Lisco's American Life

After Lisko finished washing, there was a knock on the door. There were still drops of water on his head and he opened the door.

"David?"

"gentlemen."

David moved his steps with some difficulty, and then suddenly collapsed on the sofa in Lisko's room, holding out his belly, which had a high bulge, like a pregnant woman.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lisko closed the door and continued to wipe the water droplets on his head with a towel.

"Ace bet me that he can eat twenty hot dogs. If I don't believe him, I'll compete with him."

David rubbed his belly and panted for a while before he straightened out his tone.

"What's the result?"

"He actually ate twenty-four, breaking his own record."

"How much do you bet?"

This kind of gambling is very common in the United States, and everyone often makes this kind of bet every day.

"Five hundred dollars."

David stretched out his palm and gestured towards Lisko.

"So you lost five hundred dollars?"

Lisko was a little surprised. This bet was a bit big. The amount of such bets on weekdays was less than one hundred dollars.

Five hundred dollars is not a small sum. Although David's salary is not low, if Jasmine knew that he had lost five hundred dollars in a bet, she would definitely leave him sleeping outside.

"No, I ate twenty-six."

David took out the bet this time, five Franklins, from his side pocket, with a smile of victory on his face.

"Well done."

Lisko walked over and gave David a high five.

Seeing the arrogant David holding out his big belly, Lisko felt that he looked like the penguin he saw on TV. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter, sir?"

"It's okay. I'm happy for you. Go back to sleep. Tomorrow will be very busy."

"Okay, good night, sir."

The door was closed, and Lisko couldn't hold it in any longer, and started laughing.

The next day, Lisko finished his breakfast and saw Ian who had arrived late. The two girls who accompanied him yesterday were sent away by Ace with a large reward very early in the morning.

He was already very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

"morning."

Lisko closed the newspaper he was reading and greeted Ian.

"Morning, how did you sleep?"

Ian felt better after the maid brought him steaming coffee.

"great."

After hearing Lisko's affirmative answer, Ian started to eat his breakfast with confidence.

"Ace."

Ian wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth and clapped his hands at the door. Ace immediately received the message and ran in.

"Good morning, sir."

"You can make arrangements today to take my friend for a nice tour of our ranch. There are no secrets."

Ian ordered. Besides, his ranch itself has no secrets. What Lisko was allowed to observe and inspect was only the normal operation of the ranch.

"Okay sir."

Lisko saw that Ian had made arrangements and was very grateful. He didn't say much more. He owed the other party a favor and must find an opportunity to pay it back in the future.

Lisko and David followed Ace to the cowboy dormitory. Most ranches are allocated in this way, and cowboys have special places to live.

However, the cowboy dormitory in Ian Ranch is much larger than that in Lisko. After all, there are hundreds of permanent residents.

"Sir, this is our cowboys' dormitory. Some cowboys who don't go home will live here."

Ace raised his hand and introduced Lisko.

"Next to it is the stable. There are more than 300 horses here, all purebred American Quarter Horses. There are also some purebred racehorses in another stable. The ranch currently provides breeding. The outside is the horse training area. The ranch now has five horses.

A horse trainer, tame all the newly purchased horses."

"This is the cattle pen. In recent years, because the price of beef has dropped significantly, the number of cattle in the pasture has also been reduced. We have a cooperation agreement with Texas Agricultural University, and we jointly breed Heyford cattle. The beef we sell is provided by

For five-star hotels only.”

The Hereford cattle is a cattle breed exclusive to England. It is an early-maturing small and medium-sized beef cattle breed. It has the characteristics of fast calf growth, disease resistance and cold tolerance, and good adaptability. It is also a very popular beef cattle breed on the market.

"This is our planting area. There are currently 30,000 acres of arable land, all of which are planted with wheat."

Lisko looked in the direction Ace pointed, and saw an endless golden sea of ​​wheat. Thirty thousand acres was as much as his own 60 pastures.

It is estimated that the income from these wheat alone can maintain the basic operation of the ranch.

"We also have a vegetable area, most of which are supplied to ranch cowboys and villas for their own use."

There is also a large river in the Wagner Ranch. The rich water resources can ensure that the groundwater resources in the entire pasture and planting areas are sufficient and will not dry out. Even in the case of a drought, the pasture can ensure the quality of its forage.

will decrease.

Generally speaking, there is not much difference between Wagner Ranch and Lee Ranch, because like many ranches, it operates in the same way. The only reason to ensure that the other ranch remains standing is the towering oil wells.

, there will never be a crisis at Wagner Ranch until the oil runs out.,

Lisko can't learn these things. He can't steal a few oil mines elsewhere and put them under Li's ranch.

But it is not all without gain. At least they have seen the largest private ranch in the United States. It also gave Lisko and David a beautiful goal. They will be satisfied if they can develop to this point one day.

Thinking of this, Lisko was no longer interested in the next inspection of Wagner Ranch. He was thinking about setting off as soon as possible and heading towards the next goal. Those ranches that are famous for their service-oriented and tourist-oriented ranches are the ones they want to learn from.

Looking at David next to him with the same expression, I believe they both have the same opinion.

After following Ace for a whole day, Lisko returned to the villa a little tired, but the enthusiastic Ian still prepared a sumptuous dinner and waited for the two of them to return.

At the dining table, Lisko ate large portions of the food in front of him, while also thinking about his words.

"Ian."

Lisko raised his wine glass and greeted Ian.

"Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. We have learned a lot today."

Lisko clinked glasses with Ian and then took a sip of red wine.

"It doesn't matter, we are friends."

Ian saw that Lisko was very satisfied with today's arrangements and very happy.

"But we have to say goodbye tomorrow, and we have appointments to visit other ranches later. Whenever I have time, I will definitely entertain you when you come to Colorado."

Seeing that Lisko's expression didn't seem to be fake, Ian swallowed the words he wanted to save, thought for a moment, and raised his glass.

"My friend, I wish you a safe journey. I will definitely visit you when I have the opportunity."
