Chapter 22: The Poor Sheep
Not long after, Lu Zhu drove the jeep to a narrow path, Tang Wen felt his body swaying, he grabbed the handrail and said, "Is this really the way to the ranch?"
Lu Zhu smiled awkwardly and said: "My funds are limited, the location of the ranch I bought is not very good, the grass here is average, I didn't find anyone to plant, the milk yield of the cows is very low, and the quality of the wool is not very good, so I finally gave up here." ”
Tang Wen smiled, remembering the troubles when he was a child: "When I was in elementary school, I thought that cows were all female, and it took many years to know that cows were divided into male and female. ”
Lu Zhujiao laughed, turned the jeep to a clearing, and pointed to the bare grass not far away, "This is it." ”
There was a fence around the pasture, and the two of them went through the main gate to enter, Tang Wen looked at the sparse grass on the ground and grinned: "I really doubt that they have starved to death." ”
Lu Zhu shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the depths of the ranch with Tang Wen, and a few minutes later, when Tang Wen saw the cattle and sheep in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Oh my God, are these long-haired sheep?"
Lu Zhu was also a little dumbfounded, when she just bought these sheep and drove them to the pasture, from a distance she saw a group of white sheep with small ears was very cute, and the soft hair on her body seemed to be scalded and very short, but now, a group of sheep mixed with the cows could hardly tell which was a sheep and which was a cow!
"It's been too long since anyone sheared wool. ”
Green beads held their foreheads with one hand, and they couldn't bear to look at them directly.
The white wool had turned black and yellow, and I didn't know if the sticky dirt or something hung down on it, it looked thick and heavy, and the small face of the inverted triangle was covered with a large mass of wool, and the ears were long gone, and it looked like a black and white cow from a distance.
"Aren't there still workers in the ranch?" Tang Wen said with a wry smile.
"There are only two people left, I won't always come, they must be lazy. Midori pursed her lips.
Tang Wen spread his hands and said helplessly: "Tomorrow, I'll find some workers to clean them up first, I don't know much about cows, and let Xiaobai or Charlie negotiate the price with you when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Tang Wen was about to buy these poor cattle and sheep, Lu Zhu became happy again, and said: "There are two alpacas among them, I spent a lot of money at that time, but now I can't see which two they are, I still have some tools for pasture here, as well as electric wool shears, and I will give them to you when the time comes." ”
Lu Zhu finally took these cattle and sheep out, and happily took Tang Wen to find the alpacas in the flock for a while, but the smell in the flock was really pungent, and the two of them endured it for a while, and they returned in vain.
Back in the car, Midori asked, "How is the little blue cat?"
"It's good, but I can't cure him right now, by the way, do you know this person Rogge? Yesterday he came to my ranch and threatened me to take Lan Ling away. Tang Wen said.
"Rogge?!"
Lu Zhu's face changed slightly when he heard such a name, and Tang Wen saw Lu Zhu's appearance and said, "He has asked you for trouble?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhu looked around with some concern and said: "That guy has also been to Pansi Cave, he looks very powerful, many monsters are afraid of him, and he has always wanted to keep me as his pet." ”
Tang Wen was surprised: "What?!Then you have nothing to do now." ”
Lu Zhu shook his head and said, "Rogge seems to be at a breakthrough point, and he is much more low-key, I don't have any trouble for the time being, but if he breaks through, I think he will come to arrest me." ”
Tang Wen frowned, and asked again: "Lan Ling, is that little blue cat, was it injured by Rogge?"
"It's not Rogge, it's a fox under his command, that fox is very greedy, when he saw me in Pansi Cave, he originally wanted to eat me, but he was stopped by the blue cat, and then Miss Bai came to help me, and the fox never came again. ”
"Fox!"
The monster Tang Wen saw for the first time was a fox, thinking of the deep pupils that night, Tang Wen gritted his teeth and said: "What a group of hateful guys, my strength is still too weak now, I still have to complete the task as soon as possible." ”
"Mission, what mission?" said Midorizu, curious.
"I need hundreds of tons of sea sand, but there isn't that much sea sand near Dunedin, do you know where to buy it?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhu thought for a while and said, "I have never bought sea sand, but my father has contacted some companies on the North Island, so I asked him to find a way to help you get in touch." ”
"Okay. ”
The two drove back to the city, and Lu Zhu saw that it was not early and the bar was still ready to open at night, so he separated from Tang Wen.
Tang Wen found Bugatti and drove back to the manor.
Xiao Bai turned back to his original form at the gate and returned to the mission area to recuperate, Tang Wen walked in alone, and saw that the lawns on both sides of the gate were obviously much more tidy, and the flower pond on the other side was also loosened, as if new seeds had been buried.
"Whoa!"
The fountain had already begun to work, and a huge stream of water came out from the middle and scattered to fall on both sides, and there were several small water columns around it, Tang Wen smiled and walked all the way, feeling that there was a lot of life in the manor.
"Third brother!"
Charlie wore a hat and a sack on his shoulder, and his face was gray and unrecognizable, which reminded Tang Wen of those poor sheep.
"Charlie, thank you for your hard work. Tang Wen walked over and saw several workers in gray coats coming over in the distance, and he said, "You are taking care of the ranch?"
"Yes, these are newly bought grass seeds, a lot of grass has been cut in the pasture, third brother, there is still a shortage of some farm vehicles in the manor. ”
"We'll buy it tomorrow. Tang Wen patted Charlie on the shoulder and asked again: "Have you found a long-term job? Find a few more people to help, you don't have to work so hard." ”
"There are quite a few people who want to come to Penglai Manor to do long-term work, but I only selected three people for the time being. ”
Charlie handed the grass to another worker, wiped his sweat and said, "Two women, a man, one is an accounting major, who can be responsible for some expenses, and the other two are good at management, and they are both in the ranch now." ”
Tang Wen nodded, looked at the surrounding buildings and said, "Just let that accounting major help me calculate how much it will cost to repair these buildings, Xiaobai said that except for that ancient castle, the rest of the buildings need to be repaired, it's really hell." ”
"The Castle?"
Charlie looked around with some confusion, and then his eyes fell on the building in front of the pool, and said in surprise: "Third brother, do you mean that tower? I have traveled to Huaxia, and that building looks more like a tower." ”
Standing here, Tang Wen could see the top floors of the castle, and the eaves raised on both sides really looked like a pagoda, but Tang Wen felt that it was impossible for someone to build a tall tower in such a Western-style manor, and wondered: "I haven't been in there yet, just wait to go in and have a look." ”
