Glitter was not so optimistic, and took the whiskey and killed it in one gulp, Li Han felt a little more curious. Gretel, as a horse-drawn carriage rental driver in the small town of Bandora, does not have a deep relationship with St. Andrew's Farm.
But now, for the sake of the name of St. Andrew's Farm, this hearty old cowboy coachman, has such a sad expression. "The relationship between the small town of Bandora and St. Andre's Farm is much more complicated than I thought. ”
Li Han chatted without a word, chatting and chatting, Li Han pulled the topic to Bandorf. "Bandorf, that's the poor fellow. Gretel said.
"Pity?" Li Han looked at Gretel with a puzzled expression.
Gretel, said. "Bandorf used to be the best horse trainer in all of Kotula, and even in all of Southeastern Texas. ”
"Really?" Li Han was surprised, he didn't expect that Bandorf was really the rumored powerful horse trainer, but why, it would fall to this point.
Gretel didn't let Li Han wait long, pouring beans, and Bandorf said what happened. At the end of the day, it's St. Andrew's Farm, which is a nearly sixty-year-old farm, that has gone wrong.
As the farm goes through the third generation, the farm enters the advanced age of fifty, and the farm grows, it seems that the third generation of farm heirs needs something to change. With some rule changes, St. Ann's Farm has increased the number of cattle and sheep, and the pasture situation has not been seen a few days ago, but with the drought, the pasture problem has become prominent.
But with two years of insect plagues, droughts, and then financial crises, and two years of drought, it can be said that disasters do not go alone. After the financial crisis, the problems of St. Andrea's Farm became more and more prominent, with successive droughts, St. Andrea's Farm, which owed huge loans, and the closure of the hugely expensive horse farm, and then just like the United States in the financial crisis, one problem after another. The cattle and sheep were sold, the cowboys were reduced, and in the end they were sold until only a few hundred heads remained, and the cowboys, only a few people remained, until last year, and finally St. Andrew's Farm could not support it.
Bandorf, the first batch of St. Andrew's Farms, dismissed employees, horse trainers at the horse farm. After listening to this, Li Han asked the doubts in his heart. "Bandorf is famous, and I don't think it's difficult to get a job as a horse trainer. ”
"How is this possible, Bandorf has been working in St. Anndi's for almost thirty years. Gretel said.
Glitter looked at Li Han with a look of surprise, as if he was shocked by Li Han's words. "Bandorf would rather starve to death in the small town of Bandora than find a second farm. A young man said. "It's ridiculous. ”
"Damn boy. Gretel, looking at the young man who was about to leave after speaking, gritted his teeth.
Li Han suddenly understood a little bit about the small town of Bandora, why, has been maintaining the habits of decades ago, only the telephone, and other than that, there are not even other technological products. Traditional, old-fashioned, Li Han glanced at the young man who was leaving and scolded Gretel.
"Perhaps, this is the only way to be the real Bandora town. Suddenly, Li Han felt as if he should do something.
"Gretel, have another drink, and perhaps, St. Andrew's Farm will be fine. Li Han said with a smile. "Bandorf, you shouldn't be buried like this. ”
Gretel, holding his glass. "Bless Bandorf. ”
As he spoke, he drained the whiskey from his glass. "Thank you, Han, it's time for me to work, I'll invite you tomorrow. With that, he left the bar.
Li Han, paid for the wine, and asked the bartender. "I don't know, who was that young man just now?"
"Ah, Mr. Gretel's son. ”
"What?"
Li Han exclaimed, he didn't expect it at all.
"Perhaps, these are two generations. "Li Han, suddenly think of the rural areas in China, the same two generations of people with different ideas, it's very interesting to think about.
Out of the bar, Li Han, planning to find Pandora a few, and go to see Bandorf by the way. St. Andrew's Farm, the problem, Li Han has some bottom in his heart, capital is a problem, Stanley's investment in the farm is not for development, but more to make money.
Li Han wondered if he could scrape together some money and buy St. Andrew's Farm. "Truffles, the next batch should be out, last year several truffle producing areas in France reduced production, perhaps, this time we can sell more. ”
Thirty million to fifty million, Li Han thinks about the income of Hank's farm. "There is still more than 50 million short. "I almost forgot that those paintings, if they were auctioned, the money was enough. Li Han said.
St. Andrew's Farm, the purchase idea has been decided, Li Han, the pace has accelerated. "I'm really sorry to bother, I'm Li Han who just moved to the town. ”
"Hello, Mr. Li. ”
"Dad. ”
The little man, his little ears moved, and when he heard his father's voice, he hurriedly stood up and ran over. "Grandpa Kerry, this is Daddy. The little man took Li Han's big hand, and the little pride introduced to Crane Brown.
Kerry smiled. "Yes, Mr. Li and I already know each other. ”
"Thank you. ”
Li Han walked into the courtyard. "What a beautiful yard. ”
"Thank you. Kerry said with a smile. "Bandorf, have a cup of coffee. ”
"Okay, Mr. Kerry. "Bandorf, clapping your hands and standing up.
Kerry, making coffee, with some small snacks, cookies and egg tarts, came out.
A couple of villains, washed their hands. "It's delicious, thank you Grandpa Kerry. ”
"How's the vegetable garden doing?" Li Han picked up his coffee and asked the villain.
"It's almost there. Dudu said. "Grandpa Kerry has set up a vegetable ring and a shelf. ”
The soil in Bandora is not very suitable for growing vegetables, but since Pandora came, the problem has been solved, and the little greens grown by the little ones taste no worse than the greens brought from the small town of Cotula.
Gradually, the town of Bandora has a little legend that the new girl will find a vegetable garden, well, in the face of the expensive vegetables of Kotura, many choose to open up a vegetable garden of their own. The villain's business has improved a lot, and now there are more than 10 registered vegetable gardens.
This is a lot of money, Bandorf, envious, to the villain, how to find the soil suitable for vegetables, to determine what place is suitable for growing vegetables, Bandorf is a hundred curious, but unfortunately, the Pandora villain does not tell him.
As for determining the vegetable garden, well, Pandora always has to register first, and plant vegetables three days later, in the middle, Li Han estimates that the villain uses the space spring water. "Thank you for your kindness. Li Han said. "It's time for us to work. ”
With Li Han joining in the construction of the Keri vegetable garden, the speed has obviously increased a lot, Bandorf, I didn't expect Li Han to be so skilled in growing vegetables, is this a farmer, but it doesn't look like it. Maybe because of the relationship between the Chinese, Bandorf, thought.
Vegetables and vegetables, Li Han carried buckets and tools, took a few villains, walked out of Kerry's small courtyard, and took a carriage back to Li Han's house. Bandorf parked the carriage and was going back. "Bandorf, have time to talk. Lehan called Bandorf.
"Let's talk?"
"That's right, talking while drinking?"
"No problem. Bandorf, at last, realized that Han was going to invite him to drink, perhaps because he drove well.
Bar, bartender, seeing Li Han and Bandorf, walked in, there was a little more surprise in his eyes, more than an hour ago, Li Hangang and Gretel had drunk, at this time, he actually invited the drunkard Bandorf, this Chinese can't spend more money.
Now the Chinese are so rich, the bartender muttered to himself. "Hey, Paul, two whiskeys. ”
"Yes, sir, please wait a minute. So saying, Paul took two cups.
When Bandorf saw Paul take out the whiskey, he was overjoyed, it was thirty-five dollars a bottle, which was much better than what he usually drank. "It's really good wine. ”
"Paul gave me a bottle. ”
Li Han, said.
Paul nodded and handed it to Li Han, who then smiled and poured a glass for Bandorf. "Bandorf, yes, how about another drink?"
"What a generous gentleman you are. "Bandorf, with an excited face.
Li Han smiled. "Bandorf, maybe you should find a job, like a horse trainer?"
"Nope. Bandorf did not think about it at all, exclaimed.
Li Han paused slightly, and Bandorf didn't seem to like to be mentioned too much. "Thank you for the wine, I thought, it's time for me to go back. ”
"Sir, don't train your horse in front of Bandorf. Paul, the bartender, said.
“why?”
"Unless St. Andrew's Farm reopens the horse farm. Paul said. "That's a stubborn guy. ”
"That's right, a stubborn man. Li Han said with a smile. "Save this bottle of wine for me. ”
"No problem. ”
Li Han paid the money and returned home, Natalie, seeing Li Han coming back, came over with a fart. "Han, I heard Pandora say, you invited Bandorf to drink?"
"That's right. ”
Li Han nodded and took the coffee. "Good cooking. ”
"Alta cooked. Natalie smiled. "Han, Bandorf, is it really the famous horse trainer?"
"That's right. ”
Li Han nodded.
"It's unbelievable that the guy who can shoot a little kid's ass and give up his dignity for money is actually a horse trainer. Natalie, looking incredulous.
"Give up your dignity?" Li Han smiled. "No, Natalie, that's the kind of person who values dignity as life. ”
"Hey, Han, is there a story? Natalie came interested.
Li Han told Natalie what Gretel said. "Really, it's incredible that there are people like this. ”
"yes, it's unbelievable. Li Han said.
"Han, you're not going to buy St. Andrew's Farm, are you?" Natalie, seeing Li Han's expression of emotion, suddenly exclaimed.
You must know that after getting along with Li Han for a long time, Natalie has some understanding of Li Han's character.
"Buy a farm?" Alta, who had already brewed a coffee cup and Natalie served it to Han Li, but Alta had to make another cup.
Li Han smiled and didn't speak.
"Sure enough, Han, you really plan to buy St. Ann's Farm, I have heard that the pasture of St. Ann's Farm has been almost completely destroyed, and the farm planting area, because of the drought for many years, the wheat yield has been extremely reduced, and the soil needs to be fallow to adjust, at least three to five years. Natalie said. "Mr. Stanley, enough time, Han, are you going to wait three or five years. ”
"Huh. ”
Li Han looked full of confidence, although the problem of St. Andi, although it is quite serious, for Li Han, it is not impossible to solve, but the cost is greater.
