Chapter 396: A Comfortable Life
Whether the things grown and raised in the pasture are good or not, you can only feel more at ease if you have tasted them first. Even if some things have been tested by professional institutions, it is necessary to taste them yourself before you are about to use them to entertain guests.
Compared to the crops produced on the plantation, many employees of the farm have tasted and even fallen in love with the products produced by the plantation. The problem is, many ranch employees also know that the vast majority of these things are sold for money.
The boss is also very lucky to let them be 'guinea pigs'. If you want to eat it in the future, it depends on whether the boss is generous or not. Crops with excellent taste and quality, wouldn't it be a disguised benefit to give them for free?
After eating a do-it-yourself whole sheep feast, even the youngest girl, when she followed her mother around the pasture every day, seemed to recall the delicious taste of mutton when she looked at the meat sheep eating grass.
Seeing her daughter's gluttonous appearance, Lin Xin also cried and laughed: "Mengmeng, don't you think the sheep are cute?"
"Yes, Mom. They're not Pleasant Goats, though!"
seems to have found a reason for his greed, but Lin Xin still knows that following Zhuang Haiyang's side, not to mention that children's tastes have become picky, how can they not be like this as adults?
Fortunately, next, Zhuang Haiyang began to take Concubine Li and Lin Xin and others to the town near the ranch. As usual, some condolences were sent to the police officers who were in charge of policing the town, and party invitations were sent to them.
For these policemen who work in small towns, they also know that Zhuang Haiyang is a very generous rancher. Soon after buying the ranch, they donated two police cars to them in the name of the ranch, which made them overjoyed.
Not to mention the officials of the town, even the officials of the South Island were also very polite to Zhuang Haiyang. At the end of the day, as the ruling officials of the South Island, they also want to plan for the economy of the South Island and to improve the living conditions of the residents.
After Zhuang Haiyang took over the ranch, he also made a large investment in the ranch as they expected. Workers were hired to repair the ranch and a large amount of supplies were purchased, which benefited many people in the South Island.
As a well-known tourist attraction in New Zealand, the South Island also receives many domestic tourists every year. The problem is that the South Island is huge, and there aren't many places for tourists to visit in the small town where Zhuang Ocean Ranch is located.
Just as Nanzhou is a well-known tourist city, the places that can really receive tourists are nothing more than a few unique places. As a result, some places make money by hosting tourists, while others can only hold envious eyes.
Looking at the convenience store in the town, Concubine Li, who was accompanying her to buy things, said very happily: "The seafood here is so cheap! Such a big lobster, the price is cheaper than in China." ”
"Isn't this normal? When these things are exported to our country, the freight will increase, and we will have to pay taxes!"
In the face of the seafood sold in the convenience store, in order to entertain the guests who came to the ranch tonight, Zhuang Haiyang directly ordered a batch of seafood from the owner. When the time comes, it is delivered directly to the ranch by the owner to ensure that the freshest seafood is eaten.
Seeing this order, the shopkeeper was also very happy and said: "Sir, please rest assured, I promise to pick the freshest seafood and deliver it to your ranch." If you need anything in the future, you can call me at any time. ”
The population of the town itself is small, and it is difficult for the owner of the convenience store to receive such a large order. The more goods you sell, the more profit your boss can make.
It's rare to meet a high roller like Zhuang Haiyang, and the boss's attitude has become a little more humble, isn't it normal?
Considering that the beef cattle raised in the pasture are not possible to be slaughtered for the time being, Zhuang Haiyang can only order some cut finished steaks at the convenience goods. To the surprise of the convenience store owner, the steaks ordered by Zhuang Haiyang were not of a low grade.
If you are treated to other people, you will probably be reluctant to buy this high-quality steak. It can also be seen from one point that Zhuang Haiyang is indeed worthy of what the residents of the town said, he is a rancher who is willing to spend a lot of money.
But in Zhuang Haiyang's view, the money spent now is an investment. Ranch renovation is an investment, so isn't making connections an investment?
As long as the relationship is good, Zhuang Haiyang believes that the money spent now will be earned back exponentially or even dozens of times. After a while, the plantation's crops will start to be sold, which means that the ranch will start to earn money.
After purchasing and ordering a batch of things needed for the party, Zhuang Haiyang also took time to take Wang Yanming and Hong Wei to the freshwater lake of his ranch to fish. Prepare to catch a few salmon to make sashimi or fry fish fillets.
Under normal circumstances, the ranch is available for sale and consumption, and Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not waste money to buy it. Although the ranch also has its own exclusive fishing grounds, the problem is that Zhuang Haiyang has no plans to carry out fishing operations for the time being.
Even in the oyster area that he saw at the beginning, Zhuang Haiyang also told the ranch staff not to dig these oysters in the near future. For a few days when he came to live in the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang would drive over early in the morning, and then snorkel and patrol the surrounding fishing grounds.
Correspondingly, in the process of this inspection, Zhuang Haiyang also threw Dinghai pearl water to improve the nutrient content of the offshore fishery. Although the effect is not obvious for the time being, as time goes by, the number of marine life in this fishing ground will inevitably increase.
Far from it, the freshwater lake in the area of the pasture has seen a significant increase in fish in recent years. In some deep waters, Zhuang Haiyang can also see a lot of huge salmon, feeding and swimming underwater.
While the men are holding fishing rods, the women find a relatively flat grass by the lake and spread the cloth they have brought. The little girl, who seemed carefree, was running around by the lake like a joy, and the women just held and talked from time to time.
found a suitable location for fishing by the lake, Wang Yanming also sighed: "Ocean, I have to say, this kind of life is indeed very comfortable." When you have children in the future, it's really nice to live in a place like this. ”
"Of course, although I haven't thought about immigrating, it's not bad to have such a ranch and come and live there for a period of time every year. It not only keeps children from forgetting their roots, but also allows them to get in touch with the world and life abroad in advance. ”
"Well, it's just that such conditions are really not something that everyone dares to think. I think now, when I'm older, Meng Meng will start to be sensible. I went back to my hometown, found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and also built a small-scale farm. ”
If it was just thinking about it before, then seeing that his daughter loves such an environment so much, Wang Yanming, as a father, feels that he also needs to prepare in advance. If you want to realize this idea, you have to save a little more money.
Fortunately, the current income of the two of them should also be the highest in the company. If you work for a few more years, it shouldn't be a problem to build a leisure farm in a place like your hometown. Not to mention making money, it is enough to be able to do so without losing money.
Compared with living in the city, Wang Yanming feels that the rural environment is undoubtedly more suitable for the elderly. As for the child's study, if you really can't find a better private school, it's just to spend a little more money.
In that way, the children can get a better education and the two can have more personal space. I don't dare to buy a ranch like Zhuang Haiyang, and rent some land in my hometown to run a farm with barren mountains, and I don't think it's a big problem.
Regarding Wang Yanming's thoughts, Zhuang Haiyang was also very supportive: "Squad leader, the scenery in your hometown is actually not bad. If you want to find a place with mountains and rivers, I think it shouldn't be difficult. It's really a good place, I can also invest in it. ”
In Zhuang Haiyang's plan, the company may continue to open. But in the future, he should hire a professional management team. As for the salvage company and the fishing company, there is no need to work as hard as it does now.
Occasionally go out to sea and find a target worth salvage. Or maybe just drive a boat to a more lucrative area to fish. In that case, you don't have to work too long a year, but the benefits you can get are not too low.
With more free time, it's natural to enjoy more family life!
While chatting and fishing, to the surprise of the three of them, none of their fishing rods had ever moved. So much so that Hong Wei was also curious: "Ocean, there won't be no fish in this lake, right? Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"
"I don't know! Could it be, the bait we prepared is not good?"
"Didn't you buy this bait from the town?
In the process of chatting between the three of them, Zhuang Haiyang, who put away the fishing rod, looked at the bait that was not missing at all, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the fish in this lake, if you want to catch it, it really takes a little effort." Change the bait and try it!"
After removing the bait wrapped around the hook, Zhuang Haiyang re-pinched a little bait and threw it into the lake again. As a result, it turned out that re-feeding didn't seem to work. I saw a fish passing by, but the fish was not interested in the bait.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Haiyang quickly said, "Concubine, are there live shrimp at home?"
"Yes, what, isn't this bait good?"
"I don't think so! I think the fish in this lake are also carnivores. I drove back to get some live shrimp, and I remember that salmon seemed to be more of a shrimp and squid. Swap out the bait and try again!"
With Zhuang Haiyang driving home, he brought the shrimp that was originally used to eat. After replacing with live shrimp, Zhuang Haiyang threw the fishing rod into the lake again. After a while, I saw the fish drift sinking violently.
Zhuang Haiyang, who quickly lifted it, was also very happy in his mouth: "Haha, what I said is true, the fish in this lake love meat more." This strength is really not small, this fish is estimated to be about ten catties. ”
"Wow, this is really a lot of movement! Slip away for a while, take your time!"
With Hong Wei and Wang Yanming, they all turned their eyes to Zhuang Haiyang's side. Even the little girl who was playing on the shore saw Zhuang Haiyang who was fishing, and let her mother stay by the lake to watch, and seemed to be full of curiosity about this scene!
