Alpine pasture

Chapter 97
When I returned to the ranch, I stopped the car, and as soon as I walked out of the car door, I saw Teddy lying under the porch and watching the car. After beckoning, he ran towards Ju An, and Wu Song, who was beside Teddy, also took small steps and jumped up to meet him.

As soon as Ju An closed the car door, the two guys came to his feet. Wu Song grabbed Ju An's trousers and screamed, while Teddy rubbed his body against his calf, made a humming sound, and squatted down. , first patted the heads of the two guys, took two fruits brought from the car to the two guys, Wu Song got a small plum, and Teddy got a big pear.After the two guys received the fruit, they ate the fruit directly.

At this time, old Thomas came out of his room and looked at Ju An and said loudly with a smile: "Ann, you are finally back, if you don't come, Teddy will suffer from depression."

"What kind of depression? There is food and drink at home, so you don't have to worry about shit. It's much more comfortable than he is in the wild. What's wrong with this little thing?" Ju An looked at the ground, with her legs upright, her front paws hugging Teddy with a big fat ass gnawing at an apple, and a guy who is fatter than when he left, will have any kind of depression, and he is very doubtful.

Thomas explained: "After you left, the fruit left behind was eaten up four or five days ago, and then I went to the orchard to buy a lot, but Teddy ate it twice and didn't want to eat more. Zhengtian is lying at the door and staring at the road, looking forward to your return, these days I get up early every morning, crouching under the porch, Wu Song doesn't play much, and squatting with the porch every day." .

Damn, this is Mao's depression, this is obviously a habit of eating the good fruits in the beads, and I can't adapt to the taste of ordinary fruits outside. go down.

Ju An pulled up her legs and walked towards the house, and said to Thomas as she walked, "Thomas! There is something I want to discuss with you. You have to think about it and see if it can be done. Come on, let's go into the house and talk."Teddy, who was nibbling on the apple, saw that Ju An was gone, he quickly grabbed the apple with his mouth, and ran after Ju An with his big butt swaying. Wu Song followed after him, but Wu Song was calmer, while he was picking up the plum skin. , while strolling forward, his two small eyes are all looking at the fruit in his hand.

After entering the house, he turned on the coffee machine, took two cups of coffee, handed a cup to old Thomas, and then put his butt on the sofa. Teddy also bit the apple and got on the sofa, putting his two front paws on the sofa. On Ju An's lap, he ate an apple.

Ju An didn't pay much attention to Teddy, so he touched Teddy's head with his right hand, and rubbed Teddy's small round ears with two fingers: "That's it, this time I heard someone give me some advice, and I asked the bank for a loan. Five-year loan, and then expand our herd to [-] head, what do you think."

Thomas took a sip of coffee, then held the coffee cup with both hands, and thought about it carefully: "This proposal is really good. If it is 6000 cows, the current manpower is far from enough, and at least ten more manpower will be needed. In addition, although the grass in the pasture is good, now the pastures of Anderson and others are all grass like ours. It is still green now, and other pastures have begun to slowly wither. Although it seems that the wintering of cattle and sheep is nothing It's a big problem, but with the addition of more than [-] cattle, the current pasture storage is far from enough. Who knows that our pasture will be green for a few months. The wintering of the cattle is a big problem, and if there are so many at once If more cattle come out, it is better to build a few workers' houses on the east side of the pasture, so that it will be more convenient to divide the cattle and sheep into two groups. After all, our grass is good, and it does not need to grow thick and fast like other pastures. migration as well".

A month ago, Ju An deliberately put more space water in the pool of the ranch, and extended the pasture to the ranch of Anderson and the others, so that his ranch would not be too conspicuous at that time.

Ju An considered Thomas' suggestion, nodded and said, "Then we'll do it like this. Tomorrow, we'll recruit people first, harvest the grass first, and build a few workers' houses on the east side of the pasture. I started to buy cattle, and today I will return the car to the dealership, and then I will take a taxi back.”

Thomas asked quite seriously: "If you have made up your mind, let's do it right away. In the afternoon, I will follow you to find some people. We will all start to apply for loans and other things at the same time. After all, it is already It's October, and it won't be long before it's snowing here, and there's good news for you, two dogs gave birth to two litters of puppies, nine in total, and one more to come."

Ju An slapped his thigh: "Okay! That's it! The more dogs, the better. Now I've added a helper." Who knew that a slap on the thigh was sticky, and he looked down, good guy, Teddy nibbles After finishing the apple, my pants got wet. At first glance, I thought it was incontinence. I didn't know whether it was more apple juice or more drool on the pants. Teddy who caused the trouble was not at all aware , The little head is resting on Ju An's lap, enjoying Ju An's touch, a pair of small round eyes, which are closed and opened violently from time to time, dozing off.

He quickly pushed Teddy away, and Ju An immediately stood up from the sofa. Thomas saw that Ju An's pants were wet, and he laughed, and Ju An had no choice but to say, "Then we'll do it like this, I Go and change clothes first, this guy did it."

Thomas smiled and picked up the cowboy hat and stood up: "Then I'll go get ready, see what's missing, make a list, and I'll bring it over for you to see later." He put on his hat and turned away.

Ju An turned around and carried the luggage upstairs. Of course, the two little tails followed.While walking, I called Nian: "Hello! Nin, I'm An, I want to turn my ranch into a company now, and I want a legal consultant to come and help. Do you have time?"

Nien thought for a while and said, "Okay, then doesn't your ranch always need a regular lawyer?".

Ju An nodded and said, "That's right, but I haven't found a trusted lawyer here, so I have to ask you for help. How can I come here?"

Nien said with a hearty smile at the other end: "I have time at any time, and you can just notify me one day in advance."

Ju An said: "Thank you, I'm going to start it tomorrow, you can come over tomorrow when you have time."

"Ok! Then I'll be there tomorrow morning," Nien replied.

After talking on the phone with Nin, Ju An put the luggage in the house, found a pair of clean jeans in the cloakroom to put on, and threw the dirty clothes in the luggage into the laundry basket along with the changed jeans.

Then he entered the space with two small things. After a while, there were still so many fruits on the fruit trees, that is, more ripe fruits on the ground, and they were all piled up in a small pile under the fruit trees. Wu Song and Teddy Entering the space, he immediately rushed to the fruit on the ground, and Teddy lay directly on the fruit and rolled.

Looking at the cow herd not far away, there were actually seven or eight more calves, and a few big cows took the calves and were nibbling on the fallen fruit under the pear tree not far away. , the entire herd already has seven or eight heads. This expansion is really fast. In addition to eating grass in the space, this guy actually likes to eat the fruit on the ground.Carrying a small bucket, he picked up some fruits on the ground and put them into the bucket, and then took these two reluctant little guys out of the space.

Then I went to the barn to see the two litters of puppies. As soon as I opened the door of the barn, I saw the two bitches stand up alertly. When they saw that it was Ju An, they lay down again. He opened his eyes and pressed against the belly of the bitch, and from time to time he pushed each other with his short calves, scrambling for milk.The little guys looked healthy, most of them were yellow, the other two were black, and the rest were white, but their mother's flowery white didn't appear, they were all flashy, fluffy and cute.

When Ju An came out of the barn, old Thomas also came over and handed a piece of paper to Ju An. Ju An took a look at it, and it said a long list, what to buy a tractor, and then It's just some materials for the construction of workers' houses.

Ju An looked at it and said, "Isn't this worker's house directly built by someone? Why do we have to buy the materials ourselves?".

Thomas shook his head and said: "It's not necessary to find a special person to build this kind of house, it costs a lot of money, and these houses are basically simple combinations. working on the ranch".

After listening to Old Thomas's words, Ju An nodded. In fact, this kind of house is like building blocks, except that the foundation is a little troublesome, but it is really nothing to the cowboys who are used to doing things by themselves.

Nodding and agreeing with Thomas, the two drove out of the ranch.Arriving in Lewistown, Ju An went to the dealership and returned the car to the dealership, took Thomas to the small bar where they first met, greeted Billy the owner, and Thomas walked to a table. Chatted with a few people about the same age.

After drinking a sip of beer, Ju An said to Billy, "This time my ranch is going to get more cattle, so I need some manpower, so I'm here to ask you for help."

Billy wiped the big beer glass in his hand and said with a smile, "Is it a good thing to expand the ranch, or is it the same as last time?"

Ju An nodded and said, "Yes, the conditions remain the same. This time I am going to recruit ten people. I am going to leave this matter to old Thomas."

Billy said with a smile, "Okay, I'll put up a sign at the door of the bar later, and I'll know what I need to know tomorrow."

"Thank you, Billy," Gu Ann said with a smile to Billy.

"You're welcome, that's all," Billy replied with a smile.
