After getting Lu Li's approval, Randy's confidence soared, and the organic farm is now finally on the right track, "Fourteen, then we can start buying the corresponding equipment......

Previously, the organic farm was always in the experimental stage, and a number of machinery and equipment that could be used in general were purchased; Now that the farm has decided on a development plan, professional equipment is on the agenda, all for kale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A hundred acres of land, which is definitely not a small amount, and taking care of twenty acres by one person is already a daunting challenge, let alone a fivefold increase now? Only with the help of modern machinery is it possible for Randy to achieve the impossible task of caring for an organic farm by himself.

"I know. It's time to invest again, and it's time to test the depth of your wallet again. Lu Li stretched and said half-jokingly, which made Randy chuckle, "Do you need to hire another helper?" I'll hire two more cowboys in a while, so if you need them, come along. ”

"Because of Brandon?" Randy reacted immediately, Jasmin's due date next month, which is a big deal for the entire ranch.

Lu Li shook his head, "Yes and no." Even if there is no such thing, the ranch needs to be replenished with some manpower. The workload is now more than double than before, and you can't handle it now. ”

Actually, the vineyard is fine, because the busiest time of the year is the harvest and winemaking season, and the rest of the year is relatively less busy; But the horses and the work on the farm have indeed doubled, which is a bit stretched with the existing staff on the ranch.

Randy smiled and waved his hand, "The other ranchers want to reduce their number of applicants as much as possible and let the cowboys share more of the work." But it's a strange thing that you're going to have to increase your staff, and I guess you're going to be hot around the town of New Bronfels, and maybe we're going to be squeezed out. ”

Lu Li pursed his lips, "Then do you want it, or don't you?" ”

"If so, of course it's best." Randy's smile widened, "But if you don't, everyone can help each other and share a little work, and I can take care of it for the time being." Randy held up the beer bottle and shook it, "When I went to Europe before, I helped Tony take care of the vineyard, and now it's Tony's turn to help." It's clearly written in my ledger. ”

"If you can make them move." Lu Li's complaining tone made Randy choke, thinking about it carefully, the other cowboys on the ranch, Randy really couldn't move, this ......

Looking at Randy's depressed and sad expression, Lu Li gloated, patted Randy on the shoulder, and took a step to leave.

In the crowd, Lu Li found Cole and briefly described the situation of the ranch's replenishment, "Do you think it is enough to hire two more cowboys?" ”

Cole thought for a moment before asking, "Are you going to keep them all?" ”

Lu Li nodded and said his thoughts, "Well, it's always inconvenient to hire short-term workers. It's mostly thoroughbreds, and then Brandon's focus shifts; But the work of the ranch horse farm needs an equally professional person to come and take over. Instead of going through the trouble of finding someone later, it's better to be more formal this time. ”

Cole pondered for a moment, then gathered his thoughts, "Those two should be enough." Cole then explained, "We can help each other out during Brandon's break, but it's not difficult for three months, and it's winter. When Brandon returns, the two cowboys can divide the work, one staying at the horse farm and the other going over to help Randy. ”

Lu Li pondered for a moment, "Then so be it." After a while, I went to the Sunset Bar to check it out. Immediately, Lu Li made a decision, "This afternoon, Tony is still joking with me......"

Halfway through the words, a shrill siren sounded in his ears, interrupting Lu Li's words, and everyone turned their heads to look at the past, in the night, the red and blue lights of the police car were turning blindly, reflecting the surrounding scene, but they couldn't project farther, they could only vaguely capture the horizon of the night, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

This is New Branfels, a quiet and remote town, sparsely populated, peaceful, and uneventful every day, with an estimated sheep lost in the pasture, and news like this can make people talk about it for a while.

The number of police cars dispatched is only a handful.

The last time Lu Li saw an emergency, it was the dispatch of a fire truck, and two sheep came down the hillside, ran to the roof, and then circled around and got trapped on the roof. The firefighters had to go into battle themselves and take them down.

This should be the first time Lu Li has seen a police car since he came here, and it is actually parked at the gate of Yunding Ranch. It was so unusual that the atmosphere of the party cooled down immediately.

"What's wrong", "What's wrong", "What's going on"...... The bustling discussion was noisy, and finally all eyes fell on Lu Li.

Because Lu Li is the owner of Yunding Ranch, it is natural for him to step forward to deal with it.

However, before Lu Li had time to take a step, Ronald had already greeted him first - compared to Lu Li, an outsider, Ronald was a respected familiar face near the town, and he knew all the agents in the police station, so it was naturally easy to deal with such a scene.

Lily walked over briskly and said comfortingly, "Fourteen, don't worry. ”

Lu Qian responded with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not worried at all." After saying that, Lu Li gave Lily a hug, and then followed suit, only to find that Cole also followed.

Noticing Lu Li's gaze, Cole explained, "I know the situation here, and it's easier to explain. ”

Lu Li laughed, "So, what do you think I have done?" This ridicule eased the atmosphere a little, and Cole laughed dumbly.

As he spoke, Lu Li and Cole had already arrived at the door, falling behind Ronald, and Ronald's buzzing voice came from the air, with a little intimacy in friendliness, "Richard? What's wrong? Still on patrol so late? Hey, Buck, I thought you were off this week. ”

It seems to be an acquaintance.

"Ronald, you're partying here? Does Lily know? The man teased in a relaxed tone, "I can smell the wine on you, and when you go home tonight, you probably have suffered." That joke made everyone laugh.

"Lily is right at the door, you can communicate directly with her if you have any ideas." Ronald puffed up his chest and replied confidently, which made everyone who came let out an exclamation and simply greeted him politely, Ronald took the initiative to ask, "Are you on routine patrol?" Or is there something else? ”

"Oh, yes." The officer who took the lead patted his head, as if he had just remembered, "Where is the owner of the ranch?" It seems that the other party doesn't know Lu Li at all.

Lu Li stepped forward, "I am." He greeted politely, "I'm Lu, the owner of Cloud Peak Ranch." On formal occasions, Lu Li did not continue to use the name "Fourteen", but also used the official name.

"Mr. Lu, good evening. I'm Richard. Detective at the New Braunfels precinct. The officer who took the lead stepped forward, introduced himself, and politely shook Lu Li's right hand, "Here's the thing, in the past three weeks, we have received two reports of two nearby ranches that have been visited by thieves. ”

Richard explained succinctly, "Tonight, the Mayan ranch was burgled again, and the owner of the ranch saw the thief riding away and immediately called the police. Unfortunately, we were not able to find any trace of them, but in the direction of the Marshall Valley Ranch, we saw the two horses. We felt obliged to inform the owners of several nearby ranches to pay attention to the safety of their own ranches; If you see a suspicious figure, it is best to call the police in time. ”

The Mayan Ranch is not far from the Cloud Peak Ranch, only a fifteen-minute drive away.

But the question is, the ranch actually recruits thieves? This was the first time Lu Li had heard of it, "What did they steal from the ranch?" Do you steal horses, cattle and sheep? ”

The ranches near the town of New Bronfels are inhabited by very simple people, the average standard of living is not very high, and there is never a hearing of any potential rich people here - and even if there are, the rule of keeping their money open is well enforced. So what attracts thieves?

Lu Li's question made Richard laugh too, and Buck, who was standing next to him, interjected and explained, "A few months ago, there was a rumor near San Antonio that at the end of the nineteenth century, there was a pair of robbers who robbed banks everywhere, and they were extremely vicious and almost invincible. ”

The beginning of this story dislocated Lu Li's jaw, if you add a "long, long time ago", isn't it a novel?

Unfortunately, it angered several wealthy people who spent a lot of money, recruited troops, gathered a large number of bounty hunters, and then cooperated with the official police/prosecutors to successfully kill them. But they didn't find any wealth around them. It is said that during the escape, they buried the gold. ”

Buck only said this, but it was enough, and the rest of the story can be guessed. This is obviously a treasure hunt story, like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", except that this story takes place in the west.

The two thieves buried the gold and later left a treasure map for the benefit of future generations. Now, they discovered that the treasure was hidden near New Braunfels, and thus attracted the thieves.

"Are you sure these two thieves are normal? Not a teenager who watches a lot of movies? Or are you the amateurs of the detective club? Lu Li felt that this was too ridiculous, and there was no value to be trusted at all, "This is all the plot of the movie, wait, are they whimsically planning to follow in the footsteps of Indiana Jones after watching 'Haw Par Little Overlord'?" ”

Originally, when they heard Richard and Barker's words, everyone already felt extremely ridiculous, but now that Lu Li said this, Ronald and Cole laughed, even Richard and Buck were no exception.
