Yunding Ranch

Chapter 382 Candy Paradise
"Wow, thank you." Lu Li said happily, "I can handle it, but thank you anyway. Before my arrogance caused trouble, someone managed to save my face. It's a good thing."

The relaxed tone of self-mockery successfully made Melanie laugh happily, "Fourteen, you are such an interesting guy, you don't look like you are from Asia at all."

"Melanie, you don't look like an American at all. After all, you are so humorous." Lu Li's retort retorted, causing laughter to echo from both sides of the street.

It was only a few simple steps from the store entrance to the rear of the Raptor. Lu Li put the boxes in the rear of the car, and then Justin put the boxes down one by one, "Is that all there?" Justin Shen asked aloud.

"No, this is just the beginning." Lu Li rolled up his sleeves, waved to Justin, beckoned Justin to walk back to the shop, and then moved all the boxes out one by one.Later, strangers passing by joined in and started to help - yes, there were so many boxes.

In the end, there were fourteen boxes in the rear of the Raptor.Although there are different sizes of boxes, and Melanie installed [-] boxes according to different props, such a large number of boxes is still incomparably astonishing, and everyone stopped and discussed.

This is a small town, a very small town.Anything new might spark crowds from several nearby blocks.

"God, Fourteen, have you emptied Melanie's shop?"

"Don't you tell me it's all Halloween shopping? This...is this crazy?"

"Fourteen, what are you going to do? Melanie, do you have an idea?"

……

Amidst the hustle and bustle of discussion, Lu Li showed a bright smile, and said loudly, "Adventure Park. For Halloween, I plan to build an adventure park in Yunding Ranch. It's all done by hand. It's not as good as Disneyland, but I Really looking forward to a paradise."

"Wow!" Everyone began to exclaim in amazement, whispering among themselves.

"Children from the whole town are welcome. Of course, the premise is that they have a way to go from the town to the ranch." Lu Li's teasing made everyone burst into laughter.Yunding Ranch is very close to the town, only 10 to [-] minutes by car, but for children, this distance is still too far.

Lu Li then added, "But!" Because everyone's laughter was so joyous, Lu Li had to repeat it again to attract everyone's attention, "However, adults are also welcome in Adventure Park. I am an adult, and I will Going to get into the Halloween spirit. I just picked out my costume with the help of Melanie, so I'm looking forward to having some adults join in and do some silly things with me, so that among the kids, I It doesn't look that old."

"Hahahaha." Everyone clapped their hands and laughed. Lu Li raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Edward in the crowd——Edward of the construction team. The construction of the ranch has been successfully completed, but Edward occasionally He would run to the ranch, in the name of inspecting the safety of the project, but in fact, he used to eat and drink.

"Edward, I've already targeted you. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the Yunding Ranch on Halloween and experiencing an adventure park." Lu Li shrugged, "Unless you think it's too scary; or you can't pass me The level set, lost to the children."

As soon as this provocative method came out, even though Lu Li's intentions were extremely obvious, the onlookers still booed, "Edward! Edward! Edward!"

Edward immediately became uneasy. He looked at Lu Li speechlessly. He didn't want to admit defeat, but he didn't want to bow his head. In desperation, he could only shout, "If you go, then I will go."

Halloween is already a holiday for kids and nerds.Aside from kids, only misfit geeks and nerds dress up for Halloween.In the general view of society, this is not only immature and ignorant, but also an object excluded and isolated by society.

Especially in Texas.Cowboys are tough guys. Not to mention putting on makeup for Halloween, it is extremely difficult to even change out that plaid shirt.Not to mention, the Cowboys are reluctant to act like children.

Edward's counterattack successfully diverted everyone's attention, chirping and expressing his views, and then dispersed one after another, hiding in the crowd, and Edward also fled.It seemed that as long as he continued to stay, Lu Li would forcibly drag him to Yunding Ranch.

Looking at Edward's back, Lu Li couldn't help but laughed heartily. When he turned his head, he found that Justin was still standing beside him, not leaving. "What, are you going to the ranch for Halloween?"

Lu Li was just joking, but he didn't expect that Justin nodded, "Yes." This time, Lu Li showed a surprised expression, and Justin couldn't help explaining, "I think Finley will definitely like it."

Lu Li suddenly realized, but his gaze on Justin became playful.Justin was a tough man, he didn't even talk much, but he didn't expect that he was such a gentle and delicate man in his bones.

Under Lu Li's gaze, Justin's face was calm and he didn't look flustered at all, which made Lu Li smile, "I also think that Finley will like it."

Justin didn't say anything more, and changed the subject, "Are you going to build an adventure park?" After receiving Lu Li's affirmative answer, Justin continued, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Of course!" Lu Li gave the exact answer without hesitation, and his expression became excited, "You know, I'm going to build some shelves, set up lights, clean up the smoke, etc. Of course I need help, and there are many, many Come here whenever you are free, we will have a lot of carpentry work to do."

Justin looked at Lu Li in front of him seriously, and smiled slightly, "You can always bring surprises, and I'm already looking forward to it now."

Texas is a relatively stable place, even conservative.In daily life, there is always a lack of change, like a pool of stagnant water.But the problem is that people don't find it strange, but they are used to it.Those rebels fled this land one after another, and started a new life elsewhere, leaving only the stubborn group of people to continue living here.

For Texas, this is a good thing.Because the life on the ranch is boring, the busy farm work is always so similar and dull day after day, year after year. It requires people to calm down and repeat it again and again.

However, Justin felt that, like Lu Li, it was good to occasionally bring some surprises, occasional changes, and some ripples in a peaceful life.At least, he can look forward to something.

Looking at Justin's almost expressionless face, Lu Li naturally had no way of knowing what was going on in his heart. He just waved his hand, "I'm going to the candy store next time. This is a big project. Come to the ranch some other day, and we'll talk about it later." .”

After speaking, Lu Li walked briskly towards the next street.Justin suddenly remembered something, "Fourteen, when will the ranch make gnocchi soup? Let me know in advance."

Lu Li's footsteps didn't stop, he just made an "OK" gesture and continued walking.When passing by the "House of Clowns", Melanie was still standing at the door, the excitement between her brows still not dissipating, "Gnoodle soup? What is that?"

"During Halloween, you are welcome to come over and taste it for yourself." Lu Li said heartily, "I still owe you a thank you, thank you for your help today, you are really my savior." Not only did she help choose all the props, but also Give Lu Li a [-]% discount.

Melanie's entire face was blooming, bright and brilliant, "I'm really going! Halloween, to me, is Christmas."

"Please, please come here." Lu Li said as he continued to walk, the distance between the two of them was getting farther and farther away, and then Lu Li heard Melanie's cheering voice, which brightened his mood instantly.

Pushing open the reddish-brown door, a sweet smell rushes in, colorful colors fill every corner of the line of sight, and the dazzling array of candies makes people overwhelmed and unable to walk.

Red, green, blue, black, orange, yellow, brown, colorful, candy-colored... as if God accidentally knocked over the palette, all the colors in the world are concentrated here , this is the candy store.

In the United States, there are specialized candy stores here.It sells all kinds of candies, as well as snacks such as QQ candies, licorice candies, and chocolates. There are hundreds of different candies, which can definitely make people with choice phobias refuse to leave, and let those sweets lovers in Scenes here all night.

This is paradise, a paradise for children.

Lu Li is not a person with a sweet tooth, nor is he obsessed with candy, but at this moment, he can barely move, completely eye-opening, "Welcome, is there anything I can do for you?" The waiter with a pink headband and a pink tutu skirt greeted him with a smile on his face.

Lu Li couldn't help sighing, "Now I know why Charlie's Chocolate Factory is so dreamy? Why does every child want to get that golden ticket?" But his eyes were always looking at the colorful colors around him, and he couldn't stop. .

The waiter laughed brightly, "Now, you are standing in 'Charlie's Chocolate Factory', you don't need a golden ticket." This made Lu Li laugh happily, "So, are you here specifically for Halloween shopping? ?”

Lu Li nodded, "I need to buy a lot of candies. Besides, not only delicious ones, I also need some nasty and disgusting candies as punishment." Lu Li felt that his eyes were not enough. "But it has to be packed separately, lest I be late myself, like Harry Potter eating snot-smelling beans."

"You mean, the licorice candy tastes bad, or...?"

"I mean, it smells like snot."
