American Ranch

Chapter 49 Morning in the Ranch 【Please recommend, recommend, collect】

In early spring, the prairie is still covered with ice and snow.

The long stretch of crystal clear ice ridges under the eaves...

The ice and snow in many parts of Montana began to melt, and at higher altitudes, black manure began to be spread to speed up the melting of ice and snow.

At dawn, Chen Mo heard the sound of a tractor in the distance, got up and put on a thick down jacket and went downstairs to cook.

As soon as the plump rice came out of the pot, Chen Xiao walked into the kitchen lightly: "Brother, I'll help you."

"Just don't make trouble for me." Chen Mo took out a piece of filet mignon.

The difference between filet steak and sirloin steak is that filet steak is sirloin, with more lean meat, high protein, low fat, and is the most tender meat on the sirloin.

In China, it is most suitable for frying celery, which is tender and fragrant...don't mention it.

There are big potatoes and onions in the kitchen.

Chen Xiao pouted, Chen Mo smiled, and handed her a knife: "Peel potatoes."

"receive."

The steak was specially taken out last night and defrosted naturally. Chen Mo cut the steak into thin strips...

Chen Xiao often helps with housework and cooking at home.

The brothers and sisters had been busy in the kitchen for a short time, and the preparations for the dishes were completed.

The meal was not ready, Chen Mo came to the living room, threw charcoal into it, and let the fire start.

Most of the homes here have fireplaces, some only provide heating for the living room, and some are connected to a heating system by the fireplace...

This fireplace is a home heating system connected to radiators, and there are several heat preservation water storage tanks. As long as the fireplace is burning, the home will have hot water 24 hours a day.

Chen Xiao opened the living room door to let in the cold air from outside.

Erha is the most active in the cold weather, slipping out with a 'whoosh', howling.

Ala doesn't like cold weather very much, so she sleeps in her nest...

After Erha's cry, Chen Mo's parents went downstairs, and Chen Chen and his wife also woke up, coming from the next door...

Chen Mo opened the garage door, there was a pickup truck inside, tried to start the car, and turned on the air conditioner: "Second, get in the car."

"Where are you going...I'm going too." Chen Xiao climbed into the car first and occupied the passenger seat.

For the two-door version, you have to get up from the passenger seat in the back row. Chen Mo glared at her sister, and the girl stuck out her tongue to make way for Chen Chen and Zhang Xia to sit in the back row: "Dad, Mom, let's go out soon. return."

"Oh, drive carefully."

The concrete road is slippery in ice and snow days, especially in the morning, when Chen Mo drove on the dirt road... The wheels of the wheels crushed the ice slag and creaked.

The morning is hazy, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance can be vaguely seen, which is not as clear as the sunny day.

"Snow Mountain Ranch has about 8 acres. There are several large areas, grazing areas, grasslands...the ones with wooden fences are the grazing areas. Usually, cattle are driven into the grazing areas in April, and they can almost grow in mid-October. Shelf cattle. Winter is the best season for fattening, and they are raised in cattle pens. The planting area is about 6 hectares, and it is divided into natural planting area and irrigated garden planting area. The rest is mountain forest and Gobi..."

"The feed factory, we came here yesterday, the place where the helicopter landed."

"Then there is the cattle farm. The cattle farm is divided into breeding areas, fattening areas, and fattening cattle areas. They are different. Sheep farms... are almost the same. Then there is the office area. The ranch has its own vaccine station and laboratory, all in this area."

"Don't think that working on the ranch is easy. The workers here must at least have several skills. Working in the breeding area, one of the two people has a veterinary certificate, and the other must know how to maintain machinery. Working in the planting area, almost everyone has Know how to maintain machines..."

"The ranch has more than 5000 cattle and nearly 21 breeding cattle. There are also about [-] sheep and a chicken farm...the entire ranch has [-] people now. It is estimated that a group of new employees will be recruited after the spring. "

Chen Mo talked about the general situation of the ranch, came to the machinery warehouse next to the feed factory, and asked someone to open the warehouse door.

Snow Mountain Ranch is the integration of many pastures.

When the ranch was expanded, some ranchers directly packaged and sold them, including the machinery and vehicles in the ranch, to Chen Mo.

After the integration of some things, the Snow Mountain Ranch was sold when it was not needed.Others stayed, like pickup trucks...

There used to be four decent pickups in the warehouse, two Toyota Tundras, one F250 (converted to a tractor), and one Dodge Ram 1500.

RB cars are famous for their durability, and the Dodge Ram 1500 is super handsome.

"Choose one and drive it first." Chen Mo cleaned up two more all-terrain off-road vehicles...

Chen Chen fell in love with Dodge at a glance, even Chen Xiao next to him also fell in love with this one...

In the end, Chen Xiao drove the Dodge, and Chen Chen drove the Toyota.

The Snow Mountain Ranch is really big, and it takes more than ten kilometers to go back and forth.When I got home, my parents cooked the dishes...

After breakfast, the family drove three pickups to the ranch.

Chen Mo's parents drive one, Chen Chen and his wife drive one, and Chen Xiao still rides in Chen Mo's car...

"Brother, why did you buy this ranch? It should cost a lot of money." Chen Xiao knew that Chen Mo got an antique vase from somewhere and sold it for 6000 million RMB.

6000 million RMB is a lot, but this ranch cannot be bought anyway.

"I found a gold mine here, and then bought the land of the gold mine with a loan..." Chen Mo shrugged and laughed.

"Where is the gold mine?"

"It's all been dug, and there are some tailings left. After the ice and snow melt, I will take you to pan for gold."

"That gold mine is huge?"

"It's very small, with high gold content. A sedimentary gold mine...you can't understand it if you talk too much."

Chen Xiao puffed her cheeks: "It's too legendary, like a movie."

Chen Mo lit a cigarette and opened the window: "What are your future plans?"

"You are so rich, you can support me."

"I'll wrap your head around you. You're not ashamed to think about being old when you're young."

"You're my brother, how's it going with you? Anyway, I've been used to it since I was a child." Chen Xi grinned.

"Whether you or Chen Chen, I won't give you money for nothing. Tell me, from childhood to adulthood, how much I have suffered to support the two of you to study..."

"I know, I know, my brother is the best."

Chen Mo's tense face softened, and he patted his sister on the head: "At least...you have to be like Chen Chen, you have to work to get paid. There is no free lunch..."

Feed is being fed in the cowshed, fed by the loading cart.

One person can feed a thousand heads in less than half an hour.When the cows are full of food and drink, the gate is opened to let them out of the cowshed and move around in the fence...

No. 2 cowshed did not let the cattle out, and Canlby took the veterinarian to check the health of the herd.

There is no full feeding in the cowshed, and there are many empty positions.

Chen Mo approached Camerby and asked about it. The vacant positions were all pregnant cows, and they were moved to No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 cowsheds.

Among them, a very small number of cows were pregnant before they were bought back, and then there are cows that are pregnant this winter, and the number of pregnant cows has exceeded [-].

This is good news.
