Chapter 1224: Environmental Gaps

Yang Dongxu is also visiting foreign farms for the first time, and he used to think that if he had the money to buy a large piece of land abroad to get a Daxing farm, he would eat everything at home in the future and eat green and safe food.

As a result, after all these years of digging holes, it was not enough to fill in, and there was no time to realize this idea. The two families first visited a beef cattle farm, in a small town not far from the German capital.

It is true that the environment in foreign countries is much better than in China, especially in rural areas. Walking on that street in the city, you may still smell the smell of urine, and even see all kinds of uncleaned garbage, you must know that rats on the streets of London, England are not afraid of people at all. The smell of urine on the streets of New York can be smelled from any distance.

However, the suburban and rural environment is indeed very good, there are no plastic bags flying around, and there are no bottles thrown away after various pesticides in the small ditch.

The water is clear and I don't know if I can drink it directly, but I can see the green aquatic plants and swimming fish. The surrounding greenery is also very good, mainly because the population of Germany is not so dense in the countryside except for the big cities.

For example, in the small town in front of you, there are tens of thousands of acres of farms around, and ninety percent of the land is owned by some large farmers, so there are not many small farmers in the bits and pieces. There are no people in the whole town, except for a few permanent residents who are a market gathering place.

Naturally, no one pulls and plants things for you in every corner of the corner, after all, people want to farm and have large pieces of land. Moreover, the farming of Chinese people is imprinted in their bones, and it is uncomfortable to see that the land is not planted with something. Foreigners obviously don't have this hobby, and they would rather lie on the lawn and sleep for a while if they have this spare time.

The eldest sister and Zhou Ya took their children to play with a group of children in the town on vacation in the park of the town. After all, the weather is still quite hot now, and although it is windy for a few days, the child's skin is tender and easy to sunburn if he is slightly sunburned.

So when I went to visit the farm, Yang Dongxu and Liu Leehom were representatives, and even the aunt Ran Feifei, who contacted the farmer, stayed in the park and did not follow.

The farmer was contacted by Ran Feifei through the food supplier, so the other party was very enthusiastic and personally drove a pickup truck to take the two of them to visit the farm.

Two holes were not seen in the belly, and then the eating beef cattle were observed. The laws of foreigners are sometimes quite speechless, for example, some countries need to freeze the other party to kill lobsters first, and then kill them, saying that it is inhumane to kill them alive.

But two holes can be opened in the calf, saying that it is to observe the eating and digestion of the cow, then the two big holes also say that it does not affect the health of the cow, and no one says that it is inhumane, in short, it is quite speechless.

Basically, the cattle raised in foreign countries are different from those raised in China, because of the development of rural breeding, the breeds of foreign cattle breeding industry are basically a few fixed breeds of beef cattle.

Unlike China, there are domestic cattle, pasture-raised cattle, and even buffaloes from the south and yaks from Tibet. In short, every place has a variety of each place, and no one seriously studies a variety of breeding, and uses it to create a good brand.

Therefore, when purchasing beef in foreign countries, as long as you ask what kind of beef the farm is, and then what is the quality of different parts, it is basically the same.

Of course, there are also some well-known specialty beef, such as Japanese snowflake beef. In fact, although Yang Dongxu is really delicious, it is not gluttonous.

When you eat potato brisket, or steak, braised beef, or whatever. He really can't eat it, whether it's yellow beef, or Monte beef, or top snowflake beef or something. Mutton can be divided according to the taste and strength of the meat, chickens and ducks can taste it, and beef really can't feel it.

Unless it is a certain kind of beef cattle that grew up eating feed throughout the whole process, the difference in taste is as big as the difference between the taste of domestic free-range chickens and farm-fed instant chickens, and the rest is really unclear.

"Originally, I wanted to get a free-range cattle farm, but unless I went to Tibet and Inner Mongolia to charter a playground, I could only breed in captivity, and there was no way to raise free-range cattle at all. After walking around the cattle farm, Liu Leehom said helplessly.

It is obviously impossible to go to the Tibetan Plateau to be a nomad, but it is not very difficult to get tens of thousands of acres of land to grow pasture and run a cattle farm for you in other identities.

Basically, if you can contract 10,000 mu of land in rural areas, it will involve a large number of peasant households, let alone tens of thousands of mu of land. China's urbanization is not good, and the land is scattered in the hands of farmers, and each rural person has his own land, which is very scattered.

If you want to gather, even when Yang Dongxu is reborn, only the government will take the lead and then contract collectively. But that's basically a contract of thousands of acres, not many tens of thousands of acres, let alone tens of thousands of acres.

And even if you have tens of thousands of acres of land to contract for you, the contract price per mu of land is enough for you to buy a farm abroad. This is not an exaggeration at all.

For example, in a few years, the price of rural contracted land began to rise, 500 is the usual price, and in about 18 years, it is generally 800 yuan per mu, and even 1,000 yuan per mu is a lot.

Even if it is calculated according to 800 mu, the price of 10,000 mu of contracted land is 8 million. At this price, if you go to a South American country like Brazil, even if you come to Germany or go to the United Kingdom, you can contract a very large farm.

Moreover, 8 million is not a one-time contract for several years or ten years, but a contract fee of 8 million per year. However, after the farm is bought, in addition to paying taxes, the farm is basically privately owned in perpetuity, and the cost is many times worse.

Therefore, captive breeding in China is the most suitable way to raise, and free-range breeding can only go to Tibet and Inner Mongolia where there are natural geographical conditions. Other places that want to engage in free-range breeding are basically losing money.

"If you really want to build a large beef cattle farm or something, the domestic environment is really not suitable for the cost is too high, you can consider going abroad to get it. If you think Europe and the United States are too far away, you can do it on the Russian side. I have a relationship over there, I can keep you and the farm safe, and I can get you a big piece of land. Yang Dongxu suggested.

"It's very difficult, first of all, let's not talk about whether your sister and Xiaojiali are used to living abroad. Even my parents couldn't have let me run that far, even if Russia was a neighbor. Liu Leehom smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He does have a dream of a big farm, not only a breeding farm, but also a comprehensive planting and breeding farm.

If the farm is big enough, with a creek, or a lake or something, it would be perfect. When you're usually fine, you can take a stroll on a horseback and sleep in a deck chair in the shade of a tree, with a fishing rod next to you.

In fact, when he went to the big courtyard a few years ago, he saw Yang Dongxu fishing in the pond in his yard, and he was also very moved. However, in recent years, because of the groundwater in Yanjing, the water quality of the pond in the large courtyard has not been good.

Yang Dongxu had no choice but to get a waterproof layer underneath, and occasionally asked Cui's mother or Aunt Hua to change the water and raise some ornamental fish in it. And such a pond has undoubtedly lost its soul, that is, when living in the courtyard as a scene, there is no longer the comfort of moving a deck chair next to it.

"If you really want to go, find a suitable opportunity to ask about the ideological work. If you really engage in free-range breeding, we really have a relationship at home and abroad without worrying about selling, and it is indeed much more promising than a few mountains in your hometown. Yang Dongxu patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.

This matter can only be done by Leehom Liu, and when the eldest sister's family decides whether to contact the farm or get something else, it is actually trivial.

"Let's take the opportunity to talk about it, I originally came to visit foreign farms with great expectations. Now, although I feel that people are doing a good job, I am not in the mood to continue visiting. As soon as he thought of the price of land in China, Liu Leehom instantly didn't have the heart to think about building a large-scale free-range farm in China.

So after walking around, I felt that I didn't have much energy, and the two of them simply said goodbye to the farmer and returned to the town. Hang out on the town with your family.

If you don't want to travel to a big city, or to see some iconic buildings and historical relics. It's actually a good idea to go to a small country town and enjoy the slower pace of country life, and it doesn't cost much, not to mention, and it doesn't have the crowded feeling of the city or the country.

"What's wrong with my brother-in-law, I saw that he was sullen after he came back?" After playing until four o'clock in the afternoon, the group began to get in the car and go back to the city, Zhou Ya held her son, who was a little tired after running all morning, in her arms to let him sleep more comfortably.

"When it comes to the farm, my brother-in-law wants to have a large farm, or even a large-scale integrated farming and planting farm. This is not easy to get in China.

Even if you make it and don't make money, not to mention it, you may lose more money than you gain. After all, the price of land in China is too high, so let's get it abroad. He was afraid that his eldest sister and children would not be used to life abroad, and his parents would probably not agree. Or maybe he's not sure he'll be able to adapt to life abroad. Yang Dongxu said helplessly.

"It's up to him, if the eldest sister agrees with his parents and doesn't have any opinions, he can give him a farm. The family is not in agreement, and even he himself is not very sure, and we can't help him. ”

"That's the reason. Seriously, when I first started making money, I had two ideas, one was to buy a house and become an apartment, and the other was to have money to build a big farm.

What you eat is home-raised, green rest assured, nothing to ride a horse, and then sit by the lake to fish or something, it's not too beautiful. Yang Dongxu couldn't help but show a yearning look on his face.

"It's nice to think about retirement life in advance, but you only see the idle side of the farmer. Think about managing so many cattle and sheep every day, cleaning the manure in the breeding pen, and harvesting pasture...... I have to be busy with a lot of things every day.

How long will it take for you to be as comfortable as you think? If you don't ask someone else about the farm, you probably won't find that feeling.

So what you really want is either a farm, or a relaxing time after owning a farm. But if you live like that for too long, you will get tired of it.

So instead of having a farm, it's like eating eggs and having to raise chickens. It's better to occasionally treat him as a vacation and leisure project, and think about finding a suitable farm tour. I don't feel it, I just leave, and I don't drag. ”

"I think I feel a little bit like that when I hear you say that. I just want a leisurely life as a farmer, not really a farmer. Yang Dongxu couldn't help but smile and nodded.
