MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 11 Lavender
Seeing that it was getting late, Lisko drove Meghan home, and they kissed goodbye in front of the farm machinery store.
"I had a great time today," Megan looked at Lisko, "Thank you."
Lisko: "Me too, good night."
The two kissed reluctantly again, and Lisko watched her walk into the room.
When he got home, Mag was running in the living room. Lisko remembered that since he bought him back, he hadn't taken good care of him. Often it was Jasmine who remembered coming over to prepare meals for him.
"I'm sorry Mag, I'll be with you every day these few days, okay?" Lisko brushed his hair along its back.
He intends to take it out for a walk. He has been staying at home since he bought it. He must be very melancholy.
Bring it the rope he bought, and Lisko walks it down the path of the pasture.
Mag went out the door like a wild horse, and immediately became lively. He smelled the grass by the road from the left, and then ran to the right to try to bite off the wild flowers in the grass.
Lisko pulled it with one hand, controlling its speed, and put one hand in his pocket and looked up at the starry sky.
"The air is really fresh, and the stars are bright. Right? Mag."
Lisko chatted with Mag and walked forward.
People always have endless emotions in a quiet environment. Lisko feels that his life is still very much in line with his goals.
Here people and things happen unhurriedly, often looking at the green and vast pastures, people's hearts become wider.
In his previous life, Lisko was working and renting a house every day, and was often devastated by the pressure of life.
He often thinks that it would be very profitable to open a psychological clinic in the city.
People in the city look bright and bright on the surface, but who doesn't have a heavy heart?
Therefore, he often hopes that he can live a free life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely."
Humming a Chinese song, Lisko leisurely enjoyed the tranquility of the night.
"Hey, Li." The rooster was still patrolling the pasture.
Since the time when the ranch was handed over to the rooster, Lisko was really relieved, and the rooster did not live up to his expectations, and the management has been orderly.
Now Bo also seldom disciplines cocks. Maybe he also realizes that **** are not as defective as he thinks. Erte was often miserable, and whenever he met Lisko, he vomited bitterly.
Colt had some shortcomings in Lisko's heart. He was very happy to see a crooked branch being trimmed for Bo's training.
The rooster still holds the eternal jug in his hand, taking a sip from time to time for his own amusement.
"Rooster, drink less, you will have high blood pressure." Lisko reminded him that Eastern thinking always made him feel that people who drink alcohol all day will not be in good health.
The rooster waved his hand nonchalantly. In his opinion, everyone lives like this.
"Colt said, you recently found a hot girl girlfriend, really?"
Lisko was a little embarrassed, "I haven't gotten to that point yet, I'm still a friend, and I'm very happy to get along."
Rooster is a little envious. He has been single for a long time. Everyone in the town is familiar, and there is nothing suitable for him.
"Why are you still on the ranch so late? Is there anything urgent recently?" Lisko was a little puzzled, he hadn't heard how busy he was recently.
The rooster explained seriously, "Lavender is about to be picked recently, and now is the right time. The rating was down yesterday. We got a B grade this time, which is a good grade."
Here in the United States, all agricultural and animal husbandry products must first be graded by the audit department to determine that they are harmless to the human body, and then graded. Grade A is the highest. When this type of product flows into the market, it will be rejected by high-end food. Companies **** it up.
"Then let's pick. After so long, I finally got money. Do you recommend a good cosmetic company?" Lisko is still very keen on collecting money.
"Some old customers from the past came to contact them early, and the bids are not bad. This time the rating is so high, I will contact them to increase the price." Rooster is also a little happy about this kind of income. After all, when Lisko set his salary, he allocated Give him 2% of the annual income of the ranch. When the lavender income comes down this time, he can also buy a car he likes. He has been working for his ranch before, and the salary given to him is not very high, and he has nothing on hand Qian, now he has been driving a second-hand pickup that Bo does not want.
Lisko is also very satisfied with the grading this time. This batch of lavender was planted by the former rancher, and the ranch has not been taken care of when he bought it. He did not expect the income to be good.
Lavender is generally extracted by ranchers themselves and sold to cosmetic companies. They use it to make cosmetics and perfumes. The remaining petals can be sold to other companies to be used as dried flowers or decorations, and the remaining straws will be broken. , Made into various additives, such as laundry detergent, hand sanitizer.
Lisko thinks that it is very profitable to grow lavender. The climate in Colorado is very suitable for growing lavender, and lavender does not look good in the pasture, it smells good, and it has such a high income.
"Remember to save a little of this batch of lavender essential oil for me, and then continue to plant it after the harvest is over. The purple lavender is still very beautiful for people to pass by. There must be hot girls who come to visit, so you have a chance." Lisko bumped He tapped the cock's shoulder and joked.
The rooster is still very calm about this kind of joke. In the American way of thinking, there is nothing to be shy about emotional matters. They can mess around before marriage. As long as they get married and swear in front of the priest, they must be wholeheartedly. Treat family and be loyal to marriage.
Lisko chatted here for a while, found Mag who was exhausted from running and panting on the grass, hugged the chubby dog in his arms, and went back to rest.
The next day, Lisko picked up the newspaper in the ranch mailbox as early as usual, and found a kraft paper package. When Lisko took it out and looked at the sender, he knew that the new book had been printed.
Lisko returned to the room, UU was reading www. uukanshu.com picked up the phone while unpacking the package.
"Lubo, good morning, how are you doing?"
"Not bad. Your new book is of great quality. I can drink coffee at the publishing house with pride." Lu Bo's cheerful voice came from the phone.
"Li, fortunately, you are amazing. The books of several writers I signed recently are not selling well. I visit the publishing house in a low voice every day to promote it with all my heart, and I have received a lot of scorn. As soon as your new book came out, those editors They invite me to drink coffee all day long, offer treatment, want to dig you over, and agree to talk about anything else." Lu Bo feels that now all the hard work has come, and Lisko's third book has completely established his reputation in the literary circle. status.
Lubo told himself unabashedly that he used his brand to benefit other writers. Lisko didn't care. In general, Lubo was a very conscientious editor. He remembered the first book they collaborated on. Although there was a recommendation from Liske's mentor, the publishers were not optimistic, and the first print was only 10,000 copies.
Lu Bo was very unwilling. With the manuscript, he stopped in the parking lot every day to stop the editor-in-chief of Random House. It took a long time for the editor-in-chief to increase the first printing to 100,000 copies. Who knows that the sales will skyrocket as soon as it goes on sale.
"Random House's conditions this time are also good. I rejected those small publishing houses and still cooperate with Random House. After all, their transnational publicity channels are not available to others." Lu Bo calmly analyzed the pros and cons.
"You can handle these things as you see fit. You did a great job. I received the sample book, and I am very satisfied. When will it be released?"
Lisko looked at the cover he had ordered before. The sample book was full of the scent of books. The big titles on the cover were "Nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature", "Leader in Post-80s Literature", "Young Writer", "Recommended Reading by Yale University", "Li Si New Works".
