Yunding Ranch

Chapter 69: The Technologist

Lu Li didn't panic, but picked up the wool shears and looked at the handful of wool he had just cut.Sure enough, it was still too shallow.

Because I was worried about hurting the sheep, I clearly wanted to go down a little more in my head, but it was inevitable to pull back when I actually started, so there was still a small piece of wool like a short lawn, which was bound to have to be reworked.However, Lu Li knew that he was still not sure about the scale, so it was better not to try the rework job, as he was an amateur after all.

So, Lu Li simply continued to cut down.That sure gesture made Cole and the others startled - Lu Li didn't look at all like a novice shearing sheep for the first time, but more like a butcher trying to slaughter a sheep.

With the experience of the first pruning, the second pruning was obviously easier. Lu Li patted the sheep's belly firmly to make it as comfortable as possible, and then started.Noisy, the sharp blade took away a large piece of wool, revealing the pink belly, which made Lu Li happy, without pausing, he pushed it down in one go, and a large piece of broken hair fell on the side, which looked real A sense of accomplishment.

Then, Lu Li leaned forward slightly, and trimmed upwards along the right side, the thick wool on the inner side of the hind legs fell off in response.

The movement stopped for a while, and then used the left hand to cover the position of the ***, mainly to prevent the wool shears from losing their sense of position, accidentally cutting off or rubbing against them, which may make the sheep jump up directly, and then quickly lower the scissors, Immediately afterwards, without resting, Lu Li shaved off all the wool around him in one go, one after another, concentrating on it.

After shaving all the wool on the inside of the back and stepping, the brain suddenly short-circuited, and he raised his head to ask for help, but he didn't want to see the four of them paused their work and looked at Lu Li in surprise.

Lu Li looked at everyone puzzled, "What's wrong?"

This sentence was like a spell, and the four of them came back to their senses. Jessica nodded and praised, "It seems that you are very quick to learn." Lu Li's composure is indeed rare for a novice who is cramming at the scene. .

"You seem to have a natural sense of technical farm work." Cole also sighed.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "So this is a good thing? Why do I always feel that there is a 'but' behind it." The vivid expression made everyone chuckle again, "I don't remember what to do next, I should switch to What position?"

For veterans, the pruning can be done in one go; but for novices, Randy taught a basic sequence, so that Lu Li can have a more intuitive experience.

"Turn it [-] degrees, and trim the position of the left leg and tail." Randy explained aloud, Lu Li suddenly realized, bowed his head again and started to work.

Surprisingly, apart from the struggle at the beginning, the sheep behind were very well-behaved. Lu Li didn't encounter too many obstacles, and successfully completed his first shearing work.

Standing up straight, Lu Li looked at the uneven fur in front of him, and burst out laughing.Because this sheep looks like it is wearing a patched sheepskin coat, and the dark and light colors are really too avant-garde, and it is estimated that the current fashion cannot be understood.However, the innocent lamb didn't realize it, and walked briskly towards the side, joining the group of partners who had completed their responsibilities.

After seeing the lamb enter the main team, the joy became more obvious. Compared with the other sheep, the sheep that Lu Li had just finished was quite conspicuous.

"Are you sure, this doesn't need to be reworked?" Lu Li felt that his hands were a little lighter. There was always a thin layer of wool on the lamb, and only three or four places were completely shaved.

Randy made a surprised voice, "It's really not easy for beginners. You know, some people look like undulating mountains after shaving, and people even suspect that wool is It wasn't on fire, and then a few pieces burned off, and the rest of it was intact, it's just horrible. But yours doesn't look like anything wrong!"

Lu Li subconsciously looked at Cole and Brandon again. Randy grabbed the bag this time and shouted depressedly, "Hey, Fourteen!" Everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, Jessica also said, "It's really no problem, and there is no need to rework. If the short layer of hair is shaved off, it is easy to be injured; and the pieces are too small and worthless. So, simply Leave it that way and trim it again in September, October."

"It seems that my job is not bad." Lu Li nodded in satisfaction, and after he recovered, he realized that his back was really sore.

In fact, he was standing all the way to trim the wool, and then put the sheep on the ground, adjusted the position of the sheep according to changing his center of gravity, and then finished the trimming with wool shears.I didn't notice it when I went to work, but now I can feel the soreness in my waist.Sure enough, real ranch work isn't that easy.

What's more, Cole and the others can finish trimming a sheep in about 3 minutes on average; it took Lu Li a full 15 minutes, which is not on the same level at all.

After wiping the sweat off his brow, Lu Li continued to work. The second and third sheep were still horrible. When one reached the fourth sheep, Lu Li finally found his hand and successfully completed the real sheep shearing work.However, during the trimming process, the shearing angle was wrong, and three wounds were drawn on the lamb. Fortunately, none of the wounds were too obvious, and there was no serious problem. The lamb's reaction was not violent, and did not affect the subsequent shearing. Wool finishing.

Suddenly, there was a pull on the trousers. Lu Li looked back, and saw Yuzu biting his trousers, pulling it back continuously.Lu Li didn't know, so he looked around and saw neither Teddy nor grapes. Lu Li tried to pat Yuzu's head to comfort him, but Yuzu refused to let go.

So, Lu Li simply greeted everyone, "I'm going to take a rest, you continue to work hard." Then, following Yuzu's guidance, he walked towards the main house.

Only then did Yuzi loosen her trousers, and trot excitedly in front of her, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, the speed was really too fast.

Lu Li followed behind and walked to the main house unhurriedly. Then he saw Yuzu was beating on the door and got the screen door. After opening the door for him, Yuzu disappeared into the house again. Look, I didn't find the figure in a daze.

Lu Li went to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, and then calmly took the teacup and the kettle to the porch, sat down in the old man's chair, and after his muscles relaxed, he let out a breath involuntarily.Although I only worked for less than two hours, it is undeniable that I was sweating from the long-lost physical labor. While I was tired, I also felt an unspeakable sense of fulfillment.

After drinking a cup of Tieguanyin and shaking the old man's chair, it seemed as if I could hear the sound of galloping blood slowing down bit by bit, and the breeze was blowing slowly, making me feel sleepy.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo", there was another burst of backlash from the bottom of my feet, and I sat up straight and saw that the pomelo had come back again, with a fluorescent yellow tennis ball in its mouth.

Lu Li immediately realized that Yuzu was going to play catch.After taking the tennis ball out of Yuzu's mouth, Lu Li was puzzled, "Do shepherd dogs also like toss and catch?" He knew very little about animals, but he had heard that certain breeds of dogs were very fond of tossing. Pick up game, but some breeds have no interest at all.Only, he wasn't sure if the collie liked it.

However, neither Teddy nor Grape asked for it. I guess grapefruit is an alternative.

"Grapefruit!" Lu Li threw the tennis ball high, and the tennis ball drew a high parabola under the golden sunlight, and then he saw the grapefruit rushing out like an arrow from the string. In the blink of an eye, he He accurately positioned the tennis ball, biting the booty and ran back quickly.

Since he came back so fast, Lu Li was a little caught off guard, Yuzu raised his head and looked at him eagerly, the longing look in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.Lu Li couldn't help but laugh, "In the past, how did you hold back? Or did Teddy order you not to play catch?"

Taking the tennis ball from Yuzu's mouth, Lu Li used all his strength this time and threw it far away.Yuzu ran away without any hesitation.

Lu Li couldn't help being curious about whether the grapefruit could be found. He took a sip from his teacup, feeling the bitter taste slowly fainting on the tip of his tongue.After hard work, the mouth is dry, and the feeling is especially obvious when drinking Tieguanyin, and then the sweetness surges, and people can't help but let out a soft sigh of happiness.

In the distance, you can vaguely see Yuzu running back, but only halfway through, a group of uninvited guests came over.It was the flock of sheep that had finished shaving. Without control, they wandered lazily in the air. Their bald figures looked a little lonely, looking for grass bored.

Then Lu Li saw his masterpiece, the first sheep is always the most conspicuous, the deep and shallow patches can't be ignored.Yuzu seemed to have seen this alien too, and couldn't help but yelled twice, which startled the little guy and jumped two steps to the side, causing Lu Li to almost spit out his tea.

Yuzu ran around the little guy twice, and finally confirmed that he was not an alien, just a poor little guy, and then ran back towards the main house again. The bright fluorescent yellow is so bright that you can see it at a glance arrive.

Yuzu put the tennis ball at Lu Li's feet, stuck out her tongue, looked up at Lu Li, as if saying, "Praise me, praise me."

Lu Li couldn't help rubbing Yuzu's petite head, "Good boy, good boy, who is the good boy here?" Yuzu closed her eyes, showing a satisfied expression, and couldn't help moaning.

"Wow, woof." At some point, Teddy and Putao also ran over, running wildly among the sheep.Lu Li slowly leaned against the back of the chair, shaking the old man's chair flickeringly, his eyelids drooping involuntarily.
