MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 4 Ranch set sail
Soon, the sky darkened. Lisko was very satisfied with the 45% copying progress that he had completed. After all, this is his old profession. Although it was a bit unfamiliar to change from Chinese to English, his tentacles were strange. The foundation is still there, this is the dignity of a writer.
The rooster has returned in a hurry, and returned the remaining check, "I bought 120 roosters, all of them are in good health, and they will be sent back later."
Lisko brought him a bottle of beer and poured a glass of water himself. He never understood Americans' hobbies and regarded beer as his daily water. No wonder everyone has a big belly.
"I trust your vision, have you bought everything the ranch wants to buy?"
"The seeds are all bought, the bale machine is back, the pickup is ready, I bought it at Ruger's in town, I let the cowboys deal with the cowshed and the gate, it seems to be finished tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow Da Schenk went to buy a brewing machine, and we can plant the seeds the day after tomorrow. The wheat seed I bought this time is rye, and I heard that the wine it brews is better, and the rye bread is more expensive."
Lisko patted the rooster on the shoulder, feeling more and more that it was a wise decision to pull him out of Beau's ranch.
"It's hard work. Go to the blogger's house to buy a cow, and then bring some wine. We'll have a paty tonight."
The rooster drove back after drinking the beer. Lisko was standing in the garden on the third floor, watching the cars drive here. Everyone in the town had come to the party.
The cowboys in the ranch were the first to arrive. They all brought their wives and children. There are currently four cowboys in the ranch besides the rooster. Only David and the rooster live in the ranch apartment. The others go back to town every day. live at home.
The four cowboys, David, Humble, Weiss, and Locke, were all recommended by Maggie. These four people grew up in the town.
"boss,"
The cowboys say hello,
"Go and help, let's have a barbecue today,"
The cowboys responded, and they all started busy. Stringing skewers, slaughtering cattle, setting wine, and building a bandstand. These things were all familiar to the Americans who met every three or two days.
Lisko stood at the door to say hello. People familiar in the town heard that the paty was open here, and seemed to have come. Lisko had to say hello one by one. He saw that Bo and Maggie were helping the barbecue, and the veterinarian Dale who helped move the wine was already there. It started drinking, and there was Gori kissing in the corner with her lawyer fiancé in casual clothes, and the girls chattering around him.
"Lisko, I heard that you are very rich, right?"
"Lisko, are you disappointed that you didn't win the Nobel ceremony?"
"Lisko, is New York fun?"
Lisko was a little distressed. Being single, he seemed to be the prey of all the young women in the town, but he was still a Chinese man at heart, and he really had no interest in these American women with large pores and freckles.
The rooster saw his embarrassment and pulled him out of the crowd. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of his wine, "Thank you, brother,"
Rooster laughed and teased him, "You are a great writer, and you are so handsome, how can you still be single?"
"I have some goals. I want to enjoy life after I conquer Nobel."
The rooster clinks his glasses, "Yes,"
Lisko had a headache when he saw the rooster that he had put off. After he crossed over, he sent a private investigator to investigate. There is no trace of his past life in this world. His parents, relatives, neighbors, and friends don't seem to exist. He was also lost for a long time before he adjusted. At present, he just wants to live a good life, enjoy life, and find a Chinese woman to marry and have children.
Soon the party reached its climax. The black cowboy Weiss was rubbing music on the stage, people began to twist their bodies, and Lisko was squeezed into the crowd.
He was surrounded by a group of women, Lisko was also moved by the atmosphere, and swayed with the music. At this moment, he also forgot his troubles, everyone was dancing and laughing.
Scoo soon got a little drunk. He told the cowboys to clean up the wreckage, so he staggered upstairs, without even changing his clothes, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Lisko was woken up by the sunlight, he rubbed his eyes and had a splitting headache.
Struggling to go to the bathroom to wash up, only after cleaning did he feel refreshed, he threw the alcohol-stained bedding into the washing machine, and he changed into casual clothes and went downstairs.
Jasmine was still busy in the kitchen as usual. She greeted Lisko when she came down.
"Boss, I warmed up milk for you, and breakfast will be ready soon."
Lisko sat down at the dining table and drank the milk first. The warm milk passed through his throat and flowed to his stomach.
"No~"
His frowning furrowed, he got up and found Mag in the kennel, added warm water to the dog food, touched his soft head, and went back to the dining table to open the newspaper.
The newspaper industry in the United States is very developed, and Americans are accustomed to ordering newspapers. It has become a habit to browse newspapers when they have breakfast every morning. In the next few years, the rapid development of the Internet will still not cover up the market for newspapers, and of course there will be a decline. Lisko also followed the local customs and ordered several current affairs information.
"Damn it, another tax hike."
Lisko saw the report in the center of the newspaper, and he became angry. In the United States, various taxes can really annoy people, and the collection is high. You pay for it for the rest of your life.
Of course, the tax increase has little effect on Lisko. He is just habitually scolding the president and politicians in the American way of thinking. Lisko's industry has specialized financial personnel to avoid tax. By purchasing luxury accessories, donating, investing, and opening overseas branches, the tax rate is minimized. This is also a legal tax avoidance method for the rich in the United States.
After breakfast, Lisko also started to work, beating quickly with both hands, and the progress was getting faster and faster.
The melodious bell rang, and the Nokia n73 that Lisko put on the table lit up. This is the most popular style this year. Lisko suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a stake in Nokia, not much, only a few tenths of a percent. Li Si Section wrote it down and got rid of it by 2007.
"Hey,"
"Lisko, I have sent your new book to Langdon for review, how long will it take to finish?"
Lisko glanced at the screen, "Half a month."
"Okay, the publishing house is here to arrange the preparatory work. The editors have a high evaluation of this book. They are ready to contact the scholars of the liberal arts to study and prepare for next year's Nobel nomination."
Lisko was not surprised by this result. The book "The Catcher in the Rye" was selected as a must-read book for American universities and high schools, leading the trend of literary creation at that time and affecting the lives of many people.
Li Ke, who hung up the phone, was full of enthusiasm and concentrated on typing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was very excited when he thought that he would win the highest award in literature. He didn't feel ashamed about the copying. Instead of letting these famous novels disappear in my memory, it is better to use them to add luster to the world, not to mention that I copied them from foreign countries.
Time passed quickly, Lisko worked non-stop after lunch, and finally finished his work in the evening. When he finished typing the last letter, he stretched, and he could rest for a while.
He kept the documents properly and did not intend to give them to the agent immediately, otherwise he would not be able to explain the famous book he wrote in a few days.
He made up his mind to rest well in the pasture. Today, the rooster has bought back the horses used for grazing in the pasture. Lisko decides to visit tomorrow. Speaking of which, he has lived in the city in his previous life and has never ridden a horse. Ma, I also really want to experience the feeling of riding a horse in a martial arts novel.
The time is spent in Scooby playing the dog.
The next day, Lisko got up early with excitement and went to the stable.
The horse shed was built along with the bullpen. There are five stalls in it. This time, I also bought five horses. These horses are all quarter horses used in ordinary pastures, and they are not of any precious blood.
When Lisko arrived at the stables, the horses had arrived. They were calling for the cowboys to unload them. The rooster was drinking a pitcher while directing the cowboys.
Lisko doesn't care about this kind of drinking at work, because in his impression, he knows that all cowboys work like this. He remembers that his father was very precious about his wine jug, and he accidentally touched it once. It was broken, my father was angry for a long time, until he used the royalties to buy a new one for his father as a Christmas present, and his father didn't let it go.
