Yunding Ranch

Chapter 206
Lu Li felt a little regretful, he missed the earth-shaking changes in the ranch during his time in New York.In this land, the appearance is almost the same every day. If you miss three weeks, you will miss countless wonderful things.

However, fortunately, this is only the first year he took over the ranch, and there will be countless hours in the future to wait slowly until the day he gets bored.Therefore, what he needs to do now is to look forward to the fact that the ranch can achieve profitability as soon as possible, so that the days in the future will be longer and longer.

Li Zi took Lu Li back to the stable. He did not break his promise, found a small bucket of carrots, handed Li Zi, and let the little guy have a good meal. After that, Lu Li walked back to the main house.

Because the warehouse was under construction at this time, the back door of the main house was suspended for safety reasons, so Lu Li had to go back through the front door.When passing by the tall and burly oak tree, Lu Li couldn't help but stop. Although he personally picked this tree, he was still shocked when he actually saw it appear in the courtyard.

Standing under the shade of the trees, the heat of midsummer seems to be blocked, but the dappled sunlight can shine on the shoulders without hindrance, and the light warmth makes people feel comfortable and lazy. This afternoon is most suitable for lying on the bed. Get a good night's sleep.Perhaps, the next step should be to hang a hammock under the tree.

He raised his head, looked up along the lines of the oak tree, and used the golden sunlight to describe the shape of the leaves and the lines of the trunk in detail, but he was drawing another scene in his mind: if he could climb the treetop , if he can stand in the crown of a tree, what kind of picture can he see?So what kind of wonderful will the panoramic ranch be?
Just by imagining it, the mood can't help but fly up.

Walking along the blue vegetation like a shag carpet, the fragrance of weeds is not strong or wonderful, but it is mixed with the breath of nature, which makes the mood unbearable in this deep blue ocean. dance in.Lu Li had to admit that this deserted garden was a waste of money. Fortunately, Song Lingyi gave it life again.

Some people like gardens just because they like the process of labor and work. Even at home, they can work with soil and plants; There are people who like gardens, just because they like the joy of farming and harvesting.

All of a sudden, Lu Li had a wonderful idea that the Yunding Ranch seemed to be missing a piece of the puzzle.until now.

A cow is just a cow, a meadow is just a piece of land with weeds and flowers, and a ray of sunlight is just a halo of light falling through the treetops... But when all these pieces are put together, it is beautiful. Incredible.

Just like a ranch, the animals are just animals, the vineyard is just a vineyard, and there are cornfields, lakes, beech forests, etc., everything seems to be just a part of the ranch, the taste of home, the happiness The blueprint is never complete.But when they all come together, plus this garden, it all comes together.

He knew that this kind of thinking was absurd, because the garden and the ranch had no direct connection at all, but he just had such a feeling, as if he saw Liz busy here, and felt that Song Lingyi was here. The hope and the existence of the garden finally complete the lack.It's like that field of lavender waiting to bloom.

This childish and novel idea made his steps light up. Walking on the path with swaying flowers, Lu Li felt that he had also become Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz".Is this...a girl's heart?

After realizing this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, walked into the room, and heard the familiar voice, "What's the matter? What's so happy about it?" Lily's chubby figure jumped to Viewable range.

Standing beside Lily, Ronald raised his right hand and waved it happily, "Welcome home!"

Lu Li also waved at the two of them, "I just thought, every time you came here before, were you complaining about my garden?"

One sentence made everyone in the room burst into laughter—except for Lily and Ronald, there were only Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, and Jessica and Cole should have gone to work again.

"You know, there is a saying in the United States, don't judge other people's gardens and lawns lightly, otherwise your life will be in danger." Ronald's thick voice has the calmness and seriousness unique to Texas cowboys. The words revealed a breath of killing, which made everyone stunned, not knowing whether it was the truth or a joke.

Lu Huaijin was the first to react, "Are you joking?"

Ronald shrugged, "I'm serious."

Lily couldn't help but smiled and nodded, expressing her agreement, "Yes, that's what we all said. You can criticize a person's private life, but you can't criticize his gardening." Then she looked at the astonished Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin, "Although this is a joke, we are all willing to abide by it."

"In Texas, someone will even take out a rifle and point it at your cheek." Ronald made a movement of raising the gun, and then pulled the trigger in a void, which made both Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi stunned. It froze for a while.

Lu Li's chuckle broke the deadlock, "You have to be thankful, I'm a foreigner." This ridicule immediately melted the ice and snow, and everyone burst into laughter.

Ronald also patted Lu Huaijin on the shoulder, "Sorry, we're used to talking like this here. You know, guns are part of our lives."

Lu Huaijin nodded lightly, "It seems that there are no guns, they are part of our life."

Such a cold and humorous response made Ronald laugh heartily, and the roaring laughter kept echoing in his ears, even the resonance in his chest was so clear.

Lu Li walked towards them. There were several burlap sacks beside the dining table, inside which were neatly piled vegetables, which were picked just yesterday.

HEB Supermarket is willing to buy all the vegetables, but Lu Li is unwilling to completely turn the organic farm into a commodity for trading.The original intention of developing the organic farm was to grow vegetables, enrich the diet of the ranch, and at the same time become a part of the farmland life experience in the future resort.

Compared with trading, the process of planting, cultivating and harvesting is the most important.

This time was no exception, they left a part of each vegetable, not only for Yunding Ranch, but also for calling other friends to come and pick it up.Like Blackmane Ranch, or Marshall Creek Ranch.

In just a few months of getting along, they have established a close friendship.Every time Lily cooks something to eat, she will send a copy to Yunding Ranch; Robert often comes to help Brandon take care of the horses, Marshall Valley Ranch is indeed the number one horse farm nearby; every time Justin needs help, They are all free labor coolies. Yesterday's organic farm harvest, he followed everyone to get busy; even Xiao En, Li Huainan and others did the same.

Texas is so big that you may not see any human habitation within three or 10 minutes of driving; but Texas is also so small that any neighbor next door is willing to lend a helping hand.Lu Li felt that the way he opened Texas was a bit special. It was xenophobic, but it was more intimate, tough, but more forthright, and there were conflicts, but it was more unity.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this sentence, Lu Li once again felt it clearly.It's just that the neighbors this time are "near" in the atypical sense.

In the pastures near the small town of New Braunfels, no one would try to open up an organic farm. They were not very interested in vegetables. Even if they planted, they basically chose corn and potatoes, just like Li As before.So, now Yunding Ranch suddenly has fresh vegetables, and the taste is particularly good. Even though all of them are carnivores, they are all willing to taste some healthy organic food.

No, Lily and Ronald were not polite at all, and came over directly to "share the food".

Looking at Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi next to Lili, these are his "distant relatives", thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but smile.But I have to say, separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, they are indeed "distant" relatives.It's just that now they came to Yunding Ranch not far away, and came here to meet him and spend this wonderful and happy time.

With distant relatives and close neighbors, Lu Li felt unprecedented joy and happiness in the vast land of Yunding Ranch.

"Lily, don't take the vegetables home today, stay for dinner." Lu Kai extended an invitation.

"What? Is there a party here today?" Lily's voice revealed surprise, "But it's already afternoon, so there's still no time to make impromptu preparations?"

Lu Li looked at Song Lingyi, his mother laughed, and took over the conversation, "You guys stay and eat, we just came back from New York, but we brought a lot of stories, and we can't wait to share them."

Song Lingyi originally thought that Lu Li was going to let her cook, but unexpectedly, Lu Huaijin added, "He prepared a small simple party with traditional Chinese characteristics. When our friends get together, if there is no special If you are prepared, you will choose this way.”

Song Lingyi looked at Lu Huaijin with a puzzled expression, and he explained, "Hot pot."

"Hot pot?" Ronald showed a embarrassed expression, "That food is not delicious, sorry, to be precise, that food is really bad."

Ronald has always been a brave experimenter in new things, what happened today?Both Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin showed surprise expressions.

Lu Li was about to explain, but was interrupted by a voice behind him, "Oh, everyone is there?" When everyone turned around, it was Justin.
