Chapter 748: Uncle Long's Farm
Chapter 748: Uncle Long's Farm
……
After parking the car, Liu Dong immediately looked at Uncle Long's courtyard.
To be honest, it is very similar to the ordinary courtyard in rural China, with two cucumbers planted on the edge of the fence in the west, but they may not have been planted for too long, and only small yellow flowers have been produced on the dark green seedlings.
Next to the cucumber are two shelves of dark green tomatoes, the seedlings have already produced red ripe fruits, and the red dandan is hanging with water droplets, which makes people have an appetite.
In addition to tomatoes and cucumbers, there are also very common farm vegetables such as beans, loofahs, and green onions, and dozens of free-range chickens pecked back and forth under these vegetable prices, but they usually looked at the two big dogs with vigilant eyes, and it was obvious that they had suffered from them.
Next to the vegetable field is a pond about 5 acres in size, and when Liu Dong came in, he could still see the occasional fish jumping out of the water!
Not far from the pond, near the east fence yard wall, there are two grape racks, the lush grape trellises block the sunlight, leaving a little shade, and under the grape trellises there is a stone table, four stone benches, and a chaise longue next to it.
In addition to these melons and fruits in the courtyard, there are also a pomegranate tree, a peach tree and a few pear trees scattered in the idle place, as well as common flowers familiar to Liu Dong, such as Yueji, orchids, and phalaenopsis.
Looking at it, the whole courtyard is purple and red in the autumn sunshine, a piece of vitality, not only the joy of life of the farmer's chickens and dogs barking, but also the Chinese literati have been yearning for chrysanthemums since ancient times, avoiding the leisurely distractions of the world!
After taking a deep breath of the fresh air that Liu Dong could only find in his memory, he couldn't help but envy: "Uncle Long." You're in a great place. I want to buy a farm!"
"Huh. That's a good feeling, there are not many other things in Canada, but there are many farms, if you really want it, just buy one here, anyway, the land price here is cheap, and you are not short of this money!" Uncle Long smiled.
Liu Dong nodded, although it was impossible for him to live here like Uncle Long all year round. But it's okay to take a month or two out of the farm every year for a vacation, and now that he has a lot of money, he should pursue a better quality of life!
"Let's go, I'll take you to my farm!"
Looking at Uncle Long's enthusiastic appearance, Liu Dong was also deeply interested, and the two walked out of the small courtyard together.
In Uncle Long's farm, the small fence yard where he usually lives is only a small part, and the outside is more of a farm for growing cash crops.
However, there are only a small amount of soybeans and wheat planted here in Uncle Long, and more playgrounds are still patches. and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely.
"My son is mainly in the timber and supermarket business in Canada, so I mainly raise these cattle and sheep on this farm. When the time comes, it will be sold in his supermarket. ”
After nodding, Liu Dong said, "Uncle Long, how big is your farm?"
"It's not too big, about 12,000 acres!" Uncle Long said.
"12,000 acres is not too big?"
Liu Dong was really surprised, in his hometown, the average family of four has less than 10 acres of ration land!
"Hehe, you have been in China for a long time, and you don't know about foreign agriculture, especially the market of Canadian farms...... Here, there are few people and many land, and large farms of tens of thousands of acres abound, and even in the agriculturally developed provinces of Manitoba and Ontario, there are hundreds of thousands of acres, even hundreds of thousands of acres, and millions of acres of large farms!
"It seems that I'm really a little lonely!" Liu Dong said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, I'll find out when you stay with me for a few days!"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Long looked into the distance, and a tall and strong man on a horse rushed towards here.
In less than five minutes, the person had already approached.
"Uncle Long, are you back old?"
After shouting, the man jumped off the horse with one leg on his legs, and his clean and neat movements revealed superb riding skills, which made Liu Dong a little envious in his heart, he had never ridden a horse since he was a child!
Yan Chun, come, let me introduce you, this is Liu Dong, who has just come from China...... Liu Dong, this is Yan Chun, thanks to him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to manage such a big farm alone!"
"Uncle Long, you are too polite, if you hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the streets by now!" After Yan Chun finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand towards Liu Dong, "Hello, my name is Yan Chun, if you don't understand anything in this farm in the future, just look for me, I will definitely help when the time comes!"
Obviously, the other party regarded Liu Dong as a farm worker that Uncle Long found from outside.
However, Liu Dong didn't explain much, he could see that the young man in front of him was a real person, so after looking at it for a while, he also smiled and shook the other party's hand, "Okay, then I will ask you to take care of it in the future!"
"No problem, wrap it up on me!"
"Sigh ......!" as the three of them spoke, a long and powerful neighing of horses was heard in the distance.
Immediately attracted the attention of the three of them, and they saw that 500 meters away, in the place where the oak trees on the two farms were separated, a tall horse with a long mane as black as coals and a long mane on the back of his neck flew like the wind and ran into Uncle Long's farm.
With the joyful neighing of breaking free, he galloped up on the morning field like a lightning speed, frightening the surrounding herds of cattle and sheep that had been grazing leisurely and fled in all directions.
"Oh no, Uncle Long, it's Charlie next door who has run out again!" Seeing the black horse, Yan Chun's face immediately changed color.
"Stop it, if you let this guy drive the cattle up, then something will happen!" Uncle Long's face also changed color.
He has about 800 cattle on this farm, almost every one of them is about 200 kilograms, if these cattle are allowed to rush in groups, it will be no worse than the momentum of the ancient cavalry battlefield charge, and unless they are tired of running by themselves, they will not be able to stop if they want to!
"Uncle Long, I'll go!" Yan Chun also knew that there was no time to delay, so he immediately jumped on the jujube red horse next to him, knotted the rope for the horse from the back waist, turned the horse's head and rushed over.
"Uncle Long, I'll take a look too!" Liu Dong said.
"You're going, but can you ride a horse? And we're here with the one Yan Chun can ride! Without a horse, we can't stop that little bastard named Charlie!"
"Hehe, Uncle Long, don't worry! Even if I don't have a horse to ride, I can still handle it!" As he spoke, Liu Dong turned around, and with the force under his feet, the whole person had already rushed out quickly.
"Hey, Liu Dong ......!"
Watching Liu Dong go away, the old man didn't say anything, he knew that Liu Dong had kung fu on him, and he believed that even if he couldn't stop the mischievous black horse, he wouldn't let himself be hurt.
When he got closer, Liu Dong found that this black horse called 'Charlie' was actually such a divine horse, the height of 1.7 meters was already tall among the horses, and the limbs were slender, the muscles were strong and developed, the black hair seemed to have been waxed, flashing in the sun, and the slender horsehair flying with the wind on the back of the neck was really like a heavenly horse, it was really majestic enough to be a divine horse, and even Liu Dong, a person who had never ridden a horse, liked it a little at first sight!
But I don't know if this horse also fell in love with Liu Dong, or simply avoided Yan Chun, who wanted to catch it, and actually ran towards Liu Dong.
"Liu Dong, get out of the way!"
Seeing that Liu Dong was standing in the direction of the black horse galloping and no longer moving, Yan Chun, who saw this scene, hurriedly shouted anxiously.
"Xiaodong, get out of the way!" Uncle Long was also a little anxious.
Even if Liu Dong has kung fu, the impact of a horse running fast is no less than that of a motorcycle with an increased throttle, which will be hit head-on, and he will be paralyzed if he does not die!
However, Liu Dong turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the two, and his eyes were staring at the big black horse rushing towards him.
"Excuse me......!"
The big dark horse saw Liu Dong, the challenger who dared to stop him, and after hissing, he rushed over faster.
However, just when he saw that it was still two meters away from him, Liu Dong turned around and took a step back with his left foot as the axis, and almost by a millimeter he avoided the impact of the big black horse.
However, Liu Dong risked being hit, not just to dodge, but to conquer this group of fierce horses that he loved.
By the way, also experience the true feeling of charging on horseback.
"Hey!"
At the moment when Liu Dong turned around, he let out a low shout, and the powerful power accumulated on his left leg burst out in an instant, pushing Liu Dong's body to jump more than a meter high almost in an instant, and when he fell, his legs had firmly clamped the horse's back, and his hands were tightly wrapped around the neck of the big black horse.
Feeling the sudden extra weight on his body, the big black horse that had never been ridden before, after an angry neigh, the strong and powerful four hooves suddenly jumped high, and jumped up again after landing, and so on, wanting to use violent bumps to throw Liu Dong off his back.
But Liu Dong's two legs are like growing on the back of a horse, no matter how it shakes, it just doesn't move.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, the big black horse spread its hooves and galloped in the slightly undulating playground of the farm, and the galloping speed left Yan Chun, who had just caught up, behind him almost instantly, and soon the surrounding scenery retreated to the side like lightning.
In less than ten seconds, the big black horse had already rushed out of Uncle Long's farm with Liu Dong and came to the farm on Uncle Long's right.
The main crops grown on this farm are soybeans and American ginseng, which is certainly not as suitable for a horse's fart as the playground, but the speed of the big dark horse has not been reduced in the slightest.
But all the way to the gallop, I don't know how many crops I trampled on.
However, Liu Dong, who was already immersed in the excitement of riding a horse for the first time......, couldn't care about these anymore!
