Chapter 13: The Year to Come
Back at Mike's villa, the guy laughed at Lan Jiawei's slow progress and boasted about it, and then went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, Mike handed over the keys to the villa and the phone number for the butler service to Lan Jiawei and left. In addition to feeding the two puppies, Mr. Lan Da continued his big business of picking up girls.
Over the next few days, under the guidance of Chiyo Tachibana, Lan Jiawei toured the sights of San Francisco and felt the city's rich American immigrant culture. In the company of beautiful women, I found a very good accounting firm, and it will be much easier to hand over the finances of the farm to them.
Of course, Lan Jiawei will not forget to plan the future of the farm, and after explaining the situation to the girl, he realistically investigated the market situation of many agricultural and sideline products, and had a bottom in his heart.
During this period, the beautiful girl taught him Japanese, and Lan Jiawei corrected various mistakes such as Tachibana Chiyo's Chinese pronunciation. The relationship between the two heated up sharply, but unfortunately the girl still went home every night, and Lan Jiawei's only gain was to learn another foreign language.
Finally, one day when the girl was taken to Mike's villa, after Chiyo Tachibana saw two puppies that were cutter than herself, the relationship between the two broke through to the point where everything that should be done was done except for a kick in the door, and whenever Lan Jiawei wanted to go further like a weird man with a lollipop, he always lost under the big accusatory eyes of the beautiful girl.
Although reluctant, but the farm is still very important, in the girl's misty eyes, Lan Jiawei stepped on the way back, and at the end of the stinky fart came to a sentence in his heart: "Gentle Township is a hero's mound."
Arriving in San Francisco in a hurry, he was very relaxed when he returned, driving along Interstate 101, which is mostly close to the coastline, stopping at several national parks, resting in a small town hotel for a night, and returning to his elf farm the next afternoon.
When they went home and released the two puppies, the little ones seemed to know that it was their future territory, drawing maps and rolling around.
After turning around, I saw that there was nothing going on on the farm and pasture, and after being intimate with my own Ma Leiting for a while, I went to inspect the progress of the laboratory.
Sitting on a wicker chair in the hallway of the villa, after making a phone call to my parents. He sat there for a long time, ignoring the fact that the two puppies were biting their trousers. Lan Jiawei plans to gradually announce his news to relatives and friends in China after the gem auction, and it seems that it is the end of the year, and he may be able to let his parents and uncle's family come over for the Spring Festival.
It's the end of August, and it's been almost two months since I left home, and I didn't feel much at school before, but I'm far away, and I still miss my parents and relatives very much. According to the progress of the project, the tree of life can be planted in the middle of next month, and the spring of the moon produced by the tree of life and the impact on animals and plants when they grow up in the future are incomparably huge wealth, Lan Jiawei thought of this, and even couldn't wait.
After stabilizing his mood, Lan Jiawei remembered that he hadn't been to his own mountain since he owned the farm, so he decided to take a day off and inspect the site the day after tomorrow.
Made their own dinner and after feeding the puppy. Lan Jiawei turned on the computer and replied to the messages of several roommates, and found that most of the group were diving, thinking about it, they were all in graduate school or just graduated and started a business, and few people were as easy as him.
I called Chiyo Tachibana, and after getting tired of it for a while, I lay on the bed, thinking that I had to get a shooting range near the villa, otherwise the gun and bow would be uncomfortable. I also had to find a place to build a stable across the stream, and it was too inconvenient to drive to the horse farm every time.
The next day, Mr. Lan came to the farm office and called a meeting of the farmers and cowboys.
"Hey, everyone, it's been hard these days, I have a few things I want to discuss with everyone, one by one, first of all, we must increase some people, the area is so large, it is not enough to rely on a few people."
Adams and a few others nodded: "That's the case, Boss, but it's autumn soon, and it's hard to find manpower, so I can only wait for winter to see"
Lan Jiawei waved his hand: "Last time I went to the association in the town, I didn't find a suitable candidate, I will continue to keep an eye on it, I can't wait for spring to come and I haven't found anyone, it will delay things, you can introduce and take a look if you have a suitable one." ”
After speaking, he turned to Cowboy Jack, "Jack, now it's a bit hard for you to take care of the horse farm and the herd by yourself, do you have a cowboy?" ”
Jack looked at Lan Jiawei and said: "Boss, it's a bit bad to be close to a few ranches near Montana now, there are new cattle breeds hitting the market over there, Emma from our farm who used to want to come back, and you can bring two people, but you said before that you don't want it for the time being, so I didn't say it." ”
Lan Jiawei was stunned, "Emma? Is it a cowgirl? ”
A few people laughed: "Boss, that's Jack's dream girl"
Lan Jiawei also smiled, "No problem, Jack, you can't wait until you want to use people to look for it, let them come over, there are still many wooden houses on the farm." ”
Jack smiled: "Okay, Boss, Emma manages the horse farm more carefully than I do"
Several farmers laughed again, and Lan Jiawei clapped his hands: "The second thing, I plan to find someone to start renovating the irrigation facilities of the farm in September, all of them will be changed to rotary sprinklers, and the current irrigation facilities are almost old", and casually pointed to a place between the crop land and the pasture in the farm map hanging on the wall, "In addition, I want to dig a small artificial lake here."
Several people looked at each other, and finally Adams spoke: "Garvy, irrigation facilities are the right and good idea, it can guarantee things for a long time", and then brewed: "Actually, the place you just pointed out, a little northerly, turned out to be a small lake, just to increase the area of arable land and facilitate mechanization, Raymond's father filled in the flat land." After saying that, he stood up and gestured to the map.
Lan Jiawei glanced at a few people: "I did this because I basically considered the varieties of crops next year", and then began to draw a circle on the map: "About 12 acres here will be vineyards of new varieties, because I will build a winery, so I decided to expand the area; About 10 acres here, which Adams said would be planted near the lake, where blueberries would be grown; The 20 acres of the ranch and the horse farm will remain the same, and I will plant cherries and black grapes for the rest, and some wheat will be planted in the spare time, and it is a joke for a farm to go out and buy food, and I will not do that again."
Adams listened quietly, and then looked at each other again: "Jiawei, your plan is a big project, relying on a few of us is definitely not enough, if your seedlings can survive, at least more than 15 farmers will do." ”
Lan Jiawei touched his chin and thought about it: "Your wives can work, right?" ”
Several people laughed, and Farmer Smith said, "Boss, you are finally like a farmer, yes, you can do it, it seems that women can do a good job next year." ”
Lan Jiawei took the initiative to say: "oK, we signed a supplementary agreement, we can't let you suffer"
After thinking about it: "I know that the other Great Plains areas are mainly leasehold land, and large-scale mechanized farming is comfortable, but you also know the income of the farmers there. We're in a mountainous plain, and that's going to ruin the farm. There is no way this year, Raymond is leaving a mess, and after I have income, I will implement corporatization management and give you income dividends. ”
Then added: "When the time comes, I'll just accept people depending on the situation, let's do a good job."
Don't look at it now, the US imperialist side attaches great importance to commitments, and the more rural it is, the more so. Lan Jiawei does plan to set up an agricultural product company before the fruit is marketed, which is also in line with some systems in the United States.
Adams was very happy, and they were not low paid a lot, but who minded taking more?
Seeing that he had finished adjusting his morale, Lan Jiawei said to Adams: "Adams, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to have a look, I plan to live in the wild for two days, I'll bring back two puppies, you can help take care of them."
"Okay, don't worry"
