Lisko’s American Life

The typhoon wandered wantonly in Garrison for several days, but luckily the ranchers and their belongings were safe and sound.

The arrogant Lynch let himself go with Lisko for a few days, and finally got a call from his father.

"If you don't come back, I'll break your leg. Beep, beep..." Lynch turned on the speaker to show off, and Lisko and him looked at each other on the sofa.

"Ha,,,,, haha," the two looked at each other and laughed a few times, feeling very embarrassed.

"This old man has softened. Don't look at him not opening his mouth. Absolutely. If he surrenders first, I will give him some face." Lynch was still stubborn.

Lisko didn't speak, just looked at him like this.

"Don't you believe it, eh? Don't go. Boy, really."

After sending away the treasure Lynch, Lisko's house returned to calm.

He opened the email and approved the daily emails that Rube and Chandler gave him every day, and his life was quite stable.

It was time to buy a calf on the ranch again, and Lisko was bored, so he planned to go with the rooster to see and see.

Early in the morning, David and the rooster came to call him.

"Lee, let's go." Lisko went downstairs, and according to the rooster, he put on an old leather jacket.

In the calf auction, there are also many little learners. If you dress well, you will be taken advantage of by others because you don’t know anything, because many farmers are present in practical denim outfits.

In Rooster's pickup truck, David sat in the passenger seat and Lisco was in the back.

It takes more than an hour to go from the ranch to the nearest calf auction site. In the United States, the land is sparsely populated, and it often takes a long time to go to one place, so vehicles are really essential here.

The rooster turned on the music, which is a jazz music called "Earth, Wind and Fire Orchestra". The style of this band can include jazz, soul, funk, gospel, blues, African folk music, rock and dance, etc. , and integrated into one, forming a unique style of music.

The three of them swayed to the music, the wind blew past the window, and the sun shone through the glass, like old friends on an outing.

"How's the cowboy recruiting going?" Lisko asked Rooster.

"Hey, don't mention it, no one has asked for so long," Rooster felt a little headache when he mentioned this. He originally wanted to hire a cowgirl to help take care of the lavender, but it turns out that women are too rare to do this kind of job now.

The car soon arrived at the auction venue, where Lisko looked like the school stadium he went to school before. There was a huge platform in the center with a simple table on it, and then there were stands on all sides on the opposite side, and the seats were made of plastic with floor-to-ceiling chairs.

Only after asking the rooster did I know that this place was originally the playground of an abandoned school.

It was a little late when they arrived, and middle-aged strong men in twos and threes had already taken their seats. There was no one as young as Lisko and not a cowboy.

"Hey, Rooster, I heard that your ranch is very profitable." A white man came over to say hello, with a blush on his face.

"Bob, are you drinking again? You will be fired sooner or later." The rooster smiled and bumped fists at him.

"How much do you plan to win this time?" Bob inquired about the situation with a smile.

"Look, maybe I don't want to buy it." The rooster is really impeccable in dealing with this situation. Every ranch has a rancher who purchases it himself, and every cowboy sent out is a veteran. Before the end, everyone may be a competitor. How to win the best quality calves with the least money also has a deep knowledge.

"Have you heard? South Ranch has calf auctions today, and it seems that there are quite a few." Bob looked around and shared information with the rooster in a low voice.

"How many?" The rooster asked hastily.

"I don't know, it's not like you don't know the rules of the auction, and I can't figure it out," Bob spread his hands helplessly. The calves in South Ranch are famous for their high quality in the pasture circle, and the competition must be fierce. Bob Bo's boss is a stingy Jew, he didn't give him much authority and funds, so it's better to sell it well and give the information to the well-funded rooster.

"Boom~"

The two wanted to continue the discussion, the auction had already started, and the noisy venue began to quiet down.

"Hi everyone, it's me again, West Kidd, and I'm here to serve as the auctioneer for this auction. Of course, the stingy venue owner didn't give me a salary increase. I just don't have money for drinks."

This is a cowboy with a white face and beard who can be seen at a glance. He is also in his fifties. Kidd was a sharpshooter in the western cowboy period, and was known as the fastest gunner in the western United States. He joined the robber group founded by the robber Cassidy and was finally shot dead. He is also the Robin Hood in the hearts of all cowboys.

Lisko didn't understand this business, so he simply sat by and didn't speak. Today's purpose is to increase his knowledge, and all matters are decided by the rooster.

"Okay, without further ado, let's get the first batch of calves. There are five hundred calves in this batch. They are authentic Simmental cattle, an excellent breed of cattle with both milk and meat. You can start bidding. This batch is on average The weight of each head is 330 pounds, and the starting price," he made a gesture at this point, but of course Lisko didn't understand what it meant.

He could only see people holding signs under the stage.

Rooster seemed not interested in this batch of cows, so he lowered his head and explained to Lisko. "The venue here is following the old habits. The gesture he made was to say the price of this batch of cattle. Every time a card is raised here, the price will be increased by 500 US dollars. People around are counting."

Rooster pointed to Lisko, and he saw people around the venue recording with notebooks.

"Although this batch of cows are Simmental cattle, and they are the type of milk and meat we need, but the situation of this batch is not very good." Speaking of this, the rooster began to speak cautiously, after all, it was surrounded by other competitors.

After this situation was carried out several times, the calves were also auctioned off for several batches.

"Okay, now is our highlight. A batch of calves from South Ranch. I believe I don't need to introduce the situation. If anyone takes pictures of this batch of calves, remember to pay five hundred dollars to the venue. After all, they are from South. We also spent a lot of effort to win this batch of high-quality goods, and the transaction price of this batch of calves should be very high, and we do not charge auction fees at the venue.”

Li Ke was a little surprised at the side. The owner of the venue is still a thoughtful businessman. He does not charge South’s auction fee. South will be used to auctions here, and the owner of the venue can use South’s high-quality goods as a boo to attract cowboys to participate. Auction, the ranch that bought the calves had no objection to paying an extra $500 to the venue.

This batch of roosters seemed to be sure to win, and they kept raising their cards. There were also many cowboys competing. In the end, many people had already surrendered, and only one red-necked rancher remained in a stalemate with the rooster.
