Chapter 10 San Francisco

The farm's gate is wooden and open, with a wooden sign that reads, "Farm in Presentville," and a line that reads, "Private Territory, Please Do Not Enter."

After driving straight inside, Lan Jiawei took a cursory view, it was a farm of about 40 to 50 acres, but the crops here were much more elaborate than the original grizzly bear farm, and it was full of life.

Along the main road of the farm, in a short time we came to an American-style wooden building, and when I heard the sound of a car, old Loman Xville was already standing at the door to greet him.

After getting out of the car, he handed the red wine to Old Loman, and the old man glanced at it, "It's really good wine", and then hugged Lan Jiawei, "Welcome to my house, call you Jiawei, don't you mind?" You can also call me Loman".

"Of course, Lohman, your farm is great"

"Oh, I'm not Raymond's unreliable fellow, and I'm friends with his father. You're nice, JAVY, very pragmatic, which is evident from the car you choose"

Loman gestured, and the two walked through the door together.

Walking in, Lan Jiawei saw that in addition to an old woman, there were two young people in their thirties, and a group of children.

Seeing him enter the house, the five children stopped playing games or watching TV, but they were all sensible and did not make any noise, just looked at him with excited eyes, and in the face of the bright eyes of these little ones, Lan Jiawei smiled.

One of the youngest boys finally couldn't hold back: "Ah, he smiled at me"

The only girl among them, about ** years old, glared at him: "Shut up, Edmund, I really don't know how to be polite." Edmund rolled his eyes at the girl.

The grown-ups laughed, and Loman touched Edmund's head, causing a wave of displeasure among the little ones.

After the introduction, Lan Jiawei learned about this family, the old woman was not surprisingly Loman's wife Natley, and the younger couple was Loman's youngest daughter Nancy and his husband Hunter, who lived in the town, and those were their children. Nancy also has two older brothers, both of whom are out of town.

After asking Lan Jiawei what he wanted to drink, Nancy poured him a cup of coffee.

After sitting down, Loman took out a cigar and motioned to Lan Jiawei if he wanted to, seeing him shake his hand and light the fire: "Fortunately, today Nancy brought the children over, and I remembered fishing, so I saw such a wonderful riding and shooting, which is amazing, Jiawei"

The children who were no longer playing games and were sitting around nodded desperately.

Lan Jiawei smiled and shook his head: "It's okay", and said in his heart: "You haven't seen me fight on a unicorn yet, this is just a small matter." ”

Spit out the smoke ring, Loman looked at Lan Jiawei's fingers, and didn't find a thick callus: "Jiawei, I know that Chinese people like to be modest, but you are a young man, you should be unrestrained." Can you ask where you learned archery? ”

Nancy had already gone into the kitchen to help her mother cook dinner, glanced at Hunter, who was sitting a little farther away and swallowing the same clouds as her father-in-law, took a sip of coffee, and shrugged her shoulders: "I am a minority of the She ethnic group in China, I guess you have not heard of this name, it is a nomadic farming people living in the south of our country." ”

The children on the side listened with relish, and the little girl Ellie couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Lan, is it just like an Indian?" ”

Lan Jiawei lightly touched Ellie's little face, "Yes, little princess, it's like that, but like the current Indians, most of them live in the city."

Hunter over there laughed sullenly, and Loman asked curiously, "Oh, so that's the case, can I understand that this is the inheritance of your nation?" ”

Lan Jiawei shook his head, "Not everyone in our nation is like this, I was taught by an old man in my clan, as for I don't have calluses on my hands, it's because every time I use a bow and arrow, I wear a strange glove he gave me." ”

The children next to him were listening to the story intently, and Lan Jiawei was sweating. Some things are like pulling the curtain up, and you always have to find an opportunity to slowly expose them.

Dinner was a joy for the guests and hosts, Lan Jiawei didn't dare to drink, and he had to drive back later, just drinking juice drinks to accompany Loman.

When leaving, Loman hesitated for a moment before saying to Lan Jiawei: "Jiawei, you are a good young man, you know? The mountain on your farm is called Sera, a name that only my generation remembers, in memory of a wolf of the same name, who saved a lumberjack, but of course that's not the point. The rancher on the side of the Serra Mountain is about to lose his business, and the ranch over there in Montana seems to have a new breed of cattle, which will have a great impact on everyone, if you want to prepare more money next year, if it is not too far away from me......"

Lan Jiawei nodded: "Thank you, Loman, the dinner is very rich, I will pay attention"

Loman waved his hand: "You must know that the plains between the mountains are rare, be careful on the road, Jiawei"

At this time, in the car of the Nancy family, who were planning to leave together, Elle stretched out her little head: "Mr. Lan, can I go to your place to play when I have time?" ”

Lan Jiawei looked at the cute little Lori and smiled: "Of course you can, but it's better to follow your parents, okay?" ”

"Okay, Mr. Blue, goodbye"

After waving goodbye to the Roman family, Lan Jiawei got into the car and went back to his farm.

In the next few days, Lan Jiawei went on the phone and went home to dive and peep lewdly on the penguins, and everything else went according to the plan. One day I sat in my study and looked at my wallet, which had shrunk a lot, and began to calculate my upcoming expenses.

When he went to Loman's farm, he realized that his farm still had a lot to offer. If the irrigation system is to be redone, it must be changed to an advanced rotary sprinkler for spraying irrigation, the previous one is old, too wasteful and the effect is not good; There is a small bakery on the farm, Lan Jiawei went to see it once, although the machine is old, but the quality is very good, the house is renovated, the machine is also maintained, and planting some wheat in the future can solve part of the food source in the farm. There are other facilities that are aging, and it still takes a lot of money to calculate.

Glancing at the pile of treasures in the ring, he picked out two excellent emerald gemstones, and despised himself, "I'm not a dragon, how can I do the thing of guarding the treasure and crying poor?" ”

Pick up the phone and call the auction house broker Brother Mike,

"Hey Mike, what have you been up to lately?"

“……”

"Yes, this damn farm has cost me almost all my cash, and I'm going to keep throwing money at it, so I'll have to entrust you with two more auctions,"

“…….”

"Going to Huaguo? Aquaculture? Who's got the bad idea? I've been to that ancient land of fish and rice. It was very polluted and a lot of the water was stinking"

“…….”

"Sure? Well, let's talk about my business, two emerald gemstones"

“…….”

"I'll meet in San Francisco the day after tomorrow, okay, I'll send you the photos first"

“……”

"Oh, you actually have a villa there. Okay, I'll inform my lawyer and you'll be ready for the formalities and security."

“……”

"I drove myself and it might be late. Straight to your villa? Okay, you send the address to my mobile mailbox, okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

The next day, the farm was arranged, the lawyer Kane was notified, and the car was filled with gas. On the third day, after waking up at 6 a.m. on the third morning, after a little exercise, and after breakfast, Lan Jiawei set out on the road to San Francisco.

The town of Turner, located in central Idaho, was in average condition and only began to accelerate after more than two hours of Ranjavy's Ford Raptor hit Interstate 84 on the road to Portland. Following the navigation, Lan Jiawei drove easily, and when he arrived near Portland, the total time had passed for nearly 4 hours, which was about the same time as the time to Boise. Portland is much bigger than Boise, so Lengarvi plans to come to the City of Roses the next time he buys something.

After turning to Interstate 5, in addition to refueling once and eating a steak Western meal, Lan Jiawei ran all the way. He passed through several national parks along the way and the scenery was picturesque, so he didn't feel very tired, and from time to time he took a fruit in the ring to replenish his strength, so the road could be regarded as relatively comfortable. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Lan Jiawei finally parked the car in front of Mike's villa.
