Chapter 25 The Little Lamb Worth Over Ten Thousand Dollars
Two more days passed and there was still not a single drop of rain falling on Lanai.

The temperature is as high as [-] degrees Celsius every day, and it has been exposed to the sun for a long time. The lawn of the Four Seasons Hotel Golf Course is already showing signs of yellowing. The only way to keep the grass alive is by sprinkling water.

The water source for irrigating the golf course comes from seawater desalination equipment.

Considering the newly built photovoltaic power plant on Lanai Island, the cost of desalinating seawater is barely within the acceptable range.

If the re-laying of the golf course is based on the labor cost in Hawaii, then the expenditure can be severe.

A new day has just begun.

Pull the curtains to see, it's another bright sunny day.

During the breakfast, some tourists greeted Suri and praised the weather on Lanai Island, which is very suitable for finding a place for a picnic.

But the rancher couldn't be happy, so he forced a smile on his face and chatted with the other party.

According to this temperature, it may take three or four days, and the originally fresh and tender grass will die in pieces.

After the meal, he was driving a newly bought convertible Phantom, with a pair of black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. Suri's hair fluttered while driving, and said to Amanda's secretary beside him:
"I learned about it from the Internet last night, and I also found someone to contact a climatologist at the University of Hawaii. They told me that whether it is Lanai or other islands, the local plants mainly rely on the alternation of day and night, the mist generated by the temperature difference to survive, and the precipitation Far less than many places in the mainland. You see that the Lanai Ridge is relatively high and produces a lot of water mist, and the plants can absorb enough water droplets, so it doesn't matter."

"……so what?"

"So even if it doesn't rain, as long as the temperature drops a little, not as hot as it has been in recent days, the dew will dry up quickly, and the pasture will still have a chance to survive. The rest can only pray, pray that the heavy rain will end as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry about it again." After one year of running the ranch, they lost all their money.”

Suri walked along the winding road.

The roots of the big trees on the side of the road are relatively deep, not as fragile as pastures, but still lush.

In the back row of the convertible Phantom, Daju was lying on the seat and was also wearing a seat belt. Due to his fat body and round waist, he was barely able to hold him down.

Next to Daju, there is an electric Porsche 911 toy car.

The last time I came to deliver the car, the car dealer forgot to bring this gift with me. Later, Secretary Amanda called to remind me that the car dealer in Honolulu re-delivered the car.

Through the FedEx channel, the toy car was packed and sent to the pier on Lanai Island, and I just got it this morning.

Su Rui, who drove the car himself, continued at this moment:
"If this batch of pasture really can't be kept, and finally dies, we must replant some more drought-tolerant pasture next time. The old cowboy Andy told me yesterday that the second batch of cattle and sheep should be ordered as soon as possible, even if it costs money from Oregon. Buying hay is better than wasting a few months, and you can discuss it with him later."

"Good boss, the ryegrass we are planting now is a perennial plant with a height of [-] to [-] centimeters when it grows up. I remember the businessman who sold the grass seeds mentioned that their root system is only about [-] centimeters. The surface layer of the soil, so it will suffer from the drought."

Secretary Amanda was not in charge of the transformation of the pasture, and she was not blamed. She was still calm at this time, mainly because it didn't rain, so it was useless to rush.

Su Rui looked sideways at the grass on the side of the road. Some places had turned slightly yellow and withered. He sighed and said:

"How tall is it now, at most thirty centimeters? It's a critical period when it needs water and thrives. It's a pity..."

Arrive at the location of the cattle pen.

Su Rui took down the toy electric car, turned on the switch, and let Daju play by himself.

This fat guy is much smarter than a normal cat.

On weekdays, as long as you have enough food, you don’t need to worry about anything else, such as turning on the TV and tuning channels, going to the toilet to flush the toilet, turning on the tap to drink water, etc., Daju can do it himself.

Seeing it driving away, still "meowing" in its mouth, Secretary Amanda said with emotion:
"This kind of scene, even if I saw it once in a car dealership, it's still unbelievable. Boss, you should make a video of it, maybe it can really attract the car company, and spend money to ask Daju to help you do the endorsement."

Su Rui didn't lack those three melons and two dates, and he was even more worried that Daju would be targeted.

The value of an internet celebrity cat should also not be underestimated, maybe it will attract thieves, kidnap it and sell it.

At any rate, he was a lifesaver... Enmao, and it was so strange.

Of course Su Rui knew which was more important, so he waved his hands calmly and said, "Let's talk about it next time when you have time, just keep an eye on it and let it play by itself."

Just happened to meet Little Rock, who just came to work, holding a stupid black-backed albatross in his arms.

When he saw Su Rui, Little Rock seemed to see a savior, with two dark circles under his eyes, he looked haggard and said:

"Boss, this albatross is so noisy at night, it is still flying around my house, making people unable to sleep, and only slept for more than four hours last night. I took care of it for six days, and ate my fish worth more than 100 dollars. The small fish were killed. Fishermen throw it back into the sea and can only spend money to buy it at the pier, can you reimburse me for this money?"

Su Rui almost forgot about the injured black-backed albatross, and asked Amanda's secretary to give three hundred dollars to Little Rock, and said cheerfully:

"For the extra money, you go to the tavern to buy a bottle of whiskey, drink it and sleep well. I will give you half a day off in the morning, and I will say hello to old Mr. Andy, OK?"

Making an OK gesture, Rocky said excitedly:
"Since the first time I met you, I knew you would be a good boss, so I'll go home first!"

The boss asked me to take a holiday, why don't you hurry up?

Abandoning the albatross cub standing blankly on the ground, Little Rock drove his second-hand old Mustang and left quickly.

Kneeling down and staring at the cub for a moment, Sha Niao tilted his head and stared at Suri, probably hungry again, opening his mouth and barking non-stop, it was indeed quite noisy.

Not caring about taking care of it for the time being, and planning to find someone to send it to an animal protection station, Su Rui first went to a corner of the cattle pen to check on the lambs that were just delivered last night.

Different from other sheep and meat sheep.

The newly delivered batch of pure-blooded Valais black-nose sheep, a total of 10,000, cost Suri $[-]+, which is equivalent to [-] to [-] times the price of ordinary sheep and lambs.

The reason why they are purchased is for tourists to watch.

These lambs were airlifted all the way from Switzerland, and an additional batch of cabin cleaning fees was paid, which was expensive. On average, each Valais black-nose sheep was worth over ten thousand dollars.

It is said that there are less than [-] of these dark-faced, cute-looking lambs in the world, and they are often kept as pets. Rare things are expensive, and the price is quite reasonable.

Secretary Amanda leaned over the railing and read it, her eyes were staring, and she praised:
"It's so cute, it's like a big fluffy toy. When I paid, I was still thinking, what kind of sheep is so expensive, and it's more interesting than an alpaca that likes to spit."

Suri smiled and said:
"Different sheep have different fates. What I want is to make tourists feel cute, so that I have a chance to earn back my capital. I will drive them to the grass later, and I will take pictures and post them. This kind of Valais black-nosed sheep used to be Living on a high mountain, it is best to find a shady place to raise it..."
