The red bonfire reflected the happy smiling faces of the crowd, and the sound of music from the main room added a touch of vitality to the thick night; Randy was talking with Brandon and Justin, but Randy was dancing alone, and the two people next to him were both indifferent; Justin and Finley were eating freshly baked finger lamb and sweating profusely -- Finley had come with Justin; Ronald and Cole's parents were talking happily, and "He's fat" could be faintly heard in the wind Cole protested......

"It was a great party, thank you for the invitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" I don't know when, Sean walked up to Lu Li and said praisefully.

Lu Li retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my first time hosting a party, and there must be a lot to be desired, and now that I hear the praise, I am finally relieved." ”

The joking tone made Sean also embarrassed, "It's the first time I know that mutton can still be eaten like this." Although it is a little light, it tastes endless. Sean held a bowl of mutton soup in his hand, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, without any extra seasoning, but people couldn't put it down, and the thick soup that had been stewed for two and a half hours was indeed delicious.

"You still prefer barbecue. Lu Li understood at once, Sean still disliked being too light, "But there is boiled live fish today, so I think the mutton will be lighter, so as not to be too heavy, balanced and balanced." "The finger lamb is eaten in its original taste, and there is hardly any extra seasoning, which is indeed too simple for Texans.

"But I still love it. Sean picked up the bowl in his hand and gestured, "You should know how indifferent Texans are to soup." ”

"Haha. Lu Li immediately heard what was in the middle of the words, and nodded again and again, "It seems that I have made the right choice." ”

"How does it feel to stay here for a while?" Sean's overall style is still Texan, straightforward, and there are hardly too many polite words. If they can, they are even willing to gesture, make eye contact, and try to avoid talking – Brandon is a prime example.

Lu Li thought about it seriously, in the past, it seemed that nothing had happened, but countless things seemed to have happened, this feeling was really special, "I like it here." "I mean, I don't even have the hustle and bustle of a big city, and I can't even find a museum." After speaking, Lu Li also matched a roll of his eyes, and the mocking tone was obviously talking back, Sean chuckled, "But there is a rare tranquility here, you know, go to bed at eleven o'clock, get up at seven o'clock, enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the ......"

"Wang", Lu Li saw Teddy running over, as well as grapefruit and grapes, the three little guys surrounded him, he couldn't help rubbing Teddy's head, he is now more and more accustomed to Teddy's company, "Enjoy the time with the little ones." It feels very relaxing, but also fulfilling. ”

"That's how the life of a cowboy is. Sean shrugged, "Herd, go home, eat, drink." Nothing special, even boring in the eyes of many, but true. Some people like the prosperity of the city, there is no problem, but there are also people who like the leisurely pace of the countryside, slow down, and savor every day of life. "You should come and see the Stampede at the end of next month, which will give you a deeper understanding of the cowboy's life. ”

"That's how I planned it. Lu Li showed a surprised expression, "I also told Cole before that the Rodeo Convention is definitely a grand event that cannot be missed. I'm not sure if you're welcome me, but ......," Lu Li spread his hands and looked calm, "I'm sure I'll be there." ”

Texans are xenophobic, embodied in the cowboy convention, the economic environment has become worse and worse in recent years, and the cowboy convention is naturally becoming more and more difficult, and many tourists will go to the cowboy convention, which is a reliable source of income. But the cowboys were very disgusted by this, not only demonstrated many times to protest against the participation of tourists, thinking that the cowboy convention should remain authentic, but also did not be very friendly to the tourists present, there was no conflict, but the collision of words and the rejection of eyes were everywhere.

Sean heard the ridicule in Lu Li's words, and there was a hint of sharp ridicule in his humor, Lu Li is indeed different from the "outsider" in his impression, the so-called "outsider" here is not just a foreigner, but a person outside of Texas. Of course, Lu Li is not the style of Texas, but he has the boldness, sincerity and hospitality of Texans, he respects the culture of Texas, but does not blindly follow it, has his own ideas, but does not deliberately please, in a short process of getting along, you can establish the possibility of dialogue.

Of course, the older generation of cowboys are silent, and they definitely don't like Lu Li's impetuousness of the big city, as well as the reporter-style tactfulness. However, Lu Li likes pastures, and in the past time, he has kept Yundian Ranch in good order, which is very rare.

After a short time together tonight, the young guy depicted between Jessica's words finally became real and concrete. Sean now somewhat understands why Jessica likes Lu Li, and even praises it.

In the face of Lu Li's ridicule, Sean looked calm, "We welcome all cowboys." The subtext is that he recognizes Lu Li as a cowboy.

Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but show joy, although there are Lily and Ronald, they are in love with Wu and Wu, because Liz's relationship treats him differently, although there are Jessica, Brandon, Randy and others, but they are in an employment relationship and get along well, but they still can't be said to be real friends after all. After coming to Texas for nearly two months, Lu Li really made friends with his own ability, Justin counted one, and Cole counted one.

Now, Sean can also be counted as one, although he was introduced by Jessica.

"A batch of wool was harvested at the ranch today?" Sean brought up the topic seemingly casually, and after getting Lu Li's affirmative answer, "I know a factory that needs to harvest wool all year round, and the price is not as good as those big factories, but they will definitely not shout and lower the price indiscriminately." The director is an old fellow, I have known him for more than forty years. If you're interested, give him a call. ”

Lu Li stretched out his hand to take the business card handed over by Sean, and a trace of warmth flowed in his heart, "Of course, I still count on them to save my bank account crisis." I'm not sure though, but when I sheared the sheep yesterday, it seemed that some of the high-quality wool was destroyed. ”

Sean was amused by Lu Li again, patted Lu Li on the shoulder, and then turned to leave.

Here in Texas, the ranch business has actually formed a complete system, the trading channels are basically relatively fixed, the people here are very stubborn, refuse to change, often a business is done for twenty or thirty years, and the friendship between each other is difficult to severe. It is estimated that it will be more difficult for a half-way monk like Lu Li to reuse the channels of the former Ritz, because these stubborn Texans tend to refuse outsiders to join, just look at their rejection of those big conglomerates.

Now, Sean took the initiative to match Lu Li and solved the big problem, and things suddenly became much simpler. This is not a revolutionary breakthrough, but a good start.

"Honestly, I don't know exactly how you did it, but I know for sure that you're changing our eating habits. With a bright smile on her face, Chloe walked over, sat down beside Lu Li, and handed over a dinner plate, "You're busy enough tonight, but you hardly see you eat, guests are very important, don't go hungry yourself." ”

Chloe's expression was very straightforward, completely devoid of the shyness of the little episode just now.

Lu Li also generously took the plate, "Don't you say that I really forgot, I just ate a few dumplings." There was torn finger lamb on the plate, some dumplings, and next to Lu Li's own sauce, "The first time I had a party, I think I was so busy that I forgot about hunger. ”

"I'm not sure about that sauce, Sean just tried to use fish soup with lamb, and it tasted so delicious, everyone praised it. Chloe explained, "I saw Randy fill a small bowl of fish soup, bright red and bright red, is there nothing wrong with eating it?"

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "It seems that someone is going to keep running the toilet tonight." "The chili peppers are really appetizing, and the fish soup and mutton do go well together, but the first time someone tries the Chinese/Chinese chili cooking method, they are so fierce that they probably have diarrhea at night.

"Haha. Chloe laughed heartily, "Then I won't stop him." Tomorrow Jessica should be able to describe it to me in detail. ”

"Are you sure? That will affect your appetite for lunch. Lu Li had a disgusted expression, and raised his hand to fan his nose, and the vivid appearance made Chloe's laughter not stop at all.

Lu Li looked at Chloe's bright smile, hearty and bright, covered with a soft halo under the light of the bonfire, which made his eyes stop.

Chloe noticed Lu Li's gaze, and her eyes blinked slightly, "In less than two months, you have become half a cowboy, which is too rare." Are you interested in next month's Stampede?"

"It seems that this is an event that everyone is paying attention to, and I naturally will not miss it. Lu Li remembered the conversation with Sean just now, and couldn't help but wonder, "I remember that you will also attend the conference, right? When we first met......

At that time, Chloe was running wild on horseback, preparing for the cowboy conference, and ended up making a small oolong.

Chloe also remembered that memory and couldn't help but say, "Yes, I'll be competing in cowgirl competitions." I've been working hard lately and hopefully I'll get good results by then. ”

"You're the second best cowgirl I've ever seen!" Lu Li's words made Chloe smile in honor, and then he added, "I've only seen two." ”

"Bang!" Chloe gave Lu Li a punch without mercy, and it was solid.

"Fourteen?" Lily walked over quickly, seeing the smiles on Chloe and Lu Li's faces, and then she smiled meaningfully, "Although I don't want to disturb your date, I have something to ask you about." One sentence suddenly made Lu Li and Chloe look away with some embarrassment.
