The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 51 51. Small World Plantation

As for doing business with the reservation, the results will probably come out in a few days.

The newly appointed Indian chief is committed to breaking the racial blockade and taking his money to the world.

Charlie said: "The chief's ambition is so great that he unabashedly wants to use money to buy back the paradise where their ancestors once lived."

As far as Lin Feng knew, the person he wanted to do business with was a Sioux tribe whose chief was named Geronimo.

The name comes from the last chief of the Apache tribe in the southwestern United States and the last national leader to lead Indians against whites on a large scale.

After the defeat, Geronimo attended Theodore Roosevelt's presidential inauguration ceremony, but of course this was not his intention.

Everything indicates that the future of Montana pastoral areas will not be too peaceful, because the indigenous people are eager to get back the land, rivers, mountains and living space that originally belonged to them.

Fortunately, the lakeside is still some distance away from the reservation. The closest one is the Cassidy's Witch Ranch. It is estimated that his father has a headache every day with such a neighbor.

"Okay, no matter what, go and take a look before talking, and stay the same to cope with the changes.

Before, working for Uncle Frank, I didn’t have to worry about it myself, but now I have to face these real problems as a rancher.

In short, the magnificent river valley town is not as peaceful as it seems, but Lin Feng can still live his own peaceful life, such as developing the black land of the small world.

There are no crops grown on the pasture, so we need to go to the supermarket frequently to buy fruits and vegetables. These cannot be stored for a long time like cans, and they will become stale even if they are placed in the refrigerator.

Developing the black land of the small world has become a very necessary task.

Compared with planting in the real world, it is much easier in the small world. Not only does it grow faster, but you don’t have to worry about insect diseases. It’s like being in invincible mode.

The wild grass that was planted inside for experiments has grown to nearly one meter tall. The same type of grass in the real world is only twenty or thirty centimeters, which is enough to prove the impact of the small world on plant growth.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights were on in Old David's cabin. He packed up all the uneaten venison and took it over. He was probably drinking.

Lin Feng told David that he was too tired during the day and needed to go to bed early.

Then he turned off the light and locked the door of the room and entered the small world. He left Wayne in the room and came in to report if there was a knock on the door or if there was any movement in the ranch.

It's daytime in the small world, the sun is shining brightly and it's very warm. It feels like September and autumn in my hometown.

The white house was still the same as when I left it last time. The quilts were folded neatly and there were slight marks of being pressed against the mattress.

The flower bone on the golden apple tree seems to be a little bigger. It is as hard as a piece of metal when held in the hand. In short, it is definitely not a serious flower bone.

The first golden apple grew overnight. I wonder if this one will surprise me one day.

Putting on his work clothes, Lin Feng began to work.

First of all, the black soil area of ​​the small world is not large, but it is enough to support a family of three. After all, the plants inside grow very fast.

To be honest, he doesn't know how to grow vegetables and has never done it before. He relies on searching for tutorials on the Internet.

Black soil is rich in organic matter and is the most fertile soil.

In terms of vegetables, Chinese cabbage was used as an experiment. Firstly, Lin Feng likes to eat cabbage stewed with vermicelli. Secondly, cabbage is relatively easy to grow.

I have to admit that the black soil in the small world is indeed good, very fertile and the soil is loose. Even a layman like him can see it.

The seeds were bought by Charlie for help. After loosening the soil, he spread the seeds as he walked, keeping intervals according to a certain pattern to avoid being too dense.

Sprinkle half of the bag, then use the bucket to pour it around, and you're done. Leave the rest to the little world.

As for fruits, he started with dragon fruit, which is also one of his favorite fruits.

The dragon fruit is planted next to the Chinese cabbage. The two together account for about one-fifth of the entire black soil. From this look, it is possible to build a vegetable garden with a rich variety of vegetables.

Maybe you can also raise some poultry such as chickens or geese, and the taste will definitely be far beyond imagination.

Just when Lin Feng was about to lie down in bed and take a rest, Wayne suddenly ran in, looking like he was in an emergency.

Living far away from urban areas, no news is the best news.

After going out, I found that my phone rang just now, and it was a message from David.

"Come to me for a drink if you can't sleep."

Lin Feng glanced at the wooden house in the distance, the lights were still on. The old man was planning to stay up all night. He was probably thinking about that little bit of venison, which would definitely not taste as good as it does now the next day.

Lin Feng changed his clothes and prepared to go over to see how rich the old man's nightlife was, and at the same time took Wayne with him.

The German Shepherd brothers sleep with Joey, the little brown horse. Perhaps they feel safer with an animal much larger than themselves.

Wayne became Lin Feng's personal guard, one person and one dog were inseparable.

The large Caucasian dog makes people feel safe, and the downy fur can be used as a pillow in special cases.

When we arrived at the wooden house at the far end, we found David reading a book and taking a sip of wine from time to time.

Lin Feng was quite surprised that this old man could still read.

Not wanting to disturb him, he prepared to leave quietly, but David saw him in the mirror and took the initiative to call Lin Feng back.

"Wayne, how about you come in and get something to eat."

As he spoke, David tore off a piece of meat and threw it to Wayne, who jumped into the air and swallowed it, moving like an acrobat.

Lin Feng looked around and said with a smile: "The house is well kept, very clean, and the decorations are in line with your taste."

This is a compliment, not a mockery.

David certainly kept the house tidy, and it was difficult to reconcile his rough appearance with the scene before him.

He is the one who dares to speak carefully.

Seeing Lin Feng come in, David smiled and said, "It seems I'm not the only one who can't sleep."

Of course, after all, Lin Feng had just finished physical work and was very energetic now.

Like the villa and wooden house, David's house does not have natural gas or gas. In addition to the electric stove and oven, he set up a wood-burning saucepan near the door.

The whole house smelled of venison, and there were a lot of condiments and various side dishes in the pot.

The old man knows food.

“This is how Hungarian broth is made, except I replaced the beef with venison, and it tastes just as delicious.”

Lin Feng looked at the steaming stew pot. In addition to the meat, there were several side dishes such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc. It was a bit like tomato and beef brisket soup, which made people very appetizing.

Lin Feng filled a bowl. It tasted really good but a little spicy. It was even better when paired with a bowl of rice.

I chatted with David about his family and found out that the eclectic old cowboy still had a wife. I always thought he was widowed or divorced.

Due to personality reasons, David and his wife were separated three years ago.

In addition to their eldest son, who works as a livestock policeman in Riverdale, they also have a younger son named Colter, who is working hard for his dream in Billings.

Billings is a farming and ranching city located in eastern Montana.

Colter played for the Billings Broncos of the Baseball Development League. After graduating from college, he wanted to enter the professional league, but he has not achieved much yet.

David, by contrast, would surely have loved being the eldest son of a livestock policeman, having inherited his family ambitions after all.

"Why doesn't your wife live with you?" Lin Feng asked.

David shook his head and said with a naive smile: "We started to separate a few years ago, partly due to personality reasons, but the main reason is because of Colt."

David hopes that Colter will give up his unrealistic baseball dream and find a job in a down-to-earth manner.

His wife thought exactly the opposite.

"I watched Colt play baseball. Can you imagine a duck swinging a stick? That's it." David said with a half-smile.

After chatting for a while, Lin Feng thought that Colter seemed a bit sissy.
