"How's it going, is this dish still to your taste?" Mary looked at Wang Hao, looking forward to his statement. Except for those animals, there have been no guests in the ranch for a long time, and even their children don't come back often to see it, so it's deserted.
Wang Hao put the last mouthful of broccoli in his mouth and chewed it slowly, he kept nodding his head, and then gave a thumbs up. After swallowing it, he complimented, "It's very good, the mushroom soup is delicious and delicious." The latter dish is good, I rarely praise people. ”
When Joseph saw his wife's rare joy, he couldn't help but rejoice. He felt that selling the ranch was a good choice, so that the two of them could enjoy a quiet retirement life and not be so lonely and lonely.
"Come, come, take another sip of this wine, which we make ourselves, and the grapes are grown by ourselves." Mary poured another half a glass of wine into Wang Hao's empty cup, and said proudly: "He loved to drink at the beginning, and as soon as the two of us put it together, we mobilized the whole family to plant grapes together!" Now I am able to pick quite a few grapes every year, and it is very good to sell them or use them myself. ”
"Really? I thought you bought it from outside! Make your own! I'll have to taste it. He looked surprised, and eagerly picked up the cup, asked gently, and then took a sip. He's not a master wine connoisseur, so he doesn't have that many steps. On the palate, it is round and very sweet, not inferior to those high-priced red wines.
Putting down the cup, Wang Hao said in surprise: "I thought the ranch was just grazing!" I didn't expect you to have a lot of things to do here, and you are self-sufficient in everything. ”
"Well, do you think ranching is that simple? Our ranchers here run their own ranches, feed the sheep, milk the cows, raise the horses, plant the trees, manage the vegetable garden, and do almost everything themselves. Here, you can bring your children with us to experience ranch life. For a newbie like you, it's better to learn from us and find a few helpers when the time comes. ”
Nodding vigorously, I couldn't agree anymore. For the management of the ranch, Wang Hao is a complete layman, he almost does not understand anything, and he can learn something after Joseph, which is convenient for his own business in the future.
The three of them sat together and chatted slowly, and in the end, Wang Hao's eyelids kept fighting, his eyes were a little hazy, he yawned several times in a row, and he was almost lying on the sofa.
"I see you're tired too, I'll take you upstairs to the guest room! There were a lot of houses, so we left a few rooms out, and the bathrooms and everything were in that room. Joseph picked up Wang Hao's suitcase and led him to the room on the second floor.
Wang Hao, who was sleepy, took a bath in a daze, and fell asleep on the bed, pillowing the fragrance of nature, listening to the sound of the wind blowing on the grassland, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
The sun shone in through the window, Wang Hao jumped out of bed refreshed, and after washing up, he realized that the masters were already busy with their work.
Joseph looks handsome in a classic outfit wearing a cowboy hat while he is busy milking cows. After he saw Wang Hao, he waved his hat with his free hand: "Come, I'll show you how to milk milk, this is your future work." ”
According to Joseph's words, his family's ranch is only a small ranch, 80 million square meters is only 20,000 acres, and the surrounding pastures are almost larger than this. In this pasture, there are 1,500 sheep and 80 cows, including 34 cows and 13 calves.
His job every morning is to get up and milk the cows that have been swollen overnight, which is required by the Australian government, and each cow has its own electronic number, which can accurately record the daily milk production and health level.
There is a good saying, in China, you can live hard for a lifetime, and you can buy a 100-square-meter house; But in Australia, as a cow, you can easily own 4 acres of meadow.
Wang Hao, who had never milked a cow, hurriedly rolled up the sleeves of his plaid shirt and walked over in three steps and two steps. He crouched beside Joseph and looked curiously at the cows waiting in line for milking. He didn't expect the animals to be so orderly, without the slightest chaos.
As an apprentice druid, he has a natural closeness to him, and these cows are not afraid of him at all, and even stretch their necks to sniff him. After touching its neck with his hand and scratching it, the little flower cow screamed a few times in comfort.
"Tsk, I didn't see it, she still likes you." Joseph drove the heifer away, and another heifer came up automatically, and the huge milk~ room hung low, and seemed to be a little swollen. Joseph picked up the shower and washed it on top of his nipples~.
"This is the first step of milking, clean and disinfect, stimulate its nipple ~ head by the way, and then gently massage the milk ~ room to promote the release of milk, but the first milk should be milked before cleaning, because it has more bacteria."
Joseph explained while doing the things at hand, he was not slow at all, gently rubbing the cow's milk ~ room, and then prepared the milker, this is a composite milker, the operation is very convenient, even Wang Hao, a layman, can understand a rough idea.
Put the cow's milk ~ room into the milking cup, the milk is sucked out of the milk ~ head by the vacuum pump, transported to the milk storage tank through the guò vacuum tube, and then enter the massage stage, so that the milk in the milk ~ room flows into the milk pool, and then repeat the above.
The milking workshop is a microcosm of the high-tech of the farm, where the mechanization is so high that only two or three people are needed to run the vast farm.
A huge rotating disc is full of cows, quite lively, and each cow's milk ~ room is equipped with an automatic milking machine. The cows line up to milk the cows in the disc and the gate closes automatically. In order to ensure that the cow's milk ~ head is not polluted, many cows' tails are cut short, so that it will not sweep to the milk ~ head, and the filth on the cow's tail will not pollute the milk ~ head. Automated milking equipment and a clean living environment not only ensure the quality of the milk, but also reduce the chance of mastitis in the cows.
In front of the cow is placed with a good feed, after Wang Hao put on the gloves, follow Joseph's example to fix the breast pump on the cow's milk ~ head, who knows that the cow moved restlessly, so that Wang Hao returned in vain. The milking position is so small that the cow is not able to move normally, it just shakes its body and twists its neck.
"Hehe, it's a little shy! Just coax you! In the blink of an eye, Joseph had fixed three or four cows, and he was very attentive.
Wang Hao was still fighting with the cow with his head bowed, and when he heard Joseph's advice, he patted the cow on the back lightly, and then touched its forehead. Quietly used the druid's ability to communicate with animals and plants. Communication here is not about talking, but about feeling the feelings of the other person. After he conveyed a kind and loving feeling, the feedback he received was trust and happiness. The heifer blinked his eyes, stretched out his tongue and licked Wang Hao's body, revealing a humanized look.
The druid's skills were so good that he gained the trust of the cows and secured the milking glass.
The milker in front of him will automatically milk the milk, and the milk will flow down the hose to the refrigerated storage tank. After the cow's milk ~ room is milked, due to the change of pressure, the breast pump automatically falls, at this time the disc almost rotates, and the feed in front of the cow is also eaten up. The fence gate then opens automatically and the cow exits the milking unit and follows a passage.
Wang Hao watched the whole process and felt that the cows were comfortable, methodical, calm and serene, and it seemed that the milking equipment was designed to be very "cow-friendly". "This device is so easy to use? How much did it cost? He asked, somewhat surprised, knowing that Australia was adept at using machinery to help farmers and ranchers, which was more than a little easier and faster than milking cows by hand.
Joseph crossed his hands on his hips, thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he smiled and grinned, and said happily: "This is what my son bought and gave to me, and said that I would not be too tired." Don't say it, this guy has to pay at least $100,000, but it takes my work off. I used to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning and squeeze in until ten o'clock in the morning, but now it can be easily solved in an hour. ”
After milking, the day at the ranch has just begun!.
