The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 967

Xu Yin still doesn't know that she won't have a chance to gather wool next year.

She was very happy. She took a leave of absence from work to participate in an amateur competition, and earned more than 1 New Zealand dollars and a pair of pure gold wool shears. This is a good harvest!
The Hunters who came to pick her up in a pickup truck were also smiling.

"Sean, I knew you would be the champion of the regional competition. No one has ever sheared more than [-] sheep in five hours of the regional competition. Not only did you break the old record, you also set a record of [-] sheep." This new record is the pride of our Cook Township!"

Mrs. Hunt was really happy for her.

"Sean, what do the Pure Gold Fleece Shears look like? Can I see them?"

Mr. Hunter is more curious about the regional competition prizes.

"of course can."

Xu Yin reached out and took out the pair of pure gold wool shears from the canvas bag.

Because it is made of gold, it is much smaller than ordinary traditional wool shears. She estimates it is at most 200 grams.

According to the current gold price, the value of this pair of pure gold wool shears is about the same as the [-] NZD prize money in Christchurch.

Mr. Hunter took it and stroked it carefully, and returned it to Xu Yin: "You have to keep it, this is the championship prize of the Canterbury Regional Competition, it is meaningful!"

Xu Yin smiled and put it away.

"Sean, with this bonus, will you go back to your hometown right away?" Mrs. Hunter felt a little bit reluctant when she thought of her identity.

Xu Yin shook her head: "I won't return. Although I regret being cheated by the agency, I have learned a lot here and I want to learn more. Do you want to keep me?"

"Haha!" Mrs. Hunter smiled heartily, "How is it possible!I'm still worried that you're going back to your hometown, and I can't bear you either. "

Back at the ranch, Xu Yin was surrounded by colleagues like a group pet:
"Oh my god Sean! From now on you are my idol!"

"Sean, how did you do it? I used electric clippers, and it took me more than half an hour to cut a sheep, and it was full of bumps. You can cut [-] sheep with manual shears? It's unbelievable! "

"Sean has been practicing and hasn't rested before the game. How about you? Lying on the haystack when you have free time, you're ashamed to say it!"

"Hey! I'm in charge of sheep herding, not a shearer. But Sean, you're more manly than a man!"

Xu Yin has black lines all over her hair: What do you mean she is more manly than a man?She is just her, need to compare with men?

"Do you still want presents?"

"I want it!"

Xu Yin stayed in Christchurch for several days for this competition, and bought a lot of snacks that people in the city admired, such as tartare pancakes, hummus, dried green lipped mussels, dried whitebait, Roquefort muffins, raisins, dried apples and other assorted dried fruits.

Christchurch people also like to eat roast leg of lamb.

There are stalls selling roasted leg of lamb everywhere on the street, freshly roasted and cut, Xu Yin tasted it once, and felt that it was not as delicious as roasted by herself, so she simply didn't buy it.

She asked the cook to buy a meat goat for her, and planned to roast the whole goat for everyone to eat.

After winning the bonus, we still have to celebrate.

"Why do you buy a goat?" Mrs. Hunter said angrily, "Old William heard that you won the regional championship, so he asked Little William to send a two-year-old lamb over early in the morning, and brought it here A vat of goat's milk."

Old William is the nearest neighbor to Hunter's family. He raised more than 300 milk goats and more than [-] meat goats. He slaughtered a meat goat every once in a while for the residents of this town to buy.

The goat meat and goat milk of his family are of good quality, and the price is very reasonable. Mrs. Hunter often patronizes his family's business.

However, it is really rare for old William to give away a whole sheep and a big bucket of goat milk.

Mrs. Hunt held Xu Yin's hand with a smile and said, "Now you have become a star shearer in our town of Cooke. Everyone wants to celebrate you. The mayor proposed to hold a bonfire party, and the time is set for tonight. , Rita and I are in charge of making nut cheese and sheep’s milk cakes, since you know how to roast a whole lamb, I’ll leave the goat to you. The mayor and the others will also bring some vegetables, which must be enough to eat.”

Xu Yin: "..."

Inexplicably, there is a sense of sight that in ancient times, a scholar who took the imperial examination and became the pride of the whole village.

That night, Xu Yin roasted a whole lamb for everyone on the lit bonfire.

In fact, people here often eat roasted mutton. Roasted whole lamb is not an amazing dish for them, but Xu Yin marinated it well and sprinkled the spices just right. If it is too much, it will be too strong, and if it is less, it will be bland. Everyone had a great time eating.

"Sean, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking!"

"The next time there is a food party in town, Sean can be the chef."

"Gourmet fair?" Xu Yin asked Mrs. Hunter curiously, "Is it held every year like the sheep shearing competition?"

If there is a bonus, she would be more than happy to sign up.

Mrs. Hunter saw her thoughts at a glance and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Hunter said you are a little money fan."

Xu Yinjiong.

If she hadn't traveled to this unaccompanied sheep country, she wouldn't be a money fan.

People in the world are in a panic, but only a few taels of broken silver; but a few taels of broken silver can relieve the melancholy of the world.

A meal of roasted whole lamb brought Xu Yin closer to other residents of Cook Town.

After getting in touch, I found that everyone is very friendly.

The mayor doesn't have any official airs. On the contrary, he speaks humorously and has been to more places than others. Everyone likes to hear him talk about the mountains.

Xu Yin gradually integrated into the big family of Cook Town.

In the blink of an eye, spring goes to summer solstice.

Of course, it's summer in New Zealand, and it's winter in the northern hemisphere.

Xu Yin gradually adapted to the local weather.

There is little rain in summer here, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and there are mostly sunny days, which are suitable for grazing.

But even on sunny days in midsummer, the temperature hovers around 25 to [-] degrees, rarely reaching [-] degrees.

Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and you have to sleep under a woolen blanket at night, otherwise you will catch a cold easily.

The three-piece heatstroke prevention suit that Xu Yin prepared for herself - ice cubes, a fan, and a small medicine bag containing Huoxiang Zhengqi and Fengyoujing were all useless.

I didn't need it outside during the day, and I had to cover it with blankets at night, so I finally took them back to the system warehouse.

But sunscreen has to be applied every day, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, the air is pure, and the ultraviolet rays will drive straight in?

Not only do you have to apply sunscreen when you go out, but you also don’t forget to apply a nourishing mask before going to bed.

She still prefers whitening to darkening her complexion.

After summer, the sheep’s wool sheds due to excessive secretion of sweat glands on the sheep’s body. The wool quality is too poor, and it is difficult to sell after shearing. Therefore, sheep are generally not sheared. Xu Yin was also transferred from shearer to shepherd.

The two strong guys who used to herd sheep asked for leave to play in Xihai Bay in the south.

It is said to be for fun, but it is actually to pan for gold.

I heard from Mrs. Hunter that a placer gold deposit was discovered there a few years ago, and the gold mine owner was reluctant to lose the gold sand. In recent years, he has been hiring workers to pan for gold downstream.
