Lisko’s American Life

Lisko received a call from Lubo. 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 during Christmas. This book is a children's literature novel. , Many parents give their children Christmas gifts in addition to toys, most of them will choose books.

There is also the announcement of the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in October. Everyone thinks that last year's "The Catcher in the Rye" can look forward to the next award. Great publicity effect, this year's "Latest Novel of Nobel Prize Winners" booing can still greatly affect sales. Taking a step back, even if Lisko does not win the award, it will not cause much impact on sales strategy. influences.

Lisko has no objection to this kind of thing, nor does he think that he will be more professional than the planners of Landon, the world's largest publishing company, in this matter.

Because the pasture was about to be harvested, the rooster drove the harvester out of the warehouse early, checked the condition of the car, and bought the spare parts to be ready to spare at all times, so as not to waste time temporarily.

The cowboys in the ranch were also ready early, and Lisko was also eager to prepare with the army, ready to experience the hard work of farming.

Lisko also brought a lot of beer from the Colt bar and served it chilled.

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 every September is one of the three largest beer festivals in the world, and The London Oktoberfest in the United Kingdom and the Oktoberfest in Germany are side by side. They are well known to all beer lovers and are hailed by experts as a carnival that every beer lover should go to at least once.

Garrison was inevitably affected, and the people here are also very fond of beer.

American beer brands are also very famous, such as Budweiser and Miller. These American beer brands that are well-known in the world make the American Oktoberfest one of the three pillars. More than 300 years ago, a group of immigrants from Germany, the "hometown of beer", settled in the United States and established cities. The United States not only produced a pale beer that rivaled its German counterparts, but also created a new variety, the American stout. Since then, the "bubble" beer hall has become one of the main leisure methods of Americans, and the beer hall has also become an important place for socializing and gathering. At that time, some large beer halls also functioned as hotels. Franklin, who once lived in Philadelphia, famously said: "Without good wine, you can't live a good life." Although Philadelphia's beer tradition originated from Germany, Americans are open-minded in choosing beer, not only brewing and drinking themselves, but also It also imports high-quality beer from all over the world. One of the most obvious examples is that the annual consumption of Belgian beer in a city in the United States exceeds the Belgian capital Brussels. This also shows from another aspect that Americans drink beer not for pleasure, but for quality.

The Denver Beer Festival is a three-day event in September every year. Beer-loving people from all over the United States and neighboring countries will gather together. In addition to refreshing beer, Americans who like music make music and beer fully integrated. There's rock 'n' roll all over Oktoberfest, and all you need is to grab a glass and shout "cheers" with your friends!

So in the busy harvest season, ranchers prepare cold beer for the cowboys, so that they can drink a sip and enjoy themselves in the hot summer. This condition has also become a tacit understanding between ranchers and cowboys, and some cowboys even specifically ask whether they will provide beer during the harvest season.

The cowboy who asked this question was Locke.

I was surprised when Lisko asked this question when he was interviewing. Compared with salary, when beer has become a must-have for cowboys when applying for jobs.

However, the later interactions also made Lisko understand a little. Locke is an obsessive beer lover. His greatest interest is to try different beers, and even have a little hobby to collect different kinds 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 to turn around, and the harvest is complete. It is convenient and fast. The main job of the cowboys is to Spread the harvested straw in the field, and then wait for 3-5 exposure to the sun, so the treated straw is very popular and is purchased by professional paper mills, because the straw of rye has large leaves, soft stems and good palatability , It can also be used as green storage material in winter. Li's ranch did not need to prepare it before, but this year's calf has increased a lot. If the pasture is not enough, this can be used on top.

A good ranch manager should always be prepared for a rainy day, UU reading www.uukanshu. The com **** is clearly doing a good job.

The machine drove into the wheat field, pieces of straw fell down, the wheat ears were cut into the body by the machine, the cowboys were packing bags behind, and Lisko was wearing a cowboy hat. Looking at this very spectacular scene, he sighed that the technology is really developed. .

However, behind the development of science and technology, it also bears the unemployment of many people. Lisko remembers that when he was a child, his father often recruited and received Mike from outside. This is a career that travels far and wide.

Their life is that when the harvest season comes, they are carrying luggage in groups. The ranchers have planted too much, and they will be invited to harvest if they cannot harvest. There were many people who did this job before.

Lisko remembers that people from all over the world came to the ranch at that time, and the rancher had to provide meals. When he was a child, Lisko was very excited when he saw so many strangers coming to his house. He went to the place where they camped every day to listen to their stories. .

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

The machine started, and the harvesting was completed very quickly. Not many were planted in the Lisko Ranch. Because it was the first year, only a field was drawn to test the water, so the workload was not very large.

The wheat grains were cleaned by the machine. The cowboys packed them in sacks and carried them to the granary. They needed to be dried later. The straws were also laid by the cowboys guarding both sides of the machine. There were five cowboys, and one drove. Two bags and two straws are arranged by hand just right.

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

Lisko grabbed a handful of wheat grains from a passing cowboy sack and chewed it in his mouth. It had a strong aroma of wheat, and because the starch protein was hard, it was chewy.
