"Hamdan bought two large-scale exploration vehicles." Natalie said with a smile. "In one day, all the termite nests were found."
Natalie looked proud and said, "Alta and I drove the car."
"Exploration car?" Lingna said happily. "With the money earned from the termite nest, can I buy one back?"
When asked, Natalie didn't say anything. Let alone buying one, half a car was enough.
"No, we are going to drive to hunt for treasures. Maybe we can make money back if we dig up treasures." Natalie said.
"Well, sister Natalie, she said that we will go treasure hunting tomorrow." Dudu said.
"Do you have a goal for tomorrow?" Lingna asked.
"We are planning to search for Texas information, and maybe we can find clues." Alta said. "After all, there have been many wars in Texas."
"Are you going to look for war relics?" Lingna said with a smile. "I do know a place for this."
"Where is Aunt Lingna?" Dudu pulled Lingna and asked.
"This place is very close." Lingna said with a smile.
Li Han saw Jennifer next to him, looked at Lingna with a smile, and was slightly startled. "It can't be here at St. Andy's Farm, right?"
"Haha, that's right." Lingna said with a smile. "There was a small battle here."
"That was a battle one hundred and fifty years ago, with about twenty to thirty people participating." Lingna said.
"Lingna, how do you know so clearly?" Natalie looked at Lingna curiously.
Lingna looked at Jennifer. "Jennifer, yesterday I was reading Texas History and saw something about St. Andy's Farm. Tell me about it."
"Mom saw it." There was a beeping sound.
"It's hard to tell how many relics have been discovered in more than a hundred years."
"Go and have a look tomorrow."
"Jennifer, is the specific location mentioned in the book?" Li Han asked.
Jennifer nodded. "In this area near the lake."
"Is it the lake at the bottom of the hillside?" Natalie exclaimed in surprise. "Han, do you still remember the big lake at the bottom of the hillside?"
"certainly."
"Look at the description, it's really there." Waiting, Jennifer found the description about the lake.
Li Han thought about the surrounding environment of the lake. In comparison, it was true that not much had changed in one hundred and fifty years. "Wow, Pandora will go digging for treasures tomorrow."
"Dad, are you going?"
"Dad, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't go."
Li Han is going to participate in the spring auction in a nearby town tomorrow. This is not an antique or jewelry auction, but a cattle and sheep auction. The cattle and sheep auctioned at this time are different from those in autumn. Most of them are calves and lambs. According to Li Han, there are no
Before coming here, St. Andy Farm had no plans to participate in this spring auction.
The pasture on the farm has been reduced, and the cattle and sheep raised need to purchase part of the feed, which will increase the cost. Eric means that he will not participate this year and wait until the pasture is better managed. Li Han did not agree. He generally has an idea of the pasture situation.
No, early the next morning, Li Han drove a pickup truck and set out for the largest livestock market in the small town of Cotula, which is located near the eastern large farm area. "Eric, there are really a lot of people today."
The entire parking lot was filled with hundreds of large pickup trucks. Not far away, the market area was packed with trucks transporting livestock. The auction house was right next to it, with sheds and raised platforms built and surrounded by fences.
Walking into the auction house, it was much livelier inside than outside. Hundreds of people were sitting on the stage. On the central high platform were the auctioneers. On both sides of the auction high platform were the entrance and exit, surrounded by fences. The cattle and sheep came in through the exit. On the central high platform were the auctioneers.
As everyone watched, there was a larger fence on the left side of the auction platform. Inside, several cows were being auctioned.
‘Angus cattle?’
Li Han glanced at it. "Is it a cow?"
Eric nodded. "Last year's drought had a great impact. Many farms sold some cows and calves in order to reduce costs."
"Eric, is there a lot number for St. Andy's Farm?" Li Han asked.
"Ah, Mr. Li, what are your plans?" Eric looked surprised.
"That's right."
Li Han said, "At St. Andy's Farm, the cattle pens and sheep pens are too empty."
"But, the situation of our pasture." Eric wanted to tell Li Han that the current situation of the farm is not suitable for auctioning cattle and sheep, which will increase the cost.
"I know the situation on the farm, just do as I say." Li Han couldn't explain that the pasture would get better, or even better than before.
"Okay." Eric said helplessly.
We came to a registration office next to the auction table. "Saint Andy Farm?" The registrar was slightly startled.
"Yes, sir." Eric said.
"Okay." The registrar registered, collected part of the deposit, and handed the sign to Eric.
"Has the situation at St. Andy's Farm become so bad?" The registrar remembered that last year St. Andy's Farm sold a large number of calves and even a large number of cows.
"That's a big farm, it's really incredible." The registrar said to his companions.
"Those capitalists don't care about this. They only want to make money. As for cattle and sheep, maybe to them, they are just food on the plate." The companion said.
"Sir, it's done." Eric handed the sign to Li Han.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Han smiled and nodded.
At St. Andy's Farm, the number of cattle and sheep has now decreased by one-fifth. The number of cattle is less than 300, and the number of sheep is less than 500.
Eric looked at Li Han who was eager to try, and was a little worried. The new boss should not do stupid things. Eric had always been a little dissatisfied with Li Han. The Chinese seemed not to have the talent to experience the farm.
"Ellie Farm?" Eric was a little surprised when he heard the auctioneer on the stage say that the next batch of cattle came from the farm.
"Ellie Farm, Eric, do you know this farm?" Li Han said, listening, there are thirty cows in this batch.
"Yes, Ally Farm is a small farm," Eric said. "However, Ally Farm Angus cattle are the most famous in Cotulla."
"It's even called Aili cattle. Most of the beef is sent to Western restaurants in San Antonio and has a good reputation." Eric said. "Aili farm rarely sells Aili cattle to outsiders, and it is even rarer to have as many as 30 cows."
"Really?" Li Han became interested.
Eric nodded. "It seems that the rumors are true. There is a big problem with the grassland of Ellie Farm."
"The price of Aili cattle should not be cheap, right?" Li Han said. "I think it is not difficult to buy dry green materials from outside."
"Sir, the reason why the meat quality of the Aili cattle of Aili Farm is so good has something to do with the environment of Aili Farm. Moreover, the Aili cattle are not fed with feed. They use a rare pasture grown in Aili Farm and are irrigated with mountain spring water.
, drought may dry up mountain spring water." Eric said.
"So that's it." Li Han said.
"The auction has begun."
"Thirty-five thousand."
The price is not high, Li Han gestured, "Thirty-eight thousand."
"Hey, he's Asian."
"Is that Eric, from St. Andrew's Farm?"
"Yes, it's really Eric, who is that Asia?"
"I heard that there is an Asian boss coming to St. Andy's Farm."
These thirty cows are not very big, at most about 800 pounds, half a large calf. At $40,000, they are not cheap, and of course they are not expensive.
Li Han estimated that 60,000 U.S. dollars was the top price. Ordinary beef cattle did not have this price. 40,000 U.S. dollars. Li Han was not holding up the sign. He just said hello.
"It seems that this is a smart man." Several old cowboys glanced at Li Han.
This was a good introduction. The gray grass farmer glanced at Li Han.
"Forty-one thousand dollars." Another ranch owner shouted.
"That's Sunflower Ranch. Sunflower Ranch currently has a thousand beef cattle and five hundred sheep." Eric said. "It's less than ten miles away from St. Andy's Farm."
"That's still our neighbor." Li Han said with a smile.
Eric smiled bitterly. "Sir, I have to regret to tell you that this neighbor is not friendly to us."
Li Han looked confused. After Eric explained it, he understood that it was his ex's problem. "Haha."
Then several farms and ranches joined in. The Aili cattle looked really good, and the price quickly rose to 50,000 US dollars. Everyone became particularly cautious about raising prices. Now that the financial crisis has not passed, and with several years of drought, there are many competitors.
I care about the US dollar very much.
"Fifty-three thousand five hundred dollars." Dirk, the owner of Sunflower Ranch, held up a sign.
"Fifty-five thousand dollars." Li Han smiled and held up the sign.
Dirk paused for a moment, then turned around to see Li Han, who was nodding towards him with a smile on his face, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Eric smiled bitterly, this new boss, did you listen to yourself just now?
"Fifty-five thousand dollars."
"Fifty-five thousand five hundred dollars." Dirk said through gritted teeth.
Li Han suddenly joined, making Dirk and Gray Grass Farm Basilton feel a little nervous.
"Saint Andy Farm, are you really planning to take pictures of these cows?" A group of old cowboys were all stunned.
I originally thought that Li Han came over to say hello, but who would have thought that he really planned to take pictures of these cows? Not to mention the cowboys were surprised, Little Alli, the youngest daughter of Farmer Alli, also looked at Li Han with a puzzled look.
Everyone knows about the situation of the San Andi Farm. It is the largest farm in the town of Bandola. Even in the small town of Cotula, the San Andi Farm is ranked among the largest farms. Due to drought, the pastures in San Andi are degraded and the farmer goes bankrupt.
, plus auction sales in the middle.
St. Andy's Farm was once forgotten by people. Some people even said that St. Andy's Farm would no longer have its former glory. Unexpectedly, there was an auction today, and they planned to buy these thirty Aili cattle.
Little Alice had heard stories about St. Andy's Farm a lot, and she was very sorry for the decline of this farm with a long history. At this time, she saw Li Han going to auction, and little Alice asked the people around her in a low voice, "St. Andy's Farm"
Has the situation improved?
"No, the situation at St. Andy's Farm is worse than before."
"A few days ago, termite nests were found in the farm pasture, and the number was shocking."
"Termite nest, that pasture?"
"That's right, it's completely degraded."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Dirk's face became even more ugly. "This bastard is here for me." Dirk thought in his heart.
