The medicinal effect of the Ganoderma lucidum cultivated by Wang Hao is bound to be no worse than that of the wild one, and he has absolute confidence in this regard, and he has instilled so much magic into it, how can it be if there is no effect. He wiped the sweat on his forehead, and complained: "This ghost weather is too hot, Chong~Qing has never been so hot, the temperature in spring has soared to nearly 40 degrees, what can I do in summer." β
What he is worried about now is drought and other problems, because Australia is a water-scarce country, and the disaster of drought happens every year, which is no longer news. If there is no drought, I am afraid that will be the news for the rest of the country, because the absence of drought means a good harvest, and the price of wheat and the rest of the crop will fall because of the increase in supply.
What happens if the ranch is hit by a drought? Wang Hao can't artificially rain, nor can he summon a clear spring to come out, so he must rely on modern means to store more water.
The sky was dark, sitting under the shade of the oak trees, which was the highest point of the hills, and a gentle breeze blew, taking away the heat from the body, and a cool feeling suddenly appeared. The grass in the distance looks a little wilted, and under the scorching sun, staying here is the best choice.
But he still had to visit the vineyards and cowsheds, and he didn't know how the fattening was going, and so far no company had contacted him about beef and lamb, which made him very worried. Wu Xiang, the only dealer he knew, didn't hear from him, seeing that the cattle were about to finish fattening, but unfortunately no one had asked.
For the quality of beef and mutton, Wang Hao has never been worried, his ranch is strictly in accordance with the most standard breeding methods, and the meat quality of these Murray gray cattle is also good, the most important thing is that Wang Hao has performed ripening on these beef cattle on a large scale, with the moisturization of magic, the meat quality must be fresh and tender.
But this qiΔ is just his guess, and the specific quality of the beef has to be tested.
Coming out of the shade of the oak trees, there was a heat wave, and the ground temperature was estimated to be 50 degrees, and it was estimated that the cheese under him could not stand it after being outside for a long time.
Jogging all the way towards the vineyard, Wang Hao saw the cattle and sheep hiding in the bushes or under the shade of the trees with their heads stilted, and only a few thirsty cows standing at the drinking place to drink water to replenish the water in their bodies. When the temperature is high, fire disasters are prone to occur, and the woods and grasslands in the pasture are flammable, so he secretly decided that he must standardize the use of fire, and he can't even eat outdoor barbecue during this time.
As soon as he entered the vineyard, the refreshing coolness came to his face, Wang Hao couldn't help but moan, the cement pier under the grape trellis has no temperature, and there will be no hot feeling when sitting on it. The vines are now very thick, and the small white flowers are quietly blooming in preparation for the subsequent fruiting.
"Looks like we'll have to clean up the vines tomorrow, or we'll be too late!" He tilted his head and said to himself, these little white flowers must be cleaned up as soon as possible, they can't be allowed to wither and become grapes, a vine can provide a certain amount of nutrients, too many young grape fruits to divide will lead to poor growth. All the labor during the growing of the grapes revolves around this, the survival of the fittest.
He didn't come here today to work, but to see the situation, although he had only been away for two or three days, he missed it very much. Life in the city is good, but the ranch is his favorite, doing farm work every day, teasing the animals, and living a leisurely life.
The grapes are growing quite well, and if Wang Hao's winemaking skills are passable, then there should be no problem with this year's wine, and there is not much pressure to complete the winemaking work before the Spring Festival. The key point is that he didn't know how to make wine at all, but he just bought a few books related to winemaking, read them, and learned to evaluate.
He wondered when to buy a small basket of grapes and come back to practice his skills, and when his grapes were ripe, there would be no problem.
"Hey, I knew you were here." Pete walked over, said hello to him, and then sat on the stone pier not far from Wang Hao.
His face was red from the sun, his clothes looked a little dirty, and his whole back was soaked with sweat, so he took off his hat and fanned the wind, complaining, "This hellish weather really doesn't make people live." β
Wang Hao smiled at him, stretched out his hand and patted the two of them: "How do you know I'm here?" I didn't see you before. β
"A few of us came out by car, and we just saw a horse here, I'm afraid there is no one else but you, right?" Pete spread his hands, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "That, boss, I just came here to ask Wang Meng how she is doing, and there has been no reply to her emails before." β
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Wang Hao looked Pete a little shy up and down, and the latter actually looked directly into Wang Hao's eyes. "Maybe it's a little busy, the biggest possibility is that she doesn't have the habit of going to the mailbox, and none of us there have developed the habit of looking at the email every day, so I don't know when she opens the mailbox."
After hearing Wang Hao's words, his whole person became a little more relaxed: "Oh, so that's the case." β
Compared to the scorching heat outside, this place is truly a paradise. Pete patted his head, with a little doubt and surprise, and said to Wang Hao: "Boss, if you don't come back, we will call you." The cattle in the barn have been growing weirdly lately, and I've been raising beef cattle for nearly 20 years, and I've never had them like this once. β
As soon as he got down to business, his expression became stern, this matter had already made him sleep, if he didn't solve it, the ranch would be hit hard, and maybe the guide would shut down.
Wang Hao also put away his contemptuous mentality, his heart was like playing a drum, and he didn't know what was wrong with the ranch. Although this is a comprehensive ranch, the cattle and sheep are still the most important thing, and there is nothing wrong with it. The special thing is that Golden Ranch is just getting started, and if it goes wrong, it's a problem.
"What the hell happened to those beef cattle? Is it sick or the rest of the problem? He didn't have to take in the cool air, and as he spoke, he stood up and picked up Petra and walked towards the SUV not far away.
Pete understood the eagerness in Wang Hao's heart now, and he didn't let go of Wang Hao's hand, because there would not be such intimate movements between people of the same sex abroad unless it was gay. He put his hat on his head, followed closely behind Wang Hao and said, "It's not that I'm sick, and there is no plague, it's just very weird, and the growth is too abnormal." β
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Wang Hao said to him: "You drive to the cowshed, let's talk as we walk, now those cows are in the cowshed, right?" β
"No, we have been driven outside during the day to carry out activities, and we will only return to the cowshed in the evening, we only need to go to the cowshed to see the number of monitors inside, I suspect it is a feed problem."
Leaving the cheese here, Wang Hao and the two sat on the air-conditioned off-road vehicle and headed towards the cowshed, the air conditioning could not make Wang Hao's anxiety alleviate at all, he was eager to know what was wrong with the beef cattle. At that time, he was afraid that there would be a problem with raising cattle for the first time on his ranch, so he did not dare to breed too much, preferring to sell pasture in a large area of grassland.
Seeing Wang Hao's anxious appearance, Pete stepped on the accelerator to the end, the speed soared, and he looked at the road with full attention. The new era of cowboys requires not only good riding skills, but also driving skills.
"Bang" closed the car door, Pete took Wang Hao to the empty cowshed, and regardless of Luna, who was cleaning the cowshed, the two of them walked to the electronic monitoring room and began to get busy.
The electronic monitoring room is the high-tech table of the ranch, which monitors various numbers in the cowshed in real time, such as the number of cattle, the weight of each cow, the temperature and humidity in the barn, etc.
Pete turned on the computer, called up the number jΓΉ, he pointed to the computer screen and said: "Look here, this is a record of the daily weight of beef cattle and the corresponding increase in weight, the previous days were relatively stable, maintaining a rate of about one kilogram per day." But here, that is, about ten days ago, the number jΓΉ began to change abnormally. β
The colorful line charts and inexplicable abbreviated numbers made Wang Hao feel like a cloud, and he had to be explained by Pete to understand, he came up and carefully watched the changes he described, not knowing what he was thinking.
"On November 7, the number measured in the evening was five kilograms different from the previous day, and more than a dozen cattle had this problem. Since then, dozens of cattle have gained abnormal weight every day, and the most recent day is more than 300 cattle have gained 8 kilograms. Boss, these are not normal, one kilogram a day for a cow is normal under the careful cultivation of the fattening farm, and it is okay to drink nearly two kilograms more, it may be that there is more water to drink, but eight kilograms is too outrageous. β
"The cattle are recorded once a day, and we don't know what's going on. I thought it was a mistake with the instrument that measured my weight, but after holding it on, it showed normal. Normally, this would not happen, but it did. I suspect that the feed of these beef cattle is mixed with hormones, and the stimulation of these hormones will lead to the growth of the herd. β
The use of hormones is expressly prohibited in the Australian Beef Association, and if hormones are really used, then these cattle will not be sold at all, and it will affect Wang Hao's business license.
His face was a little pale, wasn't this the time when he learned the ripening technique to do it on these beef cattle on a large scale? It's basically very consistent, especially a few days ago, he had a deeper understanding of ripening, so he ripened all the beef cattle in the cowshed once, but he didn't expect it to be recorded, and he was suspected of eating hormones.
In this state, hormones are the only reasonable explanation. But Wang Hao can't admit that he has to prove that his beef is normal and does not add anything, so he must make a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon.
His mind was constantly running, thinking about what he should say, should he confess his druid identity? (To be continued)
