Chapter 1604: Five-Star General

The sudden thundershowers this morning alleviated the hot and dry weather that lasted for more than a week.

A few streams almost broke off and were replenished by rainwater, and at this time they flowed with a clatter, and you could see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, swaying left and right in the direction of the current.

A pod of Australian freshwater bass is moving around carefree, their fleshy meat is very popular with Australians, and they are often caught for food without worrying about the heavy metal pollution that plagues American freshwater fish.

The cattle and sheep are mixed together, walking in groups on the wet soil, bowing their heads to nibble on the fresh grass stained with rain and dew, and the body size is generally not large, and it will take about half a year to enter the fattening period.

The local people mainly breed Angus cattle and Limousin cattle, both of which are very familiar breeds to Han Qianshan, and the growth cycle is about one year and five months.

This is different from the Snow Mountain Ranch, which raises half-sized calves every year for about seven months, and sells them all before the heavy snow in winter, enough time for their bodies to be filled.

A few years ago, a group of researchers did experiments and found that Simmental cattle ate the grass produced in the Snow Mountain Ranch for three consecutive months, and the Act content in the body was almost the same as that of the Simmental cattle raised in the Snow Mountain Ranch for seven months.

In fact, if you only plant grass in the Snow Mountain Pasture, do not raise cattle or sheep during the period, choose to buy ordinary beef cattle that are about to enter the fattening period from other places, and use the pasture grass in the Snow Mountain Pasture to fatten them for a period of three months, then the profit of the Snow Mountain Ranch can almost double!

Such a simple account, Han Xuan had thought of it a long time ago, and told his father about it.

Han Qianshan scoffed at this, and taught him that it was impossible for him to raise cattle and sheep well in his life, because he did not have a herding heart, and he was a pure businessman.

He also said that if he liked money, he would have helped manage the SOS Group when he was young, how could he have guarded the days of fading out of the snowy mountain pasture for more than ten years.

It can be said that there are gains and losses, if it was really according to Han Xuan's suggestion and "mass production" containing Act beef, Snow Mountain Ranch may not have reached its current transcendent status, and the price and reputation of the product would not have been hyped up to such a high level.

It's not that Han Qianshan has foresight, he's just a blind cat who bumps into a dead mouse - it's just luck.

The cowboys who followed the cattle and sheep grazing next to the herd looked very helpless, the rain came in the morning, they did not have time to drive the cattle and sheep back into the pen, and eating the fresh grass stained with the rain could easily cause the cattle and sheep to have diarrhea......

The thundershowers have stopped.

The sun emerges from the thin clouds, and small patches of blue sky can be seen, and the heavy rain washes away the dust from the air, and the blue color is more pure than usual.

In this cowboy gathering place, there are only about 100 households, and Han Xuan has not counted them carefully.

The houses are all wooden structures, and people are constantly coming out of their homes and greeting each other, similar to the snow-capped mountain pastures, and the pace of life is also very slow, and most people get up early and have nothing to do, so they don't get up until eight or nine o'clock.

Han Xuan is not squeamish, he will make do last night and sleep in a simple wooden house.

This house was built after Han Qianshan bought Kidman Ranch, no one lived in it for months, he was afraid of hiding snakes, insects, rats and ants, so before entering the room last night, he asked George and Jason to carefully inspect it.

If a snake suddenly appears on the bed when he sleeps, even if it is a non-venomous snake, he will definitely go crazy, and hate this animal in his heart, and the same is true for lizards and spiders, but there are many snakes, lizards, and spiders living in the Eping Ranch, and he must walk carefully.

Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with alternative natural ecology, many poisons, and many cute pets, for example, when he opened the door at this moment, he saw a Queensland woolly nose wombat running under the eaves to hide from the rain and not leaving for the time being.

Its body, almost as fat as two fat dings, looks very cute, like a chubby pig, but the hair is gray, and it does not have big ears like a fan.

Looking at the body type, the guy in front of Han Xuan is already an adult, and after hearing the sound of opening the door, he turned his head slowly, not afraid of him at all, his whole face looks honest and honest, and his personality is docile and stupid, which makes people can't help but want to rub it.

Seeing Han Xuan walking in front of him, the Queensland hairy-nosed wombat stood there and did not move, but moved to the side, as if he was afraid of blocking his way.

Han Xuan is very sure that he saw this guy yesterday.

The only animal that interested him in the Eping Ranch was the Queensland woolly-nosed wombat, and he had heard his father talk about their existence before he came, so when he first arrived yesterday, he ran to the small nature reserve.

A portion of the ranch has been set aside for the government, about four square kilometres, to be designated as a protected area for the Queensland woolly wombat.

These adorable creatures, now numbered less than 240 in the world, were also victims of the "Rabbit Invasion War", which was abundant in south-eastern Australia more than 100 years ago, and humans also invaded their homes, causing their numbers to plummet.

Wearing army green trousers, not afraid of getting dirty, Han Xuan sat on the dry ground with his butt and hugged the fat guy who was about thirty kilograms in his arms, the legs of the Queensland hairy nose wombat were very short and thick, like a small stump, and he was held by him.

From the cowboy residence to the Epping National Forest Park, the straight-line distance is only about one kilometer.

With its small short legs, it should be quite difficult to walk, Han Xuan believes that it is specially here to play with himself, this guy is very happy at the moment, lying lazily......

A fat aunt passing by the door, after seeing it, asked Han Xuan, "Did you catch it from the forest park?"

They can't be kept as pets, and there are very few of them, and last autumn someone came to catch them secretly, and the rangers caught him red-handed, and finally caught him and took him to the animal police station, for which the court sentenced him to eight years in prison and fined $50,000.

If you like, you can keep a Tasmanian wommela or a South Australian woolly woolly woolly womcoat, which look similar to the Queensland womcoat, but they are very numerous.

A relative of mine adopted a South Australian womcock named Tyre, and the guy was really good at eating it, and the feces were hard to handle, and he slept about sixteen hours a day......"

Han Xuan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, continued to sit on the ground with it, and explained, "It's not what you think, ma'am.

It came to the door of my house by itself, and I knew that they were very precious, and the number was rarer than that of giant pandas, so they would not mess around.

Still, thanks for the reminder, I'll send it back later, or I'd better send it back in person, or this guy might get lost. ”

"Well, that's good, I'm sure you can do it."

Listening to her last sentence, it seems that she didn't fully believe Han Xuan's words, and after finishing speaking, the kind aunt left, and people who know how to cherish and love animals generally have a bad personality.

The remote ranch is different from the city, and the residents are mostly simple and straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind, as I saw when I had a barbecue last night......

Anya also slept in this wooden house, living in a room with Mengmeng, and the relationship between the two was very good, probably like best friends.

There is little difference in age, there are always endless topics, the Eastern and Western thinking concepts are different, and occasionally they will argue about some things, arguing is not her forte, so Meng Meng can always win.

When she saw this cute Queensland woolly nose wombat, Anya asked him where he caught it, and Han Xuan replied again: "When I went out, I saw it lying at the door, do you remember that among the group of wombats yesterday, there was a guy who had been in a daze, it was it."

You play with it first, I'll brush my teeth, and I'll help send it back after breakfast, and I don't know how long I'm going to run with these short legs.

Maybe somewhere the railings are broken, their places of residence have to be isolated......"
