MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 42 christmas one

As Christmas is approaching, Bo's body is slowly recovering, and the doctor has approved him to go home to recuperate.

At the invitation of Maggie and Beau, Lisko decided to spend this Christmas with their family.

Maggie started preparing turkey and polenta after lunch, as well as some tree trunk cakes. This is Garrison's custom, absorbing some characteristics of France and Britain, because the United States is a multi-ethnic country, and there are many differences in local customs. very large.

Lisko, Colt, and Rooster were sent out to chop down the Christmas tree. These jobs should have been Bo's job, because he was the support of the family, but now his health is not good, and only three juniors can handle it.

Colt is full of energy at all times. He walks in front, filming everywhere with DV, explaining while filming. He is making material for the website's video and is ready to share his Christmas with his fans.

"We are on our way to cut the Christmas tree. In our Garrison, a man cuts the Christmas tree, which means you are already the head of a family. We have my fish-lipped brother rooster. Come and say hello." Colt turns the camera on the rooster.

"Hello, everyone," Rooster responded in a very flat manner. This is his character design, a serious brother who is easy to be fooled and unsmiling. Everyone likes to see him being irritable after being tricked by Colt.

Colt's character is a naughty younger brother, full of energy every day.

"And our good friend, the great writer Lisko." Colt also introduced it in a serious manner, "I always said that I knew him. We were brothers who grew up together. You still don't believe it."

"Hello everyone," Lisko also greeted with a smile.

Colt went to shoot the surrounding scenery again, and Lisko was discussing the work in the ranch with the rooster.

"Have the overtime staff at the ranch been arranged?"

"It's arranged. Weiss is single and his parents are gone. I arranged for him to work overtime, but I promise to give him a double salary this week."

"That should be," Lisko has no objection to this. Christmas is like the Chinese New Year. This is the time for family reunion. You must have expressed something by letting people guard the ranch alone at this time.

"How much money is currently in the ranch account?"

The rooster knew Lisko very well, and he already understood what Lisko meant when he asked, "The income from lavender plus the vegetable slaughter and beef cattle during this period, excluding the brewing equipment to be purchased next year, and the cost of lavender harvesting, I still plan to Introducing some sheep next year, plus the calves that need to be purchased, there is still $500,000 that can be used without capital injection,”

In addition to the cowboy's salary, the ranch still has some necessary expenses, but there is still a surplus, which surprised Lisko, because the ranch has not been easy to do in recent years, and he is ready to continue to subsidize the ranch. Bo This year, the ranch has lost a lot of money. First, the price of beef cattle has decreased, and the state tax has increased. Many ranchers have found themselves busy in the past few years and lost tens of thousands of dollars a year.

This shows that the rooster is doing very well, and Lisko doesn't tell him about his plans for next year. After all, he is a layman.

"Come out $100,000 as a bonus for the ranchers. The cowboys are $10,000 each, and the vegetable room is $8,000 each."

At present, the main planting areas of the pasture are lavender and vegetables, rye and beef cattle. The rye and the vegetables are all handled by the wives of the cowboys, and there are currently five cowboys and three women on the ranch, except for Wes and Rooster, who are single. That leaves more than $30,000 left.

"The rest is your bonus. Everyone has worked hard this year. Except for our ranch, which is profitable, everything else in the town is losing money."

Rooster also has no objection. Americans are so straightforward.

"Actually, our main profit is because of you."

The rooster explained to him what Lisko didn't notice.

"Your book lover's restaurant is called Bolt Restaurant. After you met him last time, the purchasing manager of their restaurant came to visit our ranch. They were very satisfied, so we signed a contract. Most of our vegetables and beef were They bought it all."

Lisko remembered that at that time he went on a tour with Megan.

"And Dr. Rusben from the hospital. He knew that you had a ranch during his ward rounds, so he ordered the hospital's ingredients to be purchased from us as well. Our share for next year has already been booked."

Lisko thought it was a little strange, and unknowingly owed such a huge favor. Fortunately, he thought of the help of the two of them this time, so he prepared a Christmas gift and mailed it. It was a handicraft fan he bought in China. on a handwritten greeting card.

"After Colt took over Maggie's bar, the rye beer brewed in our ranch would be sold somewhere, and Bolt's restaurant also agreed that they would come to investigate again when the drinks came out." The rooster is full of confidence in next year's ranch work. Man, although the order was given for Lisko's face, it was not an embarrassing thing for him, the society was originally a society of human feelings.

The Christmas tree was in the woods where the calf died last time~www.novelbuddy.com~ Lisko and the others picked a straight fir, picked up the axe, and chopped it down in three or two strokes.

Chopping down trees is a very simple thing for the rooster. He has been doing it since he was a child. He even participated in the Denver logging competition, although he did not even enter the semifinals.

Colt and Lisko were responsible for cutting off some extra branches with machetes, and soon a Christmas tree was completed.

The three of them carried the tree. When they got home, Maggie had almost finished cooking the dinner. Bo was sitting on the sofa watching TV, with gauze wrapped around his head. Although he had been recuperating for a while, his wounds had not fully grown. Well, stitches are still a while away.

Lisko put all the equipment into the tool room, took out some accessories and started decorating.

These ornaments were bought a long time ago. These Christmas decorations are generally used for many years. They are only used on this day every year, and they are put away after the festival.

Green pom-poms and red streamers decorate the house with a beam of joy. Colt also bought a Santa Claus costume on purpose.

Lisko wrote the name of the prepared gift and put it under the Christmas tree.

"Hey, Bo."

After he finished his work, he waited for dinner, and Lisko sat down to chat with Bo.

Bo is watching the game. Rugby is his favorite. Although the NBA is very hot right now, rugby is the sport that attracts the most attention in the United States.

When Christmas comes, it is the Christmas battle of various teams arranged by the league. The level of excitement is more intense than every game in the past. Many players also know that this time is the easiest time to become famous, and they all work hard to perform.

Lisko has never been interested in this game, he still likes to watch basketball, and even booked the Denver Nuggets tickets for the whole year.
