The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 96 96. Parents are here

When Jasmine heard the news, she said excitedly on the phone: "Honey, I want to go with you to meet your parents!"

For Lin Feng, this is also the moment he has been looking forward to.

In the past, he had kept his relationship with Jasmine a secret because he was worried about Old Hans's disapproval.

Now that his worries have dissipated, he is of course willing to introduce his girlfriend to his parents.

But Jasmine has to go on patrol tomorrow and cannot accompany Lin Feng to pick him up at the airport in Helena.

At this time, Lin Feng's sense of humor came into play, and he decided to give his parents a unique "surprise."

It just so happens that Jasmine's identity as a police officer can add some spice to their plans.

"Dear, I have an idea, I just need your cooperation." Lin Feng said.

Jasmine: "Me? How can I cooperate?"

"Aren't you on patrol tomorrow? We can arrange a 'chance encounter' on your patrol. You conduct an American-style interrogation to add a tense and exciting atmosphere to the first meeting."

Jasmine complained: "Why do you have to do this kind of thing?"

"Add a little surprise."

Somewhat worried: "Surprise? Your parents are not in good health. I'm afraid it will turn into a shock."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, they are not made of paper. This is just to make your first meeting more memorable."

Even though Lin Feng said this, Jia Simin still felt unsure, fearing that she would not perform well in front of Lin Feng's parents. She stressed: "I will listen to you, but you have to make sure everything goes smoothly. I don't want to leave a bad impression on them. It's very important to me."

Lin Feng comforted her gently: "Don't worry, dear, my parents are very easy-going people. They will definitely like you, as long as you are yourself." Hearing Lin Feng's comfort and encouragement, Jia Simin's heart calmed down a little. Some.

On the phone, the two carefully discussed their "accidental encounter" plan tomorrow.

Jasmine kept the phone open while on patrol to ensure the plan went smoothly, while Lin Feng was responsible for showing up at the right time.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng opened the door and walked out of the wooden house. He looked at the cattle and sheep everywhere with his hands on his hips and felt a sense of accomplishment.

When we first arrived three months ago, it was just a patch of weeds, but now it has become a natural pasture full of life.

Of course, even during the day when the sun is still shining, the temperature is hovering around freezing.

If it weren't for the mountains blocking it to the north, the cold wind blowing from Canada could sweep away the entire valley town.

The Indians in the north were not so lucky. There was no obstacle behind them and they could breathe the fresh cold air from Canada every day.

Charlie said: "BOSS, after the grass on the ground is eaten up in a few days, we must consider reducing the time the cattle go out to prepare for the winter."

"What about the sheep?"

"As for the sheep, I suggest they start penning them from tomorrow. The space in the sheep house is enough for them to move around."

"Okay, I'll do as you wish."

Lin Feng thought the same way. Grazing in cold weather was not conducive to the growth of cattle.

The construction team of the construction company is busy at the ranch every day, planning a new enclosed cowshed, a garage and two storage rooms.

The garage and storage room are right next to the wooden villa and connected to the original old warehouse.

The new cowshed is located a little further away on the newly purchased 300 acres of land.

In fact, in warm places like Texas, California, Florida and other states, cattle sheds are not needed at all, and cattle grazing can be achieved year-round.

It’s no wonder that land in Montana is cheap. If it weren’t for the small world’s well water to nourish the land, it would be difficult to run a lakeside ranch. This construction company has only nine people in total, but its equipment is very sophisticated. This may be the reason why there are no major projects in River Valley Town.

The boss is a fat old man with a naturally rosy complexion and extremely white teeth.

Their main business is very wide, ranging from building harbor watchtowers to digging water wells.

According to the fat old man himself, 90% of the wells in the town were dug by them.

When talking to him two meters apart, Lin Feng smelled a smell of alcohol and speculated that it might be another Dedmond-like character. People who live in cold places seem to like to drink to keep warm.

The fat boss asked Lin Feng if he needed to dig a well in the ranch.

"The water pipes are not reliable. If there is any problem, the water will stop for a while."

He's telling the truth, it's like Riverdale's utility department doesn't exist.

The pipes froze in the winter a few years ago, and the ranch was without water for half a month. In the end, Uncle Frank went to the town government and made a fuss before they sent someone to repair it.

But Lin Feng doesn't need it, he has his own well.

The most important thing is the biogas tank. This is a complicated project. Lin Feng chose the location in the woods not far behind the wooden house. It is very remote and almost no one goes there.

Lin Feng originally thought it would be as simple as digging a hole and laying a cement platform, but it turned out that he needed to dig up the entire land behind the wooden house to lay pipes.

The main body of the biogas pool is a large fiberglass tank with excellent sealing performance.

During installation, special yeast strains are put in. When feces and wastewater enter the tank, through fermentation, the solid matter will be greatly reduced, and the treated liquid will become like clean water.

The tank is 20 centimeters above the ground and connected to an underground water pipe that leads to the grass.

There are many small holes in the water pipes, and clean water seeps into the ground of the grass through these small holes.

In this way, the wastewater is treated and the grassland is irrigated, killing two birds with one stone.

The fat boss said: "The biogas pool collects the feces of cattle and sheep and turns it into clean water to irrigate the grass. After eating the grass, they excrete the feces again and use it for watering again. This cycle repeats. In fact, the cattle and sheep grow up eating their own feces. of."

"After a year and a half, they will grow up and can be sent to the slaughterhouse to be exchanged for banknotes."

It sounds reasonable.

In the evening, Lin Feng tidied up the wooden villa again, especially the kitchen, mainly to prevent his mother from finding faults and to prove that he could live a good life alone.

Uncle David was busy in his house. He went out to get a haircut this afternoon and used the bonus to buy a new set of clothes, showing that he attaches great importance to his image.

He is about the same age as his father. I wonder what sparks will come out of the two of them when they get together. It is worth looking forward to.

The next morning, Lin Feng drove to Helena Airport early.

Recalling the scene when he first arrived three months ago, his mood fluctuated with the changes in the surrounding scenery.

I was worried at the time, worried that I would not be able to run the ranch, and worried that no one would take care of my sick parents after I left.

Now, only a hundred days have passed, and Lin Feng has completed his self-transformation. He has integrated into this place, and even speaks with a cowboy accent.

He loved every inch of desert and every tree in Riverdale Town, and was full of affection for everything here, becoming a true pastoralist.

Lin Feng is proud of this.
