"Hey, Hanks, I didn't expect you to eat these things without hesitation, did you taste these delicious foods before?" The first thing Shi Lei found was of course Hanks, who was the head of the ranch and was also the much-anticipated director.

"Yes, I've eaten these things before. I've been on a mission for a while on the Midi warship, right across the Gulf, and you know there was a time when people like us needed to deal with special situations.

Although we were bored on that warship for most of the year, we did try a lot of foodie food, especially Kane, who was on the team, and at his instigation, we tried a lot of strange foods from foodie countries.

For example, stinky tofu, such as today's two dishes, I also tried to eat fish head, fried scorpion and snake meat or something, you know, in the process of survival training for troops like ours, these things are always indispensable.

Since we had Kane, we have learned that snakes, scorpions, and so on, these things can still be so delicious, and after that, we no longer resist any strange food from foodie countries, and even we have tried all things like dog meat hot pot.

Today's two dishes are rare delicacies, I haven't eaten them for a long time, I have to say that you are so happy, you have a mother who cooks so well. Hanks smiled and explained that the reason why he ate these things without hesitation was that he could only say the charm of foodie food! It's unstoppable.

"Oh? Hanks, you have a lot of energy. Also, I'd like to say you're lucky to have a big foodie like Chef Kane on the team who can turn everything into a treat. Don't be like Bell at the top of the food chain? Like Mr. Grylls, he will deal with everything he catches, and he will always say 'chicken flavor, crunchy' when he eats everything. Shi Lei smiled and patted Hanks on the shoulder.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to meet Kane, a hidden culinary. A lot of his skills have helped us a lot. Whether it's in combat or life, he's really an all-rounder, and now you have this trend, are you big foodies so versatile?

As for guys like Bell, I don't think it's hard to find a few of them in SAS, and I'm not saying that they can survive in the wild like Bell, but that their dietary requirements are really low, very low. Hanks said this with a look of recollection.

"You know, we're on a mission. Sometimes I work with people at SAS. The team that went on the mission with us made us understand why they were able to have a guy like Bale, and it was definitely not accidental.

Do you know how unpalatable John Bull's food is, they always have only french fries and fish nuggets in their diet, a pile of fish that never tastes good, and French fries that are neither fragrant nor crispy, I don't know how they have been able to eat them for so many years?

After decades of eating this kind of thing that can't be called a dish at all, they can survive to eat those things and eat the taste of chicken. It's completely understandable that John Bull is such a tenacious creature. At least when it comes to eating, they are really tenacious. ”

Hanks's heart-wrenching spit was unaware of when they were with John Bull's elite troops. What kind of devastation has been experienced, and this resentment is still so deep.

However, Shi Lei thinks about the English he learned from elementary school, it seems that only fish and chips are British, and the other dumplings seem to be foreign words. It's not John's Bull's own stuff at all, so it's no wonder their streets are full of restaurants with foreign cuisine, because the word "dish" is used to describe John's Bull's diet. It's simply an insult to the dish.

Finally holding back his laughter, Shi Lei and Hanks got down to business.

"Hanks, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. You know, now the development of Stone Ranch has ushered in the opportunity to take off, after this summer specialty food exhibition, Stone Ranch can be said to be fame and fortune, and has become a first-class brand in the food industry in one fell swoop.

But our current output is obviously no longer able to meet the demand for more and more orders, and I think it won't be long before our output can't catch up with the demand of various restaurants.

It's definitely not a very comfortable feeling to watch a lot of money slip away in front of you, especially when you only need to bend down and put it in your pocket. Shi Lei looked at Hanks seriously.

"Yes, I also think it's time to expand the scale of the stone pasture, our livestock herd needs to be further expanded, but the current stock has basically reached the limit of the stone ranch.

Unless we give up grazing and switch to captivity or simple fattening, then we can save a lot of space and put more livestock. However, in that case, the quality of the ingredients will inevitably be reduced. ”

Hanks said helplessly. If we consider it only within the scope of stone pastures, it is impossible to balance the need to expand the scale and pursue quality.

"Of course I know the situation of the Stone Ranch, and now that you have done your best, we have even exceeded the proportion of one large livestock on an acre of meadow, and it is thanks to your careful management that the Stone Ranch would not have been able to run so well.

I definitely wouldn't blindly pursue quantity at the expense of the quality of the ingredients, which is destroying the foundation of the stone pasture.

My idea is that I plan to open two or three new large ranches, depending on our needs in the later stages of development, and of course continue to expand if necessary.

Then each ranch raises a single type of livestock, such as some special grazing beef cattle, some raising dairy cows. Of course, how to divide this will also be determined according to the area of the new pasture and the environment where the livestock are suitable for raising.

Now I'm pretty sure we will have a large ranch dedicated to raising beef cattle, and this ranch will definitely be the largest of all the ranches, because the demand for beef will definitely be the largest, and beef cattle will also be the most important fist product of the stone ranch. The herd of beef cattle on this farm will not be less than 10,000 heads, and these are the goals of my plan.

I ask you because I want to ask for your opinion. I want you to be fully responsible for the management of this cattle ranch, you will have full management rights there, I will only give you bonuses based on the output of the ranch, I basically don't care about anything else. Because you are the most suitable and capable person in my opinion, I fully believe in you as a person.

It's just that this ranch will definitely not be within the scope of California, and the big ranch here is really expensive, and I can't find anyone willing to sell.

You're going to be separated from Elton that way, so I'm going to have to ask you what you mean, do you want to run a ranch like this? Shi Lei looked at Hanks expectantly. Hanks is definitely someone to be trusted. There is enough loyalty and enough ability to manage such an important ranch.

"Since you can trust me, then I will definitely manage this ranch for you." Hanks lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said firmly to Shi Lei.

"As for Elton's side......" Hanks looked up at Elton's direction in the field with a little hesitation, "His mind is all on how to breed horses, it doesn't matter if I'm by my side or not, it's just that he pounces on the horse and doesn't talk much, I hope Shi Lei you don't mind." I'm sure he'll be a good breeder. Hanks said earnestly.

"Of course, I'm also convinced that Elton will be a good breeder, the best of the best. He's a horse idiot and that's what I appreciate the most about him, for such serious people. I have nothing but admiration.

I trust him in breeding horses as much as I believe you will take care of the ranch, and he will not let you or me down. Rest assured. Shi Lei finished seriously and patted Hanks on the shoulder.

For the difference with Elton. In fact, Hanks is not particularly sad, and he can get the forgiveness of his family and be their father again. Hanks was already satisfied. As for not being able to live with their children, this is a very normal thing in Midi, generally children will go out to live their own lives when they become adults, and there are very few who often stay together, and more elderly people have to take care of themselves by themselves, or rely on social pension.

So for this parting, Hanks was entangled for a while, and his heart became calm, but he was a little relieved about Elton, a son who was wooden by nature.

Now that Hanks, the most important person, has done it here, Shi Lei didn't talk to anyone else about similar things, because how other ranches are organized and how the scale is still uncertain, Shi Lei doesn't want to make promises to a few ideal candidates and turn around and can't fulfill them, so it is easy for people to deviate.

So Shi Lei just turned around a few times, chatted with a few guys, and deepened his relationship with the cowboys by the way, especially the new cowboys, there are a few Shi Lei who can't even tell the name, and this situation can't continue.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Shi Lei shouted again, calling everyone to go to find the monkey together, this time the cowboys were active, and the children who were basically only the fruit fruit were looking forward to the horse, and when they saw that the fruit was going to go, they also shouted one by one to catch the monkey.

Shi Lei told everyone what precautions to take place, and then let everyone disperse and go home to prepare their own equipment, and gather in the woods.

Shi Lei put on his tactical clothes, tucked his trousers into his boots, and then brought his own trekking poles to facilitate the use of exploring the road in front and scaring the snakes. In addition, he took out many of his tactical flashlights.

In addition to the relatively large brightness in his hand, everyone else has basically been adjusted to a small brightness, to know that the monkey does not need much brightness, so it costs electricity, and Shi Lei's is also for the convenience of leading the way in front of the head.

When Shi Lei's family arrived at the edge of the woods, everyone had almost gathered. Everyone shouted, and they scattered and walked towards the forest, just taking this opportunity to exercise their own children, so this activity was more like a parent-child activity.

Looking at the posture of the bears and children, you can know that you don't have to expect much to gain this time. But anyway, it's just a game, and if you catch it, you keep it for yourself, so it doesn't matter if you catch more or less.

Shi Lei was pulling the grass with trekking poles in front, and at the same time, he also had to pay attention to not any snakes and other animals that traveled at night to cause harm to his family.

Don't say it, Shi Lei really found some good things. (To be continued......) R1292
