Yunding Ranch

Chapter 41
Early in the morning, when Lu Li opened his eyes, he was startled. When he saw the fluffy ball on the pillow, Carp sat up straight, and then he saw clearly that the ball was actually Bucky!

This really made Lu Li feel a sense of nothingness, although he finally gave in and took Bucky home; but it doesn't mean that he became the kind of person who loves pets overnight, he is still not used to pets appearing around him. on the bed.However, what Lu Li was even more curious about was how Bucky climbed up. He obviously closed the door...

"Ah, idiot." When Lu Li saw the open window, he rolled his eyes.

Carefully picked up Bucky, then went all the way downstairs, and put the little guy back into the cat's litter.Bucky woke up and barked his claws at Lu Li to protest, but Lu Li remained unwavering, "Stay here! Stay here!"

Looking at Bucky's pitiful and cute eyes, Lu Li was speechless for a while, and muttered, "I still need a little time to get used to it, this one doesn't work for me!" Then he turned heartily and went back upstairs, with a message behind him. Here comes Bucky's bursts of "meow, meow".

I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it... Lu Li chanted the spell silently, went back upstairs, and was about to go back to sleep when he remembered that there was still an important task today, so what was the reason for all his troubles just now? ?

Lu Li deeply felt that after Bucky and Teddy surrounded him, his IQ seemed to drop by two notches.

After washing up, Cole was already waiting for Lu Li downstairs. He brought a wrapped sandwich, Lu Li got into the passenger seat, and they set off towards the next town.

This small town called Laomaso has a long history. In the era when the railway was established, the town of Laomaso used to be a post station and a transportation point. It developed along with the trend, and many new small towns emerged around it town.Later, the railway fell down, but the town of Laomaso relied on convenient transportation and became the place where the nearby market was held.

The market is generally divided into a three-day market and a seven-day market. The three-day market is relatively small, and it mainly sells daily necessities, such as homemade handmade soap, or homemade cheese, or handmade furniture. , and so on; the scale of the seven-day market is completely different, nearby ranch owners will choose to complete transactions here, and even chain companies often come here to complete large transactions.

Today, Lu Li was lucky and came across the [-]-day fair. According to Cole, when they were young, they didn't have the opportunity to travel, and the [-]-day fair was the biggest outing for the friends. Dress up.

When it comes to dressing up, Lu Li is finally "normal" today. He has a dark blue plaid shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of riding boots. Apart from his youthful vigor, he also fits the cowboy temperament very well.

"When you put on the cowboy hat, there will probably be a lot of girls giving you winks." This was Cole's teasing of Lu Li's attire.

From afar, Lu Li could see the dust flying all over the sky in the distance, and the lively scene could be smelled two miles away.There are all kinds of pickup trucks parked on both sides of the loess road, which is dazzling; and then there are giant trucks, each of which is decorated in different colors and looks like a Transformers exhibition. Added to this is the smell of caravans loaded with livestock, dry straw and manure mixed together, making it all very real.

I even saw a motorbike team, everyone was dressed in leather jackets and patterned headscarves, which was extraordinarily cool, even on the seven-day set, they were the focus of everyone's attention.

Cole found a parking space, parked the pickup truck, and led Lu Li to walk there.Soon, mobile carts appeared on both sides of the road. The one on the left was selling all kinds of leather products, all of which were made of real leather. Lu Li took a casual glance and found that the price was very cheap, and it was hand-designed. It is also very distinctive. Listening to Cole's explanation, it is very likely that it was woven and designed by the aborigines of Indians, and then someone went to the gathering place to collect it, and then came to sell it.

The one in front on the right is a stall selling ice cream. The colorful colors seem to break the rainbow palette. The peddler wearing a Mexican hat is yelling hard. If it is not not far away, it is selling pickles such as pickles. Lu Li almost thought it was an amusement park.

Shuttle through the busy and lively small market——Lu Li could barely move, the variety of delicious food was really eye-opening, but remembering that there was still business to do today, so I went straight inside with Cole go.

Leaving the small market behind, Lu Li's eyes widened immediately. The sand and soil in front of him clearly showed traces of circles, which looked like the marks of a carriage passing by. There are all kinds of small markets laid out around this circle, and the center is a place that looks like a circular stadium, but compared to the stadium, it looks more like a wooden Colosseum.

The Colosseum-like building is very large. Standing on tiptoe, I couldn't see the opposite end. In the middle is a space wider than a football field, which is divided into countless small compartments. You can see different areas on the ground, and the recognized ones include horses, sheep, pigs, cattle, etc.

The auditorium of the surrounding stairs extends all the way up, and there are many people standing on the stage, looking down condescendingly; and at the bottom of the stairs are compartments, which are decorated like studios, and sitting in them are all kinds of people. cowboys.Under Cole's explanation, Lu Li finally understood that they were the back office staff responsible for signing the deal. Everyone went inside to select, and after the selection was completed, they came out here to find the owner and complete the paper formalities.

At this time, the dusty and magnificent scene reminded Lu Li of the school sports meeting when he was a child. The scene was extremely lively. Everyone watched the fun with snacks and cheered for the athletes in his class from time to time. It was definitely a burden. A rare leisure in my study life.

"Let's start with the cow?" Cole asked Lu Li for his opinion. At this time, Lu Li was already dazzled, and he patted his pocket with a smile, "I am the role of the wallet today, and I will leave other things to you. Let's make a decision."

This made Cole laugh out loud. He led Lu Li into the building and walked towards the herd of cattle. "Our ranch is full of Angus cattle." Cole explained to Lu Li at the same time. , Angus cattle are one of the four best types of beef in the world, "Most Angus cattle in Texas are raised on grass now, but we insist on raising them on grain, which costs more, which is also one of the important reasons for the difficult operation One. So Liz sold most of the cattle for cash when the cash flow was over."

"Is there any difference between pasture and grain?" Although Lu Li had heard before that really high-grade beef, even listening to music, would affect the quality of the meat, but he didn't know anything about the actual operation. .

"If you raise grains, the meat will be more delicate and taste better." Cole simply explained, "The price of grass has risen several times in the past two years, let alone grains." Lu Li nodded to understand that the United States originally It is not a large production country, and their grain mainly comes from imports. "However, the increase in beef prices is very limited, and the life of the ranch is naturally more difficult."

"Nick!" While speaking, Cole came to the cattle area, raised his hand to say hello, and then Lu Li saw a middle-aged cowboy with tattoos all over his arms. In comparison, with a short goatee, it looks a little funny, "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

"Hey, why did you show up?" Nick gave Cole a big hug, "I told Jenny last time that I don't know how you are doing." Nick looked up and down at Lu Li who was standing next to him, "Would you like to change?" New job?"

"No, this is fourteen. He inherited the Beech Ranch, which is now called Yundian Ranch." Cole briefly introduced it.

"Nice to meet you." Nick also warmly hugged Lu Li, with a cheerful smile on his face, "I have always liked Asian culture, look..." Nick enthusiastically lifted up his shirt, and the tattoo on the waist After saying "I love meat", Lu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it.

Afterwards, Lu Li also realized that he was being rude, and waved his hands repeatedly to express his apology.Nick didn't care, "How? Do you know these words?"

"You don't know if it's Chinese or Japanese?" Lu Li felt very strange, but Nick shook his head in denial, "I just thought these words were very beautiful and I liked them very much, so I got them tattooed. I asked the tattoo artist, this is called' Carnivore, right?"

Lu Li pursed his lips, "Yes, it can be understood as such." Since he doesn't know these Chinese, then let this beautiful misunderstanding continue. What's more, this explanation is correct, "By the way, these are all It's Chinese, my native language."

"Hahahaha!" Nick laughed loudly, "I'm planning to get a few words tattooed on my back recently, next time, I'll just ask your opinion!"

The words "serve the country with loyalty" came to Lu Li's mind, and he couldn't help but not laugh out loud, "No problem!" Then Lu Li looked at Cole who was standing next to him, "Nick, I'm here today mainly to Want to buy some Angus cattle."

Cole has already begun to test from the side, "Nick, how many cows, cows, and calves are there now?" Cole wandered around a cow next to him, asking loudly.

The limbs of this cow in front of him look a bit short, and its soft black fur glows beautifully in the sun. Looking at it closely, you can clearly feel the symmetry and fitness of its muscles.This was completely different from the scalpers he saw in the countryside before. Lu Li didn't even realize it, and swallowed involuntarily.

This is... Hungry?
