Chapter 4 Simmental Cattle
The Australian miniature donkey stared at its cute eyes and looked at Baby Han.
The donkey is very clean, its coat is brownish-gray, its mouth and round belly are beige, and there is a small golden bell hanging under its neck, which rings when it walks.
The long ears were erected high, as if he was uneasy by the crowd, and quietly hid beside Han Baobao.
He turned his head sideways and smelled the comfortable smell emanating from this human before he was relieved.
Han Xuan had already been cute by it, and the passers-by around him had the same expression. One of the passers-by was still curious, and asked in a low voice, "What is this? Is Farabella a miniature horse? It's so cute." ”
The companion B next to him looked at him with idiot eyes, and slowly spoke: "Have you ever seen a horse with such long ears? ”
The Australian miniature donkey was not as famous in the nineties as it was in later generations, but the Farabella miniature horse, which resembled him, was widely known in the Americas. With their ultra-small body and cute appearance, they quickly become precious pets.
Some people have raised horses all their lives but have never seen such a small one, and when they look closely, they find that oh, it turns out to be a donkey.
The habit of watching the excitement is not unique to China, these foreigners also surrounded the street three times inside and outside, and the little fat donkey was a little frightened, and tried to shrink his whole body behind Han Xuan.
It's just that I didn't think that Han Baobao was also a small figure, and he was not much older than the misty donkey. Wood has something to do and wood problems, as long as you can cover your eyes! Didn't you see those ostriches do the same when they were in their hometown in Australia!
Han Baobao turned around and reached out to touch the little fat donkey's head, the long hair was very soft. Curious, he turned his head around to find its owner. Give it back to him? Don't be kidding, you must buy such cute goods and take them home to keep for yourself!
Besides, this is a market in the first place, and if you don't want to sell it, the owner won't bring it here.
If you think about it, almost all of the tall American horses on your ranch are tall American horses, and there are even bigger quart horses, and at your own rate of development, you won't be able to think about riding horses in ten years.
Han Baobao lowered his head and smiled, isn't this a horse?
The little fat donkey seemed to notice something, his body stiffened, and he only heard the boy's voice in his ear: "Fatten up more, just ......"
Not far away, the patrol officer thought that there was some kind of fighting, so he hurriedly rode over, squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, and found the child and the little donkey at a glance.
So he waved his hand to drive away the crowd: "Okay, okay, let's all disperse! ”
Everyone looked at the patrol officer meaningfully, and scattered in twos and threes to do their own things.
The Internet has just emerged, and life is far less colorful than in later generations, and a little gossip and anecdotes will become people's after-dinner conversations, let alone such cute little animals.
At this moment, a black man shouted to the patrol officer from afar, "Sir, have you seen a little donkey?"
"Donkey?"
The patrol finally knew what those people's eyes meant, his face turned slightly red, and he looked at the black young man unhappily and said, "It's here!
If the time had been postponed by 20 years, this policeman would definitely not have dared to speak to him like this, otherwise a racist hat would be buttoned down, and no one would be able to eat and walk around. It's just that it's still 90 years old, and the black guy is obviously not very happy, and he endures the annoyance, and nods his head to indicate that he heard it.
The patrolman stepped into the police car and left without looking back.
The black guy hurriedly came to the miniature donkey, and despite its resistance, he held its big head in his arms, and spat out a large number of words like a machine gun: "Big baby, you really make me die." ”
As if remembering something again, he looked up at the direction where the patrol officer disappeared, and spat on it, only then did he find the little boy next to him.
I have to say that the baby is really cute, and he is the same as the Chinese, he is a vulnerable group here, the black guy relaxed his demeanor, and said to the little boy: "I'm sorry, my uncle is going to take the little donkey back, little friend, do you have anything else?"
"Yes sir, can I buy this miniature donkey?" Han Xuan began.
The black guy rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid you can't afford this little guy yet, you have to wait for you to make money, or ask your family to agree." $5000, as long as $5000 you can take it. ”
At this time, his eyes were obviously looking at Han Qianshan, a middle-aged Chinese and a Chinese child were together, and an idiot could think that there was a relationship between them.
Han Baobao was happy in his heart, as long as he was willing to sell, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at the black guy sadly: "But my dad only has 2,000 US dollars, uncle, I really want this little donkey." ”
"Heh, this stinky boy. ”
Father Han looked at his son in surprise, and after thinking about it, he understood.
didn't interject, cooperated with his son to instantly show a sad expression, nodded, and said in his mouth: "It's okay if we don't buy it, Dad can't afford it, but Dad will work hard to make money, and he will definitely buy it for you in the future." ”
Han Xuan said coquettishly: "Don't want it later, I want this." ”
After speaking, the circles under his eyes were a little red, as if as long as his father said not to buy it, he would cry immediately, what a father-son drama.
The black guy was suddenly embarrassed, not to mention 5,000, for most Americans today, the deposit is not even $2,000, and these Chinese like to save money and like to spend cash.
This is a rare big business, anyway, the little donkey was smuggled over, and it didn't cost much money.
Thinking of this, he pretended to weigh it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "3000! You can take it for only 3000 dollars!"
"Uncle, but we only have so much money, can't we?"
After speaking, Han Xuan walked to Han's father's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and turned around three times in one step, with a reluctant face.
The black boy was immediately anxious, and hurriedly said, "Okay, little guy, it's only 2,000 yuan, but I want cash!"
Han Qianshan was addicted to acting, pretending to be very embarrassed, the young man was really jumping, Han Xuan hurriedly pulled the corner of his father's clothes, and continued to be coquettish: Good daddy, you can buy it, I promise that I will be obedient at home in the future~"
Father Han looked down at his son's little face and said with a smile: "Really, baby?"
"En!" Han Xuan nodded quickly, secretly slandering himself for being an unscrupulous father.
"Okay. ”
Old Barton handed a stack of Franklin to Han Xuan at the right time, no more, no less, exactly 2000, but he had already counted and prepared on the side, in the eyes of the old cowboy, the little young master was very smart.
Han Xuan handed the banknote to the young man casually, and when he finished ordering, he hugged the little fat donkey with both hands, and said cutely: "Can I go, uncle?"
"Yes. ”
"Hey, which poor family spends 2,000 dollars to buy a pet for their child, and who is the old man who gives money?"
It took a long time for the young man to react, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and vomit three liters of blood, and he couldn't stop muttering: "It turned out to be a rich man, money... Boy, you..."
Not far away.
"Haha, young master, you are really amazing! you saved three thousand dollars!" Old Barton smiled, his big nose shaking, obviously very excited. The United States basically sells whatever price it wants, and even if it can be cheaper, it will only drop by a small part, and it will be cut by more than half as it is now.
It's not that there is a lack of money, the most important thing is to have fun, it's really interesting Chinese.
Old Barton thought to himself, wondering if he would try it someday.
En still lacks a grandson to cooperate, and the old cowboy subconsciously looks at his side.
Han's father held the baby, the baby led the donkey, and the little bell rang non-stop along the way, and the sound was very crisp.
The bazaar is open-air.
The ranchers sat reservedly by their fences, not soliciting customers at all.
Occasionally, someone stepped forward to ask, and only then did he answer a few words.
The Angus cattle are a little small compared to other cattle, and the selling price is much lower, so at the suggestion of Barton Sr. and John, Han Qianshan plans to raise some other breeds this time, such as the beautiful Simmental cattle in front of him.
Simmental cattle, also known as safflower cattle, is a breed of cattle native to Switzerland, with white and yellow spots on its body, which can not only be used as a food cattle, but also can produce up to four tons of milk per year, and adult cattle weigh 1,200 kilograms, and the meat quality is also very good.
The rancher had two mustaches, crooked upwards, and dressed not like an American, but with a bit of a British style.
He was very enthusiastic and intelligent, and when he saw someone approaching, he said in a voice with a strong London accent: "What a lovely child! And this lovely Australian donkey, which I have seen for the first time in all my time in the United States." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. ”
"You're sensible. ”
Only then did the boss stretch out his hand to Han Qianshan: "My name is Albert, hello sir, do you need to buy cattle?"
Han Qianshan also politely stretched out his hand.
"Call me Han, yes, we need a batch of Simmental cows of half size, they seem to be really well raised, and the experienced Mr. Barton has taken a fancy to them at a glance, how many of these calves do you have?"
Albert immediately knew that big business was coming, shook hands with old Barton and praised: "You really have a vision, the calves in my ranch are the best!"
After saying that, he continued: "Excuse me, sir, how many cows do you need for your ranch? I can only provide about 500 for the time being, if it is not enough, give me two days to raise more calves." Rest assured, the price will be fair! We British people never lie when we do business. ”
"Whoever believes is stupid. ”
Han Qianshan shook his head undeniably: "I won't know until I go to your farm to see it, I may need about 1,300 Angus cattle." ”
Albert was really happy, he didn't expect to encounter such a big deal just after the opening, and quickly nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I'll call my two neighbors, so that the total number is enough for you to choose the calves you are satisfied with, please wait a few minutes, and I will be back soon!"
After saying that, he trotted out without looking back, and it didn't take long for him to take two white ranchers and drive to their ranch.
The calves in Albert's ranch were indeed well raised, and Old Barton and John picked out the unhealthy calves one by one, and did not finish until it was completely dark.
The contract was signed with the help of a lawyer and a check for $200,000 was left as a deposit.
Euphemistically rejecting Albert's offer to let them stay for dinner, the Ford pickup truck on the trail drove along the same road with its yellowed headlights in the direction of the snowy mountain pasture.
The little chubby donkey lies on its side and sleeps in the back seat.
Han Xuan rested his head on its stomach and dozed off as well, and soon he really fell asleep.
Outside the car window, the sky is covered with stars, and a faint piece of emerald green can be seen.
