Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 330 Making money is the foundation (1)

  Woke up early in the morning, ran around to bring back breakfast as usual, and when Jian Heng returned home, he saw his father and mother making faces, as if someone owed them two hundred dollars.

   "What's the matter?" Jian Heng put down and asked earlier.

   "The old thing insists on planting that rotten land, it's not shameful enough, what kind of place is that, it's a mass grave, a mass grave" Sun Xiuying said angrily.

  Jian Zhenhua immediately said: "What is bad land? It is good land that can grow crops! Besides, we Communists don't believe in that evil!"

As soon as Jian Heng heard about this, he immediately slapped a few sloppy words, turned around and went into his sister's room, pulled the little girl out of the warm bed, put on her clothes and carried them outside, when the family sat down to have breakfast, The old couple still looked at each other disliked.

Both Jian Heng and Jian Ningning ate with their eyelids twitched, and neither of them had the intention to get involved in this kind of thing. First, they offended the other if they pleased one, and second, who would like that piece of shit? place.

The little girl Ning Ning ate very fast this morning. In the past, the meal that took at least half an hour was finished in less than ten minutes today. He held Jian Heng's hand and said that he was going to school.

  The brothers and sister got into the car, and Jian Heng was about to drive, when he heard the little girl sitting in the co-pilot seat, he sighed like a little grown-up.

"Hey! You're not at home. Now you know how difficult it is for me to be at home. The two of them would quarrel every now and then, and sometimes they couldn't be persuaded!" Is lonely.

Jian Heng stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head: "Okay, you are still playing deep with me, don't look at how old you are, and you have not wet the bed for a few years, just like a little adult of".

  Ning Ning glanced at his brother: "This is some old almanac, I even took it out!"

   After finishing speaking, he looked up at the window on the second floor of the house, and sighed again: "It's really worrying, I have to worry about them while going to school!"

Hahaha!

  Jian Heng couldn't help being happy, started the car, sent the little girl to school, and turned around when he came back. Jian Heng found that there was no way to stay at home, so he drove the car and turned directly out. It's completely aimless, just drive along the road, and watch the scenery on both sides by the way.

  Walking and walking, the car drove into a small town, and the sign at the entrance of the town said Liu Ji. No need to ask, the town was called Liu Ji.

  The town is not big, just a few hundred households. Of course, such a small town can be considered a small town in Montana, but in China, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, this size can only be a small town.

The roads in the small town are well repaired, and the houses are better repaired. A row of uniform two-story buildings are neatly lined up on both sides of the road like sentinels. It is a standard Chinese-style building that requires order and unity. They all look the same.

  Small towns like this have no characteristics of life, like parts assembled in a factory.

The town is very lively today, because from time to time you can see someone driving a few or a dozen cattle on the roadside of the town. Because there are cattle on the road, you can see a few piles of cattle on the green grass on the roadside from time to time manure. It's just that everyone's quality is better, or they are afraid of being fined on the road, but there is no cow on the road, and naturally there is no cow dung.

   Parked the car on the side of the road, Jian Heng got out of the car, and curiously asked an old man who was driving a cow.

   "Old man, what are you doing, where are you going to drive the cattle?" Jian Heng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, knocked out one and handed it to the old man.

The old man turned his head and saw that it was a young man. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he saw the soft Chinese handed over by the young man, his expression immediately improved a lot. The company weighed the cows today! I didn’t catch up yesterday, and today I brought the cows up from the village below.”

   "Weighing a cow?" Jian Heng said and directly patted a pack of cigarettes into the old man's hand: "What is called a cow?"

The old man replied: "We signed a contract with the company, and we also took the calves home to raise them. At the end of the year, how many catties the cows have raised, and then the company will accept the cows raised by us with different beef grades. When cows are collected, they have to be weighed, so they are called weighing cows, young man, I don’t think you are a local, do you?”

   "I am from the county seat"

Hearing what the old man said, Jian Heng just remembered that this Liuji is the so-called ecological cattle breeding industrial park in the county. Thinking of this, Jian Heng's interest greatly increased. It was originally a ranch, so Jian Heng decided to take a look .

  The old man shook his head and said: "It's not like, you look like a boss, and you are not a small boss!"

  Jian Heng smiled and said: "By your auspicious words, I will be a big boss in the future, but old man, I am quite curious about this, why don't I follow you to have a look?"

  The old man waved his hand directly after hearing this: "If you want to go, go, it's not a state secret. If you want to see it, come with me!"

   After speaking, the old man drove the cows ahead, while Jian Heng was a small step behind the old man, helping the old man to drive some disobedient cows from time to time.

The judgment acquired by cutting cows makes it easy for Jian Heng to determine which cow wants to slip away and which cow wants to be lazy. , the cattle can’t be served, it is almost equal to the state of semi-free-range breeding, because the cattle in the United States are much more difficult to manage than the domestic cattle, just like a teenager who is doing junior high school problems, suddenly there is a man in front of him. Zhang's elementary school test paper, it is natural that the performance is more than enough.

   "Young man, there are two times. I think you are the big boss who raises cattle!" The old man watched Jian Heng's performance all the way, and only said to Jian Heng when he was at the door.

   Jian Heng showed a bit of 'stupidness' on his face, and after laughing a few times, he asked the old man, "Can I help you drive in?"

   "Okay, I'll trouble you then," the old man began to stand aside as he said.

  Jian Heng naturally stood on the other side, but Jian Heng was particular about his position, standing in the middle and rear of the herd, so that the entire cows were within Jian Heng's control.

  As soon as the old man drove a few cows through the door, a man in his thirties in uniform came up and walked towards Jian Heng.

   "Show me your breeding certificate!"

  Jian Heng stretched out his finger to the old man, indicating that he is not the owner of the cow.

  The man in uniform glanced at Jian Heng, and then walked towards the old man. While the old man was communicating with the man in uniform, Jian Heng observed the surrounding situation.

This is probably the former wheat drying field, which is a bit abandoned now. Of course, it may also be the campus of the former school, because Jian Heng also saw traces of a basketball hoop. Generally speaking, it is a large open space, which is now empty. Several areas were temporarily separated on the ground. The largest area should be the cattle received by the company. Visually, there are no less than two, three, or four hundred cattle. The species are different, and the physique is slightly different.

Some friends in the south may rarely see scalpers, because there are many paddy fields in Nanjin, and buffaloes are generally used. Compared with buffaloes, scalpers have a disadvantage that they have a bad temper. Of course, if you eat meat, the meat of scalpers is better. .

While Jian Heng was watching, there was an argument between the cow farm and the cow collector over there. After listening to it, Jian Heng understood why the cow farm felt that his cattle were heavier, and why the money was less than the family above. He has a lot of money.

As soon as Jian Heng heard it, he knew that this person was either a new breeder or a troublemaker. The weight of a cow is indeed a very important indicator, but it is not the only indicator, nor is it the most important indicator. The most important thing is whether the beef is good or not. The ratio of muscle and fat, the so-called marbling of beef is the embodiment of this standard.

To put it bluntly, it does not mean that the more fat the cow has, the better the beef will be. But this raised cow can tell at a glance that most of the time it is fed is feed, even grain-fed. Not to mention, pure feed cattle, I don’t know how much hormones are fed to raise such fat cattle. In the United States, the only way to send cattle to fast food restaurants is to make burgers.

  The company was originally meant to make money, and it was impossible to buy it at a high price because of the nonsense of a cattle farm, so the voices of the two parties became louder and louder.

Jian Heng is naturally not interested in watching people quarrel, but when he saw the name of the company, he took out his mobile phone to search, and Jian Heng saw that the company actually produced the so-called green beef, and the company's website was printed with organic food logo.

  Looking at the organic food logo on the mobile phone, and seeing that these purchasers also purchased this hormone cow, Jian Heng immediately put a black label on this company.
