Lisco's American Life

Chapter 76: The Rye Harvesting

Lisko received a call from Lubo. He had discussed with Random House and planned to put the new book "The Little Prince" on sale at Christmas. First, the sales of books would increase during Christmas. This book is a children's literary novel.

, when many parents give their children Christmas gifts, in addition to toys, most of them choose books.

In addition, the winner of this year's Nobel Prize will be announced in October. Everyone thinks that last year's "The Catcher in the Rye" can look forward to winning the award. After attending the awards party on December 10th, "Nobel Day", there will be

It has a great publicity effect. This year's "Nobel Prize winner's latest masterpiece" can still affect sales. To take a step back, even if Lisko does not win the award, it will not have much impact on the sales strategy.

Influence.

Lisko had no objection to this matter, nor did he think that he would be more professional than Langdon, the planner of the world's largest publishing company, in this matter.

Because the pasture is about to be harvested, Rooster drives the harvester out of the warehouse early, checks its condition, and buys parts to keep ready to avoid wasting time on temporary replacement.

The cowboys on the ranch were also ready early, and Liske also happily prepared with the large troops, ready to experience the hard work of farming.

Lisko also brought a lot of beer from the Colt bar and served it on ice.

Denver, Colorado, the state capital less than two hours' drive from Garrison, is a city with a very developed beer culture. The Denver Beer Festival held here every September is one of the three largest beer festivals in the world, and

The London Oktoberfest in the UK and the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany are well known to all beer lovers. Experts praise it as a carnival that every beer lover should go to at least once.

Garrison was naturally affected, and people here also loved drinking beer.

American beer brands are also very famous. Budweiser and Miller are household names in the world. These American beer brands have made the American Oktoberfest one of the three pillars. More than 300 years ago, a group of beer brands came from Germany, the "home of beer".

Immigrants settled in the United States and founded cities. The United States not only produced light beer that was comparable to similar products in Germany, but also created a new variety - American dark beer. Since then, "drinking" in beer halls has become a major leisure activity for Americans.

One of the ways is that beer halls have also become important places for socializing and gatherings. At that time, some large beer halls also served as hotels. Franklin, who once lived in Philadelphia, famously said: "Without good wine, you can't live a good life."

Good life." Although Philadelphia's beer tradition originated from Germany, Americans are open-minded when it comes to choosing beer. They not only brew and drink it themselves, but also import high-quality beer from all over the world. One of the most obvious examples is the Belgian beer in a city in the United States.

Its annual consumption actually exceeds that of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. This also shows from another aspect that Americans drink beer not just for pleasure, but for quality.

The Denver Beer Festival is held in September every year and lasts for three days. Beer-loving people from all over the United States and neighboring countries gather together. In addition to refreshing beer, music-loving Americans fully integrate music and beer. Traditional Blues, country and

Rock music is performed everywhere at Oktoberfest, and all you need to do is pick up your glass and shout "cheers" with your friends!

Therefore, during the busy harvest season, ranchers prepare cold beer for cowboys, so that they can take a sip and enjoy themselves in the hot summer. This condition has become a tacit understanding between ranchers and cowboys, and some cowboys even apply for jobs.

I also specifically asked if beer would be provided during the harvest season.

The cowboy in question is Locke.

When Lisko was asked this question during the interview, I was surprised. Compared with job salary, when did beer become a perk that cowboys must provide when applying for jobs?

However, the subsequent interactions also made Lisko understand a little bit. Locke is an extremely obsessed beer lover. His biggest interest is to try different beers, and he even has a little hobby, collecting different types of beer caps.

Although he likes to drink beer, there is nothing wrong with his work, so this is not a big problem in the ranch.

Harvesting in the United States is very convenient, because many ranches are equipped with professional harvesters. One person only needs to drive the machine around, and the harvest is done. It is convenient and very fast at the same time. The main job of cowboys is

Spread the harvested straw in the field, and then wait for 3-5 days of exposure. The treated straw is very popular and is purchased by professional paper mills, because the straw leaves of rye are large, the stems are soft, and the palatability is good.

, can also be used as green storage material in winter. Li's pasture did not need to prepare it before, but this year the number of calves has increased a lot. If the pasture is not enough, you can use this on top.

A good pasture manager should always be prepared for rainy days, and the rooster obviously did a good job.

The machine drove into the wheat field, and pieces of straw fell down. The wheat ears were cut into the body by the machine. The cowboys were packing bags behind. Lisko, wearing a cowboy hat, looked at this very spectacular scene and sighed that technology is really very advanced.

.

However, behind the development of science and technology, many people are also unemployed. Lisko remembers that when he was a child, his father often recruited microphone collectors from outside. This was a career that traveled all over the world.

Their life is that when the harvest season comes, they carry bags in groups. The ranchers plant too much and if they can't harvest enough, they will ask them to come over and harvest. There were many people who did this profession before.

Lisko remembered that people from all over the world came to the ranch at that time, and the rancher had to provide meals. As a child, Lisko was very excited when he saw so many strangers coming to visit his family. He went to the place where they camped every day to listen to their stories.

.

But now because of the advancement of technology, no one does this anymore.

The machine was started and rows of harvests were quickly completed. There was not much planted in Lisko Ranch, because it was just a small area to test the water in the first year, so the workload was not very large.

The wheat grains were cleaned cleanly by the machine, and the cowboys packed them in sacks and carried them to the granary for stacking. Behind them, they needed to be dried. The straw was also laid out by the cowboys guarding both sides of the machine. There were five cowboys, and one drove the car.

Two bagging, two laying straw, the manpower arrangement is just right.

The dried straw will be rolled up by the machine into round piles of straw, waiting for the paper mill to take them away and weigh them.

Lisko grabbed a handful of wheat grains from a passing cowboy sack, put it in his mouth and chewed it. It had a strong aroma of wheat, and because the starch-containing protein was hard, it was very chewy.
