Chapter 980 The school sweetheart’s first love who took a check and went abroad (19)
Mrs. Haiqiong faked her death and left Cook Town to start a new life in Northern Europe. Xu Yin also began to plan the farm and ranch she had just bought.
However, now that winter has officially entered, the pastures are withering and the mountains are covered with snow, so there is nothing else that can be done for the time being except making written plans.
She simply continued to work at the Hunter Ranch and learned ranch management from Mr. Hunter. She was a new rancher who wanted to raise two hundred goats and one hundred cows after the spring.
Although a certain small world had raised cattle and sheep on the grassland before, it was run by hired hands, so she invested money.
We are not that wealthy now. After buying the farm and ranch, we don’t have much money left on hand. The red envelope for Mrs. Haiqiong’s safety was cashed in US dollars from the check that the hero’s mother gave her.
It is better to take this opportunity to learn from Mr. Hunter, so as not to be in a hurry after spring.
Fortunately, the patent bonus that Mr. Wolf applied for for her was approved, and she received 50,000 New Zealand dollars, which relieved her financial constraints. She had wanted to risk going to Christchurch to buy a batch of gold bars, but now she can hold on a little longer.
.
When Xu Yin said that in addition to goats, she also wanted to raise Angus beef cattle, the Hunters expressed concern:
"Is the central region suitable for raising cattle? Angus beef cattle have been raised on southern pastures since they were introduced. I heard from colleagues in Queenstown that the breeding method of Angus cattle is much more complicated than raising sheep. If you are not careful, you can easily lose money.
"
Xu Yin was puzzled: "Except for the slightly different size of the pasture, cattle and sheep farming should be about the same. If you can raise cattle and sheep in the south, why can't you raise them in the central part? In terms of climate conditions, the difference is not very big, right?"
The Hunters looked at each other: Hey, that sounds like it! If you can raise sheep, why can't you raise cattle? Angus cattle don't have more legs than goats.
Just because they are bigger in body, don’t they eat only grass?
If the body is large, then the number of animals should be appropriately reduced.
For example, if a small pasture can originally raise 300 sheep, if it is replaced by cattle, it can raise 100 sheep.
Thinking of this, the Hunters couldn't help but feel a little bit impatient. The purchase price of Angus beef cattle is much higher than that of goats, and it is also much more expensive than sheep's wool. If they can breed them, they would like to raise a few, even if they don't sell them for money.
, it’s good to change the taste.
"Then let's raise them together!" Xu Yin invited them, "I will plant some grass at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain. You can put the cows with me and let them run more up the mountain. Maybe the meat will be more tender and firm.
It tastes more fragrant and delicious."
The Hunters heartily agreed: "Raise!"
Before the weather has completely cooled down, Xu Yin plans to ride a motorcycle to Queenstown to find the ranchers there to order Angus beef calves to be raised next year. In case other preparations are in place, but the protagonist is not in place, then
That's funny.
"Mr. Hunter, please help me pay attention to the grass seeds."
In previous years, forage seed sellers would sell seeds in various towns in autumn and winter. This year, they had not been to Cook Town. Xu Yin was worried that when she went out, the seed dealer would come, so she would miss it.
Although she has alfalfa seeds that cattle and sheep love to eat, and they are varieties that have been optimized for several generations, she also plans to plant some other grasses, especially mixed grasses mixed with Chinese herbal medicine and wild flowers and wild vegetables, so that she can have seeds.
Feeling the pleasure of drawing blind boxes, I asked Mr. Hunter to help me purchase them.
She wants to buy a lot of pasture seeds. In addition to the pasture at the foot of the mountain, she also plans to sow them on the lakeside on the mountain, so that the cattle and sheep can run freely in the mountain. The meat will surely be much firmer.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely buy the grass seeds for you if I buy them. But Sean, would it be unsafe for you to go to the south alone? And it's winter, wouldn't it be cold if you rode a motorcycle there?"
"It's not cold. The winter in my hometown is even colder than here."
That's what she said, but she didn't intend to let herself freeze.
She has an automatic thermostat, which simulates a belt tied around her body. Within 0.1 meters around her body is a 26-degree constant temperature circle that feels most comfortable.
As for safety, she put on a protective suit under her winter coat that said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move; if the enemy attacks, I will rebound." It cost her a lot of energy points.
The motorcycle helmet is also a map model that you can buy from the system store - it is not only safe, windproof, and handsome, but it also comes with a map for navigation, so you can enter your destination and you only need to have hands and know how to ride. No wonder it is also called a "fool's helmet."
But she didn’t plan to ride a motorcycle the whole way.
There was a long period of time in the wilderness where she couldn't meet anyone or see a car. She planned to switch to a "little potato" civilian car that had been stored in the system warehouse for a long time - Fiat 126p.
This car was produced in the early 1980s and is still very popular in recent years. It is compact and lightweight, a bit like a cute version of a civilian classic car.
With it, when you go to the south and order beef cattle, if you encounter something you want to buy, you can put it in the car and take it to the system warehouse when no one is around.
Xu Yin was afraid that Willie would follow her if she found out, and it would be less comfortable for her to go alone, so she decided on the plan that night and set off early the next morning.
The roar of the motorcycle rushed out of the town, and Willie reacted belatedly. He ran to Hunter Ranch to take a look: "Where is my master? Has he gone out?"
When he learned that Xu Yin had gone to the south to order beef calves that would be raised after the spring, Willai said: "..."
The master must have thought that his riding speed was not fast enough and he had not yet learned to drift, so he was unwilling to take him with him.
When I got home, there was still a hint of grievance on my face like a resentful woman.
The mayor had no time to comfort his younger son, but he was very surprised by the news he brought back: "You said Sean went to the south to inspect cattle ranches and plans to raise Angus beef cattle in the spring?"
"Yes, she went there by herself on a motorcycle and didn't take me with her."
"Aha! She is probably afraid that you won't be able to endure the hardship."
I have some sympathy for my son, but not much.
More of a wonder why Sean thought of raising Angus beef cattle.
"Isn't she afraid of losing money if she can't take care of her well?"
The mayor rubbed his chin, wondering if his family should follow Sean and raise a few beef cattle?
He always felt that Sean would not fight an unprepared battle.
She said she wanted to participate in a sheep-shearing competition, and came back with a championship; she wanted to bungee jump, and came back with a bounty; she thought the electric wool clippers in the past were inefficient, so after tinkering for a few days, she invented an energy-consuming small
, the launch of highly efficient electric wool; she roasted whole sheep at the gourmet fair, helping Cook Town win the honorary title of "Delicious Town"; the three-year plan and the five-year plan she proposed have a great impact on Cook Town's development
Very development friendly...
Now she plans to raise beef cattle. Even though Angus cattle have never been raised outside the south before, the mayor still has confidence.
From the current point of view, there is nothing that Sean can't do.
Although his family mainly operates orchards, they also have a small pasture. In the early years, it was a sheep pen, and later it was converted into a haystack warehouse. If you want to breed, you can just remove the door panel of the warehouse and it can be restored to a cattle and sheep pen immediately. What's more?
For legal maintenance, one or two ends are still acceptable.
