Lisko’s American Life

Jimmy looked at him inexplicably.

"You put your cowboy hat on the bed!"

O'Nekin's shout attracted everyone in the dormitory, and everyone stared at Jimmy, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

"Excuse me?" Jimmy looked at everyone's eyes and slowly picked up his hat.

Everyone turned their attention.

Hammer came over,

"Boy, when cowboys die, they put their cowboy hats on the coffin, so don't put your hats on the bed, try to hang them up."

Take his hat from Jimmy and hang it on the wall of the cowboy dorm, where all the cowboy hats hang.

Jimmy was a little overwhelmed by everyone and stood there.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go wash up." Hammer patted him, walked to the table, and played poker with everyone.

Nights during working hours are always short, and Jimmy felt that before he could close his eyes for a long time, there was already a light in the sky, and the cowboys were all up and packed.

He also had no choice but to get up together with exhaustion.

Stand in line, brush your teeth, wash your face.

Putting on his new suit and looking at himself in the mirror, Jimmy took off his hat and touched it.

When he put it on his head, the size was just right. He looked at his brand new self in the mirror, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes full of yearning for a new life.

"Jimmy, come on."

When David entered the door, he saw this man staring blankly at the mirror, and greeted him.

"Drink a cup of coffee, can you ride a horse?"

"No." Jimmy lowered his head a little ashamedly. At this time, he was really crying about his previous life, and he didn't know anything.

David looked at Jimmy, who was holding a coffee cup in his hand and bowed his head, and didn't say much.

"You have to learn how to ride a horse as soon as possible. Our ranch has horses to train today, and I will leave one for you to train. If you train your own horse well, you will definitely learn to ride." David had memories in his eyes, and he thought of himself. first horse.

"Okay, your job today is to clean up the excrement in the cowshed, wait for Wes to tell you how to do it, and do it well." After speaking, he strode away.

Jimmy looked at his back with envy in his eyes. He wanted to be someone like David, confident and powerful.

"You will do the same in the future." He encouraged himself in his heart.

The cowboys all put on their hunting outfits, and Lisko was already riding his white horse, waiting in front of the ranch.

"Sir," David drove forward, a body behind Lisko, and took off his cowboy hat to signal.

Lisko sat on the horseback, watching Jimmy pushing a unicycle in the distance, wearing long yellow rubber gloves on his hands.

"What's going on?" He raised his chin there and asked David next to him.

"He can't ride a horse." David shrugged.

Lisko had nothing to say about this.

"Wes, in the front, Hammer and Chad are finishing, Humber is on the left, and Onekin is on the right," David arranged the work of everyone. He didn't enter the formation today, just to let the new cowboy and the cows have a run-in. And the boss is behind and ready to support at any time.

"Go." With a wave of David's hand, the cowshed was opened, and the herd of cows, which had been holding back for a day, began to run wildly under the leadership of the leader.

With a sound of his whip, Weiss leapt forward first.

"Shhhhh."

The cowboys whistled and followed the team.

Jimmy leaned on the shovel, looked at the distant shadows of the cowboys, and sighed.

Pulling the car to clean up the manure for the cowshed.

The sanitation of the cowshed needs to be cleaned frequently, otherwise it will breed mosquitoes. This work is usually done by Locke. After he left, Lisko also planned to buy a manure suction truck. There are more and more cows in the pasture, and the garbage produced every day Not a lot.

Before buying a car and returning, it can only be the work of Jimmy, a novice who can't ride a horse.

As soon as he came in, Jimmy was blinded by the strong smell.

He took out the mask Hammer prepared for himself from his pocket and put it on.

Have the courage to start breathing.

He couldn't help feeling grateful for this old cowboy with a beard and gray hair.

To encourage myself, I hammered my chest hard a few times, and started to work.

A shovel after a shovel is loaded into the wheelbarrow. After it is full, the cart is pushed to the woods behind the pasture, where there is a specially built cesspool.

Speaking of this biogas digester, it was also Lisko who took advantage of it. It was specially built by the businessman who took over his ranch. He planned to use it to power the ranch. Because it is a new technology, the cost of building this now is relatively low. No one approves.

After the merchant built it, Lisko bought it back before he started using it.

The pond cost 500,000 U.S. dollars, and the lawyer hired by Lisko was able to bargain for half of the price. In the past two years, this technology has matured, and many large ranches have begun to see the benefits, and they are all digging.

The same pond as Li's Ranch now may cost more than 600,000 US dollars.

Last year, there were few cattle in the ranch, so I didn't see any use for it. This year, it started to be used and it was very popular.

David estimates that the electricity generated here not only meets the needs of the ranch itself, but also supplies a hundred or so nearby homes, earning some extra income every year.

There is a purposely opened pouring port on the biogas pool, Jimmy opened it, and the strong biogas rushed up, making him a little dizzy as he couldn't avoid it.

Dodging the attack, he stayed by the side for a while before pouring the dirt from the wheelbarrow into it.

The garbage in the cowshed is estimated to be dozens of cars. Although Jimmy is a little thin, he is a young guy who has just turned 20, and he is still very agile in his movements.

Carriage after carriage, Jimmy stood still panting, his shirt was already wet with sweat.

Although physically exhausted, Jimmy felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He looked up at the sun and felt that he was really alive. He was no longer a piece of garbage hiding in an unfinished building and being kicked by random people passing by, or a thief who was stared at by the clerk every time he entered a convenience store. It's not that you can be tortured by the magistrate whenever you walk on the street, and it's a social cancer that pedestrians can't avoid.

After a break, he picked up his kettle, filled it with coffee, and took a sip vigorously.

Continue to push the car to work.

After the cow dung is cleaned up, it is necessary to use a water pipe to wash away the residue that cannot be cleaned off the ground. Each cowshed has its own floor drain and drainage system.

Then turn on the heat switch in the cowshed, so the ground will dry out quickly.

It is also necessary to spread a layer of hay on the ground to make the cows sleep more comfortably.

Jimmy followed the steps Wes taught him, step by step, and he hoped to finish these before the herd came back.

So maybe everyone will praise me.

Thinking of these scenes, he grinned again.

Poor man, may the world treat you kindly.
