Queenstown has a vineyard that grows grapes that are used to make white wine, which is said to be very popular with locals and tourists alike.

Xu Yin went to the farm in the morning to buy oat seeds and potatoes, and visited the vineyard in the afternoon.

New Zealand's white wines are better than red wines.

White wine can be made from white grapes or purple grapes with the skin removed.

On the palate, white wine made from white grapes tastes better.

Following the local customs, Xu Yin plans to grow white grapes and learn local winemaking techniques to make white wine.

She doesn't have too much space for purple grapes and red wine, so she won't plant them this time.

After five days in Queenstown, I started shopping: 50 catties of freshly slaughtered Angus beef, two hams, and went to a nearby seaside town to buy a freshly landed salmon, a few large crabs, two baskets of high-quality oysters and a bunch of unknown miscellaneous fish and shellfish, fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish, and the stewed seafood pot was super delicious.

In New Zealand in the late 80s, seafood prices were really cheap.

Xu Yin sighed in her heart, if it weren't for the payment of calf tails, sheep calves, fruit saplings and workers' wages in the spring, the expenditure was not small, and she did not dare to purchase a lot, so she could only buy a little to satisfy her appetite, otherwise she really wanted to stay here for a few more days, and wait for the next fishing boat to dock and stock up on a wave of super delicious wild seafood.

So you still have to work hard to make money!

Xu Yin pondered, there is nothing else to do in winter, why don't you work hard to develop the electric wool push 3.0?

With a plan in mind, he returned to Cook Town.

SeafoodThese motorcycles are difficult to carry, and in the end, only a basket of oysters and two sea crabs are left outside.

She didn't stock up on a pound of fresh beef. After raising cattle next year, I don't want to eat as much fresh beef as I want.

Instead, the ham meat was cut into a small piece, and the cook was given to add food, and the rest was hoarded.

"Sean is back!" When Mrs. Hunt saw her, she came out happily to greet her, "Was the road going well?" ”

"Smooth."

The failure was also solved by her.

Soon after leaving Queenstown, I found that I was targeted by a small pickup truck, probably to see that she was a single woman and bought so many things, and wanted to rob money and sex.

When she arrived in an open area, she deliberately slowed down, waited for the other party to stop her happily, and killed the other party when she wanted to do something wrong, knocked people unconscious, tied them up and threw them at the door of the police station.

If you are so skilled at stalking and robbing, you may be a repeat offender.

As for the money on those two, she took it to refuel. It also costs a lot of gas to go around the police station, okay?

I filled the tank with fuel and bought a few extra barrels of gasoline to stock up on in the system warehouse.

There was such a small episode on the way back and forth, and the rest was really smooth.

"The calves are ordered, eighty bull calves, twenty cow calves, I have learned a lot from the rancher over there a lot of tricks about raising cattle, if Mr. Hunt is worried, just claim it, and I will raise it." The situation will be good for the next year, and you will start to raise it yourself from the next year. ”

Claim?

Mr. and Mrs. Hunter looked confused, that is, as long as they paid for it, they didn't have to worry about anything else?

Xu Yin continued: "When the calves arrive, you go and choose, five bulls, one cow, I will make a mark." You don't have to worry about the pasture, my pasture is big enough for them to eat. ”

Mr. Hunt nodded, although he decided to try out Angus beef cattle with Sean, he was indeed a little worried. After all, it is the first time to contact beef cattle breeding, and I am worried that it will not be able to raise it well.

If Sean is in charge of raising, he will have time to help and learn in the past, and the psychological pressure will be reduced a lot in an instant, and he will accumulate a year's experience first, and he will know how to raise it later.

"Just won't it bother you too much?"

"No, it won't."

More than 90 heads have been raised, and there are still only six heads left?

"I'm going to ask Old William to order a batch of meat goat's calves, and by the way, ask Old William if he wants to claim beef cattle."

Xu Yin cut five catties of fresh beef and planned to go to the ranch next door.

"Let's go to the mayor's house too, his family may want to raise it." "The day you went to the South, he came over and seemed a little interested in beef cattle farming," Mr. Hunt said. ”

"Okay."

Xu Yin took another five catties of fresh beef, and let the cook cook the rest.

Today's rain is sleek with snow particles, and I want to eat beef and mutton in a pot.

Mrs. Hunter couldn't help but laugh: "As soon as Sean returns, our food will go up." ”

The cook is also happy: "Sean's hometown dishes are not only delicious, but also simple to make, just a few days ago, a pot of broth was hung with lamb bones, and you can make it on the stove." I'll wash some vegetables, and the main dish will be potato cakes. Does Sean like potatoes? ”

Xu Yin: "......"

Craving for mashed potatoes.

She chewed on the jerky that Mrs. Hunt had stuffed for her, and went first to old William's ranch.

Old William knew that she had gone to the south a few days ago to inspect beef cattle breeding, and asked her with a smile how the inspection was going.

"It's going well, the contract has been signed, the deposit has been paid, and it will be delivered to your door in the spring." Xu Yin then asked, "Do you want to raise it?" Mr. Hunt, fearing that he had no experience in the first year, claimed six of them from me, and only paid for the calves, and I was responsible for the rest, and if you were interested, I could give you a few. ”

William Sr. was certainly interested.

You only need to pay for the calf, you don't have to worry about anything else, and even if you don't sell it to the buyer when you are old, it's not bad to slaughter it yourself and eat it.

Even if it is not raised in the end, the loss is only the money to buy calves.

But if it is well raised, it is equivalent to spending the money of a calf in exchange for an adult bull, which is too cost-effective.

But wouldn't it be too much of a loss for Sean?

Xu Yin laughed and said, "It's okay, just thank you for taking care of me this year." And it's only the first year like this, and if you want to raise it in the future, you have to come by yourself. ”

"Of course."

William Sr. claimed two bulls.

Anyway, with Sean's, he didn't want a cow.

After that, Xu Yin made her intention clear and said that she wanted to ask his family to buy goat calves.

But old William's family does not raise many meat goats, and with the current scale, there are not many calves, and at most fifty can be provided.

However, he helped Xu Yin introduce two other pastures, and the breeding scale of meat goats is much larger than his family's, and he should be able to raise two hundred and fifty calves.

In this way, 300 calves were in place as planned.

Worried that the rain would fall heavily, Xu Yin didn't stay long, and carried the gift of old William back - a leg of mutton and a bucket of goat's milk, and rode a motorcycle around the mayor's house in a coat.

The mayor accepted the fresh beef she had given her, and returned her with two bottles of home-brewed fruit wine and a jar of blueberry jam.

Without waiting for Xu Yin to say anything, the mayor of the town expressed his willingness to raise beef cattle with her, but his family mainly ran a farm, and could not spare enough land to raise cattle, so he could only raise a few heads.

Xu Yin said: "I can give you two ends here." In the first year, everyone was worried that they would not be able to raise it, so they simply raised it all by me. I have a lot of land over there, so I don't have to worry about pasture, I have bought enough seeds and will sow them in the spring. ”

When the mayor heard that he could still claim it, he said happily, "Then I'll let Willis help you when I'm free." ”

Xu Yin did not object.

She is really short of manpower, and by the way, she asked the mayor to help keep an eye on the people who came to Cook Town to find work, and she had to recruit a lot of workers in the spring.
