Lisco's American Life

Jimmy looked at him inexplicably.

"You left your cowboy hat on the bed!"

Ernekin's shout attracted everyone in the dormitory. Everyone stared at Jimmy, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.

"Excuse me?" Jimmy looked at everyone's eyes and slowly picked up his hat.

Only then did everyone turn their attention.

Hammer came over,

"Boy, when cowboys die, they will put their cowboy hats on the coffin, so don't put your hats on the bed, hang them up as much as possible."

He took Jimmy's hat from his hand and hung it on the wall of the cowboy dormitory, where all the cowboy hats were hung.

Jimmy was a little overwhelmed by everyone and stood there blankly.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go and wash up." Hammer patted him, walked to the table, and started playing poker with everyone.

Nights during working hours were always short, and Jimmy felt that before he had closed his eyes for long, there was already light in the sky, and the cowboys had all gotten up to clean up.

He had no choice but to get up together with fatigue.

Stand in line, brush your teeth, wash your face.

After putting on his new suit and looking at himself in the mirror, Jimmy took off his hat and touched it.

Wearing it on his head, the size was just right. He looked at his new self in the mirror, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes were full of longing for a new life.

"Jimmy, come on."

David walked in and saw this man staring blankly in the mirror and saying hello.

"Have a cup of coffee. Can you ride a horse?"

"No." Jimmy lowered his head in shame. At this time, he was really sobbing about his previous life. He didn't know anything.

David looked at Jimmy, who was holding a coffee cup with his head lowered, and didn't say much.

"You should learn to ride a horse as soon as possible. We have horses to train in our ranch today. We will leave one for you to train. If you train your own horse well, you will definitely learn to ride." David's eyes were full of memories, and he thought of himself.

the first horse.

"Okay, your job today is to clean up the feces in the cowshed. Wes will tell you how to do it later. Do it well." After that, he strode away.

Jimmy looked at his back with envy in his eyes. He wanted to be someone like David, confident and powerful.

"You will be like this in the future." He encouraged himself in his heart.

The cowboys all mounted their horses in hunting attire, and Lisko was already riding his white horse, waiting in front of the ranch.

"Sir," David drove his horse forward, one position behind Lisko, and took off his cowboy hat to signal.

Lisko sat on the horse and looked at Jimmy pushing a wheelbarrow in the distance, wearing long yellow rubber gloves on his hands.

"What's going on?" He raised his chin and asked David next to him.

"He can't ride a horse." David shrugged.

Lisko had nothing to say about this.

"Wes, in front, Hammer and Chad are finishing up, Humber is on the left, and Ernekin is on the right," David arranged everyone's work. He did not enter the formation today just to let the new cowboys have a run-in with the herd.

And the boss is always ready to support you.

"Go." David waved his hand, the cowshed was opened, and the cows that had been holding back all day began to run wildly under the leadership of the leader.

With a crack of his riding whip, Weiss was the first to leap off.

"Boohoo."

The cowboys whistled and followed the team.

Jimmy was holding a shovel on one side, looking at the retreating shadows of the cowboys, and sighed.

Pulling the cart to clean up manure in the cowshed.

The cowshed must be cleaned frequently, otherwise mosquitoes will breed. This job is usually done by Locke. After he leaves, Lisko also plans to buy a manure suction truck. There are more and more cattle in the pasture, and the garbage produced every day

Quite a lot.

Before he came back without buying a car, it could only be the job of Jimmy, a novice who couldn't ride a horse.

As soon as he entered, Jimmy was overwhelmed by the strong smell and couldn't keep his eyes open.

He took out the mask that Hammer prepared for himself from his pocket and put it on.

Only then did I have the courage to start breathing.

He couldn't help but feel grateful to this old cowboy with gray beard and gray hair.

Encourage yourself, hit your chest hard several times, and start working.

One shovel after another was loaded into the wheelbarrow. After it was full, the wheelbarrow was pushed to the woods behind the pasture, where there was a specially built manure pit.

Speaking of this biogas digester, Liske also took advantage of it. It was specially built by the businessman who took over his ranch and planned to use it to power the ranch. Because it is a brand-new technology, the cost of building this now is relatively low.

No one recognizes it.

After the businessman built it, Lisko spent money to buy it back before it was used.

The cost of this pond was US$500,000. The lawyer hired by Lisko negotiated the price and paid an additional half of the price. In the past two years, this technology has matured, and many large ranches have begun to see the benefits and have started to dig it.

Similarly, a pool similar to that of Lee's Ranch may now cost more than $600,000.

There were few cattle in the pasture last year, so we didn't see any use for it. It was put into use this year and has been very popular.

David estimated that the electricity generated here not only meets the needs of the ranch itself, but can also be supplied to about a hundred nearby households, and can also earn some extra income every year.

There was a specially designed pouring spout on the methane pit. Jimmy opened it, and the strong methane rushed up. It was inevitable that he was a little dizzy.

He dodged the attack and waited for a while before pouring the dirt into the wheelbarrow.

The garbage in the bullpen is estimated to be dozens of cars. Although Jimmy's body is a little thin, he is still a young man who has just turned 20, and he can still move very quickly.

Car after car was transported, Jimmy stood there panting heavily, his shirt was already wet with sweat.

Although he was very tired, Jimmy felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He raised his head and looked at the sun, feeling that he was truly alive. He was no longer a piece of garbage hiding in a rundown building and being kicked by people who walked by. He was no longer a thief who was stared at by the clerk every time he entered a convenience store.

, you can’t be kidnapped by the police anytime you walk on the street, and you are no longer a social cancer that pedestrians avoid.

After a break, he picked up his kettle, filled it with coffee, and took a sip.

Keep pushing the car and work.

After the cow dung is cleaned, water pipes must be used to wash away the remaining residue on the ground. Each cowshed has its own floor drain and drainage system.

Then turn on the heating switch in the cowshed, so that the ground will dry out quickly.

You also need to spread a layer of hay on the ground to make the cows sleep more comfortably.

Jimmy followed the steps that Wes taught him and completed them step by step. He hoped to finish them before the cattle came back.

Maybe people will praise me this way.

Thinking of these scenes, he grinned again.

Unfortunate person, may you be treated gently by the world.
