The cowboy sitting in the corner did not raise his head or stand up, but still kept his head down, and took a long sip of beer, as if immersed in his own world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It looks like a little guy who has just come out of college and knows something about ranching. The cowboy complained to himself in a calm voice, without much malice, as if he was just saying that it was none of his business, and then he picked up his glass and moved it in the direction of Lu Li, "However, at least it's much better than those big conglomerates, those Wall Street vampires have to be pushed into the sun." ”

The cowboy's footsteps stopped beside Lu Li, and he casually threw the beer on the table, and asked directly without consent, "A few questions." First, how many animals are there in the pasture now?"

Lu Li blinked, he was still not used to the accent of cowboys, the pronunciation was too vague, and there were a lot of leganuts, and the meaning was not very clear, many times the words were half-spoken, even Americans were not very familiar with it, let alone Lu Li, a foreigner. But after thinking about it, Lu Li still guessed what the cowboy meant, "Five hundred cows, one thousand sheep, thirty cows, and thirty horses." The next step is to buy two pairs of breeders/horses, and I haven't found a suitable one for the time being. ”

This answer made the cowboy raise his head, his eyes lit up, and he showed an interested look, "Are you going to raise horses?"

Lu Li understood this sentence, and it meant, "You plan to run a horse business professionally?" he nodded and replied in the affirmative, "In the past, when Jack was here, the beech ranch was the best horse farm in the neighborhood, and I don't plan to waste this business, Cloud Peak Ranch will restart the horse breeding work." ”

The cowboy pursed the corners of his mouth, looked Lu Li up and down, did not hide his eyes at all, and then retracted his chin, "It's kind of interesting." ”

After a pause, his eyes lit up again, and he repeated, "It's kind of interesting." "It's rare for an Asian face to come to Texas, it's even more rare to take over a ranch in a general economic downturn, and it's hard to imagine how expensive it is, as his words suggest.

Lu Li didn't speak, just looked back with a smile, he could see that this cowboy should be the type with a rebellious personality.

Thinking about it carefully, the information Lily said will know that he has a lot of skills, but he is not willing to be tied to his job, but chooses to participate in a cowboy conference, if it were not for his wife's pregnancy, I am afraid he would not have planned to be tied up by work in the short term. Lu Li doesn't care about this, in the United States, personality is almost everyone's label, but some people's personalities are more aggressive, which does not mean that it is a real attack.

"What are the goals for stallions?" asked Cowboy again.

Lu Li shook his head, "I'm waiting for the expert's opinion. He turned his head to look in Charlie's direction, "I just heard Charlie say that that Brandon Scott should be a trustworthy professional, and if he wants to come to work on the ranch, I will ask for his opinion." Although I am a layman, I know that horse breeding is not so simple. ”

Looking at Lu Li's serious appearance, Charlie was already happy next to him, and even the other two guests laughed heartily, and the cowboy standing in front of Lu Li grinded his teeth, but he didn't refute after all, "Second, do you have any development plans for the ranch next?"

"I guess it's my freedom. Lu Li is not a soft persimmon to give what he wants, a sentence was directly blocked, the other party obviously did not expect such a response, he was actually stunned, Lu Li couldn't help but show a bright smile, "Although I am not a big consortium and have no trade secrets, but this is my territory, how to operate in the future, that is my business, isn't it?"

"Haha. Boy, you do look like a Texan, I like it. Charlie made no secret of his likes and dislikes, banging on the table and making a heckle.

Lu Li looked at the cowboy's expression in front of him a little ugly, he pursed his lips to avoid laughing smugly, "However, I am very happy to exchange opinions with my cowboy, and I also shared some thoughts with Cole yesterday." The implication is that if you're your own person, it's a different story.

The cowboy in front of him wanted to refute, but when he heard this, he could only touch his nose and swallow all the words, "I just want to remind you that running a ranch is not a Monopoly game, let alone a Barbie doll's playhouse, if you plan to come and leave, or sell it for a good price, it is best to inform your cowboy in advance." ”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, "First, I'm not a consortium, and second, I'm not a rich second generation. So I thought, I can only pray that I don't go bankrupt. ”

Such a response caused the bar to burst into laughter again, and even the corners of the cowboy's mouth couldn't help but rise, "Third, salary?"

"$1,800 a month, including food and lodging. "That's what Jessica and Cole are treated now," and by the way, I'm a very good chef, and I've been thinking very seriously about opening a restaurant with a group of cowboys who have been working for me for free because of my cooking. "Wang Po sells melons, and she still has to boast about it.

The cowboy didn't hold back after all, he laughed after a puff, and then felt a little ridiculous, shook his head helplessly, and then he stretched out his right hand, "Brandon Scott, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Lu Li held the other party's right hand, and then Brandon withdrew his hand hard, and the two of them directly bumped their shoulders and expressed their greetings, "Fourteen, it's nice to meet you." After the formal introduction, it is considered a cooperation, "When can you start working?"

"Anytime. Brandon moved his shoulders in a look of eagerness.

"Then it's better now. Lu Li pointed in the direction of the Yunding Ranch, "Now the ranch is still a mess, we only completed the reception of all the animals yesterday, and almost everything was not sorted out." By the way, thirty cows must be milked, waiting for the cowboys' skillful hands. ”

Skillful ......

Charlie and the others laughed merrily, and Brandon was full of black lines, he absolutely ignored Lu Li, opened his mouth and said, "No problem, little meaning." ”

Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "By the way, there is no milker in the ranch for the time being." With that, he turned to look at Charlie, and Brandon only felt that his jaw was about to dislocate - this, this ......, "Charlie, what about Randy?"

Charlie couldn't stop laughing, it was rare to see Brandon being teased once, it was a wonderful morning, "Randy should be home, I'll call him and ask him to come and find you, Beech Ranch, right?"

"Same location, but now it's called Cloud Top Ranch. Lu Li said, Charlie snapped his fingers, "No problem, it will be Cloud Peak Ranch in the future." ”

Lu Li picked up the beer glass, raised his head and poured all the beer into his stomach in one breath, and his bold gesture made Charlie give a thumbs up, "Thank you for the hospitality!" After Lu Li finished speaking, he greeted Brandon and left the sunset bar.

Standing outside the bar door, Brandon looked at Lu Li's Mustang and looked at Lu Li again with a ghostly expression, Lu Li raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "I know, I know, I'm an alien here." He decided to buy a pickup truck this afternoon, "Let's go to the ranch to have a look, and then make a list of materials, I will buy it in the afternoon, and now many things in the ranch are going to be updated, but I haven't had time to count them." ”

As a once highly regarded horse farm, the ranch still retains the old tools, but it is not known whether they are properly maintained, whether they are damaged, and whether they need to be renewed.

Although Lu Li trusts Cole the most, Cole also admits that his knowledge of horses is very limited, which is not his forte. If nothing else, Lu Li will hand over the horse to Brandon to be responsible, and Charlie also said just now that this is Brandon's best skill. So, it's up to Brandon to decide what tools to buy.

Brandon nodded, and didn't say much, this is what he is best at, and it is naturally incumbent. "Before we go, are there any questions? Now that we haven't signed the employment agreement, it's too late to regret it. Lu Li joked with a smile.

Brandon looked at Lu Li's bright smile, and then thought about what he had just done, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved - not because of those ridicules, but because he himself didn't know how to be bypassed, obviously he was the one who took the initiative, but in the end, he felt that he had suffered a loss. This yellow-skinned and black-haired guy in front of you must not be easily provoked.

“…… So, is there really no milker?" that was Brandon's only problem.

Lu Li spread out his hands, with an innocent expression, did not answer, and walked straight to his own mustang, Brandon was left behind, wanted to say nothing, but after all, he didn't say anything, scratched his hair vigorously, and the already messy bird's nest was even more messy, and then he turned and walked towards his pickup truck.

From entering the sunset bar to leaving, the whole process took less than twenty minutes, and Lu Li successfully found a cowboy, which is so efficient, which is good news.

Back at Cloud Peak Ranch, Lu Li led Brandon to visit the main house and the annex house, and before he could introduce Brandon to everyone, there was the sound of wheels crushing the sand in the front yard, "It seems that this is indeed a very small town." "If nothing else, Randy should be outside.

Walking to the porch of the main house, and then he saw a sunny young face, the upper body leaned out of the driver's seat, looking around at the appearance of the ranch, and seeing Lu Li and Brandon coming out one after another, he showed a big smile and waved his right hand vigorously, "Hey, is this the Cloud Peak Ranch?" I'm looking for ...... Forehead...... Mr. Fourteen?"

Fourteen plus Mr., how does this sound a little weird, Lu Li retracted his jaw, "So you're Randy Johansen?"

"Yes!" Randy heard the affirmative meaning from Lu Li's words, immediately opened the car door and jumped down, trotting all the way over, through the garden, stopping at the steps, standing upright, and then making a salute gesture, "Mr. Fourteen, Randy Johansen is here to report. ”

Brandon nodded slightly, then raised his hand and pointed at Lu Li who was standing next to him, "He's fourteen." ”

Randy looked at Lu Li, who was younger than himself, and his eyes widened, "God, did you graduate from high school?"
