Lisco's American Life
Chapter 48 Pasture pests
Beau had his stitches removed after Christmas, but he was still recuperating at home. Both Rooster and Colt breathed a sigh of relief.
Investment companies in New York are also proceeding according to the plan. They mortgaged many high-quality stocks held by the company and borrowed a lot of funds from Citibank. The money was divided into two parts. On one side, it purchased bonds for Olga Bank, and on the other side, its own investment company repaid the loan.
After sweeping the goods, a two-pronged approach, this feast on Wall Street has also been noticed by many fund leaders with keen sense of smell. Investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are taking the lead in the charge. Chandler is an elite in the industry. In Liske
After arranging the tasks, I registered the offshore fund and started from various aspects.
The billion dollars invested by Li were not conspicuous at all in this operation. Occasionally, someone would notice it and would just think that the CEO of this company had better luck and seized the opportunity. The famous hedge fund manager John Paulson
, he earned US$20 billion in profits by shorting subprime mortgages, became famous in one fell swoop, and was hailed as the "Short God."
Leaving professional matters to professionals, Lisko made up his mind to slowly withdraw from the market at the end of 2008 without taking the last sip of soup.
He tidied the vegetable garden every day, wrote some manuscripts of "The Little Prince", and lived a leisurely life.
"Hmm~" Lisko stretched his waist.
The sun was shining brightly today. He had been writing for more than two hours, so it was time to go down and take a look around.
Pour a cup of boiling water and make some green tea.
Americans generally don’t have hot water kettles. Lisko bought this one specially in New York. They don’t like drinking hot water. The green tea was given by a British friend. It is said that it is high-end tea. The British tea culture is also
Very famous, but I drink more black tea than green tea.
Lisko was walking around the yard with a tea cup, and Mag was spinning around on the side. He often couldn't remember his owner and he was used to it. This is where dogs are better than cats. Cats love to be clingy. Dogs love to be clingy.
Sometimes you ignore it, but when you think of it, it is still very enthusiastic.
Lisko was taking a walk in the yard. Although the pasture was still bare, the rooster had sown new pasture seeds.
The cowboys didn't respond well to the pasture seeds last time. That kind of grass didn't seem to adapt to Garrison's weather. This time the rooster carefully selected a better variety, "Alfalfa", which is known as the king of pasture.
Alfalfa is a perennial leguminous forage and the most planted forage species in the country and even the world. It has the advantages of wide adaptability, high yield, and good quality.
It is said to produce beautiful purple flowers, and many pastures like to plant this grass.
Some time ago, the cowboy Humber resigned from the ranch. It was said that he had a girlfriend in San Francisco and wanted to go there to develop. Lisko had to wish him a happy life in the future. This time the ranch recruited a new cowboy, and Lisko specifically requested a girl.
Cowboy, Rooster and Wes don't have girlfriends. Although there are several female employees on the ranch, one is David's wife Jasmine and the other is Locke's wife. Nowadays, one of the big profits in the ranch is lavender. This kind of thing is rough and rough.
Cowboys don't like to take care of their feet.
Lisko walked to the vegetable garden. The ranch now has two vegetable gardens. One is the one in Lisko's backyard. It is about the size of a basketball court. Most of the output is for Lisko himself and the cowboys of the ranch.
, planted potatoes, radishes, and winter melons that I have never seen here. Li Scott specially went to Chinatown to buy them. The other area is mainly planted with cabbage and lettuce, which are supplied to supermarkets in the town and Boulder restaurants.
It's funny to say that people in the winter melon pasture planted by Lisko were very curious. They didn't think this thing was edible, and they had never seen it. Lisko made bets with many people with it, and he won every time.
Colt and Rooster were still unconvinced and felt that they would definitely not be able to eat it. It was not until Lisko made a winter melon and chicken soup, and when the two of them ate the noodles with gusto, they reluctantly took out the twenty-dollar bet.
"Hey" Liske found that there were bugs on many vegetables in the vegetable garden. He turned over the vegetable leaves and found a lot of fat white caterpillars gnawing on them. The leaves at the bottom were also gnawed into pits with many holes. If you don't pay attention at ordinary times,
Even if you can't find it yet, this insect knows how to eat from unnoticed places.
In the United States, if vegetables are treated with insecticides, their value will drop to worthless. Here they advocate pure natural vegetables without pesticides. The vegetables sold must be sent to the food hygiene and health department for testing. If there are pesticide residues, they will not be worth anything.
is allowed to be sold, not to mention that Lisko's main customers are high-end restaurants and supermarkets.
"Uncle Lin, I'm Liske." Liske now starts to have a Northeastern accent when he speaks Mandarin, so the Northeastern accent is really the most contagious in Chinese.
"What's wrong, nephew? Why haven't you visited your uncle recently?" Lin Guozhong's tone was very enthusiastic. He had a very good impression of Lisko, a third-generation Chinese.
"There are a lot of things going on during this period. After a while, I will ask my uncle and Aunt Yu to come over as guests," Lisko also apologized a little. When he went to the Lin family, the Lin family entertained him grandly. Recently, he has been wanting to invite their family over.
Look, I have been busy with various things.
"That's right, you are the brother of Lin Qi. We are the same family."
Speaking of this, the two of them really did it that day, but Lisko had no grudges. Lin Qi has all the good characteristics of Northeastern people, enthusiasm, hospitality, generosity, and frankness. Lisko has such a brother.
Not bad.
Later, they often contacted each other on mobile phones, and Lynch often showed him off all kinds of cool movie and animation props that he handmade.
"That's right, uncle, I've found a lot of insect pests in my vegetable garden recently, but the contract I signed with the restaurant doesn't allow the use of insecticides, so I want to ask you, a veteran, with your rich life experience, if there is any way to get rid of them.
Bug." Lisko explained this request.
Before Lin Guozhong went abroad, he was a farmer who had been farming for more than ten years. He had lived in the countryside since he was a child, and followed his father to take care of crops. He knew everything about farming, but he also knew a few things.
"You can't use pesticides? This is simple. Add garlic and chili pepper water. The chili pepper needs to be very spicy. I'll ask Lin Qi to get it for you. You, a great writer, don't understand this. You, Uncle Lin, are an old man." Lin Guozhong quickly said.
The method is given. Two highly pungent seasonings are broken into pieces, added with water, and sprayed on the green vegetables. This will not affect the growth of the vegetables, but also stimulate these gnawing insect pests.
Lisko was also a person living in a small city in his previous life. In this life, he has been busy with his studies and career, but he doesn't understand these life tips at all.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Lin. If it can't be solved, the ranch may suffer a lot this time," Liske's attitude was very sincere. There are always many people in life who can teach you knowledge. In his opinion, there are some unsolvable things that cannot be solved by others.
It might be really simple there.
