Chapter 494: The price is high

Following Ju'an's sight, everyone also looked fascinated by the scenery in front of them, and watched silently, the whole world was only left with the fragrance of flowers and the sea of flowers and the blue sky, the warm spring sun shone on the body, so that the whole body was warm, only the horse under the crotch snorted from time to time, stretched out its head and nibbled on the thick roots of the fern that had become full of moisture.

"Boom~~~!" The quart horse under the crotch neighed, pulled several people back from the beautiful scenery, Quart under the crotch of Ju'an was a little irritable, knocked on the ground from time to time, shook his head, and the mane on his neck that was cut into a palm rolled up with the horse's neck swaying, gently patted the horse's neck, comforted the mount, and followed the direction of the horse's head, he saw a bright red king snake coiled on the stone, coiled into a ball, slightly raised his head and stuck out his tongue in the direction of the horse.

Ju An recognized the snake when he saw it, he had raised it in the space, turned over and got off the horse, walked to the stone, and stretched out his hand to the king snake.

"Be careful! This snake is big, it's dangerous not to let him get around your neck," Dinah said to Juan.

Ju An stretched out his hand, the king snake sensed Ju An's breath, and immediately wrapped around Ju An's hand, on Ju An's arm, wrapped into a ball, Ju An gently touched the head of the king snake with his fingers, smiled at Dinah and said: "I still bought these snakes, there were rattlesnakes and the like in the ranch, I started the idea of these snakes, and I don't know how many rattlesnakes are left in the ranch now."

Dinah grew up in the countryside, Cora was a female policeman, and the two women looked at the king snake on Ju An's forearm and didn't say anything, but Miles, the big man, saw that the fiery red king snake's face changed a little. Said to Ju An: "Hurry up and let this thing go!" I've been afraid of this stuff since I was a kid. When I see these snakes swimming in the water or in the grass, I get hairy on my back! ”。

"Haha!" Ju An laughed twice. After walking more than ten steps to the front, he walked to another big stone and wanted to put the king snake on it, unfold the fiery king snake and put it on the stone, this unfolding, Ju An found that the fiery red king snake had grown to more than one and a half meters long. As soon as the king snake reached the stone, it stuck out its tongue in Ju'an's direction and swam away along the smooth stone.

The four people who were interrupted by the king snake to look at the scenery simply rode their horses and ran again, running and stopping for about ten minutes. Not far away appeared a herd of cattle, but instead of the gray or white that Ju'an used to see, it was now black and white. Next to the herd, a few cowboys were riding on horses and watching the herd.

Seeing Ju An and his party coming over, one of the cowboys gently touched his fingers: "Hello! BOSS!”。 The two cowboys next to him were stunned when they heard this, and they also nodded to Ju An: "BOSS!"

Probably the two cowboys next to him were hired from behind, and if he hadn't seen an Asian man riding a horse and running wild in the pasture, he would have known that it was Ju'an. It's too hard to expect these cowboys to remember one Asian face at a time, just like we look at the foreigner, and the foreigner looks at us the same.

"Hello everyone!" Juan waved at the cowboys, then pointed at Dinah and said, "This is my wife." These two are my friends".

Dinah nodded at the three cowboys.

Ju An rode on his horse and looked at the cows, and found that some of the cows actually fell directly to the ground. Tilting his head directly to eat grass, he was suddenly surprised, this cow's strength is very similar to his buddy, and he is too lazy to be enough. Pointing to the cows lying down, he asked a few cowboys, "Cows now have no problem eating thick ferns?"

"Well, now these little cows have adapted to the taste of coarse root ferns, and gradually like it, and when these cows start to produce milk next year, we will know, anyway, the female professor I heard said that our coarse root ferns can already provide enough nutrients for cows" The first cowboy who greeted Ju An said to Ju An with a smile.

"Miss Jennifer is on the ranch too?" Juan asked Cowboy. Jennifer is the cow expert who was invited, don't look at such an age, as long as you are not married, Lao Mei has to call Miss here, anyway, no matter how old you are without a ring on your hand, it is always right to call Miss, unlike the word Miss in China has specifically referred to women who have lost their footing, this advanced way of calling has not yet been passed on to Lao Mei, as for whether you can come to Ju'an in the future, I don't know.

The cowboy nodded, "Miss Jennifer has been here for a month, and she came here when the cows were brought in, and she should have gone back to Montana by now."

Ju An was a little embarrassed to hear this, he had basically not been to Hans Ranch during the festival, if Leonard hadn't asked Ju An to come to see the flowers, Ju An wouldn't have planned to come. It's really unreasonable to say that my boss is not as diligent as others to engage in cows, and then I thought: No, the boss should be a buddy, and everyone else does everything that is the boss.

Then I thought of a buddy who made architectural display drawings in China before, Ju An praised him for his good work, and this buddy replied to Ju An: It's good to draw pictures, and you have to eat until you are old! At that time, Ju'an was very envious of more than 10,000 people a month, but now that I think about it, what this guy said is the truth.

After adjusting her mood and smiling, Dinah next to her asked the cowboys, "Are all the cows in the ranch here?" Didn't you say thousands, this is estimated to be just over a thousand, right? ”。

"Hmmm! Now there are more than 5,000 heads, divided into several points and stocked, we have more than 1,000 heads here, and there are four more points, and now the area of coarse root ferns occupies less than half of the pasture, but now the expansion is not as cumbersome as it was at the beginning, Professor Leonard talked to us, it is estimated that the whole pasture will be full of coarse root ferns by March next year at the latest, and if you come back in September this year, you can see cows everywhere" Cowboy said with a smile to Dinah. It can be seen that these cowboys are still full of expectations for cows to spread all over the pasture.

After chatting with the cowboys for a while, the four of them rode towards the ranch house. When he got to the house of the pasture, he dismounted, bolted the reins directly to the stake, and let the horses graze everywhere.

Dinah said to Juan, "I slept a little short on the plane, and I'm a little sleepy now, let Leonard take us to the room to rest."

Ju An looked at Dinah, the daughter-in-law was a little tired, several people were very excited when they looked at the flowers just now, and they couldn't see it, but now there was a clear tiredness on their faces, looking at Cora, and then looking at Miles, it is estimated that he didn't sleep much on the plane, and now he is almost napping.

"Then you wait here, I'll ask where Leonard's room is," he said, walking towards Leonard's office and dormitory.

I knocked a few times at the door, but no one inside answered, and I stuck my head out and looked through the window, and there was no one inside! Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone and call the old man, a cowboy next to him came over on horseback and said to Ju An, "BOSS! Professor Leonard has gone to observe the expansion of the thick root fern, do you want me to call him back?" ”。

"No need, I'll just make a phone call" Ju An smiled at the cowboy and shook the phone in his hand: "I just want to ask him where we are staying tonight, my wife and two friends are a little tired."

"Your room is in the back three," said the cowboy as he sat on horseback and pointed to Juan behind his back, "I saw that the door was painted blue, it was that room, and then the three rooms were the rooms that Mr. Rand had prepared for you!" ”。

Ju An stretched out his head to look at it and understood, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, said thank you to the cowboy, and then turned his head and waved his hand to Dinah's side: "Come here!" ”。

With a few people pushed open the door, look at the luggage next to the door to know who is whose room, put Dina a few in the room to rest, sleep well, now there is no sleepiness, of course there is no interest in sleeping, riding a horse to see the cowboy who gave the road to Juan just now asked where Leonard is, and ran in the direction of the cowboy's finger.

It took more than ten minutes to find Leonard and a few people, and now the old man was chatting with Rand, the director of the ranch, when he saw Ju An riding over on horseback, and stopped and smiled at Ju An.

When they got to the old man and Rand, they dismounted. Wrap the reins around the saddle and make two turns, and a standard buckle appears on the stake head of the saddle.

"You don't take a break after taking a plane for so long?" Leonard asked with a smile at Juan.

Ju An waved his hand when he listened, and then looked up at the situation, the current rough-rooted fern has grown here, a crooked line, one side is a rough-rooted fern full of flowers, and the other is a bare wasteland with shrubs, it can also be said that one side is the future of the pasture and the other is the past of the pasture, the two are distinct.

"I don't think there are many of these shrubs left in the pasture, how did they all get rid of them or how did they get them?" Juan asked, pointing to a half-tall bush not far away.

Leonard said with a smile: "I haven't cleaned it up, it's the thick roots of the fern that are too domineering, the roots absorb too much water, as long as they grow next to these shrubs, they will occupy the water source of these shrubs, and these plants will die in a few months, so we don't need to clean them up."

Ju An smiled and nodded, and said secretly in his heart: This is a complete inheritance of the characteristics of space, space grass is so domineering, as long as it grows in a place where ordinary plants want to grow, it is really how difficult it is.

Looking at the bushes not far away, Ju An remembered something, pointed to Leonard and Rand in the distance and said: "Now the owner of the land over there is ready to sell, more than 300,000 acres I have asked Guillen to talk to him, his price is 10 million, and the highest price I can accept in the end is 8 million, it is estimated that the possibility of buying it is half to half, if we can buy it, from here all the way to Lake Mead is our place."

"The price of eight million is still high," Rand thought for a moment and said to Ju An. (To be continued.) )
