That night, an astonishing piece of news spread through Wharton at an alarming rate. **The owner of the largest ranch in Wharton County, the lucky one who won Jessica's heart, and the kung fu Xiao who knocked down Willie with one punch, actually tamed the black devil and became the owner of this wild horse!

If the news of Xiao Ping's purchase of a large piece of land only surprised the residents of the town, then the news of his taming of the black devil simply caused a sensation. The Black Sè Devil is very famous in Whartontown, and many cowboys have suffered from it, almost to the point that everyone talks about it. So Xiao Ping, who tamed it, became a hero in everyone's minds, and everyone felt that this Chinese was too powerful, to the point of omnipotence.

In fact, when Xiao Ping first bought a large piece of land, many residents of Wharton Town did not have much affection for him. In their opinion, this Chinese is just a rich outburst, and there is nothing remarkable about it. But now that Xiao Ping has tamed the black devil, his status in the town is immediately different. In a place like Wharton, the cowboy who rode Jīng Zhan was always the object of everyone's respect, and Xiao Ping, who tamed the black devil, also gained the respect of others because of his riding skills.

Of course, there are some people who do not believe that how can a foreign Chinese tame the black devil? So the men discussed, and the next day they went to Lilian's ranch to see what was going on. However, when they saw the black devil pacing leisurely on the pasture, they had to admit this fact. Xiao Ping's status in Wharton immediately improved, and he made the transition from ranch rookie to famous cowboy in one day.

Xiao Ping himself didn't know about it. Early in the morning, he and Marc went to the Ruhr agricultural company, where he planned to buy seeds for pasture and vegetables. The owner of the Ruhr Agricultural Company is named Anthony, and he is an old man with a beautiful white beard. He also knew about Xiao Ping's purchase of the land of the Jami Foundation, and he was naturally very enthusiastic about this big customer.

After knowing that Xiao Ping wanted to buy grass and vegetable seeds, Anthony immediately recommended several varieties to him. On the way, Xiao Ping discussed with Mark, and the grass was planted with alfalfa and perennial ryegrass, which were also mentioned by Jessica. Best for the conditions at Lillian Ranch.

As for what kind of vegetables to grow, Mark, who is good at managing the ranch, has no clue. But Jessica, a former reporter for a well-known food magazine, knows all about what vegetables Americans love to eat. The vegetables Americans like to eat are different from those of Chinese. They prefer to eat fewer leafy greens, preferring vegetables that can be made into sèla. So Xiao Ping took Jessica's advice and bought seeds for vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. /

Because I think I can't come to the United States very often. So Xiao Ping also deliberately increased the number of seeds purchased. He bought these seeds back and soaked them in the spring of the demon refining pot for a day and a night, and then dried them and stored them, enough for the ranch to sow seeds for most of the year.

After solving the troubles of the wild horse herd, the construction of the ranch is back on track. The construction of the guardrail is nearing completion, which also indicates that the construction of the ranch is nearing completion. At the same time, the land near the Wharton River has been turned over, and the newly purchased vegetable seeds have also been sown, and Xiao Ping's vegetable planting business has finally officially started on the other side of the ocean!

In addition to vegetables, the cultivation of pasture grass also began at the same time. These grass seeds have been soaked in the spring by Xiao Ping, and it is believed that they will be far superior to ordinary grass in terms of growth rate and nutrient content, and the importance of the pasture is naturally self-evident.

Xiao Ping stood in the deep ploughing just now. The pastures that have already sown the seeds of pasture are full of confidence in the future of pastures. Despite the fact that the pasture is still bare, the grass seeds soaked in the spring will soon germinate, and then the energy will continue to provide nutritious pasture for the cattle and sheep in the pasture.

In fact, Xiao Ping planted a large area of pasture grass in the pasture in preparation for raising Kobe Wagyu cattle in the near future. Top cattle breeds plus grass cultivated in the Demon Refining Pot. In the future, the beef produced from the ranch will definitely quickly conquer the entire high-end catering industry with extremely high quality, which is also in line with Xiao Ping's consistent jīng product route.

Mark was driving a tractor to sow seeds in another pasture, and when he saw Xiao Ping, he quickly jumped down from the tractor and said to him, "Boss, Bob and I have sown twelve acres of vegetables and seventy acres of pasture in the past few days. ”

Mark's words also made Xiao Ping a little emotional, where farmers basically use large machinery to do farm work. The degree of automation is very high, and the work efficiency naturally follows. Thinking of this, Xiao Ping smiled at Mark, and Wen Yan encouraged: "Everyone has worked hard recently, and I will not forget it." ”

Mark originally worked at Lillian's Ranch, and now that the ranch has changed hands, he naturally works for Xiao Ping. I wasn't very familiar with the new boss, and I didn't know whether to say something or not, so I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. Seeing Mark's words, Xiao Ping smiled and said, "Mark, just say anything." After getting along for a long time, you will know that I am a person who likes to speak straight, since we all work together, you can put forward any ideas and suggestions. ”

Since Xiao Ping said so, Mark was no longer polite, and organized the language: "Boss, when Jessica's father managed the ranch before, there were a total of four cowboys working for him. Now the scale of the ranch is much larger, and we have opened up vegetable fields, but the number of people has not increased, I am afraid ......"

"Oh yes, I was negligent. Xiao Ping smiled apologetically at Mark: "There have been too many facts about the ranch recently, and I forgot about it for a while, or you will be responsible for recruiting people?"

Mark asked in surprise, "I'm responsible?!"

Xiao Ping said as a matter of course: "Yes, you are a native and familiar with everyone, so it is most appropriate for you to leave this matter to you." How many more people do you think the ranch needs to have?"

The boss's trust made Mark a little excited, and secretly calculated: "I want to ...... If you're going to use all the ranch, you're going to need at least seven or eight cowboys, and because the ranch has vegetable fields, you're going to need four or five full-time farmers to take care of the vegetables. ”

Since this recent period, Xiao Ping has also gained some understanding of how the ranch works. The pastures in Wharton County are a combination of grazing and captivity, and the usual work is not as simple as driving cattle and sheep around the pasture. In addition to grazing, they also have to harvest pasture, clean cattle and sheep pens, vaccinate livestock, and even deliver mothers who are about to give birth. Therefore, it is not too much for a dozen cowboys to manage such a large ranch, on the contrary, the work will be harder. As for Mark's suggestion that he would invite four peasants, without large-scale mechanized equipment, the number of people several times would not be able to take care of such a large vegetable field.

So Xiao Ping immediately accepted Mark's suggestion and said to him dryly: "Then hire people according to the number of eight cowboys and five farmers first, and if there are not enough people, we will recruit again." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ping was so easy to speak, Mark was also in a good mood, and then asked the boss: "How is the treatment of new workers calculated?"

Xiao Pingzhi said that most Americans are relatively straightforward in their words and actions, and they also have a strong sense of law. I will talk to my boss about the treatment before work, so it is convenient to solve any problems in the future. Xiao Ping himself also admired this, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Mark asking like this, he said to Mark after a little silence: "In this way, the new workers will be paid according to the standard when you used to work for Jessica's father, as for the four people you left behind...... The salary will be increased by 20%, and if the ranch makes more money in the future, I will give you a salary increase depending on the situation!"

Xiao Ping's generosity made Mark overjoyed, and hurriedly said to him: "This is the best, I believe everyone will be very satisfied, I will go to the town to recruit people now." ”

"Wait a minute, Mark. Seeing that Mark was leaving, Xiao Ping hurriedly stopped him: "How long have you been working here?"

Mark secretly calculated in his heart: "I've been working on this ranch since I graduated from high school, and now I ...... It's been almost eight years. ”

Xiao Ping nodded and said, "Jessica said that you are a cowboy who is out of sè, and all the work on the ranch can be done well." I also think you're a good person, so I'd like to ask you to be the manager of the ranch. ”

Mark was really shocked at this time, and stammered and asked, "I...... I'm going to be a manager?

"Absolutely. Xiao Ping smiled and said, "I can't stay in the ranch forever, so I want to find a reliable and capable person to help manage the ranch, if you want......"

"Of course I do!" Mark, who came back from the surprise, hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely manage the ranch well." ”

Xiao Ping smiled: "Congratulations, Manager Mark." Your salary is half higher than that of ordinary workers, and at the end of the year I will give you a dividend based on the income of the ranch, do a good job!"

Xiao Ping's words made Mark very excited. In his opinion, the boss makes himself a ranch manager, not only to increase income, but more importantly, a trust and appreciation. Mark was so happy that he couldn't even speak, and stammered, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard, that ...... I'm going to the town now to recruit workers, there's still a lot of work to be done on the ranch!"

Xiao Ping smiled and nodded to Mark, signaling that he could go about his business. So the cowboy went away in a hurry, not even bothering to say hello to Jessica, who was walking towards him.

Jessica had never seen Mark so happy, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Ping curiously: "What's wrong with Mark, why are you so happy?"

"I've made him a ranch manager, and he's happy. Xiao Ping smiled and asked Jessica, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"Hmph, you're pretty good at being a good person. Jessica glanced at Xiao Ping and said, "I do have something to look for you, I'm here to say goodbye to you!" ......)
