The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 61 61. Agricultural Machinery Purchase

Jia Simin listened to Lin Feng's past stories with her lips pouted throughout. She was indeed jealous, but also a little sympathetic.

He told her everything including the conversation he had with his parents after returning home.

"That day I told them that no matter who they are in the future, they must accept my family if they accept me. So, are you still willing to date me?"

Lin Feng was a little worried, and Jia Simin's firm tone made his heart warm.

"Of course, if we can get to that point, I can accept it no matter what your parents are like."

Jia Simin added: "Why don't you take your parents over to live with you? You are helpless in your hometown. The environment here is very good, which is very helpful for physical recovery."

Lin Feng nodded, "It was not stable before, but now everything is on track. I am helping them apply for visas. It will probably take more than a month to review."

Jasmine was happy from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't know what she was happy about.

The two chatted a lot under the stars, and they felt like they were connected to each other.

He sent her home before ten o'clock, and this time Hans didn't go out with a shotgun to "greet" her.

But he stood at the door with his arms folded and leaning against the door frame, making people feel oppressed without speaking.

Lin Feng smiled and waved to Hans, who just moved his shoulders.

"Don't you want to say something, sir?" Lin Feng shouted loudly.

This time Hans responded, "Young man, don't think that the competition will be easy. That competition gathered the best riders in Riverdale Town."

"See you in ten days."

Lin Feng patted his chest, started the car and prepared to go home.

When he woke up the next morning, he found David taking his horse for a walk.

Only then did Lin Feng realize that he had bought two horses yesterday, the 7K horse and the $3500 horse. However, Lin Feng did not intend to call it 3.5K, which sounded only half of 7K.

This horse has yellow hair all over its body and white spots on its head. It looks like Qin Qiong's yellow gelding in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so I decided to call it Huang Ping.

The names 7K and Huang Piao didn’t match very well, so Lin Feng decided to change 7K to Jueying, which was inspired by Cao Cao’s mount during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Huang Qiao Jueying" is quite easy to read and sounds majestic.

In this way, the little brown horse Joey seems to be a bit different, but he is used to being called that.

David led the two new horses in circles around the grass to adapt to the environment. He chose Huang Qiao, saying that the color of the horse matched the wrinkles on his face very well.

Lin Feng whistled after going downstairs, and Joey ran out of the stable.

Lakeside Ranch now has three horses, and can form a cavalry team. After a while, they can drive the cattle to the grove to graze.

Yesterday, the horse owner told him that he should feed ordinary forage first, and wait until they are half full before adding high-quality forage, otherwise their stomachs will be burst.

At that time, Lin Feng nodded and said nothing. There was no difference between ordinary pasture and fine pasture in the lakeside pasture. Some were all pasture that had been irrigated by the well water in the small world. He didn't know which grade it belonged to.

Since Old David moved into the far cabin, Lin Feng has never diverted water from the Little World for irrigation.

The old man stayed at the ranch 24 hours a day, and it was difficult to find opportunities to get water.

But there is no need to worry about this problem now. The effect of the previous irrigation was obvious. It only took a month for the pasture to grow to 70 or 80 centimeters, which is a size that can be harvested.

According to the current scale of the pasture, you can rest assured that there will be forage problems for cattle and sheep during the winter.

According to Charlie's plan, tractors, harvesters and balers should be purchased now, and the latter two can be purchased as trailers.

Charlie told him that although he had more money now, he still had to be sensible and buy high-quality and low-priced second-hand equipment instead of brand-new ones. After all, it would still be more than half a year before the first batch of calves came out.

During this period, sufficient funds should be reserved for emergencies, especially when the cold winter is approaching.

“There are signs that this winter will be colder than usual, so it is more realistic to reserve forage in advance and insulate the cowshed,” Charlie said.

Lin Feng trusted him very much, and Charlie was the military advisor of the ranch. ” ˆ ˆ “By the way, Boss, there is an auction of agricultural supplies this afternoon. We don’t need to try our luck. "

"Where?" Lin Feng asked.

"On the large grassy area east of the town center."

Hearing what he said, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he had accidentally entered an agricultural supplies auction when he was buying a pickup truck. Now he was still very impressed by the Lamborghini tractor.

"We'll go take a look after lunch." He turned to the grass and shouted: "Uncle David! I'm looking after the house today. I asked Charlie to take me out to spend some money."

Old David shouted loudly: "Don't forget to bring me a case of beer, and you'd better get me a fish!"

It was Charlie's turn to take action. He was a meticulous person and had specially prepared a notebook for this trip so that he could calculate which combination was more cost-effective.

The agricultural products auction is like a lawn party for agricultural machinery, with hundreds of products placed on the grass waiting for their new owners.

When he arrived at the scene, Lin Feng glanced around to find the Lamborghini tractor from before. Although he couldn't find it, he saw many strange agricultural machines, as if he had strayed into an alien's outdoor garage.

Some of them were just a long pole equipped with four wheels, and then carrying four mechanical arms of different lengths. In Lin Feng's eyes, he couldn't see its use at all, but there was a circle of people bargaining around the thing.

There is also a device similar to a mechanical spider, with hundreds of thin steel wires trailing densely underneath. At the front are two sharp blades as long as arms. If you fall on it, you can cut yourself in half.

Lin Feng said frankly: "What are these?" I don't know any of them. "

Charlie pointed to a green device and asked: "BOSS, guess what it is used for."

"The large trash can lying on the ground." Lin Feng said deliberately.

"This is a grass baler, which is exactly what our pasture needs. When the tractor pulls the baler, it can automatically bundle the grass and throw it into the box at the back."

Lin Feng noticed that there was a flat mechanical arm at the back of the baler, which should be used to throw the rolled grass into the box at the back.

"This one is good."

After Charlie finished speaking, he wrote down the number of the baler and waited for the auction to start later.

When the two were about to look at the lawnmower, a voice came from behind.

He is a middle-aged fat man with a belly that looks like he is pregnant with triplets. Judging from his uniform, he is the administrator here.

"Hey Charlie, long time no see." The fat manager said with a grin.

Charlie walked over and shook hands with him, "Gavel, how have you been during this time? You look a lot fatter."

"Forget it, I've almost forgotten how to speak human words after dealing with these machines all day!"

"This is my boss, Lin Feng."

"I know you, Riverdale's youngest rancher!"

Administrator Gavel came up to hug him enthusiastically.

Hugging a big fat man, Lin Feng could only feel his extremely round belly.

After some pleasantries, Lin Feng asked about the Lamborghini tractor and why he didn’t see it today.

"Are you talking about that big one? It was just bought by someone last week. It's probably not from Riverdale Town, but probably a farmer from the agricultural area in southern Montana. They like everything big!"

A little disappointed, but Lin Feng heard a new word: southern agricultural area.

He knew that Riverdale Town was located in the northern pastoral area of ​​Montana, on the edge of the reservation, and not far from Canada.

I have only heard about southern Mongolia on TV. The land there is fertile and there are a lot of scattered farms.

"Cowboy from the North and Farmer from the South" is a stereotype that foreigners have of Montana, but it reflects the current situation of the state very well.
