Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 343: deal with
Chapter 343 Dealing with
After driving the car out of the ranch, he found a secluded place. Jian Heng put the car into the space, then got a horse out of the space, put on the saddle, got on the horse's back, and then pressed his The memory touched the territory of the Eagle Ranch in North Africa.
Jian Heng, who is familiar with the terrain, naturally can't just go into someone else's pasture in such an open manner, and walk along the road to the direction of the forest. After more than half an hour, Jian Heng arrived on horseback. On the edge of the Eagle Ranch in North Africa, and not far from him, there is a group of sheep happily chewing grass.
Jian Heng went around in a big circle, hid in the forest, and then collected some sheep into the space. The number was not too many, that is, forty or fifty. Presumably under the threat of wolves, the North African Eagle Ranch would not care about this loss.
What's more, Jian Heng gave them some free bad horses in the past. Although they are bad horses, bad horses are also horses. Now it's nothing for Jian Heng to get some sheep from their pasture.
Of course, this is what Jian Heng thinks in his heart. As for whether the North African Eagle Ranch is willing or not, that is not a question that Jian Heng wants to consider.
After looking around for the cows, Jian Heng didn't find even a hair on the cows, and he didn't know where the gang hid the cows, so he had to turn around and turn his mind to another ranch, that is, Edwin Harrison- Marcus Ranch.
But when Jian Heng passed by, he found that there were cows there, and there were hundreds of cows gathered together. It was a pity that more than a dozen cowboys were watching over them, and there were small drones in the sky. Due to chance, Jian Heng had to catch another batch of unattended sheep. This time, luck was a little bit better. There were still a dozen alpacas in the flock, and finally he did not return empty-handed.
Back home, park the car at the door, and move things down.
"Isn't there food at home? Why did you bring so much back?" Sun Xiuying began to train her son as soon as she saw it. In her opinion, there is enough stuff in the greenhouse to survive the whole winter, and there is no need to buy anything else. that's it.
Jian Heng lifted the lid of the basket, took out a peach, and shook it at his mother: "There are also these things in the greenhouse?"
"Hey, there are still peaches!" Sun Xiuying moved to the side of her son, and stretched out her hand to observe in the basket: "There are still a lot of things, what are these?"
Jian Heng saw what his mother was pointing at, and immediately explained: "This is black mold!"
"Why does it look like a mulberry?" Sun Xiuying said.
Seeing that his mother was curious, Jian Heng squeezed one and put it in his mother's mouth: "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, um, it's delicious, but it hasn't been washed, is there any pesticide?" Sun Xiuying remembered this after eating.
Jian Heng said: "Don't worry, if the fruit marked on it is organic, it won't be sprayed!"
"Can you trust the bid!" Sun Xiuying was still a little worried, because the old man has now been led into the ditch by unscrupulous domestic merchants.
"Mom, as long as there is an organic one here, it must be! The cost of breaking the law here is high, so generally speaking, the merchants here will not do this." Jian Heng said, and squeezed one. into his own mouth.
Sun Xiuying put the lid on the basket: "Let's wash it before eating."
After speaking, the two mothers transported the three or four small baskets in the car back home.
After transporting the things into the kitchen, the couple washed some fruits and brought them out to the living room, and put them on the tea table for everyone to eat together.
Jian Heng took a peach and gnawed half of it, only to realize that his father was not in the house, so he swallowed the peach in his mouth, and asked his mother, "Where is my dad?"
"Your father, he is still learning from that Zhao Changshan in the greenhouse, and it seems that he is going to go home to open up his wasteland," Sun Xiuying said.
After a pause, Sun Xiuying moved to Jian Heng's side: "Son, in my opinion, your father is determined to contract that land. What do you think I should do?"
Jian Heng also had a headache when he heard about this. Although the old lady usually looks very aggressive, but once his father gets stubborn, no one can do anything about it. The father and son are very similar in this regard, although Jane Heng is unwilling to admit it.
"Why don't I let my dad do it, our family is not short of this little money!" Jian Heng thought for a while and said: "You see, if you don't let him do it, you won't get sick at that time! "
"It's so annoying to toss around. Who will eat the things grown in that land? Others are afraid of bad luck, so I'm not afraid of it?" Sun Xiuying said.
Jian Heng listened and took a bite of the peach in his hand: "Then just don't grow imported things, just tell him, let him plant trees, fast-growing forests, and sell timber in the future, right? Sell it to plywood manufacturers enterprise".
"Hey! That's a good idea. My son is smart! When your father mentions this to me again, I'll tell him like this." Sun Xiuying thought about what her son said was also a solution. Unlucky, the only way to do it is to plant trees.
Sun Xiuying has always cared about money all her life, but compared with the old man's body, money is naturally nothing. Now she also understands that if the old man is not allowed to contract the land, the old man's stubborn temper will come up and he will say no. You will be able to get angry for good or bad, forget it, let him contract it, but you must not grow food. This is the bottom line!
Just as Sun Xiuying was thinking about this in her heart, Jian Heng had already eaten a peach. Although the peaches in the space were not as big as the grafted ones outside, they were better in taste, with small cores and thin skins, and juicy Rich and sweet, after Jian Heng ate one, he wanted to touch the second one.
However, he stretched his hand halfway, and then stopped in mid-air, because Jian Heng found that the fruit basket that was still in front of him did not know where to go, and when he turned his head, he found that his own fruit basket was now in Ning Ning's hands.
The little girl is sitting on the ground, forming a circle with instant noodles and Pooh. In the middle is the washed fruit basket. The two guys are eating deliciously now.
Next to him is Denver with a very unhappy face. The lion is not very interested in fruit, but it may be very boring. From time to time, he will stick out his tongue and lick the fruit in the basket, and it is limited to licking. It is a little bit to bite Denver. I have no interest.
The other one is Heihu. Gouzi has no interest in fruit. Although some erhats also eat fruit, Heihu is obviously not a erhat. He is not even interested in looking at fruits.
Originally, Jian Heng wanted to tell the girl, but when he saw the fruit covered with Denver's saliva, he immediately lost that thought, stood up, turned around and went back to the kitchen, washed some more and took them to the sofa to continue eating with his mother up.
How fast Ning Ning eats, you must know that the main force of this group is Pooh, a half-grown bear cub!
There is an old saying that a half-sized boy can eat a poor old man, let alone this half-sized bear cub.
Let's put it this way, Ning Ning and Instant Noodles are still spitting out cores, this guy Pooh is not talking about cores, even the leaves on the stems of peaches and apricots are almost in his mouth. Mouth poured.
"How can there be such food!" Seeing the little girl slowly coming to his side, reaching out the little thief's hand to take away the fruit basket in front of him, Jian Heng immediately patted the back of her hand.
"I just ate one!" Ning Ning said coquettishly to her brother.
"One is enough, I have to eat at noon later, don't eat too much at once, this thing is cold" Jian Heng insisted.
"I don't eat it, Pooh likes it, bears are not afraid of cold," Ning Ning said immediately.
Now Ningning thinks that she gets along very well with Pooh and Denver. As good friends, the little girl feels that she must feed Pooh as a friend.
"Crazy you, let him eat fruit to eat?" Jian Heng didn't understand when he heard it: "If he wants to let him eat, a few baskets of fruit at home are enough for him to eat for a day. Let him eat meat later!"
For humans, eating meat to fight hunger is also true for bears. Eating a catty of fruit and a catty of meat must last a long time because of the high calorie content of meat. This is simple common sense.
Besides, although the fruit here in Montana is cheap, it depends on when it is. The price of this frozen fruit is more than twice that of meat. Although the fruit in Jian Heng's hand is free, you can't feed the bear like this what. What's more, half of this basket is black mold. There is only one word to describe this guy in the United States this season, and that is ridiculously expensive.
Feed the black mold to feed a bear, and the money from selling the black mold can buy a car in the United States.
"How expensive is it to feed meat?" Sun Xiuying said immediately after hearing this: "Feed me some broth and rice!"
"Mom, the price of rice and meat here is not much different!" Jian Heng explained helplessly. As a state with more cattle than people, it would be unreasonable for meat not to be cheap.
At this moment, Jian Heng received a message from Zheng Huaidong, which said: My new job has been implemented! The next sentence means that the video will be sent to your mailbox.
Jian Heng was curious about the video here, and was about to stand up and enter the room when he found his father humming a little song and happily entering the room.
As soon as he entered the door, Jian Zhenhua said to the people in the room: "Good guy, Zhao Changshan's level is really high. You can see that the vegetables grown in his greenhouse are not only delicious, but also big. Wait a minute. After I go back, I plan to do the same. Xiaoheng, when you go back, don’t forget to remind me to bring some seeds back!”
"Old man, where are you going to plant?" Sun Xiuying hid the hook in her words.
Jian Zhenhua said: "I am determined to contract that piece of land. We communists don't pay attention to these things"
Sun Xiuying heard this and said: "You don't pay attention, even if our whole family eats it, how much do you think we can eat?"
"We can't eat much, so let's sell it!" Jian Zhenhua said.
Sun Xiuying said: "Who are you selling it to? If you say that your dish was grown in a mass grave, who will buy it? Even if a restaurant buys it, the customer will know that he will not vomit after eating this dish. Can you have a conscience?"
After her son mentioned it, Sun Xiuying finally figured out a way to deal with her old man who couldn't wipe her **** with tiles—hard rub! We must pay attention to a method.
Indeed, when Jian Zhenhua heard this, he immediately frowned. He knew very well that if this vegetable was grown, no one would eat it. Everyone was greedy for cheap, but if they were greedy for cheap, they would eat vegetables from mass graves. ? Any housewife is not short of thoughtfulness! Let's sell it out of conscience, Jian Zhenhua can't do it.
So the old man seemed to have been poured cold water on his head, and the little joy on his face disappeared instantly.
"Even if I don't grow vegetables, I will pay for it!" Jian Zhenhua thought for a while, but he didn't come up with a countermeasure, but he still said that he was sure about it.
At this time, Sun Xiuying smiled slightly, showing a bit of composure, with a look of regret in her heart: "I didn't say that you are not allowed to take care of it. You can take care of the land, but you can't grow vegetables. I think it's disgusting to eat people. Let’s plant trees, fast-growing forests, and then we can make plywood or pulp, but we will earn less money, and we may have to pay a small amount.”
"Oh! You are really my good wife!" Jian Zhenhua immediately beamed with joy when he heard that, and stretched out his arms to hug his wife.
Seeing this scene, Jian Heng suddenly felt a chill on his back, shivered and said: "I can't stand you, I went into the house! Huh!"
