Chapter 12: "The Bottom of the Pot" (Part II)
After preparing everything, Qin Xu looked at the time, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Xu decided to sign up for the driver's license test first.
Little John took Qin Xu to Revere's Motor Vehicle Management Office, and Qin Xu went in and asked about the driver's license test!
I handed in all the materials and everything, got a written test paper, answered it quickly, and passed it without accidents, which was too simple.
I successfully got the training qualification certificate, and I can go to buy a car. However, you can't drive alone.
I asked Little John, how long does it take to make an appointment for a road test?
"Boss, you're looking for a driving school, if you make an appointment on the official website, it will take three to four months before it will be your turn. Little John suggested.
It seems that there are internal relationships everywhere, Qin Xu sighed with emotion and went to a driving school in Revere, paid the money and made an appointment to practice tomorrow, and returned to the ranch with Little John.
When they arrived at the ranch, they called John's family to help him prepare the ingredients, and as soon as John entered the door, he asked, "Boss, there is an engineering team in the ranch, what are you going to build?"
Qin Xu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly opened the system and asked Fei Fei, "Fei Fei, is this engineering team here to build a cowboy apartment?"
"Yes, master, the apartment will be built in ten days, and it will be shipped directly assembled from ready-made modules!"
"Oh, like that. I see that the place where you live is also a bit old, and the ranch will definitely recruit people, so rebuild ten denim apartments" Qin Xu looked at John and said after understanding the matter!
"Oh, God, Qin, you are such a generous boss!" John looked very happy, after all, it was a great pleasure to have such a generous boss!
When he saw Qin Xu's truckload of harvest, especially the 200 pounds of high-quality beef, John was even more sure that this was a generous boss, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry about it in the future!
Qin Xu and the others were busy here, marinating some ingredients to be used for barbecue, while John took a fishing rod to get a few fish in the sea.
Qin Xu originally wanted to follow along to see the legendary sea fishing, but he was a little too busy here, and he had to receive guests for a while, so he couldn't go this time.
There are a lot of people who came today, and several ranchers around them said that they would come over in the evening, and after listening to John's introduction to Qin Xu, he knew that there were really a lot of neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. Kate at Kate Farm, the family of Old York and their son Little York at Grizzly Bear Ranch, and the Joseph family's rose farm,
In total, there are more than a dozen people here today, all of whom are surrounding ranchers!
Qin Xu and Little John were cutting beef and lamb chops together, while Susie was washing vegetables on the side, and when the meat on Qin Xu's side was cut and marinated, Old John also came back with seven or eight fish.
Qin Xu looked at the cod, herring and sea bass in John's hand, and couldn't help but praise, "Hey, John, you're really amazing, you can catch so much"
While taking the fish to deal with it, John replied to Qin Xu, "Boss, the fishery hasn't opened fish for a long time. The catch inside is abundant. ”
Qin Xu said thoughtfully, "So, we will have our first income soon?"
"Yes, boss, just need to add a fishing boat. You can start fishing!"
Qin Xu secretly pondered to himself, how much money does a fishing boat cost. Hundreds of thousands can buy a good one, and find a few fishermen. Your first points are here!
Don't think about it for the time being, Qin Xu saw that John was handling the fish, so he called Little John to go and carry the barbecue out and put it on the lawn outside the villa.
I went to the warehouse and took out the charcoal that John had usually accumulated, which was made from the thick branches of the pine trees that John had picked up in the mountains!
Just when everything was ready, a pickup truck drove at the door, and a couple came down after stopping at the door.
John introduced this as Mr. and Mrs. Kate's ranch is not far from here, and it is a small family-run ranch. Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Kate and welcome them into the house!
After chatting for a few words, there was the sound of a car outside, Qin Xu had no choice but to say sorry to Kate and go out to continue to greet the guests.
This time it was Old York with his son Little York and his granddaughter Little Lucy, and just after greeting them, Joseph of Rose Ranch with his wife Jira, eldest daughter Mobecca and youngest son Jack also arrived.
Qin Xu greeted everyone while welcoming everyone to sit inside, and everyone greeted Qin Xu warmly.
And they were all surprised by the luxury of the villa, so Qin Xu took everyone to visit the villa.
By the time it came out, John had already put the beef and lamb chops on the grill. Susie also made all the salads.
So he beckoned everyone to sit on the grill, and took out beer and wine, and the adults were drinking and chatting, and little Jack seemed to take Lucy to play on the rockery.
After waiting for a while, the smell of meat wafted around, and everyone took the plate and ate freely.
Qin Xu got a piece of beef and took a bite of it, well, the tender beef, full of juice, and the fine tasting also had a pine fragrance, which was very good. Although it was born a little.
However, considering that the people present are not used to eating by themselves, the minority obeys the majority.
Everyone eats beef, and they all think it's very good. A few compliments from time to time. After all, it's the premium beef. Although everyone runs a ranch, they don't eat it often, a few dozen dollars a pound.
At this time, Joseph next to him tasted the lamb chops in his hand and said, "The lamb chops are really good,"
Qin Xu heard John say that Joseph was the head chef of a Michelin restaurant before he retired, and his skills were quite good.
I don't know why I retired early. So I got a small farm at home and raised some flowers in the roses!
Qin Xu chatted with Joseph, and Mobecca next to him suddenly interjected, "Qin, are you from China?
Qin Xu looked up at the girl who was talking, in her early twenties, with a very good figure, long silky golden hair, a high nose bridge, big eyes, and blinking at Qin Xu,
"Yes, that's the Great Wall of China, built thousands of years ago, you can go and see it if you have time," Qin Xu said as he looked at Mobeca's slightly wistful eyes
Mobecca looked yearning, when she has time, she must go to the mysterious oriental country to see, and at this time, the little Jack who had taken Lucy to play also came over and greeted Qin Xu like a little adult.
Qin Xu looked at Little Jack, who was about eight years old, wearing a little black tuxedo like a little gentleman, Qin Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, dear Little Jack." You're like a gentleman. ”
Little Jack was so pleased with this serious greeting that he felt like an adult.
But suddenly a hand reached out next to him and rubbed it on his head, and there was a hateful laugh from his sister, "Yes, little Jack is a gentleman." Giggles..."
Looking at the siblings who are making a mess. Qin Xu suddenly thought about his sister and little sister.
Took a big sip of beer and listened to them talk about the plight of ranch management.
Kate said, "This year's forage price has risen again, and the beef and mutton have only risen by a few cents, and my forage for the winter has not yet been settled."
Old York also nodded and agreed, "yes." The grass is up by a third from last year, and this damn Wall Street is a moth!"
Qin Xu wondered, how did selling beef get involved on Wall Street? So he asked, "What's the matter with Wall Street?"
Old York explained, "Qin, you haven't been on a ranch before. Cattle and sheep are traded in the fall and winter, and Wall Street will make bullshit indicators based on the market.
Set the price of beef and mutton, and you won't get it by then, so you won't get it until the last month!"
Qin Xu Khan, these people who engage in finance are everywhere. No wonder Occupy Wall Street some time ago, yes.
Old York continued, "So we've recently been thinking about supplying cattle and sheep directly to restaurants, eliminating a middle-of-the-road and expanding profits. ”
Qin Xu nodded, this is a solution, and suddenly Qin Xu thought that his ranch was vacant so much. And I don't plan to raise so many cattle for a while. So he said
"I should have a lot of grass left on my pasture. If you need it, come and pull it. ”
Both of them nodded excitedly and said so much. Isn't it just for this pasture, this is already the largest pasture in this area. Indeed, the grass does not look for whom you look,
When it got dark, everyone went home. Because of the drive, everyone didn't drink much. But it's all fun,
Qin Xu looked at the mess in the place, and quickly slipped away, leaving the rest to John!
