Chapter Eighty-Nine: Transition
Now that it's been decided, it's time to make the switch. John went to the herd first, and prepared for the cowboys to move the herd. Qin Xu stayed and temporarily worked as a cowboy for a while. Although John has repeatedly stated that he is fine in his absence, the calf will not run around.
With a black face, he sent this somewhat upright old cowboy away, while Qin Xu took little Jerry, who had been squatting on his shoulder, and walked his horse in the ranch.
Riding Xiaobai and strolling in the middle of the improved alfalfa that had just grown, Qin Xu began to consider the feasibility of fully sowing new varieties of pasture. He has no shortage of seeds, but pasture irrigation is a big problem.
Although it can also be done manually, it is not to mention that it is tiring, and the efficiency is also unacceptable to Qin Xu.
Just when Qin Xu was thinking a little intrigued, suddenly the local tyrant gold in his pocket rang out. The little Jerry, who was squatting on his shoulder and munching on walnuts leisurely, was scared. I went straight to the front.
Qin Xu was startled, and he didn't bother to look at his phone. With both hands, he narrowly caught it before it fell off his horse.
After putting little Jerry, who was still a little confused, into his arms and sitting down, he patted his head for comfort. Qin Xu picked up the phone at this time.
"Boss, come over to the grazing area, there's something I need you to do. As soon as the phone was connected, John's voice came.
What can happen in a changing scene? But it was obviously not clear on the phone. After agreeing, Qin Xu hung up the phone.
Looking at little Jerry, who had not yet recovered his senses, he patted his little head with his hand lightly.
After hitting a wit, the little body shook a little, and the little guy came back to his senses a little. As soon as he came back to his senses, little Jerry suddenly began to squeak at Qin Xu, obviously dissatisfied that Qin Xu had scared him.
Laughing and rubbing little Jerry's head, this was not his intention, holding the little guy and comforting him for a while. He promised to prepare his favorite pine nuts when he went back, and the little one quieted down.
Qin Xu smiled helplessly, this is another living ancestor. But thinking about this guy's confused look just now, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
By the time Qin Xu drove his horse to the grazing area, John had already gathered all the cattle, and at this time, tens of thousands of black Angus cattle were gathered in the vast pasture, and they were black. You can't see the edge at a glance.
The cowboys had already arrived by this time, and from time to time they could hear their shouts and the sound of horsewhips waving in the air. Occasionally, calves run out of the herd disobediently, and cowboys can be seen performing live performances to tie calves.
Seeing Qin Xu coming, John stepped down his beloved horse with his legs between his legs, and stepped forward and said: "Boss, the distance between the cattle is a little far, if you can pass from the pasture next door, it will be a straight line for a day, and the distance will be much shorter." ”
Qin Xu's brows furrowed slightly, it seemed that the ranch of Kate's family was next door, although the two knew each other, but the United States had such a strong concept of private territory, how could he allow so many cows, sheep and cowboys to pass through his territory.
John seemed to see Qin Xu's worries, and pulled the reins of Sandra. smiled and said: "Boss, don't worry, Kate will agree." ”
After a pause, he looked at Qin Xu's somewhat puzzled eyes, and then said: "This is the old tradition of our cowboys, but their ranch is not big, once our cattle herd passes, it is estimated that there will be some losses, and then we can compensate for some." ”
Qin Xu was even more confused, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Americans value private territory the most?
John shook his head and explained, "That was now, the old pastures didn't have much irrigation system, and in order to protect the pastures, they had to move from one part of the pasture to another every year, and sometimes it happened to pass through other people's pastures, so there was such a tradition. ”
After speaking, John looked at the black herd in front of him and sighed deeply. Looking at Qin Xu and continuing: "It's different now, some rich people have bought ranches one after another. There is too much emphasis on the sense of private territory. Now I want to change the scene, and I have to pray that the rancher next door is not a rich man. ”
Qin Xu touched his nose in embarrassment, he is also a rich man now. But I really don't feel anything about private territories, and I still saw an introduction on the Internet, saying that private territories in the United States are sacrosanct. He thought it had always been like this, but who knew that it was made by rich people.
John also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Isn't his boss a billionaire?
Quickly explained: "Boss, I don't mean you, you are not like those billionaires, we all know that you are a good person." ”
Well, it's okay not to explain. John's explanation Qin Xu was even more depressed, looking at his somewhat embarrassed look, he really wanted to squirt this old cowboy to death with a mouthful of salt soda. Good man, your sister.
Qin Xu hurriedly took out his phone and diverted his attention. Otherwise, I will really be suffocated from internal injuries.
I found Kate's phone and dialed it, and it was picked up after just two rings.
"Hey, Qin, you're a rare guest, what's the matter?" Kate greeted very warmly as soon as she spoke.
Now Qin Xu's mood is a little more relaxed, it seems that Lao Mei also has someone who can talk. Pulled the reins of Xiaobai and told this guy not to be too active. Then he smiled and told Kate about it.
Kate immediately agreed as soon as she heard this, and after asking Qin Xu clearly that she was ready, she said that he was now in Revere and would go back immediately, so that they could leave now.
Qin Xu was slightly stunned, and then he felt that there seemed to be a noise in the microphone, and he could faintly hear the horn of the car. After agreeing and asking him not to drive slowly and in a hurry, Qin Xu hung up the phone.
John smiled and asked, "Boss, how is it, Kate agreed?"
Qin Xu nodded, "Yes, he has already agreed, but he is still in Revere now, and it will take a while to get home." ”
John shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and rode his horse towards the distant herd, and his voice came from afar: "It's okay, boss, we should go for at least half an hour." The herd transition is the most troublesome, especially on such a large scale. ”
Looking at John's dashing back, Qin Xu couldn't help but sigh, if this is in China, who would dare to talk to the boss like this!
He laughed casually, what happened to him today? Love and his subordinates are more serious. Are you really stimulated by that good guy card?
