Yunding Ranch

Chapter 105
Randy is picking up the leftovers from the organic farm, Brandon is re-draining the drainage channels in the cattle pen, Cole is repairing the roof of the sheep pen, and Jessica is in charge of today's farm work-feeding the animals, cleaning the fence, etc. wait.

When Lu Li came back from his walk, the ranch was being tidied up in an orderly manner, and then he found that Fred had already returned and was busy with Jessica, so he didn't even have time to talk to Lu Li.

"Kele, is everything okay?" Lu Li raised his voice and shouted. Cole, who was standing on the roof of the sheep pen, turned his head and made an "OK" gesture, and things went very smoothly, "That's good, see Come on, I'm useless." Lu Li said with a smile.

"I need a little help." Vivienne's voice came from behind, and then Lu Li saw Vivienne holding a design blueprint in her hand, and walked over with a cheerful face, "I made the design blueprint last night. The drawings are drawn, the design of the villa is not finished yet, but we can start with the main house.”

"You mean, start from the warehouse?" Lu Li stood in place, greeted Vivienne with a smile, and after getting Vivienne's affirmative answer, "But have you ever thought that after the denim dormitory is demolished, you Where do you want to sleep? And your friends?"

Vivienne's smile couldn't help but froze on her lips, and she froze, "...I... haven't considered this issue."

This is embarrassing.Lu Li laughed loudly, "The shortcoming of typical fresh graduates is that they lack practical considerations."

Vivienne's face darkened immediately, and she argued, "Practicality is fine, it's just that the order of putting them into practical use is a little bit off."

"We can start with the villa first. After the villa is completed, we can renovate the main house. Do it step by step. Don't worry." Lu Li also thought about this issue last night. The renovation is imperative, but he still has to consider the daily Life, "We have enough time, not to mention, planting beech forest is also a long-term work." In order not to destroy the original natural environment of the pasture, in order to ensure the original flavor of the pasture, the transformation should not be rushed.

"This is an option." Vivian shrugged, "Then... I will start designing the villa after lunch." Thinking of three villas with the same style but with different details, Vivian became excited again, " Now let me introduce to you the renovation project of the main house and warehouse here, I try to keep the original style as much as possible..."

Lu Li stood beside Vivienne, watching her point out Jiangshan.

The adjustment of the main house and the warehouse is indeed not big. It is mainly about practicality and makes full use of the space. It looks simple and natural, but it has a special flavor.As a layman, Lu Li couldn't tell why, but he felt that this design was excellent. "I like the idea."

"Plant a big tree? Or a swing?" Vivian asked.

"The whole." Lu Li circled the piece, "The whole."

Now that the organic farm is up and running, the vegetable patch next to the main house is useless.Vivienne plans to turn this vegetable field into a part of the garden, plant a low wall of lilac trees, and then plant a big tree in the corner and set up a swing.This is literally the dream home.

Lu Li's favorite is the banyan tree, not only because the banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, it seems to cover the whole world. In summer, sitting under the shade of the tree, setting up a hanging net bed, taking a nap under the trivial sunlight, is a wonderful day It really couldn't be more comfortable; also because the banyan tree is an evergreen tree all year round, even in the lonely winter, it is still green.

It's just that I don't know if the soil here in Dezhou is suitable for planting banyan trees, and real old banyan trees may not be available for money.

"Haha, this reconfirms that you are a guy who understands and enjoys life." Vivienne said "I've seen through you", "But I like it. The design of the villa is in my mind now, believe me, You're sure to like it."

Vivienne returned to the room impatiently and began to design the blueprint of the villa.However, not long after she entered, she came out again. She moved a small table and chair to the porch, then moved the computer out, and then took two bags of potato chips and a cup of coffee...

Noticing the surprised look in Lu Li's eyes, Vivian shrugged slightly, "I'm on vacation now, even if I'm working, at least let me enjoy such a beautiful scenery. After I go back to Boston, I won't be able to see these things."

"I thought Boston was always your favorite city." Lu Li joked, the subtext was: Do you think it's better here now?

Vivienne picked up a bag of potato chips, raised her hand in surrender, with a "refused to comment" expression, such a simple action made Lu Li burst out laughing.

Leaving space for Vivian to work hard, Lu Li returned to the sheep pen, and Cole had already walked down, "It's over?"

"It's all over." Cole began to pack up the remaining tools, "There will be no problems in the future."

"There was no problem last night." Lu Li patted Cole on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Vivienne is currently drawing up the drawings for the renovation of the ranch, and the construction will start soon. Do you know where to find construction work?" Team? Or, just call the construction company directly?"

Lu Li was completely unfamiliar with this area. He had no idea what New York was like, and what Texas was like. He hadn't even touched on this area during his internship as a reporter.

"Uh... We haven't broken ground here for a long time, and I don't know too well." Cole thought about it seriously.

"I saw it like this in the movie. The contractor went to the Mexican gathering place, nodded his head, and then formed a construction team. The team members were different every day..."

Lu Li tried his best to describe the memory in his mind, which made Cole laugh out loud, shaking his head repeatedly in denial, "No, no, it doesn't work like this."

"No?" Lu Li looked sad.

"No." Cole chuckled, "We have our own construction team here, and we also have our own construction company. When you go to the town..." Cole denied his words before he finished speaking, "Yes Now, you might as well ask Sean directly, he is more familiar with this aspect."

"Sean?" Lu Li was a little surprised, "I thought he was just a professional cattle rancher." The sale of wool was introduced by Sean, and without any twists and turns, Lu Li won the first position in the ranch very smoothly. official income.

"He is." Cole nodded indiscriminately, turning his hands over, expressing indistinctness with his body movements, "but he has a lot of connections, maybe he can't help, but there is no problem in providing information, maybe it's saved A lot of trouble, you know..." Cole's meaningful eyes fell on Lu Li.

Lu Li spread his hands and rolled his eyes helplessly, "I know, I'm a foreigner, I'm a foreigner."

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Cole also joked.

"My arms are open to you." Lu Li really opened his hands, which made Cole dumbfounded, "Haha. Don't talk about it, then I will go to talk to Sean now, and then talk to the construction team. I want to come here and communicate with Vivienne." Vivienne is also in a state of desperation for her graduation project, and it is impossible to stay in the ranch for too long, so hurry up.

"What? Now?" Cole said in surprise. Just when Lu Li thought something was going on at the ranch, Cole continued, "What about the buns? Didn't we say yes, the buns are made today?"

A group of foodies.

"Baozi can wait until the afternoon." Lu Li ignored Cole, turned around and left, and Cole's unwilling voice came from behind, "Then come back early, I'll wait for you."

Lu Li walked towards his bird of prey without hesitation, got in the car, and listened to the roaring sound of the engine, it was indeed different from the wild horse.

After the moving dinner, Lu Li and Jessica went to Sean's ranch once - escorted a batch of steamed stuffed buns to express their gratitude.It's really a wonderful thing, isn't it?Steamed bun diplomacy, another way.

Lu Li followed the memory path and successfully found Xiao En's ranch. His ranch was bigger than Yundian Ranch. The entire ranch was raising cattle. It was one of the largest cattle ranches near the town.He has signed cooperation agreements with several large local supermarkets in Texas to deliver fresh beef on a regular basis, and the business is booming.

Hearing the sound of birds of prey, Sean rode out for a stroll. He was divorced a few years ago. His children were all in school in Austin, and they lived with their mother, who only came back every other weekend, so he Right now it's all alone - and the cowboys, of course.

Sean rode over slowly, "Every time I see this big guy, I still can't help but marvel, what a good boy." Sean patted the hood of the Raptor, "Driving he is Walking around here is really eye-catching.”

"Don't covet my child." Lu Li patted the driver's door, as if to drive away the intruder.

Sean laughed, "You look a bit like a Texas cowboy now." Lu Li nodded his cowboy hat and thanked him like a cowboy. Sean nodded, looking very satisfied. "What's the matter with coming here today? Baozi?" Sean raised his voice and asked directly, "It just so happens that the buns from last time have already been eaten. If you don't come over, I'm thinking about going to see you again sometime."

"Do I look like I run a steamed stuffed bun shop?" Lu Li joked and retorted directly, Xiao En spread his hands, and a look of "You are" made Lu Li almost choke on his own saliva, "I'm here today I’m asking about your construction team, the ranch is going to be remodeled and adjusted.”

"Large scale?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it can be said like this." Lu Li nodded, "I plan to build three additional houses next to the main house, but all of them will be made of wood to keep them close to nature; then the main house and warehouse also need to be readjusted."

"You go to Edward of the Williams family. They were born in construction engineering. Edward has now inherited the mantle. He and Jimmy are both excellent carpenters." Sean blurted out the idea without any hesitation, "You take the project The size of the company tells them, and then they will build a team and do all the work. As for the quotation, rest assured, they are very fair, the McCartney family and them are family friends, maybe they can give your family a discount."
