Lu Li looked at the enthusiastic town residents around him, simple and natural, honest and earnest, everyone was bustling to look at Lu Li, curiously asking about what happened that day, the first uncle to open his mouth asked urgently, "Did you really shoot?

After receiving Lu Li's affirmative reply, everyone cheered, and the uncle even raised his hands high, "Hey, he's a Texan, I'm sure, he's a Texan!" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even though he had just experienced a little unpleasantness, Lu Li could still feel the joy of the scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, refusing to respond to everyone's celebration, the helpless smile made everyone laugh, it was completely the appearance of a group of strange uncles and strange aunts - the positive kind.

Sean stood up and defended Lu Li, "Hey, hey, you want to watch celebrities, welcome to the booth of Cloud Top Ranch at the conference next week, we will open autographs." This made everyone laugh.

Sean patted Lu Li on the shoulder, then left everyone's encirclement and walked towards the office in the corner.

"To them, you're the star!" Sean whispered to Lu Li, which made Lu Li laugh heartily. In the calm western town, what Lu Li did that night was completely the focus of attention, and it was worth discussing for a while.

Lu Li pursed his lips and smiled, "Then, this is not bad." I also enjoyed the feeling of being a Hollywood star. ”

Sean said meaningfully, "Then enjoy it." ”

Their footsteps stopped at the door of the office, and Sean knocked on the door, but without waiting for a response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in, shouting a scold, "Arthur!"

The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk was startled, and hurriedly put the aluminum flask in his hand in the drawer, but then realized that it was Sean, and he put the flask on the table again, and scolded angrily, "Damn cowboy, don't you know that you have to knock on the door when you enter the office? ”

"Put your flask away first. Sean directly complained back, without any polite greetings, and said bluntly, "I have something to do with you today, this is Fourteen, the owner of Cloud Peak Ranch." ”

"Oh, I know you. The middle-aged man named Arthur, with a huge beer belly, wore a messy plaid shirt, and his unkeept beard, he looked a little decadent, "That young man from Asia has just done a heroic and interesting thing, my little grandson, who has been talking about you for the past two days." It seems that the ranch is doing well, and it is much more powerful than the old guys. ”

In just one sentence, it is full of information. Lu Li didn't know that there was such a "convenience" in becoming a celebrity.

Arthur stood up, but his huge body was tucked between the desk and the chair, and his movements were a little difficult, "Brandon is on your ranch, right? Good guy, a really good cowboy, the cowboy conference is really a lot of disgrace without his participation." Why, this time you're here to sign up for a rodeo for Brandon?"

This is the case in small places, where everyone knows that a little bit of wind and grass is well known. The situation of Cloud Peak Ranch is not too much secret for the local elderly.

Lu Li took the initiative to step forward, shook Arthur's hand, and greeted him friendly, "No, Brandon's wife's due date is next week, and he doesn't have the mind." This made Arthur suddenly realize, and then Lu Li also took the initiative to say, "I came here to rent a booth for the ranch." ”

Arthur was stunned, showing a puzzled look, and didn't react for a while.

Sean stepped forward and explained, "Cloud Peak Ranch and H-E-B Supermarket have been cooperating for more than three months, don't you know?"

"I know, that's your ranch?" Arthur suddenly realized, his face full of surprise, "The new partner of H-E-B Supermarket has been a hot topic of discussion for many people recently. That batch of vegetables got a lot of good reviews, and it came from your ranch? I talked to Maureen yesterday about it, my wife, who is now a loyal customer of H-E-B. ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, not hiding his surprise, he stayed inside the ranch all day, and the supermarket he often visited in New Brownfield was not H-E-B, so naturally there was no way to know.

But when I think about it carefully, I can see from the cooperation attitude of H-E-B every time that the quality of their vegetables has been affirmed, enough affirmed. The other day, H-E-B also got in touch with Randy to ask about their next season's vegetable planting, and if they could, they would like to book in advance.

"Is that a good thing, I guess?" Lu Li asked.

"Huh. Arthur laughed sullenly, "Of course, that's a good thing. The produce at our cowboy conference is a highlight, but it's been two years and there are no new stars, and the yield and quality are not satisfactory. It would be great if you could join us at this year's show. ”

Arthur finally left his seat, walked around, and came to the basket, "Is this the crop of the pasture?"

Arthur took out the vegetables one by one, spinach, carrots, edamame, green peppers, tomatoes, celery, and so on. Arthur looked very seriously, and then nodded repeatedly, "Wow." Wow. There was no specific comment, just a continuous sigh, and then he just picked up a tomato, wiped it on his sleeve, and took a bite directly, "Uh-huh......" dragged out the end of the note, and continued to nod contentedly.

"How?" asked Sean with a smile. As a frequent visitor to the ranch, Sean is naturally familiar with the vegetables on the organic farm, and he has absolute confidence.

Arthur didn't answer, but chewed carefully, bite after bite, until the whole tomato was finished, and then he exclaimed, "Wow." Welcome to the Stampede!" This can be regarded as a direct affirmation, "This year's top three vegetables can finally see new faces." ”

Such a commendation!

Lu Li was not surprised by this, he pointed to the other two things in the basket, "There is also cheese and wine, these are the products of the pasture. ”

"Your ranch actually produces wine?" Arthur was surprised a second time, but thought about it for a moment, and then cast a puzzled look at Sean, "I remember, did the Allen family also make wine in the past, but that was many years ago. ”

In Texas, there are only a few wine-producing ranches that can be counted on one hand, and in the vicinity of New Braunfels and Bandera, it is not necessary to think too much and blurt out.

"The Allen family's ranch is now the Fourteenth Cloud Peak Ranch. Sean's reply made Arthur suddenly realize. Liz's full name is Elizabeth Allen.

Arthur looked at Lu Li's eyes, a little more surprised, "This is the wine you remade?" He took out the wine in the basket, but at this time, the wine bottle had no label, just a smooth wine bottle, which looked like a three-no product, which was difficult to trust.

However, fortunately, this is the western part of the people's heart, Arthur didn't doubt it too much, put the wine bottle under his nose, and sniffed it gently, "Is this a good wine?"

Sean also turned his head to look at Lu Li, this question he couldn't answer. Not only because wine is not his area of expertise, but also not in Texas. The quality of the vegetables at Top of the Clouds is outstanding, but that doesn't mean the same is true for the wine.

Lu Li replied with a smile, "I think this is the problem we need to discover. I await the feedback from the wine lovers at the Stampede. ”

Sean and Arthur were both a little surprised, they both thought that Lu Li would take this opportunity to praise his wine and make a deep impression. But Lu Li didn't.

Lu Li seemed to guess their thoughts, spread his hands and said, "If I say it's a top wine, do you believe it?" both of them laughed at the same time, top wines, even in Europe, are extremely rare, let alone in the United States, and in Texas.

Lu Li pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Look, that's the reason." Just like vegetables, I think that the product itself is the best evidence than the fanciful description, and it is much more powerful than my words. ”

Arthur and Sean exchanged glances, and then Arthur suddenly said, "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in your product." Lu Li smiled silently and did not answer, but his frank and confident expression confirmed Arthur's guess, which made him laugh heartily and raise the wine in his hand, "What variety is this?"

"Pinot Noir. Lu Li replied succinctly.

Arthur's expression didn't change in particular, he just tucked his jaw, "Can I try it?"

"Of course, wine is meant to be tasted, and if it is placed in a cupboard, it does not reflect its value. Lu Li responded with a smile.

But Arthur shook his head, "I'd better wait until the cowboy convention." He put the wine down again, and this time, it was Lu Li's turn to be surprised.

As a Texan, Arthur's research on wine is bound to be too profound, which is also Lu Li's biggest worry, in case they can't calm down and taste the excellence of this bottle of wine, then the next negotiation will be difficult. But having said that, Arthur definitely needs to taste it in order to judge the qualifications and standards of the booth.

Unexpectedly, Arthur gave up directly and pushed the wine back.

"What do you mean?" Lu Li still couldn't help asking.

Arthur smiled widely, like Santa Claus, "Welcome to the Rodeo." You'll have a booth at that time. I'm sure your booth will be very lively this year, and I can't wait to see yours. There's new blood coming in, which is always something to look forward to. ”

The last sentence was addressed to Sean and was affirmed by Sean.

Things went smoothly, far beyond Lu Li's imagination, Sean didn't even say anything, and the booth actually talked about it. This is good news and worth celebrating!
