Chapter 198: Exploit your strengths and avoid your weaknesses

Shi Lei ate very hilariously, he didn't go to the elders' table to join in the fun or feel uncomfortable, but to have a table with Alexander, at this time, as long as you eat and drink to your heart's content, occasionally give full play to the spirit of his own master, mention a drink, and say a few words of thanks or something at the right time.

More time everyone is enjoying the food freely and exchanging their own topics. Anyway, they are all friends of the same age who are so familiar, there is no need to play some virtual things.

Alexander, who didn't sit next to Shi Lei, chatted with Shi Lei about his dessert shop. In fact, his dessert shop is also ready, just waiting to open.

The last few desserts in this private restaurant were written by the pastry master invited by Alexander, and the taste is absolutely unspeakable. So for this dessert shop, Shi Lei is also full of confidence.

Alexander also invited Shi Lei and them to go to the dessert shop to help support the scene, the time has been determined, and his father will definitely go when the time comes. Vantaa has always been happy to see his son increasingly involved in gastronomy. Shi Lei, as one of the bosses, will definitely be there, and Lincoln and they all said that there was no problem.

After everything here is over, Shi Lei can finally return to the ranch to continue his practice, but before that, Shi Lei still has an important thing to do.

My sister's family has also participated in the opening of my mother's private restaurant, it's time to return to China, and it's time to go back to mid-August, and go back to prepare for the start of the new semester.

Guoguo is still a little reluctant to give up on the gentlemen, but this time Shi Lei doesn't plan to send this back to China for Guoguo, this is a wild animal, and it is too much trouble to let her continue to raise it. Shi Lei can't be an uncle who responds to requests.

Bidding farewell to his parents who had become busy because of their new careers, Shi Lei and Laura returned to the ranch and continued his leisurely and comfortable ranch life.

On the day of the opening of the dessert shop, Shi Lei specially brought Laura, who likes to eat desserts, with him. Laura has been busy making and designing various costumes for a while, and she is really busy. This time I came to the dessert shop to taste all kinds of sweets as a treat, anyway, Laura belongs to the kind of physique that will not get fat no matter how much she eats, and I don't know how many ladies who love beauty and are reluctant to talk about it.

After briefly surviving the scene for the dessert shop, Shi Lei finally remembered to go to the Rock Fitness Center to see his master Kane, who he hadn't seen for a while. Not surprisingly, after being scolded by Master Kane, Shi Lei's lesson to the master is almost to the point of spitting on himself, this will just pretend to be taught, and wait for the master's anger to subside.

Shi Lei's current combat training has been introduced, and all the moves and power methods have been mastered. If you want to continue to improve, you mainly rely on Shi Lei's own hard work, and see how his understanding is, occasionally find an opportunity to learn from Tony and them, and add some practical experience, and you don't need to really follow the master every day.

So Master Kane didn't forget if he was angry, he didn't really get angry, of course, he still took this opportunity to try his hand with Shi Lei, and Shi Lei also faced it with his real fighting level. Luckily, I've recently picked up training again. Otherwise, he would definitely not be beaten by Master Kane, who had the heart to teach Shi Lei a lesson.

Here Shi Lei also saw Liao Chengjun's figure, this guy's strength has come up now, no worse than the strength of the muscle stick of the general alliance, of course, it will definitely not reach the level of crab roe. But in the shooting guard position, the power is still very dominant.

It's just that the power surge has caused more trouble, and he still can't grasp his strength well in his current shooting, so he is still practicing shooting.

While trying to regain his touch, Liao Chengjun is also trying to learn some new offensive and defensive techniques that are more suitable for this body. For this reason, he specially invited a personal trainer to be responsible for providing targeted guidance according to his situation.

His goal is to find a team that fits when the ML trade door opens. Until then, he's going to have to make himself stronger. He still has half a year to find his new style of play and positioning.

The two fighting seeds selected by the Rock Center, Xian Xiami and Allen, are also training hard, and Master Kane and the boxing coach both said that they trained very hard and did not slack off, so Shi Lei can rest assured.

And Kirby, who is a senior member as a guest, will also come to the rock from time to time for some training, which has attracted a lot of popularity to the rock. Shi Lei also specially called Kebi to express his gratitude for this, obviously this is to increase the exposure of the rock for his own face, and it can be regarded as Kebi repaying the favor.

After making sure that the rock side was also running well and was moving in a better and better direction, Shi Lei was relieved to return to the ranch with Master Kane's instructions to continue to work hard.

The interaction between the ranchers is about to begin, Shi Lei has to go back to make some preparations, for this event, Shi Lei also expressed a strong interest, after the project is determined, Shi Lei is already confident in organizing people.

Hanks represented Stone Ranch and went to discuss with a few other ranchers who were also acquaintances, and the others were old Mack, old John and these guys, and the final selected projects were basically compulsory courses for cowboys, shooting, horseback riding and tying calves.

Because the rancher needs to play in person, and Old John, who has old arms and legs, and then goes to drum and train wild horses to ride bison, etc., the traditional rodeo is completely looking for excitement, so some too intense activities are canceled.

The projects that can be selected can rely on experience to make up for the shortcomings of the body, and everyone can accept them. And in order to prevent one person from making a mistake and affecting the performance of the entire ranch, each ranch can have 3 people participate in the competition.

The candidates on the side of Stone Ranch were quickly decided, because it was really a good choice, except for Shi Lei, who must participate as a rancher, the others who had advantages in these aspects, and Shi Lei was also more impressed by Hanks and Gonzalez.

The two of them are definitely the most suitable candidates among the old cowboys in the ranch, and it is not clear whether the new cowboys have suitable candidates Shi Lei, even if there is Shi Lei, he does not plan to change people, and this time taking the two of them over also reflects Shi Lei's importance to the two of them and shows an attitude.

Shi Lei has always been very confident in shooting, and horseback riding is now very familiar, and there is no problem, only the project of tying calves Shi Lei has really never done it, usually the cowboys come to get it, Shi Lei has only occasionally seen them operate a few times, because the size of the livestock in the pasture is too obedient, so it is too little time to use this skill.

In order not to hold back, Shi Lei has been practicing tying calves recently, and the calves used as targets are unlucky.

Every time he was released from the fence, he ran desperately with great joy, and then he was caught by Shi Lei throwing a rope sleeve, and a guy hit the street, and then Shi Lei jumped off the horse at the fastest speed, and tied the four hooves of the calf with his body.

Before the calf could cheer, it turned into a miserable cry, and after a few times, the calf simply stopped running, and the big cow of the family became restless, and kept breathing, as if it was about to attack.

Hanks smiled helplessly beside them, you can practice, you can't catch a calf and bully it, this trick can't stand it, Hanks and Gonzalez went up to rotate the calf out, and also pointed out Shi Lei's action essentials, and corrected his mistakes by the way.

The three of them also considered a training camp, and they got together to practice the three main events of the competition. Both of them are veterans and are familiar with these projects.

Gonzalez has directly participated in rodeo competitions, and he has won the championship in shooting, and Hanks is also experienced in a hundred battles, and the only thing that may need to be strengthened is Shi Lei, not only has shortcomings in the project, but he also has no competition experience. So this training camp is mainly Shi Lei is being trained.

In Shi Lei's expectation, this exchange competition started at the ranch of Old John's family, which is held from time to time, and the venue is generally held in turns to several pastures.

The people from the other ranches came directly on horseback, and everyone was still used to riding their own horses to participate in the race, and Old John did not plan to provide mounts.

The older ones, like John and Mike, basically bring their children to participate in the competition, as if they were parent-child activities, although these children are already old men.

It seems that they really want their children to inherit their mantle, but in fact, they are all doing this, and now they are either helping their father with the work of the ranch, or they are going out to run their own ranch.

There are also young ranchers like Shi Lei and Prince. With three people from each ranch, the number of people has also increased, and there are dozens of people on the scene.

In this case, it is obviously a waste of time for everyone to squeeze into a project one by one, so after a little chat, everyone will arrange for each person to start a project. In order to be better at the first project, everyone must choose the project they are best at.

Shi Lei chose to shoot without hesitation, and Hanks went to face the barrel race he was more familiar with, this horseback riding event requires more experience in controlling horses, which is just right for Hanks. And the set of calf competition, of course, Gonzalez was the first to go, and the calf could be directly flipped with one hand, and he would definitely not be able to run out of his palm.

Shi Lei ran to the shooting range to take a look, and the people gathered here were basically young people, and the older generation of ranchers who were relatively experienced but had some influence on their actions all ran to the barrel race to race horses with guys like Hanks. And the gathering of the calves seems to be all well-known cowboy masters from various ranches, and it seems that everyone almost wants to go together, and they all want to win a good start in their best projects.
