures of the town store, so he hesitated, and screened it at the moment, "I don't like pure white, it will be regarded as Tang Seng; The black one is too low-key, and if you don't return to your hometown, it's like a brocade dress walking at night" The man muttered in his mouth, but he couldn't make a decision no matter what.

"Follow your heart, Xin" Lisa interjected prompt "It's your horse, just like your buddy"

"Huh?" Ji Xin was excited, and the color of confusion was gone, so let's be No. 6 "Although it doesn't look as tall as the others, I like its spirituality very much, maybe he has a fate with me" Determined, this person took the initiative to step forward, stretched out the carrot in his hand, and began to show favor to the horse according to the knowledge he had just learned.

"God, this is your Jack, no one can snatch it away" Lisa saw that the chosen horse seemed to know her future master, and she ate the food in a few bites and then took her head against Ji Xin, a little envious.

"Of course, his name is Jack, my English name is Bruce, they are both famous Chinese stars in Hollywood, and our brothers will shine on their respective stages in the future" Ji Xin was also very happy, touching Jack's soft mane and explaining his naming principles.

A good horse with a good saddle, this person chose a favorite partner, and with a big wave of his hand, he picked a whole set of outfits, light blue saddle, completely retro style front and rear saddle bridges, handmade, and the store is also responsible for depicting the logo of the Great Smoky Mountain Ranch, so that Ji Xin feels that it is worth the money.

In the end, including knight's clothing, mosquito clothing, and brand new stable equipment, Ji Xin wrote a check for 70,000 US dollars, no wonder equestrian is an aristocratic sport, this is still in the case of a lot of reduction in the price of old American horses, and it may not be possible to start if you want to double it in China.

The owner of the racecourse is not bad, and when he promised to deliver the goods to the door in the afternoon, he considered that Ji Xin would pay happily, and it was likely that he would be a big customer in the future, so he took the initiative to send two puppies. According to reports, this is a German black-backed cub, a real large dog, and it is good to be raised to duel with wolves.

Ji Xin knew that it was boring, and just now he saw that this big dog seemed to be used to guard the warehouse. Even if there is some blood, it is estimated that it has to be counted from the ancestor's side, but if you don't take the things you give away for nothing, you will be struck by lightning, and this person will take the box containing the cubs very easily.

When I got home with Lisa, I was just in time for Chef Dinah's food to come out. I have to say that the charm of my Chinese food is amazing, and Lisa, who is used to eating American Chinese food, complains that he and his friends should not be used to going to those Chinese restaurants in the future.

Ji Xin casually talked about the last time he ordered Chinese food in New York, which caused everyone to laugh. "I've heard of this joke," Wynn said happily after taking a sip of beer, "mainly because many foreigners want to try authentic Chinese food, and they will use this method." But often after the restaurant has made it, they give a bad review. Over time, many restaurants are simply reluctant to hire chefs who can cook. They want a high salary, and it's not to taste, sweet and sour is king. ”

"If you want to eat Chinese food, remember to tell the waiter that you are Chinese, and it is better to show a few more words of Chinese, hello, it is no problem to eat this," Thomas added. "Life is full of learning."

After eating, soon the horse farm phone came, and when Ji Xin went back to the house to change into boots and light jeans, he came out to take a look, and sure enough, a truck had stopped at the door, Thomas and Lisa were handing over, and after the two confirmed that the horses were correct, the delivery man handed over a form, the money had been paid in the morning, and now he just needed to sign it.

"Xin, this horse of yours is very good, suitable for running in the open area" Thomas had a little itchy hands, and took the initiative to come forward to taste it, the horse's hooves, mane, and muscles were looked through, making Jack almost stumble, "It's a little younger, only a little more than 2 years old"

"It's all Lisa's vision," Ji Xin disagreed, "I don't plan to send it to the arena for the time being, it can grow up with me, as for the future, who knows?" ”

"Then let's try it first" Thomas shrugged, obviously a little skeptical of the confidence expected by his boss, "Ji, a good rider must not only control the horse, but also trust the horse, and finally reach the realm of unity between man and horse, but there are not many people in the United States who can find this level." ”

As he spoke, the man pulled out his black whirlwind and sat down steadily, while the horse under his crotch did not move, apparently having been trained for a long time. "Driving" shouted in his mouth, the whirlwind was really like a black whirlwind at this time, galloping out, Ji Xin watched from afar Thomas doing all kinds of actions on horseback, heroic and uninhibited, the quality of the old cowboy is really not covered.

Just as Ji Xin's eyes were hot, Lisa was not to be outdone, turned over and rode Angel, and performed. Unlike Thomas's western riding, this man's movements are more pleasing to the eye and more gentlemanly. The horses at small paces were obviously very obedient to their master's orders, and in their every move was not weaker than a man.

Touching Jack, who was a little irritable beside him, Ji Xin comforted, "Man, do you see, this is an example, when can you have such a tacit understanding with me, I can also grow a face in front of those friends."
