41. God is dozing!
"Your cows can't produce strong offspring! My friends have been to your ranch! It's full of calves the size of goats!"
"Fake, you stupid pig, what the hell is going on with you?"
"Shut up! you're a piece of trash, and so are your cows!"
"Do you want to fight?"
At one fence, seven or eight people were arguing about something, and the two in the middle were scuffling together, their faces colorful.
Emperor Wu walked over and asked the onlookers, and probably understood. The cattle to be sold in the pen were considered inferior, and most of its offspring were frail calves, and the owner of the cattle wanted to sell it by deception, but it was discovered by someone who knew the story, which led to a quarrel.
"BOSS, the black-hearted cow owner just wants to sell the cattle at shoddy. Turks said.
The two men fighting in the center of the arena were not bad, and they didn't let each other take advantage of each other, and finally the security personnel of the trading market came to stop the fight.
"Let's go, don't let other ranches buy our favorite cattle. ”
Emperor Wu was just about to leave when he heard a low roar from the controversial breeding cow, which was so strong and powerful that Emperor Wu turned his head hesitantly.
The cow was small in size, even a little emaciated, giving a feeling of weakness, but it was dark throughout, blacker than the darkest charcoal, black and shiny, with a particularly thick neck, and its two front hooves kept digging in the ground, as if ready to rush out of the fence at any moment.
Emperor Wu, who was already a little tired, decided to open the "Heavenly Eye" to check the information of this thorn that caused strife.
He was ecstatic by the feedback from Shennong's knowledge, this bull is one of the best breeding cattle in a million, although there is no bright spot on the outside, but the potential is huge, like a dwarf with the soul of a giant living in his body.
Its emaciated body is perfectly proportioned, well-developed in all parts, its heart is large and energetic, its four stomach ventricles are elastic, its internal bones are thick and growing, and its muscles are plump and firm like a natural athlete, which no one can see unless a cow is dissected.
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and whispered to Tex: "The Australian Good Breed Cattle Competition is over, and this black bull has won the championship." ”
Turks was puzzled, the boss actually became interested in a problem cow, and just two minutes ago, two strong men fought over this inferior cow.
"You're not kidding, this dwarf cow looks like it has indigestion or some other disease that doesn't grow. Turks shook his head.
"Dude, do you think I'm joking, I'm going to find a way to get this breeding cow back to the pasture today, no matter what. Emperor Wu patted him on the shoulder.
While the manager of the trading market was mediating the dispute, Emperor Wu went around to the fence to observe the cow up close.
Its fur is supple and full of spirits, and from that point of view, it is definitely a good cow.
Emperor Wu wondered that from a genetic point of view, the offspring of this breeding cow should not be bad, but why is it not as expected.
After the crowd dispersed, Emperor Wu began to talk to the cow owner with a frustrated face.
"Hey, why is this cow half the size of other cows, is it dwarfism?"
The bull owner who was squatting on the ground and smoking looked at Emperor Wu, and then at Tex next to him, and was in a bad mood and didn't want to speak.
Tex was very dissatisfied with his attitude and wanted to come forward to theorize, but was stopped by Emperor Wu.
"Dude, I can see that you are very distressed by this cow, and now you have good news, I don't know if you want to hear it. Emperor Wu squatted down.
A glimmer of light flashed in front of the bull owner's eyes, and soon it dimmed again, and he had no expectations for his cattle.
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Emperor Wu smiled helplessly, got up and imitated the deep voice of the bull owner and asked, "I want to know." ”
"Very good, the good news is that I'm going to buy your cow. ”
His words took the cattle owner by surprise.
"Are you going to buy a good-for-nothing breeding cow? Who are you? Bill Gates, who has so much money that he doesn't know how to spend it? Or are you a shareholder in a welfare foundation?"
Emperor Wu smiled, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I want to buy your cattle, you just need to know this." ”
Tex followed suit: "I'm sure you're not going to deliberately inflate the price just because we're interested in it." ”
The bull owner laughed twice, "Of course not, if you really want to buy it, it is simply an angel sent by God." ”
His name was Victor Hugo, and his namesake with the great French writer did not bring him good luck.
"Emperor Wu, this is Tex, one of the tens of thousands of ranches we come from in Australia. ”
Victor didn't want to know where they came from, he just wanted to get rid of the damn breeding cow as soon as possible.
He bought the black cow four years ago from a live cattle breeding base, which specializes in improving cattle breeds, which is to import excellent breeding cattle from all over the world and let them work together to breed the next generation.
When Victor said that it was the offspring of a cross between the Chinese Qinchuan bull and the Italian Piedmontese cow, Emperor Wu immediately felt very cordial, no wonder he had a good impression of this guy, it turned out to be a fellow countryman.
"Cool, my boss is also from China. Turks said.
Victor was surprised, "God, I thought you were Korean." ”
"Dude, it seems that you don't know much about Asians, Koreans have small and slender eyes. ”
Victor went on to tell the story of the cow, which he bought as a calf, but after raising it for a while he found that it was growing very slowly, and that the same batch of Angus cattle he had bought was already formed, and it was still like a hairy young man.
What's worse is that its offspring are all inferior calves with weak physique, which is terrible!
"All of them, are there no sturdy offspring, even one?" asked Emperor Wu.
Victor thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is only one of its descendants, and it is the only one of its descendants that can be sold, and it should be that God is dozing off, so that it has a strong offspring!"
Emperor Wu calculated in his heart, according to the feedback of Shennong's knowledge, theoretically speaking, the descendants of this cow should be very good, in fact, there is only one excellent one, and he thinks that the group of weak and sick descendants is God dozing!
"Can you go to your ranch and have a look? I imagine seeing its offspring. ”
"Of course, my ranch is not far away. ”
In the car, Emperor Wu repeatedly weighed the transaction, thinking about the value of the cow.
Five years ago, he took a career in biology after returning from working in Australia, so he has some knowledge of genetics.
Genes are divided into dominant genes and recessive genes, in the process of inheritance, only when double recessive genes exist at the same time, can the traits of recessive genes be expressed, otherwise the traits of dominant genes will be expressed, just like a piece of white paper splashed with black ink, you can't see white.
According to biological common sense, the body shape and physique of cattle are dominant traits, and theoretically the probability of being strong in the offspring is 75%, while the thin one accounts for only 25%.
Contrary to the theory, the vast majority of the cow's descendants were emaciated, and Emperor Wu believed that this was an extremely unlikely event, and that it was a breeding cow with terrible luck.
Trait expression is determined by both the environment and genes, and the leaves in water are smaller and more elongated than those in the air. The probability imbalance of the black bull's offspring was also related to the environment, so he went to Victor's ranch to check the situation.
When he arrived at his ranch, Emperor Wu immediately discovered the problem. The first thing you see is a mountainous area, the pastures are built on the hills, the free-range cattle and sheep are mostly on the slopes, and only a small meadow is level.
The father of this black cow is the Chinese Qinchuan cattle, and the father's genes are so strong that they almost block the light of the Italian cow, so it shows a strong Qinchuan cow character.
The feedback of Shennong's knowledge is that Qinchuan cattle can not adapt well in tropical and subtropical areas and mountainous conditions, and can develop normally in the natural environment and climatic conditions of plain and hilly areas.
Another point is that this Qinchuan cow was introduced to Australia from the Guanzhong Plain in China because of imported crossbreeding, and the huge changes in the environment made it not adapt to the Australian climate, which may be one of the reasons for the recessive expression of excellent genes.
In this way, the problem is solved, the geographical location of Victor Ranch is destined for the tragedy of the black bull, and the South Australian Ranch in the plains is the paradise where it can play to its advantage.
Emperor Wu immediately signed a purchase agreement with Victor to buy the black Qinchuan cow for 15,000 Australian dollars, believing that it would shine when he brought it back to the South Australian pasture.
Looking at the depressed Victor, Emperor Wu was a little reluctant, and he promised to give him a few as compensation if the black bull produced excellent offspring.
Although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, Emperor Wu didn't want to bring that set to the free grassland, he wanted a humane pasture.
