Mixed in Australia to be a local tyrant

Chapter 34 Buying Cow and Gifts

This sprinkler irrigation system is very advanced and adopts automatic operation. The control device is placed in a room on the second floor of the villa. If you want to irrigate the pasture, you only need to turn on the control device to operate the irrigation system. It is very simple, just like playing a game Same.

That night, Tang Ming irrigated the pasture for the first time, and it lasted for an hour before Tang Ming turned off the irrigation system.

In the next few days, Tang Ming will irrigate the pasture once a day, and the time will be kept within half an hour. The effect is obvious. The growth of several kinds of pastures in the pasture is getting better and better, far more than when no irrigation was carried out in the past. , This made Mike and the others think it was a miracle, but only Tang Ming knew that it was because the lake water that irrigated the ranch contained pond water.

What is certain is that the cattle in the pasture eat pastures irrigated with pond water, and their growth rate, disease resistance, meat yield, and beef quality will all improve a lot.

The longer the pasture was, the more vigorous it was. Mike felt that it was a pity to waste the pasture, so he suggested to Tang Ming to buy some more cattle. Tang Ming agreed. After a few days, Tang Ming and Mike went to several pastures and bought Four thousand cows.

Among them, 1000 are shelf cattle, aged between eleven months and December, which can be fattened after a few months in the pasture. These cattle are purchased at a price of [-] Australian dollars per kilogram. Each cow costs [-] and [-] Australian dollars, and there are [-] calves, which are slightly cheaper, around [-] Australian dollars per head.

The 430 cows cost a total of [-] million, which directly reduced Tang Ming's savings to several million Australian dollars.

But this is not the end. Immediately afterwards, the 100 cows raised in the pasture can be fattened, and they need to buy fattening feed, which includes corn, barley, sorghum, bean cakes and hay, etc. In addition, salt is also necessary It was less than Ke, except for the hay, other things needed to be purchased. For this, Tang Ming spent another [-] million Australian dollars.

As for the time required for fattening, it takes about [-] to [-] days. The longer the fattening time, the more obvious the marbling of the beef, the higher the grade of the beef, and the more expensive the price. Of course, the longer the fattening time It also costs more.

Tang Ming stood next to the cowshed, watching Mike and the others drive [-] cows into the narrow cowshed, mix the feed with a mixer according to the proportion, and feed the cows.

The cowshed has a high degree of automation and even has air conditioning. Apart from being a bit cramped, the environment is pretty good.

After finishing his work, Mike walked up to Tang Ming and said, "Boss, there are [-] more cows in the ranch now, and [-] more cows need to be fattened. Now our cowboys can't take care of them at all. We should increase the manpower in the ranch." gone."

Tang Ming asked: "Mike, how much do you think we need to increase the manpower?"

Mike had thought about this problem long ago, without even thinking about it, he said directly: "Six more cowboys are enough."

Tang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Mike, you will go to Monte Town to recruit cowboys tomorrow, and the salary will be calculated according to Klein's standard."

Mike said, "No problem, I'll take care of this."

Now that the discussion was over, Tang Ming turned around to leave, but just after he took a few steps, Mike caught up again, hesitated, and said, "Boss, in fact, you don't have to hire local cowboys at all, some South Americans and Mexicans are more expensive. It’s cheap, you only need to pay them two or three thousand Australian dollars per month.”

This price is less than half of the local price, which is very attractive to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming stopped, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, the ranch doesn't need so many people now, let's talk about it when the ranch expands again."

Mike said, "Okay then."

Back at the villa, Tang Ming entered Xiahe Cave, first turned on the generator, connected the water pump, and pumped water into the water tank.

Now that the area of ​​the pool has increased, the output of the pool water has also increased naturally, from the original 350 tons to 550 tons. The water tank that can hold 150 tons of water can no longer hold the entire pool of water in the pool. There will be [-] tons of water left in the pool, which makes Tang Ming feel a bit wasteful, and plans to buy two more water tanks with a capacity of [-] tons in a few days.

Tang Ming stood next to the generator, put on the headset, picked up the gun, and started shooting at the opposite target. After shooting for a while, Tang Ming walked through the pool and checked the target. Seeing the number of rings displayed on it, he felt very satisfied.

After these days of practice, Tang Ming's marksmanship has improved a lot. Basically, he will not miss the target. Ten bullets can hit sixty or seventy rings, and occasionally he can hit a few ten rings.

Tang Ming played with guns in Xiahe Cave, and when the water tank was full, he turned off the generator and water pump, and left Xiahe Cave.

Back in the bedroom, I looked at the calendar. Today is January [-]th, and the Chinese New Year is still more than ten days away. It has been more than two months since Tang Ming came to Australia in November.

"What should I buy when I go home?" Tang Ming thought in his heart.

Tang Ming checked on the Internet. There are not many special products in Australia, but they all have Australian characteristics. There are health care products, wool products, opals, and some art souvenirs.

In addition to buying gifts for his parents, he also had to buy some for his relatives and friends to take home. They all knew that Tang Ming had come to Australia, and it would not be good to go home without some gifts.

Tang Ming chose for a long time and drew up a shopping list, which contained thirty or forty items, including honey, deep-sea fish oil, sheep oil, wine, milk powder, wool quilts, kangaroo leather crafts, crocodile skin products, various health care products, various Cosmetics and so on, these items are marked with the quantity, the minimum unit is ten, and there are dozens of units. In addition, Tang Ming is also planning to buy an opal necklace for his mother.

After reading this list, Tang Ming was distressed. After thinking about how to load so many things on the plane, Tang Ming planned to charter a plane to go back, but where to charter the plane was a problem for him, so , he thought of Lucy.

Tang Ming called Lucy's office, but someone told him that Lucy had resigned from Westpac Bank.

"What should I do? By the way, Lucy seems to have left me a business card." Tang Ming searched around the bedroom, and found Lucy's business card in a piece of clothing, with Lucy's private number on it.

Tang Ming dialed this number, and the call was connected quickly. Lucy obviously still remembered Tang Ming's number, and said, "Hi, Mr. Tang, what can I do for you?"

Tang Ming said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Lucy. I called your office at Westpac Bank just now. They said that you had resigned, so I called your private number."

Lucy said, "It's okay, Mr. Tang, do you need my help with anything?"
