453 The harvest begins

Lu Li still remembers that when he was very young, there were paddy fields at home, in which rice was grown. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info every time it is time to harvest, the whole family will go to work in the fields - except for Lu Huaijin, there is no use for scholars. If there are not enough people, the next door neighbors will come to help, and everyone will stagger the harvest date with each other, you help me, I help you, and the whole harvest season is extremely busy.

Standing on the ridge of the paddy field, you can see everyone rolling up their trouser legs, stepping on the field one deep and one shallow, the stagnant water has been released, only the soft and muddy soil is left but not completely dried up, the heavy, golden rice is going down the head, the full fruit is almost touching the ground, the large golden yellow shines in the sun, like a raging flame, magnificent, and then everyone works seriously, the hot scene exudes sweat and dampness and vitality.

It was an unforgettable picture of Lu Li, closing his eyes, his calves seemed to still be able to feel the itching of the rice ears, and the wings of his nose seemed to be able to smell the dry and hot air, and suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in his ears, it looked like someone had fallen directly in the paddy field, stuck in the muddy soil, and couldn't stand up.

Lu Li originally thought that harvesting kale would also be like this. Because the grape harvest is a completely manual process, the hard work is full of fatigue and satisfaction.

But he was clearly wrong. The scene of the kale harvest is five harvesters, hula la, and then a large field of kale is harvested, leaving only a barren air, neat and clean, without much effort.

Of course, it's a spectacular spectacle, but it's a different kind of sight.

The roar of the engines of the five harvesters shook the sky, and occasionally you could see some grass clippings flying in the air, and the dust flying in the sky was like a playful elf in the wilderness forest, walking through the thin golden morning light, and the fresh smell of the soil and fresh grass made the air fresh and pleasant, like a classical symphony, the tide surged.

Lu Li was worried that he would not be able to complete it in one day, but now it seems that it will not take a morning, and it will be possible to complete the harvest in three hours at most. Now Lu Li finally understands why Graham of Whole Foods says 100 acres is too little.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the whole food supermarket truck fleet arrived at the top of the cloud ranch on time, the fully enclosed large trucks, a full sixty-five, lined up in the open space of the top of the cloud ranch, the magnificent scene, it looks like a Transformers movie.

Graham and Michael stepped out of one of the vans and led the whole team as if they were filming an inferior version of a Hollywood blockbuster, bustling towards the main house. Corr and his team had already set up a tent next to the beech forest, set up a rest area, equipped with drinking water and snacks, so that the drivers of the convoy could have a good rest.

Lu Li greeted him and expressed his welcome, but when he saw Michael's figure, he couldn't help laughing, and said in a loud voice, "Why are you again?" But the roar around was really noisy, Michael didn't hear it at all, pointed to his ear, signaled, Lu Li increased his voice and leaned over, "Why are you here again?" If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be anything for you today, right?"

"I'm here to wholesale. Michael's expression was still the same calm and stiff, and he explained in the loudest volume, "I know I'll see your kale on the shelves of Whole Foods tomorrow, but I really can't wait." Can I still wholesale a batch here today? Fresh, freshly picked. ”

Lu Li turned his head to look at Graham, revealing an incredulous expression, as if to say, "I heard you right, right?"

Graham spread his hands, smiled a little more helplessly, and nodded in affirmation.

"Well, I now finally know why Graham is working with us at all costs. Lu Li spread his hands and said with a smile, "Michael is the answer." I knew I should have raised the price again. Lu Li's suffocating expression on his face successfully made Michael laugh out loud.

Lu Li was stunned, Michael's laughter was really different from ordinary people, only those jokes about fitness could cause Michael's reaction.

Graham, who was standing next to him, deliberately made a frightened expression and patted his chest, "Next time, next time." ”

The palpitating appearance is really vivid, it can be seen that he is now proud of the spring breeze, and he is full of confidence in this batch of kale in Yunding Ranch, not only that, but also defeated several major competitors and won this cooperation, which makes him even more satisfied.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Michael's stubborn temper came again, and he said persistently.

Lu Li opened his mouth and smiled dumbly, and the words of argument did not come out in the end, because he knew that Michael would not care about those humorous jokes, and would only focus on one result, "Yes, of course you can." Lu Li nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "We will leave a small part, the ranch will eat it by itself, and you can wholesale a part." ”

Michael nodded contentedly, and even clenched his fists excitedly, at this moment, there is no demeanor of a top fitness trainer at all, but like a child harvesting toys.

"I thought Whole Foods would send someone in charge of this, aren't you management?" Ignoring Michael, Lu Li turned his head to look at Graham.

Graham smiled, "Andre, who specializes in this area, can't wait to meet you, but the other two suppliers have been hit by a blizzard, and there are some supply problems, and he has to rush over in person." So I came over anyway. After all, this is the first time, and acquaintances are still more convenient. ”

Lu Li showed a sudden realization expression, this winter, the whole of North America is suffering from a cold wave, not to mention the East Coast, even the prices of fresh vegetables and fruits in Texas are skyrocketing. "There's always a chance in the future. At the very least, I'm looking forward to more opportunities. ”

After the laughter, Lu Li looked back at the drivers who were sitting down one after another in the rest area, everyone was waiting to load the goods, and Finley, Tony, and Adam were in charge of the reception. With the exception of Brandon, who is in charge of the day-to-day running of the ranch, everyone at the ranch is involved in the day's main event.

"Are you going to go over and have a look?" Lu Li pointed in the direction of the organic farm, which was now in full swing.

"That's great. Michael responded positively, which made Graham spread his hands and look helpless, "He's more positive than I am." I have no reason to refuse. ”

"Are you going to walk over or ride a horse? Last time it was walking, right?" Lu Li has now gradually adapted to his status as the owner of the ranch, which can be regarded as a rehearsal for the resort to receive guests in the future.

Lu Li took Michael and Graham and walked in the direction of the beech forest, and only after a few steps, there was a call behind him, "Fourteen! fourteen?" This made Lu Li's footsteps stop, turned around, and then saw Lily who opened the car door and walked down.

Lu Li greeted him and welcomed him with a smile, "Lily, why are you here?" Therefore, Lu Li did not seek help from Lily and Ronald.

Lily chuckled twice and jokingly said, "I'm here to eat, and I've heard that the vegetables from the ranch are going to be freshly harvested again." However, the joke was just a joke, and the smile didn't fall into her eyes, and she then looked at the lively crowd behind her and asked tentatively, "Are you busy right now?"

Lu Li could hear the hidden meaning in Lily's words, obviously there was something going on, he looked back at Michael and Graham, and showed an apologetic expression, "Sorry, I need a little time here." Graham smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was fine.

Lu Li looked left and right, and then raised his voice and said, "Tony, can you please take them to Randy's to have a look?"

Tony made an "OK" gesture, took the initiative to step forward, and introduced himself, and the atmosphere became lively in a blink of an eye, and then Lu Li heard Tony shouting, "Who wants to visit the ranch with us?

This living treasure-like words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Lu Li retracted his gaze reassuringly, and then walked to Lily's side, "Let's go to the house, it's too noisy outside." Lu Li and Lily entered the main house side by side, the little ones all went out to join in the fun, and the main house was quiet, "Have you had breakfast?

"Milk bar. Lily sat down on the couch in the hall, she now had her own seat at Cloud Ranch, and every time she came over, she sat in the direction of the kitchen, next to a low cabinet with all kinds of books stacked on it, and when she looked up at the kitchen, she liked it.

Lu Li went to the kitchen and fetched a glass of hot milk, and then walked over, "It's been a while since breakfast ended, and it's warm now, okay?"

Lily took the glass, "That's the best." After taking a small sip, his expression relaxed, "How is it today, and has everything been going well so far?"

"Hmm. Everything is arranged, don't worry. Lu Li sat down diagonally across from Lily, "Justin has come over to help, and now that the ranch is well staffed, things are going well." The next step is to pack and pack the boxes, which will be handled by professionals and will not be a problem. ”

Lily turned around, looked at the professionals outside the window, and nodded reassuringly, "Hehe, you don't have to worry about doing things at all." Looking at the current state of the ranch, Liz will be very happy. ”
