Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mowing the Grass and the Rabbit's Nest
PS: Spoilers? Do you want it?
Qin Yi got up and poured him a glass of water, and when he came back to see that he was still staring at the burrito, he suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he was not full after eating three?
The pancakes made by Qin Yi are not small, and the meat is also sufficient, ordinary people are full after eating two, this guy eats three in one go, and stares at his own one, he is not afraid of not being able to sleep!
"Still want to eat? If you want to eat it, I'll make it tomorrow morning, don't eat it today, and I'm not afraid of dying! Qin Yi handed over the water, but he didn't pour much, now that he was just full, he shouldn't drink too much water.
"Such a simple burrito, why is it so delicious!" Ye Fang took the water, and it was indeed a little supportive, so let's do it today, and eat it tomorrow!
"Don't drink too much water, take Lai Pi out for a walk first, and eat less." Qin Yi sat down, the rest of the venison was spread on the pancakes, the soup was also poured, rolled up and eaten beautifully, Ye Fang, who saw the side, was greedy, and only felt that he should eat slowly, and taste it slowly!
Ye Fang got up and grabbed Lai Pi on the sofa and went out for a walk!
After eating the burritos and going back to the kitchen to wash up, Qin Yi went out to the wine cellar. The juice had been left for a day, and it was almost clear, Qin Yi planned to put it in the fermentation vat now, so that there would be fruit wine to drink in a week. After making simple cider, plum wine, and big duck pear wine, Qin Yi was mixing several juices again, wanting to see what flavor could be brewed! After working for 1 hour, I went back to the house and saw Ye Fang drinking tea, the two sat down and chatted for a while, and felt that the food was almost gone, so they both went back to the house to take a bath and sleep.
After breakfast, Ryan called, tomorrow the pasture in the west area of the ranch will be harvested, and he will find a few temporary workers to help. Qin Yi was very happy to receive the call, and he could finally try a large lawn mower!
As for finding temporary workers to help, Qin Yi handed over to Ryan to be responsible, Ryan has lived here for so many years, and he still has connections, call Isaac, the owner of the cowboy bar, and he will know it when he says it over there, and the remuneration is slightly higher according to the market standard here, and 60 dollars a day is definitely a lot of people rushing to do it.
Today, Qin Yi didn't take Ye Fang to go outside, the two of them drank beer on the terrace to look at the scenery, enjoyed the leisurely life of the ranch, and enjoyed the sunset in the evening, dyeing the earth golden magnificent.
Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Ryan came over with a few cowboys. Ryan and Burke, as well as the Cooper brothers, are all cowboys on the ranch, and the other cowboys are all seeing each other for the first time, and it seems that they are temporary workers hired by Ryan.
The Cooper brothers are twins, the big Cooper and the little Cooper, both of them are 2 meters tall, with bulging muscles on their bodies, very burly, like an iron tower to that station, their hair is very short, and their faces are full of horizontal flesh that they don't look like good people. In fact, after getting along, you know that these two brothers are stupid big men with straight temperament, they are very righteous, if you treat him well, he will treat you better, among the ranch cowboys, Qin Yi is most impressed by them.
After saying hello, everyone didn't make small talk, Ryan and Burke had one by one, and the other cowboys drove five medium-sized ones, waved their hands and went first.
Qin Yi took Ye Fang and the Cooper brothers, went back to the cellar and carried four barrels of beer, put them on a quad bike and drove them up.
Along the way, the lawn mower buzzed, and after walking for more than an hour, everyone arrived at the ground, and there was no nonsense, and several people on the lawn mower started work directly.
Large lawn mowers can harvest 5,000 acres of grass in a day, medium ones can harvest 2,000 acres, and it takes 4 days to complete the grass harvest in the entire Sun River Ranch. Large lawn mowers are the easiest, and there is basically no need to change people at the end of the day, and medium-sized ones need to be replaced every two hours to rest, after all, the whole process is manual, which is very energy-consuming.
In the middle, Qin Yi also went up to feel it, sitting on the large lawn mower was like sitting on the second floor, driving forward suddenly, full of horsepower, rampage like a monster. After that, I went to the medium-sized lawn mower to experience it, although it couldn't catch up with the large ones, but condescendingly watching the grass fall down, it felt absolutely not bad, but after an hour of driving, the freshness passed, and the rest was only boring!
In summer, the stubble left by the grass is relatively short, Qin Yi looked at the harvested pasture, there were 8 or 9 centimeters left, if it was left in winter, it would be high, and when the last stubble of the pasture was harvested, it was left more than ten centimeters, because the grass stopped growing in winter, and some nutrients should be left for the pasture to survive the winter.
At noon, Susie and Ricky came over to deliver lunch, which was very simple, barbecue, burgers, salads, and coffee, all in a large pot, served in an insulated box. Susie and Ricky had just moved out of lunch and had been working all morning, and the cowboys who had been rumbling their stomachs had gathered around and nibbled on barbecue and burgers!
After lunch, Qin Yi didn't continue to stay here, and the lawn mower was also experienced, if he really stayed to mow the grass, he would definitely not be able to stand this boring work!
Took Ye Fang back to the main house, opened the door, Lai Pi was lying on the sofa looking at this side, remembering that he hadn't fed Lai Pi yet, this guy slept lazily every morning, and had two meals a day, at noon and at night. However, although the number of meals is small, there are a lot of foods, each time I eat a big apple, and then eat some improved alfalfa hay that Qin Yi got back, and most of them sleep after eating, never go for a run, and the whole body is round and round.
Ye Fang touched Lai Pi's head, went back to the house to take a bath, and Qin Yi went to find food for Lai Pi.
There are not many fruits in the refrigerator, this time the apples in the space, Qin Yi took them out to make wine, and he forgot to keep some at that time, but fortunately, the fruit trees will ripen in these two days, so there is no need to worry about interrupting!
took out a big apple and fed it to Lai Pi, Qin Yi remembered that he said a few days ago that he wanted to make a nest for Lai Pi, and these two days he took Ye Fang to the pasture, but he forgot that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he made a nest for Lai Pi in the afternoon.
went to the warehouse to look around, but didn't find a suitable plank, left the leaves at home to play with Lai Pi, Qin Yi drove to Augusta Supermarket to look for it. When I arrived at the supermarket and asked the salesperson, Qin Yi followed the instructions to the pet kennel area, and there were all kinds of nests in the eyes, including cottages with the appearance and color of big apples, wooden houses, and pet villas!
Seeing Qin Yi's sigh, Nima has so many tricks in a kennel!
In addition to the nest, there are also small boards of various materials, Qin Yi didn't choose the nest, chose some suitable boards, and went back to make a hut for Lai Pi by himself.
Back at the ranch, Qin Yi went back to the room and took out the computer, searching for the design model of the pet kennel in the living room, and Ye Fang was also watching curiously. After turning over for a long time, I saw a lot of beautiful ones, but unfortunately it was either too troublesome to do, or it was not suitable for Laipi. Come to think of it, it's still that big apple nest is Rapi's dish, and Rapi likes to eat big apples the most!
It's time to make a big apple, and with a decision, Qin Yi began to do it.
Lai's body is almost 30 centimeters long, Qin Yi thought about it, it should be good to make a 50 centimeter wide nest, and the space is large and comfortable. I went to the warehouse and took out my tools, and I started working on the lawn in front of the house, first cutting out four 50-centimeter squares of wood, then nailing the bottom of the nest and the planks around it, choosing one side as the front, and digging out a small circular door with a diameter of 20 centimeters on it.
Ye Fang looked at it and laughed: "Aren't you going to make a big apple." How did you make a dice? ”
Qin Yi shook his head proudly: "Haha, you just look at it!" "I got up and went back to the house, leaving a confused leaf to put.
After a while, Qin Yi came back again, holding a small white and red blanket in his hand, and a pillow.
Ye Fang looked puzzled: "Is this going to make a bed for Lai Pi?" ”
Qin Yi smiled without saying a word, spread a white blanket inside the nest, then nailed the roof of the nest, wrapped the red blanket around the nest, and finally, took out the pillow cotton and stuffed it between the wooden board and the red blanket, until the whole appearance looked round and like an apple!
Ye Fang, who looked at the side, was speechless, so it was okay to do this
But look at it now, it's white inside, red skin outside, it's really round, it's just missing an apple stalk! I was about to express my opinion, but I saw Qin Yi pick up the chainsaw and cut off a wooden strip, the environmentally friendly paint that had been prepared a long time ago, sprayed up and down, and the wooden strip turned green, okay, Ye Fang didn't say anything, and this apple stalk was also there.
Qin Yi laughed, packed up the things and put them back in the warehouse, and carried the apples into the house.
Back inside, the Apple House was placed next to the closet and Rippy was picked up from the couch to see his new home.
"Laipi, this is your new home, and you will sleep in it in the future, do you know?" Qin Yi touched Lai Pi's head and taught earnestly!
Lai Pi was very happy to see a big apple, two front paws, patted here and scratched there, and walked around twice before getting into the small round hole, and after a while, he showed his head and squeaked at Qin Yi, probably because he liked his new home very much, and he slept directly in it!
"It seems that Raippi likes it very much, and your craftsmanship is not in vain!" Ye Fang sat on the sofa and drank coffee.
"That is, with our hands-on ability, that absolute genius is rare in a hundred years!" Qin Yi poured himself a cup and drank it slowly. "I haven't heard you say anything yet, how is the business?"
"I just put up the shelf, the company has been registered in China and here, and the procedures are easy to get, but the talent is not easy to find, I recruited a manager, and other employees are slowly looking for it!"
For the next few days, the two of them rode horses and fished. 4 days later, after the grass was harvested and dried, it was bundled and sent to the barn for storage, and when the salary was settled for the temporary workers, Qin Yi gave an additional bonus of 50 US dollars, and several temporary workers praised Qin Yi loudly for being a good person! 50 US dollars, Qin Yi doesn't care, the reputation spreads, and it is a matter of one sentence to recruit people in the future.
The next morning, Ye Fang was going back, the company had just been established, and there were many things to do, Qin Yi sent him to Augusta Airport and watched the plane take off before leaving.
Remembering that there was a lack of a lot of Chinese spices at home, Qin Yi planned to go to Augusta Supermarket to find them, but he didn't have much hope, there was the best, and he would go shopping in this small city if he didn't.
I looked around the supermarket, and sure enough, I didn't see the ingredients and seasonings with Chinese characteristics, so it seems that I still have to go to the Great Falls City! Since you want to go, let's go now, Qin Yi doesn't want to run again another day.
After driving for more than 1 hour, I arrived at the Great Falls City and found a large supermarket, sure enough, there were a lot of Chinese ingredients, tofu, sausages, ducks, mustard, etc., Qin Yi decided to make a big purchase, these things were moved in boxes, and the fat saleswoman was stunned, what is this going to do, is the end of the world coming?
Qin Yi didn't care about her, after moving the ingredients, he went back to find Huaxia ingredients, what peppercorns, star anise, take a catty, settle the account, ask the salesman to help him move everything to the pickup, and drove away from the supermarket.
Before leaving, Qin Yi wrote down the name of the supermarket, Smith Supermarket, well, come back if you need to come back in the future!
pps: Ye Fang's branch line is over, a new branch line is coming, and it will be updated at 12 noon tomorrow!
