Chapter 119 Visiting the Ranch 【Subscription】

  The big tractor stopped by the hillside not far from Auram Lake. Along the way, Li Han learned that most of these tourists were university professors, which was a little unexpected. The University of Montana in the United States actually negotiated with the school about building a Confucius Institute, thinking of coming to Montana with great difficulty, and taking a tour of Montana by the way. "These old beauties, who are short of money, have resorted to any means." Li Han said with a smile, building a Confucius Institute, a place like Montana, is more famous than practical.

Li Yi smiled and didn't speak. Li Han didn't talk about it anymore. Few in Montana really knew about Chinese culture. They wanted to come and pair up with the university. The number of Chinese students coming to the University of Montana will definitely increase a lot in the future. But a good business.

   "Han, is the lake in front of you yours?" Liu Mei took some pictures, turned around and asked Li Han with a look of hope, Li Han nodded. "Yes, all the way to the opposite side, the whole thing belongs to the farm."

   "Then let's go over and take a look. It's a beautiful cabin." Liu Mei was just a sophomore today, and she came with the group and was considered a student representative. "Of course, it's cold now, and the motorboats and boats have been put away. Go, this way."

  Li Han led the way, Li Yi greeted everyone to follow, the road was refurbished and paved, with wooden fences on both sides, Bill did a good job, using high-quality wood, polished smooth, very good. "It's so nice here, the lake is so clear, so beautiful, and there are fish."

   Li Han was amused, so surprised that there were fish in the water. "Everyone is tired, take a rest." Li Han clapped his hands, and Li Yi came over and asked. "Han, is there no charge here?" "Charge? No, you misunderstood, this is not a scenic spot, just a farm to irrigate a lake. My dad prefers fishing, so he built a few small pavilions to play with."

  Li Yi was taken aback, and gestured with a thumbs up. "Han, you really know how to live." "This is very common, the place is bigger, it doesn't cost much to build a few pavilions, and the scenery here is very good, you can go boating, fishing in summer, and there are many fruit trees on the hillside. "

  Li Han's voice was not low, and Liu Mei's eyes widened, full of envy. "I really envy you, Han, for having such a farm." "I don't have much envy about it. Don't look at it very well. In fact, it's not easy to run a farm."

Li Han said with emotion, Liu Mei doesn't care about these, the beautiful sea of ​​flowers, fruit trees full of hope, beautiful and clear lake water, small wooden houses and small pavilions, long wooden piers, wooden pile corridors, not a small white sand lake beach, Beautiful water birds wandered leisurely around the lake, and two white-tailed deer passed by in the distance. "Look, look, there are deer, so beautiful, Han, do you still keep deer on your farm?"

   "Yeah, Han, can we take pictures with the deer? We can also pay." The middle-aged woman came over and said with a smile.

"No, this is a white-tailed deer. It is very common. It is a wild white-tailed deer in the grasslands of the state. These guys usually run into the farm. They can't eat much grass and no one cares." Li Han said that there are more and more white-tailed deer on the farm. , Hutton talked about this two days ago, but Li Han didn't pay much attention.

   "So it's like this, it's a pity, it's so beautiful." Everyone felt it was a pity, it was really a elf, a little white tail that jumped and flashed. Li Han shook his head slightly, and he was still worried about how to deal with these white-tailed deer, even if there were more than a dozen or twenty, Li Han was much scarier, and the character of the little dude might be pestering him to raise.

   Liu Mei was very curious and asked. "Han, are there many black bears here? I heard that American black bears will come to residents' homes to steal food. Isn't it easy to get bitten?"

  Li Han said happily. "Hehe, who told you that there are actually very few American brown bears now. Most of them are in protected areas. In summer, they are in the mountains and deep forests. See some, but you don't come across them casually."

   Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. "I'm really scared. My family is very worried about coming to Montana to study this time." "Oh, is it the University of Montana? I have a sister who will come over this year. I have the opportunity to introduce you to me."

   "Really, that's great, I still think that I don't have any friends I know here." Liu Mei was in her twenties and looked like a child. "I think you can become good friends. If everyone is tired, let's go back first."

  It was not early, so I took pictures and walked around. When I was about to go back, Li Yi greeted everyone to get on the bus. Along the way, stop and go, take pictures, return to the small farm, beautiful villas in the woods, level lawns, especially the fenced cattle, horses and sheep leisurely eating green grass, showing a little pastoral atmosphere, chasing the playful little wild boars and Millie, and a big tortoise, it's so idyllic. The small courtyard and the small building give people the first impression. They are very clean, as if in the painting, and they are well maintained.

   Beautiful tulips and wood are climbing the green noon fence, three or five small butterflies, and Liu Mei’s eyes are shining with small stars. "Han, this is your home." "Yes, everyone, come with me, the beer hut is not far across."

  Li Han had no interest in inviting unfamiliar people into his small building, and greeted Li Yi to take everyone to the beer hut. Liu Mei was a little regretful, and looked back at the beautiful small building, as well as leisurely grazing cattle, horses, sheep, alpacas, and deer.

   However, Liu Mei was very happy that the little animals from Li Han's family ran over, a cute little pig, a puppy, and a pony, really small. "Han, this horse is so small, is he sick?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

   "This is a Farabella horse, the smallest kind of horse in the world. Xiao Xiaobai is my daughter's pet. The little guy has gone to school." Li Han said, and the middle-aged woman beside him said in surprise. "Falabella, is it the Falabella horse known as the 'Ferrari among horses?'"

"There is such a saying, but it's too exaggerated. The price of Farabella is not high." Li Han said, the three little guys, Little White, Little Wild Boar, Little Golden Retriever, constitute the three-color pets of Li Han's family, and they recently used Labang. Signs of piety, the little black bear loves to sleep every day, see someone rolling, continue to sleep, and Dudu comes back to force the little black bear to come out to play, lose weight, there is no way, this little guy has become a ball, Li Han will not Lose weight, after a few days, it is estimated that I will not be able to climb.

  Li Yi asked curiously. "How much is such a small horse worth?" "It depends on the pedigree, and the pure-blood Farabella is more expensive." Li Han usually doesn't pay much attention to this, so Liu Mei pulled Li Han's sleeve. "How much is this little guy worth?" "Oh, you said Xiao Xiaobai, it's about 10,000 US dollars." Li Han said, 10,000 US dollars, not a small amount, bought for children to make toys.

   Not to mention Li Yi and Liu Mei, some professors also feel that it is a bit expensive. "It's really expensive, but Han, if you leave it like this, what if it runs away or is stolen?" , but this kind of thing has never happened in Mi Xing Town."

   Liu Mei and Li Yi thought it was incredible. There were no safety measures at Li Han's farm, so Li Han didn't say much about it. "The front is the beer hut that I just built in the past two days." Li Han walked in front to lead the way and introduced. "The whole hut is decorated with beer bottles and cans, built, and some of it is still unfinished, you can see it."

"The hut made of wine bottles and beer cans, really, this is a fence made of beer cans, so interesting, this is a gun made of beer cans and pull tabs, and this cowboy hat is also made of beer cans, really Interesting." Liu Mei looked around and exclaimed in surprise from time to time, like a child, and the professors also found it interesting. "It's like a piece of modern art, it's really nice, Han, can we take pictures?"

   "Of course no problem, the beer hut was originally intended to be open for business." Li Han said, and Li Yi asked about the price. "You may misunderstand, the beer hut is used to sell beer, and there is no charge for all photo tours."

  Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally said with confidence. "I just heard that tourists from China are interested in beer, so they agreed, no other meaning." Li Han was deeply afraid of how much money these people would ask. Li Han really didn't plan to develop tourism, it was too noisy, and usually three or five guests came. It was lively, too many people, too noisy. "I'm sorry, Han, I didn't mean that." Li Yi said embarrassedly.

   "That Han, what kind of income does your family's farm rely on? Don't you say that tourism is very profitable?" Liu Mei was curious, took some photos, and asked Li Han. "Hank Farm now mainly relies on cattle and sheep farming, selling grass, beer, and organic vegetable gardens. My little baby is growing vegetables, and growing vegetables is a star of Kemixing."

   "Daughter? You are married, you look so young." Li Han was speechless after Liu Mei's words. "Not yet. I'm only twenty-three this year, so I don't look young." "Ah, twenty-three? Han, how old is your daughter?"

   "Three and a half years old." After Li Han finished speaking, he found that everyone's eyes were strange, and Li Han was speechless for a while. "Don't talk about this, I invite everyone to taste the Hank Manor I brewed." Li Han said that he came to the beer hut. He had no cups and used disposable paper cups.

Liu Mei was still curious. She was so young and had such a big farm. She looked very rich, but Li Han didn't hide it too much. She introduced her own experience. It is not easy to come to the United States alone and work hard to build an industry with both hands. "Come on, let's try it out, tell me if you can't drink, I'll pretend less."

   It's not that Li Han is stingy. After all, waste is not good, especially Li Han, who has experienced poverty, is very disgusted with waste. "Han, I'd like to have a smaller glass. Han, are you selling this beer? How much is such a barrel?"

   "Of course, it's mainly sold to Chris Manor, and a barrel like this is $450." Li Han moved out a 30-liter small beer barrel, a 100-liter standard barrel, and $1,500. "One hundred and fifty dollars? Is the price that high? American prices are so high."

   Li Yi said with a smile. "Liu Mei, Han are joking with you, beer is very cheap, not so high. A can of ordinary beer is a little more than one dollar, and it looks like two dollars after tax. Han's barrel of beer is at most dozens of cans. How can the price be possible? ."

   Thank you for your love for half a lifetime, and the support of the moon and wood with a big monthly ticket.
