Lisko's American life

Chapter 100: First Grazing

In the early morning, Lisko wore jeans and harnessed his harness. He does not wear breeches on horseback. The breeches are made of cowhide. They are wrapped around the trousers to block the dust and splashing of the river.

He took off his father's cowboy hat hanging on the wall and stroked it lightly.

This is a brown hat, with some shabby lining leaking out of it.

Lisko looked at it, as if he saw his father take it off every day and wear it on the ranch.

"BOSS." David held his cowboy hat in one hand and put it on his chest, asking Lisko for instructions.

Lisko put it on, "Go."

Out of the stable, the cowboys lined up in front of the bullpen, Lisko looked at the four people in front of him.

"Weiss, you take the lead, Humber, finish at the back, I am on the left, BOSS, are you on the right?"

Lisko nodded, the cowboys took off their cowboy hats and bowed their heads to gesture to Lisko.

For the cowboys, the ranchers are like their monarchs. They are the ranchers' retainers. This is the old rule. Many old ranches are still the same now.

Open the bullpen, and the herds begin to gather together.

The cowboys yelled and drove the cattle to run.

Lisko also discovered that the ranch is indeed insufficiently manpowered this time. This year, the herd has added more than a thousand cows. The cowboys with the most experience in the ranch are usually the leaders, because if you accidentally fall from a horse, you will really be caught The cattle stomped into mashed meat.

One person on each side, and a cowboy foreman and a cowboy to fill the gap.

The current match is small, and it seems that recruitment needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Lisko clamped the horse's belly to speed up. Everyone had a walkie-talkie pinned to their chests. In the past, cowboys used whistles when they were scattered. With the development of technology, high-power walkie-talkies are a good tool.

"Zi~David, the cattle are separated by trees, and there are cattle on the left." Humber behind discovered the situation.

David speeded up, took out the rope he carried, tied the knot, and flicked it far away, aiming at the lonely calf, immediately trapped the cow's head, turned the direction, and dragged the calf to the back row.Things like this kind of cow tacking should be done by two people. One person sets the head and the other sets the legs. It is easy to subdue, but the ranch is not manpowered. Fortunately, David's cattle tacking technique is superb, and he can do it alone.

This time Lisko discovered that he still needed a helicopter, which could be cheaper, and the view from the sky was more suitable for command.

Only after really participating did I know the current loopholes in the ranch.

Liske galloped, thinking about things on horseback.The price of a helicopter is very cheap. You can buy a good one for about $50,000, which is about the price of an ordinary car, and the fuel is very cheap. It is two-seater.

Last year there were only more than 100 cows in the ranch, so everything was simplified. In the future, the ranch will develop. Lisko plans to purchase the previous ranch and expand the scope.

After this period of life, Lisko really fell in love with life in such a high-rise building where you can't see the hideousness, so he also changed his initial thoughts. If there is a chance, he doesn't mind increasing the area.

Every American wants to be a cowboy. In Hollywood, western movies are mainstream films, and cowboy spirit penetrates into their lives.The slogan of freedom in the American spirit is the embodiment of this cowboy culture.

In their culture, cowboys appear on the big screen as modern knights who save girls from danger, or are brave, fearless and powerful knights.It is equivalent to Chinese martial arts knights, so everyone wants to be a cowboy.

Many wealthy people like to buy a pasture by themselves and experience this kind of comfortable pastoral life.

As the cattle arrived at their destination, the current Weiss had stopped.

The speed of the cattle has also started to slow down, some have been scattered around gnawing grass.

The cowboys had gathered together at this time and were eating breakfast. They were used to eating sandwiches after the herd stopped, and drinking some coffee or low-alcohol beer in the aluminum pot they carried.

"Sir," David handed over a sandwich wrapped in paper.

Lisko opened it, with lettuce, ham, and some beef in it.

"It tastes good, Jasmine's craftsmanship is still so good." Liske took a bite and gave David a thumbs up.

"Of course, she won my heart by relying on her good cooking skills." Speaking of his wife, David's face was full of satisfaction.

David is still very interested. He knows that Lisko has participated in this kind of activity for the first time, and he certainly didn't know to bring this.

Although Lisko grew up on a ranch, he still had a little understanding of the things on the ranch. Because he had good academic performance at the beginning, his father wanted him to stand out. The goal at the time was to be a lawyer, so he never let him. Participated.

Cowboys usually carry Winchester M1873 with them. This powerful gun gives them a great sense of security. In the early years, there were wild boars and bears going down the mountain.

David is a cowboy with great marksmanship. His father is a cowboy. He also inherited his father's profession when he grew up.

He seemed to notice something while eating the sandwich. The grass was moving in the distance, and he took off the gun that was stuck on his horse.

"Boom"

There was something in the grass that didn't move. David rode his horse to the destination, stepping on his stirrups and aiming along the way.

There are many ranches in Garrison, so the cowboys have been taught by the older generation. Don't put down their guns immediately if the prey is killed. You don't know if it has kerosene pretending to die or has a companion next to it.

These tips are summed up after bleeding.

Confirming that there is no situation, he bent over and picked up the prey from the horse.

"Beep beep," the cowboys saw the prey in their hands, blowing the harvest whistle, it was a fat hare.

"Supper tonight," David carried the gun on his shoulders and tied the prey to the horse's neck.

"David, good marksmanship." Lisko finished the sandwich, stuffed the wrapping paper into his pocket, and gave a thumbs up to David who came over.

"Sir, we should raise a few hunting dogs. In this season, there are many hares."

David came over to make his own demands.

Lisko touched the scum on his chin and thought about it carefully. Indeed, hares do a lot of damage to the pasture. They do not simply eat grass, but also destroy the grass roots of the pasture.

"I'll leave this to you, find a few great ones."

Lisko certainly doesn't think that his McGonagall can serve as a hunting dog. It is a small dog, a pet of his own.

Speaking of McGonagall, Lisko fostered him with Willow, and lived a very comfortable life every day. The caring little girl bathed him every day and hugged him to sleep. Lisko estimated that he was already comfortable and happy.
