Yunding Ranch

Chapter 468 Brussels
"Fourteen, fourteen? Wake up, the plane is about to land! Fourteen? Yoho, fourteen..." There was an extremely noisy voice in my ear, as if a thousand crows were yelling in my ear at the same time. No, he pulled Lu Li out of his drowsy sleep.

Pulling off the blindfold, he opened his eyes in a daze, and then couldn't help but close them again—the huge face that was close at hand, in a super-magnified version, passed through the barrier of the partition, and bloomed right above him , like / chrysanthemum / flower, if not mentally prepared, he would probably be scared to death, but even if he was mentally prepared, Lu Li still closed his eyes reflexively.

Such a picture is really too visually impactful to make people bear to look directly at it.Lu Li raised his hands to cover his face, and he couldn't help complaining, "I'm not interested in studying your pores. If it wasn't for the witch casting a spell, you'd better stay away, the drool will be left behind."

Faced with Lu Li's full-on rant, the person in front of him was already invulnerable. After all, he had learned a lot from getting along in Olive Garden.He ignored it directly, and patted Lu Li's shoulder hard, "You have been asleep for so long, and the last meal will be delivered soon, you definitely don't want to miss it."

"Didn't you just say that you're about to land right now? Now it's the last meal?" Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly. He felt a little regretful, so why did he just nod and agree to Fred's request?This seems like a bad decision.

After Lu Li and his family went back, Fred did not leave in a hurry, but stopped at Yunding Ranch.He had been running around for more than half a year, wandering, eating and sleeping, and now he finally stopped. Naturally, he planned to enjoy the leisure and comfort of the holiday, so he became a "coolie" again at Yunding Ranch.

The ranch has been really busy recently. The organic farm has started plowing and sowing. The stables are in a commotion due to the arrival of the season. The vineyards have also begun to enter the new season of sowing one after another. Even the Leilan sheep are harvesting wool again. ... There is not enough manpower, but it is always good to have more hands.

Fred easily entered the "brand new" role and became a strong supporter of Yunding Ranch.

Just when the ranch was at its busiest, Lu Li and Tony had to leave because the Brussels Wine Competition was about to start, and the wines from Yunding Winery successfully completed the registration, screening and preliminary appraisal, and entered the official stage of the competition.Lu Li and Tony had to go to Brussels to participate in the competition.

Not only for the competition itself, the competition requires the winery to send representatives; but also for the management of contacts, this is the first time that Yunding Winery has appeared on the stage, and it will be the world stage as soon as it comes up. Whether it is a blockbuster or a flash, success or failure That's it.

Fortunately, Yunding Ranch has a group of extremely capable cowboys and a group of friends who are always ready to help. Even without Lu Li and Tony, the ranch can still operate normally.

After learning about Lu Li's itinerary, Fred couldn't wait to express his expectation, and he also hoped to go with him.For him, Europe is still an unknown continent. After leaving Alaska, it is really suitable for Europe to be the next stop for exploration.Fred can once again set foot on the itinerary, playing and exploring at the same time.

If everything goes well, Fred will continue to stay in Europe after the trip to Brussels to explore this continent; but if the inspiration is not enough, then Fred will return to the United States with Lu Li again, and he can continue his vacation , or continue your journey.

Thus, Fred joined Lu Li and Tony, left the North American continent, and flew to the Europa continent.But now, Lu Li began to regret it.

Looking at the sleepy Lu Li in front of him, Fred scratched his head and laughed twice.He also thought that Lu Li didn't hear his own words clearly in his sleep just now, and he didn't expect that he was directly exposed.However, Fred didn't care about such embarrassment. He waved his hand, as if waving away a fly, and said excitedly, "I'm right, there are still two hours to land, indeed It’s very fast.” After finishing speaking, he added, “Compared to our entire itinerary.”

"I have no way to refute this sentence." Lu Li rubbed his eyes and smiled involuntarily.

It's been an incredibly long journey.

Flying from Austin to New York, and then from New York to Brussels, the whole itinerary not only crosses the entire North American continent, but also crosses the Atlantic Ocean. The flight time of more than [-] hours before and after is really boring.

Fortunately, the group of them purchased the first-class cabin, so they could lie flat and sleep, otherwise the trip would be even more torturous.But even so, sleeping was not very stable. It was really frustrating to wake up from sleep and wake up, only to find that you were still on the plane.

Now Fred finally understood deeply why although human beings have the dream of flying, they still have to return to the land after all.Down-to-earth, open sea and sky, that kind of feeling is different after all, which can also be understood as human beings' rejection of restraint and yearning for freedom.

After Fred's interruption, Lu Li was almost awake. He sat up straight, straightened the back of the chair, stretched a lot, and crossed the privacy partition, and then saw Tony lift up. With the whiskey in his hand, he stared at a chicken coop, his face full of lovelessness.It seemed that Fred had woken Tony up before him.

"Whiskey?" Lu Li looked at the amber liquid. He didn't check the time, and he didn't know which time zone they were in, but he chose whiskey just after waking up. Isn't that too strong?
Tony raised his head and glanced at Lu Li, "It's not too difficult to choose between soda water and whiskey."

Lu Li shrugged, "I can't think about it right now, high altitude pressure, or jet lag pressure. But this means that whiskey is indeed the right choice." This teasing remark made Tony and Fred laugh sullenly. .

"Fourteen, fourteen, tell me, what kind of city is Brussels?" Fred's itinerary covered more than half of the United States, and even extended to Canada, but he never left the North American continent and arrived in Europe for the first time. , inevitably some excitement and excitement.

The United States is an immigrant country. Its founding time is very short. Its culture and history are inherited from Europe, and then it forms its own characteristics and models, and gradually develops its own culture.Of course, this kind of culture lacks foundation and precipitation, and is more like a modern extension that opens its mind to accept countless possibilities.Now, it is finally possible to come to Europe, the birthplace of many arts and cultures. For Fred who studies art, it is naturally indescribable.

"I wouldn't say it's a unique city, but I wouldn't say it's a mediocre city." Lu Li also felt his stomach growling, and began to look forward to the upcoming meal, "It's called The capital of Europe, but the capital, you know, Washington is not New York after all. But this is the most interesting place in Europe, every city has its own history, its own culture, its own characteristics, small towns are like this, cities are This is true, and so is the capital. The key is, can you find it?"

Hearing Lu Li's meaningful words, Fred smiled, and then gave Lu Li a heavy shoulder, "I'm afraid that others don't know that you are a journalism major? The words of the explanation are so convoluted, Going round and round, I'm going to faint." The complaining teasing made Tony chuckle, and Lu Li had no choice but to say, "But, I understand what you mean, and I will enjoy this city to the fullest."

"Sir." There was a voice calling from behind, it was a flight attendant, and the meal was about to be delivered.Fred quickly said hello, and quickly returned to his seat to avoid occupying the space in the aisle.Of course, Lu Li thought that Fred couldn't wait to eat. He seemed to hear the sound of Fred's stomach just now.

Lu Li packed up the quilt, lifted the light blocking board next to him, and saw the thin clouds stagnating like smoke on the bottomless lake, the thick and deep azure blue, boundless, and occasionally a piece of it could be seen. Dotted with off-white sand and gravel, the unknown islands are scattered scattered in the vast sea, calmly like a lake in Yunding Ranch.

Faintly, it seems that a large tract of land can be seen.Logically speaking, it should be the British Isles, but Lu Li expressed strong doubts. He has lost the sense of direction due to long sleep and long flight. He should take a look at the navigation chart to confirm their location. Otherwise, with so many islands scattered across the Atlantic Ocean, if any one is identified as England, the British will definitely disagree.

Two hours was longer than expected, mainly because it had been flying for too long before. After watching a movie, I realized that there were still nearly 10 minutes left.After going to Europe, Lu Li decided to rest and adjust in New York for a few days, otherwise, this vigorous flight would be too tormenting.

Recall carefully, the last time they came to Paris, they flew all the way, how did they persevere?

After a bumpy taxi, the plane finally landed, which made people let out a long breath.After landing, the first-class passengers left the cabin first, which made Lu Li let out a long breath, and his feet on the ground couldn't help but float.Fred was even more like a lunatic, running back and forth in the aisle a few times, and he didn't calm down until his feet got used to it completely.

"So, this is Brussels?" Fred stood by the passage, looked out through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and then nodded to himself, "At least it is certain that this sky is nothing compared to Alaska." No less. It’s just that the ones in Alaska are clearer and the ones here are more mellow. I’ve grown to like it.”
