Chapter 3: My Ranch

This time I came to Australia to take over the ranch, thinking that I was about to start a luxurious life of a rich generation.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he got off the plane, he would face such a large amount of arrears, so that the invisible pressure, like Mount Tai, fell heavily on his shoulders.

After adjusting his mentality, Hu Yang put the focus of the conversation back on the current pasture, and chatted happily with Flender.

Although Flender is a lawyer, he is also very interested in these things. Through his explanation, Hu Yang also has some understanding of foreign agriculture and animal husbandry.

In Australia, a country with a very developed agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, dairy cows and beef cattle are most commonly used in pastures, as well as a large number of horses and sheep.

Generally speaking, the growth cycle of dairy cows is 4~6 months, and they can secrete milk to produce milk, and if the pasture conditions are better and the quality of the pasture is relatively high, it will be much earlier.

Since Australian pastures are mainly free-range, both the freshness of the meat and the nutritional value of the milk are very impressive, which is also the symbol of Australia's main "assured milk".

In addition, according to Flanders, there are also pastures dedicated to raising alpacas, emus, sheep, etc.

Of course, in Australia, no one keeps kangaroos. Because this thing has long been flooded, there is even a cleaning team sent every year to hunt kangaroos.

If you accidentally kill a kangaroo while driving on the highway, as long as you call the relevant departments, someone will naturally come to collect the body, and you will not be punished.

……

As it was close to noon, the car finally entered Wuzhen and drove towards the pasture where it was.

Looking through the car window, I saw a large area of pasture and animals such as cattle and sheep, grazing on it. Many workers in overalls were busy on the grass.

But at this moment, a clear and abnormal picture suddenly appeared in Hu Yang's mind. A herd of sturdy hornless oxen gathered listlessly, while the grass under their feet was faintly yellow.

This scene is very wonderful, Hu Yang seems to be standing in front of them.

His brows furrowed slightly, although it was strange how such a situation could occur, but most of his attention was on the yellowed grass.

"Mr. Flender, there seems to be something wrong with those grasses, and there is a lack of life!" Hu Yang frowned and asked softly.

When Flender heard this, he was very surprised, and said with some surprise: "Yang, you are really powerful, you can see these details from so far away!" ”

Hu Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not explain anything. In fact, this is not what he sees with his eyes, but through some mysterious ability, as if his consciousness is attached to those grasses.

He wouldn't say this kind of weird thing himself, and even if he confessed, Flender, a foreigner, might not believe it.

According to Flender, it hasn't rained here in Wuzhen for a long time. Despite the proximity to the sea, the pastures have been greatly affected, and the most common thing is that the grasses have shown signs of death one after another.

As a result, the appetite of those cattle and sheep began to slowly decrease, and extremely severe anorexia appeared.

In fact, this drought situation is not only affected by a small place like Wuzhen. To be precise, most of New South Wales has experienced severe drought.

As a result, the price of forage has skyrocketed in the last two months, while the price of cattle and sheep has begun to fall sharply, even more than doubling the normal price.

The main reason is that these cattle, sheep and horses are used to eating those tender pastures, and they are not used to replacing them with a kind of spoiled food, and they are all a little uncomfortable. The end result is what is now a mass hunger strike.

To put it bluntly, it's used to it.

Such news is very unfavorable to Hu Yang now. Don't forget, he's still in debt, and he's going to try to make it out within a year when he gets to the ranch.

But in the current form, the story of sending charcoal in the snow did not happen, and the worse things followed.

……

After a short time, the car stopped on the edge of a large empty pasture.

The air in Australia is very fresh, especially in the suburbs, and it is full of the scent of grass that makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

The blue sky, the white clouds that change into various shapes from time to time, everything is so beautiful.

Such a scene is both familiar and unfamiliar to Hu Yang.

For many years, due to heavy pollution in China, smog has gradually posed a serious threat to people's lives and health.

I remember that when he was a child, Hu Yang often ran to the mountains in the countryside with Yuan Ye and a group of other friends, lying in the grass, watching the changes of the white clouds in the sky.

Because at that time, there was no high-tech computer in China, and watching the cloud became one of the few pleasures in their childhood.

Getting out of the car, Hu Yang took a deep breath and said wistfully: "It's been a long time since I've breathed such fresh air!" ”

"Yang, believe me, this air is free, you can breathe as much as you want!" Flender said jokingly.

Hu Yang was not interested in the humorous ways of these foreigners, but nodded with a smile and continued to breathe greedily.

After a while, Flender drove away on the grounds that he "still had a job". Now here, there are only two people left, Hu Yang and Alice.

This foreign chick is still very good overall. With a well-proportioned figure, delicate facial features, and a small round face, it is like a naturally formed Barbie doll.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Alice must first take off her professional clothes and change into casual clothes.

"Yang, I'll take you to see where you live first!" Alice said softly.

Hu Yang naturally had no opinion, nodded and followed Alice, and walked towards the other side of the ranch.

The area of this ranch is large, and it is large enough to cover two football fields.

Just now, Hu Yang tried to release his thoughts, and the result was easily attached to those grasses.

Through observation, it turned out that the ranch had a barren and decaying feeling.

That's right, it's really miserable here. Not to mention that there is not a single cow, sheep and horses to graze, even the signs of withering grass and yellowing are much more serious than those other pastures that are still being tended, as if they can die at any time.

In addition, what made Hu Yang most angry was. The fences that enclose the pastures at the edge have long since been damaged by the wind and rain after years of no repair.

"I really don't understand, what are those so-called management fees charged onto?" Hu Yang couldn't bear to say.

"Yang, don't expect too much from these, after a long time, you will understand!" Alice said noncommittally.

As the two walked forward for more than ten minutes, they saw a row of wooden houses appear in front of them.

In front of these houses, there is a large open space with two tall trees that just block out the sunlight and create a shady area.

On the branches, there are clusters of greenish fruits that look like grapes, and they look fluffy.

According to Alice, this tree is most common in Australia, especially in New South Wales.

Commonly known as the macadamia nut tree, the bunches of grape-like green fruits on top of it are called macadamia nuts, also known as macadamia nuts. This fruit has many uses, and is generally used by locals to make dried nuts, pastries, chocolate, cooking oil, etc., and is known as the 'king of nuts in the world'.

Of course, Hu Yang doesn't understand this, but that doesn't mean he is not interested.

Unbeknownst to Alice, he secretly released his will, and walked quickly along the trunk of the two trees, and after finding nothing new, he retracted his will without interest.

I have to say that since Hu Yang discovered this special ability, he is like a child, he will release his will at every turn, attach it to those plants, and observe the movements around him.

But it's also strange to say, in addition to the use of plants, it seems that it can't be attached to other things, and the scope of exploration is also limited.

Coming to a wooden two-story high Besano, Alice took out the key, opened the door, turned around and said with a smile, "Please come in!" ”

Hu Yang was not polite, nodded and strode in.

The dΓ©cor inside is simple, the living room on the ground floor has only a coffee table and two rows of sofas.

On the left-hand side, there is an open kitchen, very clean and tidy, with a Chinese family style.

Hu Yang reached out and gently touched the sofa and coffee table, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Since it has been uninhabited for a long time, a lot of dust has accumulated.

After visiting the first floor, Hu Yang walked towards the second floor.

The layout and decoration style here are full of European atmosphere.

On either side of the corridor, there are four rooms in total. Pushing them open one by one, there are two bedrooms, a cloakroom, and the last one is a room for storing miscellaneous items.

"Yang, this is my business card and all the keys here, I'll go back first, if you have something, you can contact me at any time!" At that moment, Alice suddenly handed over a bunch of keys and a business card.

Hu Yang frowned slightly, and nodded Mu Ran and said, "I've been bothering you these days, oh, by the way, there doesn't seem to be transportation and taxis here, how can you go back?" ”

"As a lawyer by profession, this little thing is not difficult for me, goodbye!" Alice smiled sweetly, turned around and walked downstairs.

Looking at the figure of Alice, a beautiful foreign girl, suddenly an inexplicable impulse came to his heart, Hu Yang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and watched the other party disappear at the door.
