Start by trimming cow hooves

When arriving near the cattle pen.

A little brown bear named Paddington trotted over happily in an instant. There were weeds on his head and he looked almost like a dull fur.

Suri was quite pleased.

He was muttering about fruits, seafood and meat for a month, spending hundreds of dollars on food, and even building a wooden bear house. It was not in vain to raise it, and he began to get to know his master.

Unexpectedly, the little bear cub turned a corner, ignored Suri, and ran towards Daju, still rolling on the ground, looking so naive.

The vengeful Daju still hadn't forgotten those hooves, so he stretched out his front legs and gave the little bear a few blows. The force was like scratching an itch, and his expression seemed a bit like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.

This little brown bear thought that Big Orange was playing with it, and suddenly became even happier.

What can Suri say.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he silently muttered something to the little white-eyed wolf, telling secretary Amanda:

"Otherwise, let's cut off the bear's balls. There are no other female bears on the island, so they won't be too aggressive on impulse. One cut will solve all the troubles. Don't throw them away after cutting them off. Dry them and use them to soak in wine. This thing It’s not easy to find, but it sells for a high price in my grandma’s dry goods store.”

Secretary Amanda blinked, not thinking about the little bear's happiness at all, and just said: "Otherwise, wait a little longer, they are too small."

Thinking it made sense, Suri replied: "Then wait a little longer and help me find a zoologist to find out what kind of bear it is."

It’s already the end of December.

When the lambs were delivered, they were about two or three months old. After being raised on the island for three months, some breeds of sheep have basically reached adulthood.

When I met the old cowboy Andy, he was changing the ear tags of Kuroge Wagyu cattle with his friend's son Clint.

The number on the cow's ear tag is equivalent to the ID card of each cow. Information such as which vaccines it has received and whether it is sick must be clearly recorded in categories.

In other pastures that are close to each other, cattle ear tags can also be used to determine the ownership of cattle.

There is only Lanai Ranch on Lanai Island, so there are no worries in this regard. An ordinary beef cow is often worth thousands of dollars, and cattle theft is common in some places.

After some conversation.

Knowing that Suri was going to roast a whole lamb tonight, Clint volunteered, took off his apron and said with a smile:

"Boss, let me help you deal with that sheep! Another thing, until the day before Christmas, old Andy and I will come to visit, but the hotel has no spare rooms. There are several suites. They said they were reserved by you, boss, to entertain guests. Are they useful now? I can pay for them. My parents always stay in motels when traveling. This time I want them to have fun for a few days."

Suri reserved the room in advance just in case an acquaintance or friend found him and wanted to travel to Lanai during the holidays.

For example, when he was in Silicon Valley, Zuckerberg wanted to come over for a trip. As a close business partner, he agreed to lend the other party a yacht, which obviously gave him enough face.

After hearing what Clint said, Suri said cheerfully: "Of course, no problem. How many rooms do you need?"

Secretary Amanda also said:

"I will say hello to the hotel manager Kona, but I have agreed in advance that the number of tourists staying in the hotel has far exceeded the reception capacity. Activities such as SPA, Thai massage, Vietnamese facial cleansing, snorkeling and other activities are probably all reserved. If it is not installed, it will affect the living experience.”

Lanai is dealing with the tourist season for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be some things that are not done well. Even if you are prepared in advance, it is still difficult to satisfy everyone.

Clint didn't care about that and said with a smile:

"It's no problem if you have a place to live. My father just wants to go fishing. Some residents in Lanai Town rent out their spare rooms to backpackers, and the business seems to be very good."

The Four Seasons Hotel can no longer accommodate them, so there is no need to prevent the residents of the town from making a fortune.

In Suri's private territory, most attractions and recreational facilities require the purchase of a same-day package to enter. In addition, boat tickets, shuttle buses, restaurants, shops, etc. can also help him contribute some profits.

Old cowboy Andy told:

"My daughter and son-in-law just want to come and visit me. There are still free rooms at home. Let's rent the hotel rooms to others."

Su Rui shook his head and smiled:

"It doesn't matter. If I have friends coming over, let them set up tents and camp instead of resting in the wild. It may be more popular with them. I will reserve two rooms for you for free."

Except old Andy and Clint are outsiders.

Almost all other employees of the ranch live in Lanai Town, so of course there is no need to reserve a hotel.

The land in Lanai Town was originally not valuable, and every household lived in a bungalow or small building with a single courtyard, and the indoor space was relatively spacious.

Compared with expensive hotels, just let your relatives and friends stay in your own home. You can save hundreds of dollars a day, which is economical and affordable.

Seeing what old Andy wanted to say, Suri took the lead and added:

"That's it, treat it as a Christmas gift from me, you're welcome. Massage and the like don't matter, snorkeling is still very beautiful, I will tell Thalia and try to arrange time to take them to the sea."

Clint listened happily and said with emotion:

"If I had known that when I first came to Lanai, I should have bought a house in the town. Those tourists are so crazy. I heard in the bar that even old houses that had been abandoned for decades were being bought and planned to be completely demolished and rebuilt. Come on vacation.”

Having never cared about this aspect, Su Rui asked curiously: "Doesn't this mean that the house prices in Lanai Town have increased?"

Old Andy nodded:

"I also heard others talk about it in the bar, saying that in the past two months, there has been an increase of almost 20%. Some locals also want to take the opportunity to sell their houses and move to Maui or Oahu to settle down, especially some Young people, they like a lively life.”

As for liveliness, Suri also likes it.

If he could really endure loneliness, he would never go out every now and then and leave Lanai.

It can only be said that the atmosphere of Lanai is quite suitable for vacation, retirement, and living in isolation. However, at about eight o'clock every night, everything becomes quiet, and the island residents begin to prepare to go to bed.

Not to mention carnival parties, even pubs will close at around ten o'clock in the evening.

This kind of life has been a bit torturous for Suri, who has lived in Los Angeles since he was a child, so he can understand why young people want to move away.

Secretary Amanda reminded Suri:

"When you acquired this place, you also took over a number of properties and land in the town. Why don't you sell them while the market is good now?"

Su Rui decisively refused and said with a smile:

"The development of Lanai has just started. What if it becomes a resort in the future and the house becomes more and more valuable? Anyway, the price is not high, so there is no need to sell it now. Due to the impact of subprime mortgages, housing prices in the United States have collapsed. Currently, it is only suitable to buy a house. , not suitable for selling a house.”

Secretary Amanda just said it casually, and when she saw the little bear cub pulling at her skirt, she quickly stayed away from it.

No matter how small a brown bear is, it is still a bear.

If you get bitten, how can you show off your legs and seduce men?
