Chapter 232: A gathering of small farmers in the small town of Edley

At more than nine o'clock, people arrived one after another, and Jin Yang roughly observed, there were about 100 people, and it seemed that the nearby farmers should have come.

Andriy and Jack greet some people from time to time, it seems that the two of them are quite well-known among these farmers, and many farmers ridicule whether the relationship between the two is reconciled, as if the relationship between them is that the chick eats the firefly and knows it.

Jin Yang didn't want to be in the limelight at this party, but he still got to know the farmer through Jack and the others.

These are basically small ranchers, mostly a few hundred acres, some thousands of acres, and even some small ranches of less than 100 acres, that is, these small ranches are the least resistant to various risks.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this guy to come too, I hope God can bless him. Jack said suddenly, but listening to his gloating tone, he knew that he didn't really bless him, and he probably needed God's blessing himself.

I saw a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old come in at the door.

There's no way, Jin Yang really can't tell the age of these Europeans and Americans so clearly, sometimes you look at a person, it is estimated that he is in his forties, in fact, he is only in his twenties, these people sometimes have mature faces.

This guy had a sad face, and he had a pipe in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and he looked preoccupied.

Before Jinyang could ask, Andri, who was on the side, explained: "This guy's name is Blake, the rancher of the nearby Stony Creek Ranch, he has a weird and tricky personality, he is very difficult to get along with, and everyone hates him.

However, he is also self-aware and generally rarely interacts with others.

This time he may have been forced to have no choice, his ranch is the closest to the oil field......"

Listening to Andri's detailed explanation, Jin Yang slowly understood what was going on. This Blake is a selfish and eccentric guy who offends all the farmers around him.

To take the simplest example, these small farms come to the market every once in a while.

In order not to detour and save time and effort, the grass in this pasture is eaten, and the cattle and sheep are driven to another pasture, so they often borrow other people's pastures, which is called rushing to the field.

But this guy Blake has never been affectionate, he wants to pass through his ranch, but there is no door, and he doesn't agree to such a trivial matter, can he not offend people for a long time?

This time to develop the oil field, his Stony Creek Ranch is the closest to the oil field, once it is exploited, the impact on him is the greatest, not to mention the current drought and water shortage, which is simply worse.

Noise pollution, destruction of vegetation on the surface, air pollution, and so on caused by the exploitation of oil fields are the things that can kill you.

It was rumbling all day long, and the air smelled of oil, so how could you raise cattle? Not to mention raising cattle, you couldn't do anything.

Even if someone exploits the oil field and achieves the greatest control over environmental protection, they will give him some compensation, so what can it be? Compared with his loss, that amount of money is as ridiculous as the clothes of the table.

This time, he came to this party, probably with a glimmer of hope, to see if the rich man could buy his ranch.

Jin Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is a proverb in our hometown, the wicked have their own evil grinding, I can only say, may God bless him." He said this, but he had other thoughts in his heart, but now was not the time.

After a while, Old Ham came to the stage and introduced the drought situation this year, and the situation in Montana and even the whole Great West, not much, but everyone didn't say much.

It wasn't until the oil field was mined that many people's faces became ugly.

"Damn, these vampires deserve hell, they're trying to destroy Edri. Old Ham's words drew a chorus of scolding, and the farmers whose ranches were downstream were even more scolding.

Words such as "bastard, tableword, Shet" are endless.

Before the news was announced, everyone was still lucky, thinking that Old Ham would take into account the situation of the majority, and that he, as the president of the Small Farm Federation, would handle it carefully.

But the reality ruthlessly shattered everyone's illusions, the oil field will still be exploited after all, and the oil field will still be exploited.

Many farmers had no choice but to gather together to think of some countermeasures, hoping to get through the difficulties.

Finding that his words caused public outrage, Old Ham smiled bitterly, and then announced the news that the money from the sale of the oil field would not only be used for the construction of the town, but also a part of it would be used for large-scale artificial rainfall, hoping to alleviate the drought.

Although large-scale artificial rainfall can alleviate the drought, it is only to quench the thirst of doves, because artificial rainfall is always overdrawing future precipitation, which belongs to demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall.

But this is good news for most farmers, because it won't be long before winter arrives, when the temperature drops below freezing, and with the arrival of cold air and cold snaps, precipitation becomes a matter of course, and everyone just needs to get through this period of time.

"God, old Ham, this old guy has finally brought good news, and now my ranch is saved. Jack breathed a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile appeared on his fat face.

Jin Yang took a sip of coffee and said casually: "Congratulations, God is finally on your side." ”

"Haha, thank you, I don't have to worry about running out of sandwiches for breakfast in the future. Jack laughed.

"You old miser, God, how could you let me know such a creature? I don't think even a mouse would want to come near him?" said Andriy in a funny voice, his expression very exaggerated, and with that ugly countenance, it was funny.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I think so, at least I don't have to worry about rats thinking about my paddies. Jack didn't care, his fat face shook and shook, and he gulped down his coffee as if he were desperate to stuff some desserts and snacks into his mouth.

The corners of Jin Yang's mouth twitched, this guy has drunk at least ten cups of coffee from the beginning to the present, and he is not afraid of drinking himself to death, cakes, cookies, and cookies, this guy doesn't know how much he has eaten.

In the morning, he said that he had high blood sugar, is this such a high law? Isn't the purpose of his coming to the party just for these free coffee and snack bars? Jin Yang was deeply suspicious, this is a guy who has taken his stinginess and slamming the door to the extreme.

I guess that's how his fat came from.

The party was quite successful, although everyone was not very satisfied, but finally there was a solution to the problem, and life was still able to go on, and in the end most of them relaxed.

The biggest focus of this party, the investor in the oil field, the mysterious rich man in the east, did not appear, all the news was told by Old Ham, maybe people felt that there was no need to be there in person.

The only person who felt lost and hopeless at the scene was probably Blake, right?

The only person who could have bought his ranch did not appear, and no one else would do this, was there only one way to go bankrupt? Blake looked depressed, lowered his head, and walked out step by step, everyone was far away from him, and no one came up to comfort him.

Poor people must have something to hate!

This is the end of the party, and it can be regarded as making two friends, and it is no longer a black eye in Edley, and the two of them left each other's business cards with Andri and Jack, and then waved goodbye.
