107 Construction is imminent
Randy is cleaning up the scraps from the organic farm, Brandon is re-unclogging the drains in the cattle pen, Cole is repairing the roof of the sheepfold, and Jessica is in charge of the day's farm work - feeding the animals, cleaning the fence, and so on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Lu Li came back from the walk, the cleaning up of the ranch was going on in an orderly manner, and then he found that Fred had already returned, and he was busy with Jessica, and he didn't even have time to deal with Lu Li.
"Cole, is everything alright?" Lu Li shouted, Cole, who was standing on the roof of the sheepfold, turned his head and made an "OK" gesture, and things went very smoothly, "That's good, it seems that I have no use for force." Lu Li said with a smile.
"I need a little help. Vivian's voice came from behind, and then Lu Li saw Vivian holding a design blueprint in her hand, and walked over with a cheerful face, "I drew the design drawings overnight last night, and now the design of the villa is not yet completed, but we can start from the main house first." ”
"You mean, start with the warehouse?" Lu Li stood in place, smiling to welcome Vivian's arrival, after receiving Vivian's affirmative answer, "But have you ever thought about where you will sleep after the cowboy dormitory is demolished?" and your friends?"
Vivien's smile couldn't help but stiffen on her lips, stunned, "...... I...... Didn't think about it. ”
It's embarrassing. Lu Li laughed, "The shortcomings of typical fresh graduates, lack of practicality. ”
Vivien's face darkened suddenly, and she argued, "It's okay with practicality, it's just that the order of practical use is a little off." ”
"We can start with the villa first, and then renovate the main house after the villa is built, step by step, without rushing. Lu Li also thought about this problem last night, the transformation is imperative, but we still have to take into account daily life, "We have enough time, not to mention, planting beech forests is also a long-term work." "In order not to destroy the original natural environment of the pasture, in order to ensure the original flavor of the pasture, it is natural that the transformation should not be rushed.
"It's an option. Vivien shrugged, "So...... I started the design of the villa after lunch. Vivien regained her excitement as she remembered the three villas of the same style but with very different details, "Now let me introduce you to the renovation of the main house and the warehouse, and I will try to preserve the original ......style as much as possible."
Lu Li stood beside Vivien, watching her point out.
The adjustment of the main house and the warehouse is indeed not large, focusing on practicality, making full use of the space, looking simple and natural, but it has a unique taste. As a layman, Lu Li can't say why, but he thinks that this design is very good. "I like the idea. ”
"Planting a tree, or swinging?" asked Vivienne.
"Whole. Lu Li circled the piece, "Whole." ”
Since the organic farm is now in operation, the vegetable patch next to the main house is no longer useful. Vivien plans to turn this vegetable plot into a garden as well, planting a low wall of lilac trees, then planting a large tree in the corner and setting up a swing. It's simply the home of your dreams.
Lu Li's favorite is the banyan tree, not only because the banyan tree has lush branches, as if it can envelop the whole world, sitting under the shade of the tree in summer, setting up a hanging net bed, bathing in the trivial sunlight to take a nap, the small day is really pleasant, but also because the banyan tree is an evergreen tree all year round, even in the lonely winter, it is also a touch of verdant.
It's just that I don't know if the soil here in Texas is suitable for planting banyan trees, and the real old banyan trees may not be able to be bought with money.
"Haha, this reaffirms that you are a guy who knows how to enjoy life. Vivien had a "I've seen through you" expression, "But I like it." I have the design of the villa in my mind right now, and trust me, you will definitely like it. ”
Vivien couldn't wait to return to her room and begin designing the blueprint for the villa. However, not long after she entered, she walked out again, only to see that she had moved a small table and chair to the porch, and then moved the computer out, followed by two packets of potato chips and a cup of coffee......
Noticing Lu Li's surprised eyes, Vivien shrugged her shoulders slightly, "I'm on vacation right now, even if it's work, at least let me enjoy such a beautiful scenery." When I went back to Boston, I couldn't see that. ”
"I thought Boston would always be your favorite city. Lu Li joked, the subtext is to say: Do you think it's better here now.
Vivien picked up a bag of potato chips and raised her hand in surrender, with an expression of "refusing to comment", such a simple action made Lu Li laugh.
Leaving room for Vivien to work, Lu Li returned to the sheepfold, Cole had already walked down, "It's over?"
"It's all over. Cole began to pack up the rest of his tools, "There will be no problems in the future. ”
"Last night was fine. Lu Li patted Cole on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Vivien is now drawing drawings for the transformation of the ranch, and construction will start soon." Do you know where to find the construction team, or do you just call the construction company?"
This piece of land is completely unfamiliar, what is New York like, what is Texas like, there is no concept at all, and I didn't touch on this part when I was a reporter intern before.
"Uh...... It's been a long time since we've had anyone break ground here, and I don't know. Cole thought about it for a moment.
"I watched the movie like this, the foreman went to the Mexican gathering place, nodded the head, and then formed a construction team, and the team members were different every day......
Lu Li tried to describe the memories in his mind, which caused Kir to laugh out loud, and shook his head again and again in denial, "No, no, that's not how it works. ”
"Isn't it?" Lu Li looked suffocated.
"It's not. Cole chuckled, "We have our own construction team here, and we also have our own construction company, you ...... in town" Before the words were finished, Cole denied his own words, "By the way, you can just ask Sean directly, he is more familiar with this aspect." ”
"Sean?" Lu Li was a little surprised, "I thought he was just a rancher who raised cattle professionally. The sale of wool was introduced by Sean, and there were almost no twists and turns, and Lu Li earned the first official income from the ranch very smoothly.
"He is. Cole nodded wildly, his hands flipped over, and he gestured indistinctly, "But he has a lot of connections, and he may not be able to help, but there is no problem in providing information, and it may save a lot of trouble, you know......" Cole's meaningful gaze fell on Lu Li.
Lu Li spread his hands and rolled his eyes helplessly, "I know, I'm a foreigner, I'm a foreigner." ”
"Don't worry, I don't mind. Cole also made a joke.
"My arms are open to you. Lu Li really opened his hands, making Ke Er directly dumbfounded, "Haha." If I don't talk about it, I'll go talk to Sean now, and then talk to the construction team, and they're going to come here to talk to Vivien. Vivien is also in the middle of a graduation project and can't stay on the ranch for too long, so she needs to hurry.
"What, now?" Cole said in surprise, and just when Lu Li thought there was something going on in the ranch, Cole continued, "What about the buns? Didn't you say okay, make buns today?"
A bunch of foodies.
"Buns can wait for the afternoon. Lu Li ignored Cole, turned around and left, and Cole's unwilling voice came from behind him, "Then you come back early, I'll wait for you." ”
Lu Li walked towards his bird of prey without looking down, got into the car, and listened to the roaring engine, which was really different from the wild horse.
After that moving dinner, Lu Li and Jessica also went to Sean's ranch once - escorting a batch of buns over to express their gratitude. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? Bun diplomacy is a different way.
Lu Li followed the path of memory and successfully found the ranch of the Sean family, his ranch was larger than the Yundian ranch, and the entire ranch was all cattle raising, which was one of the largest cattle ranches near the town. He has signed cooperation agreements with several large supermarkets in Texas to deliver fresh beef on a regular basis, and business is booming.
Hearing the sound of birds of prey, Sean rode out on horseback, he had divorced a few years ago, his children were all in school in Austin, and their mother lived with them, and only came back every other weekend, so he was now alone - and, of course, the cowboys.
Sean rode over slowly, "Every time I see this big guy, I still can't help but marvel, what a good boy." Sean patted the Raptor on the hood, "Driving him around here really attracts attention." ”
"Don't covet my children. Lu Li patted the driver's door, as if to expel the intruder.
Sean laughed, "You look a bit of a Texas cowboy now." Lu Li nodded his cowboy hat and thanked him in the way of cowboys, Sean nodded, looking very satisfied, "What happened today?" Sean asked directly, "It just so happens that the buns last time have been eaten, if you don't come, I'm still thinking about when I will go over to you again." ”
"Do I look like I open a steamed bun shop?" Lu Li directly retorted teasingly, Sean spread his hands, a "you are" look, so that Lu Li almost choked on his own saliva, "I came here today to ask about your construction team, the ranch plans to be renovated and adjusted." ”
"Massive?" Sean raised an eyebrow.
"Well, so to speak. Lu Li nodded, "I plan to build three more houses next to the main house, but all of them are made of wood to keep them close to nature, and then the main house and warehouse also need to be readjusted." ”
"You go to Edward of the Williams family, they came from a construction background, Edward has now inherited the mantle, and he and Jimmy are both excellent carpenters. Sean didn't hesitate and blurted out the idea, "You tell them the scale of the project, and they'll put together a team and do all the work." In terms of quotation, rest assured, they are very fair, and the McCartney family is a world friend with them, so they may be able to give your family a discount. ”
