315 turned upside down
Lu Li looked at the panting figures in front of him, everyone looked out of breath, he couldn't help frowning, and said teasingly, "What's wrong with all of you?" Why do they look like they have just finished a marathon? ”
"That's a question we should ask you!" Randy said with a look of surprise, "Why did you get out of the helicopter?" When did you get back? You flew in from Austin? Or did you fly in from New York? Aren't you supposed to drive, no, should you have asked Cole to pick you up? What's going on with this helicopter? ”
"Yes, yes. www.biquge.info Toni walked up excitedly, a little incoherent because he was too excited, "Helicopter, what's the matter, what about us?" However, helicopters, I also want to make helicopters. Brandon, Brandon, what do you say? Fourteen, what happened to you in New York? Wait, are you coming from New York? ”
Bustling and chattering, everyone's expressions were extremely excited, and Jessica and Justin simply walked over and stood next to the helicopter, curiously peeking inside.
The helicopter pilot suddenly became embarrassed and sat in the driver's seat, not knowing what to do.
Lu Li looked at everyone's actions, smiled dumbly, and then gave up his position, "If you want to take a ride, you can take turns to go up, everyone can sit for a while, and only three people can be taken at a time." ”
"Wow!" In an instant, everyone except Cole flocked to it, and the atmosphere was so lively.
Cole came to Lu Li's side and asked curiously, "Hourly rent?" ”
Lu Li showed a big smile, "Yes." Every time I ask you to pick me up from the airport, it's a hassle to go back and forth. Originally, I wanted to rent a car at the airport and come back, but then at the airport, someone handed me a business card, saying that it was within the range of Texas, and you could fly, just like a taxi. ”
Looking at the group of friends in front of him, he began to rock-paper-scissors to decide who would take the helicopter first. Everything was a familiar taste, and Lu Li couldn't help but laugh, "He seems to have gotten used to the rhythm here?" ”
Needless to say, Ke Er knew that Lu Li was talking about Li Yitong, "It's not bad, he has adapted to it now." You'd never believe it, he's the best friend of Edward right now, the two of them greet a few friends every week, go to the Sunset Bar for drinks and billiards, and look more like a small-town guy than I am. ”
"Oh, I'm not sure that's good news." Lu Li's panicked expression made Cole laugh heartily.
Then Cole curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "What about you?" Are you okay? ”
"Me? Nice, everything was fine. Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, but Cole's gaze still didn't leave, and Lu Li could only explain further, "I'm serious. The wine is progressing well, the horse farm experience is perfect, London is good, and New York is good. By the way, in the next period of time, when the ranch is ready, we can officially start receiving guests, and I did a bit of publicity in New York, and it should work well. ”
"The ranch is ready." Cole pointed behind him, and then the helicopter in front of him started again, and the rapid rotation of the propeller caused the air wave to make everyone reflexively bend down, their ears roared, and the pores of their bodies were opened, there was an indescribable pleasure.
It's a wonderful feeling to see the whole world from a helicopter, especially with the cloud ranch at your feet.
The vast woods were endless, and their hike was just the tip of the iceberg; On the vast grassland, a crystal river meanders like a jade belt, merging into the emerald lake, even in the sky, you can feel the refreshing water vapor in the air; White sheep, brown cattle, and green beech forests are dotted among the emerald greenery like waves, and the waves are magnificent and beautiful.
Overlooking from above, Cloud Top Ranch is truly beautiful.
After watching the helicopter go into the air, Lu Li turned around, stood on the ground with his feet, admiring the land, and now his appearance has been turned upside down, and Lu Li is almost unrecognizable.
Two two-storey wooden villas sit quietly in place, similar in style but slightly different, surrounded by a small flower bed with velvety cornflowers and blue hat flowers, which surround the house, and the mellow and deep blue has a thrilling beauty.
Between the two villas, a row of low saplings is planted, stretching from the direction of the beech forest, surrounded by lush trees and contrasting with the lake not far away, and the ubiquitous oxygen factor makes the surroundings full of vitality, as if walking through a wonderful fairyland.
The entrance to the ranch has been moved, and it is now between the villa and the lake, the clearing where the helicopter had just landed. The spatial structure of the entire ranch seems to have changed.
If you go in the direction of the main house, you will see the main house that has changed dramatically.
The original main body of the main house has not changed, but the location of the original warehouse has disappeared and has been replaced by a glass flower house. It's just that at the moment it is empty, there is nothing at all, waiting to be filled slowly, and there are three rows of beech trees planted next to it, which are still relatively young and not fully stretched, but have formed a small green shade.
After the main house, you can see the huge warehouse, standardized and neat, classified, now the warehouse doors are closed, you can't see the scene inside, only the next warehouse door docked a seeding machine, revealing the daily activities here, you can imagine the orderly work arrangement.
A little later, the sheepfolds, cattle pens, and stables had been tinkered with and looked new, but after a closer inspection, there was no reason for this.
Not only that, but to the north of the stables, two new stables were built, one for breeding horses and the other for thoroughbreds.
Lu Li originally thought that the speed might not be so fast, after all, they only called back in mid-August to explain, and at that time, the ranch renovation work was not completed, and the work of setting up the stables would take more time. Unexpectedly, Edward's construction team was so efficient that the work was successfully completed in the end.
A little further past the stables, there is a large open space, with different kinds of weeds planning empty spaces, which is now the new parking lot of the ranch. Compared to the previous parking lot, the parking lot is not only larger, but also more orderly. That's a good thing.
The only thing that has not changed is the original wine cellar, which is still the retro and simple room, the dark brown wooden planks seem to have undergone countless trials and rains, and you can even see the cobwebs under the eaves, but it is precisely this simplicity and primitiveness that reminds Lu Li of those small wineries in Burgundy.
"I think we're done renovating the ranch now." Cole looked at the ranch that showed a new atmosphere, and his mood was a little mixed.
On the one hand, traces of beech pastures are gradually decreasing; But on the other hand, the characteristics of Cloud Peak Ranch are gradually taking shape. Fortunately, the traces of the Liz are still preserved, especially the taste of home.
Lu Li didn't speak, just quietly looked at the ranch he had planned. Under Vivian's design, even though the ranch was heavily constructed, it still maintained its original flavor, but Lu Li was not sure whether the ranch, which was becoming more and more lively, would still be able to find that peace of mind.
This is a topic about the future, and no one can answer.
Lu Li hopes that he can persevere, not forgetting the original intention of coming to Texas, and not forgetting the appearance of taking over this ranch from Liz.
"How's the work going since Brandon came back?" Lu Li looked at the new stable not far away, but did not hear the neighing, and guessed that the thoroughbred should be relaxing in the racetrack.
"It's a little tight, even tighter than before." Cole's answer made Lu Li raise his eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Can it be tighter?" ”
Cole couldn't help but laugh, "I'm surprised, too. But, I can't deny it, I'm also a little nervous. After all, that's the ranch's greatest asset. To be exact, this is the most expensive asset I've ever had in my life. ”
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and said with a sloppy face, "This is the first time for all of us. ”
Because of the tedious and complicated care of the horses, Brandon has always been the most industrious one on the ranch, waking up early and sleeping late every day, even preparing breakfast, and even during the day, he could not be quiet and rest. Now that the thoroughbreds have arrived, Brandon's job is even more tedious, and everything is brand new and needs to be explored from scratch.
"Are the White Cross and Jasmine in okay?" Lu Li's first thought was, could it be that horses also have jet lag? And there is still water and soil adaptation?
"The professional staff at Kumo Racecourse stayed here for a week to help get used to it. They only left the day before yesterday. So, now the little ones have gotten used to it. Cole explained, which made Lu Li suddenly realize. It seems that the high cost still pays off.
"I think Brandon might need an assistant, though. Not only because of thoroughbreds, but now the workload has also increased. After the Cowboy Convention, breeding will begin, and Brandon may not have time to sleep. Cole paused, then added, "Jasmin's due date is next month. ”
Lu Li almost forgot about it, Brandon was willing to work at Cloud Peak Ranch because Jasmin was pregnant. After conceiving in September, it is finally time for the melons to ripen. This also means that Brandon will be busier in the next three months.
It's not the best time.
In fact, what Lu Li was thinking about was giving Brandon a holiday. After all, this is Brandon's first child, and he is bound to want to spend time with Jasmin and the child.
"I see." Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "There are still vineyards, has Tony decided when to pick?" ”
