Lisko’s American Life

After Lisko finished washing, there was a knock on the door. With water droplets on his head, he opened the door.

"David?"

"gentlemen."

David moved his steps with some difficulty, and then collapsed on the sofa in Lisko's room, stretching out his stomach, with a high bulge on it, like a pregnant woman.

"What’s wrong with you?"

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

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

David rubbed his stomach and panted for a while before straightening out his tone.

"The results of it?"

"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 people often make this kind of bet in their daily lives.

"Five hundred dollars."

David stretched out his palm and gestured at Lisko.

"So you lost five hundred dollars?"

Lisko was a little surprised, the bet was a bit big, and the amount of this kind of bet was less than one hundred dollars on weekdays.

Five hundred dollars is not a small amount. Although David's salary is not low, if Jasmine finds out that he lost five hundred dollars in a bet, he will definitely leave him outside the door to sleep.

"No, I ate twenty-six."

David took out the bet this time from one pocket, five Franklins, with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Good job."

Lisko walked over and gave David a high five.

Seeing the haughty David sticking out his big belly, Lisko felt that he was 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, I'm very busy tomorrow."

"Okay, good night sir."

The door was closed, and Lisko couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed up and down.

The next day, after Lisko had finished his breakfast, he saw Ian who had arrived late. The two girls who accompanied him yesterday were sent away by Ace with a huge reward early in the morning. He is already familiar with this kind of thing.

"morning."

Lisko closed the newspaper he was reading and greeted Ian.

"Morning, how did you sleep?"

Ian's spirit felt better when the maid brought him steaming coffee.

"great."

Hearing Lisko's affirmative answer, Ian started to eat his own breakfast with peace of mind.

"Ace."

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

"Good morning, sir."

"You make arrangements today and take my friends to visit our ranch. There is no secret."

Ian ordered, besides, his ranch itself has no secrets, and what Lisko watched and inspected was only the normal operation of the ranch.

"Good sir."

Seeing that Ian had made arrangements, Lisko was also very grateful. He didn't say too much, because he owed the other party a favor, and he must find a chance to pay it back in the future.

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

However, the cowboy dormitory in Ian Ranch is much bigger than Lisco, after all, there are hundreds of permanent residents.

"Sir, this is our cowboy's 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 of which are purebred American Quarters. There are also some purebred racehorses in another stable. Currently, the ranch provides breeding. The outside is the horse training area. There are now five horses in the ranch. A horse trainer to tame all the new horses."

"This is the cattle pen. In recent years, due to the sharp drop in the price of beef, the ranch has also reduced the number of cattle. We have a cooperation agreement with Texas Agricultural University to jointly breed Hereford cattle. The beef we sell is provided by For five-star hotels."

Hereford Cattle is a proprietary breed of cattle in England. It is an early-maturing small and medium-sized beef cattle breed. It has the characteristics of fast growth, disease resistance and cold resistance, and good adaptability. It is also a popular beef cattle breed in the market.

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

Lisko followed the direction pointed by Ace and saw the endless sea of ​​golden wheat. The 30,000 acres was worth 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 for ranch cowboys and villas for their own use."

There is also a big river in Wagner Ranch. The rich water resources can ensure that the groundwater resources in the entire pasture and planting area are sufficient and will not dry up. Even in the case of arid climate, the pasture quality of the pasture can be guaranteed. will fall.

In general, there is not much difference between Wagner Ranch and Li's Ranch, because it operates in the same way as many ranches, and the only reason that can guarantee the other party's standing is the towering oil wells , there will never be a crisis at Wagner Ranch until the oil runs out. ,

Lisko couldn't learn these things. He couldn't go to other places to steal a few oil mines and put them under Li's ranch.

But it's not all fruitless, at least I saw the largest private ranch in the United States here, and it also gave Lisko and David a good goal. One day they can develop to this point and they will be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Lisko has no interest in the next inspection of the Wagner Ranch. He is thinking about setting off as soon as possible and moving towards the next goal. Those ranches that are famous for their service and sightseeing are the ones they want to learn.

Looking at David next to him also had the same expression, I believe the two of them have the same opinion.

After running with Ace all day, Lisko returned to the villa a little tired, while the enthusiastic Ian still prepared a sumptuous dinner and waited for the two to return.

At the dining table, Lisko devoured the food in front of him, while 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's okay, we're friends."

Ian looked at Lisko very satisfied and happy with today's arrangement.

"However, we will be leaving tomorrow, and we have made appointments with other ranch inspections later. When I have time, come to Colorado, and I will definitely entertain you well."

Seeing that Lisko's expression did not seem to be fake, Ian swallowed the words he wanted to keep, thought for a while, and raised his wine glass.

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