Chapter 135 The Beer Shack Opens 【Ask a Monthly Pass】
Li Han sent Chris and Liu Ming away, returned to the small building, tidied up, and rode a four-wheel motorcycle to George's farm. Dinah was cleaning the milk bucket. She was such a hard-working girl. Li Han parked the car and left.
Go over. "Dina, take a rest, these little lambs are quite happy."
Li Han squatted down and touched some of the little lambs that were circling around Dinah. Dinah rinsed the milk bucket and put it upside down on the shelf. She put away the scrubbing tools and said with a smile, "These little guys are more naughty.
He got out of the fence without paying attention."
Dinah pointed to the living area of the farm and said, "Han, most of the tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers grown by Dudu are ready for the market. There are few people on the farm, so there are so many that we can't eat." "That's it, I'll talk to Dudu when I go back.
Come on, the vegetables are selling well these two days. Why don’t you pick some and take them to the small farm, exchange some money, and buy more beef and mutton. There is a lot of venison recently, and the sauced venison tastes good. I have time to make some for you."
These are all grown by Dudu. The circles are like vegetable gardens. The tomatoes are as big as fists and look like red lanterns. They are really not small. Li Han and Dinah said as they walked. "Pick more of these tomatoes and cucumbers and put them in the garden."
When the cows are tending the sheep and they are thirsty, eat one to quench their thirst.”
Dinah smiled and nodded. "Sara loves vegetable salad the most. Breakfast is all vegetable salad now. These vegetables taste very good. Lulu has nothing to eat and eat a tomato. By the way, Lulu has more than ten sheep in her flock."
I'm about to give birth, Han, do you need me to drive there and transport it back?"
"It's up to you, why don't you ask Jem." Li Han squatted down and picked the cucumber, rubbed off the burrs on it, and started to chew on it. "The taste is quite good, with a light sweetness and no astringent bitterness."
Li Han picked another one and handed it to Dinah, who said thank you.
Li Han walked around and found that there were more than ten vegetable circles, and there were several vegetable gardens near the stone building. No wonder Dinah said she couldn't finish all the vegetables. She could pick at least several hundred kilograms a day.
"Dina, what do Huyton and the others say about the white-tailed deer?"
"Han, this matter is settled. The white-tailed deer arrived at Glasserman's pasture. There were more than twenty white-tailed deer mixed in with the sheep, and there were a few scattered in the pasture. Jim said it wouldn't affect the pasture, so don't worry." Dinah picked it.
Some coriander, go back and make soup, purple potatoes, smooth and round, very beautiful. Although Li Han doesn't like eating them very much, Dudu likes them very much.
"We've even raised the white-tailed deer now. When Jim comes back, tell him that it's best to drive all the white-tailed deer to Glasserman Pasture before winter. By the way, the iron fence around the pasture has been inspected recently. Don't go out.
There is a loophole." Li Han put the potato into the bag and said.
The cattle and sheep were in good condition, and the alpine pasture was still harvesting grass. Li Han rode a four-wheeled motorcycle to visit a group of them. The farm work was proceeding in an orderly manner. It happened that Jem came over to discuss things with the alpine ranch and met. "Jie
Mum, have we harvested a few recently?"
"Hughton and Doyles are getting ready. They will start harvesting tomorrow. They can harvest again before winter comes. After two harvests, there will be enough forage and wine for the cattle and sheep to use in winter." Jem took off his cowboy hat and leaned on it.
Next to the four-wheeled motorcycle, he pointed to the large lawnmower in the distance. "I made an agreement with Henry the day before yesterday to help us harvest two pieces together. The lawnmower in the alpine pasture is twice as big as ours and the harvesting speed is fast.
Just prepare some diesel."
"Henry is such a nice guy, thank you for me. Pick more vegetables from the farm and give them to others to try." Li Han said with a smile. Henry was selling so well, so he probably wanted to buy more forage. "Yes, Han,
Henry is a nice guy."
"Doyles and Sarah should get used to it." Li Han got off the four-wheeler, discussed winter pasture management with Jim along the path, and asked casually. "It's not bad, the pasture on the farm is delicious, don't worry about the pasture.
The problem is, the cattle can just rush to a pasture and it will be enough for these big guys to eat for a while, which is much easier than other pastures."
"By the way, Han, there's good news. A dozen of the Angus cows we bought are pregnant. Hughton just found out yesterday."
"That's really good news. Pay more attention. The iron mesh surrounding the fence needs to be inspected before winter comes. It needs to be repaired. Don't let those wild things take advantage of it." Li Hanyuan looked at the roaring lawn mower and frowned.
"How far are the cattle closest to this pasture?"
"Recently, the cattle are around Lake Dickla. It's half an hour away from here, so you don't have to worry about making noise." Jem said, Jem arranged the farm affairs well. Li Han felt very lucky to have an experienced old cowboy.
, there are many things left.
"Years ago, could the farm produce a group of cattle and sheep?" Li Han asked. The herd of cattle was quite good, and the sheep had many happy events recently. "Han, it would be okay to sell it, but the number of cattle may not be large." "That's still true.
Forget it, without these leading cows, the herd will be in chaos."
"Part of the sheep flock can be sold." Jem thought about it and Li Han nodded. "Let's see this in advance. Don't be too hasty. The cattle pens and sheds have been built. The cattle will be replaced recently." "We are preparing, and there will be more."
Two days," Jem said.
"That's good. The cowshed has been built. Don't worry about winter coming. Okay, Jem, you can get busy. I'll go shopping and then go back." The weather is getting cold. It will only take a few days, and winter is coming.
, the winter in Montana is not peaceful, there are snowstorms from time to time, the construction of the modern cattle shed has been completed, and the cattle and sheep have more protection.
After riding a four-wheeled motorcycle along the irrigation canal, we came to Dikla Lake and had a conversation with Hutton, Doyles, and Sarah, and then came to Glasserman Pasture to deliver some daily necessities and wages to Lulu.
"Lulu, the room is very clean. Tell me if you need anything. I'll go to town and buy it for you. It won't be easy for you to get down the mountain." Li Han looked at Lulu's mobile house. It was quite neat, even better than little girl Dinah.
It's clean.
"Han, there is nothing you need. Dinah will bring some vegetables and meat in two days. There is also beer, cola, milk, and cereal. Han, try the bread I baked this morning. It tastes really good. Han
, Dinah said you grew the wheat and ground the flour." Lulu took out the bread and handed Li Han a can of Coke.
Li Han opened the Coke and said with a smile. "I didn't plant much wheat before. If there is more, I will give you some more tomorrow. The bread tastes very good. Oh, by the way, I will give you a barrel of the beer I just brewed." Li Han came from the fourth place.
A keg of beer was loaded onto the motorcycle.
"Han, this is the award-winning beer." Lulu was very excited. When she saw Li Han nodded, she hurriedly found two cups and poured two cups. "Han, thank you." "I am the one thanking you.
Come have a drink."
"It tastes really good." Li Han and Lulu drank two glasses of beer. They went to take a look at the sheep herd. In addition to the small white-tailed deer, there were also a few big ones. "Lulu, this is not a white-tailed deer. It's so big.
Size."
"Han, these are adult white-tailed deer. These big guys are now the leaders of the herd. They are very smart. They usually lead the sheep around. With them and the shepherd dogs, they are not afraid of wild wolves." Li Han nodded.
He nodded, these big guys looked quite majestic.
"The more the merrier, Lulu. This is the salary, and this hundred dollars is the bonus. Okay, take me and go back. Pay attention to safety at night." Li Han patted Lulu. Lulu was an honest and capable person.
He is a good person who endures hardship and does not cheat or cheat.
After waving his hand, Li Han hurriedly got off the car on his four-wheeled motorcycle and returned to the small building. It was almost noon. His mother was cooking, and Dudu and the baby were sitting on the sofa and dividing money. Dudu
Two, one for the baby. The baby pouted at Lao Gao. "Well, these are the baby sisters, and these are the Dudu sisters." "Uncle, look at how much the Dudu sisters have." The Baobao saw Li Han coming back.
, pulled his uncle, pointed at Dudu and complained.
"But the vegetables are all grown by Dudu." Dudu collected all the money and Li Han said with a smile. "Okay. Baby, look, there are already a lot of vegetables here. These vegetables are grown by Dudu. You help Dudu
Du Du picking vegetables only counts the money for picking vegetables, Dudu also has money for growing vegetables."
"Baby also grows vegetables." Baobao said. "Okay, when baby grows vegetables, let sister Dudu give you more money."
"Child, you can give so much money to two little guys without fear of them spending it arbitrarily." My mother came over with bowls and chopsticks and said angrily. "Mom, this is Dudu's income from growing and selling vegetables. I'm not okay.
Take it, I almost forgot something. Over at George's farm, the vegetable circles, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers grown by Dudu are now available for picking. I estimate that there are at least twice the amount of vegetables in the garden a day, and a few can be sold for five hundred.
Dollar."
"There are so many." The mother placed the bowls and chopsticks and rushed Dudu and the baby to wash their hands and eat. "This is because there is no organic brand, otherwise they would sell more. These vegetables can only be regarded as green vegetables and are cheaper.
"
"In the United States, everything needs to be registered, and a few cucumbers need to be labeled with some kind of trademark." The half day of picking vegetables has not been as long as the time spent on affixing the organic trademark. "People here recognize this." Li Han helped bring the food over and mumbled.
Dudu and Baobao washed their hands and came to help. Two small plates of side dishes were handed to Dudu and Baobao. "Bring them over."
"What's the use of this trademark? I'm not afraid of fake ones." Zhang Xiuying said. There are many fake trademarks in China. "It's rare, at least not here in Mi Xing." Li Han said with a smile, the United States is
In a country where credibility is paramount, fraud is rare, but not non-existent, especially when it comes to food, which can be said to be harsh. Of course, the GMO issue has been debated for years to no avail. The government and most farms insist that GMOs are harmless.
At least large farms will choose genetically modified crops. Li Han doesn't know whether he agrees or disagrees. He had grown the same crops before, with high yields, few pests, and similar prices. Who would be stupid not to plant crops with high yields and few pests?
"I said, no wonder, people don't want it without a trademark." Mom filled the soup for Dudu and the baby. "Drink quickly, the crucian carp in the pond is really fresh, but there is no tofu." "Make some tomorrow.
I've been busy these past two days and haven't had time to soak the beans."
"Dudu helps grandma make it. Dudu is very good at making tofu." Dudu drank up a bowl of fish soup and held up a small bowl to put rice in. "The baby can also put beans." Not to be outdone, the two little guys played with each other.
We were very close when we were together, but we loved to compete with each other in everything, not just over soup, but over meals.
My mother was happy to see the two little guys eating more. Other children were trying to feed them. How could Dudu and the baby save trouble? What good children. After lunch, Li Han was busy cleaning the beer hut in the afternoon.
Du and Baobao also changed into a pair of overalls, big-toe shoes, and workers' hats, and waved brooms to help.
After cleaning up, Li Han moved the garbage to the trash can next to the small building. He will go to the town to take out the garbage tomorrow when he is free. Back at the beer hut, Dudu and Bao Bao were pushing the big mop, their faces flushed. "Baby."
Give it to uncle."
"No, Dudu sister, give it to uncle." The baby is not ready yet. Li Han knows Dudu's strength. Pushing a big mop is nothing, but the baby's strength is normal for a child, but he is so tired that he is sweating.
PS: Thanks to Yan Zibai, Natsu Igneel and Feng Xiang for their generous rewards.
