Chapter 217: A Tool for Catching Rats
The anti-flu soup stewed in the spring water, Li Han grabbed Dudu and the baby, and supervised the two little guys to drink up a small bowl of bitter soup, and the two little guys' faces were wrinkled bitterly. "Dut, baby, look at how good Maria is. Maria didn't need Li Han to say that she took a small bowl and drank the soup one by one, and smiled at Li Han.
"Isn't Sister Maria bitter?" Dudu looked at Maria with a bitter face, and Maria shook her little head vigorously. "Fragrant. Li Han tasted it, it was a little bitter, and the fine taste was really a little light and fragrant.
Dudu and the baby pursed their mouths, and drank the remaining soup with bitter faces. "That's good, I'm going to wash my hands and eat. After breakfast, Han called Dinah, and Jem, Hughton, and Doyles came to the farm.
The pearl flower ranch, Li Han put it first, what should be done, and even, Li Han wanted to borrow some more funds to buy the surrounding farms and pastures and expand the scale. "Jem, Hughton, Dorles, there seem to be a lot more farm rats than usual lately. ”
Li Han opened the bag and hunted the mouse yesterday Hughton looked at it and said. "Han, I was about to tell you to buy traps, there are a lot of barn rats. "Yes, I just called Kaidi, and I'll come over in a while, and we'll discuss and see how much to buy, and don't think about the money first." ”
Jem and Dowles were worried that Li Han would be annoyed by the loss of the Pearl Flower Ranch or that he had no intention of running the farm, and they were still worried when they came. "Han, Hughton and I calculated that we would buy about three hundred traps, which is enough. ”
"Cowsheds, sheepfolds, pastures cannot be relaxed. I think there might be a rat plague this time. Li Han checked some information, Montana had a rat plague, and the situation was similar to this year. After the great drought and insect plague, the grassland is seriously degraded.
Doyles' eyes widened at the thought of something. "Han, are you sure about this? You must know that the rat plague is much more serious than the insect plague. "I've looked at a lot of previous years, and I'll have you look at it, and here's a video I shot yesterday. There were more than one hundred and fifty rats in the Guangguang warehouse, not counting the twenty killed. The situation is serious, all I guessed. Maybe a lot of farms and ranches are already ready. Li Han couldn't help but think of Hanton as he spoke, maybe this guy also saw something.
Now Jem and Hughton became nervous, and after the great drought, there was an insect infestation, which rushed to the impact of the rat plague on the pasture. The faces of the three of them turned a little pale. As an old cowboy, after experiencing a rat plague more than 20 years ago, almost more than half of the grassland was degraded, and it took at least one to two years to recover, not everyone can wait, and more than two-thirds of the farms and ranches gave up their own industries. "Han, this matter. We're going to get it done as soon as possible, and there aren't too many rats yet. I'm scared around. ”
Speaking of this, Jem was stunned for a moment, and Li Han said with a wry smile. "You also thought about it, Hanton may have discovered it a long time ago, don't tell the outside world about this matter, I'll solve this matter. Li Han rubbed his forehead, Hanton looked anxious, he saw it at the time, but he didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that not only mad cow disease, swine flu outbreak, but also the U.S. government officially announced that it had found domestic pigs with influenza viruses, and it issued a state of emergency, and the official death toll exceeded 100.
Li Han couldn't figure out how Hanton got this news yesterday, it seems that he thought about it, Hanton probably didn't pay attention to these at all, the most likely is that Hanton found signs of a rat plague, 50,000 acres of ranch wants to be ready, at least a few million, maybe there will be no return, no wonder Li Han lowered the price, Hanton promised so quickly, and it must be settled within a week. "Han, we should find Hanton, it's fraud. ”
"No, Hughton, we don't know about it, and besides, Hanton won't necessarily admit it, and if there is no rat plague that doesn't break out, we have no evidence, even if the lawyer can't fight for it. Li Han shook his head slightly and sighed, it seems that he really lost money this time, and it is not as simple as he imagined to do business. "Okay, Cady arrives, I'm going to pick it up, have a cup of coffee first, it's okay, I don't think the ranch will lose money, trust me, guys. ”
Li Han smiled and patted Hughton and Jem on the shoulders and walked out of the small building. "Hi Kedi, it's been okay lately. "Not bad, Han, you don't look good. Kaidi and Li Han hugged and patted each other on the shoulder.
"Maybe you haven't slept, come in. Li Han didn't sleep long all night, and in the morning, the two little guys woke up, and it was strange that their faces were good-looking. "Help me, this big guy isn't light. "Cady carries a large rat trap cage, which is a meter square.
"Very nice big guy. Li Han carried it and tried it, almost more than fifty pounds, Li Han carried one in one hand, and the two of them carried four and put them on the lawn in the yard, Hughton and Jem, and Dorles stood up and walked over from the terrace.
"Han, what is this?" Douglas had never seen such a huge trap cage, let alone him, it was the first time Hughton and Jem had seen it. "High-pressure rat trap, the latest mousetrap, take a look, this guy's record is that a cage catches more than one hundred and fifty in one night. ”
Kaidi proudly introduced, opened the cage, and pointed to a corner. "There's a vocaciator here, and you'll find a sound that traps mice, and here's a touch indenter that can reach fifteen hundred volts in an instant. ”
The cage can be rotated automatically, and the catch mouse will be put in the cage on the other side, Li Han looked at it, it was really good. "Jem, Hughton, what do you think?" "Great, God, with it, I think the warehouse will be quieter. ”
"yes, I like to be quiet. Jem nodded and said, Li Han nodded slightly. "Kaidi, I need three hundred, not five hundred. "Han, you're sure you need so much, I think ten is enough for the farm. ”
"No, five hundred, Kaidi, I want to get them this year, you know, I need them so badly. "Li Han now has to plan for the worst, five hundred high-pressure mousetraps, only 150,000 US dollars, which is nothing to Li Han, but if Jennifer Ranch and Hank's Farm suffer from rat infestation, the loss will be more than that.
"Han, I need to make a call. "There are not so many goods in Kaidi's store, although they have been selling well recently, but three or five a day are good, and Li Han has five hundred, but all the purchases of Kaidi are ten times that of them. "Cady, I'm sorry for you. ”
Kaidi made a call and said to Li Han. "Han, I've already called, and the manufacturer will deliver directly to Hank Farm, and I've already told them about it. "Thank you, Kaidi, how about staying for a beer at noon?"
Cady licked her lips and shook her head slightly. "There's no one in the store, I have to go back, Han, it's a pity, of course you give me a bottle of beer, I won't refuse." "No problem. Li Han carried a blue and white vase, which contained about three liters of morning dew. "I like the morning dew, Han, Xie Lu Xie, I'll go back first. ”
Kaidi directly contacted the manufacturer and Li Han to trade directly, and completely gave up the intermediate interests, this guy. Li Han escorted Cady off the farm and back to the small building, where Dorles, Hughton, and Jem were fiddling with the high-pressure mousetrap. "Han, this is awesome, we just tried it, and it's good. ”
"First of all, Jem and Hughton, Sara and Lulu are in charge of the pearl flower ranch, the cattle and sheep are in the cowshed first, Cole and Dalles you are in charge of Hank Farm, and as soon as the high-pressure mousetrap arrives in the afternoon, we will start, and I will make a phone call. Li Han ordered to go down, and Jem and Hughton, and Dowles all went to prepare. "By the way, Jem, take advantage of the morning time to buy a few trailers, and buy two pickups, and I've already written the checks. ”
"No problem, Han. Jem took the check and drove the Lee Han pickup truck and set off with Doyles, and Hughton rode his quad bike to arrange the cowshed and sheepfold. "Fortunately, the cowshed was built with mechanization and modernisation in mind. ”
Not more than a thousand cattle raised in the cowshed, cow dung does not need to plan, Zhilu Road cleaning, feed with a feed bucket car, can transport more than ten tons at a time, the ingredient car at a time to ingredient more than one ton, three minutes or so a hundred cattle feed can be prepared, although raised in the cowshed, more expensive to store green feed, fortunately in Hank Farm storage more, and early, green feed enough for three thousand cattle to eat a winter. Li Han summed up, maybe this rat plague is another opportunity.
Li Han himself was not idle, four high-pressure mousetraps moved to the warehouse, toot, baby, Maria called over. "Dudu, baby, Maria, this is dangerous, can't you touch Zhilu Dao. "Hmm. The three little ones nodded obediently, and looked at each other, toot, baby, and Maria had a plastic shovel in her hand. "Let's go play. ”
The three little guys didn't know what to do, and Dudu suddenly thought of something. "Daddy, Daddy, is Uncle Cady here?" "By the way, Uncle Cady brings the muzzle and claw cover, let's go, let's release the big black and big hum." ”
"Uh-huh, big hum to help the toot the ground. Li Han was stunned, what else do you have to do with the mouth cover, Li Han asked and realized that the vegetables were a little old before, and they needed to be cleaned up and sown new grass seeds. Li Han took the three little guys to the back hillside, and Dudu went first to put on a muzzle and a claw cover for the big grizzly bear, first raise it like this, and then take it off after getting acquainted, as for the wild boar, Li Han looked at it, or forget it, the fangs can't be knocked down.
Then there is a big wild boar that seems to be very slippery, a little sycophant and humming, it is estimated that the two wild boars, one big and one small, must be very close. "Dudu, let's give the wild boar some medicine first, don't get sick. "The swine flu prevention and control soup, there is still a small half pot left, and Dudu is all poured into the stomach of the big wild boar, but I didn't expect the big hum to be better than the little hum, and there is no essence to resist drinking. "Not bad, not bad. Li Han patted the boar's head in appreciation, who knew that this big guy was like a pug to Dudu, and he was not so good to Li Han, he snorted a few times, and his eyes were fierce and red.
"Hum be obedient. Dudu patted it, and sure enough, the big wild boar obediently snorted twice and followed Dudu, and even wanted Dudu to ride it, this sycophant pig. Li Han led the envious baby and the timid Maria to follow behind Dudu. (To be continued......)
