Lisko's American life
Chapter 11 Lavender
Seeing that it was getting late, Lisko drove Megan home and kissed goodbye at the door of the farm machinery shop.
"Have a great time today," Megan looked at Lisko, "Thank you."
Li Sike "Me too, good night."
The two kissed sweetly again, Lisko watched her walk into the house.
When he got home, McGonagall was running in the living room. Lisko remembered that he hadn't taken care of him since he bought him back. It was often Jasmine who remembered to come and prepare meals for him.
"Sorry McGonagall, I'll be with you every day for the past few days, OK." Lisko brushed his hair along its back.
He intends to take it out for a while, and has been at home since he bought it. He must be very melancholy.
Bring it with the rope he bought, and Lisko took it along the path of the ranch.
McGonagall went out like a wild horse, and immediately became lively. He heard the grass on the side of the road on the left, and then ran to the right to try to bite the wildflowers in the grass.
Lisko held it with one hand, controlling its speed, with one hand in his pocket looking up at the stars.
"The air is really fresh, and the stars are bright. Right? McGonagall."
Lisko talked with McGonagall and walked forward.
People always have endless emotions in a quiet environment. Lisko feels that his life is still in line with his goals.
People and things are happening unhurriedly here. People often look at the vast green pastures, and people's hearts become more open.
In his previous life, Lisko had been working and renting a two-point line every day, and was often overwhelmed by the pressure of life.
He often wondered if it would be very profitable to open a psychology clinic in the city.
The people in the city look glamorous on the surface, which one does not have a heavy heart?
Therefore, he often hopes that he can live a comfortable life of "Caiju under the east fence, and leisurely see Nanshan."
Humming Chinese songs, Li Sike leisurely enjoyed the tranquility of the night.
"Hey, Lee." The rooster was still patrolling the ranch.
Since the time when the ranch was handed over to the rooster to take care of it, Lisko was really relieved that the rooster did not live up to his expectations and has been managed in an orderly manner.
Now Bo also seldom disciplines roosters. Maybe he also realizes that roosters are not as flawed in his eyes. Now he puts all his energy on training his second son, Colt, who was stocked early. Erte is often miserable, vomiting pain whenever he encounters Lisko.
Colt had some shortcomings in Lisko's heart, and he was 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 self-entertainment.
"Rooster, drink less, you will have high blood pressure." Li Ske reminded him that Eastern thinking always made him feel that people who do not leave their hands all day long 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?"
Li Sike was a little embarrassed, "I haven't reached that point. I'm still a friend and I am very happy to get along."
Rooster is a little envious. He has been single for a long time. The people in the town are familiar people, and there is nothing suitable for him.
"Why are you still on the ranch so late? Is there anything urgent lately?" Lisko was a little confused. He hadn't heard how busy he was recently.
The rooster confessed earnestly, "The lavender is about to be picked recently. Now is the time. The rating was down yesterday. This time we are at Grade B, which is a good grade."
Here in the United States, all agricultural and animal husbandry products must first be handed over to the review department for rating and determined to be harmless to the human body. Grade A is the highest. If this type of product flows to the market, it will be high-end food. The company was robbed.
"Then pick it, it's been so long, and finally there is an account. Would you recommend a good cosmetic company?" Lisko is still keen on collecting money.
"An old customer from before came to contact me early, and the bid is not bad. This time the rating is so high, I will contact them to add some price." Rooster is also a little happy with this kind of income. After all, when Li Sko gave him a salary, he allocated Give him 2% of the annual income of the ranch. After the lavender income comes down, he can also buy a car he likes. He has been working for his own ranch before. The salary paid to him by Bo is not very high, and he has nothing on hand. Money, now he has been driving a second-hand pickup truck that Bo does not want.
Li Sike is also very satisfied with this grading. This batch of lavender was planted by the former rancher, and the pasture was not taken care of when he bought it. Unexpectedly, the income was not bad.
Lavender is usually extracted by ranchers themselves and sold to cosmetic companies. They use them to make cosmetics and perfumes. The remaining petals can be sold to other companies to make dried flowers or decorations. The remaining straw will be broken. , Made into various additives, such as laundry detergent, hand sanitizer.
With such a calculation, Lisko felt that growing lavender is still very profitable. Colorado's climate is very suitable for growing lavender, and lavender is not beautiful in the pasture, has a fragrance, and has such a high income.
"Remember to save this batch of lavender essential oil for me, and then continue to plant it after the harvest. The purple lavender is still very beautiful for people to pass by. It is inevitable that there are hot girls who come to visit, so you have a chance." He dropped the cock's shoulder and joked.
The cock is still very calm about this kind of joke. In American thinking, there is nothing to be shy about emotional matters. They can fool around before marriage. As long as they get married and swear in front of the priest, they must be single-minded. Treat the family and be loyal to marriage.
Lisko chatted here for a while, and found McGonagall, who was exhausted from running and panting on the grass, hugged the somewhat plump it in his arms, and went back to rest.
The next day, Lisko picked up the newspaper in the mailbox of the ranch as early as ever, and touched a kraft paper package. Lisko took it out and looked at the sender, and he knew that the new book was printed.
Lisko returned to the house, unpacking the package, and picked up the phone to make a call.
"Rubo, good morning, how are you?"
"Not bad. Your new book is of great quality. I can have coffee in the publishing house proudly." Lubo's cheerful voice came out on the phone.
"Fortunately, Li, you are great. The books of several writers I have signed recently are not selling well. I visit the publishing house every day in a low voice, and I have received a lot of eyeballs. When your new book comes out, those editors We invite me to drink coffee all the time, to mention the treatment, want to dig you over, talk about other things, all agreed." Lubo felt that now the suffering is coming, Li Sike’s third book completely established his in the literary circle status.
Lubo told himself in no secret that he used his signature to benefit other writers. Lisko didn't care about it. Generally speaking, Lubo was a very conscientious editor. He remembers the first book that the two of them worked together. Although it was recommended by Liske's tutor, the publishers were not optimistic, and only 10,000 copies were first printed.
Lu Bo was very unwilling. With the manuscripts, he blocked the editor of Random House every day in the parking lot. After a long time, he finally got the editor to increase the initial print to 100,000 copies. Unexpectedly, sales soared as soon as they went on the market.
"The conditions of Random House are also good this time. I rejected those small publishers and cooperated with Langdon. After all, their transnational propaganda channels are not available to others." Lubo calmly analyzed the pros and cons.
"It's fine for you to take care of it. You did a great job. I received the sample book. I am very satisfied. When will it be released?"
Li Ske looked at the booked cover. The sample book was full of book smell. On the cover, there were big titles, "Nobel Prize Nominees", "Leaders of Post-80s Literature", "Young Writers", "Yale University Recommended Reading", "Li Si New works of science".
