Lu Li couldn't help but be a little curious, stepped forward and leaned over, the black bull in front of him glanced at him, flicked his tail, and then turned his head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Li noticed a yellow sign on the cow's ear, and when he looked over to see it, there were all kinds of codes on it, which he couldn't understand at all, Nick walked over and explained, "This is its basic information, breed, weight, vaccinations, etc." You see, the top string of numbers, you can check the official website of the union here, all of them are recorded, and there will be more detailed information on them. ”

Lu Li couldn't help but open his eyes, and he was really professional enough.

Then Nick talked to Cole, although the ranch now needs to buy a large number of cattle, but the types still need to be differentiated, there needs to be a certain proportion of cows and bulls, and some calves need to be selected. Only in this way can the farm then complete the sales and sales in an orderly manner according to different quarters, and then establish its own production chain.

"Nick, are there cows here?" Lu Li asked curiously, watching the conversation between the two of them come to an end for a while.

Nick looked up and laughed, "What? You want to milk your own cows? That's a chore. ”

"I thought it was all automated now. Lu Li gestured, "I saw an introduction on TV, that is, the milker, after being connected by hand, the milking can be completed automatically." ”

"That machine is expensive. Unless you want to be a professional milk supplier, you can't do it. Nick was very familiar, "Your ranch is big enough, why do you want to do this business professionally? I don't have any cows here, if you need it, you'd better go to Old Brown and see, the batch of Jersey cows he raised last year can already start producing milk, I don't know if they can be sold." ”

Angus Cow He knows, but what kind of cow is Jersey?

Receiving Lu Li's inquiry, Cole explained, "Native to the UK, the cow has the best milk fat percentage in the world. "Because it's the best, it also means expensive," Cole gave Lu Li a look, and then turned to look at Nick, "He just asked, curious." Now the Yundian Ranch is mainly maintained by Leilan sheep. ”

Lu Li saw Cole's eyes, and couldn't help but wonder, waiting for Cole and Nick to finish the discussion, the two of them left the bullpen where Nick was and continued to walk forward, Cole asked, "We have limited capacity now, and we don't have room to raise cows." "When we discussed it last night, Lu Li didn't mention it.

Lu Li smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just asking." "I was thinking that if we could raise thirty or fifty cows, not too many, and when tourists came, we could experience milking, and then we could make cheese from the milk." It's a good choice. On a regular basis, you can keep the milk for yourself. ”

Ke Er originally thought that Lu Li's whimsical thoughts were completely uncontrollable, but after listening to it, he felt that Lu Li was not talking about it, and this was indeed a direction worth considering. After all, raising thirty or fifty cows is still affordable for a ranch.

"I'll ask Old Brown in a moment. Jersey cattle are now outrageously expensive, and there are few farms around New Braunfels that are dedicated to raising cows. Cole decided to inquire about the situation before deciding, "Now the cow is not the focus, the Angus cow is." There are only about 200 of Nick here, which is a long way from what we need. ”

Looking at Cole's expression, Lu Li nodded calmly in agreement. He would never admit it, but he just thought it was a good idea to drink some fresh milk at home in the morning, so he asked about the cows. But I couldn't help but think about it, since the milk is also available, why don't you grind some soy milk too? He will go buy some flour tomorrow and come back, and the bun fritters will be made first.

Thinking about it, Lu Li's mouth did not leak his tone, "Then what are we waiting for, continue to purchase!"

After discussing it yesterday, Lu Li decided that the initial plan of Yundian Ranch was to raise 500 Angus cattle and 1,000 sheep first, and then buy 30 horses, including two pairs of breeders/horses. So, today's task is daunting.

"Huh. Cole suddenly made a puzzled voice, Lu Li followed his line of sight, but only saw a large herd of cows, for some reason, Cole raised his voice and said, "Fourteen, look, that cowgirl in a dark blue shirt over there......"

Lu Li looked up, but because his vision was blocked, he didn't see it, and he took two steps forward, and his vision suddenly widened.

The cowgirl Cole is referring to wears a certain dark brown denim tassel hat, although it is slightly exaggerated, but it has a unique charm, which is not something that ordinary people can control. But this cowgirl has a kind of complacent attitude, and the confidence and pride that burst out from the depths of her heart make people can't take their eyes off it.

"That's Jessica Swanson, one of the best cowgirls in our town. "She has a knack for herding, and she plays with competitive cowboys in her spare time, and in her younger years, she was completely a wild horse on the field." ”

"Young?" Lu Li was a little curious, there was still some distance here, and he couldn't see it clearly.

"She's thirty-five years old, and she's in the prime of life for a cowboy, but ...... cowgirl," Cole shrugged, the physical disadvantage did have an impact, "but that's only relative, she's still one of the top cowboys in town, and she's very experienced." In recent years, it has been difficult to run several private ranches in the neighborhood, otherwise how could she have stayed at home for nearly four months. ”

"Fu Xian? You mean, she can be hired now?" Lu Li immediately understood what Ke Er meant: Top cowboys, Fu Xian at home, this is equivalent to the welfare of Yundian Ranch!

Cole had said before that at least four cowboys needed to work together at Cloud Ranch. Now it's completely drowsy and the pillow is delivered.

Cole also showed a big smile, "I don't know how she is now, in the past, such a good cowboy didn't take a week at all, and it was immediately robbed." As he spoke, Cole waved his hand at Jessica and called, "Jessica!"

"Hey, Honey, why are you here?" Jessica's opening remarks made Lu Li laugh, calling Cole "Honey"?

Lu Li couldn't laugh anymore.

"This little sweetheart is fourteen. Ke Er introduced on the side, I don't know if it was his own illusion, Lu Li always felt that Cole's voice was a little gloating.

"Fourteen! You are so handsome, I think many people have praised you like that. Jessica actually threw a wink at Lu Li, blinked her right eye, and made Lu Li touch her nose with a generous gesture.

"Ha, today is the first time. Lu Li replied with a smile.

Jessica immediately heard what was going on and snapped her fingers, "Sure enough, it's a sweetheart." ”

Cole coughed lightly for the rest of his life, regaining Jessica's attention, "You've got a new job now?"

"I'm working part-time for the time being. Jessica pointed to the bullpen behind her and signaled, "I'm going to go to the cowboy convention to join in the fun, and when the summer vacation comes, everyone will be busy, and I guess I'll be busy too." ”

Jessica seemed very open-minded, with a smile on her face all the time, as if her life was now extremely full, but there was inevitably some embarrassment in her words. It is an indisputable fact that the economy of the United States is now in a recession, and as ordinary people, they are very limited in what they can change.

"So, you're here today for ......" Jessica immediately changed the subject, apparently continuing on the topic of unemployment. "Did you buy calves? I thought you were going to change ranches, didn't Liz's beech ranch say it was handed over to a big conglomerate? Damn Wall Street moths, I don't know if it's a guy with a fat brain. ”

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and Cole couldn't help but laugh, and explained in his place, "Liz gave the beech wood to Fourteen, and now it's called Cloud Ranch. Fourteen is not a big conglomerate. ”

Jessica's expression showed an embarrassed look for the first time, but Lu Li was very calm, "It's nice to meet you, I didn't expect that one day I would be regarded as the second generation of the rich consortium." This is a compliment to me. ”

Now the atmosphere is alive again.

"We did come today to buy some Angus cattle. As soon as Cole's words fell, his eyes shifted to the herd next to him, and Jessica dutifully began to introduce, "Sean's family's Angus cattle are of very good quality this year, but most of them are calves, and the price of forage is really exaggerated now, so he left it for a while, and took out all the rest." ”

The two men talked for about fifteen minutes, and Cole made an "OK" gesture towards Lu Li, and it seemed that the number of Angus cattle had been purchased, and it was confirmed that one item could be checked off the list.

"By the way, Jessica, there's one more thing. After finishing the conversation, Cole looked at Lu Li, "Cloud Ranch is starting again now, we need more cowboys, I don't know if you would like to come over?" After Cole finished speaking, he added, "Of course, I don't know how you and Sean talked......

Jessica directly interrupted Cole's words with a direct wave of her hand, "It's just a temporary contract." Jessica looked directly at Lu Li, "When are you going to work?"

"If that's okay, today?" Lu Li shrugged, "Because I'm not sure when I'll be delivered to the ranch after today's shopping, and now the ranch only has Cole and a cowboy......"

"You'll go to the outer circle and sign the waybill, then sign the check, and we'll start shipping on the spot, and your cattle pen will be full before you go back to the ranch. Jessica heartily explained, "Considering that you and Cole are still shopping here, I think I should be here now...... Yundian Ranch?" Jessica cast a verifying look, and Lu Li showed a big smile and gave affirmation, "Go to Yundian Ranch and stand by." ”

Lu Li was about to continue talking, but Jessica said briskly, "If you have a monthly salary, one thousand eight, no two prices." ”

Sure enough, it was neat, Lu Li snapped his fingers, and then stretched out his right hand, "Welcome to Yundian Ranch!"
