Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 443: Royalties
Chapter 443 Patent Fees
Riding Heidou and galloping for a while, as if to release the energy that has not been vented throughout the winter, Jian Heng urged Heidou to gallop on his pasture at the fastest speed, and the pasture was not high at this time. , and did not grow to the level of a horse's legs like Xia Qiu, so Heidou ran quite handy.
No matter how long a horse is, it can't stand Jian Heng's prompting. Heidou finally got tired. Not only did he start emitting white gas from his nostrils, but his body also started to sweat.
Seeing that the black beans could no longer run, Jian Heng turned over and got off the horse, took out a clean dry cloth from the space, took off the saddle, fed some space water to the black beans to relieve its fatigue, and then picked up the The dry cloth wiped the sweat from Heidou's whole body, including the back of the saddle.
While waiting to get on the saddle again, Jian Heng deliberately turned the sweat pad upside down so that the wet side would face outside.
After riding the horse again, when passing by the herd of cattle, Jian Heng discovered that there was an extra face in his cowboy team.
Waiting to distinguish carefully, Jian Heng found that the extra one was not someone else, but his brother-in-law. Now Matthew looks much more normal, without the feeling of floating like when he first came here. Now almost his whole body These are the daily dressing styles of cowboys, but they are too new compared to the clothes on Toby, Zhang Jialiang and Huang Xiaodong.
Jian Heng saw Matthew, and Matthew also saw Jian Heng, but this kid still didn't like Jian Heng, the quasi-brother-in-law, so when he looked up and saw that it was Jian Heng, he immediately turned his head away.
Seeing his appearance, Jian Heng didn't take it seriously, and directly exchanged a few words with Toby, and then rode back on the black beans.
When he returned to the house, Jian Heng found that Mai and Damai were sitting on the sofa, with the boa constrictor Shelly lying on their bodies, and the two sisters were watching TV intently.
Jian Heng asked Barley and Wheat about Matthew's matter. Of course, Jian Heng paid attention to his tone and attitude, because now the ranch of Jian's family was not only Jian Heng's, but the two ladies who were sitting there I also have a share.
"How did Matthew behave so well? I actually saw him helping drive the animals." Jian Heng sat on the single sofa and stroked the python's head.
While watching the TV, Damai said: "My dad cut off his credit card, and my mom doesn't want to use her own money to subsidize him, so he has to find a job to support himself."
"It doesn't matter if you have a job, but you have nothing to do all day and just run outside," Jian Heng said.
Jian Heng thought it would be good for this kid to work under Toby, at least he could cure his young master's temper. At first, Jian Heng thought that Americans educate their children in the same way, but now I know that Americans also have children they prefer, such as barley Hemai is well raised, and Matthew, who is favored, is far behind. To put it bluntly, he is a son-in-law, but not to the point of doing evil. Anyway, he can be regarded as lazy and idle.
Wheat asked casually: "How can he be considered to have a job now? Toby is leading him to study. If they are satisfied, Toby agrees to help him tell you so that he can work in the ranch. If not , then go out to work as a bartender or do odd jobs to support yourself.”
Originally, Jian Heng thought that his two daughter-in-laws were just getting started with the junior version of "Fu Di Mo". He didn't think that they were two ruthless characters, and his own brother was working on his ranch and had to try it out.
"What are you trying to do? The cows in the pasture will soon be giving birth, and they will have to pay a lot more. Just let him do it. If you give him a wage, it's over!" Jian Heng is very generous now. up.
Damai said: "It's not about making money. If it's about treating his illness, don't worry about it. My father also meant the same thing. My mother has let go now, and my father has also drawn a line for him, waiting for him to be thirty years old." How much money can be earned by one's own ability at the age of one can be eligible to inherit the property, or else you can honestly live on the fund and wait to die."
"Wow!" Jian Heng was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't understand why the old man Jimmy (Balley and Wheat's father) suddenly thought of torturing his son.
But as Damai said, this is a private matter, not to mention that Jian Heng also thinks that this brother-in-law is not so pleasing to the eye. To toss this kid without raising his hands and feet in favor is to help this kid.
After talking about this matter, Jian Heng and Damai Wheat said that they were going to visit Old Wosh's house, and then they went out and drove to the old Wo's ranch in their broken pickup truck.
Even before entering Old Walsh's pasture, Jian Heng saw that someone's pasture next to him was using a huge tractor to plow the ground. This kind of tractor was twice as big as the one used by Jian Heng's house now. Heng's family has one tire on each side, and they are very good. They have three tires on each side of the same size, and even the front tires have two small tires side by side, which shows the weight of their tractor.
The tractor is awesome, and the guy who digs the ground is even more awesome. Jian Heng's visual inspection is so scary that he can eat 70 to 80 centimeters into the ground. Looking at it, Jian Heng thinks it doesn't look like he's digging the ground, it's completely mining. .
Jian Heng parked here and watched for a while, and the ranch owner standing next to him came over to chat with Jian Heng. The owner of this ranch had a normal relationship with Jian Heng before, but after this winter, because Jian Heng sold He gave up the pasture, so the relationship with Jian Heng suddenly became a whole lot better.
Jian Heng and this ranch have nothing to do with each other, and the O'Brien family's ranch is separated in the middle. Of course, if the O'Brien family's ranch is taken down according to Jian Heng's plan, the two will be regarded as serious Neighbor.
After a few words of haha, Jian Heng said goodbye to him, retreated into the car and continued to the old Walsh's house.
Entering the ranch from the main entrance of the ranch, Jian Heng saw the same big tractor in the old Walsh's ranch.
Old Walsh saw Jian Heng coming, so he rode his horse up from the tractor to meet him.
As soon as they met, the master asked, "When did you come back?"
Jian Heng said: "Yesterday! Have you made up your mind?"
Old Walsh naturally understood what Jian Heng meant, and nodded: "I've made up my mind, this pasture is pretty good, you'd better do it over there, the nutrition is better than that of alfalfa."
"Let's talk, I'm also trying to get pasture for such a cold zone pasture, and now I'm sending people to look for it in China," Jian Heng said nonsense.
Old Walsh didn't take it seriously when he heard it. In his opinion, most of Jian Heng's words were evasions. In the spirit of being a good neighbor, Old Walsh began to talk to Jian Heng about his new pasture. It's a good deal.
Jian Heng naturally knew that the old man had good intentions, and if it was someone else, the old man would not necessarily mention this matter due to his temperament, so he said with a smile: "I have a little cattle, how can I use it to increase the maximum volume of the ranch, feel free to All right".
"Too!"
When he thought of the poor number of cattle raised on Jian Heng's thousands of acres of land, Old Walsh didn't want to persuade him, not to mention that the silly boy in front of him also raised a group of wild cattle and wild deer for free, and the pure grass burned too much brain.
The old Walsh took Jian Heng to look around, and Jian Heng understood why the old Walsh was in a hurry to replant pastures. Don't say that the pastures are really bad, the last piece of grass is a bit green now. Now, the top grass leaves can no longer see the tender yellow color, but a very heavy blue color. At this time, the mature color of the grass is also the most abundant expression of nutrients.
The pasture in Jianheng Ranch is affected by some water in the space. In spring, it breaks the ground and germinates half a month earlier than ordinary pasture, so the leaves are still tender green, which is indeed not as good as the pasture he sees now. , not to mention that it took less than ten days for others to grow it.
"Well, isn't it good?" Old Walsh asked.
Jian Heng nodded: "Not bad!"
Now Jian Heng understands why these ranchers are in such a hurry to change the pasture. It seems that the repeated blizzards last winter hurt them. Not only is it cheaper for Jian Heng, but also for this pasture research and development institution.
Seeing such a scene, Jian Heng decided to go to the space to urge the group to pay more attention to the pasture, so that he could not rest for the pasture all year round.
The most important thing is that Jian Heng was stimulated by these patent fees. The patent royalty of one dollar per acre is not permanent, but a year. If you do nothing for a year, you can get one dollar per acre. U.S. dollars, this research and development is not forage, but a money printing machine, isn't it?
