302. Little Loon Ranch

It was a new day, and after breakfast, Lisko rode his horse and inspected the pasture as usual.

During this period of time, because of David's report, he also paid more attention to the ranch, and walked around the ranch from time to time, hoping to find a better solution.

"Woo~"

A burst of cheers attracted Lisko's attention. He drove forward and saw the cowboys all gathered together.

It was only when I got closer that I could see clearly, because there was not much going on in the ranch today, so everyone was playing, and what they were playing now was a very traditional rodeo event, throwing an axe.

This is a game that has always been circulated between lumberjacks and cowboys. A group of people gather together, holding their own axes, aiming at the target that is hung by the hemp rope in front, aiming and throwing it, to see whose ax can hit. The red dot in the center.

When firearms were not developed, this ax-throwing attack method was the main means for cowboys to resist wild animal attacks.

In modern times, it has become a sports event with superb means of racing cowboys.

There are many cowboy competitions that use this event as part of the competition.

Seeing such excitement, Lisko also got off his horse and gathered around to watch everyone compete.

Now it's David who's taking aim, he's a master at it.

After aiming, he held his breath, found a good angle, shouted, and threw the hatchet with a cold glow in his hand.

"cool!"

The Cowboys were shouting again, whistling for David's score.

Lisko looked at the target, and sure enough, the ax had already hit the center.

"good!"

Lisko also stretched out his hands and clapped his hands. As soon as he made a sound, the cowboys immediately noticed his figure, and the originally noisy environment instantly became silent.

"gentlemen."

Everyone nodded slightly and greeted Lisko.

"It's like this, sir, there are not so many things to do today, so I will arrange for everyone to compete together."

David was afraid that Lisko would reprimand everyone, after all, it was working hours.

Lisko waved his hand nonchalantly. He is not the kind of boss who doesn't care about his subordinates, and he also handed over the ranch to David to manage.

Seeing that Lisko didn't blame him, the cowboys all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Come on, let me try."

Lisko walked to the front of the target and took a little force to pull out the ax stuck on it.

He aimed with one eye, then silently calculated the direction, and with a strong wrist, the ax came out of his hand.

Lisko watched as the rotating ax reached the front of the target, the handle of the ax hit the target, and then fell vertically to the ground.

Lisko wasn't ashamed, he didn't know how to play this in the first place, he stepped forward to pick it up again, returned to the position again, repeated the action just now, then increased a little force, and threw it again.

"boom!"

This time the ax was lucky enough to hit the target, stick on it for a while, and then fall again.

"Okay, okay, I really can't play this."

Lisko looked helplessly at the failure of the two attempts, and gave up the idea of ​​doing it again.

"Sir, you are already very good at this, you don't know, just now Jimmy almost threw the ax into the sky."

David saw that Lisko had tried twice, but he didn't seem to get any results. He was afraid that he would be ashamed, so he quickly brought out Jimmy's embarrassing incident just now to set it off.

"oh?"

Lisko saw David's purpose, but he didn't dislike his flattery. He turned his head with great interest, and looked at Jimmy who was scratching his head and blushing beside him.

"It's my first time too."

Jimmy retorted in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, which caused the cowboys to laugh.

"It's a good thing I'm fast, otherwise I would have cut off my toe with your axe."

O'Nekin exaggeratedly described the scene just now, his expression was funny and exaggerated, Jimmy had no choice but to apologize.

Lisko looked at everyone laughing together with a smile, and clapped his hands.

"Okay, let's play, David, come here, I have something to do with you."

He beckoned and called David, and the two walked out of the crowd one after the other and came to the nearby lake.

Lisko picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the lake.

One, two, three, four, five.

The stones he threw bounced back and forth on the water surface, causing waves one after another. It was not until the fifth spin that he could not resist the gravity and sank into the lake.

"David."

Lisko turned his head and shouted at the person in front of him.

"Here, sir."

David took a step forward.

"How about the acquisition of the ranch I told you about yesterday?"

"Sir, I'm going to report to you."

Speaking of this matter, David immediately straightened up, with joy in his expression.

"The ranch in front is the ranch of Little Luen's family. Since the old Luen passed away, he has inherited the ranch, but he has no intention of managing it. Now the ranch is almost deserted. I went to take a general look. Weeds are overgrown. If we take over After that, we need to invest some money in refurbishment.”

"Little Lune?"

Lisko narrowed his eyes and recalled the impression in his mind.

"The one with the company in New York?"

"Yes, that's right."

Little Rune has the same name as his father. This is very common in the United States. People usually add size in front of the names of the two people according to their age to distinguish them.

Little Luen Lisko also remembered that he was a few years older than himself. After graduating from high school, he went to a community college and went to work in New York. When Lisko called his father before, he heard that he Opened a company, mainly doing moving business.

After his father passed away, he didn't have the heart to run the ranch after his father passed away, so the ranch was abandoned there.

"Their ranch is bigger than ours, with a full seven hundred acres."

David's tone was full of envy, thinking that his father did not leave any inheritance for him, and little Luen accepted the gift from his father, and actually let the ranch be abandoned, which in the eyes of a cowboy , is really an unforgivable waste.

"I heard that he also tried to operate it for a short time at the beginning, but you also know that in recent years, this industry has not been good, so he listed the ranch with the real estate agent, so he didn't bother to ask, and some people came to ask a few times , but our economy here is not developed, and there is no good way out for the ranch, so we haven't sold it yet."

"This is really a matter of course."

Lisko was also very happy with this result, which saved a lot of effort.

"I have already contacted Luen and made an offer. The profits of our ranch in the past few years are still on the account, so we have the ability to spend this money."
