Dinner was eaten at a certain café in the town, and after eating, Li Han sent Lydia back to the manor. Originally, Lydia wanted to stay, but Li Han coaxed her back under the pretext that she was not staying overnight on her birthday tomorrow. He didn't dare to leave her behind, or he wasn't sure if he would turn into a wolf in the middle of the night and eat her clean.

Obviously, I was with Catherine for a few days a few days ago, why is it still so hot? Li Han drove back to the villa, silently cooked a bowl of herbal tea to heat and lower the fire, drank it with a bitter and hateful face, and did not cultivate, just went back to the room and fell asleep.

He had already attributed the reason for his anger to cultivation, because since his cultivation had made a small gain, Li Han had shown that his ability was getting better and better, and seven times a night was no longer a dream. It is normal for the capacity to be high and the demand to be strong. So this time, he didn't dare to let Lydia stay overnight, so he was directly angry at cultivation.

But now he has long been accustomed to running the true yuan when he does anything, basically 24 hours a day, and it doesn't matter much whether he meditates at night or not.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, when Li Han was still eating breakfast, Tom, Benedict, and Gavin came. Seeing Li Han's steaming fragrant porridge and appetizing side dishes at a glance, he immediately put aside the fact that he had eaten bread and sausages in the car, and unceremoniously filled a bowl of each, and sat down to eat.

"It's so fragrant, we're welcome." "We have some bread and sausages we bought on the road, so if you don't have enough," Benedict said, "Let's get rid of them if you don't have them." ”

Li Han wiped a cold sweat, if he didn't want to be lazy, and even prepared to continue drinking porridge with Gou Gou and Jiujiu at noon, they would definitely not have to drink. Fortunately, they had breakfast after all, and each of them was full after drinking a small half bowl, and the porridge was barely enough, so he did not go hungry.

"I thought you would not come here until the evening," Li Han said, "or I would have called you yesterday afternoon." ”

Benedict shook his head as he put some side dishes in his mouth: "I was on a show last night, and I can't come." ”

Tom echoed him: "I didn't have until eight o'clock in the evening yesterday. ”

Only Gavin was more idle, but he was not in London yesterday, but was in Huddersfield's estate to attend to some family matters, and had made an appointment with Benedict in the morning.

Not long after breakfast, Lydia's call came: "Cold, do you want to go see Old Tom's ranch?" I asked Old Tom just now, and he had no opinion. ”

Li Han naturally has no opinion, anyway, he has nothing to do, even if he doesn't buy it, it's good to take a look and understand the market.

"There's a ranch nearby, I'm going to go and see it, do you want to go together?" He asked.

Everyone was bored, and when they heard the rumors, they all stood up and said they wanted to go.

So I drove out.

It was only ten minutes away, and when she arrived, Lydia was already waiting in front of the gate of the ranch, and she had come to buy milk. Originally, there was a special person to do this work, but Lydia mainly wanted to help Li Han ask about the ranch, so she deliberately ran this trip herself.

Benedict parked the car on the side of the road, and Li Han couldn't wait to get out of the car to greet him: "Lydia, good morning." ”

"Good morning, cold." Lydia waved to the crowd, "Morning, Benedict, Tom, and Gavin, did you arrive in the morning?" It was so early. ”

The gate of the ranch is made of pine wood with no bark removed, and a wooden board hangs from the lintel, which is also simply not decorated at all, except for the word "pasture". For some reason, the British seem to be afraid that others will see their house number, and always like to hide it in a very secret place.

Once Li Han took a taxi in London to go to a certain place, the taxi driver searched the street for a long time but couldn't find the house number, and couldn't help complaining: "What are they doing hiding the house number?" It's so much trouble that I spend half a day every day looking for house numbers. ”

Li Han asked: "Is the house number of your house eye-catching?" ”

The driver replied decisively: "Why do you order it so eye-catching?" ”

Li Han could only ......

However, although the gate of this ranch still hides the house number, it is still very quaint and atmospheric, very English country style.

On both sides of the gate are barbed wire fences more than one person high, mainly to prevent cattle and sheep from escaping out of the pasture. There were no cows in sight, but dozens of dark brown beef cattle were grazing leisurely, and some strange sheep with black faces and hooves.

They walked down the one-way street in the middle of the meadow, and in the distance, a gray stone hut stood against the hill. Before coming to the UK, Li Han had never seen such an old stone house inhabited, in Huangguo, even in the countryside, most of them were built brick houses, like this kind of stone old house, that has to be very poor people to live, basically abandoned ruins. But in the UK, it seems that most of the houses are very old, and a large number are hundreds of years old. They pay attention to inheritance, whether it is a house or furniture, if it is passed down for many generations, they will feel very face-saving and a family with a foundation.

Not far from the stone hut there is a long board house that looks like new. Lydia led them in that direction: "Old Tom is still busy, this is the cowshed, old Tom bought a batch of automatic milking machines many years ago, and now the labor is too expensive, and the manual milking has to lose money." ”

As he spoke, an old man in his seventies opened the door and walked out, his head was snow-white, his face was furrowed, and his beard was all white. Behind them came a herd of cows, and as soon as they came out, they went to graze on the meadow of their own accord, and it seemed that they had just milked all the cows.

"I remember that Tom Sr. used to raise a few hundred cows, but now that he is older, he has only raised more than a hundred cows and beef cattle combined. His son wanted to take him to live in the city, and he refused to leave the pasture. "Old Tom, my friend has come to see the ranch. ”

When Old Tom saw them, he hurriedly came over to greet them: "Good morning, gentlemen, the weather is really nice today, isn't it?" ”

It started drizzling early this morning, and the weather was really not good. But the rule of greetings in the UK is that when talking about the weather, it's best not to contradict others. So Li Han replied calmly: "Yes, the weather is very good. ”

After a few more words about the weather, old Tom invited them to tea in the stone hut. When Li Han sat down, he couldn't help but turn his head and look around, this house is indeed small enough, and it is dark, this is a common problem of old houses.

They sat in front of the fireplace on a set of sand, dark red cloth sand with an old style, which looked like the pastures that had been inherited from their ancestors. The herringbone roof is less than 4 meters above the ground, and the windows are at least three meters high, only half a meter high and 30 centimeters wide. If the door hadn't been open, the room would have been dark.

The kitchen is open and compact in the West, and the dining table is quite large, and the already small space is even narrower. On the other side of the living room are three doors, and when you enter it, you should be the bedroom and bathroom, so it shouldn't be too big.

There was no hostess in sight, so old Tom poured tea for them himself, sat down happily, and said, "My ranch is good, isn't it?" Although the pasture is only 300 acres, it is enough to raise a few hundred cattle, and the hill behind it is also mine, which can raise dozens of sheep. And this house, which is almost 200 years old. Saying that, he suddenly sighed, "This ranch has been passed into my hands, and I am really reluctant to sell it, but my son refuses to agree to come back to manage the ranch, he is dirty and tired." Now that milking cows is a machine, how tired can you be. In the final analysis, it is because the countryside is not as lively and fun as the city. ”

Li Han could only comfort him: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, he will stay in the city, it must be that the work in the city is not low, otherwise how can he not want to come back." ”

Old Tom also smiled, his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "That's it, my son became the CEO of the company, and I heard that the whole company listened to him." ”

Everyone laughed: "That's a good mix, no wonder you don't want to come back, maybe the annual salary is enough to buy this half of the ranch." ”

Li Han said, "Old Tom, can you show us the ranch?" ”

"Of course, of course, you can take a look at this house first. This house was built when my ancestors bought this ranch and we have maintained it very well. Old Tom, who was comforted, smiled and cocked his beard, as if he didn't even mind selling the pasture, although there was still reluctance on his face.

Li Han is not interested in the house, even if he really wants to buy a ranch, he will definitely not live in this house, either live in a villa, or build another cottage in the ranch, he really can't appreciate this kind of black old house.

However, the owner of the house proudly invited them to visit, and he did not refuse, so he followed around the house. The house was not as small as he thought, it occupied an area of about a hundred square meters, and the three doors were one for half a bathroom, one for the utility room, and the other was open to another world, which surprised him.

When the door opened, there was a small living room, still furnished with antique-level furniture, and further inside were the bedrooms, which were three. Old Tom opened the door and showed them that it was not too big, but not small, typical of the English countryside, but from the house as a whole, the house had not had a mistress for a long time.

Old Tom opened the back door, which led to the back mountain: "The mountain behind is also mine, it is 5 acres in size, I used to raise sheep, but now I can't take care of it, anyway, there are fewer cattle, so I raise sheep on the pasture." ”
