Chapter 167: Cheap and Terrible (Third Update!)
Not long after walking, Ye Xuan saw a country house.
The villa is large in size, covering several hundred square meters. In addition, there is a large warehouse next to the villa. The warehouse door was open, and the tools and vehicles stacked in it could be seen from a long distance.
The main structure of this country house is basically wood, and it looks very elegant and chic.
Seeing the architecture of human civilization again, Ye Xuan felt cordial from the bottom of his heart. With a long sigh, he smiled at the live camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, this issue of wilderness survival is over here." I will announce the time and place of the gathering of water friends on Weibo, including the time and place of the next live broadcast, please remember to follow my Weibo. ”
"Brothers, we'll see you next time. ”
After turning off the live broadcast, Ye Xuan put away the aerial photography drone, and then walked briskly towards the villa in front of him.
The villa looked a little deserted, and there was only a Labrador lying on the lawn in front of the house. Seeing the stranger, the Labrador immediately stood up and stared at him vigilantly, while emitting a series of barks.
At this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a chubby white man slowly walked out.
Seeing Ye Xuan's embarrassed appearance and smelling the smell of alpaca's saliva, the white man suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, brother, I think you must have been treated well by those pets of mine." ”
"They were very welcoming, but I couldn't afford it. Lin Bei spread his hands helplessly, then remembered something, raised his eyebrows and said: "By the way, I was in that direction just now, and it seems that I saw two red kangaroos, beating a sheep." I'm not quite sure if you raised those kangaroos, so..."
"Fake! these damn bitches!"
Before the words fell, the white man's face changed, and after scolding angrily, he turned around and entered the villa.
When he came out again, he had an extra double-barreled shotgun in his hand.
"Brother, wait here, I'll be back soon!"
After saying hello, the big man rushed into the garage with a double-barreled shotgun, drove a mountain motorcycle, and drove towards the direction that Ye Xuan had just pointed to.
After watching the white man disappear from view, Ye Xuan came back to his senses.
Looking at the expression of the white man just now, you can see that these red kangaroos must have caused a lot of trouble, and it is estimated that this is not the first time that they have beaten cattle and sheep.
I don't know if the two red kangaroos have left, or if the white man is just scaring them, anyway, Ye Xuan hasn't heard the gunshots ringing out.
In a few minutes, Dahan drove back on his mountain bike.
"Man, can you borrow one from your bathroom, I want to take a shower." "No way, even though he has thrown away the T-shirt, there is still a lot of alpaca saliva on his pants and hair. At this moment, the whole person exudes a foul smell, and even he can't stand it anymore.
The white man laughed, "No problem, just use it." ”
After a conversation, the two got acquainted with each other a lot. The white man's name is Dave, and he has a bold and enthusiastic personality. His wife and children live in Darwin, and only come back for a few days during holidays, and he is usually the only one living on this farm.
After Ye Xuan took a bath, Dave warmly invited him to lunch.
I have to say that although this guy looks like he is five big and three thick, with a full beard, his cooking skills are surprisingly amazing. Especially the fried lamb chops, Ye Xuan almost didn't swallow his tongue.
Swallowing the lamb chops in his mouth, he gave Dave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Dude, your cooking skills can almost be a chef in a three-star Michelin restaurant." ”
Europeans and Americans are basically not modest, and when he heard his praise, Dave smiled proudly: "Haha! Dude, you are not the first person to praise me like this." Ruili is a big beauty, and I used my cooking skills to defeat many suitors and successfully hold the beauty. ”
Ruili is Dave's wife, and she showed him the photo just now. It can only be said that it looks okay, and the figure is good, with a convex and backward curve.
"Dude, your farm is so big, why don't you hire a few employees?" Eating a small lamb chop again, Ye Xuan asked curiously.
This farm is two or three thousand hectares, to say the least, and he has not seen anyone except Dave all the way, and there are few cattle and sheep.
Hearing him ask, Dave sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to invite, but I can't afford to ask." Really good farms are almost all in Queensland, and the climate of the Northern Territory is not suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry at all. Moreover, in recent years, the Australian cattle and sheep market has been sluggish, and the farm has been in a state of loss since the previous year. Add in those pervasive hares and kangaroos, and oh my God, I'm going crazy with torture. ”
"Do you know what's the biggest expense on the farm? Fresh water! It's fine during the rainy season, but in the dry season, it probably doesn't rain for a month, and the damn government doesn't even allow us to develop groundwater. And those damn hares, there are so many of them that they can't be killed at all, and the consumption of shotgun bullets every month is close to 2,000 Australian dollars. ”
It seemed that he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, or maybe it was because of his personality, and Dave began to pour out his troubles endlessly.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he listened to it, he had always thought that opening a farm in Australia should be very profitable, but he didn't expect the reality to be so miserable.
In fact, what he didn't know was that 76% of Australia's farms were now losing money. The few profitable farms are located in Queensland, where the climate is suitable and rainfall is abundant.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Xuan asked.
Dave shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I'm really fed up, I'm going to sell this farm in the near future, and after paying off the bank, I'll go to live in Darwin." ”
Taking a sip of the juice, Ye Xuan asked casually, "How much does it sell?"
"390,000!"
Burst!
For a while, Ye Xuan almost didn't squirt out the juice in his mouth. Trying to swallow the juice in his mouth, he opened his eyes wide and said with a face full of incredulity, "Dave, are you serious?"
Seeing him like this, Dave thought he was too expensive, and hurriedly explained: "Dude, you may have misunderstood, what I said about 390,000 is not only referring to land and houses, but also to the cattle and sheep on the farm and those alpacas. ”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes widened.
Nima, that's too cheap!
Thousands of hectares of land, plus a villa covering an area of several hundred square meters, as well as hundreds of cows, sheep and alpacas, together sold for 390,000 yuan, which is equivalent to less than 2 million yuan!
What can you buy in China with 2 million yuan? A rough house of 80 or 90 square meters on the outskirts of Jinling.
Not to mention the others, this villa covering an area of several hundred square meters alone, even if it is placed in the domestic countryside, is at least a million.
Obediently, it's just terrible cheap.
To be honest, Ye Xuan's heart was moved.
