【Chapter 754】 Dream Impression (Subscription Requested!)
Summer time in the United States is 14 hours apart from mountain time and Peking time, so when the Nini arrived at Helena after a 12-hour voyage, it was still early in the morning, and it felt like she had stolen a little time.
Due to the fact that the air traffic control system in the United States is much stricter than before, the original plan to let the Nini go around the ranch for an idle circle could not be realized. However, I heard Bob Sr. say that now the ranch has purchased a two-seater propeller plane to observe the overall situation of the ranch, and there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to overlook the ranch from the sky in the future.
Although it was the first time for Dai Bin to drive the 'Nini' to the 'Dream Ranch', after entering the control range of the Ranch Airport, Dai Bin still landed smoothly on the land of the ranch.
As soon as he walked out of the hatch, Xiao Feng saw Ma Wanli and Old Bob who greeted him on the runway, both of whom were dressed as pure cowboys and looked in good spirits.
Speaking of which, Ma Wanli and old Bob are a little older than their father, but they have lived and ridden horses on the ranch for a long time, and their bodies and spirits are far better than Xiao Jinyang, who works in the office.
This time, Xiao Feng took his parents over, in order to hope that the life on the ranch could make their health better.
For Xiao Feng, who is not short of money, the health of his family and parents is the most important thing.
"Uncle Ma, Bob, why are you still here to pick up the plane?" ~ Xiao Feng hugged the two and said with a smile.
Needless to say, the revolutionary feelings between Ma Wanli and Xiao Feng played a crucial role in the development of the 'Jinghu Group'. Looking at Ma Wanli's identity as the vice president of the 'Jinghu Group', it can be seen that Xiao Feng attaches great importance to him.
As for the elder Bob, in just a few months, he has already confirmed his worth with his ability to work. Deeply trusted by Xiao Feng.
Now Bob Sr. and Ma Wanli are working together, Ma Wanli is mainly responsible for the overall operation of the 'Dream Ranch' and the most important new cattle breed breeding work, while Bob Sr. is responsible for the daily operation of the ranch with more than 100 cowboys.
The two cooperated tacitly and brought the 'Dream Ranch' on the right track in a very short period of time, which is undoubtedly Xiao Feng's best helper.
"Brother Jinyang is here for the first time. Of course we're coming!" Ma Wanli stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xiao Jinyang and said, "Dream Ranch is much more interesting than Mirror Lake!"
Ma Wanli is quite familiar with the Xiao family, and they already have the feeling of a family, so they get along very well.
No, Nini and Yu'er, who had just gotten off the plane, had already hugged Grandpa Ma's thighs and shouted to take them to ride a horse.
After greeting for a while, Xiao Feng introduced old Bob to his parents. The group then left the airport and got into the car back to the castle.
Knowing that old Bob was his son's important assistant, Xiao Jinyang and Xue Lihua chatted with him very hard despite stumbling in spoken English, and felt that they couldn't leave people out in the cold.
Xiao Feng was moved by the ubiquitous concern of his parents, and he didn't care about his parents, anyway, he practiced his spoken English slowly. It's going to get better.
Because the ranch runway is not too far from Maple Leaf Castle, Ma Wanli simply drove a tractor with a body on it. The round grass mound above made the two children excited!
Because of jet lag, although their parents were a little sleepy, Xiao Feng arranged for them to eat and then took them to start walking around the ranch, so as not to be unable to sleep again tonight.
Xue Lihua was reluctant to move, preferring to stay in the castle with the children. But Nini and Yu'er couldn't sit still, and dragged their grandmother to the stable.
Back for two months, Nini was thinking about his Snow White, and ran to the stables as soon as she got off the plane.
Although Xiao Feng and the others are not on the ranch, Old Bob still takes care of the two ponies and Xiao Feng's 'shooting star' every day. So they're having a good time.
I have to say that the horses have a very high IQ, although they haven't seen their owners for two months, they still remember Xiao Feng and Nini, and rub their heads against them.
"Mom and Dad, you ask Uncle Ma to pick a horse for you, you can't do it without a horse in the pasture!" Xiao Feng said to his parents while saddle the 'Meteor'.
Pickups, ATVs, and horses are the most common modes of transportation in the large ranches of the United States, but in general horseback riding is more intimate with the ranch.
Xiao Feng just needs to walk around the pasture, so naturally he is the most suitable for horseback riding!
Xiao Jinyang and Xue Lihua had already learned to ride horses at the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', and it was not difficult to deal with them, and after a while, they picked their mounts.
Xiao Jinyang picked a brown-yellow quart, tall and big, looking quite majestic; Xue Lihua chose a group of American female horses with a more docile personality, and the patterns on their bodies were quite similar to cows.
"Let's use the mechanism saddle today, and let Xiaofeng take you to the harness shop in the town to choose a handmade saddle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" Ma Wanli said while helping Xiao Jinyang get on the saddle.
In the ranches of the American West, the vast majority of cowboys use more elaborate handmade saddles, which are considered by cowboys to be the equivalent of cowboys eating.
Saddles and revolvers are standard equipment for cowboys in the West, who can do without their own horses, but must have a saddle specially made for themselves.
When old Bob brought the cowboys to work at the 'Dream Ranch', they carried their own saddles with the car, which left a deep impression on Xiao Feng at that time.
In the future, if Xiao Jinyang wants to live in the 'Dream Ranch' for a long time, he naturally needs to slowly integrate the various traditions here, which is still very necessary in Ma Wanli's opinion.
"That's a good dare!" Xiao Jinyang nodded and said, "This United States has a much better attitude towards horses than in China!"
Although he had just arrived at the 'Dream Ranch', seeing that the stables were clean and tidy and there was no smell, Xiao Jinyang could feel the difference between the two places. In particular, the oily appearance of the horses is not comparable to the dirty pasture horses of the 'Mirror Lake Ranch'.
Speaking of which, domestic ranches regard ranching horses more as 'tools', but in the western pastures of the United States, horses play more of a 'partner' role.
After packing up, the group set off on horseback, and Nini and Yu'er also rode the small Shetland pony to follow, and the scene was quite spectacular.
The mother was afraid that the baby Yu'er would fall off the horse, but the little guy still looked good on the pony, with a little cowboy hat, boots and leather trousers with tassels, handsome.
In order to take care of the speed of the two little guys, Xiao Feng did not urge the 'Meteor' to run, which made this guy quite dissatisfied, after all, it had not been able to run happily for two months.
"This grass is very good, is it the same variety as 'Jinghu Ranch'?" Xiao Jinyang leaned over and pulled a handful of grass, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Over the years, although he has worked in the Yaozhou Public Security Bureau most of the time, he also knows some of the key points of ranch operation, and forage is the most important thing!
From the naked eye, the grass of 'Dream Ranch' is growing happily, and the rich grass is slightly sweet when you look closely, which is no different from 'Mirror Lake Ranch'!
"The same variety, the same cultivation method!" Xiao Feng nodded and explained to his father, "There are about 150,000 acres of grassland that can be transformed in the pasture, and there are another 50,000 acres of forest and water area!"
According to the property rights of Dream Ranch, the total area of the ranch is actually about 210,000 acres, 850 square kilometers, with a maximum width of 20 kilometers from east to west and a maximum width of 50 kilometers from north to south.
But even so, Xiao Feng still can't rank among the top ten landlords in the United States, and he must at least triple his land on the current basis before he has a chance.
Listening to his son tell the general situation of the pasture, Xiao Jinyang, who was riding on a horse, looked at the turquoise grassland as far as the eye could see, and it could be connected to the foot of the snow-capped mountains on the horizon.
After reading some of the numbers of the 'Dream Ranch' on the information, Xiao Jinyang's feeling was not very obvious, but after coming to the ranch, he learned that this hundreds of square kilometers of area would belong to the Xiao family for generations, Xiao Jinyang felt like a dream.
You must know that the 'Ginkgo New Area' covers an area of only 1,000 square kilometers, which is already a special department-level administrative region, with a population of more than 200,000. Nowadays, such a huge territory as 'Dream Ranch' belongs to the private land in Nini's name, which is really indescribable.
Tens of thousands of acres of pasture near the 'Maple Leaf Castle' began to be renovated in early March, and now many of the pastures have grown to 70 or 80 centimeters or even longer, and the breeze blows like a sea of green.
Charlotte cattle from France, quinine cattle from Italy, and Angus black cattle from the United States graze on the pastures, which is a typical pasture scenery.
Today, there are a total of 10,000 of the three types of cattle used to breed new breeds on the farm, and Ma Wanli directly manages these breeding cattle, which is crucial for both pedigree recording and crossbreeding!
It is estimated that more than US$200 million will be spent on the breeding of new cattle breeds, which is why the 'Jinghu Group' has the deep pockets to carry out the breeding of such a bottomless new cattle breed.
Breeding new cattle breeds doesn't happen overnight, so Dream Ranch's main source of income for the next five years will be raising experienced Angus black cattle. At present, more than 20,000 Angus black cattle have been transported to the 'Dream Ranch', and they will become the seeds of the 'Dream Ranch' and support the 'Dream Ranch' signboard in the next few years!
Xiao Feng took his parents around the pasture near the castle, and his father was very interested in the big lake with many Asian carp, saying that he would come to fish tomorrow and go home to make chopped pepper fish heads!
Due to the fact that the climate and altitude of the 'Dream Ranch' are not much different from Ginkgo Village, coupled with the fact that they have sons and grandchildren by their side, Xiao Jinyang and Xue Lihua quickly adapted to the life of the 'Gateway Ranch'! (To be continued......
