American Ranch

Chapter 12 Giving Ginseng

Funds are running out.

At least 12 knives must be left in turnover, and the remaining 18 knives can be bought as much as you can.

First of all, there must be at least one horse. As for the shepherd dogs, Alsoo has two...

"It's better to raise beef cattle with a single breed, so how about choosing Black Angus cattle?" Chen Mo said after going to Roger Falk Ranch and finding Camerby to discuss.

Canlby talked about the advantages and disadvantages of Angus cattle. It is really good to raise Angus cattle in the snow mountain pasture, mainly because of the convenience of transportation.

The cattle and sheep raised by Roger Falk Ranch are ready to be packaged for sale, with a total of 108 cattle and 350 sheep.Of course it is impossible for Chen Mo to accept everything...

The first is a stud bull that Roger bought from an auction last year for 2.8.Now it's on sale for 2.5...

Calf, according to the weight, the original calf is about 400-550 US dollars.Now the same weight, as long as 350 - 500 US dollars a head.$50 cheaper a head on average...

If you have a good breeding cow, try to choose calves and cows, as well as pregnant cows.

Going around the pastures in several small towns, I bought 79 calves, 105 cows, and 35 pregnant cows, for a total of 15 dollars.Then I bought more than 200 Dorper sheep. Dorper sheep are known as diamond-quality meat sheep, and the price is twice as expensive as ordinary meat sheep...

……

After buying the ranch and buying property, it's now May, and Chen Mo has finally finished his work at hand and is free.

At dawn, Chen Mo lost sleepiness.

The morning in May was still a bit cold, the window of the master bedroom was facing the direction of the sunrise, and there was a red glow at the end of the sky, which indicated that today was a good day.

Chen Mo stretched his waist and took the thermos cup by the bed, opened it...

There are ginseng slices soaked in the thermos, American ginseng slices, two red dates, and a few wolfberries. They were soaked when I went to bed last night, and they are still boiling hot.

I heard from Bai Xiaoou that adding goji berries and red dates soaked in water is good for drinking, and it can resist fatigue, nourish blood and lose weight, and improve immunity.The three ginsengs given to Bai Xiaoou and the others were eaten like this, and they were almost finished, and they planned to get some back in a few days.

During this period of time running around, Chen Mo also felt very tired, lying on the bed watching the sunrise, drinking a sip of ginseng soup from time to time, warming his stomach and feeling very comfortable.

After drinking the ginseng soup, I took the ginseng slices in my mouth, got up, put on my clothes, and went into the space with a thought.

More than ten days ago, Chen Mo transplanted hundreds of American ginseng and twenty Changbaishan ginseng in the woods in the space, transplanted with soil, and they all survived.

After more than ten days outside, the time in the space was only half a year. Chen Mo went in to look at the growth, and it seemed to be better than outside, and then he left the space.

Space flow is too fast.

Chen Mo has thought about planting some fruits and vegetables in the space. The time flow rate is 1:10. If you don't pay attention, you may miss the harvest season.Think about it or give up the idea...

After breakfast, Chen Mo carried a hoe, picked up a Remington shotgun, entered the forest, and headed for Xiaoxueshan.

Xiaoxue Mountain is located at the highest peak of the Snow Mountain Ranch, with a maximum altitude of 1755 meters.The lowest altitude of Snow Mountain Ranch is 1485 meters...

Xiaoxueshan is an independent hill, closest to Daxueshan.Standing on the top of Xiaoxue Mountain, you can clearly see the steep rocky walls of the Snow Mountain...

The Changbai Mountain ginseng species planted here are 7 to 8 years old, and there are also some naturally bred small ginseng.

Sparse ginseng, very dense in some places.Chen Mo dug out the densely growing ginseng and transplanted it into the woods in the space...

More than 1000 ginsengs were transplanted in one day. In fact, Chen Mo spent three days in the space. He only shaved in the morning, and the beard grew back when he returned home at night...

Holding a shotgun, Chen Mo thought he would be lucky enough to meet a wild boar, so he hunted and saved food.

There are a lot of wild boars in the ranch. A few days ago, Mary encountered two herds of more than [-] wild boars while driving a tractor.

Mary is still working, two high-powered tractors are plowing the land, and the fertilizer spreader and seeder are attached behind the plow.The fertilizer is cow dung, fermented cow dung...

300 hectares of land, 50 hectares of corn and 50 hectares of beans. 100 hectares of pastures are planted, including rye, leguminous pasture and so on.Another 100 hectares are planted with grass seeds collected by Chen Mo from the space, similar to alfalfa (clover), with bigger and fatter leaves.

Chen Mo went home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and drove to the ranch.

The 79 calves were driven to the pasture area to graze, and the cows and one bull were raised in the cowshed.

The 105 cows have all reached the size for mating, and Canlby is artificially inseminating them... The work of the cow pen can be done by one person, but the workload of one person is heavy when it comes to cleaning up the cow dung.

Asol drove the cows into the sheepfold, and was cleaning the cowshed. After finishing these, he could get off work. When he saw Chen Mo coming over, he quickly stood up: "Boss."

"I went to the mountains to dig some ginseng today, and I can't finish it by myself, so I'll send some to you."

"Thank you Boss."

Chen Mo waved his hand, it was inevitable to miss digging ginseng, some of them broke the main rhizome, these ginseng could not be transplanted and had to be eaten by himself, he couldn't finish it by himself.

There are more than 7 ginseng dug up today, Chen Mo put down [-] of them for Asol, and said: "This is the variety of Changbai Mountain people, that is, Chinese ginseng, which is different from American ginseng..." Chen Mo told Asol about China Ginseng is different from American ginseng.

All you can eat American ginseng is fine.However, Chinese ginseng is best taken under the guidance of a doctor. If you plan to use Chinese ginseng to nourish your body, you should not use too much at a time, just two or three grams each time.For stewing meat, two or three slices are enough... American ginseng can be eaten every day, but Chinese ginseng can't be eaten once every two or three days or once a week... This stuff is a great tonic, and it is not good to eat too much.

Ginseng can be eaten not only in winter, but also in summer. It can regulate the body's immune function and resist fatigue.

Asor was skeptical, but knowing that these were very expensive things, he gratefully accepted the ginseng, and planned to try it in the way Chen Mo said.

Calby still had a few cows to be bred. After he finished his work, Chen Mo gave him the remaining ginseng, and also talked about the methods and taboos of taking it.

"Boss, the mating of the cows has been completed. I want to come over tomorrow with a shotgun and shoot some wild boars to supplement the meat..."

"Okay. Hit a few more..."

"Are you going to hunt tomorrow? Can I participate? My marksmanship is much better than Canlby's." Hearing about the hunt in Ashol, which was being cleaned up, the old cowboy wanted to show off his marksmanship.

"As long as you don't delay work." Chen Mo said with a smile, "Have you finished eating the beef in the freezer?"

"There are some left, not many. I hope to hunt a few more wild boars, and it would be better to hunt elk..." Canbi knew that Chen Mo's financial situation was very bad.

The rancher does not provide meals, but provides meat to the employees, which is the most basic treatment.Chen Mo paid them a good salary and bought a full range of insurance. They can no longer expect to provide beef every day, although beef is very cheap now...

People in small places don't pay too much attention.Especially in Montana, as long as you are not a wealthy class, everyone is very frugal in life.When you go out to hunt, you will bring home good prey and distribute it to neighbors to eat together. It is not just hunting for hunting as in the legend...
