Chapter 508: Sheep and Water
After Du Lei solved Jesse Chou's doubts about homosexuality, he also let go of his mind and was able to chat with Jesse Chou. I don't know, Jessie Chou saw that the former smuggler in front of him was still working and studying in the United States.
I also learned the management knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry, but the school was a little worse than the one that Allen went to, after all, Du Lei didn't have so much money and energy, so he went so far to go to the Harvard college that was known as the cowboy school.
After chatting for a long time, Jessie Zhou also felt quite good when he saw this compatriot of the Celestial Empire, how to say that he was also his own person, if he had the ability to buy the farm by himself, he could consider getting him a farm manager to try, and now after buying here, he could first be used as Atwood's deputy, after all, the new farm has a land snake, and it can also be more haode to sort out the relationship inside.
In the afternoon, Holjim invited Jessie and Jesse to his home and invited them to try the products of their farm. In addition to beef, Stream Farm also has cheese made from cows and a small batch of Dutch goats. This kind of lamb is tender and has a strong fishy smell but not greasy, especially when grilled into small lamb chops.
After Jessie Chou only ate one piece, he felt that in the future, this kind of sheep should be cultivated in the space and raised on the farm outside, and the taste would definitely be one step closer than now, and maybe it could become another signature dish of his Western restaurant.
Now the attraction of the western restaurant is the beef provided by Taikuai Farm, as well as the vegetable salad and fresh soup provided by Sky Farm in small quantities. Then there is the coffee beans that Zhou Jiexi supplies to Western restaurants in small quantities, and now this lamb chop Zhou Jiexi also thinks it is good, so you can buy it and put it in the Western restaurant.
Jesse Chou quietly mentioned the idea to Atwood, and the old guy thought it was a good idea. I used to eat beef, but I didn't know that the lamb chops at Stream Farm tasted so good.
Holjim looked at Zhou Jesse and others emotionally Xu, and said, "This is a subspecies of Dutch sheep that I have cultivated several times before, although the taste is very good, but the second generation of breeding is very difficult, it takes a lot of sheep breeds to alternately breed to match, and I want them to come by themselves, and the success rate is very low." ”
"That's a shame!" Atwood said with emotion, it turns out that this is just a failure, no wonder he didn't apply to the Ministry of Agriculture.
"This batch was bred in the past, and it was only after they grew up that I found that their meat quality was very good, but it was too difficult to cross them, and it was too difficult for them to breed their own second generation. In addition, I am not going to do the farm, so this seed may become extinct in the future. Holjim said.
Jessie Chou rolled his eyes and asked, "Isn't Mr. Jim trying to breed them, maybe it's possible to fix their variants?" Wouldn't it be a shame to give up like this? ”
Holjim shook his head: "I plan to buy a farm there when I get to my hometown, maybe I will try again, but I haven't been in the mood for the past few years!" ”
Atwood already knows a little bit about Jessie Chou's plans, and it seems that his boss wants to get this sheep back and try it himself. In fact, he is not very interested in this kind of breed that has failed to be cultivated, and American farmers do not know how many new varieties have been cultivated, but there are few that can stabilize the genes and keep them unchanged for generations.
This kind of privately bred sheep breed is not so cost-effective if you continue to breed it yourself.
Jessie Chou doesn't worry about the problem that Holjim said, put it in the space when the time comes, let's take it slow and use local time to speed up. Even if the mortality rate is very high, you can always survive a few more attempts. Besides, the spiritual energy in the space is sufficient, which can definitely reduce some of the mortality rate.
When the time comes, I will cross with other sheep breeds and make a new one myself. After thinking about it, he spoke again, "Mr. Jim, I am very interested in your crossbred sheep, their meat is so good, wouldn't it be a shame to give up these lovely ones!" ”
Holjim listened to Jesse Chou's meaning now, as an old cowboy and a farmer and a businessman, he will not do it at a loss, especially if someone likes it. "Mr. Zhou, do you want these sheep?"
"With that in mind, their meat is to my liking!" Jessie Chou is not stupid, liking does not mean that it must be. The price is too high, brother is not a second fool to slaughter for you.
"I have five or seven of these sheep here, of which twenty-three are rams and thirty-four are ewes. If you need, I can consider selling it to Mr. Zhou to you! Holjim said with a smile.
"How much is it, I still need follow-up cultivation authorization, if I succeed in cultivation in the future, then I have no interest in Mr. Jim!" Jessie Zhou said directly.
"Three million dollars, I can promise your terms!" Holjim said.
"Mr. Jim, it's impossible to go to the bank to rob as fast as your money, you're still an unstable breed! The price is just outrageous. Before Jessie could speak, Atwood jumped out and sang red-faced.
Jesse Chou also nodded: "Mr. Jim, I am very sincere, I can only give you a million dollars at most, this is my reserve price, if you are interested, I will give you another money." Of course, even if it doesn't work out, it won't affect our farm trade. ”
If it doesn't affect the ghost beliefs, if it doesn't, what do you do when you say it? Holjim complained in his heart, but the price was indeed within the range he could accept. "I can promise you Mr. Zhou, but I will only sell it, and I want to keep a copy of the follow-up cultivation rights at that time, after all, I still want to be able to stabilize their genes in my lifetime. What do you think of this? ”
"Deal!" Jessie Chou didn't talk nonsense, and agreed directly. Anyway, my brother has made it clear that he wants to use space to cheat, even if you breed it, you will definitely not be able to compare to the sheep I bred. Space is unique, and there is no semicolon. At that time, even if you stabilize the sheep's genes, it is estimated that the brother will breed it and it will be far from yours.
The first transaction came a bit unexpectedly, the two have reached a verbal intention and agreement on this, as long as the lawyers of both parties arrive, they will draft a valid legal document, and after the two sign it, it will be considered effective.
Jessie Chou tasted their beef again at the stream farm, which was indeed very good, after all, it was a free-grazing cow, which was much more than the cattle raised in lock-ups.
"Mr. Jim, the tens of thousands of cattle left on your farm, my boss has already intended to buy them, as long as you give a reasonable price, I believe you can save a commission to the auction house!" Atwood said to Holjim.
"On this side, you can rest assured that the price I give will definitely not be high. Now the price of the bull market is $1.25 a pound, I can give you $1.2 a pound, bulls and cows are the same price, but the cows on my farm, you have to buy them in a package. ”
Atwood shook his head, "Mr. Jim, we sincerely want to help you solve the problem, but the price you gave is still too high, and I don't want to bargain with you for $1.1 a pound!" ”
"No, although I need to pay a commission for auction, but your price is too low, I'm afraid I can't promise you!" Holjim shook his head.
"The price of beef was only a dollar a pound a few days ago, and it was the recent drought that raised the price a little bit, and you and I knew at the time that our location was not going to increase costs because of the drought. So one by one is our final price! As for the cows, we can also buy them in packages. ”
Holjim was silent for a long time, and Jesse Chou and Atwood didn't bother him. At this time, it is best to let him think about it. Just when Jessie Chou was a little impatient, Holjim finally read and spoke on time? "OK, that's $1.1 a pound!" But there is one condition, I hope you don't lay off employees after you take over the farm, they are all a good bunch of guys. ”
Atwood turned around and nodded at Jessie Chou, indicating that the price was indeed the lowest, and his conditions could be agreed, but there was some leeway. "Okay, deal, but for the time being, we won't lay off employees, as long as they work hard, we can guarantee that there will be no layoffs in the absence of a financial crisis!" Jessie Chou nodded in agreement.
The deal on the farm has not yet been successful, but Jesse Chou has bought the sheep and cattle first, and he does want to replenish some of the farm's cattle in this regard. There is also a group of calves called Atwoodra will be tried at Sky Farm to see if it can make the meat better. Although the result was positive, he had to pretend not to know.
Atwood also said the same thing, the change in the farm is really a bit strange, and he has always wondered if it is the development of groundwater that has made the grassland on the farm better. Only then did the cattle be fed, and the beef became delicious, after all, to raise a good cow, the first thing is to produce good grass for the sheep.
In addition, the arrival of Jessie Chou laid the irrigation system in all aspects, and the pipes were also connected to the groundwater, and sometimes the water was pumped up from below. Compared with river water, groundwater will be richer in minerals and purity. Coupled with some water rights issues and hangboy issues, Atwood thought it was necessary to link the groundwater and leave a backup water source for the farm.
The farm has changed for so long, and he has not found the reason, he can only suspect that it has gone to the groundwater, as for Zhou Jesse? As long as there is no problem in the head, people will not think of him, how can this unrelated thing be related to his boss.
