Dozo America

The small town of Lecce, Montana.

White snow has covered the entire town. People in the town are all in their houses. Only a few people are driving cars and slowly dragging fodder in the pasture. This is prepared for the cattle and horses to spend the winter. Because of this sudden heavy snow

, half of the forage has been covered by heavy snow.

"Hey, young man, where are you going?" The fat middle-aged man who was driving a car and dragging hay jumped out of the car. When he was refastening the tarpaulin that had been blown open by the wind, he saw a

A man was walking alone in the town. He had his head lowered, his collar stood up, and there was snow in his hair.

"I want to find a place to eat. I'm not familiar with this town! So... I haven't found it yet!" The man approached. He was a very young man with a very friendly smile on his face, and

The backpack on his back was also full of snow, and he looked like a traveler who had traveled a long distance.

"No wonder you can't find it. We do have a bar here, but it doesn't have a bar sign. We call it 'Jack's Treasure'. Yes, that's the word. If you want to go, I can bring you

You go, but you have to wait until I put this cart of fodder into the warehouse."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" The young man stood and really watched him reverse the truck into the warehouse, dump the entire truck of hay, and then wait for the middle-aged man to come out. He was still standing on the snow.

"Let's go, young man, I want to have a drink now. Maybe I will buy you a drink!" The man said, took off his gloves, stretched out his hand to Zhen Fan, and the two shook hands, "

Anthony Hughes, you can call me an alcoholic because I like to drink and I like to be called that!"

"A very special hobby!" The young man smiled, followed Anthony Hughes, and walked toward a relatively ordinary-looking house not far away. The young man just said

When you pass by it, you can't tell it's just a bar, it's no different from an ordinary resident's house.

In fact, it's the same when you walk in. It's an ordinary resident's room. After renovating the living room, a large bar was made, and then a few tables were placed, and it became a bar. Looking at the lintel, it really says

"Jack's Treasure", it seems that the owner here is named Jack.

Jack is an old man in his sixties, with half of his hair white, but he is very energetic. There are about ten tables in the room, and only two tables are occupied, so there are only eight people in the whole bar, so it does not seem very crowded.

And sitting scattered, it seemed a bit deserted.

"Hey, Anthony. Have you brought any guests? Why have I never seen them before?" The man drinking over there greeted Anthony Jack loudly.

"I picked him up on the road. He's so hungry!" Anthony took Zhen Fan to pick a table and sit down. Then he snapped his fingers at the old man at the counter and said, "Hey, old Jack, give this young man a try."

Let’s have a pizza! He’s starving. Two more absinthes. This damn weather has come so suddenly.”

Old Jack brought two cups over. He placed them on the table with two "pop" and "pop" sounds. Then he looked at the young man, frowned and said, "Are you Asian?" When he entered the room

, some of the snow on the young man's hair has been knocked away, revealing his black hair, and his face. It is easy to recognize him as an Asian.

"In terms of preparation, he is Chinese!" The young man smiled, "I have been in the United States for more than two years, but I am still not too familiar with it. I try to walk around, so... you are here

Saw me!"

"I like Chinese people!" Anthony Hughes said with a smile, "but you are the first Chinese person I have seen, of course not on TV, but in front of me."

"Me too. Although I don't hate Chinese people, but... I won't welcome them either!" Old Jack said, turned around and left. As expected, he left without a trace of emotion. He took two steps and looked back.

Zhen Fan, "Your pizza will be here soon. Tell me, young man, do you plan to stay here?"

"Well, with such heavy snow, it seems that we can't walk today, so... if there is a place to stay, I hope to stay here for one night and then leave tomorrow!" The young man said and looked at Old Jack.

, "Can you stay here? Of course... the price can't be too expensive."

"You're lucky!" Old Jack snorted and left.

"Don't mind, he will be deeply wary of every stranger who comes to this town. This has become like this since he was robbed by two strangers ten years ago, and...he

His wife also died in that robbery! So...you understand him!"

"Of course, I understand!" The young man nodded.

After Anthony Hughes finished speaking, he picked up a glass of moxa bitters, drank it down in one gulp, and then took a breath and said: "This wine is very exciting, and I feel lazy all over. Young man, after drinking this glass, I will feel relieved."

Take off the cold! By the way, what’s your name? Can you tell me?”

"Of course!" the young man said, "Bruce? Zhen!" After saying that, he raised the glass of mugwort and drank it down in one gulp. This high-altitude wine is very effective in frightening the cold. After drinking one glass, the coldness in the body

That's almost it.

"Where are you going? Don't you have a purpose?" After having a drink, the two became familiar with each other. Anthony said to the young man, "This kind of weather really makes people afraid to go out."

"There is no purpose, no matter where you go, if the snow is really too heavy, I can only stay here, maybe I should also find a job, you know... the journey is very long, so... I always

Only by working while walking can I continue my journey." The young man gestured.

"It just so happens that I am here alone to take care of my horses. This year, that damn tramp, lazy man and thief left without doing anything, and took away my two thousand dollars and a horse, so you see

When I arrived, I had to do everything by myself, and even delayed the entry of fodder into the warehouse. If possible, I hope you can stay and help me!"

The young man thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm very happy, but... I don't have a place to live. Can I sleep in your warehouse?"

"You don't have to sleep in the warehouse. I have a utility room next to the warehouse. You can live there. Of course, you have to solve the problem of eating by yourself. I won't care about this." Anthony said to the young man, "

I can offer you fifty dollars a day!"

This adds up to a monthly salary of about US$1,500. This is a relatively suitable price for a rookie, and there is no discrimination because of Bruce Zhen's Asian identity.

"I'll think about it!" Bruce Zhen looked grateful.

"By the time you finish eating, I hope you have made your decision!" Anthony Hughes nodded, snapped his fingers and said, "Jack, give me another drink, just one!"

Old Jack appeared with a plate of pizza and a glass of absinthe in his hand. After placing the wine glass on the table, he placed the plate with pizza in front of Bruce Zhen. The plate shook and then stabilized.

on the desktop.

"Jack, where is our little bird? Why didn't he come out to help you?" Anthony Hughes asked.

"She is helping Rosalie at home. With today's heavy snow, someone has to clear a way." Old Jack said and continued to walk to the counter to clean the glass. The business at this time was very deserted. I don't know if it is usually like this.

Bruce Zhen thought about it, then finished the pizza on the plate, put down his knife and fork, then smiled with satisfaction on his face, and asked: "What is his daughter's name?"

"Rachel." Anthony asked, "How have you considered it? You know, now I need manpower to clean things. Please leave my house, warehouse and fodder. It's spring and I don't have enough manpower. I need

A helper, if you want, stay, by the way, can you drive a tractor?"

"No problem!" Bruce Zhen nodded.

"Okay, I'll take it as your promise. I can't give you a contract, but don't worry, I won't pay you a dollar less. After drinking this drink, you come back with me!" Anthony said to Bruce Zhen

said.

"Okay, sir!" Bruce Zhen didn't object.

After finishing a glass of absinthe, Anthony stood up, walked to the counter, took out a few bills, paid the bill, and said to old Jack: "From today on, this man is my employee. What is his name? Tell me."

This daddy!"

"Bruce? Zhen!" The young man told his name honestly.

"Hey, boy, I'm not interested in your name, but...I'm warning you, don't try to have any thoughts about the girl here, otherwise I won't let you go!" Old Jack stared at Bruce Zhen.

.

"Okay, let's go. There are still a lot of things to do. From now on, you will help me with the work!" Anthony said, patting Zhen Fan on the shoulder, and the two of them walked out of the bar one after another.

.

"Why does Jack look at me with a kind of hostility? Is it because I look very vicious? Is it because I am Chinese?" Bruce Zhen said from behind, "I can feel that he is unfriendly to me! I can still do it in the future.

Are you coming here to drink?”

"Of course!" Anthony laughed. "Do you know why he is hostile to you? He is hostile to all the young people in this town because he is afraid that his daughter will be raped by young people like you.

Seduction. Ah ha, to be honest, don’t worry about this old guy, being young is a very good thing.”

"Oh, I understand, thank you!" Bruce Zhen said, turning up his collar again, and followed Anthony, who was wrapped tightly and wearing a hat, into the wind and snow.
