After he walked around the barren land, Li Du realized that the area was quite big, about twenty hectare, almost half that of the farm
He asked, ”How much is the rental?”
”Twenty thousand dollars a year”
Li Du was surprised ”So the rent is less than 2,000 dollars a month It’s less than 100 dollars for a hectare per month? This is just like the Alaska purchase!”
It was an aovernment sold this 580,000-square-mile piece of land to the US for only 7,000,000 dollars
”The state government has just developed this land,” Hans said ”It’s not conducive for a plantation, and they cannot build a factory here If the rental is not low enough, no one will rent this place”
Li Du asked, ”Is there a proble our trash here?”
”Just clear the place when the term of the lease ends,” Hans said, ”and do not pollute the land I assuht?”
”Of course not,” Li Du said
He decided to rent the land right away The rental was cheap and the location was near Hoffet rid of the trash and second-hand goods here
But there was an Ae next to them Li Du had heard of this place when he was a student; it ell known in Flagstaff
Technically, the Amish were not a separate ethnicity They were a deno the 16th century European Refor and they followed a traditional way of living They didn’t use ies in their daily lives, such as cars, electrical appliances, or pesticides
Although Europeans had lived in North America for a few centuries, these people still strictly followed their religion and traditional values; they re An tourists, Li Du was curious about these people But the Amish were not like zoo animals: they didn’t like to be observed or disturbed Li Du had heard they were not easily approachable
They rode on the motorcycle and continued their journey As they left the sot out of his car and waved at them
Hans rode toward him and asked, ”Hi sir, how can we help you?”
He was a Caucasian man in his forties He wore a white short-sleeved shi+rt, black trousers, straw sandals, and a black hat He looked odd
Li Du knew this was how the Amish dressed But this was the first time he had seen one, so he surveyed him curiously
When he first heard about thenize an Amish as they dress very differently It didn’twas black
The Amish men often wore dark suits hite shi+rts, while the Amish women wore dark dresses They would only wear a pure white shawl during festivals or weddings, to bring a little change to the color tone
Li Du stared at this man in front of him; it looked like he was from medieval times Not only because of the way he dressed, but also because of his simple, down-to-earth vibe
