One hundred and twenty-two, the grapes bloom
When he returned to the villa in the evening, Tang Ming sat on the bed and looked at a piece of paper, which showed the various building facilities in the Spus Ranch and Jiaoluo Ranch.
Among them, there are villas, stables, cowsheds, sheepfolds, dairy houses, and grain warehouses in the Spurs Ranch, which are relatively complete, but they are relatively small, such as the stables can only accommodate more than ten horses, and the cowsheds can only accommodate hundreds of cattle for fattening, and the area of the sheepfold and the dairy houses is not large.
The opposite is true of the Kakuro Ranch, which is similar to the Alpine Ranch in that it has a barn that can accommodate thousands of cattle for fattening, as well as villas, cowboy apartments and stables.
There are so many building facilities, many of which are useless, and the useless buildings are demolished, otherwise they will be empty for a long time and can easily become a nest for wild animals.
Tang Ming thought for a while and drew a cross on several buildings, which were the buildings he was going to demolish.
Tang Ming thought about the planning of the ranch, and after a while, sleepiness came up, and he fell asleep on the bed.
By the time he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Get up from bed, go to the bathroom to wash up, get dressed and get ready to go out.
Ugly Ugly consciously walked out of the nest, followed Tang Ming out, walked around, Tang Ming sent Ugly Ugly back, and he went out again and came to the stable.
After serving the chestnuts, I rode it around the pasture.
When passing by the cowshed, he saw that Mike was shearing sheep, Tang Ming got down from the chestnut and led the chestnut over.
Mike finished cutting a sheep, got up from the ground, and said, "Boss, you're here." ”
"Hmm." Tang Ming nodded and said, "It's okay now, let's discuss the matter of the ranch." ”
Tang Ming and Mike sat on the grass and discussed, now that the ranch has expanded, there are two problems that need to be solved, one is the fence around the ranch, and the other is the irrigation system.
The enclosures of the Alpine Pasture, the Srps Ranch and the Jiaoluo Ranch are separated and need to be connected together in order to make the pasture a whole.
"Now that the ranch is 63,000 acres, if all these fences were to be reinstalled, it would not only be expensive, but also a lot of work, so it would be better to renovate the existing fences, which would save a lot of money and not take a long time," Mike said. ”
Tang Ming nodded, recognized Mike's words, and said, "That's it, Mike, you go to Monte Town to find a construction company and hand over this project to them." ”
"Okay, boss." Mike agreed, and said: "As for the sprinkler irrigation system, I am not in a hurry to install it now, I checked the grass in those two pastures yesterday, and it is growing well, and I can install it when the water shortage is serious in the summer." ”
"Okay, just do as you say." Tang Ming wanted to install the sprinkler irrigation system now, but he had no money in his hand, so he could only give up this idea and wait for a while.
They discussed the two issues and then moved on to other topics.
Mike said: "Boss, the sheep in the pasture are about to be sheared, and a total of about 7,000 kilograms of wool have been sheared, whether you are going to sell these wool or store them. ”
Tang Ming smiled: "Of course they were sold directly, what am I storing them for." ”
After a pause, Tang Ming asked, "By the way, Mike, how much is a kilogram of wool now?" ”
Mike said: "Now the price of wool is 12 Australian dollars per kilogram, this price is not fixed, in addition to the quality of the wool, it is also related to the market, but now the price of wool is good, and the quality of the wool in our pasture is very good, it should be able to sell at a good price." ”
"One kilogram is 11 Australian dollars, and 7,000 kilograms of wool can be sold for 80,000 Australian dollars." Tang Ming calculated it and felt a little disappointed, the output of a thousand sheep in half a year was not as valuable as two cows, which made him lose interest in sheep.
Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "Mike, let's drive this group of sheep to the area that originally belonged to the Spurs Ranch, and raise some more meat sheep in this place, what do you think?" ”
Tang Ming felt that it was not cost-effective to use the grass here to raise sheep, and the pond water could improve the meat quality of cattle and sheep, but it could not make the hair on their bodies also produce qualitative changes, so raising sheep was not as good as raising sheep for meat.
Mike said: "Yes, boss, I recommend raising Boer goats, which are known as the 'king of meat goats', which are very suitable for our ranch breeding." ”
Tang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, you have time to buy some back, well, buy a thousand first, raise it and try it, if the meat quality is good, you will raise this kind of sheep in the future." ”
Mike said, "Okay, boss, I'll go when I'm done." ”
Tang Ming looked at his watch, it was already past seven o'clock, and said, "Let's go, it's time, go back to eat." ”
The cowboys put down their work, rode their horses, and walked back to the villa, breakfast was ready, Su Huiqin and Song Qian were serving it to the dining table, Tang Ming and they sat at the table and began to eat.
After eating, Tang Ming walked to the tarmac, drove a helicopter over the ranch to inspect it, and finally stopped in front of the villa of the original Sparks Ranch.
The area of this villa is much smaller than the villa where Tang Ming lives, and there is no swimming pool and helipad, but there are gardens in front and back, and there are more than ten acacia trees planted in front of the yard, which looks very beautiful.
The villa is two-storey, with a usable area of just over 1,000 square meters, and a basement, but now the villa is empty, and the furniture and other things have been moved by the previous rancher.
There is also a villa in the Kakuro Ranch, which is slightly larger than this.
For these two villas, Tang Ming didn't know what to do, so he could only put them here first, and then talk about them after he had a good idea after a while.
After a turn in the villa, Tang Ming left, and when he flew back to the villa in a helicopter, he swept over the vineyard, Tang Ming faintly saw some small white flowers on the green vines, and he knew that these were the flowers of grapes.
Parking the helicopter, Tang Ming walked to the vineyard, and the grapes were indeed blooming, the flowers of the grapes were very small, and it was easy to be ignored if you didn't pay attention.
Tang Ming also saw swarms of flies and bees flying around the grape blossoms, which were collecting nectar and pollinating the grape blossoms at the same time.
It may seem strange that flies pollinate, but it's actually normal, not only in Australia, but also in other places, and some places will breed flies specifically for pollination.
Tang Ming looked at the flies flying all over the sky, he felt a little disgusted, and hurriedly closed his mouth, otherwise the flies would fly into his mouth, he decided, after a while, he would transplant the golden tree around the villa, he really couldn't stand these swarms of flies.
