The river flows through the low hills, and the pastures are fertile in the summer.

Pudding was short, and when he climbed onto the roof platform, he could see the whole ranch in full, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Herds of Charolais sheep are mixed with black-faced and white-bodied Dubers, while cattle are divided into black and white cows and beef cattle, with the main breeds being St. Grudy and Black Angus.

The cloudy and rainy weather in the UK has made the pastures fertile, with three to four cows in one acre (about 6.05 acres), but the pastures are obviously not fully stocked, there are not so many cattle and sheep, and there are deer and alpacas mixed in, and many tourists are visiting on horseback.

The silhouette of London's high-rise buildings can be seen in the distance, and the people of the city like the laid-back life of the ranch, which seems to be doing a good job in the tourism industry, and hundreds of people come to visit it today.

A little less clean and more lively, the old castle at its feet belonged to private territory, and visitors were stopped outside the iron railings covered with patterns.

It's hard for Du Yu to imagine that such a wonderful pasture actually belongs to him?

Pudding squatted on the outer wall of the balcony, with a moss-covered spire beside him, showing its ancient history, and in the distance there was a chapel with a cross high on the roof, to which the ownership of the land should be given to the church in the future, according to the will of Mrs. Ross Sr.

Fifty years is too long, Du Yu feels that it is almost impossible for him to live to that time, this body is a cat after all, and if he lives for about twenty years, he is still waiting to become a human again, and he has never thought about the future.

The beautiful green countryside in front of him felt new to him, a young man who had been working in the city for a long time, and next to Pudding, Katie was chatting with an old cowboy named Jean Bruce.

Mr. Bruce dressed as a herdsman, wearing waterproof boots on his feet, a red short-sleeved shirt smelling of sweat, and a gray beard on the side of his mouth, said with a smile: "I knew that Mrs. Ross loved this cat very much, and she brought this cat here once last year when she was still active, and it was not so fat at that time." ”

"I didn't expect Mrs. Ross to leave her inheritance to her, but that's a good thing, at least we don't have to worry about being fired by the cat.

Now we don't have a lot of work, machines replace a lot of workers, from feeding to milking, all by machines, this was not the case when I was younger, but recently cows have even installed chips on their ears to record all the major events from birth to slaughter, such as illness, what drugs have been injected, and so on. ”

Having never dealt with cowboys, Katie only understands that she is responsible for the interests of the pudding because she is paid.

Now he is still a student, but he pretended to have a calm and mature expression, and said: "Mr. Bruce, I heard that you are the director of this ranch, although Pudding has become the owner of the ranch and cannot supervise you, but if anyone is lazy and makes mistakes, the punishment should still be unavoidable, we have a team dedicated to Pudding, you should understand what I mean, right?"

It can be regarded as a knocking threat, and Du Yu is extremely satisfied with it.

In the past, he was a working boy, and it was rare to experience what it was like to be a boss, but unfortunately he could only be happy in his mind, which was already quite good.

Mr. Bruce hasn't figured out Katie's identity yet, and may have accompanied his "boss", that is, this fat cat, to arrive, believing that he should have some power, shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course, Elk Ranch including me, a total of fifty-four employees, each with their own work, David and Orlando have already come to review twice, they will work as hard as before, look outside, how beautiful." ”

Katie looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was really good.

It was more beautiful than she had imagined before she arrived, especially the sea of sunflowers, and she had the urge to take pictures.

Since the two of the Pudding Trust Company would be staring, Katie felt that there was no need to be evildoers, so she nodded and changed the subject: "I heard from the taxi driver, there is a zoo here?"

"That's right, just in the woods to the east, the only three pandas in the UK that are not part of the official organization are all with us!"

Bruce Cowboy Sr. continued: "It's a pity that raising those animals costs too much, only the summer zoo and ranch have a better tourism business, and all the income is used to support the animals' daily expenses, and there is a management team of nine people who are dedicated to the care of the animals, and the wages alone are more than 600,000 pounds.

I once suggested that the animals be sent to London Zoo, but Mrs. Ross Sr. disagreed, for her husband was very fond of the pandas. London Zoo is very big, much bigger than us, no one wants to come to visit them, and the tourists below, mainly to experience the ranch life, many people don't spend a dime, so they bring a tent and food for the holiday. ”

“…… Panda?"

Du Yu was a little confused, he thought he was the cutest animal in the elk ranch, but compared with the pandas, this fat cat was ashamed of himself.

Katie was not surprised to learn from the taxi driver that the zoo was in decline, but she was more concerned about another thing, asking, "Pandas that don't belong to the official state?"

Old Bruce Cowboy smiled and replied, "If you know the history of their ancestors, you will understand what happened."

The zoo existed in 1911 when there were only two pandas, brought back from China by a rear admiral, and the castle once belonged to him, and the whole of London was a sensation! Some people were even willing to pay 5,000 pounds to buy one of them as a pet, and 5,000 pounds was very, very valuable at that time!"

Katie became interested, "And then?"

"A male panda and a female panda are still cubs, and because they made a lot of money in India and China, they didn't agree to sell them in the end, and even King George V came to visit.

In the sixties their family was in decline, and the castle and the zoo were bought by Mr. Rose, and I was a few years old at the time, and I remember that they sent someone to renovate the castle, and that Mrs. Rose Sr. was so beautiful at the time, and secretly liked her for a long time. ”

Thinking of the absurdity of his youth, the old Bruce Cowboy looked nostalgic, and then sighed and shook his head, and in a blink of an eye, all these years passed, and the old lady Ross had been buried in the earth.

Katie wanted to be comforted, but didn't know how to speak. Du Yu was also fascinated by it, thinking in his mind that since it was his own private panda, it should be worth a lot of money.

Other zoos spend hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to keep pandas, and he thinks it doesn't matter, but now he is spending his own money!

I thought it would be nice if I sold two of them and left one as a pet......
