Yunding Ranch

Chapter 264
"Boom... boom..."

Wave after wave of vibrations roared past, and just after leaving the parking lot, one could feel the turmoil and excitement in the air. Even though the turbulent crowd could not be seen in sight, one could still feel the ubiquitous crowd , surged.

Brandon's footsteps sped up a little, and he came to the street, looking at a group of young people not far away, holding up their beer glasses, singing and laughing loudly, the singing of "Long Live the Queen" came intermittently, as if they were Like participating in a carnival, Brandon couldn't help but feel a little eager to try. He turned his head, looked at Lu Li and Tony who were lagging behind, and said loudly, "Let's go."

Brandon like this is even more excited than in Burgundy before.The difference is that at that time it was the power of alcohol, but today Brandon has not drunk a drop and is completely sober. The only thing that can make him so excited is the horse.

After leaving France, they arrived in England, but did not stop in London, all the way to Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

In the UK, horse racing is a very important sport, not as a gambling occasion, but as a daily consumption place like cinemas, theaters, and bars.Not only are there daily horse races every day, but there are also several large-scale horse races a year, even members of the royal family will attend.

It can be said that horse racing is one of the most important social occasions for the British.

Lu Li didn't go directly to the stud farm in a hurry, but came to the racetrack to experience the British horse racing culture up close and truly integrate into it.Looking at Brandon's back full of expectations, you know that this decision is correct. Although Brandon is a master horse breeder and there are many racecourses in the United States, when it comes to the orthodox horse racing culture, he still has to come to the UK .

After buying tickets to enter, you can see the typical British country style.

Along the bustling street, red mailboxes read, "Keep Calm and Come Home a Winner," an obvious call to buy more horses; manicured potted plants and bouquets are delicately arranged Some are in the shape of a horse, some in the shape of a trophy, and some in the shape of a rider. Each potted plant is marked with its own name, which seems to have its origin and history.

Among the people walking, the ladies are all well-dressed, wearing beautiful dresses, elegant top hats, and many even wear gloves, as if they were nobles in the Victorian era; the men are all in suits, white shirts and checkered In a patterned suit, with a cane in his hand and a cigar in his mouth, he looks like a handsome gentleman attending a high society banquet.

Of course, there are young people, young people who represent the future of Britain.They wore decent suits, suits and dresses, but they were all crumpled and out of shape at this time. There were even some people walking on the street with their breasts/exposed/breasts, holding beer glasses, cheering, singing, Screaming, it seems that they are tearing the shackles that bind the older generation, breaking out into a world.

It was still in the morning, and the day's horse racing might have just begun, but they were already lost in alcohol and carnivaled.

This is Britain, young and old, open and conservative.

When they reached the first fork in the road, two "long-legged" girls walked towards each other, causing the three of Lu Li to raise their heads involuntarily, and the smiles on their faces followed the arc of their heads.

I saw that the two girls were walking on stilts, and their slender thighs seemed to have no end; A vest wraps the chest, outlining the beauty of the bust line vividly; the wonderful body proportions have a different style.

The two girls lifted up their skirts boldly, walked forward enthusiastically, and took pictures with passing tourists. A large group of people gathered around, and the scene was very lively.

Behind the girl is a two-person-high potted plant, trimmed to look like a wine barrel, with two bottles of champagne inside, and a huge brand logo hanging on the barrel.Lu Li guessed that this should be one of the sponsors of the racecourse, and it is also the main sponsor.

Lu Li couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you going to take a photo for a while?"

Tony didn't answer at all, and directly expressed it with actions, striding forward, "Girls, can you take a photo with us?"

"Of course!" The two girls laughed brightly, and then Tony waved his hands vigorously, "Come on, come here quickly."

Lu Li and Brandon exchanged glances, both of them laughed, let go of their hands and feet, and walked forward together, then Lu Li handed the phone to an Englishman next to him, inviting him to help take pictures, recording this precious moment .

After actually entering the racetrack, all words became pale.The verdant green grass is laid out in the center, the reddish-brown runway exudes a sticky earthy smell, and the stables at the far end can feel the restlessness in the air... In a world where white and green are the main colors, red and blue Colors and other colorful colors are surging, and the kind of fresh vitality is beating lightly.

Above the stands, the crowd was extremely crowded, shoulder to shoulder hot and turbulent, making Lu Li feel like he was back at the Spring Festival travel festival again.

Lu Li looked around for the number of seats, while Tony turned his head and shouted at Brandon, "Do we want to buy a horse?"

Within sight, most of the spectators have already found their seats and sat down. What people are holding are not horse scriptures, but beer and drinks; It is also the reason why the British are more willing to call "horse racing" rather than "horse betting".Anyone can buy a horse, but it's just part of the fun of the race-watching experience, not the main purpose.

"Buy," Brandon yelled. "Let's go over there, Fourteen, do you need anything? Or are you coming with us?"

"Go ahead, I'll go find a seat." Lu Li looked at the seat number, "No. 27 in the fourth row, I'll go first, and then you come to me. I want popcorn and beer. By the way, there is butter Strawberry?"

"Cream Strawberry, do you think this is Wimbledon?" Tony laughed and complained, and then turned around with Brandon. The crowd that was venting like a torrent couldn't help, and the two had to step aside , and then leaning against the chair with his back, moving back step by step, it was extremely difficult.

Lu Li followed the crowd and began to move down, counting from the first row to the back, and found the fourth row, whispering "sorry" all the way, and found the location of the three of them.

Sitting next to her was a gray-haired old woman, wearing a white top hat, a bright yellow dress and a small white floral coat, as if she was watching " Swan Lake" ballet performance.

"Good morning." Lu Li took the initiative to say hello, and the old lady turned her head, showing an elegant smile, "Good morning, young man." She took a serious look at Lu Li's attire, "First time at the racetrack, huh? "

Lu Li looked at his navy blue shirt and light brown cropped pants, "Is there something wrong? Am I being rude?"

"No, there's nothing wrong." The old lady shook her head with a smile, "It's just that we will be more formal. Because in the past, when attending such occasions, the queen might also appear. We need to behave properly, don't we? However, Now young people don’t have so many demands, and the queen hasn’t come to the racecourse for a long time.”

"Queen?" Lu Li showed a surprised expression and chatted enthusiastically.The old lady seemed very satisfied. It was rare that someone was willing to chat with her and listen to her nagging.

Before they knew it, Brandon and Tony had already returned. The two of them were talking loudly about buying a horse just now. After sitting down next to Lu Li, the two of them noticed Lu Li's new partner, "Hey, let's pay attention. Here you go, in a short time, you've made a new friend, won't you introduce us?"

"This is Brandon, this is Tony." Lu Li took the initiative to introduce, and then looked at the old lady next to him, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Fourteen."

"Oh, I'm Catherine." The old lady extended her right hand and introduced herself, "I'm from Liverpool."

"No one can refuse Anfield." Lu Li's words made Catherine laugh out loud, "You're like George, he's always talking about Anfield, he's still a member there, until now, every year I still go Receive season tickets to the team."

Lu Li noticed the "past tense" used by Catherine. If he guessed correctly, George might have passed away.

"Sports have always played an irreplaceable role for men. I think at least I should be thankful that he is not a racing car collector." Lu Li's teasing made Catherine smile.

"Catherine, Fourteen's rhetoric can always please people, don't be deceived by him." Tony sat next to him and complained, "He is a football fanatic."

"Really?" Catherine frowned, but immediately patted Lu Li's arm, "You're such a sweetheart, aren't you? But, I'm already very old, so there's no need for you to say something insincere just to please me." Words. Although I never liked rugby, it's a rough game."

rude sport.

Lu Li was genuinely amused. He nodded to Catherine, "No matter your age, you are still a lady, a lady. This is what my grandmother taught me."

"Oh. Your grandmother must be a lady." A bright smile appeared on Catherine's face.

"Catherine, please allow me." Tony handed the beer in his hand to Catherine, "Or, are you more inclined to... this?" Then, Tony handed over the strawberry cream in the other hand.Tony glanced at Lu Li by the way, these are Lu Li's snacks, but Lu Li didn't mind, and looked at Catherine with a smile.

Catherine froze for a moment, but immediately felt the friendly smiles from Lu Li, Tony and Brandon, and nodded, "Please give me a glass of beer. One glass is enough. It's still morning, so I can't drink too much. Otherwise, I will return After we get home, we will hear nagging again." Catherine took the beer generously with a smile on her face.
