Lu Li sat up and stretched a big stretch. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the moderate softness and hardness of the bed, sleeping on the ground in the open air, even if it is flat, even if there is a sleeping bag, it is still not so comfortable; fortunately, Lu Li is not a pea princess, last night had no dreams, except for feeling a few small stones on his back, he slept very deeply.

When the tent was opened, the thick mist was released like a flood, which startled Lu Li, and when he looked back, there were two thick white clouds floating in the tent, but because the temperature in the tent was relatively high, it quickly dissipated.

Stepping out of the tent again, the forest shrouded in thick fog looked like ...... It seems that the whole person is in a fantasy fairyland, and he can only faintly see the stump at the bottom of the tree, the wet grass, the gurgling stream, and the bonfire that has been extinguished, and there is another tent beside him.

Hearing the sound, the tent next door also opened the zipper, and Song Lingyi came out, "Morning!" Lu Li took the initiative to say hello, first Song Lingyi, and then Lu Huaijin, both of them had already woken up, "How is it? Are you still used to it last night?

"I'm fine, I slept soundly. Song Lingyi nodded with a smile, "It still depends on your father, your father will recognize the bed, just like the princess of peas, the two nights when he just arrived at the ranch, he didn't sleep very well." After speaking, Song Lingyi turned her head to look at Lu Huaijin with concern in her eyes.

The undisguised complaint made Lu Huaijin a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to point to the tent behind him calmly, "I slept well last night." I don't know if it's because after a whole day of hiking, the whole person felt very tired, and fell asleep at once, and slept peacefully. ”

"That's good. Lu Li took a closer look, Lu Huaijin's face was not tired, his eyebrows were stretched, and his cheeks were also healthy and rosy, it could be seen that he was indeed resting well. "Let's have breakfast first, Cole insisted that I bring six eggs, and yesterday I was worried about crushing them all the way on my back. I don't want to carry it on my back any longer. ”

With last night's cooking experience, today's breakfast is much simpler, wrap the potatoes in tin foil and throw them into the fire, then fry the eggs, and then fry the ham briefly, and a simple breakfast is complete.

After breakfast, the tent was dismantled and all the luggage was packed. However, they did not set off for the return immediately, but walked up the valley, and Lu Li and his parents explored the hole they saw yesterday again, and walked around them twice before setting out on the way home.

People always seem to have the illusion that the journey is so far away that it seems that they will never reach the end, but the return journey is very fast, and it can be reached in the blink of an eye. I don't know if it's because the unknown destination makes people easily impetuous, or because the mood of going home makes everything happy, which makes the progress faster.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the beech forest of the pasture had come into view, and the light curtain separating the forest and the pasture appeared in front of me again, through the sparse shadows, once again bathed in the unobstructed sunlight, the restlessness and dryness of summer re-burrowed into the pores, some familiar, some strange.

Lu Li couldn't help but look back at the woods behind him again, he had just left, and he had already begun to miss it. The next time he has the chance, he should plan an eight-day, ten-day or so hike to really go deep into this boundless nature and explore it slowly.

"Now, I finally understand why young kids from abroad like to carry a big hiking bag on their backs and start hiking. Song Lingyi couldn't help but sigh, which made Lu Li look over, "Sure enough, many things can only be experienced by yourself." ”

"Do you want to try it next time you have a chance?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Of course, three or five days. Song Lingyi gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, "If the time is longer, the feeling may be different." What about you? What do you think?"

The last question was to look at Lu Huaijin, only to see him nodding, "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, in fact, this is all a road." After reading half a lifetime, it's time to explore on your feet. Lu Huaijin also reluctantly looked at the forest behind him, "When you are in it, the scenery you see is different." ”

Although the time is short, Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin have also gained something, and the changes in their mood always make people grow unconsciously.

The three of them lingered here for a little longer before walking in the direction of the main house.

Walking through the cornfield, I saw Randy busy on the organic farm, and in just twenty-four hours, the organic farm was turned upside down.

The lettuce and kale were almost all harvested, revealing vast expanses of land that had almost cleared nearly two-thirds of the space. However, the remaining third is still lush and lush, edamame, carrots, tomatoes, celery, green peppers, etc., all of which are relatively tall except for carrots, and tall seedlings emerge from the soil, growing green leaves, and it seems that they have begun to embrace the summer heatwave.

"Hey, you're back!" said Randy happily, "How's the journey?

"Good. Lu Li said heartily, showing a big smile, and then pointed to the empty land in front of him, "It's only been a day, and the world has changed a lot." Or is it that I've been in the forest for more than just one day, but for years?"

Randy also laughed and took the initiative to introduce, "We just harvested all the kale, and just ten minutes ago, the supermarket purchasing manager we contacted before would immediately come to the door to complete the purchase, and by the way, inspect our organic farm." ”

"Is that today?" Of course, Lu Li was aware, and Sean was still in charge of the supermarket, but Randy was in charge of the specific arrangement of the time, and Lu Li didn't expect that it would be today.

"Well, it's almost here, let's see if we can catch the five o'clock loading time. Randy looked at the time and said speculatively.

Generally speaking, the supermarket will be stocked in the early hours of the morning, the smaller supermarkets will be five o'clock, and the larger supermarkets will be three or four o'clock to ensure that the vegetables, meat and seafood can be guaranteed to be fresh every day. However, this refers to specific suppliers who have signed contracts to cooperate, and their harvesting and transportation chains have been perfected to form a set of their own systems.

But this deal at Cloud Peak Ranch is special because it's just a one-time deal. The supermarket needs to examine the strength of Yunding Ranch, and whether it can cooperate after that, everything is still unknown, not to mention, Yunding Ranch itself will not be able to complete the first batch of experiments until September, and the future development direction can be determined.

Therefore, the supermarket chose a reasonable time to come to the door, inspect the goods, and inspect the organic farm facilities of Yunding Ranch. If the kale deal goes through today, the supermarket can choose to load it at 5 p.m. and provide fresh vegetables for customers who buy dinner ingredients, and even if they don't sell out, they will still be fresh enough tomorrow morning.

Not only that, in addition to organic farms, Angus cattle from Cloud Peak Ranch will also need to cooperate with supermarkets in the future.

Generally speaking, the growth cycle of Angus cattle is 12 months, if you need to stay for breeding, then 13 months and 14 months old Angus cattle are the most suitable, and as beef cattle, 12 to 20 months is the most suitable age.

When Liz was still alive, the ranch had a herd of Angus cattle, and in a few months, they could be put on the market. Next, they need to arrange breeding and breeding, and then gradually form an echelon to ensure that beef can be sold in different seasons and different months, and the output is stable.

Even if the purchasing manager of the supermarket does not visit the cattle pen today, a good cooperation with the organic farm is always the right start.

"Then good luck to us!" Lu Li gave a thumbs up and sent his blessing to Randy, "Need my help?"

"Of course, it's great if you're willing to host each other in person. Randy shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, I'm just an employee of the ranch, and you're the boss." Provided, of course, that you don't get tired. ”

"It's a problem, a real problem. I'll consider taking a look. Lu Li deliberately made a look of embarrassment, which made Randy show a helpless expression, and Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi couldn't help it. Lu Li immediately laughed and pointed to the empty vegetable patches in front of him, "What are you going to do here?"

Since lettuce and kale have a short growth cycle, they can be harvested again soon after planting seeds. They can also plant at least three more times before the corn field is fully harvested, sowing and harvesting without interruption.

"Don't rush for now. Randy had apparently thought about it, "Let's see how much kale sells this afternoon." ”

The lettuce harvested before, due to the small quantity, they directly produced and sold it themselves, and distributed some to their next-door neighbors such as Blackmane Horse Ranch and Marshall Valley Ranch, and then ate it themselves, and it was consumed in a blink of an eye.

Mainly because the first batch of fields is really small, only one-fifth of the entire organic farm, and Randy has also tried to grow many different kinds of vegetables, and the number is even rarer. If it weren't for the first batch of planning, the proportion of kale was intentionally increased, and it would not be the turn of supermarkets to buy it today.

So, Randy also knows that following the steps is the most important thing.

Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "It's good that you know it in your heart." You continue to work hard, let's go back first, what I need most now is to take a shower. "If the biggest inconvenience last night was that there was no way to take a bath outdoors, and it was sweating all day, Lu Li felt that what he needed most now was a hot bath.
