Horseback riding is an almost essential activity for visitors to Garrison Ranch.
Liv even had the idea of changing all means of transportation during the trip to horseback riding or horse-drawn carriages, but the conditions are not yet available and it cannot be realized for the time being.
The main tourism projects of Garrison Ranch are divided into hunting, fishing, water sports, ranch life experience and special activities.
Water sports currently include rafting, kayaking, canoeing, diving and water parachuting.
Ranch life experience includes grazing, planting, picking, fishing and bonfire parties.
The dates for special events are uncertain, such as the rodeo competition that will be held in the near future, and the horse racing grand prix planned to be held by the Yayuan Jockey Club.
Like the Billings-Garrison Rodeo, the Yayuan Jockey Club also has its own international standard racecourse.
Such good resources cannot be wasted.
Zhu Shuang is discussing with Kempinson and is preparing to declare to the state that starting from next year, Yayuan Jockey Club will organize one or two racing grand prix every year and gradually expand the scale.
By then, these activities can become unique tourism resources of Garrison Ranch to attract more tourists interested in it.
By the way, Sun Dahai specially hired two masters from Shiweitian to be responsible for freshwater breeding. Strictly speaking, they are only responsible for raising seedlings.
The ranch has three freshwater aquaculture projects, namely American softshell turtle, rainbow trout and glassfish.
The pasture adopts centralized management of fish fry. Once the fish fry are cultivated to a certain level, they will be released into rivers and lakes and allowed to grow naturally.
Since rainbow trout and glassfish are carnivorous fish, and American softshell turtles are omnivores, the ranch will occasionally release small fish and shrimp into the waters to supplement food, depending on the situation.
Most Americans rarely eat freshwater fish. In addition to the fact that their food sources are rich but their cooking methods are single and they cannot cook freshwater fish well, the more important problem is pollution.
This is because before the 1970s, industrial and domestic wastewater in the United States was basically discharged directly into rivers and lakes, causing most water sources to be greatly polluted.
The metal content and other harmful components in rivers and lakes greatly exceed the standards. Freshwater fish are also polluted, which is extremely harmful to human health. For this reason, the American government has also issued a decree banning the consumption of freshwater fish.
Although the American government has greatly improved the pollution situation in inland freshwater waters through environmental governance, some pollution can only slowly recover over time.
Therefore, even though the ban on eating freshwater fish has been lifted in the United States, there are still only a few people who actually eat freshwater fish. What's more, they use knives and forks as tableware, and it is difficult to handle the bones of freshwater fish.
Montana's industry is relatively backward, and the level of water pollution is extremely low. Moreover, the Rocky Mountains run through the entire state of Montana. The rivers and lakes here originate from the Rocky Mountains and do not pass through industrial pollution areas. Therefore, Montana
Water quality in Canada is very good.
And because Montana is an inland state, there are relatively few seafood products in the market, they are not fresh enough, and the prices are slightly higher, so people here are more accepting of freshwater fish.
The three freshwater products selected by Garrison Ranch are all products with market potential in the United States.
Wild rainbow trout and glassfish are the favorite fishing targets of American fishing enthusiasts, and after catching the fish, they will also eat it on the spot.
(Fishing friends will search in advance and choose safe waters where edible freshwater fish can be fished.)
Wild rainbow trout is recognized as the most delicious trout, and glassfish is even known as "freshwater dragon meat". Its taste and texture can be imagined.
These two kinds of freshwater fish are carnivorous fish with fewer spines, delicious taste and moderate size. They are suitable for sashimi or barbecue and are convenient for fishing friends to eat on site.
As for the American soft-shelled turtle, it is a type of soft-shelled turtle, which is even more remarkable. As early as the last century, soft-shelled turtle was a popular dish among the upper class of America. President Lincoln loved to serve distinguished guests with soft-shelled turtle soup.
American turtle soup is different from Chinese food and is much simpler. They usually cut the turtle into pieces and cook it with potatoes, onions, corn and other ingredients. After the ingredients are cooked, take it out of the pot and add salt and pepper according to your personal habits.
black pepper.
American cuisine is so simple. If the Chinese people saw it, they would definitely scream that it is a waste of natural resources.
But think about it. At some high-end barbecue parties in the United States, you can often see them stacking fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish with chicken legs and steaks, grilling them at the same time, and then dipping them in sauce to eat them.
.The taste of this raw or cooked food is really only known by whoever eats it.
Speaking of food, Villa, the manor's chef, brought out two maids with several dining carts. The party won't officially start until eight o'clock in the evening, so now everyone has some afternoon tea to satisfy their stomachs.
The town of Celias is basically surrounded by high-quality pastures, with a small number of farms mixed in. The townspeople mostly make a living from the breeding industry. Everyone basically works from sunrise to sunset. In order to take care of the livestock, they work all year round.
There will be a real vacation.
According to the living habits of most people here, it is more appropriate to start dinner at six or seven o'clock.
But Kempinson did some research and found that it would take a certain amount of time for people from other ranches to take a shower and change clothes after finishing work, and then rush to Garrison Ranch. Therefore, the party could only be postponed by one hour and start again at eight o'clock in the evening.
Sun Dahai discovered that Villa now always maintains the style of combining Chinese and Western styles when making things. One afternoon tea, he made some snacks and a few turkey and vegetable pizzas, which was no problem.
But on another plate in the dining car, if Sun Dahai saw it correctly, there was already cut beef pie. Maybe in his eyes, pizza is similar to pie, except that one filling is on the outside and the other is filling.
Is your son inside?
Sun Dahai caught him and asked, and found out that it was really the case. It was just that the oven was used to make the pizza, while the beef pie was made in a frying pan.
Villa also proudly said that he also learned how to pull noodles, pull noodles, and even make saozi. These Chinese delicacies are very popular with everyone.
The people who taught him how to make these foods were several Shiweitian employees who had come to learn from the advanced experience of American animal husbandry.
Shiweitian has grown rapidly in the past few years and has recruited many employees from agricultural universities and agricultural schools across the country.
Shiweitian arranges for employees to come to Garrison Ranch in batches to study. They must have at least a college degree, and have received intensive English training and driving courses before coming.
Most of the employees who came in the first few batches were engaged in cattle and sheep breeding projects in Shiweitian, with the largest number of employees coming from the northwest region.
Coupled with the employees who were transferred from Shiweitian to Garrison Ranch, after working here for a long time, everyone naturally wants to eat some hometown food.
