The G650 parked steadily on the tarmac of Kingman Airport. Ju An carried his small bag and walked to the door of the plane, waiting to get off the plane. Rand on the ground was already driving his car and waiting outside, waiting for Serena.
After opening the cabin door, a wave of heat immediately hit his face, almost causing Ju An to retract his head that he had just stretched out. It was so damn hot. Ju An muttered to himself and bravely left the cabin.
After getting off the plane, he followed Rand in two steps and said hello before running into the big pickup truck. The brand-new Ford Ranch King was better than the one he used at home. Hans Ranch was too big and needed to be towed.
There are too many things, especially in the winter when batches of forage will come from the Creek Ranch in Montana.
It was shipped over, so he bought a few high-horsepower Ford 650s. After sitting in the cab, Ju An saw the shiny chrome f650 numbers next to him, and then thought about the fact that his friend's gray machine was also a 650. Could it be that the old American
Do you have a soft spot for the number 650, just like we like 8?
Before he had time to think about it, Rand got into the driver's seat. This F650 was said to have a four-seat cab. In fact, it was uncomfortable to sit in the back seat. The space was very small. It was actually a car used on ranches. The cab was
The space saved is reserved for the body of the car. Now Ju An is sitting in the passenger seat, and his line of sight is probably at least two meters above the ground, which is much better than his own GMC.
After waiting for Rand to drive for a while, Ju An felt that this car was enjoyable to drive. The rumble of the 6.7L V8 engine was really exciting. After waiting for Rand to drive for more than ten minutes, Ju An felt
He couldn't bear it any longer. He asked Rand to park the car on the side of the road and drive it himself. He happily drove to the side of the ranch building. Ju An decided to order a modified version of the King of Ranch when he came back. This car
So awesome.
From Montana, where the current hottest climate is more than ten degrees Celsius, to Hans Ranch, which is around 30 degrees Celsius, Ju An was certainly not used to it. He entered the dormitory, put down his bag, and immediately turned on the air conditioner, waiting for the temperature in the room to cool down.
Then he stood up from the bed and stretched his head to look outside through the window. From time to time, cowboys would ride horses and walk in the sun. While walking, two or three would chat and laugh from time to time, which made Ju An feel uncomfortable.
I was so embarrassed outside that I was embarrassed to use the air conditioner in the dormitory.
Looking around, he saw that there were tall cowhide riding boots beside the door. There were also two cowboy hats with wide brims hanging on the wall. Next to the hats was a large cowhide kettle. It seemed that Rand had already been prepared.
, everything is prepared for the boss Ju An.
Now, Ju An took down the big cowhide kettle, got some green winter melon space water from the space, filled a full kettle, then touched the white cowboy hat on the wall and stuck it on his head. He put it on.
Long riding boots, turned off the air conditioner and walked into the heat wave.
When I walked out of the house, I immediately felt a fragrance, with a light and very refreshing smell, that penetrated into my lungs, which immediately refreshed my spirit. Looking around, the flowers on the pasture seemed to be blooming more beautifully. Before.
The faint fragrance that can only be smelled if you get close is now much stronger.
When he walked to the stables, he happened to meet Rand preparing his horse. Seeing Ju An walking over, Rand said with a smile: "Boss! I thought you wanted to take a rest. Many people who just came here were not very good at first."
You can get used to it. The summer here is hot at noon, but the temperature is very low at night. Once you get used to it, it will be much better. Our ranch is three to four degrees cooler than downtown Kingman."
Ju An smiled and said: "It's okay! Seeing you all busy, how can I squat alone in an air-conditioned room? By the way, where are the two professors Leonard and Jennifer?".
Rand pointed to the distance with his hand: "Professor Leonard should be on the southwest side of the pasture. They have been working hard to expand the pasture to that direction these days. It's hard to say for Professor Jennifer. There are probably seven or eight cow spots.
, Otherwise, I will take you to see the bees we got first. These guys are really good at producing honey. They have expanded several bee colonies and now the ranch has hired a beekeeper."
"Okay! Let's go see the bees together first." Ju An nodded and said, turning to look towards the stable, ready to choose a horse.
Rand pointed to several compartments and said to Ju'an: "Maybe it's the same brown horse you rode last time."
Following Rand's direction, Ju An saw the brown quarter horse he rode last time at a glance: "Okay, that's him." After saying that, he walked towards the horse, two or three meters away.
, the brown horse held its head high and neighed
After getting up, Ju An quickly walked over and touched the horse's head: "You saw me, you have a really good memory." After saying that, he put the horse on the water and reined it and took it out of the stable to prepare.
He got on the saddle and followed Rand out of the stable side by side.
I trotted on the horse for almost twenty minutes and met two groups of cows along the way. The almost mature cows seemed to be enjoying the sunshine, grazing leisurely, riding the horse in the slight mountain breeze, etc.
After sweating all over my body and being blown by the wind, I felt sticky and uncomfortable.
He pulled up his clothes and asked Rand next to him: "How long will it take to get to the bees?" After speaking, he picked up the water bag hanging on the side of the horse and took a sip.
Rand looked at the sweat on Ju An's head and said with a smile: "It's over there, just a few steps away."
Ju An looked up and saw nothing. He drank a sip of space water and felt much more comfortable. He followed Rand on his horse and continued running. Rand's few steps were really not close. The horse speed increased.
I got up and ran for more than five minutes before I saw a small domestic bomber squatting on the flowers to collect honey.
Getting closer and closer to the beehive, two small bombers landed on the shoulders of both Ju An and Rand. Ju An didn't care, and Rand also looked calm, and asked Rand: "What are we?"
Why not put a protective net on it?"
Rand shook his head: "No, although this kind of bee looks scary, it has a very good temper and is generally not easy to swarm." After speaking, he stretched his finger to the bee on his shoulder and let the bee crawl to his finger.
, and then the finger was too high, and the domestic small bomber flew away.
Hey! Brother, you are not worried about yourself, okay? The Black Mamba is not here to attack you, brother. I am worried about you. Forget it, since you are not afraid, that’s all. Ju An secretly said, and continued to gallop along with Rand.
When he arrived at the place, Ju An discovered that seven or eight beehives were placed under several big trees. A beekeeper was squatting on a lounge chair under a tree and sleeping. Maybe he was sleeping so comfortably that even the horseshoes
The sound did not wake the man up.
Rand smiled at Ju'an and said: "It's really nothing for him to take care of a few boxes of bees."
Seeing that Rand wanted to continue explaining, Ju An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do your own thing and just let him go." If you can do the things at hand well and leave the rest alone, then Ju An will
This is what I learned when I was working for others. If everything is done well, it is better to limit others to what they do and to do whatever they want. There is no need to make going to work feel like going to jail.
After getting off his horse, he opened the cover of a beehive and saw that domestic small bombers were densely crawling inside. However, these bees were big, and the partitions were wider and thicker. Ju An pulled out a partition and found it above
Most of the artificial hexagonal grid has been sealed by bees.
After Ju An finished reading, he put the hive partition back and closed the lid. At this time, the beekeeper woke up, stood up and walked to the side of Ju An and Rand. Rand introduced the beekeeper to the beekeeper.
Said: "This is the boss, Ann, boss! This is our beekeeper Steve."
After shaking hands with the beekeeper, Ju An asked, "The bees are breeding well. Now they have seven or eight nests."
Steve had no intention of being caught by his boss while sleeping. He smiled and explained to Ju An: "The honey production of this hive of bees is twice that of ordinary bees. There are only a few hives now. At this rate, it will be...
There should be fifty or sixty nests next year, and the honey production will be considerable by then. It’s a pity that the honey bees on the other side of the mountain are unwilling to sell it to us.”
"That side of the mountain?" Ju An was stunned for a moment and asked.
Rand nodded and said, "Yes, a beekeeper on the other side of the mountain also got a nest of this kind of bees. Leonard heard about it and wanted to buy it. Someone else, an old beekeeper, discovered the honey production of this bee.
There was a lot of honey, and the honey was of good quality. I didn’t even eat it and sold it to the pasture. Later, word spread. Many people nearby beekeepers put their hives in the mountains to catch bees. Only a few people caught bees. What did the rest of them do?
None”.
Ju An nodded after hearing this. Never underestimate the power of money. The reputation of these bees has spread. It is estimated that it won’t be long before all the bees released by my brothers will be seduced back by these beekeepers with beehives, but this is okay.
, the buddy ranch was no longer conspicuous. He said regretfully: "If we buy all the bees they have, we will have exclusive business!".
Steve smiled and explained: "Their bees are the same as ours, but the flowers are different. The flowers in the pasture produce much better honey than theirs. The quality of their honey is just slightly higher than that of European bees."
That's all. Some people still think of our shepherds
I came to the farm to release bees, but Rand refused directly." Steve said happily, while pinching the height with his thumb and index finger, indicating that the honey produced by others was a little higher than that produced by European bees. Ju An watched
The distance between two fingers can only be enough to hold a coin flat.
"Well done!" Ju An patted Rand on the shoulder: "Not to mention the flowers and plants on the ground, even the gold mines discovered underground are all from pastures. No one else can even think about it."
Rand and Steve laughed and nodded in agreement. Steve then said to Ju An: "When my newly designed beehives are delivered in two days, the conditions of these little cuties will be much improved." Then they started
Gestures the beehive he designed.
After Ju An finished gesticulating, he realized that this was a beehive. It was just a big wardrobe, more than two meters high, with two doors. If it wasn't a wardrobe, it was nothing else!
