Ye Zi asked, "Then what can I do?" ”

Auntie: "Wash Bai Bai and go to bed and wait." ”

Ye Zi nodded: "Oh, then I'll go wash it." ”

Hearing the sound of the leaves in the water and bathing, the baby tiger also followed, and then jumped into the bathtub to make trouble.

Ye Zi hugged the baby's head and kissed it: "Baby, don't add me, you don't know that your tongue is full of barbs." Mom's skin is very delicate. It's good to kiss later. ”

Baby: "Whew~"

Leaf: "Wrong, it's called meow~"

Baby: "Meow~"

Leaf: "Yes, meow~"

Baby: "Meow~"

As soon as Saturday arrived, Zhang Cheng drove his aunt Ye Zi and the baby to the farm.

The staff of the farm are four women and six men, raising more than 2,000 turkeys and more than 300 pigs and sheep, Ms. Casey, who was appointed as the farm manager, saw the farmer's family coming, and reported to Yezi: "Mike of the farm is usually responsible for raising horses and training horses, and the former farmer took his horse away after leaving, and now Mike has nothing to do to help us with chores." This is not good news for your money utilization. ”

Ye Zi: "Ms. Casey, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Casey: "If you don't want to fire Mike, you should buy three or five ranch horses so you can ride them while you're here." We usually use it when we are raising turkeys and sheep. ”

Ye Zi wondered: "Aren't chickens raised in rows of cages?" ”

"The nutritional benefits of turkey eggs in that way will be reduced, but it will only improve the turkey's egg production rate and save space, and it will not be good for the health of the turkey," says Ms. Casey. I'll give you a farm turkey with a new egg and you'll be able to tell. ”

In order to prove that the turkey eggs on her farm are not comparable to the kind of large-scale farming, Ms. Casey took a turkey egg and knocked it on the edge of a plate, and after breaking the turkey egg, the yolk and egg white fell together on the plate: "Look at his color. ”

Ye Zi didn't understand this very well, and the aunt looked at it and said: "This color is much more positive than the eggs bought in the supermarket, this is the traditional method of raising chai eggs." I'll fry you an egg at noon, and you'll understand as soon as you eat it. ”

"This lady is right, the farm's turkey eggs are highly rated in terms of taste and nutrition," Ms. Casey said. Every morning, the turkey eggs are served to large hotels in Las Vegas. ”

The turkey eggs on the plate were licked off and eaten by the baby in Ye Zi's arms in a few bites, which was really not a snack for a half-grown baby.

Ms. Casey also noticed that the baby was not a stuffed animal: "Is this your pet?" ”

Yezi: "That's right, Bengal white meow, the name is baby." ”

Baby: "Meow~"

Zhang Cheng asked: "Is there a ranch that sells horses nearby?" ”

Ms. Casey: "Yes, there are farms that specialize in domesticating horses. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Let Mike come here, let's go see the horses." Ye Zi and Aunt also went to pick horses. ”

Mike, who is in charge of raising horses on the farm, is a white man who can't tell his age, he looks about 25-45 years old, with a beard and a cowboy, riding boots and spurs.

Mike got on the car and said: "I always feel a little fluttery these days when I don't ride a horse, I go to the stables every night to have a look, and now I can only see empty stables at night, and I always feel like something is missing in the stables without horses." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Where is the ranch where the horses are sold?" ”

"Two miles ahead, there's a rough dirt road that turns left, a few hundred meters away. It's a family ranch that specializes in domesticating horses for ranching and rodeos, and horses are also bought at the rodeo in Las Vegas. What kind of horses do we need? ”

Zhang Cheng looked at the two ladies in the back seat, thought for a moment and said, "Docile horse." ”

The family ranch was not far away, and after arriving at the ranch, Mike, who was familiar with the pasture, went up to say hello, and everyone went to the horse farm in the back to watch the horses.

Because there are no thoroughbreds for the track, the advantage is that the price is cheap, and the ranch horses that are tamed are a few thousand dollars each, and the undomesticated ponies are cheaper and only a few hundred dollars.

Horses are not docile in terms of personality, especially the stallions, and the strongest stallions must run at the front of the wind when running - this is also the basis for horse racing. But the stallion that runs behind will bite and kick the stallion that runs in front.

Relatively docile, only mares and geldings. Mike chose a three-year-old stallion for breeding stallions, and Zhang Cheng and Aunt Ye Zi both chose a three- to four-year-old mare that matched him.

There is also a saying that people and horses are compatible, a horse will decide whether to like this person at the first glance of seeing him, accept the person's petting and feeding and intimacy, and if the horse retreats it is not liked. The stallion is 3,600 dollars, and the mare is about the same price, ranging from 3,003 to 3,050.

Of course, this price must not have a saddle water reins, a set of water reins and a saddle add up to a thousand dollars, and buying a horse only gives a blanket spread on the horse's back. This ranch also sells water reins and saddles. Four sets of saddle ropes were bought, and it was more than 6,000 dollars.

After Zhang Cheng fed a carrot to the mare he picked, he named her: Jenny. Covered the mare Jenny with a sweat pad, put on the water reins, and without a saddle, Zhang Cheng jumped up and jumped on the horse's back. Zhang Cheng knocked his feet on the horse's belly: "Rack." ”

As if she understood, Jenny the mare walked forward with small steps. Seeing that the mare Jenny moved, the remaining three horses followed.

Mike: "Wow, bareback riding." Dear, were you a cowboy before? ”

"It's not. You drive them back, and I'll take the horses back." ”

Mike drove a Cadillac in front and slowly swayed, and Zhang Cheng rode Jenny with three horses to follow. After arriving at his farm, Ye Zi got off the car and wanted to ride a horse: "Brother, when did you learn to ride a horse?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "I forgot, but when I saw this horse, I suddenly thought I could ride her, and then I jumped on it." Would you like to try it? ”

Yezi: "Okay. ”

Zhang Cheng dismounted, put water reins and sweat pads on Ye's horse, and helped Ye Zi to ride on Yezi's chosen horse without sareback.

Zhang Cheng asked Ye Zi: "Have you given a name to your horse?" ”

Yezi: "Not yet, I think about it, well, it's okay to call it Bei Yan." ”

Zhang Cheng: "The teacher who taught you English was a foreign teacher from Tangshan." ”

Yezi: "Don't talk nonsense, people are of Mexican descent. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, now sit upright." Keep your chest up and your head up. Try to give commands to the horse with the reins and legs, as well as vocalizations. If it's okay, even if you fall, you won't be able to fall. ”

Under Zhang Cheng's teaching, Ye soon learned to ride a horse bareback, which made Mike, who had been a horse trainer for many years, very strange. Why don't people who have no horseback riding experience actually ride a horse for the first time and don't even use saddle stirrups, these are obviously convenient tools for riding. The most difficult thing to boil down to is that the Chinese are really strange.
