The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 14 14. Ranch cleanup

After taking care of the livestock, the next step was pasture, but he still didn't understand anything.

Sometimes it feels amazing that you are engaged in a career that you have no idea how to progress, and you are doing it with gusto and full of hope.

He found that the ranch needed too many things, such as a tractor.

Most men are interested in things with four wheels and an engine, and Lin Feng is no exception.

He actually got excited when he saw the farm machinery at Witch Ranch. He had never felt this way when he saw Ferrari in downtown Helena before.

Lin Feng made an agreement with Cassidy to wait until new grass grows in his pasture before sending the livestock there.

During this period, the cattle and sheep eating and drinking at their home will be paid according to market prices, which is equivalent to paying a childcare fee.

It is better to calculate these accounts clearly to avoid trouble later.

Regarding pasture weeding, spraying herbicides is the fastest and most effective method, but it has serious side effects and can easily cause the land to clump, affecting yields.

Lin Feng found a specialized agricultural company in the town to solve the problem. They earn commissions for serving ranchers, such as renovating land, harvesting forage, transporting livestock, etc.

There are about four such companies in Hehe Town, serving small and medium-sized ranches that lack manpower, material resources and professional equipment.

Large landowners like Otto Ranch have their own agricultural teams, so they don't need to pay for help.

The agricultural company sent people over for on-the-spot inspection, and later said that it would take about three days to complete the project, and that it would send three weeders to start work at the same time.

In addition, Lin Feng chose the alfalfa seedlings they recommended. I heard Cassidy mention it before, and this is the one used most at Witch Ranch.

Alfalfa is known as the king of forage. Once planted, it can be used for ten years. If it grows well, it can be harvested every two to three months, making it stress-free over winter.

It's time to renovate the lawn inside and out. Several new holes have been added in just a few days. This is the masterpiece of small rodents.

If not stopped quickly, they can dig a big hole underneath.

Looking at the messy grassland, the staff member sent by the agricultural company said that he had been to the lakeside pasture before, and the scene of cattle and sheep everywhere at that time was completely opposite to what it is now.

He said with a little regret: "Sir, we will try our best to help your ranch come back to life."

Lin Feng said thank you and everything will be fine.

Early the next morning, several large machines drove into the ranch. They were all big guys who drank diesel. The roar of their engines scared away flocks of birds.

Lin Feng fell in love with their high-voltage electric lawnmower at first sight. It is no exaggeration to describe it as lightning and thunder when it is started.

A large electrical box is dragged behind something similar to a combine harvester. The weeding pole in front is a copper rod. Once the plant comes into contact with the copper rod, the current starts to flow along the stem of the plant, allowing the water in the weeds to Boiling, the cell walls rupture, quickly killing the plant from the inside.

The working principle is a bit scary, a bit like a biological weapon.

Lin Feng pulled out a bench and sat at the door of the wooden house to watch them work. The three lawnmowers drove forward slowly with electric sparks flashing. The two huge front wheels were almost as tall as an adult. The rear wheels were very confusing. I don't know what happened. What kind of help can this design provide in terms of power?

The person driving the lawn mower is a middle-aged man, and an old man is directing the lawn mower. One thing they have in common is that they both like to smoke.

Lin Feng was really afraid that these people would set his ranch on fire. It would take at least half an hour for the fire truck to come.

The uncle said that there are also laser equipment for weeding, which is like laser medical treatment that directly treats the disease. The advantage is that it is faster and less troublesome, but the disadvantage is that the cost is too high.

In short, no one here uses herbicides anymore, they are all relying on high technology. Far away, Lin Feng noticed that an unlucky hare seemed to have been electrocuted. The guy was about to poke his head to see who was demolishing the rabbit, but he bumped into a copper rod and immediately lay down.

Wayne was very happy and wanted to run over to pick up the rabbit carcass, but Lin Feng hurriedly stopped him!

If he didn't pay attention and made a mistake, he would probably pick up Wayne.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, making it warm on the body. This kind of day was very suitable for sleeping.

Wayne, who was lying next to him, had already fallen asleep. The little guy looked like he had nothing to do all day, sleeping when he was full and eating again when he woke up. He was obviously a lot bigger than when he was first adopted.

A few days ago, he was about to be euthanized, and now he has become the "young master" of the lakeside ranch. This is a huge turn in the dog's life.

The condition of its hind legs is getting better and better, and now there is basically no difference in appearance when walking. Only when Lin Feng sensed its inner side through his super power did he know that it had not fully recovered yet.

I plan to adopt a few more in the future to help look after the farm. When the cattle and sheep run around, there will always be four-legged helpers.

It is said that the Caucasian dog also belongs to the category of shepherd dog. It served as a patrol dog at the Berlin Wall in East Germany in the last century. It can not only guard the home and the yard, but also do farm work. It is a practical dog breed that "appreciates both elegance and popular culture".

The little brown horse is living a good life in the small world. Rickets is not easy to recover from, but it has made obvious changes under the moistening of well water every day.

After the cattle and sheep are delivered, they are released and live with everyone. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Tomorrow is the day agreed between Lin Feng and Manager Paul. The flight will fly to Seattle at ten in the morning. In the afternoon, he will meet with the appraiser from Zhenbao Auction House. In the evening, he will probably know how much that thing is worth.

An auction will probably be arranged later, and what Lin Feng needs to do is wait for a sum of money to hit his forehead.

Ever since he got his first golden apple, Lin Feng would walk around the small world every morning to see if a second one would grow, or if golden grass would grow on the land.

Unfortunately, there was no movement except the happy running of the little brown horse.

Early the next morning, after explaining the work to the person in charge of the agricultural company, Lin Feng set off for the Helena Regional Airport.

It's still Paul Schneider, this time he drives a very stylish Lincoln SUV, not an X series, but a Navigator with a domestic price of over one million.

"Your car is really nice. I envy your high-paying career."

Lin Feng said it very sincerely. He also hoped that he could drive a million-dollar luxury car as soon as possible.

Paul shrugged and explained with a smile, "This is the Helena branch's car. If you don't drive it, it won't be used."

When he was about to set off, Paul saw Lin Feng empty-handed and asked him where the golden apple was.

Lin Feng was stunned.

I kept the golden apple in the small world, and I planned to take it out when I got to Seattle, so it would be more convenient and I wouldn’t have to worry about losing it.

He had to pretend to go into the house to get it, then hid in the bathroom, closed the door and quickly ducked into the small world to take out the golden apple.

Wayne and the little brown horse were shocked when they entered!

The two little guys were cuddling together with expressions of enjoyment on their faces. When they saw Lin Feng suddenly barging in, they quickly separated, like an underground couple discovered by their parents.

Lin Feng is a bit messy. These two are so cute, they can't have sex across species, right? This is too bloody!

Lin Feng pointed at a dog and a horse, wanting to say something but couldn't find the right words.

I hope I am overthinking it and it is just pure friendship between animals.
