Lisko's American life
Chapter 4 The Ranch Set Sail
Soon, the sky dimmed. Lisko looked at the progress of 45% of the text he had completed, and was still very satisfied. After all, this is his old line of business. Although it is a bit strange to change from Chinese to English, the tentacle is strange. The foundation is still there. This is the dignity of a writer.
The rooster has returned in a rush, and returned the remaining checks, "I bought 120 of them, all of them are in good health, and they will be sent back later."
Liske took him a bottle of beer and poured a glass of water himself. He still didn't understand the hobbies of Americans. He regarded beer as his daily drinking water, no wonder everyone had big belly.
"I believe your eyes, have you bought everything you want to buy at the ranch?"
"The seeds are all bought, the baler is also bought, and the pickup is ready. I bought it at Ruger's house in the town. I let the cowboys handle the bullpen and gate. It seems that I can finish it tomorrow. I will go tomorrow. Schenck went to buy a brewing machine, and we can plant the seeds the day after tomorrow. The wheat I bought this time is rye. I heard that the brewed wine is better and the rye bread is also more expensive."
Lisko patted the cock on the shoulder, feeling more and more that it was a wise decision to pull him out of Bo's ranch.
"Thanks, go to the blogger to buy a cow, and then bring some wine over. Paty is open tonight."
The rooster drank the beer and drove back. Lisko was standing in the garden on the third floor, watching the cars driving here. It was the people from the town who came to the party.
The cowboys on the ranch were the first to arrive. They all took their wives and children. There are currently four cowboys besides the rooster. Only David and the rooster live in the ranch apartment. The others return to the town every day. Live at home.
The four cowboys, David, Humber, Weiss, and Locke, were all recommended by Maggie. All four of them grew up in the town, knowing the basics and knowing the basics, and they are not lazy at work.
"Boss,"
The cowboys say hello,
"Go help, barbecue today,"
When the cowboys responded, they all began to get busy, putting on strings, killing cows, putting up wine, and setting up a music stage. These things are all familiar to Americans who meet once in three or two days.
Li Sike stood at the door to say hello. People familiar with the town heard that there was a paty here, and they seemed to be coming. Li Sike had to say hello one by one. He saw Bo and Maggie helping with barbecues, and the veterinarian Dell who helped move the wine. It started to drink, and Golly was kissing in the corner with his lawyer's fiance in casual clothes, and there were girls chatting around him.
"Li Sike, I heard you are rich, right?"
"Li Sike, are you disappointed that you didn't win the Nobel ceremony?"
"Lisko, is New York fun?"
Lisko was a little bit distressed. He seemed to be the prey of all the young women in the town when he was single, but he was still a Chinese man in his bones, and he was really not interested in these American women with large pores and freckles on their faces.
The rooster saw his embarrassment and pulled him out of the crowd. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of wine, "Thank you brother,"
The cock laughed and teased him, "You are a great writer, and you are very handsome. How come you are still single?"
"I have some goals. I want to wait until I conquer Nobel to enjoy life."
The rooster clinked glasses, "Yes,"
Seeing the rooster that he had prevaricated, Lisko had a headache. After he crossed over, he sent a private investigator to investigate. There is no trace of his previous life in this world. His parents, relatives, neighbors, and friends do not seem to exist. He was also lost for a long time before adjusting. 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. Weiss, the black cowboy, 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, Li Sike was also inspired by the atmosphere, shaking with the music, at this moment, he also forgot his troubles, everyone was dancing and laughing.
Sco quickly became a little drunk. He told the cowboys to clean up the wreckage, and staggered upstairs. He didn't even change his clothes, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
The next day, Lisko was awakened by the sun's rays. He rubbed his eyes with a splitting headache.
Struggling to go to the bathroom to wash, he felt a little spirited after cleaning, and threw the alcohol-contaminated bedding into the washing machine. He changed into casual clothes and went downstairs.
Jasmine was still busy in the kitchen as usual, and greeted Lisko when she came down.
"Boss, I warmed the milk for you, and breakfast will be ready soon."
Lisko sat down at the table and drank the milk first. The warm milk flowed through his throat and into his stomach.
"Hmm~"
His frowned brows stretched out, he got up and found McGonagall in the kennel, filled the dog food with warm water, touched his soft head, and returned 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 every morning when eating breakfast. In the next few years, the rapid development of the Internet still cannot cover up the newspaper market. Of course, it will decline. Li Sike also followed the locals and ordered several current affairs information.
"Damn it, tax increases again."
Li Sike saw the report in the center of the newspaper, so he didn’t hit the spotlight. In the United States, all kinds of taxes can really annoy people, and the collections are high, and they cannot be evaded. Otherwise, the behemoth of the U.S. Taxation Office will let you You will pay for the rest of your life.
Of course, the increase in taxation has little effect on Lisko. He is just habitually criticizing the president and politicians in American thinking.Liske’s industry has dedicated financial personnel to avoid taxation, and the tax rate is kept to the lowest level through the purchase of luxury accessories, donations, investments, and overseas branch offices. This is also a legal tax avoidance method for the rich in the United States.
After eating breakfast, Lisko also started to work, tapping his hands quickly, and the progress became faster and faster.
The pleasant ringing sounded, and the Nokia n73 Lisko put on the table lit up. This was the most popular style this year. Lisko suddenly remembered that he seemed to have shares in Nokia, not many, only a few tenths of a percent, Li Si Ke noted that it must be disposed of before 2007.
"Hey,"
"Li Sike, I have sent your new book to Langdon for review, how long will it be finished?"
Lisko glanced at the screen, "Half a month."
"Okay, the publishing house arranges the preliminary work here. The editors have a high opinion of this book, and they are ready to contact the scholars of liberal arts to study and prepare for the Nobel declaration next year."
Li Sike was not surprised by this result. The book "The Catcher in the Rye" was selected as a must-read book in American universities and high schools, leading the trend of literary creation at that time and affecting the lives of many people.
After hanging up the phone, Lisko was full of interest in the codewords. He was excited when he thought that he would win the highest award in literature. He didn't feel ashamed about copying, instead of letting these masterpieces disappear on him. In his memory, it's better to use it to add luster to this world, not to mention that the copy I copied is foreign.
Time passed quickly. Lisko had eaten lunch and worked non-stop, and finally finished his work in the evening. When he finished typing the last letter, he stretched his waist and could rest for a while.
He kept the documents properly, and didn't plan to hand them to the broker immediately, otherwise he couldn't explain the masterpiece he wrote in a few days.
He made up his mind to rest in the ranch well next. Today the rooster has bought back the horses used for grazing in the ranch. Lisko decided to visit tomorrow. Speaking of which he has been living in the city in his previous life and has never been riding. Horse, I really want to appreciate the feeling of riding a horse in a martial arts novel.
Time is spent in Scott Dog.
The next day, Lisko got up early and got up to the stable with excitement.
The stable was built along with the cattle pen. There were five stalls in it. Five horses were bought this time. These horses are all quarter horses used in ordinary pastures, and they are not expensive bloodlines.
When Lisko arrived at the stable, the horse delivery had already arrived. They were calling the cowboys to unload. The rooster was filling the flagon while commanding the cowboy.
Lisko didn’t plan to care about this kind of drinking behavior at work, because in his impression, he knew that all cowboys worked like this. He remembered that his father treasured his hip flask, and he accidentally touched it once. When it was broken, my father was angry for a long time, until he bought a new one for his father as a Christmas present with the cost of the manuscript.
