Lisko’s American Life

Chapter Eleven Lavender

Seeing that it was getting late, Lisko drove Megan home, and they kissed goodbye at the door of the agricultural machinery shop.

"I had a great time today," Megan looked at Lisko, "Thank you."

Lisko "Me too, good night."

The two kissed sweetly and reluctantly, and Lisko watched her walk into the room.

When he got home, Mag was running in the living room. Lisko remembered that since he bought him back, he hadn’t taken good care of him. Jasmine often remembered to come and prepare meals for him.

"I'm sorry Mag, I'll be with you every day these days, okay?" Lisko combed its fur along its back.

He intends to take it out for a walk, since he bought it and has been nestling at home, he must be very depressed.

Bring it the rope you bought, and Lisko took it on the path in the ranch.

Mag went out like a wild horse, and immediately became lively, smelling the grass on the roadside to the left, and ran to the right to try to bite the wild flowers in the grass.

Lisko held it with one hand to control its speed, and put one hand in his pocket to look up at the starry sky.

"The air is really clean, and the stars are bright. Right? Meg."

Lisko chatted with Mag and walked forward.

People always have endless emotions in a quiet environment, and Lisko feels that his life is still in line with his goals.

People and things here happen in a leisurely manner. People often look at the green and vast pastures, and people's minds become more open.

In his previous life, Lisko worked and rented a house at two points and one line every day, and was often devastated by the pressure of life.

He often wonders if opening a psychological clinic in the city has always been profitable.

The people in the city look glamorous on the surface, which one does not have a heavy heart?

So he often prays that he can live a comfortable life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely."

Humming a Chinese song, Lisko leisurely enjoyed the tranquility of the night.

"Hey, Lee." The rooster was still patrolling the pasture.

Since the pasture was handed over to the rooster, Lisko was really relieved, and the rooster did not live up to his expectations, and the management has been in an orderly manner.

Now Bo also seldom disciplines the rooster, maybe he has also realized that the rooster is not so flawed in his eyes, and now he puts all his energy on training his second son Colt who was released early, which made Ke Walter is often miserable, and whenever he meets Lisko, he vomits bitterness.

Colt has some shortcomings in Lisko's heart, and he is happy to see a crooked branch being pruned for Beau's training.

The rooster is still holding the eternal jug in his hand, taking a sip from time to time for his own amusement.

"Rooster, drink less, you will get high blood pressure." Lisko reminded him that Eastern thinking always made him feel that people who drink alcohol all day long will not be in good health.

Rooster waved his hand nonchalantly. In his opinion, everyone lives like this.

"Colt said you got a hot girl girlfriend recently, is that true?"

Lisko was a little embarrassed, "I haven't reached that point yet, we are still friends, and we are very happy to get along."

Rooster was a little envious, he had been single for a long time, and everyone in the town was familiar with him, so there was nothing suitable for him.

"Why are you still at the ranch so late? Is there anything urgent recently?" Lisko was a little puzzled, he hadn't heard how busy he was recently.

The rooster explained seriously, "The lavender will be picked recently, and now is the right time. The rating has come down yesterday. This time we are grade B, which is a good grade."

Here in the United States, all agricultural and animal husbandry products must first be submitted to the review department for rating to determine that they are harmless to the human body, and then graded. Grade A is the highest. When this type of product flows into the market, it will be classified as a high-end food product. The company was snapped up.

"Let's pick it. It's been a long time, and I finally got paid. Have you contacted the cosmetics company?" Lisko was still very keen on collecting money.

"There are old customers who came to contact me early, and the bid is not bad. This time the rating is so high, I will contact them to increase the price." Rooster is also a little happy about this kind of income. After all, when Lisko set his salary in the first place, the allocation Give him 2% of the annual income of the ranch, and when the lavender benefits come down this time, he can also buy a car he likes. He has been working for his ranch before, and Bo’s salary is not very high, and he has nothing in hand. Money, now he has been driving a second-hand pickup that Bo didn't want.

Lisko is also very satisfied with the grading this time. This batch of lavender was planted by the former rancher, and the ranch was not taken care of after buying it. Unexpectedly, the income is not bad.

Lavender is generally extracted by the 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, and the remaining straw will be smashed , made into various additives, such as laundry detergent, hand sanitizer.

After making such a calculation, Lisko felt that planting lavender is still very profitable. The climate in Colorado is very suitable for planting lavender, and lavender is not only good-looking, fragrant, but also has such a high income in the pasture.

"Remember to save some of this batch of lavender essential oil for me, and then continue planting after the harvest is over. The purple lavender is still very beautiful for people to pass by and see. There must be hot girls who come to visit, so you will have a chance." Li Sike hit Touched the cock's shoulder, teasing.

The rooster is still very calm about this kind of joke. In American thinking, there is nothing to be shy about emotional matters. They can mess around wildly before marriage. Treat the family and be loyal to marriage.

Lisko exchanged pleasantries here for a while, then found Mag, who was exhausted from running and panting on the grass, hugged the chubby one in his arms, and went back to rest.

The next day, Lisko picked up newspapers in the ranch mailbox early as usual, and found a kraft paper package. Lisko took it out and looked at the sender, and he knew that the new book had been printed.

Lisko returned to the house, unpacked the package, and picked up his mobile phone to make a call.

"Good morning Rube, how are you doing?"

"Not bad, your new book is of great quality, I can drink coffee at the publishing house proudly." Lu Bo's cheerful voice came from the phone.

"Li, it's a good thing that you are amazing. The books of the few authors I have signed recently are not selling well. I visit the publishing house every day in a low voice and do my best to promote it. I have received a lot of stares. When your new book comes out, those editors They invite me to drink coffee all day long, ask me about treatment, want to poach you, and talk about other things, and they all agree." Lu Bo feels that now the end of all hardships has come, and Lisko's third book has completely established his reputation in the literary circle. status.

Lu Bo told himself unabashedly that he used his brand name to benefit other writers, but Lisko didn’t care. Lu Bo was a very conscientious editor in general. I remember the first book they collaborated on at the beginning. Although it was recommended by Lisko's mentor, the publishers were not optimistic about it, and there were only 10,000 copies in the initial printing.

Lu Bo was not reconciled. He took the manuscript and blocked the editor-in-chief of Random House in the parking lot every day. After a long time, the editor-in-chief finally increased the initial printing to 100,000 copies.

"Random House's conditions this time are also good. I rejected those small publishing houses and cooperated with Langdon. After all, their cross-border publicity channels are not available to others." Lu Bo calmly analyzed the pros and cons.

"You can do it as you see it. You did a great job. I received the sample booklet and I am very satisfied. When will it be listed?"

Li Ke looked at the cover that had been ordered before. The sample book was full of the smell of books, and the huge title on the cover, "Nobel Prize Nominee", "Leading Figures of Post-80s Literary", "Young Writers", "Yale University Recommended Reading", "Li Si A new work".
