Alpine pasture

Chapter 549 Alexander is leaving?

The bullfrogs and rice field eels and shrimps were about to start at home, so they made two large pots. In the evening, four people gathered around the two pots. Next to them were braised eel slices and a plate of clear water river prawns. The four drank cold beer. Then fish and eat.Apart from the fact that everyone was drinking casually, the chopsticks rained into the two pots.

After eating less than half of it, Leonard walked in, saw that Ju An and the others had just eaten, and said with a smile, "Why did you eat so late, I thought you had already eaten."

Wang Fan said to Leonard: "Come and sit down and have a drink."After speaking, he stood up from his seat, and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer for Leonard. Leonard was not pretentious, and pulled a chair over to sit next to Ju An.After eating a piece of bullfrog, he said to Ju An, "This meat is really good, very tender."

"The bullfrog in the lake," Miles explained to Leonard.

"Oh! This tastes good." Leonard continued to eat, and while eating, he reported to Ju'an the expansion of the thick root fern in the pasture.Ju An nodded and listened to the side. The progress was a little faster than the original plan, but not much faster.After all, the cowboys on the ranch have already focused on grazing cows.

Suddenly, Ju An remembered something, and asked Leonard: "How are the bees on the ranch doing? Is it possible to collect more honey this year?".Dinah asked herself to ask this matter. A few women thought that the honey in their restaurant was not good enough. Knowing that there was honey in Ju'an Ranch, they wanted to use the honey produced in Ju'an Ranch.

Leonard said to Ju An: "Now there are seventeen or eight boxes, and there is a lot of honey produced. Are you going to sell it? It looks like a lot of honey now, but the price of selling it to others is too low. Let's Things from the ranch cost more than this price, and it would be a waste to get them on the production line.”

After hearing this, Ju An nodded and explained to the old man, "It's Dinah's restaurant that wants to use honey, and thinks the honey bought in the market is not good, so it's fine if there are only a dozen boxes."The number of [-] or [-] boxes is still too small, definitely not enough for Dinah's restaurants.It seems that at least this year, the production of honey is enough, maybe it is only enough for the ranch cowboys to eat, or at Thanksgiving, everyone will send some home to roast turkeys, and then all the ranch cowboys will get such a small jar Not bad.

Leonard nodded: "These dozens of boxes are not enough for a restaurant. It will be almost the same next year. By then, nearly forty boxes will be able to be distributed."After a pause, he said to Ju An: "There is one more thing, Alexander may want to leave the biological company during this time."

"Why?" When Ju An heard this, the chopsticks in his hand stopped in the pot, and asked Leonard: "Is it because you are unhappy working in the biological company, or do you think the salary is not enough?".The few people introduced by Norman and Leonard are very good, they work hard, and Ju An appreciates them.Hearing that someone wants to change jobs, I feel a little bit reluctant.

Reiner shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of remuneration, nor is it that he is unhappy in our biological company, but now he has received an invitation from a friend and wants him to join a national project."

"National project?" Ju An is a bit strange. What national project is more attractive than my brother's big beef cattle. Not to mention anything else, the environment of my brother's research center is first-class and relaxed, and he is not an amateur in management Management professionals are directly in charge of these scholars themselves, and Ju'an is basically a big deal.

Leonard paused, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and introduced to Ju An: "Have you heard of African rock pythons and Burmese pythons?".

Ju An shook his head after hearing this: "What? Alexander wants to go to Africa or Burma to study these pythons?".If you have nothing to do, why do you go to Africa and Myanmar to toss pythons? Wouldn’t it be nice to just squat in the United States and raise cattle?This group of scientific researchers seems to have an awl in their buttocks. It seems that the US government has gone crazy again, and actually went to study these things, Ju An secretly slandered.

Myers heard Leonard's words and said: "You mean, Alexander wants to participate in the management of African rock pythons?".Turning his head and looking at Ju An's puzzled eyes, he explained: "It's not going to Africa or Myanmar, but in the United States, the Everglades area of ​​the Florida peninsula, where the python disaster is very serious."

Wang Fan understood, nodded and said to Ju An: "I do know that, last time on the news a rock python arrived in Miami, swallowed a dog, was caught, and finally wanted to spit it out and run away ".Then he stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's about this thick."

Seeing that Ju An didn't quite understand African rock pythons, Leonard said something roughly: "This python is quite ferocious, and there have been cases of actively attacking children in Africa, and there are many cases in the United States, where rock pythons are raised at home and attack children. , there are also examples of children dying, and the big African rock pythons will prey on big prey, which will cause great damage to the animal husbandry. A few years ago, a python fever gradually rose in the United States. Both African rock pythons and Burmese pythons were caught at that time. It was introduced as a pet. Because it grew very fast, many families were unwilling to keep it. Some people just released this large boa constrictor back to nature at will. The Florida peninsula is especially suitable for the growth of boa constrictors, and there are no natural enemies. Now that the two pythons have established their own populations, the government is ready to control the spread of the two pythons and prevent them from posing a threat to people."

Ju An listened and nodded, buddy's dog was worried about something, and he didn't throw it around. The American didn't see any action by the FBI when he threw the python around, but he thought of the reports in China that made the Chinese people not pay attention to hygiene. What are you doing? I used to think that this report is correct. In fact, when you go to the United States, you will find that Americans are like this. There are also people who throw things around. They are no less than Chinese. Europeans are civilized?If it is really like what the domestic newspapers preach, Paris will not be jokingly called the city of shit, saying that the quality of the Chinese is low. On the one hand, this kind of newspaper belittles its own people, and on the other hand, it artificially raises the morality of Europeans and Americans. .

It's just that people throw some high-end ones that move from time to time, some Chinese people throw dead objects with poor quality, and people throw boa constrictors that are old-fashioned and uncivilized.Does this mean that people are better than us?No wonder there is a saying that when the braids on some people's heads are cut off, the braids in their hearts are still there.

After thinking for a while, he said to Leonard: "Didn't you say that the python skin is more expensive, so you can just let people go in and kill it. Then you can sell the snake skin directly, make bags and shoes, and kill two birds with one stone. This problem will be solved. ".There is nothing wrong with this. According to the method of living in peace, and the prosperity of the luxury goods industry, in addition to a great harm to the United States, it will also give the United States a beautiful environment. What a wonderful thing.

Leonard shook his head and said: "Although rock pythons and Burmese pythons have not entered the list of endangered species, wild ones are also threatened now, especially the origin of these animals, because of the skin on their bodies, the federal government plans to control pythons. The number is not ready to exterminate them. Now tens of millions of dollars have been allocated, but they are still not under control. The key point is that the problem we are facing now is that African rock pythons and Burmese pythons are bred to give birth to a Burmese python. The fierce and super-killing rock python came out, and the habitats of the two python species are getting closer."

What is this called? In Chinese, it means that you want to be a bitch and also want to set up a memorial archway. You can't kill wantonly, but you have to control the number. How can there be such a good thing in the world.It wasn't your thing in the first place, and there is no natural enemy here, so you still want to control it?How can a snake lay dozens of eggs in a brood? Dozens of small snakes have no natural enemies at a time. How do you control it?After thinking about it, it's nothing to do with my buddies, can I still go to Montana?I can still come to the Hans Ranch, so I just gave birth to a baby snake and fed it directly to my buddy King Snake. As for the big one, it’s just a good time to cook soup for my buddy. Raise a ten-meter-long super king snake to eat his uncle's boa constrictor directly.

In his heart, Ju An was secretly happy, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously brought a smile. Wang Fan put his arm on Ju An beside him: "What are you thinking, so happy?".

"No!" Ju An quickly withdrew his thoughts.Then he said to Leonard: "Is Alexander determined to leave?".

"Alexander is very interested, but the contract signed with us has not yet expired, and he is considering it now." Leonard explained to Ju'an: "It's not for income, the project for controlling rock pythons has more funds, concentrated There are more scientific researchers."

Oh, it turned out that it was for the sake of fame. You should have said it earlier, and you would stop talking so much, and said to Leonard: "If Alexander really wants to go, go, let him not worry about the contract. ".It doesn't make any sense to keep people alive. With this salary, I think there must be a lot of scientists coming to my buddy research institute.

Leonard nodded and said to Juan: "Norman and I also told Alexander that, if he wants to go, the contract will not be a problem, but now he is thinking about it."

"Well! That's good. If Alexander wants to leave, you can nod and agree. Just let me know the result." Ju An smiled at Leonard and continued to search for the pot with his chopsticks of meat.

Leonard picked up the chopsticks from the table: "Aren't you going to leave tomorrow? If you don't, I'll let you know that Kingman is going to hold a cow beauty pageant tomorrow, and our ranch has selected a cow to participate."

"Beauty pageant for cows?" Ju An almost spit out the meat from his mouth when he heard that. Does this cow still have a beauty pageant?What kind of cow is called beauty?Are the judges all bulls?

After hearing this, Wang Fan asked, "Is there anyone raising cows around here? I thought it was raised by Hans Ranch."

Miles said with a smile: "Why not, but they are all free-range breeding with more than a dozen heads, the largest being more than 100 heads, all of which are small-scale, and the milk is basically supplied to Kingman."

Ju An looked at Miles and Mike: "Then let's go back later? Go see the cow beauty pageant?" Seeing the three nodded, the group continued to chat while eating.
