Yunding Ranch

Chapter 57
Randy is a small man. Standing next to Lu Li, an Asian, he seems to be even thinner, but his body is very muscular. His light golden curly hair flutters in the wind, and he has a chic and unrestrained attitude. With a smell of ruffian, his whole body exudes a smell of sunshine.

"God, have you graduated from high school yet?"

Randy didn't hide his surprise at all, which made Lu Li laugh, "If I said, I didn't graduate from high school, would you resign and leave?"

This unreasonable answer made Randy rub the back of his head, and he gave a dry laugh twice, "Of course not, I'm going to rely on this job for the funds to take the girl on a date next week, and I don't want to do it again." Moving on to Olive Garden." Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant chain with affordable prices.

"Huh." Lu Li whistled, and said solemnly, "Then you'd better start working now, and I will supervise while doing homework."

Brandon who was standing next to him raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Li with a half-smile on his mouth.This guy with the Asian face is more interesting than expected.Especially when his eyes fell on Randy who was scratching his head in embarrassment, he couldn't help but laugh.

Randy looked at the back of Lu Li leading the way, and walked to Brandon step by step, "Hey, Brandon, I didn't expect you to come here too."

Cowboys in town know each other more or less, if not well.Brandon is the best horse trainer in the vicinity, and his reputation is naturally not weak. Randy and Brandon are also nodding friends.However, there is a nine-year age gap between the two, and they have never really played together, so they are still relatively strangers to each other.

"I thought you were preparing for a cowboy convention. Why did you suddenly think of looking for a job? However, those ranches are laying off people now, and it is not easy to find a job. You have picked the right time. I am almost looking for a job." It’s been four months, and there’s still no news. I can only work at home all day. I’m going to be moldy. I don’t have the confidence to go out and date girls. It’s so depressing. Now I finally found a job..."

Randy's chattering noise kept ringing in his ears, like buzzing flies, which was annoying, and Brandon could only feel his temples beating faintly, "By the way, the boss is really in high school. Didn’t he graduate? Asian faces can’t tell the age, I think he’s only in the 11th grade at most, and he may not be able to take the SAT next year.”

Brandon gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said lightly, "As far as I know, the boss is in the 12th grade." Opening his eyes and telling nonsense, Brandon's expression was flawless and impeccable.

"Oh! It turned out to be in the 12th grade!" Randy suddenly realized, "He took over the ranch at such a young age. Could it be the successor of some consortium? I remember that this ranch used to be owned by Allen's family, right?"

Brandon rolled his eyes—the beech wood ranch was left as an inheritance to an outsider. This news is not news in the town at all. Randy actually... It seems that Randy is still too young. Cowboys together are more concerned with football games, wrestling games, big city life, courting girls, and town news is almost indifferent.However, Brandon did not open his mouth to refute, but silently quickened his pace.

"Do you know what kind of work we are going to be responsible for? What is the main direction of this new ranch? Why did the boss pick me? There was no interview or anything before, and he suddenly called me to name me, which scared me Jump, my old man thought it was a liar, but later he heard that it was old Charlie from the Sunset Bar, so he believed it..."

Grumbling, endless.

"Shut up!" Brandon couldn't hold back after all. He didn't understand how Randy could talk so much during this short 50-meter journey without stopping for a second.

Randy looked at the angry Brandon, puzzled, and even stopped because of the fright.Brandon ignored it at all and moved on.

Randy paused, and quickly chased after him, looking at Brandon like a curious baby, "So...you don't like the job you're in charge of? Where did the boss assign you? Or is it that there are no horses here? How pitiful But, if you don't like it, you can resign, I heard that you have always been reluctant to work on the ranch because there are too many constraints."

Brandon felt that his patience had reached its limit and was about to explode. Lu Li's voice came from ahead, "We're here." The noisy voice finally stopped. God, he decided to start liking Lu Li—thanks to Lu Li He was rescued from the sea of ​​bitterness.

"Cole, Cole?" Standing outside the cowshed, Lu Li raised his voice and shouted. Before they entered the cowshed, Cole came out with a huge iron fork in his hand, "Hey Fourteen!" Cole greeted with a loud voice, saw Lu Li and the two people standing behind him, he stabbed the iron fork into the haystack next to him, and walked over quickly.

"These two are the cowboys who will be working on the ranch, this is Brandon, this is..."

Before Lu Li could finish his introduction, Randy stepped forward and extended his right hand to Cole, "Randy."

Cole held Randy's right hand, "Nice to meet you." Then, Cole raised his chin towards Brandon, which was regarded as a greeting. The two of them were relatively similar in age and had played together in bars before. Billiards is not a close friend, but it is also a relationship of greetings and greetings at meetings.

"All the animals were delivered yesterday, and the next few days will be chaotic, so we will not divide the work for the time being. We will first stabilize the situation and then subdivide it slowly." Cole said simply, and then He directly greeted the two of them and got busy together.

Lu Li wanted to help, but Cole drove him back into the house. As a layman, he stood there at a loss for what to do. Instead, he was not helpful and slowed down their efficiency. This made Lu Li show his innocence.

Back in the house, Lu Li didn't rest. He turned the computer out and started to check the status of the latest equipment.Although the ranch does not need to be completely renovated, many equipments need to be updated. It is better for him to learn in advance so as not to ask questions.

"Yeah", the sound of the back door being pushed open made Lu Li look up, and then he saw Ronald with a red face and sweat on his forehead. He opened the refrigerator and started looking for a drink. Lu Li raised his voice and said, "There are juices on the lower floor. If that wasn't enough to quench my thirst, I've made a pot of tea on the kitchen stove."

It was chrysanthemum/scented tea, which Liu Xiaoyan stuffed for him last time, saying it was for clearing away heat and relieving fire.Here in Texas, meat is eaten for almost three meals. For the locals, they have long been used to it, so it is fine, but for outsiders, it feels too boring.

Ronald looked at the orange juice and apple juice in the refrigerator, then looked back at the direction of the kitchen, and finally closed the refrigerator door, "I feel like a Chinese in the past two days, and this feeling is not bad." Standing in the kitchen, they poured themselves a cup of tea, raised their heads and drank it in one gulp, smashing their mouths, but they didn't have the same enthusiasm for cooking as before. Obviously, their understanding of tea culture is still too superficial after all.

After hesitating for a moment, Ronald poured himself another cup. Although the chrysanthemum/herbal tea tastes light, it does quench thirst, there is no doubt about it.

"By the way, Ronald, I need to ask you something. Do the cowboys need to work together?" Lu Li remembered this matter. It was a very important matter. Ronald and Lily also had their own ranch. Still has unique insights, which is an advantage that Cole does not have.

"Ah, you mean Brandon and Randy, right?" Ronald came to the living room with a cup, and sat down diagonally opposite Lu Li, "Two excellent cowboys, nice boys." Ronald Nodding his head, he was obviously quite satisfied with the brief cooperation just now, "Actually, the overall routine of the work on the ranch is the same. The reason why we need four cowboys is mainly because of their cooperation. After all, the more animals there are, the more things we need to do. Basically Generally speaking, the cowboys don’t need you to divide and cooperate, they know what they know, just leave it to them.”

Lu Li suddenly realized and nodded. In fact, up to now, he still has limited understanding of the daily work of the cowboy. He feels that Cole is busy all the time. But when he thinks about it, he can't remember what Cole is busy with. From time to time, I watched Cole tidy up the utensils, and it took one or two hours to tidy up. Things seemed simple, but they were extremely cumbersome to execute.Perhaps, this is the ranch work, where countless trivial things are connected one by one.

"However, specific projects can be entrusted to them to take the lead. For example, Brandon is indeed an expert in raising horses, and his opinion is very important; for example, Jessica is very familiar with driving horses and herding cattle. , she really has a way of dealing with Angus cattle, so I can ask her to pay more attention on weekdays." Ronald's explanation is easy to understand, "Apart from cattle, sheep and horses, do you have any other plans for the ranch? Are you sure? After thinking about it, you can discuss it with Cole, and make specific arrangements for each cowboy's work priorities, and leave the rest to them to communicate with themselves, things are not that complicated."

Lu Li suddenly realized.When you think about it, the next thing you need to invest in is organic vegetables and vineyards. "I remember Lily saying that Randy's father was a good planter, is that true?"

"Yes, Old Johnson really has a way with potatoes and corn." Ronald nodded, "Why, do you plan to plant a large amount of corn and potatoes? The piece of land on the northeast side of your ranch is indeed relatively fertile. If you use it for horse racing That would be such a pity."

"I have this idea at the moment, but I need to look at it again." Lu Li didn't intend to rush things one by one. Now that the manpower is complete, he can finally start his hands and feet. "My most important job now is to put the sheep pen, Cow pens and stables updated, no? Can't wait for this job."

Ronald laughed and nodded, "It seems that you have already figured it out, which is a good thing."

Lu Li spread his hands and said with a smile, "Since we have already started, we must try our best to do our best, right?"
