303. Auction site
When Cowboy Cliff ran to Mark to ask for credit, Mark suddenly felt even more headache when he looked at the trade list.
He covered his head and asked, "One hundred and twenty bighorns, you sold them all?"
Cliff gave a knightly salute and said, "Yes, boss, that guy was only going to buy a portion of it, about fifty heads, but after my pitch - you know I'm very talented in it, and he ......"
As he spoke, he felt that Mark's expression was not quite right, and his voice gradually became quieter.
Mark stood up angrily and shouted: "I only have fifty-five cows on the auction table, and I have to raise the rest of the cattle myself! Do you know how much effort and effort I put into getting these bighorn cattle into Iceland?
Cliff was dumbfounded, he wanted to shoot a sycophant, but he didn't expect to shoot a horse egg.
He was very aggrieved in his heart, what Mark said at the time was to meet all Chen Song's requirements.
In order to earn impression points, he said to Mark with difficulty: "If I say that I just said that I was talking nonsense, do you believe it? Actually, I didn't sell it, it was the guy who offered to buy all the bighorn cattle." ”
Mark covered his head and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you can't do any trivial things, I have a headache from you." ”
Kevendick asked, "Would you like to take a painkiller?"
Mark was going crazy with anger.
Kevendik waved his hand and said, "Sell it, sell it, why do you have to raise bighorn cows? ”
Mark had even more headaches, how could he deal with it? He couldn't deal with a cop who was determined to mess with him.
What he feared most was that Luke really wanted to kill him, so that a gun would solve the problem.
Mark Bradson, who said he was the host, caused a scandal and was beaten, but this did not affect the auction, and even the participating farmers and ranchers were more interested.
Chen Song followed Olakafu into the venue, a large warehouse that had been cleaned up.
This auction is very hardcore, full of Nordic farm and ranch style, that is, a half-meter-high platform is laid in the warehouse, and then someone leads cattle, sheep and pigs and other livestock to the stage for auction.
There are farmers and ranchers on all sides of the stage, big guys are sitting or standing, some people are leaning directly against the wall of the warehouse, and they are interested in raising their hands to shout the bid, because everyone knows each other, so there is no need for a number, and the auctioneer will write down the name of the bidder.
Chen Song entered the warehouse in a lively atmosphere, but most people were talking about Mark's lace news.
Seeing the two of them enter, the ranchers, who were laughing enthusiastically, were silent for a few seconds.
Although Chen Song's combat effectiveness could not win him respect, he could win awe.
Chen Song didn't pay attention to these red necks with little quality, and the club chairman Mark was a wife, and these people were no better.
When he entered, he saw that there was a vacant seat directly in front of the platform, so he sat down with Olakafor.
Then a rancher said, "This is the chairman's seat. ”
"The chairman will not come. Chen Song said expressionlessly.
The rancher shrugged and said, "Okay, you're the big guy." ”
As soon as they sat down, two cows, a male and a female, were led to the stage, and the two cows were white and well-proportioned, with high shoulders and strong sarcomas on their backs.
The auctioneer with two brown beards lifted his cowboy hat and said enthusiastically: "Okay guys, let's put our eyes on the stage, this big cow guy may have heard of it but is not familiar with it, yes, it is the Indian sacred cow." ”
"All of you here are visionaries, you should know that in India this sacred cow does not have to work, they will be sent to the temple to be raised, India has a law that this kind of cow cannot be killed or eaten, but in fact, its meat quality is very good, we can enjoy it in Iceland ......"
"1 million kroner for bulls, 600,000 kroner for cows, 50,000 kroner at a time, raise your hand and tell me if you are interested......"
A stout rancher raised his arm and smiled: "I saw them on the street when I traveled to India, and the Indians really don't kill them, but they don't all send them to the temple to supply, they also have to work, and when they are old, they are released, and we saw them on the streets of the city." ”
"Hey, it's a blessing to be a cow in India, but aren't there still people there who can't eat?"
The man who spoke also raised his arm, he gestured with his hand to the number, and the auctioneer shouted: "Cassius, Cassius pushed the price up by 200,000!"
The rancher who made the first bid raised his hand again, and he continued to laugh: "It's not so comfortable, the cattle that are released back into the streets will have no one to feed them, and they will be hungry and skinny." ”
Suddenly, the auctioneer shouted again: "Brown, Brown pushed the price up by 250,000, is there anything higher?" Raise your arm and let me see!"
While chatting, everyone bids with each other.
Chen Song had no interest in these cattle, and a batch of Boer goats were sent to the auction table, these goats were carefully raised by a rancher, and each one was well cared for.
There are a lot of bighorn cattle, and there are hundreds of sheep, which can not be loaded by ordinary trailers, and even if they can fit ordinary traction heads, they cannot be pulled.
Fortunately, Chen Song's tractor and trailer are super goods, the trailer limit can be divided into three layers, Goble will dare the first batch of cattle to go up and rise, and there is another layer of cattle in the middle, and the bottom is loaded with sheep in addition to cattle, which can be transported in place at one time.
The tonnage of bighorn cattle is not too large, mainly because the two horns on the head are amazingly large, the largest horn is nearly one meter in size, and they have to be arranged manually.
Compared to their burly appearance, these cattle are very docile, and after being put on the cart, they honestly kneel, obediently stick out their horns, and then remain motionless.
The cowboy in charge of driving the cattle said that this is the result of taming on the transport ship, which has little space, and Africans try to load as much cargo as possible for profit, and the cows have become accustomed to kneeling in a small space and not moving.
This is not conducive to the development of bighorn cattle, and Chen Song will raise them freely when he returns.
Olacafo also bought a few cows, including Piedmontese, a breed of meat and milk cattle from the Piedmontese region of northern Italy.
Piedmontese cattle have a high meat yield and lean meat percentage, a low fat content, and are scattered in very fine particles, so the meat is tender and has a good taste, and the small ranch is ready to raise it for its own consumption.
There are a large number of cattle and sheep, and it is in the afternoon to survive.
Chen Song and the others were about to leave, Mark and Kevendik came out to see them off, and Mark gave Chen Song a certificate and warmly welcomed him to join the Icelandic Rancher Club.
Originally, Chen Song was not going to participate in this club, but Olakafort wanted to go to Mark to tell him about it, and he could only follow Olakafor's kindness.
