Ju An drove the car towards Teddy Ranch, while Wang Fan put his foot next to the front glass of the car, tilted his head and put a hat on his head and was sleeping, and snoring softly.

Seeing that the shadow of Redlodge was slowly showing not far away, Ju An pushed Wang Fan who was asleep with his hand: "Wake up!" It's almost time to Teddy Ranch! ”。

"Huh?!" Wang Fan rubbed his eyes, pulled his foot off the front, and looked at the front of the car: "It's here so soon!" ”。

"You've been asleep for almost two hours," Ju An said to Wang Fan.

"I just feel like a while," Wang Fan looked out the car window. All around was a white expanse of snow, shining silver in the sun, and after looking at it twice, Wang Fan took out sunglasses from his pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose.

After about ten minutes of driving, a fence appeared on the side of Ju'an, some of the wooden stakes were still brand new, and there were signs hanging on them from time to time, private territory! Don't break in! There was also a bear's head sign next to it, and Juan knew that this was his teddy ranch. But now it's just the periphery of the ranch, and the gate of the ranch is not far from Redlodge.

Wang Fan also saw the sign, pointed and said with a smile: "Hey! This is to your ranch, and you said that you would not open a door here, and you would have to take a detour! ”。

"How about opening a door here?" Ju An glared at Wang Fan: "Do you like to drive around the ranch?" Even if there is no heavy snowfall, the knee-high pasture cart is so easy to walk? It's not as convenient as this kind of road."

Wang Fan looked at the pasture on Ju'an's side, the whole area was empty, there were only scattered forests, but on the other side of the pasture, halfway up the mountainside, between the snow, patches of vibrant green were revealed.

Ju'an drove for a while, arrived at the gate of Teddy Ranch, now the gate has been renovated, four forty or fifty centimeters of thick wooden shelves have a large wooden sign, which reads Teddy Ranch, between the big round Teddy's head pattern, the sign is propped up into an arch, more than ten meters on both sides of the gate are five-layer brown wooden fences, which looks quite good.

Waiting for Ju An to drive the car into the ranch, Wang Fan smiled at Ju An and said, "This gate is good, much better than the gate of Xishui River."

"The gate of the stream has been changed, you just didn't look at it!" Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and said.

Wang Fan looked at Ju An: "Changed?" I didn't enter through the gate of the Xishui River Ranch, what did it look like? ”。

"Very nice! It's better than this, you'll find out when you go and see it," Ju An said to Wang Fan. Jean Ju'an can't describe Ju'an, why? Ju'an himself hasn't seen it, now it's a helicopter all day long, and the gate is basically at the end of the ranch, and now Ju'an's residence is still a little east from the center of the ranch, and he doesn't have a chance to see the new gate of the ranch.

Drove the car into the ranch and drove for nearly five minutes, only then came to the side of the ranch building, because the ranch has not yet been officially opened, there are not many people, the manager of the ranch Mark heard the sound of the car to the door.

Ju An stopped the car, walked out, and said hello to Mark: "Mark! How are you? ”。

"I'm fine! boss！ Mark said with a smile on Juan. Seeing Wang Fan jumping out of the car, Ju An hurriedly introduced: "This is my friend, come over and have fun, you can call him Fan!" ”。 Then he introduced Wang Fan: "This is Mark, the manager of Teddy Ranch."

Mark and Ju'an Wang Fan finished greeting, and walked towards the ranch's office with two people, and when they entered the office, Ju'an looked around a little, Ju'an would not be resident here, so the ranch did not prepare a two-story building as before, but built a large square building, and a large conference table in the middle was both a living room and a conference room.

Mark said to Ju'an: "There are four bedrooms in this house, I have already sorted out one, and I will soon sort out another one and I can live in it." After speaking, he walked to the side with Ju An and pushed the door open.

Ju An and Wang Fan walked in, there is nothing to say around, the wooden wall, with the original wood grain, and even clearly see the dark scars of the trees on the wall, the right hand of the door is a double-open cabinet, reserved for hanging clothes, not far away is a double wooden bed, now there are blankets and pillows on it, next to it is a window, more than two meters away on one side of the bed is a frosted glass sliding door, which is estimated to be a bathroom, next to the sliding door is a small desk There is also a lamp.

"Mr. Thomas said you won't stay here very often, so your room is a little simpler, and the other three rooms are pretty much the same," Mark explained to Juan.

Ju An smiled and nodded: "That's pretty good." Then he asked Mark, "Was the snowstorm two days ago very destructive to the ranch?" ”。

"It's not influential, we have mountains on both sides here, and the blizzard is already very weak here," Mark explained to Ju'an: "Fortunately, we are building a new house now, and if it is still the previous building, the weakened wind will easily blow the roof off, and the previous suggestion house will not be able to withstand this blizzard."

"So how much has the ranch been completed now? Take me to see it tomorrow morning" Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and said to Mark, Wang Fan was sitting on the edge of the big bed, trying to press the mattress, and was feeling the comfort of the bed.

Mark nodded: "Now we have made a progress sandbox, you can take a look."

Progress sandbox? Ju An's interest suddenly became intrigued: "Take me to see". Wang Fan heard that there was a sand table, and he also stood up from the bed.

Mark took Ju An to the room where the sand table was placed, the whole room was not large, there was a desk and two chairs in it, and a sand table was placed opposite the table against the wall, looking at the photo on the desk, Ju An knew that this was Mark's ranch manager's office.

Ju'an stood in front of the sand table, it was indeed very intuitive, the whole long pasture was surrounded by a fence the thickness of a thin match pole, which was more beautiful than the real pasture fence, and now there were two groups of buildings on the pasture, and in the middle of the two groups of buildings was a long artificial pond.

Mark pointed to the house on the model and explained: "This is our current building, the building on the other side will not start until the beginning of spring, and the big lake in the center has been completely dug up, but now it is frozen and covered with heavy snow."

Ju An looked at the fact that there were several large square warehouses next to each cowboy housing area, and as soon as he approached here in the car, Ju An saw it, pointed and asked: "This is the forage storage warehouse of the ranch, this is really big enough."

Mark smiled and nodded and said, "After the cattle come in, they have to transport green storage forage from the Xishui River Ranch every winter, and there must be a warehouse." Saturating more than 90,000 cows with a few months' worth of fodder is not a small number.

"The first batch of cattle will be shipped in the spring, how are you preparing here?" Ju An, as the owner of the ranch, finally asked a question to the sidelines.

"There's nothing to do now, I discussed it with Mr. Thomas, the cowboys take turns to rest, one comes to the ranch for a week and then rests for a week, taking care of the hundreds of sheep in the ranch, about the first batch of cattle, Mr. Thomas considered the first batch of more than 9,000 heads of more than a dozen people in the ranch can take care of it, and the ranch is going to hire another batch of cowboys at the beginning of the spring, while adapting to the ranch while waiting for the second batch of cattle to arrive" Marco glanced at Ju'an, and seemed to be a little apprehensive about working for a week and letting go for a week.

Ju'an doesn't care about all this, and there is nothing to do with the cowboys tied up in the ranch? These cowboys are idle for nothing more than two things, drinking and fighting, what else can they do, put it back, and then said to Mark: "You know that there is a cattle theft in Xishuihe Ranch, you must pay attention to this situation when the cow comes, don't you know if the cow is stolen, and there will be some security guards coming over at that time, and the house is ready, right?" ”。

"Here!" Mark pointed to a clearing on the continent near the edge of the ranch and said: "When the spring begins, I will arrange to build the security camp as soon as possible, as soon as the cattle arrive at the camp, it should be almost the same, the first few security guards to move in is no problem at all, I already know about the cattle theft, and I am ready to follow what Mr. Thomas said, the cowboys are equipped with guns when grazing, let those bastards know that our cowboys are not easy to mess with!" ”。

Looking at more than half of the area on the sand table that was paved with green, Ju An asked, "Is this half of the water supply of the ranch automated?" ”。

"Hmm!" Mark nodded and smiled happily and said: "Now the completion is about three-fifths of the area, the pipeline is underground, and then only two or three administrators can carry out the irrigation operation of the entire ranch through the computer system, and now the surrounding pastures are not more advanced than our irrigation, if you wait until the beginning of spring, the boss has time to come and take a look, the entire ranch irrigation is really beautiful, and there is a faint mist as far as the eye can see." When it comes to the irrigation system, Mark is happier the more he talks: "In the past, our cowboys envied the irrigation of the pasture next to us, but now others envy us, and now some cowboys in the town are starting to ask when our ranch will hire people again!" ”。

Listening to Mark's words, Ju An also nodded with satisfaction, the tens of millions of dollars spent have seen the effect, more than 90,000 acres of irrigation system was taken out of Ju An's pocket more than 10 million US dollars, much higher than the original plan, on the one hand, Ju'an's great success, on the other hand, it can't stop Ju'an's pocket has a lot of cash, and Ju'an is not distressed when he smashes it on his own ranch, in the words of his old father-in-law Marcos, Ju'an is a typical loser, and he never thinks about what people can do with bank loans.

Ju An laughs every time he hears it, and he doesn't spend it to keep the government collecting taxes? It's better to smash them all into your own ranch, improve the efficiency of the ranch and save a lot of income tax, killing two birds with one stone.

After listening to the manager of the ranch for a while, it was time to eat, and the ranch was nothing, onions with his own lamb chops. The ranch hired a chef to cook, of course, not a chef or something, it is an ordinary housewife who lives in Redlodge, and the daily task in the future is to take care of the cattle dog in the pasture, eating the cattle dog cook's meal, it sounds a little awkward, the craftsmanship is really good, the lamb chops are roasted tender and delicious, the sheep breed is of course transported from the stream river, and the sheep have been cultivated for several generations, and the meat quality is not comparable to ordinary sheep.
