American Ranch

Chapter 119 Apple Party
Early the next morning, Ye Fang's friend came over. The guy yelled that he had run out of fruit wine a few days ago, and asked someone to come back and bring back two barrels.Qin Yi has no objection, so just take it with you. The two barrels of water used to drink for more than two months are already very economical.

He brought out two barrels of wine and helped to load them into the car. Qin Yi went back to the house and took out three bottles of aloe vera essence, and asked Ye Fang's friend to help bring them back to Ye Fang. When he was pulling vegetables, he brought them home for his sister.Qin Yi reckoned that he would use up the ones he brought back earlier.

In the afternoon, Angel came back from school bouncing around. Susa prepared a bottle of fruit wine as a gift, and followed Qin Yi to the Walker Farm.

In the car, Qin Yi and Susa chatted about some topics casually. Angel sat on the children's chair, dangling her calves, her head with two braids dangling, and softly sang the nursery rhymes taught by the kindergarten teacher, with a brisk and joyful voice.

"Uncle Yi," An Qier suddenly stopped singing, looked at Qin Yi with a mysterious expression, and whispered, "The apples from Sister Becky's house are not as good as ours!"

Angel often goes to Becky's house. During this time, the apples are ripening one after another, and the little girl can eat fresh apples every time she goes there. Even Betsy, who lived on the ranch for a while, grew to dislike her own apples.

Fortunately, the two little guys are sensible, and they don’t eat if they don’t like it. There are many fun things at home, they play honestly, and they don’t make noise. I don't feel embarrassed.

In fact, when the three of Fang Yue came to the ranch last time, Walker and Viviera also attended the party. They ate the space apples in the ranch. Acres of apple orchards can earn a lot of income every year. It is possible to replant delicious fruits, and the income will be even greater, but the cost is definitely beyond imagination.

"Of course, our apples are the best!" Qin Yi nodded for granted, then looked at Angel, and said: "However, Angel, you can't say that the apples from Grandpa Walker's house are not delicious in the future, otherwise Grandpa Walker will be very upset. Sad!"

"Yeah, I won't say anything!" Angel nodded, scratched her head again, and asked a little expectantly: "Then, Uncle Yi, can our apples be planted for Grandpa Walker? Teacher Linna said that seeds can change Become a small tree!"

Lina is Angel's kindergarten teacher. She is a lively Caucasian girl. Qin Yi met her once. Lina has some small freckles on her face. They are not ugly, but rather cute.

"Yes, but it will take several years for the small tree to grow apples! If we plant our apples, Grandpa Walker will not be able to make money for several years."

Qin Yi tried his best to dispel the little girl's thoughts. It was not that he was reluctant to give the apple seeds to Walker, but that fruit trees were different from vegetables. The aura contained in the seeds could not support the growth of the apple tree. If there was no spiritual spring water to irrigate, In the end, the fruit that bears may be better in the first year, but after that, it will definitely be no different from ordinary fruit trees because of the exhaustion of aura.

Susa didn't understand Qin Yi's intentions, but she didn't want Angel to make him difficult, so she quickly said, "Yes, Angel, Grandpa Walker can't make money, and sister Becky can't afford to buy toys. When the time comes, let Uncle Yi Buying toys for sister Betsy?"

"Then stop planting!"

When the little girl heard that she asked Qin Yi to buy toys for Becky, she immediately became unhappy. In her heart, Uncle Yi belonged to her alone, and sister Becky couldn't snatch it!

"Grandpa Walker made money to buy toys for Sister Betsy, and Uncle Yi bought them for me. Sister Betsy wants to eat sweet apples, come to our house to eat, there are so many!"

Susa smiled, knowing that the little girl would say that.

When we arrived at the Walker Farm, everyone hadn't arrived yet. Qin Yi and the others deliberately came early so that they could help put some things away.

Becky was helping Viviera to arrange desserts. Although she really wanted to eat, the little girl was very sensible and insisted on eating together when the guests came.At this time, seeing Angel arrived at her home, she greeted her with a grin. After Wei Weila rewarded her with two desserts, the two ran away to play.

After saying hello, Qin Yi looked at the lawn in front of the house, where bundled straw bales were randomly placed. In the middle of the lawn, there was a water tank one meter wide and two meters long, filled with bright red apples. The juicer can be squeezed into fresh apple juice directly after cleaning, which is very convenient.

There are several tables on the lawn with some washed apples, desserts and apple salad. There are no chairs, these bales are chairs, and everyone can sit at will.

Susa helped Viviera to place things, Qin Yi looked around, but did not find Walker.

"Where's Walker?"

"In the barn, there are more bales." Viviera pointed to the barn, and continued to chat with Susa in a low voice.

Qin Yi looked at the barn, but he didn't go close to it, but walked towards a stream that crossed the lawn not far away.This creek is two meters wide, and the water is not deeper than ankles. The bottom of the water is full of small boulders. The water quality is clear and silent, but it can be seen that the water is rushing.The pasture on the bank is not trimmed, which hides the creek, adding a bit of tranquility.

Squat down to test the water temperature, it is very cool, it is late autumn at this time, nothing unexpected, just a pity, if you walk in it with bare feet, it should feel very good.

The Ryan family and Hobbs also came over soon. Everyone helped Walker to pack up. People came one after another, including the principal Matt, the children's teacher Lina, and then the children followed their parents.

The adults gathered together in twos and threes to chat, while the children played together, flying around like butterflies, laughing and joking, making the atmosphere of the party gradually warmer.

Walker took Qin Yi to meet some friends.

Most of them are farmers, and there are parents of children who have a good relationship with Angel and Becky. The most important thing is Marcus, the mayor of Augusta. This middle-aged white man is the farmer of a medium-sized farm and is also elected by the town The mayor is not appointed by the government, so he has no salary and is not under the jurisdiction of the government, but he organizes many things, such as winter hunting, disaster prevention and relief, celebrations and so on.

Everyone wanted to make friends with him, a big rancher, and he also wanted to get along with everyone, so the conversation was very speculative for a while, and it was a happy scene.With Walker as the introducer, Qin Yi greeted everyone who attended the party, and chatted to some extent. The entire Apple Harvest Party almost became Qin Yi's social gathering.

Although Apple is the theme of tonight, it cannot be its one-man show, otherwise everyone will be hungry at night.

For evening gatherings, of course dinner must be prepared.Susa, Susie, and Viviera were busy making apple pies, Walker and Hobbs helped prepare the steaks, Ryan took over from Walker, continued to accompany Qin Yi, and had further conversations with familiar farmers.

The children were tired from playing, and under the leadership of Betsy and Angel, they gathered around the sink and ate while washing. They were also responsible for squeezing the washed apples into apple juice, which would be used as everyone's dinner drink later.

Apple is the protagonist, and everyone will try it, but Walker obviously won't let everyone drink apple juice all night. He also allowed beer and fruit wine. This fruit wine was brewed by Walker himself. Good fruit wine too.

During dinner, Walker pulled Qin Yi aside, called Ryan and Hobbs, and talked about his thoughts: "Yi, it's like this. Every year when the apples are ripe, the farm will hold self-picking apples. This year's most popular tourist destination is Angel Farm, I think so, can tourists from Angel Farm take a day and a half to come to the apple orchard?"

Walker is still a little embarrassed, after all, he is causing trouble to others, but he also has some win-win ideas, "Of course, I can give Angel Farm a reasonable share of the income from self-picking in the apple orchard."

After hearing this, Qin Yi and Hobbs felt that the idea was feasible. The two families were very close to each other, and self-picking apples was indeed attractive, and a day and a half could still be arranged.

"I think this is a good idea, Walker, you should discuss the details with Hobbs." After speaking, leaving time for them, Qin Yi went to chat with everyone.
