Seventy-four, conspiracy
Tang Ming and Mike ate all the chicken, leaving only some soup and chicken bones on the table.
"Uh......" Tang Ming burped and said, "It's a little bit supportive." ”
Mike clutched his stomach and said, "I ate too much." ”
"Pick up the table, it's an event. Tang Ming stood up and cleaned up the restaurant with Mike, Mike went downstairs, and he returned to the room by himself.
"Quack Quack ......"
When Ugly Chou saw Tang Ming, he stretched his neck, opened his mouth and shouted.
Tang Ming smiled: "I'm hungry again, it's really a hungry ghost reincarnated, okay, don't scream, I'll bring you beef." ”
I went downstairs to the kitchen, took a piece of beef from the refrigerator, cut it into small strips, soaked it in the pool water, and went upstairs with a bowl.
"Come, open your mouth. Tang Ming picked up a piece of beef from the bowl and sent it to the ugly mouth.
Chou Chou bit the beef, swallowed the beef into his stomach in a few clicks, opened his mouth again, and waited for Tang Ming to feed it.
Today's ugly appetite is better than yesterday, and he ate most of the bowl of beef before he was full.
Tang Ming put the rest of the beef in the refrigerator and kept it for the evening to feed Chou.
……
Time flashed to May 10th.
Today is the day the ranch holds its second auction, and it's also Saturday, the day Cornelia rests.
Early in the morning, Cornelia came over, Tang Ming said a few words to her, and asked her to stay in the villa for a while by herself, and Tang Ming went to entertain the dealers.
There are a lot of dealers coming today, there are thirty or forty, it seems that the competition will be more intense, but it is a good thing for Tang Ming, the more people who compete, the more money he earns.
As Tang Ming expected, the competition today was indeed very fierce, and more than 90 cattle were sold for a total of more than 2.8 million Australian dollars, which is equivalent to an average price of nearly 30,000 Australian dollars per cow, an increase of 10,000 Australian dollars from the last auction, which is quite high.
Tang Ming was very happy, but the dealers' mood was not so beautiful.
Especially Benedict Finger, since he was rejected by Tang Ming last time, he has always held a grudge, and today he spent more than 400,000 Australian dollars to buy more than a dozen cows, and he hates Tang Ming even more.
After leaving the alpine pastures, Benedict Finger asked his men to return the cattle first, and he drove himself to the bar in Montttown, asked for a beer, and sat there waiting.
After a while, a middle-aged man with yellow skin and short stature came over, sat down next to Benedict Finger, and asked for a beer.
His name is Ikue Akiyama, he is a Japanese, the owner of a beef export company, and he is Benedict Finger's business partner.
There are many beef export companies in Australia, Australia produces more than 20 million cattle a year, more than half of which are exported, in addition to a few large export companies, there are also many small companies, Benedict Finger and Akiyama Ikue are just one of them.
Benedict Finger spoke first: "Akiyama, do you feel strange that a Chinese boy can actually raise a better cow than Japanese Wagyu. ”
Akiyama Yue nodded and said, "It's a little strange, but I can't say that the cattle in the alpine ranch are better than the Japanese Wagyu, I have had the pleasure of tasting the top Japanese Wagyu beef a few times, and the taste is similar to the beef produced in the Takayama ranch." ”
"Hehe......" Benedict Finger scoffed, "you Japanese, you just don't like to throw in the towel." ”
A trace of displeasure flashed in Akiyama Yue's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and said righteously: "Mr. Finger, please correct me, although I am of Japanese descent, I am not Japanese, I am an Australian citizen. ”
"Okay, I'm wrong. Benedict Finger raised his glass and said, "I'll punish myself." ”
After drinking the beer in his glass, Benedict Finger asked for another beer and said, "Akiyama, don't you wonder why the mountain pastures can raise such good cattle?" ”
Akiyama Yue pondered for a while and said, "Of course I'm curious, Mr. Finger, what are your plans, let's talk about it." ”
Benedict Finger smiled proudly, he just expected that this Japanese character was very greedy, so he asked this guy to cooperate, otherwise it would be too risky for him to do it alone.
Benedict Finger whispered in Akiyama's ear for a moment, and Akiyama nodded and shook his head at times.
Then Akiyama said something in Benedict Finger's ear in the same way, and Benedict Finger nodded and frowned.
The two of them discussed mysteriously for a while, finally reached an agreement, and left the bar and went their separate ways.
……
Of course, Tang Ming didn't know what was going on here, he was wandering around the ranch with Cornelia.
The big fat and the second fat followed behind the two of them, looking left and right, looking majestic, like two lions patrolling the territory.
Today they had a much better attitude towards Cornelia, because when Cornelia came, they brought them a lot of gifts, including food, toys, and clothes, and they were kind of buying them.
The two of them walked for a while, and Cornelia suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, honey, what is that?"
Tang Ming raised his head and saw a small black dot in the sky, hovering above their heads, took a closer look, and said, "It should be a wedge-tailed eagle in the mountains, but it's quite strange, hasn't it been active in the mountains?"
Cornelia asked worriedly, "It can't be Ugly Daddy or Mommy coming for it." ”
Tang Ming smiled and said: "Of course not, do you think that all animals are so smart as big fat and two fat? After so many days, you can still recognize your child, I guess it feels that there are many and delicious animals in the pasture, and they come to hunt for food." ”
Of course, what Tang Ming said was not a joke, the wild animals in the pasture ate the grass irrigated with pond water, and the meat quality has been greatly improved, which is a rare delicacy for the wedge-tailed eagle, so the wedge-tailed eagle came to hunt for food, and he didn't feel strange at all.
They stood here and looked at the wedge-tailed eagle in the sky, only to see that it circled for a while, and soon found its target, swooped down from the sky, plunged headlong to the ground, and after a while, grabbed a rabbit in both paws, flew back into the sky, and walked away with its prey.
Cornelia said, "Honey, you guessed right. ”
Tang Ming smiled proudly and said, "That's, who am I? Can you guess wrong?"
Cornelia glanced at Tang Ming and said in Chinese, "Stinky beauty." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "My dear, it seems that you have worked very hard during this time, these two words are both standard and expressive, and those who don't know think that you grew up in China." ”
"Really?" Cornelia asked happily, "Do I speak Chinese very well?"
Tang Ming swore and said, "Of course, what did I lie to you about." ”
"Thank you. After listening to Tang Ming, Cornelia was even happier.
