Ju'an was about to make bullfrogs and eel and shrimp roe, so he made two big pots. In the evening, four people gathered around the two pots. Next to them were braised eel slices and a plate of fresh river shrimp. The four of them drank cold beer.
Then he ate them. Except for everyone's drinking, which was a little casual, the chopsticks seemed to fall into the two pots like raindrops.
Less than halfway through the meal, Leonard walked in. Seeing that Ju An and the others had just eaten, he smiled and said, "Why are you eating so late? I thought you had already eaten."
Wang Fan said to Leonard: "Come sit down and have a drink." After saying that, he stood up from his seat and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer for Leonard. Leonard didn't show any pretense and pulled one.
The chair came over and sat next to Ju An. He ate a piece of bullfrog and said to Ju An, "This meat is really good, quite tender."
"Bullfrogs in the lake," Miles explained to Leonard.
"Oh! This tastes good." Leonard continued to eat, and while eating, he reported to Ju An the expansion of the fern in the pasture. Ju An nodded and listened, and the progress was faster than originally planned.
A little faster, but not much faster. After all, the cowboys on the ranch have focused on grazing cows.
Suddenly, Ju An remembered something and asked Leonard: "How are the bees on the ranch doing? Is it possible to collect more honey this year?" This was something Dinah asked herself to ask.
The woman thought that the honey in her restaurant was not good now, so she knew that Ju'an Ranch had honey, so she wanted to use the honey produced in Ju'an Ranch.
Leonard said to Ju An: "There are now seventeen or eight boxes, and a lot of honey has been produced. Are you going to sell it on the market? The honey looks like a lot now. But the price for selling it to others is too low. Let's
Things from the ranch are more than this price. It would be a bit of a waste if they were taken to the production line."
After hearing this, Ju An nodded and followed the old man's explanation: "It's Dinah and her friends who want to use honey in their restaurant. They think the honey purchased in the market is not delicious, so there are only a dozen boxes."
The quantity is still too small, and it is definitely not enough for Dinah’s restaurants. It seems that at least this year, the honey production is quite limited. Maybe it is just enough for the cowboys on the ranch to eat, or for everyone to send some back during Thanksgiving.
Let's roast the turkey at home. Then it would be nice for every cowboy on the ranch to have a small jar like this.
Leonard nodded: "These dozen boxes are not enough for one restaurant. It will probably be enough by next year. By then, we will be able to distribute nearly forty boxes." He paused and said to Ju An: "It's still
There is one thing, Alexander may want to leave the biological company during this time."
"Why?" When Ju An heard this, the chopsticks in his hand stopped in the pot and asked Leonard: "Are you unhappy working in the biological company, or do you think the treatment is not enough?" Norman and Leonard
Several of the people introduced by De were very good, and they worked conscientiously, which Ju An liked very much. I heard that some people wanted to change jobs, but he was a little reluctant to do so.
Reiner shook his head and said: "It's not about the salary, or that he's not happy at our biological company. It's just that now he has received an invitation from a friend who wants him to join a national project."
"National project?" Ju An was a little strange. What national project is more attractive than my buddy's big beef cattle? If nothing else, the environment of my buddy's research center is first-class and relaxed, and the management is not amateurish.
Management experts are directly controlled by these scholars themselves, and Ju'an is basically a mess.
Leonard paused, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and introduced to Ju An: "Have you heard of the African rock python and the Burmese python?".
Ju An shook his head after hearing this: "What? Alexander wants to go to Africa or Burma to study these pythons?". If you have nothing to do, why would you go to Africa and Burma to toss pythons? Wouldn't it be nice to just sit down and raise cattle in the United States?
.These scientific research people look like they have awls stuck in their butts. It seems that the US government has gone crazy again and actually went to study these things. I secretly cursed in my heart.
After listening to Leonard's words, Miles said: "You mean, Alexander wants to take part in the management of African rock pythons?". Turning his head and looking at Ju An's confused eyes, he explained: "It's not about going to Africa and Myanmar, but
Just in the United States, in the Everglades area of the Florida peninsula, the python disaster there is very serious."
Wang Fan understood, nodded and said to Ju An: "I know this, last time the news was that a rock python came to Miami City, swallowed a dog, was caught, and finally wanted to vomit it and run away.
". Then he stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's probably this thick."
Seeing that Ju An didn't quite understand the African rock python, Leonard said roughly: "This python is quite ferocious. There are cases of active attacks on children in Africa. There are also many cases in the United States where rock pythons are kept at home and attack children.
, there are also examples of deaths of children, and large African rock pythons prey on large prey, causing great damage to the livestock industry. In the past few years, a python fever has gradually emerged in the United States, and the African rock python has
Both pythons and Burmese pythons were introduced as pets at that time. Because they grew very fast, many families later became unwilling to keep them. Some people released these large pythons into the wild at will. The Florida Peninsula
It is particularly suitable for pythons to grow and has few natural enemies. Now both pythons have established their own populations. The government is preparing to control the spread of these two pythons to prevent them from posing a threat to people."
Ju An nodded after hearing this. He was worried about his friend's dog, but he didn't throw it away. The American threw the python without seeing any action from the FBI. Instead, he thought of the reports he had read in China, which showed how messed up the Chinese people were because of their lack of hygiene.
What are you doing? I used to think that this report is right. In fact, when you really come to the United States, you will
I found that Americans are just like this. There are also people who litter, no less than the Chinese. Europeans are civilized? If it were true as advertised in domestic newspapers, Paris would not be dubbed the city of shit. Talking about the Chinese
The quality of this newspaper is low. On the one hand, this kind of newspaper belittles its own people, and on the other hand, it artificially elevates the morals of Europeans and Americans.
It's just that from time to time, people throw something high-end that can move. Some poor Chinese people throw dead things, while Americans throw pythons in an uncivilized way. Does this mean that people are better than us? No wonder there is a saying, a certain person throws something dead.
The braids on some people's heads are cut off, but the braids in their hearts are still there.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Leonard and others: "Isn't it said that python skin is more expensive? Just let people go in and hunt it. Then we can just sell the snake skin and make bags and leather shoes. This problem will be solved by killing two birds with one stone."
". What's not easy to solve? According to the method of peace and prosperity, and the prosperity of the luxury goods industry, in addition to causing great harm to the United States, it also gives the United States a beautiful environment. What a good thing.
Leonard shook his head and said: "Although rock pythons and Burmese pythons are not on the endangered species list, the wild ones are now also threatened, especially the origin of these animals, because of their skin. The federal government is preparing to control pythons."
numbers, and are not prepared to exterminate them now
Tens of millions of dollars have been allocated, but it is still not under control. The key point is that the problem we are facing now is that we are afraid that African rock pythons and Burmese pythons will breed and give birth to a super killer python with the size of a Burmese python and the ferocity of an African rock python.
, the habitats where the two python species live are getting closer and closer.”
What is this called? In Chinese terms, it means wanting to be a bitch and building a memorial arch at the same time. You can’t kill people wantonly and you have to control the number. Where in the world can such a good thing happen? It’s not something you have here in the first place.
You don’t have any natural enemies, but you still want to control them? How can a snake lay dozens of eggs in one nest? It means dozens of little snakes at one time and there are no natural enemies.
How do you control it? After thinking about it, if it’s none of my business, why can I go to Montana? Or can I go to Hans Ranch? If the baby snakes happen to be born, I will feed them directly to my brother. As for the big snakes, I will just give them to him.
Simmer the soup. If this doesn't work, I will just throw the king snake into the space and see if I can raise a super king snake that is about ten meters long. The super king snake will eat his uncle's big python directly.
Ju An was secretly feeling happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. Wang Fan pushed Ju An with his arm and asked, "What are you thinking about? You are so happy?".
"No!" Ju An quickly retracted his thoughts. Then he said to Leonard: "Did Alexander insist on leaving?".
"Alexander is very interested, but the contract signed with us has not expired yet, and he is considering it now." Leonard explained to Ju An: "It is not about income. The project to control rock pythons has more funds and is concentrated in
There are also more scientific researchers.”
Oh, it turns out it’s for fame. You’d have said it earlier. If you’d told me earlier, I wouldn’t have talked so much. He said to Leonard: “If Alexander really wants to go, go ahead and let him not worry about the contract.
"There's no point in keeping people alive. With this salary, there must be a lot of scientists who want to come to my buddy's research institute."
Leonard nodded and said to Ju An: "Norman and I told Alexander the same thing. If he wants to go, the contract will not be a problem, but now he is thinking about it."
"Well! That's good. If Alexander wants to leave, you can nod and agree, and then just inform me of the result." Ju An said with a smile to Leonard, and then continued to search for the pot with his chopsticks.
of meat.
Leonard picked up the chopsticks from the table: "Aren't you leaving tomorrow? If you don't leave, I'll tell you some news. Kingman is going to hold a cow beauty contest tomorrow, and our ranch has also selected a cow to participate."
"Cow beauty contest?" Ju An almost spit out the meat in his mouth after hearing this. Is there a beauty contest for this cow? What kind of cow is called beautiful? Are the judges all bulls?
After hearing this, Wang Fan asked: "Is there anyone else raising cows around here? I thought they were raised at Hans Ranch."
Miles said with a smile: "Why not, but they are all free-range breeding of more than a dozen animals, and the most is more than a hundred. They are all small-scale, and the milk is basically supplied to Kingman."
Ju An looked at Miles and Mike and said, "Then let's go back later to see the cow beauty pageant?" He looked at the three people and nodded, and the group continued to eat and chat. (To be continued.)
