American Ranch

Chapter 378 A Different Landscape

The sun sets in the west.

The hills of the valley manor are getting farther and higher, sparse and bare grape racks...

Chen Mo went back by car, got off at the glass greenhouse, and went into the greenhouse to have a look.

In the glass greenhouse, there are small white flowers blooming on the Jiabao fruit tree, and the black fruits are densely packed. Chen Mo went to pick a ripe fruit juice...sweet.

The large morels in the glass greenhouse are still producing.There are three or five pills every day when there are many, and there is no one when there are few.Because of its delicious taste and scarce production, it is no longer provided to supermarkets, and it is supplied to local Michelin restaurants and River Valley Catering Company in Napa County...

The cheapest large morels can sell for $1000 a pound, and the most expensive are $2000 a pound.The dish used to make it, a little bit, can be bought for $135-$450.

The most expensive is 2000 US dollars per pound... This has long been listed as one of the most expensive ingredients in the world.

Many people should have heard that, like the caviar of albino sturgeon in the city, a spoonful of processed caviar can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.But that thing is almost extinct.

The most expensive steak, the most expensive steak ever, a French steak after hibernation, more than 3000 US dollars per serving.The most expensive steak right now is River Valley's Bright Bull Tomahawk, which sold for $7500.But that was the auction price, the sky-high price... the normal first-hand price, the most expensive Tomahawk steak under River Valley is 4100 US dollars.But that Tomahawk steak weighs four or five pounds, which is the weight of many individuals...

The most expensive mineral water is not bottled as a selling point... For example, the Kona salt brine produced in the Kona area of ​​Hawaii Island, 750ml, the price is several hundred dollars.

Wine, first-hand wine, that is, the selling price of the winery. In Napa Valley, wines priced at more than one thousand dollars a piece are not too much...

$400 a pound for a Grade B Brett Tomahawk steak, and $2000 a pound for a small large morel.This is the selling price of Chen Mo's top product, Valley's...

Perhaps the valley estate wine will be added in the future... The vines cultivated in space, the sparkling wine that Chen Mo drank before, the taste and taste are quite good.Unknowingly, Chen Mo has already become a very successful supplier of luxury food.

The world is very big, the world that ordinary people come into contact with, and the world that rich people come into contact with, although they are all facing the same sky, but the scenery they see is completely different.

High prices have high profits.But we must also control the quantity and quality... If the price is expensive, there must be one or several reasons for the high price.

China's development is very good, and there are a lot of rich people.But the domestic market, at least at this stage, is very old to accommodate the current 'Valley Ranch'.The average price of ordinary-grade mutton produced by the Valley Ranch is about 8 US dollars per pound, which is about 50 yuan per catty in RMB.It seems that it is not too expensive, the price of mutton is in China, 50 yuan a catty is very common...but if there are some free-range sheep.

Chen Mo is considering the possibility of replicating a valley ranch in China, not a valley ranch, but a super ranch, a real super ranch, a super luxurious luxury ranch.

When a person walks in the world, the ordinary and the ordinary are beautiful, and the vigorous stalwart is also beautiful.If you have the ability and the conditions, you must at least do one thing in this life that makes you proud and the people around you proud of yourself.

Take a walk back home.Early the next morning, Chen Mo's family returned to St. Bernie...

Moxie and Cons have just returned from New Zealand to inspect the upcoming East Fried milk sheep

On the side of the valley ranch, John is watching. Everything is in order, and all the work is progressing according to the plan.

"Moxi." Chen Mo saw Moxi's car in San Benny, told the driver to stop, and got into Moxi's car: "Take me to the Calabash Valley."

"Yeah." Moxi nodded and started the car.

"I sold the lovely ranch. I replaced all the pasture seeds you sent to Hawaii with high-quality pasture seeds..."

Moxi was taken aback. As a smart person, he would not ask questions that should not be asked.Moxi nodded: "Shall I find a safe place to plant it?"

When we arrived at the Calabash Valley, the Calabash Valley is full of green grass in winter. Chen Mo pointed to the road in the Small Calabash Valley: "The pasture is planted in the Small Calabash Valley. There is a reservoir in the Small Calabash Valley, and it is planted under the reservoir. See if the grass can For breeding purposes..." Chen Mo said: "The grass must be strictly guarded until it is determined whether it can be used as a source of grass. The location of the small gourd valley is relatively closed, and it will be completely closed in the future, and people outside are prohibited enter."

"Ok."

Forage provenance has always been a headache.Now all the seeds must be taken out from the space...

For example, the alfalfa grass in the Dry Valley, although it has been well maintained, is also facing degradation, as long as the degradation is not too serious.

And like the Kroenke Ranch in Montana, there are also several large areas of space alfalfa that Chen Mo had seeded before. Because the grass was not well taken care of in the past two years, the grass degraded a bit... There is also follow-up cultivation of space grass, But the seeds bred are not as good as the next generation.Even the mother plant of pasture, according to estimates, if the degradation continues, it will be no different from ordinary alfalfa in at most another six or seven years.

Inferred in this way, the degradation cycle of space grass species may be ten years, which is only a rough inference.

This property of grasses has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that you can always maintain the advantage of pasture grass, and you are not afraid that the pasture seeds will leak out and be planted in large areas by others.The downside is that Chen Mo has to do all the work of collecting grass seeds... It's really painful and happy.

"How is the annual production permit of the potassium feldspar mine going?" Chen Mo asked, looking at the mine in the distance.

"I met with Mr. Stephen yesterday, and he said that before May, let's prepare a formal consulting contract." Moxi laughed. If the annual mining volume of 10 tons can be applied for, the valley ranch can really make money lying down: "He wants us to prepare a lot of materials, and submitting the application materials to the Mining Bureau is estimated to be the end of next month. gone."

Not just an application, but also a new exploration of the potash feldspar mine, and a mature mining plan to be designed...

No matter what, the appearance is to be made.

Chen Mo snapped his fingers: "The construction of the Calabash Valley has to be done quickly. Brett estimates that by the end of this year, the number of livestock raised in St. Bernie Town will reach more than 20. The pasture output of the valley pastures will not be enough."

"Ah."

From Calabash Valley, I went to San Bernie Airport again.

The airport is still under construction and has already started. It will build a tower (small), two hangars that can park business jets, and a runway...

The airport was built 6 kilometers away from the town of St. Bernie, and there were no people around, which was fine.

Back in the office, Moxi took out a lot of documents that needed to be signed by Chen Mo himself. These documents had been piled up for a long time, and Chen Mo was busy until late at night before finishing the work.

Signing is easy.But these documents need to be read one by one, and they can be signed after confirming that there are no problems.It's not about trust, it has to be done.
