The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 272 271. Duck Hunting on Lake Center Island

Lin Feng had reservations about Paul's proposal.

He knew that although Paul usually looked carefree and cynical, his proposal to open a restaurant together was definitely not a joke and was the result of careful consideration.

Likewise, Lin Feng will take this matter seriously.

Of course, if you want to build a decent-looking restaurant, it will definitely cost a certain amount of money.

In the fierce competition in big cities in the United States, wine is not as good as the alleys. Good products are useless without good publicity and storefronts.

People in the upper class will not go to a fly restaurant just because you have a piece of steak. Besides, there is always a stable supply of "excellent grade" steaks on the market.

For example, Radebula Ranch in Idaho sells steaks in Seattle and several surrounding big cities. It is said that the taste is also highly praised in all aspects.

In fact, there were many people who asked him to cooperate, and the most sincere one among them was Geronimo.

The plan proposed by the chief was also the most impressive, but due to the special nature of the indigenous people in the United States, Lin Feng has always remained cautious.

The purchase of the tractor was left to Charlie. Lin Feng planned to continue to be his hands-off shopkeeper and gave Charlie a budget of US$40,000.

Ask your right-hand man to get a tractor and some supporting farm tools, and of course buy second-hand equipment.

People here are keen to buy what others have used instead of spending a lot of money to buy new ones. This can save a lot of money and the quality is not bad.

Forty thousand dollars was more than enough, and Charlie said there was a lot to choose from. There was a farm machinery auction in town in the afternoon, and he planned to go and take a look.

Lin Feng was ready to spend a leisurely afternoon.

David and his four Gouzi brothers took care of the cattle and sheep in the distance, while his parents were doing farm work in the vegetable garden. When they were tired, they would go into the hut to drink tea.

Seeing that the vegetable garden is already full, Lin Feng plans to find time to expand its territory.

The most indispensable thing about the ranch is land, and it may be possible to develop it into a large-scale plantation in the future.

When the one thousand acres of land is obtained, in addition to grazing cattle, they will also prepare to open up a piece of land to grow crops. The purpose is not to have a big harvest, but to enrich the natural landscape of the pasture. Looking at the pasture, it is somewhat monotonous and needs some plants to complement it.

It is also more in line with Lin Feng’s future positioning of the ranch, developing it into a natural ecological estate surrounded by mountains and lakes.

Secondly, it is also to please my parents.

Thinking about it, I am still a little excited, a bit like the Western Garden of Eden.

There is no conflict between planting plantations and grazing. A thousand cattle cannot be spread all over the pasture. They will only live in groups in fixed areas, so there is no need to worry.

During this time, my parents set up a trellis in the small vegetable garden and planned to plant some grapes in the future. Although they missed the best planting time in March and April, considering the climate in Montana, it is not a bad idea now.

Lying on a bench and basking in the sun, the temperature in June was neither too cold nor too hot, so it was quite refreshing.

He planned to place several chicken coops in the pasture, otherwise the turkeys would lay their eggs everywhere, making them difficult to pick up.

You don’t need to build a chicken coop yourself, they are sold in the town, they are very cheap and hassle-free.

In the afternoon, Charlie went to town to buy equipment and let him take a look at it. If it was suitable, he could just buy it back.

In addition, this afternoon is also the first day for his parents to learn to drive. Lin Feng plans to send them there in person. He doesn’t know what the temperament of the driving school instructor here is like. Anyway, when he first learned to drive in China, Lin Feng was trained a lot.

I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up I found something spinning around me.

Lin Feng suddenly turned around, and there were two turkeys!
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

For Lin Feng, who had never been exposed to turkeys since he was a child, he was used to seeing domestic chickens with round bodies. It was really scary to see a turkey suddenly appear at close range, especially the large red sarcoma on the neck, which was covered with lumps, like an alien. species.

The turkeys were obviously very curious. They stretched their necks and looked at Lin Feng with their little eyes, which made him laugh.

He stood up and decided to have some interaction with the two turkeys.

Lin Feng slowly approached and stretched out his hand, trying to get the turkey to come over.

The turkeys were a little wary at first, but seeing that Lin Feng had no ill intentions, they gradually came closer. He gently touched the feathers of one of the turkeys. It felt smooth, a bit like touching silk.

The turkey seemed to enjoy the close contact, closing his eyes and letting Lin Feng touch him.

Seeing this, another turkey also came over. Lin Feng smiled and also gave it some love.

The two turkeys seemed to like Lin Feng very much, walking around him as if they were playing with him.

Lin Feng went to the wooden cabinet at the door and took some corn kernels and scattered them on the ground.

The turkeys immediately started to peck at each other, looking very cute. He sat on a bench nearby, admiring the scene of the two turkeys competing for food, and suddenly wanted to drink chicken soup.

I have been eating a lot lately and need something light.

The turkey meat is relatively woody, not particularly delicate, and feels like chewing wood chips.

When I ate it for the first time, I found it hard to swallow, especially for my dad. However, as I got used to it, I didn’t have such an exaggerated reaction and found it quite delicious.

Looking at the turkey's bulging body, Lin Feng felt hungry.

I had only eaten a few slices of bread in the morning and was in desperate need of a big meal to satisfy myself.

His parents were still busy there, and he took it upon himself to provide enough food and clothing.

I raised my head and glanced at Jingjing Lake. It seemed good to eat roast duck.

There is a large group of mallards on the island in the center of the lake, which is a good hunting target.

As early as "Qi Min Yao Shu", there is a record about mallard duck being used as "roast duck", which is somewhat similar to today's roast duck.

However, mallards are now protected animals in China, but they can be shot at will in the United States. Although mallards can be hunted in the United States, certain hunting regulations and seasonal restrictions must be followed.

Lin Feng first checked Montana's hunting regulations online and determined that it was the mallard hunting season now and that he held a legal hunting license.

But on your own territory, even if you kill all the ducks, there will be no problem.

He found a crossbow. It seemed that he hadn't played with it for a long time and had been sitting in the warehouse gathering dust.

Called Wayne, there will definitely be times when it is needed.

Get ready to head to the island in the center of the lake.

The water level of Tranquility Lake has not been replenished, and it has rained some time ago, making it very muddy near the lake shore.

If you want to get close to the little broken boat, you have to walk on a muddy road. Lin Feng went back to the house and brought a pair of water shoes. He could just put them on the boat when the time came.

In fact, he was opposed to this bad path in his heart, but thinking about the delicious roast duck gave him motivation.

With the crossbow on his back, he opened the door to the small world and let Wayne get in. This guy didn't have to walk on the dirt road to avoid turning into a mud dog.

We entered the mud road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Uncle David had passed by before and he said there was no need to worry about sinking in. The ground below was very solid.

At this time, an otter appeared not far away, standing upright and looking at him curiously.

These otters live happily in Tranquility Lake, adding a touch of vitality to the surroundings.

Finally arriving at the boat, Lin Feng bent down and climbed up slowly, took off his water shoes and threw them on the wooden board at the bow of the boat, to be rinsed with lake water later.

Although the boat is broken, it still feels good to paddle.

Lin Feng always reminds Lin Feng of some tunes such as "The waves of Honghu Lake hit the waves". The boat leaves the small pier and slowly enters the quiet lake.

Lin Feng's boat rowed gently on the quiet lake. There were ripples on the lake. The sun shined on the water through the clouds, making the waves sparkling and the scenery was picturesque.
