"Hamdan bought two large rovers. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Natalie said with a smile. "In one day, all the termite nests were found. ”
Natalie said with a smug look on her face. "Me and Alta, the car. ”
"Rover?" said Lingna. "Can you buy one with the money you make from termite nests?"
Natalie didn't speak, let alone buy one back, half a car was enough to choke.
"No, we're going to drive to explore the treasure, maybe we can dig up the treasure and earn it back. Natalie, said.
"Well, Sister Natalie, say, I'm going to treasure hunting tomorrow. Toot said.
"Tomorrow, have a goal?" asked Lingna.
"We're looking up Texas and maybe we'll be able to find a clue to write. Alta said. "After all, there have been many wars in Texas. ”
"You're going to find war relics?" said Lingna, smiling. "I know a place. ”
"Where, Aunt Lingna. The little man asked, pulling Lena by the tug.
"The place is very close. Lingna said with a smile.
Li Han saw Jennifer on the side, looked at Ling Na with a smile, and was slightly stunned. "It won't be here at St. Andrew's Farm. ”
"Hehe, that's right. Lingna said with a smile. "There used to be a big battle here. ”
"It was a battle one hundred and fifty years ago, with about twenty or thirty people participating. Lena said.
"Lingna, how do you know, so clear. Natalie looked at Lena curiously.
Lena looked at Jennifer. "Jennifer, yesterday I read the history of Texas and saw that it involved St. Andrew's Farm, and told me about it. ”
"Mom saw it. "Whoa, whoa.
"In more than a hundred years, how many relics have been found, but I can't say for sure. ”
"I'll check it out tomorrow. ”
"Jennifer, is the specific location mentioned in the book?" asked Li Han.
Jennifer nodded. "In this area close to the lake. ”
"Is that the lake down the hillside?" exclaimed Natalie, surprised. "Han, do you remember, down the hillside, that big lake? ”
"Of course. ”
"Look at the description, it's really there. Wait, Jennifer found the description of the lake.
Li Han wanted to see the surrounding environment of the lake, and in comparison, it was true, not much has changed in one hundred and fifty years. "Wow, Pandora is going to dig up the treasure tomorrow. ”
"Dad, are you going?"
"Dad, I don't want to go tomorrow because I have some things to do. ”
Li Han is going to participate in the spring auction in the neighboring town tomorrow, this is not an antique, jewelry auction, but a cattle and sheep auction. The cattle and sheep auctioned at this time are different from autumn, most of them are calves and lambs, and before Li Han came, St. Andrew's Farm did not plan to participate in this spring auction.
The farm pasture is reduced, and the cattle and sheep need to buy a part of the feed, which will increase the cost, and Eric means that he will not participate this year, and wait for the pasture to be better managed. Li Han didn't agree, and he roughly knew the situation in the grassland.
No, early the next morning, Li Han drove his pickup truck and set off for the largest livestock market in the small town of Cotula, which is located near the eastern ranch area. "Eric, there are quite a few people today. ”
The entire parking lot, hundreds of large pickup trucks, not far away, the market area, trucks transporting livestock, parked full. The auction hall is on the side, with sheds, high platforms, and fences.
Walking into the auction hall, the inside is much more lively than the outside, hundreds of people, sitting on the platform, the central high platform, is the auctioneers, the auction platform is the entrance and exit on both sides, the fence is enclosed, the cattle and sheep exit in, the central high platform for everyone to watch, the left hand side of the auction table is a larger fence, at this time, inside, several cows, is auctioning.
'Angus cow?'
Li Han glanced at it. "Is it a cow?"
Eric nodded. "Last year's drought had a big impact, and many farms were selling some cows and calves to reduce costs. ”
"Eric, does St. Andre's Farm have a time signature?" asked Li Han.
"Ah, Mr. Lee, what are you going to do?" said Eric, looking surprised.
"That's right. ”
Li Han said. "St. Andrew's Farm, the cattle pens and the sheepfolds are empty. ”
"However, the situation of our pastures. Eric wanted to tell Lean that the current situation of the farm was not suitable for auctioning cattle and sheep, which would increase the cost.
"I know the farm, do what I say. "Li Han, I can't explain it, the grassland, will be better, even better than before.
"Okay. "Erik, helpless.
On the side of the auction table, there is a registration office. "St. Andrea's Farm?" the registrar, slightly stunned.
"Yes, sir. Eric said.
"Okay. "The registrar, register, takes a portion of the deposit, and the sign is handed to Eric.
"Could it be that the situation at St. Andrew's Farm has changed so badly? "The registrar remembered that last year St. Andrew's Farm sold a large number of calves, and even a large number of cows.
"It's a big farm, it's incredible. The registrar said to his companions.
"Those capitalists don't care about this, they just want to make money, and as for cattle and sheep, maybe for them, it's just food on a plate. Said the companion.
"Sir, it's done. Eric handed the sign to Han Lee.
"Thank you. Li Han smiled and nodded.
The number of cattle and sheep in St. Andre's Farm has been reduced by one-fifth, with less than 300 cattle and less than 500 sheep.
Erik, looking, eager to try, Li Han, a little worried, this new boss, don't do stupid things. Eric has always been a little unoptimistic about Li Han, Chinese, seems to have no talent for experienced farms.
"Ellie Farm?" said Eric, a little surprised to hear the auctioneer on the stage say that the next batch of cattle would come from the farm.
"Ellie Farm, Eric, do you know this farm?" Li Han, listening, said, this batch of cattle has thirty heads.
"yes, Ellie's Farm is a small farm. Erik, said. "However, the Angus cattle on Ellie Farm are the most famous in Kotula. ”
"It's even known as the Elle, and most of the beef is delivered to the Western restaurant in San Antonio, where it has an excellent reputation. Eric said. "Etude Farm rarely sells Elyte cows to the outside world, and it is even rarer to have more than 30 heads. ”
"Really?" Li Han became interested.
Eric nodded. "It seems that the rumors are true, and there is a big problem with the pasture of Ellie Farm. ”
"The price of the Ali Niu should not be cheap, right?" Li Han said. "It's not difficult to buy dried green materials from outside, I think. ”
"Sir, the reason why the meat quality is so good is that the environment in the Allie Farm has something to do with the environment where the Allie Farm is located, and the Allie Cow does not feed the forage, and uses a rare pasture grass grown in the Allie Farm, which is watered with mountain spring water, and the drought may have dried up the mountain spring water. Eric said.
"I see. Li Han said.
"The auction has begun. ”
"Thirty-five thousand. ”
The price is not high, Li Han signaled. "Thirty-eight. ”
"Hey, it's Asian. ”
"That's Eric, from St. Andrew's Farm?"
"That's right, it's really Eric, who is that Asia?"
"I heard that there is an Asian boss at St. Andrew's Farm. ”
"It seems to be true. ”
"Forty thousand dollars. "Gray Grass Farm, out to forty thousand dollars.
These thirty are not very big, at most about 800 pounds, half a large calf. Forty thousand dollars, after all, is not cheap, of course, not expensive.
Li Han estimates that 60,000 US dollars is the peak price, and ordinary beef cattle do not have this price. Forty thousand, Li Han, didn't raise a card, just said hello.
"It seems that these are smart people. A few old cowboys glanced at Li Han.
It's really not bad to appear in this way, the gray grass farmer glanced at Li Han.
"Forty-one thousand dollars. The owner of another ranch shouted.
"That's Sunflower Ranch, and Sunflower Ranch has 1,000 beef cattle and 500 sheep. Eric said. "Less than ten miles from St. Andrew's Farm. ”
"That's our neighbor. Li Han said with a smile.
Eric smiled wryly. "Sir, I have to regret to tell you that this neighbour was not kind to us. ”
Li Han looked puzzled, and Eric explained that it turned out to be his predecessor's problem. "Huh. ”
Then several farms and ranches joined, and the Eddie Cow, it seemed, was really good, and the price quickly went up to $50,000, and then everyone became very cautious about the price increase. Now that the financial crisis has not passed, coupled with several years of drought, everyone cares a lot about the dollar in hand.
"Fifty-three thousand five hundred dollars. "The owner of Sunflower Ranch, Dirk held up a sign.
"Fifty-five thousand dollars. Li Han smiled and held up the sign.
Dirk, paused slightly, looked back, and looked back at Li Han, who nodded at him with a smile on his face, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Erik, wry smile, this new boss, did you listen to yourself just now?
"Fifty-five thousand dollars. ”
"Fifty-five thousand five hundred dollars. Dirk, gritted his teeth.
Lehan suddenly joins, making Dirk and Greygrass Farm Basilton feel a little nervous.
"St. Andrew's Farm, are you really going to shoot some of these cows?" the old cowboys were stunned.
I thought that Li Han came over to say hello, who would have thought, he really planned to take pictures of this group of cows, not to mention that these cowboys were surprised, the youngest daughter of the owner of the Ellie farm, Xiao Aili, also looked at Li Han with a puzzled face.
The situation of St. Andrew's Farm, no one does not know, the largest farm in the town of Bandora, even in the small town of Cotula, St. Andrea's Farm is also the number one farm, St. Andrew's because of the drought, the pasture is degraded, the farmer is bankrupt, and the middle is sold at auction.
St. Ann's Farm was once forgotten by people, and some people even said that St. Ann's Farm will no longer have the glory of the past, but I didn't expect that there would be an auction house today, and they planned to auction these thirty Elle cows.
Little Ellie, I have heard a lot of stories about St. Andrea's Farm, and I regret the fall of this farm with a long history. At this time, Li Han made an auction, and Xiao Aili asked the people around her in a whisper, has the situation of St. Andrew's Farm improved?
"No, the situation at St. Andrew's Farm is worse than before. ”
"A few days ago, termite nests were found in the farm pasture, and the number was alarming. ”
"Termite nest, that meadow?"
"That's right, completely degraded. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Dirk's face became more and more ugly. "This bastard is here for himself. Dirk thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
