687 Floods
The truffle auction was also a success, with a total of $34.75 million, 10 million more than the previous $26.28 million.
Although the number of truffles in this auction is a little higher than last time, the price of individual truffles has also increased.
The quality of the truffles here is certified, and it has become a brand of truffles in fine dining restaurants. Then there is the willfulness of the truffle market month, and being able to eat fresh truffles at this time is already a beautiful thing.
And this year, Liu Heming will expand the production of these truffles, and now there is only one greenhouse planting truffles, and the production will be expanded to three greenhouses.
In the past, I was worried that there would be too many truffles and it would not be easy to sell, but now I don't worry about it at all. After this auction, the truffles, just like the giant morels this time, some people just sold them.
And another difference this time is the emergence of international buyers. There are more than a dozen customers who leave addresses that are not in the United States, which is enough to prove that these truffles have really become popular products. Compared with such a huge truffle market, the truffle production on his side can only make a small wave.
The baby's English name has finally been decided, Koos. It's a very mouth-wrenching name, but it's Victor's grandfather who has carefully chosen it for the baby, whether he wants it or not, he has to use it.
At the beginning, Liu Heming didn't know that the name of the mouthpiece still had a meaning. It is the name of the god of governance in Greek mythology, although there are not many myths about him, and the blessings of Victor and Margaret are also contained in it.
The Chinese name Liu Zhaoxiang, the grandfather in charge, also came up and was called Liu Xiuqi. It's easy to understand, I just hope that the little guy will be able to cultivate himself and build a family in the future, as for the governance of the country and the peace of the world in the future, no one wants the little guy to engage in such a job when he grows up.
The family's money is not worried, the little one can grow up happily and live a happy life. What are you doing with so much leisure, but no one wants him to have to do some earth-shattering "big things" in the future, it's too tiring.
As for the little guy's milk name, Liu Heming originally planned to handle this matter personally, but it was taken over by his daughter.
The little ones also love to take care of their younger brothers, and they used to like to take care of the babies of the little animals. It's just that when the baby changed the diaper once, the baby was very uncooperative, and was called "noisy" by Alex.
Liu Heming thought about it, this stinky boy is usually quite noisy, and the name of the girl is not bad.
It's just that Alex became addicted to the name, and two days later he called the little guy "stinky". Or because when he changed the little guy's diaper, the stench he pulled was smoked by Alex, so he had another name.
It's noisy, smelly, and called by the little guy in turn. At the beginning, Liu Heming still felt that the name stinky was not good, but after being called by his daughter too much, he followed suit.
Suzanne and Liu Yi are still preparing for the investment promotion conference in Xiangshui Town, and Liu Heming has been working hard to exercise the small troublesome plan to get out of the tail in the past few days. You have to take your child abroad to play, no, you can't bring those animals, you have to let him adapt to the days without tails.
It didn't go well at the beginning, this stinky boy was very healthy, his cry was loud, and he really had the posture of covering mountains and rivers.
In fact, Sasha felt that it might be a little troublesome and felt deceived, because Liu Heming thought of a trick. Bought some animal toys with tails and put them next to the little fussy bed to fool him.
Don't look at the fact that people have just been full moon, and they are also discerning people, you fool us with fakes, can this work? Definitely not, then what else to say, protest.
In the past few days of training, Liu Heming has made a big deal. even attracted Su Rong's suppression, and she was distressed and made a little trouble. And the turning point of things is still with Alex.
When she cried again, Alex sat down on the edge of the little bed and grabbed the little one's hand. Alex's little hands are not big, but he grabbed it just right. And then the little fuss is gone, it's so magical.
Alex was so proud that his little chin was about to rise to the sky.
This is a situation that has not been discovered before, and the only explanation that Liu Heming can think of, that is, the daughter and son have been taken care of by the system, so the sisters and brothers are of the same heart.
Don't look at yourself as a father, you have the greatest authority in the system, that's for nothing, and you can be regarded as an outsider.
This problem, which had plagued Liu Heming for several days, was solved, and his mood was much more relaxed. However, this good mood did not last long, and it was disturbed by the floods in Montana.
Although Xiangshui Town was similar to what he expected, the rainstorm dropped by one level every day, and when it actually fell, it turned into a light rain.
But when it comes to water, it doesn't depend on how much rain you have here. There is not much rain here in Xiangshui Town, but the water level of the Missouri River, the main river upstream of the Xiangshui River, has been washed away by floodwaters due to the continuous precipitation.
And this year's situation is a little more special, the situation is a bit extreme.
There will also be cold air in the mountainous regions of Montana, and there will be a round of heavy snowfall. When this round of snowfall is over, the melted snow will also collect into the Missouri River to contribute to the flooding.
Originally, Liu Heming planned to let Chris's construction team dig slowly, but he felt that this was a good time to store water for free. So even if it was still raining lightly, he also transferred the idle excavators on the rest of the construction site to let everyone join the ranks of digging pits.
"Don't worry, Chris, I'll guarantee your profits. Liu Heming, who was wearing a raincoat, said comfortingly after finding Chris.
"Dexter, I understand. Chris smiled and nodded.
"Now I also want to see that when the flood comes, it will be great to fill up the lakes and rivers that we have dug up. Perhaps the town of Xiangshui will be the only area in Montana that has not been affected by flooding. ”
"Looking at the current situation, the flood is not very big, people just need to move to higher places. However, crops in some areas will definitely be affected this year. George, who rushed over, said.
"The last time there was a flood was in 2011, and the impact was also significant. Looking at the situation this year, it is obviously much bigger than the last flood. ”
"Hey, it cost more than $200,000 to dig up this time, and I don't know if this water can make up for my deficit after it comes. Liu Heming sighed.
"Dexter, I think it should be fine. In the past few days, everyone has been resting and the construction progress has been accelerated a lot. Chris said.
"The main lake area of the ranch can definitely be excavated, but the only trouble is that the excavated earth does not have time to fill in the low-lying areas of the pasture, and needs to be slowly reclaimed later. ”
"But the animals around Xiangshui Town are lucky, and this flood won't affect them much. Otherwise, I am afraid that many animals will drown. ”
"These guys are clever enough to hide in my ranch when it rained. Now I eat and drink a lot every day, which has increased my expenses a bit. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.
"I don't know if if the flood was any bigger and the other animals would be washed over here. It's as if they themselves can send messages to each other and inform other friends to come to me for refuge. ”
"Haha, Dexter, I think the more the merrier. Anyway, you're going to be a zoo here, and even if the animals are denser, you can take care of them. George laughed.
Liu Heming glanced at him helplessly, taking care of these animals, but it's all money.
George, he's really happy. Because the current Xiangshui Town is not far from the Xiangshui Town he expected in his heart. Even if the high-rise buildings in the town are not yet in use, even if there are not many residents in the town now.
But what was Xiangshui like in the past? At that time, not to mention people, there weren't even many animals. When has there ever been such a "beast voice" as now?
The increase in the number of animals in the Xiangshui Town area means that the growing environment here is slowly improving. Don't look at the intelligence of animals, but their instincts are very strong.
"Alex, don't run around lately. At this time, Liu Heming shouted to Alex, who was also wearing a small raincoat and small boots.
The little one loves to play in the water, and this kind of rainy day is her favorite. The rain wasn't that heavy, and it didn't affect people's play at all.
Hearing Liu Heming's shout, the little guy ran all the way to the puddle, and the smile on his little face was very big.
"You, you're getting naughty and naughty, wipe the rain off your face first. Waiting for the little guy to run in front of him, Liu Heming said helplessly.
"Dad, there are a lot of little animals coming to play in the house. The little guy said happily.
"No matter how much it is, you can't play with them when it's raining, that's what you promised Daddy. Alex is a good boy and promised his dad that he would do it. Liu Heming said seriously.
The little guy nodded vigorously, "I just went to see them, I didn't play with them." ”
"You little guy can take advantage of the loopholes. Did my brother make trouble today?" asked Liu Heming, looking at the little guy.
The little guy shook his head, "My brother is very well-behaved today, and he is playing with Wukong." ”
"Alex is really cute, can Grandpa George eat Alex's food today?" asked George, looking at the little one.
"Yes, but Alex doesn't know what to do. The little guy frowned.
That serious little look made George amused.
In the past, I used to eat food made by the little guys, and it was because the little ones were cute, even if the food tasted bad. But now Alex has obtained Liu Heming's "true biography", and the taste of the dishes is not bad at all.
