The footsteps stopped at the edge of the organic farm, and as far as the eye could see, the vast land stretched out endlessly, as if there was no edge in sight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The once mighty cornfields are now gone, and the uneven edge of the forest can be clearly seen, but the towering trees are now like rows of low bushes, and the gray-blue sky seems to be getting higher, wider, and farther and farther away. A bird spreads its wings and glides lightly across the sky, outlining a hint of winter.

In such a vast world, a small figure is like a worker ant, tirelessly walking and busy, seemingly insignificant, but changing the world little by little.

"Don't you wonder what I just said about lunch?" Graham's voice broke the silence and asked.

But Lu Li knew that he was just stirring up a topic. Because he didn't turn his gaze at all, he was always focused on Randy, who was busy, and there was no intention of discussion in his words, but rather a hint of ridicule. Rather than asking a question, he is taking the initiative.

This is a trap, but Lu Li has no choice, knowing that it is a trap, he must jump down. Because he is a buyer's market, and Graham is a seller's market.

However, Lu Li did not obey Graham's intentions, but shrugged his shoulders, "I'm trying to increase my chips. He could feel Graham's chuckle exhale, "I mean, if you've made up your mind, we're already signing the agreement right now, and now that we're on the organic farm for a hands-on visit, it means that I still have work to do." ”

"You sound like a very pessimistic person. Graham put his hands behind his back and looked sideways at Lu Li, "Why does it have to be a field trip? Maybe it's because I'm thinking about the content of the agreement and need time to buffer it, maybe it's because I'm curious about how those vegetables are grown, and I just want to see them." ”

Lu Li chuckled lightly and turned his head to look at Graham, "So, is that the case?" A rhetorical question made Graham pause, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, and when he was about to continue answering, Lu Li spoke first, "It's not pessimism, but caution." Or rather, lack of self-confidence. ”

Graham looked puzzled, "And that kind of statement?"

Lu Li seemed to remember something interesting, and laughed brightly, he tried to restrain himself, but he still failed, so he simply gave up control, and said with a smile, "You know the 'American Idol', right? This kind of self-confidence that does not come is really incomprehensible. At first, I thought it was because of the effect of the show, they did it on purpose, but after coming here to study, I gradually realized that everything was true. ”

Graham suddenly realized and nodded with interest, "Because we were taught that I was the best." ”

Lu Li spread his hands and said with a smile, "The education we have received since childhood is: you still need to continue to work hard, there are always others who are better than you." ”

Graham took a serious look at the landing. The content of his words is about "lack of self-confidence", but the whole person's speech, expressions, and actions are full of confidence. It was not an American outward appearance, but it showed maturity and wisdom that did not match his age, and suddenly Graham thought: perhaps, this is the result of the exchange and integration of two cultures.

"What was our first topic?" Graham said curiously, narrowing his eyes.

"You're thinking about what kind of agreement you should offer to our ranch. Lu Li replied, and then he saw Graham's questioning eyes, but he met Graham's gaze with great calmness, full of course.

Graham smiled dumbly, but said nothing, no approval, no objection, and turned his head again to look at the organic farm in front of him.

"Are you going to come here or not?" Randy shouted as he straightened up, his gloved hands covered in mud, "It's not a good idea to stand there and enjoy the scenery all the time." I suggest you go down the creek, where Fourteen planted a metasequoia and the view is nice. ”

Lu Li and Graham exchanged glances, and then took steps one after the other, walking in the direction where Randy was, but before they could get there, Randy shouted in panic, "Stop, stop, don't get any closer." ”

Lu Li couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you contradicting yourself?

Randy pointed to the ditch next to the ridge with his chin, "I'm working on the frost protection, don't step on the ridge and ruin my work." ”

"You are allowed to see, but you are not allowed to touch. Graham nodded meaningfully, "I've heard that a lot. ”

Randy didn't understand, but Lu Li showed a surprised expression, "Really, I thought you were more of the 'less nonsense, more do' type." ”

In this back and forth, a smile flashed in the eyes of both people. Randy frowned, and asked with a question mark on his face, "Am I missing something? Why do I always feel a little wrong?Fourteen, is this a guest at the resort? Are you going to come and experience the farm? If so, it's not a good day because it's a very heavy day. ”

Lu Li was about to make an introduction, but this time it was Graham who cut in first, "I thought you would prefer someone to share your work, if it was very heavy." ”

Randy was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Of course, if you don't mind, of course it's a good thing for me." However, before the formal experience, I need you to undergo simple training, everything must be done according to the formal steps, and you must not do it nonsense. Otherwise, I'd rather you didn't do the wrong thing. We're in the process of being audited by the International Organic Crop Improvement Association and the USDA to get certified as an organic farm, and I don't want to see any mistakes. ”

"Why, isn't it going well? I mean, certification. Graham asked.

Lu Li knew that Graham was conducting an investigation in his way, so he didn't interject again, leaving the space to Randy. As an expert, Randy is much more persuasive than he is.

"No, it's going very well. Randy said confidently, "We've passed the audit every step of the way before, and we've received a lot of good reviews, so we're waiting for this batch of kale to be harvested." After the harvest, there is another test, and if nothing else, we can get certified organic. Speaking of his hard work, Randy's whole body was radiant.

Graham closed his chin in affirmation, glaring his gaze at the land in front of him, "How many acres are there?"

"One hundred acres. Randy followed Graham's line of sight and glanced around, "I'm only going to develop a hundred acres this year." Next, look at the production, but also look at the sales, and then decide whether to continue to expand. Now I am the only one to take care of this land, and I don't want to be too greedy so that I don't have to be busy. ”

"When the farm is busy, Adam will come and help. Lu Li interjected.

Scarlett and Brandon are in charge of the stables, which is enough, the organic farm needs more people, and for a short time, Adam will still switch back and forth between the stables and the farm, but if the farm has expansion plans in the future, it will need to be adjusted. In fact, after this busy time, Lu Li was still thinking about the possibility of adding Leilan sheep and Angus cattle, provided that the upper limit of the ranch's bearing capacity was taken into account.

Randy showed a disgusted expression, "Adam doesn't understand anything now, and I still have to teach little by little." "That tsundere appearance really makes people laugh.

"A hundred acres, it's really not much. Graham sighed softly, then found a gap and asked again, "Is this the first batch of kale?

Randy cast a smug glance at Lu Li, and it was clear that this was the proudest part of Cloud Top Ranch, "The yield per acre is about forty thousand pounds. ”

Graham's eyes showed surprise, and his expression was visibly turbulent. Based on Whole Foods' past experience, kale yields have been relatively unstable, with yields generally fluctuating between 20,000 pounds and 35,000 pounds per acre, with Graham buying a season where the unit yield per acre was 37,000 pounds.

Now, the yield of Cloud Top Ranch is 40,000 pounds per acre, and judging by Randy's tone, this is an average number, which means that at its peak, there may be more!

The problem is that Graham had just tasted kale, he wasn't a professional, at least compared to Michael, he knew very little, but he made the same judgment as Michael - it was definitely the best kale, and the nutritional value and taste were amazing.

Not only that, but Cloud Top Ranch is now applying for organic certification. It also shows that all of them are officially sanctioned - at least so far.

It's absolutely fantastical, it's unimaginable. Even if you are as experienced as Graham, you can't help but get excited.

What does this mean? This means that, if approved, Not only will Cloud Top Ranch be able to provide top-of-the-line premium kale, but 100 acres will produce more than many medium-sized suppliers!

Graham was a little excited, but he still suppressed his emotions in an old-fashioned manner, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Li and Randy suspiciously, "It's not April Fool's Day, is it?" Or is it that Halloween isn't over yet?"
