Returning to the ranch, Wei Da's life seems to have returned to peace, for him, such a leisure and comfortable life is tantamount to a vacation, if it weren't for riding horses and shooting guns every day, of course, including some martial arts and the like recently, maybe Wei Da will continue to grow fat in such a life.

This person, sometimes he is really not satisfied, and there are some people who do not have enough hearts to swallow elephants. Wei Da now lives a very leisurely and comfortable life, and now he can eat large pieces of beef every day, which he couldn't believe before. But now Wei Da is still not satisfied, eating beef every day, Wei Da feels that he really doesn't have much interest in beef now.

"I'm going to buy some river prawns, braised prawns, steamed prawns, and saltwater prawns" Wei Da, who was sitting on the sofa, was busy thinking about his thoughts, that is, thinking about eating; Although there are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden now, this can't satisfy your appetite, and you are a rich man, so you can't treat yourself badly when you eat.

Wei Da also felt that he had to make good use of some of the environment of his ranch, there was a small pond in the pasture, although it was not big, but it was enough to raise some shrimp and the like; Of course, I want to raise shrimp, because my own ranch is still a little far from the town, and if I want to eat shrimp, I will go to the town to buy it, and the shrimp money may not be able to offset the gasoline money, and if you raise some shrimp, then it will be convenient to eat shrimp in the future.

Weida stumbled out of the stable and rode towards the pond; This is a pond about half an acre in size, and the estimated depth of the water is one or two meters. Although there are many times in Texas, there are many times in Texas, but now Weida has also laid the irrigation system for pastures, also because as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still dig some irrigation canals.

Abilene has the direct flow of the Brazos River and the direct flow of the Colorado River, although digging aqueducts and the like still requires some approvals and the like, but that's what costs money; Anyway, the ranch is not very far from these rivers, and even the north of his ranch is next to the Brazos River, so Weida is still confident that he will ensure that the water of the pasture is sufficient after drawing some money.

Looking at the situation of the pond, it is basically some rainwater accumulation, of course, it is also because the current Weida does not allow anyone to pollute the water source at all, so the water quality of the current pond is still very good. The bottom of the clean and clear water can also see some aquatic plants, and Weida is also very happy now; According to his current cultivation of some simple aquatic products, it should still be possible to raise some shrimp.

Money is a person's guts, and Weida is still relatively wealthy now, so it's good to spend some money to try it a little; Anyway, Wei Da estimates that he will renovate the pond a little, and it will not cost more than $10,000 at most to buy shrimp seedlings and the like, so it is also good to try it.

"Old Simon, I'm going to raise some river shrimp or something here, so I think you might need to find a new water source to feed the horses." Wei Da continued to inspect his 'farm', but old Simon came on horseback, and Wei Da happily said his plan.

“GOOD！ It's a good idea, but Wei, horses don't eat river shrimp, don't worry, I won't let horses or cattle pollute your water source. "Old Simon untied the bridle, that is, the chew and the reins to let the horse drink water, for Wei Da wants to raise some river shrimp and the like, of course old Simon doesn't care, anyway, this water source actually doesn't have much effect.

Wei Da briefly chatted with old Simon, and the two of them were also planning to slaughter a cow in the past two days to see the meat quality of the cattle in the pasture; Now the cattle are growing really well, basically about a thousand pounds, that is, about 450 kilograms, so to speak, these cattle are basically semi-mature, and now it's time to see the quality of the beef.

Weida was ready, and staggered towards the town of Abilene in his pickup; This is not good on the side of the United States, although Abilene is actually a good town, but there is still some sparsely populated here, although the population of the United States has reached 300 million, but compared to even a small town in China, it is densely populated, but on the side of the United States, the population of the town is really not much, that is, more than 100,000.

Weida is very leisurely strolling in the supermarket, although the city is a little smaller, but the infrastructure is still good, the supermarket and the like are still complete, of course there will be no shortage of food here, as long as there is money, of course, there will be no shortage of delicious food.

There is no need to buy beef now, and there is still a little stock at home, also because Wei Da is preparing to slaughter a cow here, which is enough to eat for a while. So I chose a good vegetable, which I didn't have at home.

As for the fresh river shrimp, Wei Da looked at it, although it was good, but the size of these shrimp was still a little bigger, also because the river shrimp from these farms did not look very suitable for transfer to their own ponds for farming.

"Damn, and crayfish?" Wei Da was stunned, just as he was walking around the aquatic area, he was suddenly stunned, the little red guy with a big claw is not a crayfish!

Crayfish is very hot in the country, which is indeed a very good delicacy; But speaking of which, Wei Da really thought that these shrimps were more popular in China, although I heard that this thing was an alien species, but I didn't expect that there were also some markets in Lao Mei.

Wei Da smiled and chatted with the clerk, the crayfish is the scientific name of the original crayfish; The crayfish that runs rampant on the table is not a "local specialty" of China, but a "foreign monk". They are a species of freshwater shrimp that is native to the Gulf of Mexico. In the United States, crayfish have been eaten for hundreds of years. More than 90 percent of the crayfish used for food in the United States are produced in Louisiana, which selected crayfish as the representative animal of the state in 1983 and holds the "Crayfish Festival" every year.

Americans used to not eat lobster, until the mid-nineteenth century, when New Yorkers and Bostonians invented the practice of lobster, that people thought lobster tasted good. Before that, lobsters were food for the poor and those at the bottom of society. Even at that time, the army had a rule that soldiers could not eat lobster more than twice a week. At that time, the people who ate the most lobsters were prison inmates, and eating lobster became a punishment for those who were dishonest.

However, delicious things are accepted sooner or later, and crayfish are quite popular now; So starting every July, the United States enters the lobster harvest season. Therefore, the lobster festival in the eastern United States starts earlier, mostly in July and August. In the western Los Angeles area, the lobster festival is generally held in September, when the lobster meat is at its best.

Wei Da thought about it, the taste of the crayfish thing was really good; Although not all the crayfish you see in the store are common in China, but now that you know that there are crayfish in the United States, although it is not the peak season for crayfish, but there is money, of course Weida does not need to worry.

And speaking of Louisiana, which is also adjacent to Texas, it is still possible to find some crayfish at this time; Weida can now be said to pay more for food, as long as you find something delicious, it can really be said to be worth the money at this time. Now Weida is settled in the United States, it can be said that if you want to taste authentic Chinese food, you still need to work hard, in order to taste more food, it is not necessarily the best to buy it in the store, and now Weida needs to be self-reliant.

Wei Da felt that he was really enjoying himself more and more now, and it was also because he felt that he had found a way to make his life more comfortable at this time; It's a good thing to stay in the ranch in the future, but you must also go out and walk around often, so that you can eat more delicious food.

I went to buy a little river prawns, and when I went back, it was stuffy prawns; As for the crayfish, after two days of idleness, I went to buy more shrimp seedlings to come back, anyway, now Weida also has time, the most important thing is that the pocket is relatively bulging, at this time, of course, it can be guaranteed to return with a full load.
