Yunding Ranch

Chapter 344 Friends From Afar
"Richard!" Lu Li did not hide his surprise, exclaimed, and then quickly walked forward, gave Richard a big hug, and expressed his warm welcome.

It's been just over two months since the memory of Kumo Racecourse, but when they met again, Lu Li was extremely happy. The joy of having friends from afar was surging in his chest.Memories of being in England and Ireland back then flooded back, and inadvertently, I returned to the state of traveling again.

Taking half a step back, Lu Li noticed the slightly stiff expression on Richard's face. Lu Li not only didn't mind, but also laughed heartily, "Welcome to Texas."

The British don't like to hug. Strictly speaking, they are against physical contact between strangers.When possible, the British will choose to shake hands as much as possible; if they have to hug, they will only hug the shoulders, keeping a sufficient distance from the lower body, in this way to show their gentleman—or high cold .

Lu Li had experienced this in England before.He also respected the customs of the British.

However, this is Texas. To be more precise, this is Texas that has entered carnival mode. The actions of the locals are all open and closed, either bumping shoulders or hugging enthusiastically, and the expression of emotion is direct and fierce.

Richard was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the carnival people around him. He couldn't help laughing, and nodded vigorously, "Now I finally feel a little real, this is America."

That sarcasm made Lu Kai burst into laughter, "Why are you here? Why didn't you call in advance, you can come to my ranch, there are many rooms to live in."

"The two horses bred by our racecourse before will participate in this competition. One obstacle race and one speed race." Richard took the initiative to explain, "Coolmore Racecourse is collecting relevant data on competitive horse racing in the past year , Although this is not a World Series, we still hope to check it out."

Lu Li suddenly realized, and things became clear immediately.

Sure enough, Richard then went on to complete the puzzle, "Other people came here, but I heard that this time the game is in Texas, so I volunteered to come here specially. I was thinking about it, and today I will give you I made a phone call, but I didn't expect to see you so soon."

Lu Li's eyes widened, expressing his surprise - although the crowd is far from reaching its peak, it is not easy to find yourself in the crowd.

"Your Indian red feather hat is really ignorant; it's also worn by an Asian face." Richard received Lu Li's question, and there was a playful smile on his face, which made Lu Li involuntarily He laughed heartily, "A few guys from our racecourse came here, how is the situation? Are they still used to it? Shouldn't they be acclimatized?"

"They are fine, everything is fine." Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "Actually, next month, we will start breeding."

"That couldn't be better." Richard also showed a happy look, "Where's Brandon? Is he here today?" Richard scanned the surroundings for a week, but found that there were crowds of people, thinking It's really not easy to recognize a face. If Lu Li hadn't been wearing that fluffy feather hat just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the figure.

"No, he stayed in the ranch today." Lu Li's answer made Richard show a knowing expression and nodded, "Someone has to stay, right?"

"He's just worried about those baby bumps." Lu Li said teasingly, Richard couldn't help but smile, and spread his hands, "They are indeed a group of spoiled guests, we must treat them with caution." Lu Li pursed his lips, Not in favor, but not against.

Richard laughed dumbly, "If I have a chance, can I visit your ranch?" When he was in Ireland before, Richard had heard many stories about Yunding Ranch, most of which were from Brandon As I said, this made Richard full of curiosity and anticipation, which was also one of the important reasons why he took the initiative to apply.

Lu Li opened his hands and embraced, "Even if you don't come, I still hope to invite you. At least, I can provide a dinner to welcome you. This is the simplest thing you can do as a host." Richard De spread his hands, showing an expression of respect rather than obedience, "Do you have any special arrangements today? Or, before you officially start working, you are going to enjoy the style of Texas."

"I don't know, do you have any special introduction? I'm a complete stranger here." When he was in Liverpool before, Richard was the guide, and today it's Lu Li's turn.

"The position behind this is the exhibition of the Cowboy Convention, where you can see all the specialties of Texas; the street at the entrance, wait another hour, it will be crowded with all kinds of mobile food trucks and event booths; as for The venue of the competition is your specialty, so I don't need to introduce too much." Lu Li briefly concluded, "If you want, I can show you around."

Although Lu Li's most important task today is the booth, it is also very important to lead friends to experience the local customs and customs, just like what Richard did back then.What's more, Cole and others are in charge of the booth, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Oh, no, there is no way today, at least not for the whole day." Richard shook his head, "I have work today, and I have to watch a few preliminaries." He also showed regret Look, "But before the official game, I think there is still an hour to walk around and feel the style of the cowboy meeting."

"One hour? Then let's take a look at the exhibition behind us. There are at most three stalls, and your leisure time will be gone." Lu Li generously showed Richard the area behind him, "By the way, Yunding The ranch also has a booth here this year to display some of our own special products. If you are interested, welcome to taste."

"Wow, this is definitely not to be missed." Richard began to rub his hands, "I can't wait now. What specialties does Yunding Ranch have?"

"Except for fish and chips." Lu Li's rebuttal stunned Richard, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he insisted, "That's our British specialty, whether you like it or not, It's all part of our lives." The emotion between the words, a little helpless, but extremely firm, "As for looking up at the starry sky, forget it."

"Haha." In one sentence, the memories of that time flooded into Lu Li's mind, and both Lu Li and Richard laughed loudly, "Then come with me. There is still some time before the official unveiling of the booth, but I believe you You can find something you are interested in."

Richard followed up, "Of course, I firmly believe in this." But after taking two steps, Richard stopped, "Looking at my memory, I have forgotten, this time, I am not a People came here, and there are three other companions. I can't leave them behind. Without me, the three of them will probably be hungry."

That teasing tone made Lu Li laugh again, "The three of them are also welcome. Why don't we go find them and go to the booth together?"

It was originally Lu Li who led the way, but now it was Richard who led the way.

The two walked towards the competition area, but before their footsteps arrived, there was no special scene in sight, and the neighing of horses could already be heard in their ears. The restless boiling and excitement were somewhat familiar. More are unfamiliar.

Unlike Liverpool's Aintree Racecourse, the noise here seems to be more down-to-earth.

There are no elderly gentlemen in neat suits, only middle-aged cowboys with beards and scumbags kicking their riding boots; there are no elegant ladies dressed up, only brave and straightforward hot girls; there is no smell of newspaper ink, only rude Texas style Shouting... less the formality of a gentleman, and more roughness of a cowboy.Everything is more raw and at the same time more immediate.

"Why did you go to which area just now? This is not a short distance." The whole venue is very large, and many people are riding back and forth on horseback in sight. The strong atmosphere of western movies makes people smile. you.After walking for a while, Lu Li took the initiative to ask.

Unexpectedly, Richard's expression was a little embarrassed, which made Lu Li look puzzled, and then Richard explained, "I will never admit that I got lost because I was looking for the bathroom."

get lost?Richard is a road jerk?
This possibility caused the corners of Lu Li's mouth to slightly rise, and it was really hard to hold back a smile, but before he could laugh, Richard continued, "Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom right now, my bladder is full. It's going to explode."

Those slightly vulgar words were natural in the surrounding atmosphere, and Richard quietly completed the difficult task of integrating into Texas.

Lu Li suddenly stopped in his tracks, and said solemnly, "If I stay where I am now, what will you do?"

The prank words successfully angered Richard, he shouted urgently and anxiously, "Fourteen!" Then he saw Lu Li laughing heartily, Richard rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then let it go "Then I'll solve it directly at the side, and then pretend to be Rain Man. Others will blame you."

"Rain Man" is a movie in which the male protagonist is a severe autistic patient who often behaves beyond common sense in public regardless of others' sight.As a result, it just confuses the people around him.

Lu Li didn't care. He originally wanted to complain directly, "You can try it." But seeing Richard's impatient expression, he stopped playing pranks and raised his hands to express his surrender. Then he took Richard to find the bathroom—in fact, it was not far from the competition field, but it was not obvious.

After satisfying his physical needs, Richard felt refreshed, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted, "Go!"
