Li Han returned to the George Farm and met Huton who came to see him for something. Li Han invited Huton to come into the house and sit down. "Hughton, sit down first and have a cup of coffee. I'll wash my face." Li Han washed his face.
He turned around and went to the bedroom to take a look. The little guy Dudu was indeed asleep. He didn't know where to play all morning. He must be tired now and slept soundly. Li Han walked over and took off the pacifier in his mouth.
I pulled the towel to cover my belly, and my belly was exposed, so I wasn't afraid of getting cold.
Back in the living room, Li Han poured himself a cup of coffee and asked Hughton. "Hughton, what's the matter?" "Han, I think we can go to the auction house to buy some sheep now. Today is the sheep auction.
Days." Hughton put down his coffee cup and said.
"What a coincidence. Let's go over now." Li Han got up and drove the pickup truck to the auction house with Hughton. However, Mising Town is mostly a mixture of farms and pastures. Most of the flat land is used for planting crops. The hillsides and some soils are not
It is a good place to plant fruit trees or pasture. Most of the animals are raised mainly sheep, with a little less cattle and a little less horses. The main trading places are the sheep trading auction and cattle market near the town. Horses are mostly auctioned at the cattle market.
The auction house is built on the left side of a street. From the outside, it also has a modern style. It is a two-story building with PRODUCERS written grandly on it. Entering from the front door, you will see groups of people as soon as you go up the stairs.
The sheep were penned in more than a dozen fences, and the bleating sounds were endless. Each fence had a number written on it. Hughton was familiar with this place and led Li Han to Ben of the sheep auction house. Ben was an old man at the auction house.
Cowboy, Ben first led Li Han and Hughton to look around in circles, and then led Li Han and Li Han to the auction house.
As soon as I entered, I immediately felt a strong business atmosphere. Just like what I saw in the movie, dozens of people sat quietly on the semicircular steps, listening intently and seriously to the sellers' quotes on the stage. West
Most of the people wore cocked-brim cowboy hats and skinny jeans with a pair of high-waisted cowboy boots, which looked very energetic.
There were three people on the stage, one quoted and two took notes. The quoter rattled off a string of prices. The speed was as fast as pouring beans from a bamboo bucket. A layman could not hear the breaks in the sentences.
It was impossible to see what information was being exchanged on and off the stage. But in fact, everyone in the audience was listening to the changes in prices very attentively, staring intently at the sheep passing by on the stage. Everyone nodded slightly and shook their head.
, raising hands and curling fingers are all conveying information, obviously there is a lot of knowledge in it. Although Li Han has been in the small town of Kemising for several years, he has only been here a handful of times. He is considered a layman and can only watch the fun.
When people make quotations on the platform, sheep must also enter at the same time for people's reference. There is a sheep pen on the left and right sides of the platform. The sheep come out of the left pen, pass through the platform, and then enter the right pen (it seems to be weighed on the right). There are two on the left and right.
Next to the pen, there is a goat with higher intelligence as a guide to guide the sheep in and out.
Hughton was familiar with these. While talking to Ben, he paid attention to the quotations on the stage and hurried past the sheep. "Hughton, I want to hear your idea." Li Han listened for a while, but didn't quite understand.
He simply asked Hughton.
"Han, Ben just introduced that buying lambs is cheap, but it is not suitable for George Farm. We need some semi-large lambs and a few good head sheep, a small number of lambs, so that we can cope with wild beast raids." Hughton whispered to Li Han.
Said, this is a sheep economy, some words are not convenient for me to hear.
"Hughton, you're right, I'll do what you said." Li Han thought this was a good idea. Maybe it would be more cost-effective to buy lambs for breeding, but Li Han was doing it to cope with the negative impact of changes in the pasture next door. Beast
With the threat of weeds, half-grown sheep are very suitable.
Huyton said a few words to Ben, and Ben nodded. "Han, I think there must be something you need here. Please come over here." The quotations on the stage continued, and Ben led Li Han and Huyton to a sheep pen.
, Ben introduced.
"This is a batch of lambs left behind by a bankrupt farm. Most of the lambs are over thirty pounds, a few are over ten pounds, and there are more than a dozen good ewes." Ben pointed to a sheepfold with more than a hundred lambs.
said.
Hughton went down to the sheepfold to check, and nodded at Ben. "Yes, old man, Han, these sheep are very healthy."
"Hughton, it's up to you to decide. My check is ready." Li Han felt quite satisfied, especially the plush lamb was very cute. Dudu would definitely like it. I think the baby is the same as Dudu.
"Thank you, Hughton, and Han." Ben was very happy and gave Hughton a hug. He turned around and held Li Han's hand to express his gratitude. After finalizing the deal, Ben and Hughton went to the auction table to go through the formalities. Li Han only needed to hand over the check.
, Ben helped find a cart, opened the sheepfold and drove the sheep onto the cart. Li Han and Huyton were helping. "Thank you, old man, maybe I will come over soon." Huyton said with a smile, Li Han said with a smile.
The pasture on the farm is good, and you might be able to buy some lambs.
"Welcome, my friend, I will entertain you with good beer and grilled lamb chops." Ben did a good business, made some money, and was in a good mood. "I like your grilled lamb chops,
Ben, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Hughton, goodbye Hank." Ben saw Li Han and Hughton out of the auction house. Li Han and Hughton drove the pickup truck to lead the way in front of the trailer. The car arrived at George's farm in forty or fifty minutes, and the sheep drove off.
In the car, Dinah and Hughton drove the sheep to the barn, locked them up, moved some fodder, added some drinking water, and pushed some feed on a trolley. Li Han stood by and helped fill the water tank with water.
I tested the temperature and it was ok.
"Dina, I can do it here alone." Hughton said to Dinah. The cattle needed someone to take care of them. "Dina, I will help Hughton." Li Han was very strong. He only needed to check and disinfect.
How much needs to be done.
Hughton wanted experience. After the examination, he was very excited. Half of the more than ten ewes were pregnant, which is really good news. "Han, I can do it here by myself." "Okay, Hughton, I'll give you the meat and vegetables for dinner."
It's ready and will be delivered to you later. I'm going back to the small farm in the evening."
"No problem, Han, I will take good care of this place. By the way, Han, I want to buy some good shepherd dogs tomorrow." Hughton said.
"Of course, I think I should buy a few more, and I will write a check to you." Li Han likes to keep dogs very much. Little Milly is Li Han's favorite at home. Now he is too young to follow Li Han.
grazing.
"Thank you, Han, I will do it." Huyton was very happy. Li Han is a good boss. Li Han and Huyton said a few words and left. Vegetables and beef were delivered. Li Han drove Dudu and Xiao Mili in a pickup truck.
, Niuniu Xiaobai returns to the small farm.
The small farm room was renovated, hung with brand new curtains, and covered with new sheets on the bed. Li Han took Little Dudu to check each room. "Dudu, is it beautiful here?"
"Yeah." The small room was decorated for the baby. It was very cute. Little Dudu liked the look of it.
"Dudu, is it okay for you and baby sister to stay here tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Dudu nodded happily.
"Let's go to grandma's room. Grandma likes flowers and plants. We will dig some flowers and put them in flower pots later." Li Han took Dudu's little hand and went to the larger bedroom on the second floor to decorate the floor. Li Han took the lead
Dudu waxed them one by one.
After walking around the entire small building, the father and daughter each took a small flower pot and a small shovel to the small flower garden in the backyard. The room was less lively. Li Han planned to install a few pots of nice flowers and plants to decorate them. Dudu came to help his father.
, stuck out her little butt, dug out a big flower seedling with a small shovel, put it in a small flower pot, dug some soil and put it in, patted it with a small shovel, and nodded with satisfaction.
