Lisko's American life
Chapter 244 249. Preparations for Oktoberfest (Thanks to Lan Shiyu for giving another reward)
Li Ske got up early in the morning, drove Zhang Li to the school, and then returned to the ranch with Zhang Li's parting kiss.
At this time, David had made preparations according to yesterday's arrangement, and was ready to set off at any time.
Last night, as soon as Lisko got home, David came to him and reminded him that the annual Denver Oktoberfest was about to begin.
Lisko only realized it later. He arranged it very early and prepared to take the dark beer produced in the ranch to participate in this Oktoberfest. He hoped that it would be accepted by everyone, and the beer produced by the ranch would have a clear future. Sold out.
David took the record book and walked straight to Lisko.
"Sir, we only have 13,000 bottles of beer left."
There was some anxiety in his expression, because this kind of reserve was not enough to consume the Oktoberfest. You should know that the Oktoberfest is generally held for three days, and the number of tourists and locals is as high as 100,000.
This reserve may be over in one day, but Lisko did not consider it clearly. In the first year of the ranch, rye was planted. Everyone was not sure about the prospects of this plant. Therefore, the number was deliberately controlled. Many bottles, the consumption of the cowboys during this period, plus Les and Rooster purchased a part for their own drinking, and several parties held more than half of the amount.
"Now there is no way. We are the first year this year, and many places are not ready. Let's just do it. We will increase production after our reputation gains."
Lisko rubbed his temples with a headache, but there were still many things he never thought of.
"Okay, sir, we will set off first."
David nodded and beckoned to the semi-trailer that had been loaded behind him. The car moved slowly, David got into the pickup truck driven by the cowboys behind, and the convoy left the ranch.
Lisko made an appointment with Zhang You, his father-in-law, and planned to take him to the Denver Oktoberfest, one of the three major beer festivals in the world, so Zhang You waited at home very early. Seeing Lisko came back, he did not stay and was already sitting. Lisko’s Picari is gone.
Lisko didn't delay his time either, he turned the engine directly to keep up with the convoy ahead.
The Denver Oktoberfest is the largest Oktoberfest event in the United States, usually held for three days.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 are open-minded in choosing beer, not just 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.
Every year to this day, many celebrities and beer lovers from all over the world come to participate, which greatly promotes the economic benefits of Denver.
Moreover, the Oktoberfest also has the interest of a music festival. There are many singers who sing from the Oktoberfest and they are sought after before they become popular.
Traditional Blues, country and rock music are all performed in various places of the Oktoberfest. Whether you like beer, music, or simply want to visit the natural scenery of Denver, Oktoberfest can get what you want.
Li Sike is driving a car on the road, and you can see that there are many more cars on the road recently. These are all brewers who have prepared in advance to come to Denver to decorate their stalls.
Originally Lisko’s ranch beer was not eligible to participate, but Lisko was a native local snake. He originally rejected his organizer. On the phone of a local councillor, he cordially welcomed David and the others to enter the venue and gave him one. At the corner, although it is not the best golden location for the entire Oktoberfest, there is a lot of traffic.
Although Lisko did not approve of this kind of behavior, it was unfair to many participating wineries to go through the back door, but this time he benefited from him, and he could only accept it awkwardly.
Thanks to the staff’s kindness, David parked his car at his stall, and all the small and large businesses next to him put beer on their stalls. After all, the Oktoberfest will officially open tomorrow, leaving time for everyone Not very sufficient.
Li Ske parked the car and got out of the car. Zhang You looked around the scenery with great interest. He has not participated in this kind of activity. Although China has a very famous Tsingtao Beer Festival, it is restricted by work and family. , He has always been more fascinating and unseen.
Lisko took off his sunglasses. The Denver sun in September was very big. He rolled up his cuffs and planned to help.
"Sir, we just have to come,"
David quickly refused. They were ashamed of how they could get their boss to work together with their salary.
Seeing David's serious expression and powerful movements, he didn't plan to let himself get started, Lisko could only give up, and withdrew his idea of helping.
Seeing Lisko’s actions, the cowboys worked more vigorously. They moved them up and down and cleaned up the beer they brought on the car. These beers were packed in a custom plastic frame, each bottle of 500ml, one piece Twelve bottles.
This counts down to more than one thousand and one hundred pieces. For the five cowboys, it is not a small amount of work, but the good thing is that they often do physical work on the ranch, so they are still suitable for this job.
The Oktoberfest not only needs beer, but also a lot of snacks. Lisko saw the neatly arranged food stalls, including burritos, potato balls, sandwiches, various burgers, and chicken nuggets.
The Oktoberfest is not only a huge carnival for many beer manufacturers, but also a feast for many small stalls.
Li Ske remembered the report he saw last year that a stall specializing in fried chicken had a daily income of 25,000 US dollars.
In order to protect the huge economic benefits brought to itself by this annual grand Oktoberfest, Denver deliberately set aside a place in the urban area and built a venue to hold annual gatherings. It also dispatched the health department to strictly inspect each The sanitation of the stalls, for fear of food poisoning scandals, so the stalls that can be set up here are all businesses that have been tested by the Denver government for safety and health.
