After running around with the two little ones with Wynne, Ju An took Tongtong and continued to put it in front of his horse, while Wynne continued to take care of the herd.

Take the family around and go to see the sheep.

The brother-in-law saw that Ju An was uncomfortable sitting on the horse, and wanted to take Tongtong over several times, but Tongtong just didn't want to, so Ju An's group had to walk slowly.

Wait until you get to the flock. Juan put the two little ones down, and Nancy was adding salt to the salt trough of the flock. Seeing a group of people coming over, he came over and said hello to everyone.

The tiger head ran over at this time, wagging his tail around Ju An, the tiger head was very tall, basically almost to Tongtong's chin, Tongtong and Ran Ran immediately hid behind Ju An, Ran Ran hid his face behind Ju An, and Tongtong showed a small head to look at the tiger head.

Pulled the two little guys out from behind, took two little hands, touched the head of the tiger, and told them: "This is the head of the tiger, don't bite Tongtong and Ranran, you touch it."

After touching it twice, the two little guys had no fear, even Ran Ran put his hands on and touched the neck of the tiger head, the tiger head obviously enjoyed this, closed his eyes, and wagged his tail more happily.

The brother-in-law touched a sheep and said to his father: "Third child, these cows and sheep are happy enough."

Dad said worriedly: "After looking around here, it is indeed much better than the rural areas in China, every family is such a big place, and it is so far on the way to come, and I see more than a dozen families, I don't know what to do if bad people come."

My sister smiled and said, "Every house has a gun, aren't bad guys afraid to walk in?" I've said it, you've said it, every family is like this, so who is stealing?"

"Got a gun? The third child, do you have, if you have, let your brother-in-law shoot twice, when I was a child, I didn't have a gun, and I also used my grandfather's gun to shoot wild ducks," the brother-in-law said excitedly.

Ju An replied: "I have a gun, how many are there, but you used it when you were a child, let's take you to the shooting range to practice in a few days."

The brother-in-law smiled and nodded: "That's okay, that's okay, I haven't touched a gun for more than ten years, and I'll have a good time in a few days."

My mother and sister were obviously not interested in the sheep in front of them, and were pointing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

After chatting for a few minutes, he decided to go back, but at this time, Tongtong refused to let go, shouting that he had to go back with the tiger head. The brother-in-law explained to Tongtong: "The tiger head wants to see the sheep, if it weren't for the big bad wolf who would eat all the sheep in my uncle's house, and if the sheep are eaten up, my uncle will have no money to buy new clothes for Tongtong."

Only then did Tongtong let go, and when he left, he said to the tiger head: "Tiger head, don't be lazy, don't let the wolf eat all the uncle's sheep." Another person is patient.

When I returned to the small building, my sister asked my brother-in-law to coax the two little ones to take a nap first. Take a break with yourself.

Then, Ju An and his parents and sister prepared the barbecue for the evening, lamb chops, beef to be cut, vegetables to be washed, and asked his mother and sister to cut the beef into palm-sized pieces.

Ju'an just happened to be happy, stepped on the bean grass, and let the horse gallop off the reins.

It is estimated that in the past few days, the bean grass and snowflakes have not been happy, and the two horses did not stop until they were sweating profusely, Ju'an sat on the horse, closed his eyes, breathed in the pure air in a big gulp, and faced the mountain wind, and his heart was clear.

Then, after a little more trotting, resting, then running, playing for an hour, Ju'an turned back.

By the time they got home, Mom had prepared all the meat and vegetables, and the two little ones had woken up and were sitting under the porch, playing with the computer.

Juan took his brother-in-law out of the big oven in the house, and took out from the warehouse the charcoal that Thomas Sr. had burned, all of which he had picked up from the woods at the foot of the mountain pasture.

As soon as he prepared these, he saw two pickup trucks coming in the distance, and Ju An knew that it was Taylor and Anderson's family who came.

After a while, the car was in front of him, Taylor jumped out of the car, gave Juan a big hug, and then the family got out of the car one after another.

Taylor and his wife Vera, with their two grandchildren and his brother-in-law Thornton and Thornton's wife Vivien, and of course Anderson, Anderson came alone. Later, Ju An learned that Anderson was divorced, and his son, daughter-in-law and grandson all worked in New York and rarely returned.

Everyone hugged each other, and Ju An also introduced his parents, sister and brother-in-law to everyone.

As soon as the greetings passed, the man sat down on a chair in the courtyard and chatted, while Vera and Vivien helped Ju'an's mother and sister put the cut lamb chops and beef on the grill.

As for the little ones, they got together and looked like they were having a good time, Ju An was a little puzzled, the little ones didn't understand the language, and they seemed to be very familiar.

After a while, the smell of meat wafted all around, and at this time, Thomas, Wynne, Nancy, and Andrew also returned, and everyone took a plate and ate freely.

I made a piece of beef, and I wanted to go down in one bite, well, the tender beef, full of juice, and the fine taste also had a faint pine fragrance, which was delicious.

Taylor next to him was also holding a plate in his hand, and was taking a small lamb chop and chewing it: "The lamb chops are really good."

Ju An said: "By the way, Taylor, I have a friend who has a travel company, and when I go back this time, I want to make a ranch tourism route, what do you think?" ”。

Taylor replied: "Very good, but in the past, Chinese tourists went to San Francisco, New York and other cities toured, in recent years, California ranches have heard that there are also some Chinese tourists, but Montana ranches have never heard of them, which has been to Chinese guests, but maybe those big hotel ranches have come."

Ju An said, "Didn't you say that your ranch was done?" ”。

"Well, it's been a while, but now a lot of ranches are working, the competition is too fierce, we only have some guests in July and August every year, and my ranch is also very small, I can only receive five or six tourists at a time, and if there are more, it will affect the operation of the ranch, and the ranch in Thornton can also receive seven or eight guests, and the three of us can receive a total of twenty guests, not a few more" Taylor replied.

"So, how is the price calculated?" asked Ju An.

Taylor replied: "It's about $400 per person a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus riding lessons, horseback riding through the mountains, picnics and whatever, the price for ten days is a total of $4,000, of course the cost of shopping is not included, and you also know that horseback riding is dangerous, riding has an accident, and the ranch is not responsible."

Ju An nodded: "That's it, I'll ask my friend to come over in two days and talk to you to see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

Thornton asked, "Ann, your ranch is so big, why don't you receive tourists?"

Ju An shook his head and said: "I like to be quiet, I don't like to be noisy, it's no problem to receive some friends, you let me receive tourists every day, I can't stand it."

Anderson said with a smile: "During the time I have known Ann, I have said like a rich man in this sentence."

The rest of the people listened and chuckled knowingly.

Ju An looked at these and said, "Which of your ranches is not worth a million dollars, they are all rich." Then there was another chuckle.

Then everyone talked about the current predicament of ranch management, Anderson said: "This year, the price of forage has risen again, but the price of beef and mutton has risen by a few cents, and it is becoming more and more difficult to operate."

Thornton also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the grass has risen by a third compared to last year, this damn Wall Street is simply a moth."

Ju An wondered how it was brought to Wall Street: "What does selling beef have to do with Wall Street?" ”。

Taylor explained: "Ann, you haven't run a ranch before, cattle and sheep are sold in the autumn and winter, Wall Street will make bullshit indicators according to the market, set the price of beef and mutton, and you can't get the money when you sell it, you have to wait for a month to get the money."

Damn, these guys are doing finance everywhere, no wonder they occupied Wall Street some time ago, should!.

Taylor continued: "Actually, during this time, I discussed with Thornton and Anderson whether to provide mutton directly to restaurants, eliminating intermediate links and expanding profits, and you know, our sheep are free-range, which is much better than those fattening mutton."

Juan nodded in agreement with Taylor. The beef and mutton eaten by Ju'an now are basically produced in nearby pastures, and they are generally free-range, and the meat quality and captive are not of the same grade at all.

You can tell it by taking a bite, so during this class reunion, Ju An was really not interested in eating a bite of meat, and he hadn't eaten the roast leg of lamb yet, just smelling the smell poured Ju An's appetite.

After chatting for a while, I ate two lamb chops and drank two beers, and my stomach was full. Looking around, everyone had almost eaten.

At this time, Ju An noticed that the four little guys gathered around a small round table, each with a napkin around their chests, were eating happily.

Tongtong is holding a fork in his hand, forking a small piece of beef, stuffing it into his mouth, eating his face full of oil, Ran Ran and the other two little guys are no better, little Jerry and Emily are gnawing on corn cobs, their faces are still sticking to corn kernels, and the plate is a half-bitten lamb chop.

Looking at a few little guys, they really had an appetite for eating, and Ju An went to get a piece of veal for himself again. While eating, I listened to a few old guys talk about the ranch.

When it was getting dark, Taylor and the others took their leave and went home. Before leaving, Tongtong also asked Jerry and Emily to come back tomorrow, Ju An translated the words to Jerry and Emily, and Jerry patted his chest and promised to bring his sister back tomorrow.
