055 Hire cowboys

The warm and fishy milk sprayed on his face, Lu Li subconsciously let go of his two hands, and looked through the slimy, wet mist, and then saw the cow in front of him walking forward, flicking his tail, pausing for a moment, and walking in the other direction, that comfortable posture was really free.

Lu Li only felt a little tightness in his chest.

Ronald's joyful laughter sounded in his ears, and he patted Lu Li on the shoulder heavily, "It's too greedy, I haven't even learned basic gestures, so I want to try high difficulty." ”

Lu Li couldn't refute it, he just put his two hands together, not only did the force be uneven, but the angle adjustment also failed, so this ended up in such an embarrassing end, obviously, milking a cow looks simple, but the actual operation is not so easy. Lu Li stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, bitterly happy, "Although the fishy smell is a little heavier, it is fresh, which should be very good for the skin." ”

Ronald couldn't help but laugh again, and said teasingly, "This is a beauty wash?"

Lu Li nodded solemnly, "Pure natural!"

"Haha. Ronald's hearty laugh caused a commotion in the herd.

Subsequently, Lu Li regained his strength and began to try again. This time, not too greedy, Lu Li quickly got started, although it felt a little strange, but it was indeed not such a difficult job, watching the fresh milk accurately fall into the milk bucket, and then the plastic bucket was filled little by little, and the sense of accomplishment filled the chest.

However, after only twenty minutes of work, Lu Li began to feel that his hands were sore, and his rhythm could not be accelerated, after all, this was still a job where practice makes perfect.

"Now everybody uses a milking machine, and when you put it on, you can express it automatically. Ronald took over Lu Li's work, "The number of cows you have here is good, even if the manual is busy, half a day is enough." But now that industrialization and mechanization are much easier, every morning, after the cowboys put on the milker, they can go to other jobs. ”

Lu Li nodded, I have to go shopping again tomorrow, this time I made a special trip to buy professional ranch equipment, "I can only trouble you today, I will go to the sunset bar first and bring the helper back as soon as possible." ”

In addition to drinking milk every day, Lu Li felt that it was also a good idea to make cheese or yogurt, otherwise the fresh milk that could not be drunk could not be stored for a long time. However, he is a layman, just talking about it, and whether he can do it or how he should do it, he still has to ask professionals.

Back in the main house, Lu Li washed his face, cleaned the slimy milk clearly, and then went to change a set of clothes - the clothes on his body were fried fritters and milked cows, and now it is obviously not suitable to go out to visit friends. Before they were ready to go out, Cole and the others were already busy, and compared to yesterday, today's work was the most troublesome, and everything began to get on track.

The town of New Branfels isn't big enough to find a sunset bar, especially since it's designed in a completely western style. It's like a bar in a Western movie, with wooden hallways, loose-leaf doors, small round tables, wood-framed chandeliers, and bartenders in fringed waistcoats, all of which make the bar stand out from the crowd in a retro style, not to mention the large deerhead specimen facing the main entrance.

Pushing open the loose-leaf door, Lu Li felt like he had walked into a movie set, not only because of the unique style, but also because of the attention - the only three customers in the bar all cast their eyes, and Lu Li couldn't help but stomp on the floor with the boots under his feet, as if cleaning the dust from the boots, "Do I need a pistol or a horsewhip at this time?"

"You need a beer. The bartender at the bar threw the rag over his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Morning?at this point in time?" Lu Li nodded to the three guests, only to find that there was a glass of beer in front of the three of them, and two of them even saluted Lu Li with a beer, "Then let's have a beer!"

The bartender turned to the other guests with a smile and teased, "Looks like our guest is getting used well here." This caused all three of them to chuckle, "Fourteen, right? Last time we met the McCartneys on their wedding anniversary, we didn't expect you to settle down here. ”

"Old Charlie, right?" Lu Li's memory also matched the person in front of him, the gray beard and brown cowboy hat, this is his signature dress, the dark blue checked shirt became a little tight because of the beer belly, and the playful smile on his face was quite familiar.

Charlie picked up his cowboy hat and nodded slightly, "It's like a fake." Although he quickly poured a beer and placed it on the bar, "It seems that you are adjusting well to life on the ranch, much better than those sissies in New York." ”

Lu Li raised his beer glass and saluted Charlie, "Thank you for the compliment, next time I go to New York, I will teach them a good lesson." That candid appearance caused Charlie to laugh, the bell-like laughter shook the eardrums faintly, and the bold attitude complemented the western style of the sunset bar, and it can be seen from this detail alone that Charlie should be the kind of typical western man.

Lu Li raised his head and took a big sip of beer, the refreshing alcohol ran down his throat and into his stomach, and drinking beer early in the morning was really a very unique experience.

"You're obviously not here today to drink. Charlie didn't greet politely, and said straight to the point.

Lu Li also laughed, "If it's drinking, I've obviously missed the happy hour." The response made Charlie laugh again, "I came here to hire cowboys." ”

"Oh, yes. Charlie showed a look of sudden realization, "I heard that you were in Lasso yesterday, we haven't seen such a large number of transactions here for months, this is a new blood that has not been seen in a long time." Charlie also picked up a glass of beer and saluted Lu Li, "In order to express my gratitude, I will pay for your glass of wine today." Then Charlie took a long sip of beer, the white foam of which covered his beard, and he raised his hand and wiped it clean with his sleeve.

Lu Li didn't answer, but made a gesture with action - he also took a big sip from his wine glass.

This action obviously satisfied Charlie, and a smile appeared on his face, "Do you have any requirements for cowboys? who are good at raising horses? good at herding sheep? good at setting cattle and good at setting cows? and experience, although experienced old cowboys are very popular, young cowboys are better than physical strength." It mainly depends on your requirements, I remember that Liz's ranch used to have vegetable plots, and cowboys who know how to grow are another thing. Introducing his business, Charlie continued his usual style, crisp and concise.

"I already have a goal, Brandon Scott and Randy Johansen. Lu Li also said what he meant.

"Brandon, Randy, excellent choice. Charlie sighed, apparently the cowboys who could be named around the town were stored in his head, and they were all too familiar, "It seems that someone has given a sensible opinion." ”

"Recommended by Lily. Lu Li didn't make a fool of himself.

"McCartney?" Charlie raised his voice slightly, paused for a moment, and then seemed to understand - Lily and Liz have a close relationship, which is no secret to the townspeople, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, and it was still inevitable that his words would be choked.

However, the main mood was fleeting, and Charlie soon returned to normal, "Although Randy is still very young, he knows a lot about mechanization, maybe cowboys will develop in this direction in the future, old Johansen was a good grower in the town, his corn yield and potato production are always amazing, I don't know how many skills the little guy inherited from his father." ”

"Brandon, he's one of the best horseback riders in our town at the moment, and when it comes to horses, he's definitely trustworthy, and even when it comes to competitive cowboys, he's a leader in the group." This guy definitely loves horses. ”

Charlie's brief introduction gave Lu Li a deeper understanding of the two cowboys, "Wise choice, wise choice." Charlie sighed twice in a row, and without warning, Charlie raised his voice and shouted, "Brandon!" This startled Lu Li, looked left and right, but did not find the target, Charlie continued, "The job has come to the door, it looks like a fat job, and our town finally has fresh blood." ”

It seemed that Brandon should be at the bar, but Charlie shouted twice, but no one responded, as if Charlie was shouting into the air.

Lu Li's eyes fell on the other three people in the bar, but found that all three of them were indifferent, could there be other people in the invisible corner - however, he still found clues, two of them looked at the third person in the corner in unison, with a smile in their eyes, Lu Li couldn't help but look over.

Sitting in the corner was a cowboy in his early thirties, with a messy black beard that looked like he hadn't been taken care of for a while, decadent and embarrassed, dark brown curls that looked like a bird's nest, wearing a gray plaid shirt with a wide open neckline, a faint chest hair, the sleeves of the shirt folded up haphazardly, full of wrinkles and not caring about it, a glass of beer in front of him, his hands unconsciously fiddling with the glass, a dazed expression, as if he hadn't woken up at all, as if nothing was going on in the bar had anything to do with him。

That's what it is...... Brandon doesn't look like a cowboy with outstanding ability, but like a homeless man who has nothing to do, and even a decadent drunkard has people who want to believe it, which really doesn't match the image in Lily and Charlie's mouths, Lu Li is a little surprised.
