413 can't refuse
Looking at the sharp kitchen knife in Lu Li's hand, as well as the neat knife technique, the cut celery rolled on the board with a gurgling motion, as if it was ...... There is no corpse in the dead, and with the pollution-free bright smile on Lu Li's face, it makes people's backs hairy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Michael couldn't help but take a small half step back, and his vigilant appearance was like a hedgehog with spikes erected, as if as long as Lu Li acted rashly, he would deliver a fatal blow. That frightened gesture was so sincere that it was hard to laugh at.
Graham's eyes saw Michael's small movements, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Li fearlessly, and nodded slightly, "Then, I'll wait and see." β
Lu Li put the two pieces of celery on top of each other, and then quickly began to cut them diagonally into slices, but his mouth did not stop, and began to explain, "All these ingredients come from the ranch's own cultivation, originally there was a vegetable garden at the door, growing all kinds of daily vegetables, but then after the organic farm was built, we transplanted the vegetable garden there, and this became a garden......
Halfway through speaking, Lu Li suddenly burst out laughing, which made the two people in front of him look puzzled. Lu Li's work still didn't pause, he just said with a smile, "I don't look like a salesperson on a TV shopping station?"
Just one sentence, the corresponding image immediately appeared in his mind, and then his eyes fell on Lu Li. Looking at it this way, it is really ...... Some are similar. Michael didn't hold back for a moment, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch, and it was really hard to hold back his laughter.
Graham looked up and down, and said very seriously, "You still lack a sponsor's apron." β
"I'm trying to get it right now. Lu Li raised the kitchen knife in his right hand, there was no extra movement, just a smile, as if the blade could reflect the beauty of a smile, the rich black humor came to his face, this time, Graham couldn't help laughing.
Even though he was talking, Lu Li's work did not stop, he did not rush to introduce the situation of the organic farm, but told the story. The embarrassment of their first attempt at kale, Michael's madness when he encountered kale at a cowboy convention, and the recent difficulties of growing kale due to the weather......
It's not rigid data, it's not a rigid profile, it's not a professional science, it's just about the daily life of the ranch. In fact, even after coming to this point, Cloud Peak Ranch still doesn't look like an industry, or that home.
Lu Li wasn't sure whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage for Whole Foods Supermarket, but he knew that this was indeed the essence of Cloud Peak Ranch. He didn't want that to change just because of the commercial side of the business. Otherwise, why did he choose to leave New York and come to Texas in the first place?
Any place can start a business, but not any place can be called home.
Graham could feel this deeply, and he listened carefully and carefully. He's a businessman, that's true, he doesn't let his feelings influence his decisions when it comes to making judgments and decisions, but outside of work, he's also an ordinary person, an ordinary person who came to Texas far away from New York.
However, Graham has to admit that Lu Li is a very charismatic person. The confidence and firmness between his gestures, the glint between his eyebrows and his eyes, and, of course, his sense of humor, left a lasting impression from the first moment they met.
But Michael was always absent-minded, and Lu Li's voice kept ringing in his ears, without saying a word, because all his attention was focused on Lu Li's handsβmore accurately, the salad that Lu Li's hands were making. The vivid colors, the subtle fragrance and the flowing juice make the process of making the dish a pleasure.
"Okay!" When the salad was ready, before Lu Li could speak, Michael couldn't wait to preemptively say, "This salad, the calories are really too high, you should choose ......"
Driven by professional habits, Michael directly began to analyze the calorie and ingredient matching, but this time he couldn't finish speaking, Lu Li directly cut off, "Then you can skip this meal." β
Lu Li took the salad basin and put it on the table next to him, then took out the salad fork and handed it to Graham, without continuing to joke or explain any more, just said simply, "Please use it." β
Graham took the fork and, without any hesitation, began to taste it.
In the afterglow of his vision, Michael reappeared, standing next to the salad basin, his gaze burning to Lu Li. That gaze was so enthusiastic that Lu Li couldn't ignore it, and when he raised his head, he saw Michael's righteous expression, "I don't mind being high in calories." It's lunch, and there's a whole afternoon to burn off energy. β
did not be pitiful, did not bow his head and admit his mistakes, but interpreted it professionally. Sure enough, it's still Michael's style.
Lu Li handed the fork in his hand to Michael, and then went to the kitchen himself, took another fork, and joined them. But these two people are really ...... I don't know how to describe it.
Michael carefully picks and chooses lettuce or kale, or whatever he wants to eat, then shakes off the olive oil on top, and pushes the cheese back into his mouth.
Graham was plowing the fieldβhe gently ruffled the leaves of the salad with his fork, and after carefully observing and examining it over and over again, he pricked it and chewed it earnestly, as if he were a researcher.
Faced with the appearance of these two people, Lu Li suddenly lost his appetite. What's more, salad wasn't his favorite in the first place. So, Lu Li simply put down his fork, looked at the two people who were eating, and added, "Do you need the juice of kale? or some other thing that can fill your stomach?" I guess you shouldn't have time to eat lunch. β
"No need. Michael waved his hand and refused.
Graham, however, looked up and smiled widely, "You have made a condition that I cannot refuse. This made both of them laugh.
Lu Li turned around and went back to the kitchen again, steamed a basket of steamed buns, and then prepared some bread. Now it's too late to prepare the dishes temporarily, so I heated up the leftover potatoes and roast beef and garlic vegetables from last night, and put the dishes on the table as soon as possible, "I'm not sure what you like to eat and what you hate to eat, so I will serve whatever you have at home." I hope you don't mind. β
Graham nodded slightly, "So, the West is all about entertaining guests like this, and the plots in the movie are all based on reality." β
"Are you a movie lover?" Lu Li sensitively sensed this, "It should be a very interesting thing to live in New York." Broadway is now in decline, but there are still many interesting plays. β
"Oh, you like it too?" Graham looked interested, his interests were unknown to even Michael, so it was clearly not the result of an early spoiler.
Lu Li chuckled and waved his hand, "I'm just an ordinary movie audience, not a hobbyist." However, movies are indeed a very interesting thing, derived from reality, but detached from reality. β
Lu Li remembered Tony, Tony's brother worked in Hollywood, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed to be an agent. Perhaps, in the future, he could ask Tony if his brother could show them around the Hollywood studios and studios.
"There's so much more to cinema than that. Graham has a rare look of interest, everyone has their own "weaknesses", and Graham is no exception.
The two of them babbled about those familiar and unfamiliar movies, and then extended to books, as well as Lu Li's experience as a reporter. Lunch was over, and the two of them walked all the way in the direction of the organic farm.
After the meal, Graham made a request to visit the organic farm, which was the first official mention of the organic farm after the two met, and Lu Li naturally had no reason to refuse.
In winter, the beech forest became more and more depressed, and the thin and tall trunks seemed wide and distant, and the breeze was blowing, and the sound of hula was constantly whirling with decadence and coldness. The two of them walked and talked, and saw Cole and Jessica riding by in the distance.
"Do I need to give you the horses?" Cole asked, his gaze falling on the stranger, pausing slightly, and then casting an inquiring gaze at Lu Li. After getting Lu Li's "rest assured" affirmation, he put his mind at ease.
"No, I don't. Lu Li refused the kindness, "Let's just take a walk." By the way, there's a guest in the main house, and Teddy is watching him closely, and I think he might need a little help. β
Seeing Cole and Jessica away, the two of them continued to take steps, and Graham smiled lightly, "Which one was the head of the organic farm just now?"
"Neither. Lu Li looked around, "To be honest, I don't know where he is now." However, the most likely location is the direction in which we are headed. β
As they spoke, the two of them had come to the creek and walked onto the wooden bridge, and the scene of the organic farm had appeared in front of them. The vast expanse of land spreads out in a vast expanse, and a patch of tender green bursts with amazing vitality in the midst of the decadent winter, and even the young shoots can be seen stubbornly striving upward, even the dense forests at the far end are eclipsed.
A fist-sized figure is busy between the ridges, the busy figure is constantly walking through the vast expanse of green, without any greenhouse equipment, without any mechanical equipment, the primitive and simple scene of labor, in a trance, the memory from winter to spring.
Lu Li turned his head and said to Graham with a smile, "This is my condition, the one you can't refuse." β
