The fact that Lu Li almost ditched the seeder really became a laughing point of ridicule for everyone, and even Brandon couldn't help but say, "Man, brake!" made Lu Li really helpless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the work of the organic farm is on track in an orderly manner, it only took less than three days, Randy completed all the sowing work, and all the other physical control equipment was also delivered, Randy is in full swing to deploy and install, the enthusiasm is really high, every day is to go to the farm early in the morning, busy until the sun goes down before slowly shaking back.
According to Randy, "This is the beginning, the most important beginning." Everything can only go smoothly if you start to do it well. ”
Admittedly, Randy is usually a big talker, and a completely unreliable chatterbox, but he is very talented on the farm - just as Lily said when she recommended it.
The reason why Randy is so busy on the farm every day is because he uses different tools to carry out measurements, record the growth of different vegetable types, including pest control, fertilization frequency, seedling response, etc., and then come back in the evening and file all the records by category, and after harvesting, he has the first batch of data for reference, constantly updating and comparing, and finding the most suitable vegetable species for planting.
This is exactly the rigorous practice of the laboratory, which opened Lu Li's eyes.
At the same time, Lu Li also put in the work of helping to record the data - this is very important for him to measure the feedback utility of the diluted spatial spring water, and how to rationalize the use of the spring water after all the 100 acres of organic farm are planted in the future, not to mention, there is a vineyard waiting to be developed.
Life on the farm is gradually getting on track, and work is still becoming regular. Lu Li pondered, it's time to start renovating the ranch's housing, not to mention the model of the future resort, at the end of next month, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi will come to the United States, and the population of the ranch is about to reach saturation.
Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi's visa processing was very smooth, and the two of them flew to SH for a trip, and after successfully completing the interview, they successfully obtained a ten-year tourist visa. At the end of last year, the U.S. visa was officially upgraded to a 10-year validity period, and each stay cannot exceed 180 days, making it much easier for both tourism and business.
Lu Li booked a ticket for the two elders in three weeks, they originally planned to fly directly to New York, but flying from China to New York, the time is too long, it will take six hours to fly from Los Angeles to New York alone, let alone eleven hours across the Pacific Ocean - don't forget, they still have a toss from their hometown to SH, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi are the first time to take such a long-distance plane, Lu Li is worried that they will not be able to bear it, so Lu Li made a decision and bought a direct ticket from SH to Los Angeles.
When the time comes, Lu will leave Los Angeles to pick them up, go to the ranch to rest and adjust for a while, and then go to New York to play when the graduation ceremony comes.
Therefore, the task of renovating ranch housing is becoming more and more urgent.
Lu Li plans to go to New York in person, in addition to inviting Vivian to come to the ranch, and meet with the professor in person to talk about the first draft of his thesis, which is also important. So, Lu Li returned to New York again.
To be honest, after enjoying a comfortable life in Yundian Ranch, Lu Li barely remembered New York, and the last time he came back, he couldn't wait to go back to the ranch, but this time, after really entering Manhattan, he felt the crowding of traffic and the endless liveliness, Lu Li found that he still missed New York a little - although it was only a little, disgusted and nostalgic, disdainful and familiar, after all, he had been here for four years.
Lu Li still understands Liz's mood a little, many times, people fall in love with a city, not because of the city itself, but because of a certain person, or a certain memory. When people mention New York, there are many cars, people, things, disasters, and all the problems of the big city can be easily found here, but people who really like it here just can't control their emotions, even if they scold and scold all day long, and say "I want to leave here" at every turn, they are still reluctant after all.
I arrived at the back door of Olive Garden, where it was always an empty car in New York, where it was more difficult to find a parking space than to climb to the sky, because it was a parking space for dump trucks that had been set aside by Olive Garden after obtaining the consent of the city hall, but it was usually the restaurant manager who parked the car there.
At this time, it was rest time, and the manager on duty was not in the restaurant, so the parking space was naturally vacant, so Lu Li parked the car directly.
I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, dialed the number I hadn't seen for a long time, and after waiting for a while, the phone was connected, "Bastard, where are you now, and you remember to call me?"
Through the glass window of the restaurant, Lu Li saw Fred leaning against the counter and walking lazily, "You'd better stand up straight and straighten your posture, otherwise the manager on duty will be scolded when he sees you like this." ”
"It's Sarah on duty today, she's better talking, it's okay. Fred waved his hand nonchalantly, but then froze, "Wait, how do you know me...... Uh, where are you now?" Fred quickly reacted and began to look around, Lu Li raised his hand and waved, Fred saw it at once, and showed a big smile, "You shameless bastard!"
Hanging up the phone, Fred rushed out at a trot, "You actually came back to New York, this city full of car exhaust, God, do you dislike life is too short?"
"If you don't let go, I'm going to the emergency room right now. Lu Li's ridicule made Fred laugh, this familiar ridicule is really a long time coming, Fred not only did not let go, but hugged harder, and then let go, Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly, expressing his dissatisfaction, "I just arrived in the city, and I came straight over." How about having dinner together in the evening, or are you on a late shift today?"
"It's okay, I'm skipping work now. Fred waved his hand haughtily, "You've only been back to the city for the first time in two months, and of course I'll have to accompany you." Wait, I'll go in and talk about it. As soon as he said it, Fred turned around and entered the restaurant, and explained a few words, most of the waiters inside were old acquaintances, and everyone waved their hands enthusiastically at Lu Li, and some unfamiliar faces next to him were a little inexplicable.
Fred soon came out again, without an invitation, and automatically walked to Lu Li's Mustang, opening the passenger door, "I thought that after you went to the ranch, you would change the pickup truck, or change to a luxury sports car, why are you still this old guy?"
"It's enough to make a woman look sideways, isn't it?" Lu Li's answer made Fred laugh, "The truth." ”
"I was going to go back to school and find two friends. If you don't mind, let's go out this afternoon, and if you don't mind, have dinner together. Lu Li skillfully began to reverse, and he didn't want to get out of the parking space, and today's duty manager Sarah drove over, and the two cars met on a narrow road.
Sarah saw that it was Lu Li in the car, and poked her head out of the window, "Man, are you lost?
Most of the managers on duty are in unison, Sarah is no exception, and she naturally accounts for a part of the harvest tip, but Sarah usually doesn't have any shelves, and she gets along with the waiter very happily. Lu Li knows that Sarah is a single mother with a five-year-old or six-year-old daughter, who is not in good health, and she needs this job and the harvest of tips.
Lu Li also raised his voice and said, "I was looking for 'Ai-Fiori' and accidentally got lost, can you guide me?"
"Among the Flowers" is one of the most famous Italian restaurants in New York, located on Fifth Avenue, with a Michelin star, and Olive Garden is a chain of Italian restaurants, which can be said to represent the common cuisine.
Sarah got out of the way, Lu Li smoothly adjusted the direction, and the two of them said hello before walking away. Fred, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed, "God, I've always wanted to do this, and today I finally carried it out." ”
"What?" Lu Li didn't understand.
"When I go to work, I skip work directly, go out chic, and then face the boss with disdain and give them the middle finger. Fred explained, causing Lu Li to laugh, "It's really nice to finally enjoy it today." ”
"So, you just gave Sarah the middle finger?"
"Yes. Behind the scenes, this is the etiquette of a gentleman to a lady. ”
Lu Li sneered, "You haven't said it yet, what are you going to do at night?"
"Friend, that's right. Fred reacted, "Is it a beauty? If it's a beauty, then let's have dinner." God, I can't remember the last time I had a serious dinner date. ”
"If it's a handsome guy?" Lu Li's rhetorical question made Fred show an open expression, "If you want to try it, I'm willing to accompany you." Lu Li shot himself in the foot and gave Fred a middle finger, "Yes, it's a beauty." In the evening, let's go to a good restaurant for a meal, and I made a reservation in advance. ”
"So, you had a plan for a long time? Oh my God, is this a date in pairs? Are you introducing me to a girlfriend?"
Lu Li laughed heartily, "Don't think too much, it's just a gathering of friends." ”
"Oh my God, my outfit, fourteen, I'm wearing a T-shirt, you're not going to let me meet my future girlfriend like this, are you?"
