Chapter 231: Brother's Bicycle

Because of the arrival of Miles and Sarah, Amanda gave herself a day off and a day off before going to work again.

Miles stayed at the ranch for another day, and after asking for two bottles of Flowing Fire Collector's Edition, he left contentedly, leaving the two sisters, Sara and Amanda, to play in Qin Yi's ranch.

In the past two days, Qin Yi told Chloe about Daniel as the manager of the winery, making Chloe secretly hate that he was born two years late, otherwise he would have been able to help Qin Yi take care of the industry!

After discussing with the bearded Peter, Qin Yi also won a week of Christmas vacation for Chloe, and in a few days, he could return to the ranch for a reunion.

Christmas gifts, Qin Yi prepared them a long time in advance this time, that is, when he went to the vineyard to make wine, he was just convenient to act alone, picked out a few pieces of jewelry in San Francisco, and even brought the jewelry he bought for his parents and relatives when he went home for the New Year, and he also wrapped it all together!

This morning, Ryan called and said that the original batch of cattle in the ranch could be slaughtered, about a thousand, and asked Qin Yi about his plans.

After receiving this news, Qin Yi was very excited, the main profit pillar of the ranch is naturally beef cattle, but feeding beef cattle is a long-term process, unlike tourism and wine, as long as there are projects and inventory, they can be opened all at once.

Raising cattle has to be done slowly, a beef cow, from birth to slaughter, takes almost nine months to a year, can only be carefully fed, not in the slightest hurry.

Today, the newly purchased 50,000 calves are still a little closer, but some of the cattle that were taken over when the ranch was purchased can be slaughtered.

With the addition of newly-born calves in the past six months, the number of the original herd in the ranch is about 5,000 heads, of which the newborn calves and cows used for breeding are the majority.

The newly grown beef cattle leave behind a number of well-bred cows and bulls to continue to breed as breeding cattle. If you can slaughter, there are only 1,000 heads.

After receiving the news, Qin Yi, like Ryan, first thought of the meat quality of this batch of beef cattle, which is related to the pricing of beef cattle and the income of the ranch. It can even have an impact on the ranch's future business strategy.

However, with the highest premium grade mutton as a guarantee, not only Qin Yi, but also the cowboys of the ranch are also full of confidence in the meat quality of this batch of cattle.

Confidence is naturally indispensable, but the main job now is to obtain a certification certificate first.

So, Qin Yi made the arrangement that everyone expected: slaughter two beef cattle first, part of them with the feeding records, and send them to the Ministry of Agriculture for inspection, and the rest. There are people in the ranch, let's try it together!

Ryan has been a cowboy all his life, so he naturally knows what to do, but Qin Yi is a rancher, and everything needs him to speak!

Now that he has Qin Yi's order, Ryan began to discuss these things.

Originally, Qin Yi thought that he was going to send it to the slaughterhouse, but Ryan explained with a smile. Only then did I know that there was a small-scale slaughter of beef cattle here. They all let people drive the slaughtering cart over, with all the tools on it, and drive the cattle into the slaughtering cart, and the slaughter can be completed in ten minutes.

With Ryan making arrangements, Qin Yi was also relieved, and immediately stopped paying attention. Take the woman and the child and head to the small town of Augusta.

Today, according to Angel's plan, she is going to the second-hand store in the town to donate old clothes, and these unused clothes are still very complete and clean. It's just that the little girl is older, and some of the early clothes are not used, but they are thrown away and wasted, and they can be donated to second-hand stores.

Second-hand stores will put the donated items in the store and sell them at a low price, and if they can't be sold, they will collect and distribute them to the relief station for free to those who are homeless.

After getting out of the car, Angel walked in front with a large bag of old clothes, a little difficult, but the little girl didn't let people help, because today she is the protagonist, everything is hers, and it is also donated in her name, so naturally she has to carry it in by herself.

Sousa and Sara talked as they walked, and they didn't mean to help the little girl with her things. Qin Yi naturally will not interfere, this is the way Susa, who is an American, educates her children, with the purpose of cultivating some beautiful qualities such as independence and helping others.

When I arrived at the door, a parent inside with a child was donating old toys, and when I saw Qin Yi and others coming in, he smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a hello.

Qin Yi and Susa didn't know each other, but they also smiled and nodded in response.

It's not surprising that here in the town, the relationship between people is more friendly and harmonious, and it is normal for strangers to meet and nod their heads.

And Qin Yi is very well-known in the town, most people know him, and it is normal to be greeted by strangers when walking on the street!

When it was Angel's turn, the little girl hugged her hard for a while, and her little face was flushed.

There are two types of counters, adult counters and children's counters, so children can bring things in and are not afraid of not reaching the counter when they put things.

Small design, but very intimate.

The little girl put a bag of clothes on the children's counter, exhaled, and repeatedly brushed her hair like an adult, so cute that Sara couldn't help pinching her little face, provoking her to pout her little mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

Qin Yi and Susa watched and laughed from behind.

Yuri, the owner of the second-hand shop, first smiled and nodded to the adults, then half-squatted down, keeping his eyes at the same height as the little girl, and then in a childish tone, he talked to the little girl while recording the things to be donated, and at the same time appreciating the value of these things.

Soon he opened a small list and gave it to the little girl with a smile, and then the little girl gave it to Susa.

Susa carefully collected it, this small list is still somewhat useful, and when you pay taxes in the future, you can be exempted from a certain percentage of taxes.

In this way, the government encourages people to be thrifty, fraternal and mutually helpful.

After donating the clothes, the little girl looked at the various second-hand goods in the store, and was a little curious, and Sara was also the first time to come to such a store, and looked around with the same curiosity.

So, Qin Yi and Susa were not busy walking, and took two curious babies, one big and one small, to walk around the store.

The owner, Yuri, wanted to introduce them to the store, but at this time, a parent came to the door with children, so he had to receive the children first.

Qin Yi looked at all this, and secretly calculated in his heart, this time, counting his own group, there would be three waves of residents who came to donate, and they all brought their children, it seems that parents are interested in cultivating the children's character of helping others.

In front, the little girl stretched out her little head, looked at it here, and it was rare to be quiet, with a golden shawl hair, there was a little shadow of a little lady.

After a while, the little girl found something of interest—a half-new bicycle, a blue, cartoon-designed seat and armrest, and a fat Garfield.

The little girl liked it very much, her little hand patted the bicycle cushion, and looked up at Susa with her little head: "Mom, can I buy this?" ”

Susa asked strangely, "Don't you have a bicycle?" Leave it for other children to buy, don't waste it! ”

She noticed the price tag, it was only a few dollars, it was really cheap, but the little girl already had one, and she couldn't use it if she bought another one, which was a wasteful behavior, and she couldn't let the little girl develop such a bad habit!

"But"

The little girl blinked her eyes wide, wanting to explain, but looking at the back, she didn't know what Uncle Yi was thinking, and beckoned her little hand to her mother and motioned for her to squat down.

Sousa was a little confused, but still crouched down.

I saw the little girl leaning into her ear, exhaling hot air, and saying something that surprised her: "But, mother, my brother hasn't it yet, I want to buy it for my brother!" I'm going to teach my brother how to ride a bicycle in the future! (To be continued......)
