Lisko’s American Life

The white residents living here never think that they belong to the same country as other Americans. Compared with Texas, which is a regional achievement, they prefer to call themselves the Lone Star Republic.

More importantly, on the flag-raising platform of the local state government in Texas, the flag of the state capital of Texas was actually raised side by side with the flag of the United States, and there was no difference between you and me.

Not only does it look out of place with the entire United States, it even often launches various parades, and the government often even carries out some actions about referendum independence.

Being able to do this has a lot to do with the identity of Texas when it joined the Union of America. Before joining the United States, Texas itself was an independent country, and it joined the United States as an independent country with the Republic of Texas. .

It is precisely for this reason that Texas often confronts the central government. In many ways, it likes to stand on the opposite side with state agencies. fun of.

So in fact, before Jimmy stepped on the plane, he knew that the place he was coming to was Texas, and he was still very disturbed and uneasy. This place in Texas is not as scary as the legend says.

Leaving from the local airport, you can see all kinds of pastures in sight. Although there are a few bustling areas filled with various high-rise buildings, the architectural style is still extremely unified and full of rough charm.

After seeing the endless pasture, Jimmy suddenly felt a sense of closeness in his heart, perhaps because he had lived in Li's pasture for a long time, and he subconsciously regarded the pasture as his own home.

"Do you smoke?"

The leading cowboy may feel that Jimmy, who is always left out in the cold, is a little inappropriate. After all, his current identity represents the 752 ranch, while Jimmy represents the Lee's ranch. Considering it from the perspective of both ranches, it is necessary to Kindness is still needed. But for a while, he couldn't hold back his face, so he had to ask a question coldly.

"Huh? Thanks, I don't smoke,"

Jimmy was holding his backpack and watching all the passing pastures along the way. Those endless herds of cattle gave him a great sense of comfort.

He suddenly heard the driver say a word, he was a little dazed for a moment, not sure if the other party was talking to him, until he felt the other party's gaze projected over, he responded hastily.

"Okay, we'll be there soon, don't worry."

Hearing Jimmy's reply, he still maintained the look of keeping strangers away, nodded and said coldly, turned around and set his eyes on the road ahead, the speed of the pickup truck along the way opened The speed is fast, bringing up a burst of dust.

"What's the difference between here and yours?"

Orser on the one side also opened up the chatter box, and asked Jimmy on the other side with a smile. He kept his eyes on all the pastures passing by, and he should like his career as a cowboy very much.

"The difference is quite big, each has its own differences. Well, I like this place quite a bit. I don't think it's like what people describe. You understand."

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders. The natives of Texas should also have a clear understanding of the ridicule of Texas by people in other American state capitals.

"Hahahaha, I like you a little bit."

Orser's laughter was full of boldness and grandeur, and he looked at Jimmy with a little appreciation in his eyes. A person who just came to the local area said that he likes it here, which is really a rare experience for Texas.

"When did you start being a cowboy? Did you like the job? What were your responsibilities at the ranch?"

Now that the topic has started, Orser continued to ask questions. After all, Jimmy will live in the ranch for two months, and he will not be able to leave until he has passed all the cowboy certification training, so that he can live together in the future. A good partner, proper understanding is also necessary.

"I started working as a cowboy two years ago, and I really like this profession. After all, I don't know what else I can do besides doing this. I am good at equestrian competitions, and I have won several prizes with us. The champion of riding a saddle wild horse. At the ranch, I am currently responsible for helping our supervisor and taking care of some assistants. As for why I can come here.”

Having said that, Jimmy touched his nose in embarrassment before continuing to speak.

"Because my mastery of various cowboy skills is the worst among all the cowboys on the ranch, everyone gave me this opportunity. I hope that I can grow from 752 ranch to a qualified veteran cowboy."

After hearing Jimmy's words, the lead driver and Oser on the side looked at each other in surprise. To be honest, since they developed the training business, there are not a few ranches that have received their invitations, and they have seen all kinds of Cowboys, but Jimmy, who used this excuse to train on the ranch, is really number one.

Most of those who come to the ranch for training come here with the mentality of competing, and they hope to make their reputation completely through the platform of 752 ranch, or to add a good fortune to their already brilliant experience. The resumes are real, and very few come here with the intention of learning. After all, to be honest, there are only a few traditional cowboy skills. It seems that except for the 752 ranch, they can be learned anywhere.

This kind of frank exchange also allowed the two to recreate an image of Jimmy in their hearts, and seeing each other's thin appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For an old cowboy who has been immersed in this industry for many years, watching a newbie suffer in various competitive sports competitions and training is the greatest joy in their lives.

"I heard that the owner of your ranch is a famous writer, is that true?"

Orser continued to ask again. To be honest, Li’s Ranch has had a lot of news in the past two years in the entire ranch industry. On the one hand, it is because of the brilliance of Lisko itself, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with the continuous expansion. relation.

However, very few people have the opportunity to communicate with Li's Ranch, so the outside world's impression of this ranch is still relatively general. It is rare to catch a staff member of the ranch, so naturally they are very curious and want to clarify the other party's confusion.

"Yes, our boss is a very famous writer, but he is also a relatively qualified rancher despite his identity as a writer. They are traditional old-fashioned ranches. The boss's father and grandfather are both engaged in this industry. Our boss There is also a lot of investment in other occupations, but we have not given up on the ranch, and our benefits are relatively high in the industry."
