Alpine pasture

Chapter 80 Camping ([-])

Ju An and Wang Fan, riding two horses, carrying snowflakes, Wu Song, of course Hutou and Suantou, followed Taylor and Anderson, and Kerry headed for the mountain. In addition to the horse, there were also four mules. Ju An saw that except for the two of them who were carrying a tent, the rest of the horses were all tied with sleeping bags. The four mules were seven or eight. Tin box, as well as two pots, two small gas bags.

Wang Fan looked at the mules in front of him, and said to Ju An, "Don't they have a lot of quarts in their pastures? If there are not enough quarts, there are tame wild horses, why are they still bringing mules, what a loss, look. , and one of them is still a flower!".

Ju An looked at the first few mules a little bit, but when he urged the bean grass, the bean grass immediately ran a few steps, followed Kerry who was behind the mules, and said to Kerry, "Why don't you bring all the horses? He also brought four mules, and these mules don't have a good use of Quart."

Kerry looked at the mules that were carrying things, and explained to Ju An: "Quart is better than a mule on the grass and plain, but it's not as good as a mule for climbing a mountain, and a mule on the mountain road is better. It is more stable and more calm in character. Thank you for the pasture mules. When we prepare our guests to go camping, we will replace them with safer mules. My father-in-law is going to buy a few mules after preparing for this expedition. ".

Upon hearing this, Ju An waved his hand and said, "When the guests come, don't let them ride a mule."

Kerry took the reins in his hands and said, "Why, mules are safer and more stable to climb mountains, and more comfortable than horses."

Scratching his head, Ju An thought for a while and explained to Kerry: "Guests from China generally don't like to ride a mule, because the price of a mule on a ride is not directly related to whether it is good or not. The guests are very happy, and maybe they don’t want to tell others when they go back to China on a mule. If someone asks, they will definitely not want to say, I went to the United States to ride a mule, and it won’t make people laugh out loud.” Seeing Kerry's dazed look, Ju An continued to explain: "It's a matter of habit, just like you Americans like cheese very much, but the Chinese don't like it very much. They like to eat preserved eggs. Americans think preserved eggs are terrible. It's disgusting, and it doesn't have much to do with whether it works well or not."

Kerry listened in confusion, and then said: "Strange Chinese guests, I know I will tell my father-in-law later, the guest is God, and the guest is our satisfaction."After Kerry finished speaking, he knocked off his horse and ran to the front of the team.

Ju An brought the reins, and Dou Cao stopped a few steps, waiting for Wang Fan to follow.

Wang Fan urged Ma and Ju An to walk side by side: "How is it, what is the reason?"

Ju An replied: "They think it's almost the same. The mule mountain is good. Taylor and the others want to buy a few mules. I told Kerry, and now he's going to tell Taylor."

"I said how to transport things with mules. They don't understand. I inspected the domestic horse farms. Where are mules used, Mongolian horses are better than quarts, and foreign horses such as Arabia are one or two grades." Wang Fan said with a smile.

Ju An listened and nodded: "There are not many domestic horses that are tall. Mongolian horses are only about 1.3 meters tall, and foreign horses are basically 1.6 meters tall. They look a lot worse, but Mongolian horses There are also advantages, one of the best war horses, tough and brave, good endurance, and resistant to rough feeding, not easy to drop the mark, and less likely to be frightened than these Quater Arabian, if the Mongols can hit Europe? ".

Wang Fan laughed and joked: "The key point is that now whoever still uses horses to fight, they are all riding and playing. It looks like this. The advantages of foreign horses in this regard are too obvious."

Ju An said: "That is, many horse farms in China are now cultivating their own horse breeds."

"Actually, after the tour, when I went to the private horse farms in the country, the difference was not small. When the horses came out of some domestic horse farms, they were all dirty. I saw two of them here. A family ranch means a family with at most one or two helpers, and the horses come out with shiny and clean hair," Wang Fan said with emotion.

Ju An said with a smile: "Then you have to pay attention to these things when you run a racecourse, don't make a mess at that time."

Wang Fan followed up: "No, this time I'm going to hire two ranches to raise horses, and Jason will go to China for ten days to help formulate a set of guidelines, just to take care of the horses in my farm. It's clean, and the guests will have fun at that time."

Ju An gave a thumbs up and boasted: "You have a business acumen, this is really a big boss. I have also been to domestic horse farms to play, so I didn't think of improving these things."It made Wang Fan a little proud.

After a while, Kerry urged Ma Duo to come along with Ju An Wang Fan, and said to the two with a smile, "I mentioned it to them, and they all understand. According to the client's wishes, this time Go back and buy two mules to transport things."

When the horse team passed through the pasture of Ju'an, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. In front of them were huge lush cedars and pine trees, which were not the same as those in China. There were very few shrubs with a height of half a person that are common in China. , or basically nothing, just grass, stones and big trees, and horses can easily walk among them.

Walking through a large forest, listening to the crisp birdsong everywhere, watching the hares that pop up from time to time, and the deer grazing leisurely, Wang Fan said to Ju An with emotion: "You said that when Laomei was modernizing, why didn't there be any? Cut down these big trees, the big trees along the way, we see basically two or three big guys hugging each other, this one is going to be sold for a lot of money."

Ju An said with a smile: "When the United States was modernizing, how many people did they have? The population was much smaller than that in China, and the land was about the same size, but the area of ​​arable land was much larger than that in our country. Do they need to cut down trees and sell them for money?"

When I got out of this big forest, I reached the top of a small hill. The trees were not so tall. They were basically big and thick trees. The sight suddenly opened up. Looking around, the eyes were full of emerald green color, warm and warm. The sun shines on the body, making people feel comfortable and a little lazy.

Urging the horse to continue to follow behind the horse team, suddenly Wang Fan pointed to a big tree not far away and said to Ju An, "Look at An Zi, that tree is full of broken shoes."

Looking in the direction of Wang Fan's finger, as expected, there are many pairs of shoes hanging on a tree, not some fruit that look like shoes, but real shoes, hanging on the branches, all of them look like shoes. , like a lot of shoe fruit on the tree.

Ju An asked Kerry next to him curiously: "Why are there so many shoes on that tree, what do you mean, it looks very interesting".

Kerry glanced at it and explained with a smile: "Many people go hunting in the mountains, bring a pair of worn shoes to hang on the tree, pray for good luck, and it hangs like this over time, but it's nothing special. I mean, after seeing this, after walking for a while, we arrived at the resting place, everyone can stop and rest." After saying that, he urged the horse to walk towards the front of the team.

Wang Fan watched Kerry walk forward, smiled and said to Ju An in Chinese: "I said why Laomei didn't say broken shoes. It turns out that the way they deal with broken shoes is to hang them on trees."

Ju An shook his head with a smile, but he knew what the broken shoes meant, so he said: "Lao Mei doesn't pay much attention to what is everywhere. Last time I saw an article, a female college student in Nevada wanted to The first time I sold myself, I called for a price online, and finally got more than 1 US dollars. The news was published in the newspaper. When interviewed, many young people were surprised that there were still people who bought this, and they expressed their incomprehension, saying that the people who bought it Enough support".

Wang Fan said: "Come on, we haven't caught up yet, we haven't prepared what to do, and we're in the game."

Spreading his hands, Ju An said helplessly: "I'm sorry, the only legal state in the United States is Nevada, so people don't have any concerns about selling it, it's legal to operate."

Wang Fan asked, "Did you already know?"

"No, it's been a month since I came here." Ju An replied with a smile.

Wang Fan smiled and said, "Do you regret not buying the ranch in Nevada?"

Ju An said with a smile: "Fuck your uncle!".

After walking for a few minutes, they came to a creek, and Taylor beckoned everyone to get off the horse to rest, and took off the saddle and other harnesses from the horse. It looks like the treatment is bad.

At this time, Kerry came over, smiled and said to Ju An and Wang Fan, "Would you like to go to a mountain spring, the water here is very good."Ju An and Wang Fan glanced at each other, nodded one after another, and followed Kerry for a few minutes.

After a 2-minute walk from the resting place, the three of them walked to a small pond, where the clear stream converged to form a small pond of about ten meters. The pond was surrounded by large gray rocks, and the smallest one was the size of a millstone. The soles of Ju An and Wang Fan's feet are two or three meters in diameter, like a giant enlarged version of domestic pebbles. The whole pond is crystal clear, and even the small stones at the bottom of the water can be seen clearly. The pond was clear enough, but nothing compared to this little pond, and the water, phosphorescent, was beautiful.

Wang Fan took off his shoes, stretched his feet to try it in the water, and said, "Damn, it's really cool, you can see the little fish inside clearly, I really don't know how to describe it."

When Ju An reached the stone, he took off his shoes and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get into the water."
