Chapter 118: Trivia of the Mountain Village (1)
In the kitchen room of Koizumi Villa, Rona and Elena were busy talking and laughing at this time.
At this time, there was a "ding dong" sound in the direction of the oven -
"Elena, can you help me see if the cookies in the oven are baked?" Rhona couldn't keep up with the work in her hands, so she turned her head sideways and commanded Elena.
"yes, got it." Elena put her work on the table, took out a pair of thick cotton gloves from the drawer, put them on and walked to the oven.
As soon as the oven door opened, a rich, creamy smell immediately filled the air.
"As soon as I smell it, my saliva is going to leak out." Elena said as she pulled the baking tray out of the oven.
The cookies on the baking tray are golden in color and fragrant.
Elena couldn't help but pick up a piece and bring it to her mouth to take a bite. "Whewβit's hot, it's hot!" As soon as the hot biscuit was in her mouth, Elena puffed out her cheeks and snorted.
Rhona gave Elena a funny look, "The freshly baked cookies are the hottest, who made you can't help it!" β
Elena swallowed the biscuit in her mouth, squeezed her eyes at Rhona and smiled, "Honey, how can I be sure if this biscuit can be served without my mouth personally evaluating it?" β
Rhona gave Elena a silent look, she put down what she was doing, washed her hands in front of the sink, picked up a clip and walked to Elena's side, and helped them plate the freshly baked biscuits.
At this time, there was a faint sound of a car engine outside the window-
Rhona walked over to the window and looked out of the kitchen window, and she saw a couple of cowboys in the cottage heading towards Joey's car.
"It was Joey who brought Miss Pell and them back." Rona untied the bib from her chest and instructed Elena, "Elena." I'll go out and see if there's anything I need help with, and you'll bring out the coffee and cookies in a moment. β
Elena nodded.
Lorna put down her bib and walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.
Out of the main house, Rhona saw Joey's car parked in front of the garage. The boss and her two assistants had already gotten out of the car, and were instructing a few cowboys to take out the bags of grocery from the trunk.
Joey's cousin, Danny, has a lot of strength. I saw him carrying two large bulging bags in each hand and walking in the direction of the main house.
"Danny, tell the cowboys to carry these to the kitchen, and I'll help Elena clean it up in a moment." Rhona gave a command to Danny, who was passing by, and walked briskly in the direction of the crowd.
"Miss Pell, welcome back to Koizumi Villaβ" Rona greeted her with open arms with a smile on her face.
"Hi. Rhona, you look so good! Pei Pei smiled and kissed each other on the cheek after giving an American hug to Lorna.
After Lorna hugged the boss, she hugged Fu Ya and Reese respectively. Then, with a smile, she took the boss's hand and walked in the direction of the main house, and said:
"It's cold outside, let's get inside. Leave it all to Joey and the cowboys. β
Back to the warm living room. As soon as Pei Pei and Fu Ya sat down on the sofa, Elena came out with a tray: "Miss Pell, Aya, Reese, welcome back to Xiaoquan Villa!" β
"It's just time for you to come back, and the cookies are freshly baked and still hot. Come on β try it and see how it tastes. Rhona got up and took the tray from Elena's hand, smiled and brought the plate of biscuits to the coffee table, and then poured a cup of coffee for each of them.
The fragrant cream biscuits hooked the index fingers of several people in Peipei, and Peipei leaned comfortably on the sofa. Enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea.
While enjoying this delicious afternoon tea, Pei Pei asked, "Why didn't you see your brother Thomson?" Where is he? Is it in the stable? β
Rhona glanced up at the wall clock and replied, "At this time." He must be training with the Triple Crown winner in a heated swimming pool converted from a flower house. β
"Really? I've never seen how horses swim! Would you like to come with me? Pei Pei drank the coffee in one gulp, got up and put down the empty coffee cup, bent down and grabbed a cookie and stuffed it into her mouth, then looked at Fu Ya and Reese, and asked.
Reese's eyes lit up, and she swallowed the biscuit in her mouth and quickly got up.
Fu Ya smiled and shook her head. Pointing to the time displayed on the wall clock, he replied, "I'm not going to look at it." It's getting late, and I'm ready to help Rhona and the others prepare dinner. β
"Okay then." Pei Pei put her coat back on. He beckoned to Reese and said, "Reese, let's go." β
Out of the main house, Pei Pei and Reese walked in the direction of the flower house.
Spring is not far off. Along the way, Pei Pei noticed a lot of greenery faintly emerging from the flower garden.
The two walked to the front of the flower room, and the vines climbing outside the glass of the flower room gradually broke away from the withered yellow and grew a lot of new and tender branches and buds.
As soon as she pushed the door of the flower house, Pei Pei saw Thomson squatting by the pool, whispering softly to the triple crown winner in the pool: "Baby, you are awesome in the water!" Wow~ Good girl, you're amazing! Come on! Two laps are over, and Uncle Thomson rewards you with a big apple! β
With a "poof", Reese couldn't help but laugh.
Thomson looked up and drove in the direction of laughter, and it turned out that the boss had come with her assistant.
"Miss Pell, Miss Reese, when did you arrive?" Thomson stood up and walked in Peipei's direction.
"It wasn't long before I arrived. How's that, how much has the Triple Crown improved during this time? Pei Pei smiled and walked over.
The Triple Crown seemed to hear the voice of the owner, it was originally turned away from the door, but it turned its head humanely, and after seeing that it was really his master, the Triple Crown was completely excited. The four hooves that stepped on the bottom of the water immediately turned around, and the Triple Crown King behind him struggled to move his four hooves and marched hard in the direction of Pei Pei.
After about three or four minutes, the Triple Crown finally came to his master. It looked at its master with big bright eyes, and called out in a "whooshing" way. It's obvious. It's coquettish with its master.
Pei Pei squatted down by the pool, gently holding the head of the Triple Crown, gently stroking the bridge of its nose, and frowning and asking Thomson: "Is this pool too shallow?" I don't think the Triple Crown is swimming at all, it's just walking in the water. β
Pei Pei didn't mention it. Reese didn't notice the height of the pool at first. Hearing the boss say this, she realized that the height of the entire water surface was exactly about two or three centimeters below the back of the Triple Crown.
Reese bent down curiously and looked at the bottom of the poolβ
Sure enough, the four hooves of the Triple Crown did not hang in the air, but stood firmly at the bottom of the pool.
"Huh? This pool is really shallow! The engineering team in this rural area is really cutting corners! Thomson, didn't you always follow the engineering team to oversee the entire renovation process, why didn't you point it out at the time? Reese looked at Thomson with a huff.
Thomson smiled, "Miss Pell." Reese, you don't really think that this pool will be used for horses to swim in after it's built, do you? β
"What? Isn't it? Pei Pei wrinkled her nose.
"Hahahaha," Thomson laughed.
After laughing, Thomson patted the Triple Crown Winner on the head and got up, turning his gaze to the two ladies beside him. Seeing the word "curious" written on the faces of the two women, Thomson smiled and raised his index finger. After shaking her finger at Peipei, she said, "No! noοΌ noοΌ Of course it's not what you think it is! β
Seeing that the "curiosity" on the faces of the two ladies was even more obvious, Thomson also deliberately sold the guanzi: "This swimming pool was built under my supervision, how can I not know how deep I have to dig to be qualified." The depth of this pool is dΓΉ but I specified! β
"Okay, okay, don't deliberately sell off, let's talk about the reason!" Reese urged impatiently.
Thomson was urged by the anxious Reese to finally stop selling the off. He laughs and explains to Pei Pei and Reese: "Having thoroughbreds train in the pool was the first thing that became popular in the British. The purpose of training is not to let the horse learn to swim, but to expose the horse to the pressure of the water, firstly, to train the horse's cardiopulmonary function, and secondly, to train the horse's muscle explosiveness. So. The height of the water is just right at the moment! β
Thomson pointed to the position of the water surface and said, "When the Triple Crown grows a little taller, I will adjust the height of the water level appropriately." Miss Pell. You see, the most appropriate water level is about two centimeters below the horse's back, so that the horse's entire lower body can be exposed to the water pressure. The Triple Crown Champion is not yet two years old, so I give the Triple Crown Triple Crown an hour or so of training in the water every afternoon. As the Triple Crown wins older, I'm going to have to gradually increase the amount of time he spends training in the water. β
Speaking of the training plan, Thomson looked at Pei Pei excitedly. "Miss Pell, you've definitely bought a good horse! Speaking from experience. Generally, thoroughbreds under the age of two should not train in the water for more than half an hour! But our Triple Crown was a little girl underage. It can last up to an hour in the water like a three-year-old adult horse! Even without dissection, I'm sure the Triple Crown definitely inherited its powerful cardiopulmonary function from its ancestor, the legendary King of Horses! β
- There are thousands of children and grandchildren of the Secretariat, and if it weren't for the fact that I fed the Triple Crown Champion the Strength Pill and drank water containing Spiritual Energy every meal, it would have been just like so many of its blood brothers and sisters, either unknown or exclusively for breeding! However, heredity? What a good explanation! With the aura of such an ancestor as the legendary King of Horses Secretariat, the track results after the Triple Crown have the best explanation!
Pei Pei smiled triumphantly.
She patted the Triple Crown on the head and pointed to the other side of the pool, "Good girl, train with your Uncle Thomson!" After training, I'll feed you apples! β
The Triple Crown understood his master's command, and after licking his master's cheek, he immediately turned around and moved his four hooves in the direction of the other end of the pool. This time it moved faster than usual to the shore at the other end of the pool, and then it turned and cried out with its neck raised in the direction of its master, as if begging for its master's praise.
After about twenty minutes of training with the Triple Crown, the whole training time was over.
Together, Peipei and Thomson helped the Triple Crown Champion clean the water stains from the horses and returned them to the stable.
Then, she and Reese played with their respective horses. Thomson, on the other hand, picked up the tools and listened to the brisk laughter of the two ladies while smiling and wielding the tools to sweep up the manure in the stable.
It was getting dark
That's when Joey came over. While he helped Thomson clean the stable, he told Pei Pei that the meal would be open in half an hour. According to Joey, tonight's dinner was a mix of East and West, and Fu Ya and Lorna both prepared a lot of delicious meals.
Reese moved her index finger when she heard this, and stopped playing with her "Wind Whisperer", saying that she wanted to help serve the food, and then she took Peipei with her, and walked out of the stable in the direction of the main house.
After the big guy happily enjoyed a sumptuous Chinese and Western delicious dinner, Lorna, Elena and other ladies helped clean up the table. Pei Pei, on the other hand, beckoned Joey into the study to talk. (To be continued)
