Little Life on An American Ranch

Chapter 442: grass

  Chapter 442 Grass

  Jian Heng, who came back to his senses, suddenly felt a feeling that it had been a hundred years since he looked back. Even he himself didn't know how to have such a feeling. It was a bit inexplicable but seemed very real. All of a sudden, Jian Heng's thinking was a little messy.

   Gently took the rein in his hand, Heidou swung his head and turned around according to the master's command. Just as Jian Heng was about to ride the horse, he suddenly heard two horse neighs.

   Looking back, I found that the sisters Damai and Wheat were standing in front of the house on their own mounts. Both the mountains and the fire lily looked scared, and they refused to get closer to the house.

  When Barley and Wheat urged again, as a last resort, the two horses began to raise their front hooves.

   Fortunately, both barley and wheat riding skills are quite passable. After discovering the abnormality, he dismounted from the mount, turned over and got off the horse.

  Jian Heng urged Black Dou to run towards Barley and Wheat lightly. Even with Jian Heng's reassurance, Hei Dou was still terrified of the blue blood tree python.

   "I don't know what happened to the mountains today, but I'm afraid of the house"

   Seeing Jian Heng approaching, Damai stretched out his hand to comfort the fire lily, and said to Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng pouted at the blue blood tree python under the corridor: "Here, that's the reason, the stupid and bold black beans are a little afraid of it."

   "Wow, what a big python" Damai followed the direction of Jian Heng's finger and saw the big blue python coiled on the porch of the house, and immediately let out an exclamation.

  Wheat also looked at the python, but she was not surprised, but two words came out of her mouth: "Wow! So cool!"

   Turning his eyes to Jian Heng in an instant, Mai Mai asked: "Does it bite?"

   "Bite, but not you, because you are my wife!"

The last sentence you are my wife is in Chinese, and Mai Mai understood it at this time, so Mai Mai went straight to Jian Heng's side and hugged Jian Heng's neck, and ran towards the blue blood tree python after a passionate kiss past.

  Barley asked: "Is there any danger?"

   "It's not dangerous, at least it's not dangerous to us. It recognizes our smell. Don't worry, if there is danger, I can still take it home? The blue blood tree python is famously gentle," Jian Heng said.

  Balley was still a little worried about Wheat, so he signaled Jian Heng to come with him.

   Before the two of them reached the shelf, Mai Mai had already carefully held up the python's head. Facing this time, the blue blood tree python was quite docile, allowing Xiao Wan to support it, spitting out a mouthful of letters from time to time.

  Those who understand snakes and observe carefully will find that the blue blood tree python is not like other snakes. If there are zoologists here, they will definitely understand that this blue blood tree python not only has a strong sense of smell, but also has very sharp eyesight and pretty good hearing.

   "It's so beautiful, is it a boy or a girl?" After Xiaomai lifted the blue blood tree python, she immediately felt its weight. She originally thought that the snake's body was that cold, but she didn't feel that way now.

If Mai Mai's Chinese is better, she can use Wenrun to describe the snake body she is holding in her hand. This kind of coolness is not really cool, but a kind of refreshing coolness, with a refreshing feeling. gentle.

   "Female snake!" Jian Heng said.

   "Do you have a name?" Mai immediately remembered this.

  Hearing Mai Mai's question, Jian Heng suddenly felt that his second wife was a bit named a madman. As a man, it's not easy to argue with your wife about this thing. People don't care about getting married or not. Jian Heng has no face to care about other things.

   Seeing Jian Heng shook his head, Mai Mai said to the blue blood tree python: "Xie Li, hello, little girl!"

   咱! Jian Heng understood as soon as he heard it, and from then on, the name of this blue blood tree python was Xie Li.

  In order not to favor one over another, Jian Heng pointed at Barley to the red-crowned crane eating small fish by the lake and said, "Well, it doesn't have a name either, so you can name it!"

   After finishing speaking, Jian Heng shouted loudly at the red-crowned crane: "That so-and-so, come here!"

  The red-crowned crane was holding a fish in its mouth. Hearing Jian Heng's voice, he turned his head to look at Jian Heng. After confirming that it was the owner calling him, he immediately ran towards Jian Heng, swinging his legs.

  Da Mai saw the red-crowned crane, and suddenly remembered the Chinese name of the crane, so he opened his mouth and said, "Daniel, it's called Daniel!"

   "It's too hasty, it's the same name as my lawyer" Jian Heng joked with a smile.

  Balley replied: "Its Chinese name is Dan, why can't its English name be Daniel!"

   Talking about it, Damai stretched out his hand towards the red-crowned crane, stroking its back feathers: "Hello, Daniel, my name is Damai, which in Chinese means the wheat that you eat...".

  Daniel naturally couldn’t understand what Barley said, but both it and Shelly could feel the strong aura of the master from Barley and Wheat, even a bit indistinguishable from each other. For them, this breath is the best proof, so Daniel is very docile towards the barley, letting the barley caress its back, and at the same time gently rubbing the barley's arm with his long beak.

  At this time, Xie Li was completely hugged by Mai Mai, hanging around her neck, holding her tail with one hand and the head of the python with the other, and then opened her pose.

   "Quickly, bring me a photo of Shelly and I, and I'm going to post it on Twitter." Mai said triumphantly to Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng reluctantly took out the phone from Mai Mai's pocket.

   Just when Jian Heng was about to take a picture, Damai stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Forget it, tweeting is quite boring, maybe this blue python came in through an illegal way, so don't get into trouble then."

  Wheat listened and nodded after thinking for a while. She also knows how many moral **** there are on social media such as Twitter. Maybe someone will jump out and criticize one day, and then cause an uproar.

   No need to take pictures, Da Mai and Mai began to get acquainted with Shelly and Daniel, and Jian Heng was very satisfied with the harmony between humans and animals.

  Just after being satisfied for a while, an unsatisfactory news fell into Jian Heng's ears.

Barley said inadvertently: "By the way, I forgot. Old Walsh came to see you ten days ago and asked if you want to change the grass. He and Catherine are planning to change the current grass and replace it with newly cultivated grass. The big ryegrass is a particularly cold-resistant variety. They saw that in the demonstration ranch, the grass of this variety turned green a month ago, which is a full month and a half earlier than the current grass, and it can grow at around zero. ".

   "How much?" Jian Heng asked casually.

  There is no free lunch in the world, especially for commercial companies in Laomei. New forage means new patent rights.

   "A dollar an acre a year!" said Barley.

  Jian Heng got angry when he heard it: "Why don't they grab it! I'm not a fool if I want to replant it. If there is free pasture, I don't use it, I use paid ones!"

  Balley and Wheat looked at each other and smiled. They both knew who Jian Heng was, and their reaction to him was not surprising at all.

   "They decided?" Jian Heng asked after complaining a few times.

   Without waiting for Damai and Xiaomai to speak, Jian Heng said again: "Forget it, I'll ask myself."

  Barley said: "Old Walsh's pasture is already being subdivided and replanted."

   "This old guy is rich!" Jian Heng muttered.

Wheat said in a very objective analysis: "Our ranch does not rely on raising cattle and sheep for survival. They are different from us. If we can graze for one more day, it will save one day's expenses, which is equivalent to the investment of one acre and one dollar. Rather, they would rather choose to replant, and the nutrition of the new pasture is better than that of alfalfa. It is not just two, almost half of the ranchers have decided to replant, and half are waiting and watching."

  Barley said again: "I have another piece of good news."

   "There is still good news, I thought it was all bad news today." Jian Heng's face improved a lot when he heard the good news.

   "The construction of Wu Yong's farm has been completed, and now he has begun to breed the first batch of three-generation chicks. The first batch is 130,000 chickens," Damai said.

  Hearing 30,000, Jian Heng suddenly forgot about the construction speed, and became a little worried again: "The first batch is 130,000? Is it a little too much?"

Originally, Jian Heng thought that only 40,000 to 50,000 pieces would be enough, but who knew that Wu Yong was also a rough man, and he produced 130,000 pieces at once, and now Jian Heng is lamenting that the technology is now advanced, and at the same time, he is a bit of a substitute for Wu. Yong worried.

   "I think he is quite confident," said Mai.

   "Then let him go." Jian Heng knows how to play business, and he is far behind others: "Who will go for a lap with me, the snow has melted, let's have a race."

  Wheat said: "Whoever wins will sleep in bed tonight, and those who lose will choose their own room to sleep in."

  When Jian Heng heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about it!"

   Then amidst the laughter of barley and wheat, they rode the black beans and ran wildly.
