Lisco's American Life

The white residents living here never think that they belong to the same country as other Americans. Compared with the regional achievement of Texas, they prefer to call themselves the Lone Star Republic.

What's more important is that on the flag-raising platform of the local state government in Texas, the flag of the Texas state capital is actually raised side by side with the flag of the United States. There is no difference between one above and one below.

Not only does it seem incompatible with the United States as a whole, it often organizes various demonstrations, and the government often even carries out some referendums on independence.

This kind of move is also closely related to the status of Texas when it joined the Union of America. Before joining the United States, Texas itself was an independent country, and it joined the United States as an independent country as the Republic of Texas.

.

It is precisely for this reason that Texas often confronts the central government and likes to stand on the opposite side of state agencies in many aspects. For the local people of Texas, seeing the United States do not live well is the biggest problem in their lives.

fun.

So in fact, before Jimmy got on the plane, he was still very nervous and uneasy when he learned that the place he was coming to was Texas. When he actually met the Texans, he was limited by the impression given to him by Orser next to him.

Texas is not as scary as the legend says.

Leaving the local airport, you can see all kinds of pastures as far as the eye can see. Although there are some prosperous areas filled with various high-rise buildings, the architectural style is still extremely unified and full of rough charm.

After seeing the endless pasture, Jimmy suddenly felt a close feeling in his heart. Perhaps because he had lived in Lee's ranch for a long time, he subconsciously regarded the ranch as his own home.

"Smoking?"

The leading cowboy may feel that it is inappropriate for him to always ignore Jimmy. After all, his current identity is to represent the 752 Ranch, and Jimmy represents the Lee Ranch. Considering it from the perspective of both ranches, it is necessary.

Kindness is still very much needed. But for a moment I couldn’t lose my face, so I had to ask coldly.

"Ah? Thank you, I don't smoke,"

Jimmy was holding his backpack and watching all the pastures he passed along the way. The endless herds of cattle gave him a great sense of comfort.

Suddenly he heard the driver saying something. He was a little dazed for a moment, not sure if the other person was talking to him. It wasn't until he felt the other person's gaze directed towards him that he responded hurriedly.

"Okay, we'll be there soon, don't worry."

Hearing Jimmy's reply, he still kept the look of keeping away from strangers, nodded and said coldly, turned around and focused his eyes on the road ahead, driving at the speed of a pickup truck along the way.

It had to go very fast, bringing up bursts of dust.

"What do you think is the difference between here and your place?"

Orser on the other side also started chatting, smiling and asking Jimmy on the other side. He saw that the other person's eyes were always on all the ranches passing by, and he must like his profession of cowboy very much.

"The difference is quite big. Everyone has his or her own merits. I quite like it here. I feel like it's not like what people describe. You know."

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders. Regarding the ridicule of Texas by people in other US state capitals, Texas natives should also have a clear understanding.

"Hahahaha, I kind of like you."

Orser's laughter was full of boldness and grandeur, and he looked at Jimmy with a little admiration in his eyes. A person who had just arrived in the local area said that he liked it here. This is really a rare experience for Texas.

"When did you start cowboying? Do you like the profession? What are your responsibilities on the ranch?"

Now that the topic has started, Orser continued to ask. After all, Jimmy will live on the ranch for two months. He will not be able to leave until he has passed all the cowboy certification training, so that he can live together in the future.

It is also necessary to have a proper understanding of your partners.

"I started working as a cowboy two years ago. I really like this profession. After all, besides doing this, I don't know what else I can do. I am better at equestrian competitions and have won several awards there.

The champion of the saddle bronc competition. He is currently responsible for helping our supervisor with some assistant work at the ranch. As for why he came here."

Having said this, Jimmy touched his nose in embarrassment before continuing to speak.

"Because my mastery of various cowboy skills is the worst among all the cowboys on the ranch, everyone gave me this opportunity. I hope I can grow from the 752 Ranch into a qualified veteran cowboy."

After listening to Jimmy's words, the leading driver and Orser on the side looked at each other in surprise. To be honest, since they developed the training business, there are not a few ranches that have received their invitations, and they have seen all kinds of ranches.

Cowboy, but Jimmy, who used this excuse to come to the ranch for training, is really the number one.

Most of those who come to the ranch for training come with the mentality of competing, and they hope to use the platform of 752 Ranch to completely establish their reputation, or to add a good fortune to their own brilliant experience.

The resumes are genuine, and very few come with the intention of learning. After all, to be honest, there are only a few traditional cowboy skills, and it seems that they can be learned anywhere except 752 Ranch.

This frank exchange also allowed the two of them to re-create an image of Jimmy in their hearts, and when they saw each other's thin appearance, a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. It seemed that they were going to have some fun next, and for everyone

For an old cowboy who has been immersed in this industry for many years, watching a newbie suffer in various competitive events and training is the greatest pleasure in their life.

"I heard that the owner of your ranch is a very famous writer, is that true?"

Orser continued to ask. To be honest, there has been a lot of news about Li's ranch in the entire ranching world in the past two years. On the one hand, it is because of Lisko's own glory, and on the other hand, it is also closely related to the continuous expansion of the big move.

relation.

However, few people have the opportunity to communicate with Li's Ranch, so the outside world's impression of this ranch is still relatively general. It is rare to catch a ranch staff, so naturally they are very curious and want to let the other party clarify their doubts.

"Yes, our boss is a very famous writer, but apart from his identity as a writer, he is also a relatively qualified rancher. They are a traditional old ranch. The boss's father and grandfather are both engaged in this industry. Our boss

We have also invested heavily in other professions, but we have never given up our investment in ranching, and our welfare benefits are relatively high in the industry."
