The first thousand two hundred and eighteenth chapter is so settled
When the aroma filled the grill, more people came out of the room, talking and laughing while looking at the surrounding scenery, and looking forward to the first delicious meal after arriving in Canada.
And Gao Dewei did not disappoint everyone. Originally, these meats were all made of excellent materials. They were either raised by themselves or caught in the wild. They were all very fresh. Just brush them with some spices and wait quietly for roasting.
Charred tenderness is enough.
Girls who are worried about getting fat also have other food treats. A variety of fruits and vegetables are basically produced on farms. They are very rich and the colors are beautiful.
Xue Chen is an out-and-out carnivore. Naturally, he would not eat fruits and vegetables instead of grilled meats. He had a full meal without any ceremony. He ate all kinds of grilled mutton, grilled fish and rabbits.
After eating five or six plates, I picked up a red and green crisp big apple to clear my mouth.
Of course, drinks are also indispensable. It is a local Canadian beer and tastes pretty good. Even a few girls tasted a little bit.
During the dinner, Xue Chen also briefly got to know a few workers on the farm. Interestingly, three of the five workers were Chinese, and only two were Canadians!
Those three workers all came to Canada by going abroad to work. They all came from villages and towns. Working on the farm is their old profession. Of course, they can earn much more than they can in China. They earn more every month.
The Canadian dollars withdrawn when converted into RMB are at least 10,000 yuan.
The other two workers are from the town nearest to the farm. One is somewhat proficient in repairing machinery and water and electricity, and the other is also an experienced veteran worker.
He also walked around and looked at the main buildings around him. Among them, there was a three-story wooden building as the main body, where Gao Dewei usually lived. There was also a second-floor building next to it, where several workers lived.
In addition, there are several very large warehouses. The doors of the warehouses are ajar, and you can see some agricultural machinery and equipment inside. There are also three pickup trucks parked in one of the garages.
There was a building a little further away. Far away, Xue Chen heard the braying of cattle and sheep and the roar of horses, mixed with the barking of dogs, and occasionally saw some free-range chickens on the grass.
running in and out.
“It’s really rich enough.”
Xue Chen heard footsteps, turned around and saw Gao Dewei walking over with square steps, and said with a smile.
"Ha, yes, it is quite rich. The farms here are divided into many types, including dairy farms that raise cows, chicken farms that raise chickens, and fish farms that raise fish. As for ours, it is a comprehensive cattle farm. To put it bluntly, it is what
It’s all done a little bit.” Gao Dewei touched his chin.
"You still raise fish?" Xue Chen asked in surprise.
"There is a tributary called the Chambord River that passes through our farm and forms a lake there. However, the lake is an exaggeration. It can only be regarded as a large bathing pool, but there are quite a lot of fish in it. Hehe,
That's where all the food we ate just now came from, and that fishing rod can catch dozens of kilograms in an hour."
However, Gao Dewei also said that it is not easy to raise fish, especially in the river that flows through the farm. One of the main reasons is that there are already enough fish there, and they are all Asian carp, which have taken up most of the fish.
Living space, it is difficult to breed other fish.
"I have seen on the news before that Asian carp are overpopulating in Canada and the United States. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when I got there and saw it, it was really an exaggeration. Even though the lake is not big, it can actually contain 30 fish.
How many pounds of carp is there? Damn it, I’ve never seen such a big carp before. It’s so big.”
Gao Dewei's confused and surprised look also made Xue Chen feel strange. He also knew that Asian carp is the collective name given by Europeans and Americans to carp, silver carp, grass carp, bighead carp and other exotic fish species from Asia. He was also puzzled as to how they could become so widespread.
"That's the truth, but don't forget, where is this place? It's Newfoundland in Canada. Do you know Newfoundland? It's one of the four largest ocean fisheries in the world. They all like to eat bonito, cod, tuna...
How could these sea fish eat river fish that has a lot of spines and an earthy smell? I didn’t realize just now that the two local workers didn’t eat grilled fish. They really didn’t like it.”
"Uh, that's right." After Gao Dewei's reminder, Xue Chen vaguely remembered that it seemed that the high school geography class had indeed taught about the world's four major fisheries, including the Newfoundland fisheries... It is indeed not possible to engage in river fish farming here.
What a great project.
Xue Chen pondered and asked: "Then what do you plan to do with this farm? Do you have a specific development direction?"
"This..." Gao Dewei scratched his head, "It's being planned. Didn't I tell you that you and Yun Xing have to plan for me? Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang."
"Whether we are engaged in farming or not, let's take a look first and then talk about it. Find a time tomorrow to walk around the farm and take a look at the general situation." Since Gao Dewei wants to develop this farm, as a friend, Xue Chen
Naturally, he is willing to lend support and help.
"Xiao Bing, look at the air here is really nice and the scenery is pretty good." Wang Hongmei stood on a high slope with her hands on her waist and squinted her eyes.
Luo Bing's clear eyes were also filled with brilliance. She also liked it here very much, because she had a relatively calm personality. She didn't like the excitement and liked the quietness. Everything in front of her made her very comfortable and refreshing.
The fresh air, the green eyes, and the chirping of birds that could be heard everywhere even gave her the idea of staying here forever. In her opinion, it would be the best if she could live in such a place for the rest of her life.
After the meal, Gao Dewei told everyone that they could stroll around, but they must not go too far, otherwise they would be in danger and might encounter some threatening wild animals.
Most of the people who came here grew up in the city. Even if they have been to some wild places, they are still tourist attractions. At most, they are worried about getting lost, and they really rarely encounter the threat of wild animals.
Wild animals? They don’t exist. If they appear, there is a high chance that they will be caught, stripped, roasted and eaten.
"I'm not kidding. There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains over there. There may not be tigers, lions, or leopards, but there are still wolves and black bears, as well as wild boars and lynxes..."
No one wants to put themselves in danger, not to mention they are all adults. Everyone is here to relax and visit, and it is free. There is no reason to cause trouble to the host, so they are all sensible and do not go far away, just stay nearby.
Turned around.
But even so, many people had a great time. They saw a squirrel in the forest and hurriedly took photos. A rabbit appeared in a flash and shouted loudly. They were all surrounded by nature.
"When I first came here, I was just like them, but now I'm no longer surprised. After all, this is the situation here in Canada, as long as it's not in harsh environmental areas or around cities," Gao Dewei said.
After wandering around the farm for a while, the sky had darkened, so everyone went to bed early.
After all, there were so many people here that one room for one person was not enough, so two people had to live together. Xue Chen and Uncle Shen shared a room.
"Uncle Shen is tired, you should take a rest earlier." After washing briefly, Xue Chen saw that Uncle Shen was already sitting on the edge of the bed and dozing off.
"Well, I'm getting older and I can't be as energetic as you young people. I'll take a rest first." Shen Wanjun said with a smile.
Xue Chen was not yet sleepy, so he left the room and saw Gao Dewei on the first floor, talking to Jing Yunxing.
"Brother Gao, I think this wooden house must be old. Does it need to be renovated? Or maybe it has to be rebuilt." Xue Chen sat over.
This three-story wooden building looks to be quite old, probably more than ten years old. It feels a bit disrepaired. Especially the water pipes in the bathroom are rusty and the water flow is intermittent. Even on the outside, It can also be seen that this wooden building is too old.
In fact, it's not just this building. The surrounding warehouses, the sheds where livestock are kept, and even the farm machinery pickup trucks seem to be old. Although they are still usable, they are definitely not very useful.
"Fortunately, at least there is no leakage. We will talk about it later." Gao Dewei laughed.
Xue Chen was so clear-minded that he easily figured out the meaning and said, it must be because the funds are not sufficient, so he did not have this plan.
Seeing that he saw it, Gao Dewei didn't hide it. It was true that funds did not allow for lavish spending. After completely acquiring the farm, the three hundred million yuan had basically been spent. He still had less than ten million yuan left, so he repaired it. The idea of housing can only be pushed back, at least until the farm develops normally and makes enough profit.
Xue Chen didn't say anything. After a while, Jing Yunxing went upstairs to coax the children. Only he and Gao Dewei were left, and then he said: "Brother Gao, that's good. I'll get some more funds to make this place rich." Some, if it really doesn’t work, will rebuild their houses, and replace all the farm machinery and equipment that need to be replaced. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not miss the woodcutter. While developing the farm, you can’t let your body suffer, right?”
"This is not okay. You and Yun Xing took 230 million, and I only contributed 70 million myself. How can I let you continue to take money? This is absolutely not okay." Gao Dewei became anxious when he heard this.
Seeing Gao Dewei's resolute attitude, Xue Chen chuckled: "You can't say that. First of all, how much will it cost to build a new house and replace some agricultural machinery? Besides, maybe I will come here often in the future and bring some friends. I even brought my parents over to take a look, I think we must have a decent living environment, that’s it.” (To be continued)
