The number of animals on the pastures is increasing.

The coast attracts many seabirds such as albatross and red-billed gulls to nest, because the ocean is rich in food, and the surrounding sea lions and seals also gather to breed.

On land, there are also some uninvited guests who break into the pasture, elk and black bears are blocked out by the fence, but they can't stop foxes, raccoons, marmots, rabbits and other animals, and occasionally some snakes break in, and they can often be seen hovering on the stones to bask in the sun, the scene is not pretty.

The river washed over the golden birds, flowing everywhere along the tributaries that had just been excavated for less than two years.

It not only fattened cattle and sheep, and made pastures and fruit trees grow faster, but also attracted some annoying animals, such as foxes, who put their chicks in the cattle pen for a while that day, and were soon killed by foxes more than 20 of them.

It's not about eating, it's more like having fun, and marmots and rabbits are occasionally poisoned, and there are probably only raccoons with sharp claws that can fight with them.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaokai already has the idea of applying for a hunting permit to eradicate some of the scourges, and he also wants to fish the golden bird out of the river to make his ranch less attractive.

As for the snakes, they are eliminated every time they encounter them, and they are not earthworms, they can be killed with one shot after being hit, and if they are scattered bullets, they will be smashed into mud.

Little Patrick is very good at catching snakes, and occasionally roasts and eats together, but is not allowed to take pictures.

In order to limit the excessive annoyance of the animals, it is necessary to upgrade the fence and transform it into a denser grid of barbed wire fences, so many hills and wilderness in Oregon that these wild animals can live and there is no need to put them in Cleveland ranch.

If it is some elk, bison, wild horses, squirrels and other animals, Zhang Xiaokai is happy to live in harmony with them.

After the hens arrived, they began to customize some nests to be placed in the wild to lay eggs for them.

The purchase of barbed wire is also on the agenda, and some short-term workers can be hired to help fence it up, while other employees have been busy with other things recently.

The third day back home.

Zhang Xiaokai came to the resort with the people to pick peaches, leaving some for himself to eat and distribute to the guests of the resort, and the rest could be taken out and sold.

Almost every peach is bigger than his fist, but unfortunately there are too many bugs, and it doesn't look too good, but it tastes really good.

Crisp sweet peaches, the flesh is red and white, and I feel like I don't need to eat lunch after three stomachs.

I picked a peach from a branch, looked up and saw the peach leaves that had been eaten by insects, and the sawdust that had been pulled out by insects at the bottom of the trunk, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this little peach tree.

Zhang Xiaokai felt that it was necessary to curb the number of insects, so he simply continued to investigate how to effectively and ecologically control the insect plague, and the feedback he received was that he used insects to control insects and use biological control technology to kill insects.

Sitting in the peach forest and reading a paper, which made him think it was quite interesting, he sent an email to the author of the paper by the way, saying that he was asking the other party to help for a fee.

Otherwise, he could startle countless white moths when he walked, which made him very unhappy, and the insect plague had reached the point where it had to be contained.

Kenny Cowboy also comes to help pick peaches.

I was young when we first met, but now I am a little older, or it may be because of long-term work and tanned skin.

"Yesterday I was drinking with the staff at the Gold Ranch next door, and that guy wanted to come and work with us, so he kept pleasing me.

When I was invited to drink, I told me that Mr. Gold Sr. was not in good health, because of smoking, he had terminal lung cancer, and probably did not live until next spring, and that his son and daughter had a bad relationship, and did not like the ranch, and that he might choose to sell the ranch in the near future. ”

"It's really bad news, it's the first time I've heard of it, is there no way to treat it?"

Zhang Xiaokai asked.

If you want to say that there is a good feeling, in fact, there are not many people, and among the people who denigrated the biological hormones used in the Cleveland Ranch, there is also the name of the old Gold.

In recent years, he has stolen the breeding technology of Cleveland Ranch, but the effect is not good, after all, he does not know the existence of golden birds, this is the most important "breeding technology".

Kenny shook his head and continued:

"I can't help it, I'm going to go to the big hospital in San Francisco for treatment and try to prolong my life, so I thought about selling the Gold Ranch, and it is said that the old man has already taken a potential buyer to see it, and others have asked the cowboys some questions about the Gold Ranch, and the sale of the ranch is not a secret among the employees over there.

In my opinion, it is better to stay here, and what is the point of going to the hospital, it will only exhaust the energy that is already scarce, and spend time on meaningless treatments, and the current medical technology cannot cure cancer. ”

The old man in his seventies is older than Zhang Xiaokai's grandfather Ronald Sr.

It's not too sad to live to this age, but it's not too sad. But after all, it means that life is coming to an end, and it is easy to think that one day in the future, you will have that ending.

Zhang Xiaokai thought about the Gold Ranch, and said: "If I can confirm that Mr. Gold is willing to sell the Gold Ranch, I hope to sell it over there, help me ask again, as long as the news is confirmed, I will ask my father to talk to him." ”

Mr. Kenny didn't think much of it, and his eyes lit up, "Yes, you can afford to buy it, so you can raise more cattle and sheep! I'll call now, and I'll be later!"

Land prices have skyrocketed in recent years and have not been affected by the subprime mortgage crisis a few years ago.

The Gold Ranch is slightly larger, and in addition to freehold, there is also a leased agricultural land that can be used for decades.

Frankly.

Zhang Xiaokai is really excited, with the current strength of Cleveland Ranch, it is easy to take it, don't forget that in more than half a month, you will be able to get the first trust dividend when you become an adult, and the amount is more than 20 million US dollars.

At that time, he made a lot of money by investing in Internet companies such as Apple and Amazon, and the trust company also made a lot of money by taking commissions from it.

Treasury bonds and stocks have also been bought, and now there are special managers to help take care of them, and considering the size of the Cleveland ranch, the land that can be raised is still a little smaller.

Zhang Xiaokai felt that it was possible to dig another tributary, and the water from the river affected by the golden bird should be diverted to irrigate the pasture, which should also have an effect.

Mr. Kenny was talking on the phone next to him, and it sounded like a bit of a joke.

Really.

At this time, Mr. Kenny put down the phone and said, "Someone just went to see the ranch in the morning, and the bid was 30 million dollars, which is said to be from Seattle, and this should really want to sell ......"
