American Ranch

Chapter 318 I Didn’t Eat Yesterday 【Subscription】

Another major event happened recently. After a referendum, the town of Nadak was successfully merged into the town of St. Bernie.

The population of Saint Bernie Town officially exceeds 2000, most of which belong to the original residents of Nadak Town, and then are the employees recruited by River Valley Ranch and Valley Ranch.

If you do not have a household registration in the United States, you will automatically become a resident of a certain place after you go to the local vehicle management office to register your driver's license.

St. Bernie's also has stuff auctioned off, land.For nearly [-] acres of land, the small town can retain part of the land auction funds and let the city government take the bulk.

Under the financial crisis, the life of government units is not easy.Relatively speaking, the economy of St. Bernie Town is much better, like a paradise.

After seeing tomorrow's auction items, Chen Mo packed up his things and prepared to go back. Moxi licked his face and asked with a smile: "Boss, at what price can you get a good price for the car you sent to the auction?"

"Ferrari 812 is a new car, it's only for transfer, and the financial crisis came before it was delivered." Chen Mo shrugged and laughed.

When buying a car at a car dealership, some cars can be transferred as long as a deposit is paid. After the transfer, the owner needs to pay the balance.The final payment can be in cash, or through bank mortgages... usually bank mortgages. Banks have different credit ratings for customers in different periods.When the financial crisis came, those who could have borrowed 30 US dollars could only borrow 10 US dollars or less...

As long as the transfer is completed, even if they are not delivered to the customer, these cars are still used cars.

Such used cars are much cheaper than new cars. Even if there is no financial crisis, such cars can be found on the used car website.

"Like Mavericks, if there is no financial crisis, the price in the car dealership will be doubled."

"Then you can buy a few for collection." Moxi smiled and said, "By the way, I came back from San Jose yesterday. On the San Jose Stock Exchange, in the off-market area, Huafeng Group's stock fell to $5.3. The group's operation is It’s not that something is wrong, I see that there are a lot of pending orders to sell stocks... our ranch employees are a little panicked.”

At the beginning of the year, Hegu Catering Company was merged into Huafeng Group. At that time, it was still Hegu Ranch, and almost all employees held shares in Huafeng Group.

"There is no comment on commercial secrets." Chen Mo shrugged and said.

"I can't tell either?"

"Huafeng Group has shut down dozens of restaurants one after another, and now it can basically achieve a balance of payments... That's all, don't tell the outside world."

Moxie nodded.

The shares of Huafeng Group can still be held, and the closure of dozens of restaurants is not a big problem for the entire group.The group holds sufficient cash, and will soon start investing and bargain hunting.

Back home, Ai Li and Chen Xiao squatted in the yard to cut the tips of the brook snails, which was half a barrel.

"I..." Chen Mo said with a big head, "Why did you pick up so many snails again?"

Snail is Ellie's name.

For example, field snails and river snails are called "water snails" by many people here.

"My sister-in-law asked me to pick it up."

"Delicious." Ellie stuck out her tongue, and now she likes to eat these brook snails at home.

As a snack, it is especially enjoyable to accompany beer.

"Brother." Chen Xiao raised his head and shouted.

"What?"

"The court judgment has been issued, and the divorce certificate is on the way to the United States."

Chen Mo's chest was a little stuffy: "It's pretty good."

This time the divorce was very unpleasant, Zhou Ziyu's mother wanted the divorce fee.At the beginning of the period, Zhou Ziyu didn't dare to fart, but later he seemed to have a fight with his mother... Anyway, the divorce was decided by the court, which was very annoying.

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile: "Second Brother said that there are hairy crabs in the Big Calabash Valley, we will catch them after you finish your work."

"Row."

Ellie licked her lips: "Are the hairy crabs delicious?"

"You foodie... I don't know either. I've never eaten hairy crabs. I heard they're delicious." Chen Mo patted Chen Xiao's head, looked at Ellie, and smiled.

"Save some for me, I have to go back to school to hand in my thesis tomorrow. I won't be back until the afternoon..."

"It's not about catching tomorrow, but after tomorrow."

"Oh. Then wait for me to go together..."

Many people may not know that there are hairy crabs in California.There was congestion at the estuary gate of the Central Valley, and that incident was on the news...

I heard that there used to be a lot of hairy crabs in California, and it will be flooded in a few years.It was during that time that the ban on eating freshwater crabs such as hairy crabs was lifted in California...

The United States previously banned the consumption of freshwater crabs such as hairy crabs. It was not unhygienic or unsafe, and it was mainly to protect the marine crab fishing industry.

In the past, the hairy crabs in California were inundated to such an extent that about 75 hairy crabs were caught in one sluice... In the past, the California government spent a lot of money to eliminate the hairy crabs. At most, nearly [-] tons of hairy crabs were directly buried at one time.

California has long developed a ban on hairy crabs, and restaurants can also sell hairy crabs, and an embarrassing situation has followed. The hairy crabs that were flooded in the past are now almost eaten to extinction.

Spicy brook snails, Ellie can fry them by herself.

In the evening, Ai Li and Chen Xiao are cooking, and Zhang Xia is taking care of the children...

Chen's father, Chen's mother, and the others pick walnuts outside. There are more than 2000 acres of walnut orchards. Chen's father and the others can pick more than [-] kilograms every day.

Walnuts are cheap.It's so cheap that it can't be sold, and a ton can be sold for more than 400 US dollars in wholesale.Now the family has bought a walnut peeling machine, a walnut shelling machine, and a manual oil press... The walnuts picked every day are used for oil extraction, and they are sold in small towns, and the sales are not bad.

Ai Li fried brook snails at home, and Chen Mo and Chen Xiao went to the field to help their parents bring back the walnuts they picked...

"Dad, isn't it boring for you to pick walnuts every day? These things are worthless..." Chen Mo would help carry the walnuts every day when he came back, and later he would help peel the walnuts, remove the kernels, and squeeze the oil.

"We don't have anything to do here, and we are idle. 1 kilogram (kg) of walnut oil can be sold for 20 dollars, and we have earned more than 2000 dollars." Chen's father said with a smile: "These hundreds of acres ([-] acres) A few acres) of walnuts are all picked, which can make a lot of money.”

The squeezed walnut oil is directly sent to the supermarket in the town of St. Bernie for sale.Everyone in the town knows that the walnut oil squeezed by Chen Mo's father is still pure walnut oil, and the walnut oil ordered is thousands of kilograms.

In Chen Mo's opinion, these are worthless.

Dad Chen and the others were different. Looking at the walnut grove outside, it was like looking at dollar bills, with green eyes.

You want them to leave this walnut grove now, maybe they will turn against you...

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I've eaten snails." Ellie fried the brook snails and had already eaten them secretly, with red oil on the corner of her mouth.

The smile on Father Chen's face was a bit stiff...

I often eat brook snails, my stomach is not good when I am old...

Zhang Xia hugged the child beside her and burst out laughing.Father Zhang complained secretly, and asked Zhang Xia to tell Ellie to eat less fresh water snails...

"Hey, you eat first. You eat first..." Father Chen had a headache.

Chen Mo couldn't stand it any longer: "Ai Li, Qingshui snails are okay to eat once in a while, but often, every day...it's not good for your health."

"I didn't eat yesterday."

The family set the table outside, drank beer, and picked snail meat with toothpicks.

Ellie really likes to eat these, and now she is even more fond of spicy food. She always eats steak with chili noodles... Today's Xishui snails have a higher level of spiciness.Not to mention dad and the others, Chen Mo couldn't bear it...
