Section 10: The Last Cowboy in California

Coming out of Steve's house, Kelvin takes Ye Mo to a Chinese restaurant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's also the only Chinese restaurant in Santa Barbara, and it's packed just past 2 p.m.

The owner of the restaurant is a white American, and the waiter is Chinese. Kelvin ordered back to the pot of meat and fish-flavored shredded pork...... And instructed the waiter to tell the kitchen, don't take the practice of fooling foreigners, and ask for authentic Chinese food.

Ye Mo glanced at Kelvin speechlessly, isn't this old guy a foreign devil, and got down to business: "Hasn't the valley wine been graded before?" ”

"Old man Ding likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be famous. The original intention of making wine was because he felt that the wine was too high to buy the best Chinese liquor in Santa Barbara...... I drank the wine myself, and then I couldn't finish it before I sold it. ”

It's forced to be high, and you can't sell it until you finish it!

Old man Ding loves money like life! In the past ten years in the United States, he has been stimulated by the old man......

It should be that you know that your life will be short, and no matter how much money you make, you won't be able to take a penny away after you die......

"By the way, how much can a bottle of valley wine be sold for with a grading certificate?"

"Cabernet Sauvignon may be bought for 700 to 900, and the price of Hilaz should be 300 to 600. It's hard to say about fruity wines, which are produced in smaller quantities and whose prices are soaring every year. The average price at auction last year was $1,100 a bottle. It is the internal conservative auction that is not open to the public, so the valley wines are never well known. Kelvin said, "Why don't we have a public auction this year?" Raise the profile of the valley's wines. ”

"Let's have an internal auction. There are many people who are popular, and only by muffling can they make a fortune. ”

"Traditional Chinese have no real secrets in American society."

In short, Ye Mo still doesn't like to be too high-profile. He wants to keep the Huaxi Valley from too many people, but he doesn't want the valley ranch to become a 'tourist resort'. Even if he is famous, he will have to wait until Ye Mo gets the Kunlun Realm fragment of Huaxi Valley.

Driving back, at the gate of the valley ranch, a small truck was parked on the road, and Benjamin, the tax collector of Monica Town, was standing under the stone monument, and when he saw Ye Mo and their car, he quickly stopped it, and said, "Mr. Ye Mo, you still remember the promise made to me five days ago." ”

The promise made five days ago, Ye Mo got out of the car and nodded: "Of course I remember." ”

"Then tell, it's been five days, why haven't you done anything at all."

Kelvin walked up to Ye Mo and whispered, "I just said that he would annoy you to death." ”

"Hi man. The city of Rome was not built in a day, and I said that pastures would be built...... The Chinese have a saying, the big husband is a word, and the spit is a nail when he speaks. ”

"Well, I'm sure you're a man of credit. I just want to plead with you...... The town's financial situation is not encouraging. You inherited the Valley Ranch, which is part of our small town of Monica......"

“OK。 I'll do it tomorrow...... I want to raise some sheep and cattle but don't know much about the situation here......"

Before Ye Mo finished speaking, Benjamin said, "I can help you." Whether it's a loan or something else...... Buy cattle and sheep, recruit people, I can help you. Just ask you to get up and running as soon as possible. ”

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow, I'll start by hiring a few trustworthy helpers. ”

"That's it, I'll help you contact the hand." Benjamin moves the car out of the way, and Ye Mo and Kelvin return to the ranch.

"What an annoying guy. But it is also with such people that American society will flourish. Kelvin smiled and lit a cigar before adding, "I'll go with you tomorrow to recruit people so you don't get bullied." ”

The Sant-Ynes Valley is widely known for its horse grazing and wine.

It is home to some of the best horse farms in the United States, valley prairies, where horses can be seen everywhere, grazing quietly or running freely. It's easy to get good horses in the San Ynes Valley, but you have to go to the Central Valley to buy a lot of calves......

The next day, Benjamin came out of the ranch early in the morning and called Kelvin first. Ye Mo was running, and when he heard Kelvin shouting, he drove his pickup truck over.

Follow Benjamin to the town office building, where three stout middle-aged men are sitting, all three of them are dressed as cowboys, their skin is white and red, they should be people who have been engaged in outdoor manual labor all year round. Benjamin explains: "These three are the cowboys I recruited for you. Connor, Tony, Wells, their current job is cattle herding, at Stone Canyon Ranch. ”

"Hello ......"

"Hello."

Ye Mo shook hands with them one by one and said, "I wonder if you are interested in working in the valley ranch?" ”

"I can always quit my job at Stone Canyon Ranch if the pay is right." Connor, who had a lot of authority among the three, stepped forward and said.

Connor is a veterinarian and one of the managers of Stone Canyon Ranch. Connor and the others were all residents of the town, and they were cattle in Creek Plains before there was a valley pasture. Benjamin continued, "They have more than 20 years of cattle herding experience, and they are the last true cowboys in California who still retain the traditional cowboy spirit. ”

Ye Mo nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of treatment you want?" ”

"As long as it can be the same as my current treatment, Zhou Xin will ...... six hundred" Connor looked at Ye Mo.

Six hundred a week, about two thousand six a month, belongs to the middle-income group in the United States. Ye Mo nodded and agreed.

Then there are Tony and Wells, who don't care for cattle, only know how to herd, and their wages are much lower, only $2,000 a month. Such wages are considered low-income in Santa Barbara County......

Ye Mo looked at Kelvin and saw that he had ordered, and Ye Mo also agreed. After all, I am new to the United States, and I don't know much about the local situation.

Seeing that things were done, Benjamin opened a bottle of sparkling wine from the Central Valley and said, "Here, everyone have a drink, and then sign the contract." ”

Ye Mo smiled and raised his glass: "Cheers." ”

"Cheers."

Benjamin was really afraid of Ye Mo, afraid that he, like the previous owner of the valley ranch, occupied three-fifths of Monica's town and abandoned it. After drinking, he hurriedly called the lawyer in the town.

The town's lawyer, who is also from the town's office building, rushed over within minutes of receiving the call and drew up the contract.

Ye Mo took a look at the contract after getting it, handed it to Kelvin again, and signed his name on it after making sure that there was no problem.

The stone in Benjamin's heart finally fell, and he happily raised his glass again: "Welcome back, and at the same time congratulate the Valley Ranch on its new opening." Here, let's have another drink. ”
