Yunding Ranch

Chapter 442 Organic Certification
"Hissing", the horse's roar came over sharply, disturbing the other horses around, causing the shouts to be one after another. Cole carried a pile of reins on his shoulders and held a plow in his hand. Kicking the dust off the lawn, he stopped and called out, "Brandon, do you need help?"

Brandon, who was pulling the rein vigorously, didn't seem to use all his strength. While trotting, he still had the strength to reply calmly, "It's a small matter. You should help Randy, I think he is going to on fire."

The stern tone also contained a hint of ridicule, which made Cole laugh out loud, "He may need advice from Jessica or Scarlett, you know, the kind of trouble women have once a month. I Can't help."

"Hey, are you boys choreographing us? Tell you, even at the weakest time of the month, I can single you out." Jessica's haughty voice came over, and she also dragged a There are a lot of tools, chewing the gum in his mouth hard, and he looks like a fool. Even if he stands beside Cole or Brandon, his momentum is not at all inferior.

Seeing this scene, Adam, who was passing by with another horse, whistled, "I believe." This made Cole laugh again, and Brandon turned his head in time, glanced at Jessica, and frowned. He pursed his lips, "I believe it too."

This sentence definitely made Jessica nodded in satisfaction, raised her chin proudly, accepted such "commendation" with a confident attitude, and then said, "Brandon, are you sure you don't need our help? For a few days, your babies sounded really restless, are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

"Don't worry, everything is under control." Brandon was not worried at all, he was still trotting without panting, "It's just because of the temperature change, they are a little more sensitive. When the temperature starts to warm up After that, everything will be fine."

After entering the new year, the snow on the ranch began to melt gradually, and the temperature dropped to the lowest point. I thought that the coldest season had passed, but this winter was obviously unusual, and then there were two small snowfalls one after another, which eased the situation. During the process of snow melting, the temperature has not been able to completely warm up.

Until these few days, all the snow has basically melted, and the ranch is experiencing the coldest time since Christmas.After all the snow has melted, the temperature should slowly warm up.

Although winter has not passed yet, spring is not far away.

Brandon finally slowed down, the neighing horse gradually calmed down docilely, and then followed Brandon to walk around the door of the stable, and the situation seemed to be finally under control.Seeing that Brandon was not blushing and out of breath, he really didn't need help.

Adam next to him stopped and stepped aside, and then Scarlett led another horse out of the stable. It seemed that she didn't miss the conversation just now, and said directly, "Compared to us Say, the problem Randy is facing now is serious? In the past two days, he has been unable to control his emotions and is very irritable, like a powder keg that ignites at a single point."

"No, it will ignite even if you don't light it." Adam's addition made everyone nod their heads in agreement.

Jessica said solemnly, "Honestly, if there is no news about Fourteen, I think Randy may suddenly explode in front of us. You know, halfway through the meal, with a bang, he directly It exploded."

This was clearly a joke, but instead of laughing, everyone nodded seriously, expressing agreement again.

After a moment of silence, Adam said cautiously, "But aren't you curious? Why is there no news about Fourteen? He has been in New York for a week, and then there is no update? Cole, didn't you call him yesterday? ?"

"The day before yesterday." Cole corrected, "Fourteen knows it in his own mind. If there is any progress, he will tell us. None of those supermarkets are good, and they will definitely not compromise easily. Naturally, they will not negotiate. Easy, give Fourteen some time and space."

It was already three weeks before New Year's Day. Whole Foods Market, Fresh Market, and Wegmans Food Supermarket all came to Yunding Ranch for inspection and evaluation in person. Not only that, but under the matchmaking of Tony's brother Andy Rogers , Lu Li also found two other potential partners on the west coast, and they both sent teams to Yunding Ranch for evaluation.

With the evaluations all over, the kale is almost ready for harvest.A week ago, Lu Li specially went to New York to conduct the final discussion on cooperation matters. All the benefits are no longer just talk, but actual figures.

Three days ago, the organic farm of Yunding Ranch officially passed the organic certification. The official certification information is "Yunding Farm", and it is the highest level of 100% organic certification. For Randy and Yunding Ranch, it is undoubtedly the best sure.

However, this is just the beginning, and Yunding Farm still cannot relax its vigilance. After the first certification, it will undergo a second test within three months, and there will be intermittent tests in the next cycle. .But on the other hand, this also means that the kale from Yunding Farm can enter organic supermarkets such as Whole Foods Market.

Now, Randy is waiting for the negotiation results from Luli. After confirming the cooperation partner, they can start harvesting kale and put it into packaging, transportation and other links.

These matters are all new to everyone in Yunding Ranch, and they are not good at it. They must be serious, serious, careful, and careful.In the past few days, not only Randy, but everyone in the ranch has extended a helping hand in their free time.

But the problem is that there has been no news from Lu Li's side, as if he has disappeared completely - this is not accurate.They could still get in touch with Lu Li, but every time Lu Li said that the matter was still in progress and there was no latest news.As time went by, the tension gradually increased. Even Adam and Scarlett, who had just joined the ranch for less than two months, inevitably became nervous, let alone Randy?

Cole was also a little nervous, but he still believed in Lu Li.Compared to others, Cole knew more clearly how the ranch turned decay into magic in Lu Li's hands, so he also believed that Lu Li would bring the ranch a perfect contract.

"What's more, don't forget, Fourteen is in New York this time, and he still has his own job." Cole reminded everyone again, and now everyone remembered, Jessica quickly asked, "Fourteen mentioned Is it? How is work?"

Cole closed his mouth and didn't speak. Now everyone became anxious, and Adam yelled, "Speak quickly, quickly, Fourteen must have told you."

Cole is not sure whether it is because the attributes are the same, so they are mutually exclusive.Every time Adam and Randy met, they were absolutely tit-for-tat and resented each other.But in the eyes of others, the two of them are actually hanging on the same hook. Looking at Adam jumping up and down, Cole felt that he was facing another Randy.

"I originally planned to ask him to tell you when he came back on the [-]th, but he didn't say anything. This needs to be kept a secret..." Cole paused for a moment, and everyone's eyes focused on him. Said, "Successful! Fourteen got that contract."

"Ho Ho Ho Ho!" Adam shouted first, Brandon whistled, and even Jessica and Scarlett shouted.The shouting sound attracted Tony's attention. He trotted over and asked curiously, "What's the matter, what's the matter? Are you complaining about Randy? God, Randy's temper is so bad, alone Muttering in the fields, I think he's gone mad."

However, Tony's complaints just made everyone pause, and then they started cheering and celebrating again.

Jessica said, "That's not news anymore, we're celebrating another piece of news now."

Cole felt Tony's gaze, took over the conversation and said, "Fourteen got that job contract."

Tony opened his mouth wide, widened his eyes, and wrote surprises, "'New York Times'?" After getting Cole's affirmative answer, Tony danced and danced to celebrate, and directly danced the Maori war dance. Learning howling wolves from time to time, the atmosphere is so lively.

This time, the reason why Lu Li went to New York first instead of Los Angeles was not only because of the cooperation agreement with the supermarket, but also because the "New York Times" sent out an invitation to invite Lu Li to sign a short-term employment contract.

The articles Lu Li wrote on his personal blog in the past two months, after changing the subject, gradually began to broaden into different areas, but the core is still from different standpoints from different cultures, which injected a unique flavor into his articles. Temperament, which successfully stood out, not only received more and more followers, but also gradually spread on Facebook.

After careful consideration, the "New York Times" decided to hire Lu Li to write a column, five articles a month, but when to publish and whether to publish, all were decided by the "New York Times". "Times" is a daily magazine published every day. Five columns are really not many, but this is no longer the online version, but the physical version and the online version are published simultaneously——

In other words, now Lu Li has officially become a columnist for the "New York Times".At least for the next six months. As for what happens after six months, it depends on the quality and feedback of the [-] manuscripts in six months.

This is definitely an important step in Lu Li's career as a reporter. From a fresh graduate who couldn't find a job to a columnist for the "New York Times", Lu Li's college dream has finally come true.

Everyone, except for Randy who was talking to himself and going crazy, everyone was sincerely happy for Lu Li.From a certain point of view, this is even better news than the cooperation agreement of Yunding Farm.However, if the cooperation agreement of Yunding Ranch is a contract of 500 million yuan, then it is another matter.
