Chen Mo brought the vegetables he bought back to the kitchen, and heard the familiar barking of the two dogs from a distance.

Ah Huang and Ah Hua?

Chen Mo put down his things and was about to go out, when the door of the living room was kicked open by Ah Hua with a 'bang', and this guy ran in with an unhappy face and shouted at Chen Mo.

"Wangwang......" is a long list of calls, and I don't know what it is expressing.

Chen Mo smiled and wanted to touch its dog's head, but it jumped away with an unhappy face, staring at the sky pig arched its nose, very arrogant.

"Wang, Wang. Ah Huang ran in, ran around Chen Mo twice excitedly, and came to Chen Mo to touch and hug.

"Hahaha...... Or you're the most well-behaved. Chen Mo hugged Ah Huang's head with one hand and touched its back hair with the other. Ah Hua, who was very dissatisfied, also approached, and her head went to Chen Mo's arms.

"Good ...... Oh, hey, don't lick me...... Damn, don't lick my face......"

'Bang bang', there was a knock on the door, and a smiling Stephen poked his head in: "Can I come in?"

"Oh my God, how did you get here. Chen Mo got up from the ground with a smile and hugged Stephen. Stephen is followed by Angela and his assistants, as well as Hawke, Conwlew, and others.

"I've taken care of my work in Napa and came over for a vacation. Stephen patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.

Stephen was actually worried that Chen Mo would not be able to handle the affairs of the ranch, so he came over to see if he could help.

"You may be seated. Chen Mo invited everyone in and went to the refrigerator to get mineral water.

The two dogs circled around Chen Mo, and Chen Mo patted their heads from time to time.

"Boss, I have a plan for the future of the ranch. Hawke took out a plan and handed it to Chen Mo.

"I've read this plan, and it's very good. Stephen said.

Chen Mo nodded: "I'll see later." Have you all settled down?" Chen Mo arranged for Hawke to live in a separate main house, and Conlaite and them lived in the other house.

"It's all settled. Hawk said.

Chen Mo opened the plan and read it.

Most of the pasture is an arid semi-desert environment, with only green grass growing in the winter and turning into an arid desert in the summer.

Hawke's plan calls for at least 2,000 acres of 'new oases' — irrigation systems, digging reservoirs, and pumping stations to divert water from the Kutch River for irrigation.

Northern California has enough annual rainfall and ponds to create a new ecosystem. The investment is about four million.

In addition, it will cost about three million to build a few more cattle sheds and purchase tractors and other machinery and equipment.

Re-planning the fence and so on.

Hawker serves as the farm manager (CEO), and other departments include the Ministry of Health (including veterinarians, cleaners, etc.), the technical department (responsible for the management of each herd, ingredients, breeding, etc.), data clerks, accountants, etc.

Integrated pastures, which are not only grazing, but also open up farm areas.

The land area of the pastures is large enough, and the plains are fertile for growing pastures, corn, beans, and so on...... For the whole plan, the farm needs about 30 employees. It is planned to raise 3,000 beef cattle and 4,000 goats......

Finally, pollution treatment, that is, the production of cow dung and sheep manure into organic fertilizer, which can be applied for subsidies from the government.

The total planned investment in the new ranch is $11 million. Of course, it is not a one-time outcome, and the whole program is carried out over two years.

"Okay, just follow the plan of the plan, whether there is a pen or not, I will sign. Chen Mo said.

Hawke took out a pen and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo signed it: "You can be responsible for the recruitment......

"My assistant Edward, he has wanted to change jobs for a long time, why don't you come to you as an accountant, with a monthly salary of five thousand. Stephen drank his water and whispered.

"Okay. It couldn't be better for professional people to do professional things. Chen Mo understood what Stephen meant, he couldn't stay in the ranch all the time, mainly in Napa, the ranch didn't have a loyal and reliable person, and there were too many places to do it for accounting problems.

Hawke didn't mind either: "Mr. Howard is welcome to the ranch. ”

Howard smiled and shook Hawke's hand: "Happy cooperation. ”

After the matter was discussed, Stephen got up and said, "Let's go, go out and ride a horse." ”

"I don't know how to ride a horse. ”

"You're a rancher, you can't ride a horse and you'll be laughed at. ”

The stables also housed a dozen horses, crossbreeds, and five quartes.

There are both saddles and whips, and White helped Chen Mo choose a docile quart horse: "Its name is Wenlai, one of my favorite horses, riding it to graze always gives people a sense of safety." ”

Jujube red horses, very large.

With White's help, Chen Mo rode up......

Chen Mo was very nervous when he rode a horse for the first time, and with the help of White, Chen Mo slowly relaxed and rode a gallop.

In the evening, Chen Mo asked White to kill two sheep and hold a barbecue dinner.

For those who work on the ranch, the barbecue is usually not unpleasant. A large group gathered around the two fires, eating and chatting......

……

The next day, the sky was hazy.

Stephen came over to say goodbye and leave, leaving Huo Dehua to help Chen Mo manage the accounts.

Hawke also got up early, and talked about contacting the construction company and recruiting workers, Chen Mo asked Howard to discuss with him, drove the pickup truck out by himself, and took Ah Huang and Ah Hua to walk around the pasture, looking for a good place to plant grass seeds.

In the withered yellow earth, Chen Mo followed his memory to find several ponds he saw on the map, only two ponds still had water, and the others were all dried up.

Both of these reservoirs are somewhat larger than a football field. The grass around is knee-high, and it is about seven or eight miles away from where I live, and grazing rarely comes here.

Chen Mo parked the car on the hillside, put down Ah Huang and Ah Hua, and the two dogs got out of the car and barked at the grass, and then there was a sound in the grass, and several frightened bobtail deer rushed out and fled frantically.

"Wild deer?"

The Granson Ranch has a hunting license, and it's no surprise that wildlife lives there.

Chen Mo came out mainly to take a look at the terrain and land of the pasture. These are not famous on the map......

The hills are hard, gravelly soils with hard rocks and gravel patches in patches. Thorny bushes, thorns, clumps of weeds. Further north, Chen Mo saw a wooden stake inserted in the ground, about six or seven meters apart, which was rusted around the barbed wire, and there were many fallen wooden stakes. On one of the stakes was a worn wooden sign that read: Private Domain, No Entry.

But the same pasture in no man's land, with or without stakes, is estimated to be the same.

On the way back, Chen Mo made a big circle, saw a few bobtail deer, and found a few foxes. The big dirty fox with two little foxes fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.

8,000 acres is a big one, but it's actually 32 square kilometers, and it doesn't take long to drive around.

Back at the ranch work area, Kanglaite and they repaired the machine outside the warehouse, Chen Mo went back to the house directly, made something to eat and then went into the space......
