At noon, Xiao Feng and his party only hastily ate some dry food, and then continued on their way, after all, the straight-line distance from the 'Maple Leaf Castle' to the predetermined campsite was more than 70 kilometers, and it was not easy to travel in the snow.

All they encountered along the way were small prey such as pheasants, and Xiao Feng and the others didn't have much interest in attacking, so they moved forward without distractions.

Towards the end of the afternoon, because the sled dog's body was lowered, Xiao Feng and the others were forced to reduce their speed, and in order to bypass some dangerous terrain, the trip had to be extended.

Departing at nine o'clock in the morning, after two breaks (2 hours) on the road, the team did not arrive at the scheduled camp until five o'clock, when it was somewhat dark.

The scheduled camp is located in a wooded area on the northwest edge of Dream Ranch, just about 10 kilometres from the ranch boundary and close to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

This is one of the places where beef cattle live, and it usually only takes a little more than an hour to drive from the 'Maple Leaf Castle', but due to the heavy snow covering the mountain, it took Xiao Feng and his party a full 6 hours to arrive.

With more than 8,000 beef cattle in total, 20 cowboys, 40 cattle dogs, 30 ranch horses, and various vehicles and machinery, it is the smallest herd in the ranch.

All the cowboys live in relatively simple wooden houses in the woods during the snowy period, but they are also equipped with fireplaces, oil-fired boilers, diesel generators and other equipment, and there are not too many problems in life.

As for supplies, before the snow fell, Dream Ranch had replenished the various campsites with flour, bread, noodles, rice, meat, potatoes, onions, fruits, and more, which was enough to ensure the normal consumption of all cowboys. In addition, the ranch regularly drops a variety of fresh vegetables and meats into the campsite by guò sleds and even helicopters to ensure that the cowboys have a worry-free life.

In terms of recreation, each habitat has a recreation room. Cowboys can watch movies, play billiards, play darts, read books, etc., and there is even a mobile signal, so cowboys can surf the Internet, and life is still quite comfortable.

It can be said that in order to ensure that the cowboys maintain their full enthusiasm for work, 'Dream Ranch' has done everything possible in every detail of life.

However, this will increase the operating costs of the farm. But this expense is nothing compared to the high profits in the future. You know, even according to the standard of 'Jinghu Beef Cattle', each big beef cow slaughtered by these beef cattle can bring at least more than 10,000 US dollars, and the profits are so huge that only the people who come to them can feel this.

Since the establishment of 'Jinghu Group', Xiao Feng has adhered to the concept of letting employees live with dignity, how to achieve this. The only way to do this is to improve the level of compensation and benefits.

In Ginkgo Village, the average salary of ordinary employees of 'Jinghu Group' is about 100,000 RMB, and the income of middle and senior managers is also in the leading position in the same industry and even in the ranking of domestic enterprises. In the 'Dream Ranch', Xiao Feng still continued this policy, and the salary level of cowboys and other staff was much higher than that of the surrounding area.

Xiao Feng hopes that in this way, the centripetal force and cohesion of employees to the enterprise will be enhanced, and a good human resources foundation will be laid for future expansion.

The arrival of Xiao Feng and the three of them suddenly made the camp much more lively. Especially those clansmen from Ginkgo Village, who came up one after another. The ninth uncle and the fourth grandfather called Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang.

For the Xiao clan people in Ginkgo Village, not every one of them can afford to open an inn or set up a business around the 'Jinghu Group', and the biggest way out is to join the 'Jinghu Group' to work.

This time, the 'Jinghu Group' swept away the young people in the village who were in the prime of life and had excellent conditions, and provided them with a generous salary package, allowing them to cross the ocean to the United States.

Right now. Every grassroots cowboy can get about 2,000 US dollars in the ranch, which is basically the same as that of American cowboys; of course, in the domestic account, the 'Jinghu Group' will also give them a 15,000RMB overseas work subsidy, these cowboys are now high-income people.

Like Chen Mo, Xiao Dabai and others. I have already started to become a middle supervisor of the ranch, and the income is even higher!

The direct impact of the high salary is that the ongoing selection of the second batch of migrant workers to the United States has become the enthusiasm of everyone in Ginkgo Village and even the entire 'Ginkgo New Area'.

After all, if you work in the United States for three or five years, you can not only see the world, but also accumulate a net worth of millions, which is attractive to all young people!

Now, it is not only the young people of Ginkgo Village who are vying to sign up, but even some key college graduates whose household registration is in the 'Ginkgo New District' regard working in the 'Dream Ranch' as the ultimate goal of their first job after graduation.

Xiao Feng saw that these clansmen got along quite well with their colleagues in the United States, and their originally stumbling spoken English also improved rapidly, and even had some Montana accents.

It can only be said that the environment is the best language teacher!

As the boss, Xiao Feng inspected the entire forest under the leadership of Giovanni, the head of the camp, and couldn't help but praise the orderly arrangement.

Giovanni, a rare Italian descendant from Montana, was originally a USC graduate, and when he came to Montana on his graduation trip, he fell in love with the pure skies and simple people.

In this way, he gave up his white-collar job in Los Angeles, learned to be a cowboy in Montana, and finally found a beautiful and kind wife here and had a pair of lovely children.

If you start from the romanticism of the young people, Giovanni is living the life he likes, which is enviable, but if you look at universal values, giving up a high-paying, easy white-collar job and becoming a hard-working cowboy will definitely outweigh the losses.

No matter what others think, at least Giovanni is having a good time now.

Because of Giovanni's excellent performance and good resume, he was promoted to one of the five mid-level cowboy supervisors at Dream Ranch, in charge of a herd.

Xiao Feng has a good impression of Giovanni, who is 'elegant' and persistent in his heart, and feels that such a cowboy is conducive to improving the overall quality of the ranch cowboy, and he is also full of expectations for his expression.

Under Giovanni's leadership, Xiao Feng inspected the woods where the cattle lived, as well as the hay stacks and the warehouses for green fodder.

Some of the pregnant cows were also arranged into snow shelters, surrounded by plywood, which was also in good shape.

After walking around, Xiao Feng looked at Yiqiē in an orderly manner, and did not point out the specific affairs of the camping site, but just asked Giovanni to make persistent efforts to lead the cowboys and cattle through this long winter.

Back at the restaurant at the camping site, everyone here has already begun to prepare dinner, and the warm fireplace and noisy atmosphere suddenly make Xiao Feng feel very comfortable.

Because Xiao Feng likes to cook, this tradition has been well continued within the 'Jinghu Group', and many employees will work hard to study cooking skills in their spare time, but they have improved their quality of life in some way.

As soon as Xiao Feng entered the door, he smelled the rich aroma of red braised venison, and after asking, he learned that a stag that had been separated from the team had broken into the camping area the day before yesterday, and the cowboys were captured in one fell swoop.

In the face of the prey sent to the door, everyone naturally will not hypocritically push out, and after killing, it becomes the best choice for cowboys to replenish energy.

When the boss arrives, the cowboys naturally want to bring out the best ingredients and have a good meal!

In addition to the red stewed venison, the big pot of copper stove hot pot that was tumbling also made Xiao Feng's eyes shine, and this is still a Taiji mandarin duck pot.

"Are you used to eating hot pot too?" Xiao Feng pointed to the red soup pot on the dining table and asked Giovanni with a smile.

In Xiao Feng's impression, Mexican cuisine is spicy, and the rest of Western cuisine is bland, and ordinary Europeans and Americans generally don't eat spicy.

"The hot pot is delicious!" Giovanni gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "At first, we only dared to eat clear soup pots, but now we have learned slowly!"

In the past six months since he joined the 'Dream Ranch', in addition to the easy work on the ranch and the satisfactory salary, Giovanni has been most impressed by the variety of Chinese cuisine.

Like now, the wind is howling outside, the snowflakes are flying, and eating steaming, fragrant and spicy hot pot in a warm room is undoubtedly a great joy in life!

Seeing that everyone was happily preparing dinner, Xiao Feng was not idle, and also used some of the existing ingredients to make one or two dishes to add to the dinner.

…………

In the humble camping site, Xiao Feng and the cowboys ate his first meal on the front line of the ranch together, the hot hot pot, the crispy and tender stewed venison and the dried shiitake mushrooms with a thick mountain forest habitat all made Xiao Feng lose his mind.

Compared with castles, the environment and conditions of the camping site are naturally much worse, but these young cowboys face this with an optimistic attitude, turning the otherwise boring and lonely herding life into a kind of fun.

Most of the cowboys who like grazing, cattle and sheep are optimistic and cheerful, they can endure loneliness, and they can also endure hardship, so that the 'dream ranch' is getting better and better.

At this time, Xiao Feng finally understood why his father liked to graze with cowboys, which was nothing more than infected by this spirit of optimism.

These cowboys are actually the cornerstone of the 'Dream Ranch', and it is precisely because of them that the entire ranch has developed so rapidly.

After staying in the camping area for one night, Xiao Feng's feelings for the cowboys became more and more profound, so that in the future, the salary and treatment of the cowboys of 'Dream Mu Property' and even 'Jinghu Ranch' will become better and better, which also makes more and more cowboys become the diamond kings that girls compete to grab!

In these years, a man who can earn money is a good man!(To be continued......
