Chapter 984 The school sweetheart’s first love who took a check and went abroad (23)
After the workers got into the mood, the work on the farm and ranch began in an orderly manner, and it was mid-October, the peak of spring in New Zealand.
This year's sheep shearing competition has begun again.
Unfortunately, there is an additional clause restricting the registration of foreigners. International students like her who have been in the country for less than two years are not eligible to participate this year. Xu Yin will not be able to reap the benefits.
But she didn't care, she was busy.
On the farm, the crops have been sown, and the kiwi fruit and grapes are still seedlings. It takes at least two years for grapes to bear fruit, and kiwi fruit even longer, but for climbing fruits, even if they don't bear fruit, they still need to be set up early.
Xu Yin drew a drawing and appointed a foreman, asking him to lead the workers to build the structure when they had time.
Over at the pasture, Willie often comes to help. There are part-time workers grazing, and he is purely here to study the growth of Angus cattle, fearing that they will not adapt to the water and soil in the central part, and will become thin or sick.
Xu Yin was happy to have someone to share the burden with. Seeing that he had mastered the breeding tips she mentioned, she simply hired him as a ranch manager and paid him a salary.
Because Willie was the youngest child in the family, he was favored since he was a child, so he developed an out-of-touch temperament. Taking advantage of his young age, he ran out all day long and did not do much work at home. The mayor and his wife had nothing to do with their little son.
Unexpectedly, since I learned Chinese Kung Fu from Sean, my temperament has become much calmer and I am more willing to endure hardships. Now I am still working in Sean's ranch to receive wages. The mayor and his wife were surprised.
After being surprised, I couldn’t help but feel happy: My son has enlightened himself! He will be successful from now on!
They would not be unhappy because their son was going to work on someone else's ranch while their family was clearly running a farm. On the contrary, they were very happy.
It’s great to work on the ranch!
Follow Sean and learn how to raise Angus beef cattle. When your family raises cattle next year, you won’t need to ask anyone else for advice.
When the time comes, raise two or three of them first. If they are well raised, then buy some land and raise dozens or hundreds of them like Sean. It would also be good to run a farm and ranch at the same time.
Xu Yin didn't know how happy the mayor was. After she entrusted the ranch to Willie to take care of it, she rode her motorcycle up the mountain.
After more than a month of maintenance, the grassy slopes around Lake Ghana are now lush. The six apple trees next to the small pointed stone house are in their flowering period. The hundreds of miles of pink apple blossoms perfectly embellish the surrounding rich greenery.
.
On her last trip, Xu Yin had chosen an area to plant fruit trees - the eastern slope of Lake Ghana, just over the mountain, which is her farm.
I have already thought about what to plant: apples, red pears, cherries, blueberries.
The fruit seedlings were bought by the mayor's family. His farm will expand the planting of blueberries, cherries and red pears this year. Xu Yin bought them with him.
I came here today to dig a hole and bury it with basal fertilizer so that the saplings can be planted in time when they arrive.
After digging dozens of holes, Xu Yin went to the lake to wash her hands and rest. She took out her kettle and drank a few sips of wolfberry and red date tea, and ate a soufflé snack.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, the grassy green lake nearby, as well as the whitebait swimming in the lake in big waves and the freshwater shrimp with transparent shells bouncing forward, I thought: the water temperature where the whitebait lives is relatively low.
I wonder if the living environment is suitable for cold water fish?
The cold water fish she stocked in the system warehouse were products of Taoyuan Star.
Its meat was tender and tender, and it was the most delicious freshwater fish she had ever tasted. However, after so many small worlds had been eaten, there wouldn't be much left if she didn't eat sparingly.
If we could survive and breed here, wouldn't we be able to stock up on a wave of cold-water fish?
Action is worse than excitement.
Xu Yin immediately selected a few cold water fish with seeds in their bellies, sent them into the cool lake, and threw a few balls of spiritual mist into the water with her fingertips.
They were seen wagging their tails happily, and soon they sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared into the swaying grass of the lake. Xu Yin paid no attention to them anymore.
After you have rested enough, continue digging the hole and burying the base fertilizer.
When the sun was high in the sky, she came to the stone house, washed her face, took out the dry food she had brought with her, and ate while admiring the scenery outside the house.
The stone house is cool in the summer and warm in the winter with a fireplace, so Xu Yin plans to use it as a holiday cabin and usually lives in the village at the foot of the mountain.
The small farm decorated by Mrs. Haiqiong is quite comfortable.
There are three houses in Zhuangzi, each with five or six rooms. One is used as a dormitory for workers, and the other is used as a warehouse. She lives alone in the main house.
The house is a wooden and stone structure, half a meter above the ground. There are five or six wooden steps in front of the house. The house is paved with wooden floors. It is well waterproofed against moisture and insects. Xu Yin fell in love with it as soon as she came over and took a look at it. She cleaned it up in the spring.
Moved in.
Another advantage of living alone is that you can turn on a small stove for yourself at any time.
No, the dry food when going out can also be made into glutinous rice balls that she likes to eat but the local ingredients are lacking.
After eating, I took a nap and continued my afternoon activities.
She did not intend to rely on others to plan the lakeside project. She took the time to work on it herself.
Firstly, workers’ wages are quite high, and she can save a fortune. Secondly, she plans to use this place as a stocking base to stock fish and shrimps raised in the lake, and fruits from the orchards. When the weather gets warmer, she will open a piece of land next to the stone house.
Plant some strawberries and restock the system warehouse.
If she hires workers, who come in and out every day, and the output is limited, it will not be so convenient for her to stock up.
A few days later, the fruit saplings bought by the mayor arrived. Xu Yin paid the balance, took the fruit saplings she ordered, and went up the mountain to transplant them. She also checked to see if the cold-water fish released into the lake were alive.
She threw a handful of bait, and after a while, the lake surface was filled with scattered waves, and fish came up to grab food.
Xu Yin stared at the lake carefully and saw that the cold water fish were among them, grabbing the food quite quickly. She breathed a sigh of relief and just got used to it.
After that, when she had time, she would come over and throw a wave of fish food into the lake.
If she doesn't come to feed them, these fish won't actually be hungry. There are aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake. No matter how bad they are, they can eat whitebait and shrimps. But in comparison, they seem to prefer the fish food she feeds.
Another month passed while she was busy inspecting farms and pastures, discovering problems and solving them, going to the mountains to tend orchards and raising fish, and it was the summer of New Zealand.
"Sean."
Mrs. Hunter came to see her with a bamboo basket on her arm and a bucket of goat's milk in her hand.
"Old William gave you the goat's milk. In the basket are goat's milk cakes and dried meat that I asked Rita to bake. You live alone and no one will cook for you. Don't starve yourself."
Xu Yin accepted it happily.
She couldn't starve herself, but she had to accept Mrs. Hunter's kindness.
It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten the goat’s milk cake made by the cook, and I really miss it.
"Why did you come here at this time?"
It's quite hot today, with a maximum temperature of twenty-nine degrees. Walking under the sun can make you sweat all over.
Xu Yin quickly invited her to sit in the room, poured a cup of mint herbal tea and handed it to Mrs. Hunter.
"Stop being busy." Mrs. Hunter pulled her to sit down together, "Looking at your energy, you still don't know the bad news, right?"
