Fang Yi is full of fantasies about his new house. Of course, he considers it very carefully, but what is on paper is what is on paper. It is not that Fang Yi has not considered many details, but he does not know the twists and turns involved.
Son.
It's like planning to buy a few horses, but encountering some problems during operation. For Fang Yi, horses are nothing more than those types. At most, he only knows a few categories such as purebred horses, Dawan horses, and Dawan horses.
I’ve heard such names for horses before when I was playing games. How can someone who can’t tell the difference between a thoroughbred horse and a thoroughbred horse know how to choose a horse?
At this time, Fang Yi's new housekeeper came into play. The new housekeeper was a lady in her early thirties. After chatting for a few words during the first meeting, Fang Yi decisively decided to let this woman come to the house first.
More than a month of internship. Because this housekeeper named Yeda is more satisfactory to Fang Yi than the one he picked out.
Yeda was also neat and tidy. Two days after taking office, he looked around the entire house inside and out. Then he took the note from Fang Yi's hand and started to read the things on it one by one.
"Sir! What kind of horse are you planning to buy? What kind of requirements do you have?" Yeda stood next to Fang Yi's sofa in a smart dark business suit and asked Fang Yi with a clip in his hand.
Fang Yi was half-lying on the white sofa in his house, with one hand on the back of the sofa and the other holding his chin, he thought for a moment and said: "You have a gentle personality, I can ride it, and then I ask you to ride it from time to time."
The ones are grazing on the grass...".
After listening to Fang Yi's request, Yeda said: "Ordinary quarters completely meet your requirements. Thoroughbreds and some famous horses are a bit too delicate. It is a bit difficult to breed them. My suggestion is quarters or
"Ordinary pasture horses". Fang Yi's requirements are very simple: horses that can be ridden and can jump on his large pasture. Horses that are too expensive are definitely not suitable for this.
"Then I'll do as you say, it's just a boast." Fang Yi nodded and said.
Yeda talked to Fang Yi again, then turned around and went to his room with a small notebook to record things to arrange things.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Zou Heming turned the cigar in his hand and waited for Yeda's back to disappear. He looked at Fang Yi and asked with a smile.
Fang Yi nodded and said with praise: "Well! I'm so satisfied. Ms. Yeda is like an encyclopedia of life. As long as I make any request, she can quickly tell me some tips."
Zou Heming reached out and picked up a cup of freshly brewed green tea on the coffee table, took a sip and said with a smile: "Of course, such housekeepers are all-rounders. If not, they wouldn't be worth the annual salary of 280,000 US dollars, and what's more?
Have a month of paid vacation! The money you spend should always be worth the money you spend.”
"You are going back to New York so soon, why don't you stay a little longer?" Fang Yi asked Zou Heming.
Zou Heming said: "I've been here for two weeks. It's time to go back to New York tomorrow to take care of my business. Anyway, most of your work has been completed now, at least the big framework is in place."
"In half a month, you must come to my moving party," Fang Yi said.
Zou Heming nodded: "Of course!".
"There are invitations this time," Fang Yi said jokingly: "In a few days, Ms. Yeda will send an invitation to everyone. Now let's have a party. It's formal!"
Zou Heming smiled and said nothing.
Fang Yi, who was organizing the moving party, just confirmed the time and gave Yeda, the housekeeper, a list of people to invite, and then let the rest go.
Zou Heming left Fang Yi's new home the next day, while Fang Yi was waiting for the custom-made easel and car. Of course, the main thing was to pick horses, cattle and sheep.
In capitalist countries, everyone is working hard to make money. There are some things that you would never have thought of if you have never experienced them. Fang Yicong made his first income in the United States. He chose Wells Fargo as the bank to open his account, and the money went to
Wells Fargo. Waiting for people who decide to settle in Los Angeles, Wells Fargo will run more diligently. From time to time, they will send invitations, either to parties or some other gatherings. I heard that Fang Yi built this Hao house. Wells Fargo is not planning to lend it money.
Fang Yi didn't need this benefactor at all.
Fang Yi's house had just been built, and the group of people asked him if he wanted to buy a car without waiting for Fang Yi to mention it. When Fang Yi gave an affirmative answer, Fuguo directly sent a manager to take the dealer to the car dealer.
They arrived directly at Fang Yi's home. Fang Yi didn't even need to go to the car dealership to look at it. Lin Lin's car catalog was placed in front of Fang Yi, and all Fang Yi had to do was point out his needs on it with his fingers.
Which car.
The different services make Fang Yi feel a little embarrassed not to sell their cars, and the prices of the cars they provide to Fang Yi are really quite suitable. Some Haohua models are even lower than those on the market. They focus on enjoyment.
Fang Yi did not let others go in vain. He placed orders for three beautiful, luxurious and practical models. He directly ordered a Continental, a Caddy Touring and a Ford pickup truck.
If Luo Xiaohu now knew that Teacher Fang had ordered three cars in one go, he would definitely not think about this style or that style.
Fang Yi wasn't too concerned about selling cars, as he had seen it a lot, but he was really interested in buying livestock. Since he had never seen it before, he was naturally curious.
Naturally, Fang Yi personally took care of the horse selection, and accompanying Fang Yi was Jack, the family's newly hired old cowboy who managed the stables and cattle and sheep. Jack was the person who was interviewed and selected by Yeda.
The reason why he was chosen was that he was honest and hard-working. Anyway, Fang Yi didn't quite understand how she knew it, but Fang Yi didn't say much because of the trial.
There are also some small ranches in California. As far as the United States is concerned, California is mostly small ranches and small farms for tourism. It is not like some agricultural continents in the United States that have many endless super ranches. The ranches and farms in California are mainly family-owned.
As a unit, the income does not simply come from the farms and ranches themselves, but more from the tourism industry. Recently, it has attracted more Chinese tourists.
This time, Jack took Fang Yi to a small horse farm, which is far away from Los Angeles. The horse farm is located across the San Antonio Mountains and is close to the desert.
Jack drove the newly delivered Ford pickup truck and chatted with Fang Yi. The main thing was that the old cowboy with a loud voice said, while Fang Yi listened. Jack, who was in his forties, talked about cows and horses.
Lai seemed to be very interested, and seemed to be talking endlessly in Fang Yi's ears.
"Almost there, there are still ten minutes to go!" Jack heard Fang Yi ask when he would arrive, looked at the numbers on the navigation and said casually, and then continued to tell Fang Yi about the ranch: "
Small pastures and small farms are not doing well right now…”.
Fang Yi understood what Jack said. It was nothing more than big fish eating small fish. Large pastures had cost advantages. In the past, family small pastures and small farms could survive happily relying on policies. Now with the United States
The price reduction of some domestic agricultural and sideline products has naturally pushed down the previous
If there is no money to be made in small pastures and small farms where families are united, naturally not many people will be interested in joining the industry. The life of a helper like Jack will not have much security. Farms and ranches in the United States
Although it is cheap, how can you live without making money?
Looking out the window, Fang Yi discovered an interesting thing around him. That is, if there are people's land, it will have a lush scene on one side, while the uninhabited land will have a kind of withered yellow color, and you can see short shrubs everywhere.
The kind of yellow sand in the middle. And if there is
Small farms and pastures can be seen at a glance. The fenced-in area on a piece of land looks like an oasis, and the outside is filled with sandy soil and shrubs. There are two worlds separated by a fence, and these places are almost a perfect circle.
, think about how strange this scene is.
"Why are everyone round?" Fang Yi looked at the open land and asked Jack with interest. What Fang Yi saw now was like a radar scan in a TV movie. It seemed that he was using a comb to
A circle was swept out on the ground, and even the ridges inside were like concentric circles. Large rings were neatly nested within small rings.
"A circle with the same width has the largest area. These people took this into consideration when they bought the land." Jack glanced at the newly plowed small farm next to the path and said to Fang Yi.
After hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. American farmers are also a bit clever. They also know that the area of a circle is the largest per unit length. However, the waste caused by this cleverness is a bit funny. If four
When farms are put together, there is always a star-shaped gap in the middle. Fang Yi couldn't help but make a definition in his mind: Americans have so much farmland, so wasteful!
This kind of scenery aroused great interest in Fang Yi. While looking out the window, he was imagining his own small works in his mind, preparing to move such things to his canvas when he had time.
Before Fang Yi could conceive of his work, Jack drove Fang Yi to the place. Fang Yi also saw a family horse farm in the United States for the first time. As soon as he entered the door of the horse farm, he saw almost everything around him.
The railings, which are about a meter and a half long, are made of welded steel pipes at the entrance. They were replaced with wooden ones not far away. It may be because of the age that some of the wood is black and rotten. From time to time, you can still see new ones added on it.
wooden fence.
This kind of scene may seem a bit dilapidated to some people, but in Fang Yi's eyes, it does show a different kind of charm. Fang Yi, with an artist's excitement, feels that this is the relationship between history and the present in the long river of time.
A conversation in. Of course, if the racecourse owner knew Fang Yi’s thoughts, he would immediately say disdainfully in his heart: If I had money, I would have replaced this fence with a new one. What time of conversation! It’s just that the fence is a bit
My son is rotten and I don’t have any extra money to replace it!
The racecourse owner and his family were very enthusiastic. They led Fang Yi and Jack into the house and sat there for a while. They served fruits, coffee, etc., as well as cookies made by themselves. While eating, they introduced the two of them.
His own family. Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh after hearing this
After a while: Who said white people don’t like to have children? Look at this person, there are only two or three sons and daughters in front of him, and two sons-in-law come to help with the work. After listening to the introduction, there are three more who are studying in college in other places. Like this
I'm afraid I won't be able to see my extended family in China now.
After eating something for a while, the horse farm owner took the two of them to pick a horse. Fang Yi couldn't pick a horse with his skills. He could only know that this thing was called a horse. As for whether it was good or bad, he couldn't tell.
After coming out, I had to go outside alone and watch.
With this sudden movement, Fang Yi really saw an interesting pony! (To be continued...)
