Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 345: invite
Chapter 345 Invitation
Jian Heng chatted with Zheng Huaidong for about half an hour, then hung up the phone, turned off the computer and walked out of the study.
When I went to the living room, I found that Damai and Maimai were now with Ningning, holding a picture-reading book in their hands, the English version, the two big ones, one small and three heads put together, pointing to the two pictures to learn Chinese, one is practicing English.
Turned around and entered the kitchen, and found that mother and father were busy in the kitchen, so while rolling up their sleeves, they opened their mouths and asked, "Is there anything you want me to wash?"
"No, oh, yes, that..." Sun Xiuying took the spatula in her hand for a moment, and then muttered: "Is it barley or wheat?"
Jian Heng's ears are so sharp. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't think about distinguishing the two of them. Just say what they are talking about?"
"Let you go to the lake outside to get a fish. I'll have all the fish for lunch today. How can I have no fish for my first lunch?" Sun Xiuying said.
Jian Heng immediately understood.
When Jian Zhenhua heard about catching fish, he became interested and wiped the water on his clothes: "Do you want me to help?"
Sun Xiuying immediately glared at Jian Zhenhua: "You've finished all your work? You don't seem to be calm at such an age. Hurry up and do your work. Everyone is waiting for lunch."
Jian Zhenhua just got his wife's permission to contract the rotten land, and now is his time to perform, so when he heard Sun Xiuying say this, he laughed twice, and continued to busy with the work in embarrassment.
Jian Heng glanced at Dad, shrugged his shoulders to mean that I won't take you there, but that now is the time for you to behave well.
Winking at the master, Jian Heng turned around and left the kitchen, put on his coat, went to the utility room, carried the ice drill on his shoulders, and walked towards the lake.
"Boss, Brother!"
As soon as he arrived at the lake, Jian Heng heard Zhang Jialiang's voice. He turned his head and saw that this kid was galloping towards him on a horse, holding an envelope-shaped thing in his hand.
"What?" Seeing that the kid came in front of him and restrained him, Jian Heng put down the ice drill from his shoulder and leaned on it under his arm and asked.
Zhang Jialiang said: "What kind of invitation letter from the animal husbandry company, let you visit their place this Friday!"
"What is this thing for me? It's not like watching a movie for free." Jian Heng said so, but he still reached out and took the envelope.
Zhang Jialiang continued: "I was going to throw it away, but Toby asked me to bring this thing over for you to have a look."
Jian Heng had already opened the envelope and shook out the letter inside. After reading it for a while, Jian Heng understood why Toby asked Zhang Jialiang to show it to him.
The letter is indeed an invitation letter, not only is it not free, but it also seems to be thinking about the money in Jian Heng's pocket. The invitation letter was sent by a technology company, and the company's letter stated that the pasture grass newly cultivated by the company not only has a great improvement in nutritional content compared with the current alfalfa grass, but also has the same cold resistance. It is much better than the original alfalfa.
Tut! After reading the letter, Jian Heng felt that if it was true, then the pasture grass of this company must be good news for the pastures in the alpine zone, but Jian Heng does not plan to make a living from pastures, so this new technology can be used for a long time. Not too concerned.
Of course, if it is free, then Jian Heng will definitely support it with both hands and feet, but with the **** nature of Americans, this kind of ranch cannot be free, and people have sent invitation letters, which shows that these people are ready Make a nice rip off on a nearby rancher.
If this matter is put in the country, probably not many people will listen to it. At that time, if someone has planted it on the ground, they will plant it if they ask for some seeds. This kind of thinking is unacceptable in the United States. The things cultivated by others are all patented. If you want to use them secretly without paying the patent fee, the price you pay in the end is definitely worth the gain. The United States violated the patent. It’s not a small thing What can be solved by a small penalty of three cups of wine, several times, or even dozens of times of compensation is possible, and it may also be accompanied by imprisonment.
Thinking of this, Jian Heng put the letter in his pocket, and then said to Zhang Jialiang: "Go and do your work, I know about it."
"Are you going or not?" Zhang Jialiang asked.
Jian Heng heard him ask this question, so he said: "What should I say if I go, or what if I don't go?"
"If you don't want to go, give me this invitation letter, and I'll have a meal then. I heard that this kind of company's receptions are very good," Zhang Jialiang said.
"Let's play!" Jian Heng was a little amused by this kid, he would go if he didn't go by himself, and he hoped to take advantage of these companies.
"Then I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Jialiang reluctantly glanced at Jian Heng's pocket, and then got on the horse's back.
Turning around and picking up the ice drill, Jian Heng got on the ice and began to drill holes in the ice. He didn’t eat any fish in the restaurant these days when he went back, so it turned out that the ice on the ice had been sealed, not only the ice. I got up, because there was some ice accumulation due to constant beating around, so a small ice hill was frozen around the original ice cave, and it was a bit inappropriate to drill in this place, so Jian Heng chose to use The hole was drilled a little five or six meters away from the original place.
As the ice drill motor sounded, the ice debris on the ice surface gradually increased. Half an hour later, an ice hole the size of a washbasin appeared in front of Jian Heng.
Putting on plastic gloves, Jian Heng scooped up the ice in the hole, then modified the ice mouth a little, and then stood aside and jumped into the fish.
When the first fish came up, Jian Heng remembered that he had bought a lot of special small fish from his hometown in the space, so he got out a few boxes of small fish and shrimps, and then they all came out of the ice cave no matter whether they were dead or alive. Poured in.
Snapped!
As soon as Jian Heng finished his work, he saw a big-headed silver carp that weighed four to five catties jumping onto the ice, watched it slap the ice a few times, and Jian Heng stretched out his foot to kick it again Back to the lake.
"You have so many thorns, how can you make it so lively!" Jian Heng doesn't like eating this kind of big-headed silver carp very much, because there are too many thorns, and there is nothing to eat this kind of fish, so he uses their big heads to stew tofu and fish Soup is a must.
The first one that came up was a big-headed silver carp, and the second one that came down was... Finally, six big-headed silver carp came up in a row, which made Jian Heng very depressed. Just as he was about to call the silver carp, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Wash, what's the matter?" Jian Heng saw the caller's name, pressed the answer and put the phone to his ear.
"Have you received the invitation letter from Sam's Company?" Old Walsh asked immediately when he heard Jian Heng's voice.
"I got it, what's the matter?" Jian Heng asked.
Wash asked: "Have you seen the parameters they gave? If this is the case, we can have almost 40 more days of grazing every day. Do you know what this means?"
"Of course I know, the cost has been reduced, do you want to see it?" Jian Heng said casually.
Wash asked back: "You don't want to?"
"I think my current pasture is enough!" If there is no space, Jian Heng will naturally go to have a look. If the price of the patent fee is right, Jian Heng will definitely be one of the first batch of trial planting pastures One, it is a pity that space is at hand, cattle and sheep can eat enough nutritious forage every day, so why give others money for nothing.
Although the cash in Jian Heng's pocket is no different from that blown by a strong wind, owning it and giving it to others are two different things.
"Then why don't you go and see it?" Walsh added after finishing speaking: "There will be a machinery exhibition that day."
Jian Heng is not interested in forage grass, but he is quite interested in agricultural and animal husbandry machinery, so he opened his mouth and said, "Count me in, just go and have a look."
With money in his pocket, Jian Heng began to think about not having to rent a lot of machinery. He bought one himself, and the farms and pastures could be used by then.
So the two of them decided on the date of going on the phone.
Put down the phone, Jian Heng saw a seven or eight catty herring jumping onto the shore, he was overjoyed and said, "I'll eat you at noon today!"
Blissfully carrying the big fish back to the kitchen, he was scolded by Sun Xiuying again, so Jian Heng had to go back to the lake and let the silver carp get a carp weighing more than three catties by himself, which satisfied his old lady.
