Chapter 2733 Waiting
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the green grassland stretches to the horizon and the end of the sight. Groups of humped cattle are scattered among them, leisurely looking for food everywhere. When the tail is swung, the birds on their backs remain motionless, but when the eagle in the sky begins to swoop, the flocks of birds flee in panic.
Feng Yiping sat on the log table in the yard, holding a handful of grass in his hand, teasing two alpacas washed white. There were two rows of tall purple jacaranda trees beside the yard, and the branches full of purple flowers were stacked layer by layer. When a gust of wind blew, the purple petals brushed the hair ends and fell to the ground in twos and threes, and the ground was already covered with a shallow layer.
On the other side, the dark-skinned cowboy was turning the grill. On the grill, a kangaroo had been roasted golden and it looked like it was about to be done.
In the distance, several horses arrogantly rushed past the cattle, and quickly approached the courtyard with a burst of happy and strange cries. When the horses' hooves stepped on the petals on the ground, the surrounding riders pulled the reins. Only the petite knight in the lead still galloped towards Feng Yiping at high speed, passing by him with a gust of wind, and shed a string of arrogant and complacent laughter.
Feng Yiping hugged an alpaca and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't shoot, we won't argue with her,"
"Haha," Zhang Yan, who was wearing a cowboy hat, a vest, a wide belt around his waist, a leather sheath outside his jeans, and spurs on his cowboy boots, dressed in a very authentic western cowboy style, waved a whip and laughed as he walked over, "How about it, handsome!"
Feng Yiping looked at her, "Quite rough,"
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes, "I know you are jealous," she waved the whip, "How about we have another game?"
"Compete with you," Feng Yiping shook his head and said disdainfully, "Unfair victory,"
"Tsk!" Zhang Yan's mouth corners tilted to the sky, "Then you win a game,"
"I was letting you go, it was a gentlemanly demeanor," Feng Yiping said with his head down.
This is really unspeakable pain.
I failed to keep my promise to Zhang Yan to go to the grassland in May, so he brought her to Australia in September.
When our country entered autumn, it was spring with flowers blooming here. When it was still in the sky, the vast Anna Creek Ranch immediately attracted Zhang Yan.
At first, Feng Yiping took her to race on the grassland. Later, in order to show his ability in all aspects, he showed off his riding skills in front of her, which greatly aroused Zhang Yan's interest.
After that, under the guidance of several female employees of the ranch, in less than a week, he quickly surpassed Feng Yiping, who was a mediocre rider. In fact, the riding skills that Feng Yiping showed off before were all his riding skills.
This made Zhang Yan very proud. I don’t know if this is a foreign country, and it is so sparsely populated, so that Zhang Yan’s temperament changed drastically. Not only did he always like to take a few people to ride horses on the grassland, but he also always liked to show off in front of Feng Yiping.
Feng Yiping was really depressed. How could he know that Zhang Yan, who only liked to watch volleyball and badminton in sports games and had no athletic talent, would have such an unreasonable ability in this regard?
With some doubts, he even asked someone to check the county annals of Zhang Yan's county. As a result, it turned out that during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, there were Hu people herding horses in Zhang Yan's county.
This seems to explain why her hair is always a little yellow, and why she is so good at riding horses, just like a genetic mutation.
He can only laugh at himself for being a pure Han Chinese.
"Yes, a gentleman who can only ride a horse and walk, hehe," Zhang Yan laughed, and saw the barbecue grill over there, and threw her hat to Feng Yiping with a swirl, and she ran over there, "Wow, is it grilled?"
Feng Yiping caught the hat, so it is said that the environment changes people, or that the right environment can make a person reveal his true nature.
Judging from Zhang Yan's performance in the past few days, it is not a lie that she was better at climbing trees than boys of the same age in the village when she was a child.
It was the times and environment that limited her, making her a seemingly weak girl. If she was born in other times, maybe she would be a woman who eats a lot of meat and drinks a lot and leashes horses.
"Yes, Zhang, you're back just in time," said Ethan, who was good at grilling meat.
At this time, the chefs also came out with large plates, and one of them raised the large plate in his hand, "Zhang, what do you think this is?"
This round-looking uncle with a kind smile was actually a famous chef specially invited.
"Wow, crocodile, is there really crocodile meat? The legendary crocodile meat?" Zhang Yan exclaimed in surprise.
On the large plate, on the green lettuce, there were slices of meat that looked very solid, with green coriander sprinkled in the middle and a circle of cherry tomatoes dotted on the side. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the thing standing on the side.
It was a section of the crocodile's long snout with sharp teeth.
"Yes, Zhang, it was just delivered today," said the famous chef Darcy with a smile.
It seemed that these guys were more polite to Zhang Yan than to Feng Yiping, because they could see the relationship between the two of them.
"I have to try this," Zhang Yan stretched out her hand.
"Hey, wash your hands first," Feng Yiping opened her hand.
"That's long-winded," Zhang Yan muttered, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Darcy, where's the crocodile's skin?"
Feng Yiping was speechless. Do you want to make a pair of shoes or a bag, or a drum?
…………
Lunch is similar to Zhang Yan's current style, which looks rough but is actually delicate.
Shrimp with shells on the tail, freshly opened oysters, pan-fried lungfish fillet, crispy vegetable rolls, yellow and green pumpkin pie, a large pot of corn chicken soup...
As for the staple food, it is to stuff roasted kangaroo meat into the hollow pita bread - Feng Yiping also asked if koalas can be eaten, and everyone said righteously that Australians don't eat koalas.
But after careful thinking, Feng Yiping believes that the truth is not that Australians don't eat koalas, but that koalas are not delicious.
"Delicious," Zhang Yan first forked a piece of crocodile meat.
Feng Yiping sincerely thinks that it is just so-so, including kangaroo meat, but in such a place, you have to eat something special.
"Let's have a toast?" He picked up the glass, which contained crystal clear rum.
Zhang Yan glanced at him, "A man who persuades a girl to drink is not a good man,"
"Aren't you a cowboy?" Feng Yiping said.
But how could Zhang Yan, who had always been in the upper hand, give Feng Yiping the opportunity to suppress her like this?
"I'm a cowboy who doesn't drink, is that not okay?"
"You're a cowboy who talks tough," Feng Yiping laughed.
As usual, although this meal took a long time, by the end, Zhang Yan had eaten up almost all the dishes carefully prepared by the chefs. Feng Yiping thought that this should be the reason why the chefs liked Zhang Yan.
When they were satisfied with cleaning the table, the two of them sat on the chairs after having a good meal and a full meal, and they didn't want to move. "It's great to have a ranch of my own!" Zhang Yan said.
"This is not my ranch, it's just a ranch in which I have a stake," Feng Yiping said.
Zhang Yan looked around, "It's the same as your own."
It was true. Knowing that he was going to vacation, the ranch had thoughtfully vacated the best manor and equipped it with the top service team. In addition, there was no one within a radius of dozens of miles, so they could have fun as they wanted.
"If you like, come often," Feng Yiping said, looking at Zhang Yan looking at the stable over there.
Indeed, it is really difficult to be so self-centered in China.
The more beautiful the grasslands in China, the more tourists there are.
Zhang Yan did not respond to his words, "In the blink of an eye, it's almost ten days,"
She knew that this vacation was about to end.
"When are you going to the United States?"
"I have to wait a few days," Feng Yiping said.
He knew what would happen next, and he thought it would be better to stay outside the United States and wait until those things happened before going back.
"I'm going back," Zhang Yan said with his head down.
"It doesn't matter, come whenever you want in the future, and don't forget to be in the northwest,"
"What's going on over there?" Zhang Yan raised his head.
"According to your idea, I have already started the desert greening project over there. I think in a few years, we will have our own grassland over there,"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true,"
The local government strongly supports Feng Yiping's idea. For this purpose, they have actually obtained a large piece of grassland.
Feng Yiping believes that even if the grassland is allowed to rest for two years, it will definitely be enough for Zhang Yan to go riding and have fun.
"I'm waiting for that day,"
