"Hahaha, the first time to shear sheep, it's good, really!" Joseph laughed irresponsiblely, he had seen what it meant to be a friend of nature. No matter what animal is so close to Wang Hao after seeing it, even this sheep is too, and he is motionless to let him cut off his hair, which is simply unscientific!
Wang Hao originally wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a photo of this failed work as a souvenir, but it was his first time. But the sheep ran out at a fast pace, as if there was something terrible in it, wasn't there an electric scissor that almost killed it!
"It's almost time, come sit down and rest! I don't know why you want to buy a ranch, but it's not an easy job at all, the income is not very large, and you are only middle-class in Australia. If it's a family, you can save a lot of money. If you are alone now, and you are still a layman, then you need to hire a lot of people, and then the profit will be relatively small. ”
"It's okay, as long as the money I earn can support me, I don't want to buy a ranch just to make money, I think I like it very much, I like it leisurely and quietly. After living in a big city for a long time, I want to come to the southern hemisphere to try a new way of life. You two elders probably won't be used to staying in the city! Wang Hao suddenly remembered his parents, if he really took root here, then what should the two of them do?
The spring sun is warm and warm, shining on the body has a lazy feeling, the green grassland is blown by the wind, the high-quality pasture grass is bent down, a few alpacas are pacing forward slowly, from time to time to lower their long necks to eat the grass on the ground.
Wang Hao's eyes lit up, isn't this the grass mud horse that is legendary on the Internet? This mythical beast actually walked casually on the grassland, looking like it was patrolling its own territory. Their plush appearance and simple and cute face make them look particularly cute.
The alpacas were of different colors, white, brown, and pure white, and a total of five mythical beasts walked on the ground.
"Hehe, this alpaca is cute, isn't it? You young people love that, and last time I was in Sydney I saw someone walking with an alpaca and keeping it as a pet. ”
"What is this not a pet? Can you still eat it? ”
"Our family feeds alpacas for the wool on their bodies, which is softer and more valuable than ordinary wool. It also looks very comfortable, but the temper is very weird, a little stupid and stupid. Of course, alpacas are also edible, but not many people buy them. ”
At this time, Mary's phone called, asking the two of them to go back to dinner, the ranch is so big, if you don't use the phone, you probably can't get in touch.
The two men bagged the sheared wool and put away the planks, not wanting the alpacas to come and pull something on them. Wash your hands and slowly shake it over, it's amazing, the morning time just slipped away quietly.
"Come on, come on, today's roast is our own lamb. We don't have any special products here, but if you want to eat some lamb or something, it's definitely full! ”
Although it seems a little inappropriate to eat mutton at noon, considering the calories consumed by labor in the morning, she needs to eat some meat to supplement her body's needs.
Cutting a small piece of meat with a knife, Wang Hao opened his mouth and chewed it in small bites, the medium-rare seemed to be just right, retaining a tender taste, and almost did not smell any smell. Now that he has become obsessed with the red wine here, he must take a sip after eating a little barbecue.
"Tomorrow let Mary go to the supermarket and buy you some kangaroo meat or crocodile meat to eat, keep it to surprise you!" Joseph still had a good appetite, and he ate peas and onions with the meat.
Wang Hao was a little stunned, "Can kangaroos be eaten too?" Isn't it a symbol of Australia? He couldn't help but admire the Australians, even the animals that symbolize their country can be eaten, they are simply big foodies, crocodile meat, ostrich meat or anything, if one day Australia's national bird emu is eaten, it will not be a big news.
He likes to see the surprised expressions of foreigners, and Joseph's bad taste is fully satisfied, "Although kangaroos are symbols, there are too many of them, and they can be seen anywhere, and there are many kangaroos here in our ranch, but you are unlucky not to meet them." The kangaroo meat sold in the market is farmed in captivity, and wild kangaroos are not allowed to be killed. ”
After listening to this explanation, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he still couldn't accept eating kangaroo meat. What if I eat kangaroo meat at noon and meet a few live kangaroos in the afternoon? How will you feel when the time comes?
"You will go with Mary this afternoon to feed the animals, and I will continue to shear the sheep, and must finish all the wool before the summer. Hopefully wool prices won't fall this year, and pray that the Wall Street bunch of maniacs will be normal. ”
After eating, Wang Hao sat on the swing in the yard, shaking his legs gently, I used to hear that Australia is very short of water and prone to drought, but it doesn't look like there is a shortage of water here. The sprinkler irrigation system is well developed, but it is rarely turned on because there is no shortage of water. Large and small ponds are dotted, but it is a pity that there are very few fish in them, and such a good environment is wasted.
What a wonderful and comfortable situation it would be to fish under the shade of eucalyptus trees and watch the cattle and sheep grazing in the distance! He decided that when he bought the ranch, he would buy some fish fry to put in it, so that he would have nothing to do with fishing.
In the afternoon, Mary went to the eucalyptus grove not far away to collect firewood, and the big fireplace in the living room was used to burn firewood. Although spring has arrived, the evenings are still a little cold, and if you sit in the living room and watch TV, you still have to make a fire.
Carrying a basket of grains, Wang Hao followed Mary inexplicably, not knowing what collecting firewood had to do with bringing grain.
When Mary opened the iron door, a group of animals were hiding under the flowers to secretly observe the two, Mary clapped her hands lightly, walked to the open space outside, she introduced to Wang Hao: "These animals are spiritual, they can all recognize me." ”
In Mary's view, these are not animals, but friends, each with its own name! Mary took a handful of grain from the basket and put it in the palm of her hand, and a herd of animals rushed over.
Calves, lambs, hens, and goats all crowded towards Mary, and a few passing kangaroos in the distance curiously approached the lively scene.
"Let's go, the grain is reserved for the alpacas, and their huts are set up next to the eucalyptus forest, so every time I come to pick up branches, I bring some food along the way." Mary pointed to the small black dot in the distance, and said with a smile: "This group of alpacas has a good life, and there is an air conditioner to help them cool down in summer, which is simply warm in winter and cool in summer, and life is comfortable." ”
After walking in, I found that these divine beasts were all walking gracefully, ignoring these two people at all. Frowning slightly, Wang Hao was smoked by the smell of this shack. Alpacas generally have a smell on their bodies, and even regular cleaning can't eliminate it, so many alpacas gather together, and they have to clean the feces inside every two days, and it is estimated that they have to wear gas masks when they go in.
Mary smiled apologetically when she saw this, and she whispered, "The taste is a little strong, you go away, I'll pour the grain in it and come over." ”
Wang Hao shook his head, he decided to follow and take a look, after all, this place was about to be converted into his own golden pasture, and he had to see what these divine beasts had done. He grabbed the grain with his hand, and a herd of alpacas squeezed in, stretched their necks, and used their tongues to eat all the grain in the palm of his hand. After that, she didn't give up and wanted to eat the contents of the basket, but this was not possible, and Mary hurriedly stopped them.
Come and see the Great Juggernaut
