One hundred and twenty-one pounds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were a full 121 pounds of kale left in the warehouse. Compared with other vegetables that were all sold out, the residual inventory of kale was really too much, and the attitude of Texans towards kale can be seen, but Michael was bold, eating all the inventory in one go, swiping the card to settle the bill, and settling it on the spot.

After making sure that he had all the kale in his pocket, Michael left the exhibition area contentedly, happily saying that he wanted to visit the exhibition area again, "Unfortunately, the other vegetables at the top of the cloud have been sold out." I'd also like to buy some lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli and the like if I can. ”

Michael was wandering around in front of him, with Randy and Lu Li behind him, and only then did he have time to discuss the situation.

“…… A private supermarket bought up all of our stock. Randy simply explained that it was not yet twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but all the vegetables at the Cloud Peak Ranch booth were sold, and that was why.

In addition to large supermarket chains, small private supermarkets are also very popular in the United States, most of which are run by Indians, Koreans, and Africans, like a grocery store, but also sell fresh ingredients, and the main customers are residents of the community.

Lu Li suddenly realized, "It seems that in the past few days, the spread speed of word-of-mouth has been not bad. "Originally, they were just going to retail, but they didn't expect to attract wholesale purchases from small supermarkets, which is a good thing.

Randy nodded in agreement, "And what's going on with him?"

Following Randy's line of sight, Lu Li saw Michael's back. One Michael is almost equal to a small private supermarket. This made Lu Li laugh dumbly, "He's ...... An opportunity for us to grow. ”

In the afternoon, Lu Li accompanied Joseph, Michael and others to watch the final of the obstacle course, and professional players from all over the world showed their skills to compete for the final championship.

Everyone says that obstacle racing is the most dangerous competitive race, and there is a reason for this, a rhythm mistake, a missed opportunity, can lead to a real person on his back, and five competitors have fallen from their horses, but fortunately they are not seriously injured. But it also proves that because of this danger and excitement, the viewing value of the obstacle course has skyrocketed, and it is a completely different viewing experience from the speed race.

After a full day of playing, Lu Li took the initiative to send out an invitation to welcome everyone to Yunding Ranch. Fabio was the first to respond positively, Michael was even more eager to try, Joseph was also happy to go, and the others naturally had no objections.

As the host, Lu Li led everyone to visit the ranch during the winter break. In fact, there is nothing worth exploring in the current pasture, the farm and the vineyard are in the process of short-term recuperation, and there is hardly any green to be seen, only a small part of the farm has not been fully harvested, and it looks sluggish.

But the autumn pastures are a different story, dyed with red forests that stretch along the undulations of the horizon, the calm surface of the lake can see fat fish jumping up and breaking the reflection of the oak trees on the lake, rippling layer upon layer, the cute sheep moving like marshmallows on the vast meadows, as if the quiet water is cruising on the green sea, and a fresh breeze blows with a faint fruity aroma, which is intoxicating.

Michael's interest in farms and vineyards is fascinated, especially after tasting the other vegetables and wines from the top of the clouds.

He felt that this land was bound to be magical, and Lu Li and Randy were also very well managed, and they could go further. Therefore, he firmly believes that Lu Li should start planting avocados, bananas and other fruits next, as well as more salad vegetables, and even build a sports track similar to a triathlon, making this a leisure place that combines fitness and vacation.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and sure enough, Michael didn't leave his profession for three sentences, and even the ranch was transformed into an alternative gym.

Later, Joseph learned that Lu Li was going to write a manuscript about Michael, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Fourteen, you know, you have a unique interpretation and sense of smell for news, which is your advantage. The Artisan column is an ingenious choice, and it's outstanding, and there's no doubt that it's because of this column that people see your talent. But, beyond that, you should step out of your own security domain and try more. ”

Lu Li immediately understood.

In the field of journalism, there are countless events worth writing about, and every day there are not 10,000 but 8,000 new events. Lu Li can continue to write about the subject of craftsmen alone, and he will always meet new craftsmen and generate new inspirations, just like he met Michael today, but he can't stand still, just be satisfied with this.

This will lead to inertia, and then gradually lose the ability to innovate, and eventually lose the vitality of creation.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Li agreed with Joseph's view. Now that he left the New York Observer to become a freelance writer and win a partnership with The New York Times, why didn't he be a little more bold and put his wild ideas into action and become a real journalist?

"At least, when I'm done writing about this cowboy convention. Lu Li half-jokingly responded.

Joseph nodded again and again and laughed heartily, "Of course, of course. I'm still waiting for your manuscript. ”

After sending off Joseph and his party, Lu Li began to get busy, on the one hand, to rush the manuscript and ensure the quality, Lu Li got rid of the framework of the craftsman's column and observed the Stampede from another angle, and on the other hand, he began to prepare for the wine competition, and at the same time, there were also organic farm declaration procedures to be completed. Not only that, but the majeo convention in full swing is not to be missed.

Everything was completely new to Lu Li, and he had to start investigating from the basics.

For example, what are the international wine competitions, can they participate directly, or do they need to pass the selection in Texas, or the West Coast region of the United States, and win a quota before they can participate? For example, what are the precautions for participating in these competitions, and do they need any professional certifications?

For example, how should the organic farm's declaration be carried out, what preparations do they need to complete, and for example, even if he visits the regional purchasing manager of Whole Foods in person with kale, should he prepare a detailed plan as if it were attracting investment?

Of course, the most important thing is to cover the Rodeo from the perspective of a journalist, but not fall into the cliché -- otherwise Joseph would not need to go to him, and there are plenty of such reporters in the New York Times. This is the challenge that Lu Li has dreamed of for four years at university.

I carefully read the printed manuscript, marked some typos, marked some revised details, and then read it again, scrutinized it, and then put the manuscript on my knees with satisfaction, let out a long breath, and stretched my waist greatly.

This was his first official article as a journalist -- not in the New York Times, but on the Internet, but with an irrepressible overflow of satisfaction and joy. The world in the eyes of a journalist is indeed completely different from ordinary people, and he likes such a world.

After stretching his waist to the extreme, his body tensed, and the manuscript on his knees slipped down and scattered on the floor of the porch.

Before Lu Li could bend down to pick up the manuscript, he saw that Teddy had already walked over, stretched out his tongue and began to lick the papers, Lu Li immediately remembered Teddy's special hobby, "Hey, Teddy, buddy, don't, this is important information!"

But Lu Li's movements were still half a beat slower, Teddy had already bitten the two manuscripts in his mouth and began to tear them, Lu Li only had time to pat Teddy's head, and then laughed helplessly, "Teddy......" He was only half a beat slower, and he couldn't catch up with the speed.

At the first moment, Lu Li wanted to open Teddy's mouth and take out the paper, but after thinking about it, he immediately gave up, why bother, anyway, there is still an archive in the computer, and there are not many modifications just now, he has them all in his mind, not to mention, even if he is rescued, it is estimated that he will not be able to see clearly.

So, Lu Li ignored Teddy and put away the rest of the manuscripts, during which Teddy snatched one more, which was really laughable.

casually put the manuscript on the windowsill, Lu Li touched the miscellaneous hair on Teddy's head vigorously, "Have you been suffocated for half a year?" After he learned to be obedient, he kept guarding and put away all the materials, and Teddy naturally couldn't find the documents anymore to destroy them - but Randy, Jessica and others have suffered one after another, and of course Tony.

Teddy didn't intend to deal with Lu Li at all, and still chewed the paper intently, like a three-year-old baby who had gotten his favorite toy, and the whole world fell silent, leaving only the toy in front of him.

This made Lu Li laugh dumbly, "So is this how Cole feels now?"

"How do you feel?" An inquiry came from the front of the garden, making Lu Li raise his head, follow the sound and look over, and then he saw a few people bustling with him, it was Richard.

"The feeling of being ignored by a pet. Lu Li didn't hide it, and calmly teased himself, which made everyone laugh. Richard raised his voice and said, "Isn't it the theorem of pet keeping that every owner is ignored and even despised by his own pet? ”

The ridicule of this cold joke caused everyone to burst into laughter in unison.

Standing beside Richard were Mark, Raymond, and Robinson, who had previously said they were going to visit the ranch, but they didn't expect to come so quickly.
