magic ranch

Chapter 16 Please Master

He drove a broken pickup to Xiangshui Town and went directly to the mayor's office.General Tie opened the door, so he wandered back to Anderson's small supermarket.

"Dexter, are you here to buy instant noodles again?" Anderson looked at Liu Heming and asked cautiously.

"Uh, not only do I want to buy instant noodles, but I also want to find Mayor George. I've always forgotten to ask for his phone number." Liu Heming said with some embarrassment.

During this period of time, he has been eating instant noodles and bread in turn. How much money can Anderson make from these alone, so he has a lot of opinions on him, a low-spending customer.

"Dexter, you can't supplement any nutrition by just eating these." Anderson took out his phone and rummaged through it. "Remember, he won't always be waiting for you in the office."

Liu Heming saved the number and dialed it here.After the phone rang several times, George answered.

"George, I'm Dexter. I have a little question to ask you about planting this year." Liu Heming said hastily.

"OK, Dexter. I don't have anything to do today. You can wait for me in the ranch. I'll drive there directly." George agreed happily.

"Thank you, George, I will rush back to my ranch and wait for you." Liu Heming said happily.

This can be regarded as asking for a master. After all, I don't know anything about the planting industry in the United States. George, a knowledgeable person, can give me many useful suggestions.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Heming wanted to leave here.But after a quick glance, I felt that there was something wrong with the way Anderson looked at him.

"Uh, I was so happy just now that I forgot to buy something." Liu Heming slapped his forehead.

Even though Anderson is the type with a cold face and a warm heart, he also has the characteristics of a miser.After going back to the shelf, he grabbed a box of instant noodles, picked some luncheon meat and canned fruit, and added two dozen beers. A smile appeared on Anderson's face.

Drove back to the ranch with a broken pickup, and saw George's car parked at the gate of the ranch.

In fact, the gate of Liu Heming's ranch is empty, and he usually doesn't close it at all.However, George paid attention to this aspect and did not directly drive in.

"George, I also want to thank you. I didn't expect you to come here in person." After arriving at the house, Liu Heming gave George a big hug.

"Haha, actually, I've always been curious about what you've been up to these days." George said with a smile.

"But there is a problem I want to remind you. Your house should be rebuilt. If you really encounter a tornado, even a smaller one, it will be difficult to resist."

"George, I also want to rebuild a house, but I have consulted, and I don't want to continue to build a wooden villa. Although it is very good, I always feel unsafe. But it will be very expensive to replace it, at least It will cost more than one hundred thousand dollars." Liu Heming shrugged and said.

"Let's see later. If I have money, see if I can rebuild a better house, and I will take my family to live with me."

He has always felt that the houses in the United States are not very safe. They are all made of planks, and they will be smashed to pieces after a fight.Once he built the house, he wanted to make his house stronger, but in fact, he was not short of a few dollars.

The main reason is that Xiangshui Town is too dilapidated, and there is no construction work in the town, so the cost will be higher.Otherwise, the cost of self-built houses will not be very high.

"George, what's the matter?" Liu Heming just finished speaking and saw that George did not look at himself but looked up into the distance.

"Dexter, when did your ranch have this lake?" George asked, pointing to the lake not far away.

"Oh, it was there when I came here." Liu Heming said with a nonchalant expression.

If there is no system, he will show off that this is a meteorite, and maybe it will bring a magical color to this lake.But now he doesn't dare, this is his own little secret, and he should try his best to keep others from noticing it.

"God, Dexter, you are really lucky. I think you will have a very good harvest this year." George looked at Liu Heming and said enviously.

"Thank you, George. In fact, I invited you here this time to ask you to help me calculate the planting costs. What's more, this ranch does not have its own agricultural equipment. If it is rented, where do I need to contact it?" Liu Heming smiled. asked.

"Dexter, you're looking for the right one." George also became smiling, and his attitude towards Liu Heming's asking for advice was very helpful.

"The cost of growing each crop is different, and the required agricultural equipment is also different. Depending on the model, the rental fee is about 100 US dollars to 300 US dollars per day. However, I still recommend you to buy some, although the one-time investment is very large , but very practical."

"I suggest you go to the fertilizer company and ask their people to do some testing on your soil. You just need to tell them your plan, and they will help you produce suitable compound fertilizers. Of course, if you have farming experience You can judge by how you feel."

"But there is one thing I want to remind you. If the fertilizer is used unbalanced, it will not only affect the harvest, but also pollute the groundwater. Although there are not many people in Xiangshui Town, you will still be prosecuted."

"Thank you, George. I plan to use all compound fertilizers this year, and I will use organic fertilizers next year to adjust." Liu Heming nodded.

"Look first, this is a rough sketch I drew. There are less than [-] acres of land, of which I plan to plant ten acres of wheat, four acres of corn, and three acres of soybeans. The rest I leveled up in front of my door, I plan to grow vegetables myself." Liu Heming took out the sketches he had drawn from the car and pointed them to George.

"Let me help you find out. Excluding the cost of machinery and oil, under normal circumstances, the cost of growing wheat is about 300 US dollars per acre, corn is about 650 US dollars per acre, and soybeans are about 430 US dollars." George said after thinking for a while.

"If you add up all these, let me calculate, it will cost about 7000 US dollars. Because the land here has not been planted for a long time, the cost of fertilizer will increase, and I am afraid it will cost about 500 US dollars."

Liu Heming smiled wryly in his heart, the cost is actually not very high, even if the price of the machinery rental is added, it is about the same as what he expected.But he was still very distressed, and he did it for as little as [-] U.S. dollars.

The main reason is that he doesn't know much about it now, and he only has so much money in his hand. If he loses money this year, it will be enough for him to invest another round.Even if you save money on your own food and drink, you still have to spend money.
