Lisko's American life

Liske received a call from Lubo, and he discussed with Random House that the new book "The Little Prince" is going to be sold at Christmas. First, the sales of books will increase at Christmas. This book is a children's literary novel. In addition to toys, most parents choose books as Christmas gifts for their children.

There will also be the announcement of the winners of the Nobel Prize in October. Everyone thinks that last year’s "The Catcher in the Rye" can look forward to the next award. On December 10th, this "Nobel Day" will be after the awards party. A great publicity effect, this "Nobel Prize Winner's Newest Masterpiece" this boo head can still affect sales very much. Taking a step back, even if Lisko does not win the prize, it will not cause much to the sales strategy. influences.

Lisko had no objection to this kind of thing, nor would he think he would be more professional than the planners of Langdon, the world's largest publishing company, in this matter.

Because the ranch is about to be harvested, the rooster takes the harvester out of the warehouse early to check the condition of the car, buy the spare parts and prepare them at all times, so as not to waste time temporarily.

The cowboys of the ranch were also prepared early, and Li Sko also enthusiastically followed the preparations with the large army, ready to experience the hard work of the busy farming.

Lisko also moved a lot of beer from the Colt Bar and served it on ice.

Denver, Colorado, the capital of the state less than two hours’ drive from Garrison, is a city with a very developed beer culture. The Denver Beer Festival held here in September is one of the three largest beer festivals in the world. The London Oktoberfest in the UK and the Oktoberfest in Germany are tied together. They are well known by all beer lovers. Experts praise it as-every beer lover should go to a carnival at least once.

Garrison was inevitably affected, and people here also love beer.

American beer brands are also very famous, Budweiser, Miller, these well-known American beer brands in the world, so that the American Oktoberfest also occupies one of the three pillars.More than 300 years ago, a group of immigrants from Germany, the "land of beer" settled in the United States and established cities.The United States not only produced light beer comparable to similar products in Germany, but also created a new variety-American dark beer.Since then, the "bubble" beer hall has become one of the main leisure methods for Americans, and the beer hall has also become an important place for socializing and gathering.At that time, some large beer halls also served as hotels.Franklin, who once lived in Philadelphia, has a famous saying: "If you don't have good wine, you can't live a good life." Although the beer tradition in Philadelphia originated from Germany, Americans have an open mind in choosing beer, not only brewing and drinking, It also imports high-quality beer from all over the world.The most obvious example is that the annual consumption of Belgian beer in a city in the United States unexpectedly exceeds that of Brussels, the capital of Belgium.This also shows from another aspect that Americans drink beer not for pleasure, but for quality.

The Denver Oktoberfest is held in September every year and lasts for 3 days. Beer-loving people from all over the United States and neighboring countries will gather together. In addition to refreshing beer, Americans who like music let music and beer fully integrate. The traditional Blues, the country still There are rock music performed in various places of the Oktoberfest, and all you need is to pick up the glass and shout "cheers" with your friends!

Therefore, during the busy harvest season, the rancher prepares cold beer for the cowboys so that they can have a sip in the hot summer.This condition has also become a tacit understanding between ranchers and cowboys, and even some cowboys will specifically ask if they will provide beer during the harvest season.

The cowboy who asked this question was Locke.

When Lisko asked this question during an interview, he was surprised. Compared with the salary, when beer has become a must-provided salary when applying for a cowboy.

However, after getting along, Lisko understood a little bit. Locke is an obsessive beer lover. His biggest interest is to try different beers, and even a little hobby, collecting different varieties of beer caps.

Although he likes to drink beer, there is nothing wrong with his work, so this is not a big problem in the ranch.

Harvesting in the United States is very convenient, because many ranches are equipped with professional harvesters. It only needs one person to drive the machine around and the harvest is complete. It is convenient and fast. The main job of cowboys is Pave the harvested straw in the field and wait for 3-5 exposure. The treated straw is very popular and is purchased by professional paper mills. Because the rye has large leaves, soft stalks and good palatability It can also be used for green storage in winter. Li’s pasture did not need to prepare it before, but this year’s calves have increased a lot. In case the pasture is not enough, you can use this to top it.

A good ranch manager is to take precautions at all times, and the rooster is obviously doing well.

The machine drove into the wheat field. Pieces of straw fell down. The wheat ears were cut into the body by the machine. Cowboys were wrapped in bags and Lisko wore cowboy hats. Looking at this spectacular scene, I sighed that technology is so advanced. .

However, behind the development of science and technology, it also carried the unemployment of many people. Li Ske remembered that when he was young, his father often recruited wheat customers from outside. This was a career that went north and south.

Their lives are in the harvesting season. They are carrying their bags in droves. The ranchers plant too much, and they will be invited to harvest if they can’t harvest. There were many people who did this job before.

Li Sike remembers that when people from all over the world came to the ranch, the rancher wanted to provide food. When he was a child, Li Sike saw so many strangers coming to visit his house. He was very excited. Every day he went to the place where they camped and listened to their stories. .

But now because of the development of technology, no one does this anymore.

The machine started up and quickly completed a series of harvests. The Lisko ranch didn't grow much, because it was the first year that I just set a spot to test the water, so the workload was not very large.

The wheat grains were cleaned by the machine. The cowboys packed them in gunny bags and carried them to the granary. The back was needed to be dried. The straw was also spread by the cowboys guarding both sides of the machine. Five cowboys, one driving, Two for bagging and two for laying straws, which were arranged by hand.

The dried straw will be rolled up by the machine into round straw piles, waiting for the paper mill to pull away and weigh.

Lisko grabbed a handful of wheat grains from a passing denim sack, put it in his mouth and chewed it. It has a strong wheat aroma and is very chewy because of the hard starchy protein.
