Lisco's American Life

207. Jimmy Sourcing

Since Jimmy entered the ranch, he has slowly learned a lot from the ignorant novice at the beginning. The other cowboys are also willing to teach him. Now he can skillfully complete the tasks of the ranch alone. Hammer is very optimistic about it.

He often praises him as a good cowboy.

No one knows better than him that it is a cherished thing for a desperate person to have a job and be accepted by others.

He drove a pickup truck to the supermarket in the town. He put on his cowboy hat and pushed the car to the daily necessities area.

"Disinfectant water, rope, and broom."

He took out the note from his pocket and made purchases one by one according to the details on it.

David has now handed over most of the ranch equipment purchases to him. It's been the second week now and nothing has gone wrong.

Jimmy followed the list and quickly gathered the things he needed to buy this time.

While pushing the cart, he hummed Garrison's country ditty and lined up leisurely behind the crowd, waiting to pay.

"We are a happy bunch of cowboys,

Horse whips are waving, cattle and sheep are flocking,

We galloped through the pastures at sunset."

William and Aidan are a pair of best friends who hang out in Big Schenk and Garrison and make a living by selling drugs.

After graduating from high school, they joined the largest local gang, the Crown Gang.

Mainly responsible for drug trafficking near Garrison. Because of his junior qualifications, he has been doing small business.

Today, their poison-making workshop ran out of raw materials, so they went out to purchase, went to the supermarket, and bought two large barrels of disinfectant.

Because disinfectant is a chemical product, after filtration and a series of operations, the hallucinogens in it can be analyzed.

When they reached the checkout, the two of them pushed each other, gesturing for each other to come forward and pay.

"Go ahead, I bought it last time."

William's face was full of impatience. Every time he made a purchase, it would be recorded by the cashier. When the number of purchases became too many, he would notify the sheriff and report that you have a tendency to make drugs.

Aidan looked at his companions and walked forward dejectedly.

"Bill, please."

The supermarket cashier clearly knew the two of them. He looked at the two large buckets of disinfectant on the counter with an expressionless expression.

"Sorry, you can't buy this. The sheriff has informed all the supermarkets in the town that they are not allowed to sell this to you."

The Sheriff, the supermarket owner, and the cashier all knew these two notorious gangsters and knew exactly what they were buying this thing for.

"WHY? We pay."

Aidan became excited. If they couldn't buy disinfectant, their poison production line would stop. They couldn't help but shudder when they thought about how their boss knew that he had messed up.

"Sorry, I can't sell this to you. If you want to cause trouble, I will notify the sheriff."

The cashier is not afraid of the two men's roars at all. He works in a supermarket and is not worried about being retaliated by gangsters. His boss is not a vegetarian either. Let alone the two gangsters, even if the boss behind the gangsters takes action, the boss may not betray him.

.

"Do you know who I am?"

William narrowed his eyes and stared at the cashier in front of him.

"I don't need to know. Do you know that this supermarket is the congressman's property?"

"snort."

William knew that the congressman was someone he could not afford to offend, so he could only point his finger at the expressionless cashier, and then pulled Aidan, who was still shouting, away from the cashier.

After walking out of the supermarket, the two came to the parking lot in front, where their pickup truck was parked.

Aidan and William sat in the cab worriedly, took out a cigarette, and lit it shakily.

"Fuck!"

William was holding a cigarette in his mouth, thinking about the gangster who had messed up some time ago. He screamed and had his limbs dismembered by the boss, then filled them with cement and threw them into the construction site to make a foundation.

He suddenly hit the steering wheel hard and then slumped down in the armchair.

"We're dead."

Aidan kept mumbling on the side, incoherently, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.

For them, their boss is the most terrifying existence. If possible, they would rather stay in the situation than be punished by the boss.

While waiting for a long time, Jimmy took a photo of himself.

Take out all the items in the cart and watch the cashier scan the code one by one.

Bored, he stared at the cigarettes next to the counter.

He looked at it and narrowed his eyes. He had already received his first salary. At this time, the one who helped him the most among the Cowboys was Hammer.

This old cowboy has always taken great care of Jimmy, taught him skills, and helped the frustrated Jimmy regain his confidence.

Hammer doesn't have any special hobbies, but he is a long-time smoker.

Jimmy put his hand into his pocket and touched the salary he had always stuffed inside. This was the first salary in his life. He touched it over and over again, and finally made up his mind.

"I'll take this and pay the bill."

He took a pack of cigarettes from the counter and threw it in front of the cashier with a relaxed expression. Of course he didn't buy this for himself. Since he started working on the ranch, he has quit smoking and plans to change his habit.

Renewal, this was a gift he bought for Hammer.

"Okay, pay here,"

The ranch's purchases are kept in accounts. At the end of each month, David will drive his car to the supermarket where purchases are made regularly to settle the outstanding debt for the past month's purchases.

Jimmy took out his salary, counted it, took out the money, paid for the cigarettes, put the cigarettes in his jacket pocket, and patted them solemnly.

After paying, he took the things he bought and walked to where he parked his car.

Aidan and William smoked one cigarette after another in the car, thinking hard about what to do.

"Hey William, look who that is,"

Aidan raised his head and happened to see Jimmy walking by the car, focusing on the disinfectant on his hands.

"Walk,"

William also saw it and opened the car door.

"Isn't this Jimmy?"

William walked up quickly, then hooked his shoulder and greeted him affectionately.

"You disappeared recently. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Jimmy stiffened as he recognized the two people he had been avoiding.

He reluctantly put down what he was holding and sighed.

"I am working recently, and I will pay you back as soon as I earn money."

"These are all small things. We are not in a hurry. We are good friends. We are not in a hurry to pay back our friends' money. Now your good friend wants you to do a favor."

William was still smiling, as if the land that had been dry for a long time encountered rain.

"What's up?"

"We want the disinfectant in your hand. How about it? Can you give it to me?"

When Jimmy heard this, his originally relaxed body began to struggle.

"You can't touch these things. I bought them for the ranch."
