American Ranch

Chapter 124 Garden Tour
In fact, to go deep, it’s just a little walk around, smell the fragrance of the garden, and enjoy the unique scenery of the apple orchard. It’s not really necessary to go deep into the orchard. Otherwise, it’s an area of ​​thousands of acres. !
There is a simple small road in the orchard, one car wide, winding through the entire orchard. This is specially built to bring great convenience for picking, transportation, fertilization patrols, etc.

Angel and Becky were in the middle, Qin Yi and Susa walked on both sides, lined up, holding hands, walking and stopping.This year Walker's orchard has really had a bumper harvest. The apple trees with the mouth of a bowl are full of big red apples, and even some branches are bent and hang down to the ground. At a glance, the dark green and dark red complement each other , quite gratifying.

From time to time, some unknown birds flew by in the forest, chirping, and seemed to be attracted by the fragrance.They jump on the branches, occasionally peck at a mouthful of sweet fruit, enjoy the free meal, strive for a few taels of fat, and store energy for the long winter.

It's a pity that today is a cloudy day. If the sun is shining brightly, it will add some festive atmosphere.However, the weather has changed for the first time in months, which should indicate that the drought that has little impact on Montana is coming to an end, which is somewhat a good thing.

"Well, the birds are stealing my apples!" Becky pouted her mouth, turned her head, and looked at the cheering birds on the branches, with some reluctance, "Well, the birds should eat less! Grandpa used it to sell money, and he wanted to buy me a gift!"

"Well, the little bird is not good!" Angel also nodded, then turned her head and whispered in Becky's ear: "Don't worry, sister Becky! When Uncle Yi buys me a gift, I will share some with you! "

"Wow, Sister Angel is so kind, she is the prettiest!" Becky cheered, now she didn't have to worry about not having any presents, so she hurriedly said good things to Angel.

"Hee hee, sister Becky is also very beautiful!" The little girl was so happy that she held her head high, as if enjoying the compliment.

Maybe it's because I went to kindergarten and got in touch with them a lot. The 4-year-old girl also knows that she loves beauty. Every morning, she wakes up, washes up, puts on her clothes, and waits eagerly for everyone to praise them for being beautiful!
Qin Yi and Susa looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled, and continued to lead them forward.

On the way, Qin Yi picked a big apple, rubbed it a few times before eating, the big apple juice was rich, crisp and delicious, not counting the space apple, this was the best apple he had ever eaten.

Qin Yi has also heard of the production model of the Walker Apple Orchard. Two kinds of apples are produced here.The first kind of planting area accounts for most of the area, and it is specially supplied to large chain supermarkets. This kind of apples does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The selling price of milk is also very high, which is another major source of income for Walker Farm besides milk.

The second type is the apples we see now. They also do not use pesticides, but the fertilizers are not so particular, and the management is also poor. This is mainly used for self-picking activities, and the tourism income they bring is also not low. .

The few people walked forward for a few minutes, and suddenly there was the sound of a tractor in front of them. They walked quickly and turned a corner. Three tractors pulling a cart ran over in a "chug-chug" manner, and the driver who was leading the car was Walker, if you get closer, you can clearly see people in the two cars behind, namely Hobbs and Viviera.The three of them were driving a tractor, and dozens of tourists were sitting on the straw bales on the cart, taking pictures or chatting, obviously in a good mood.

When they got closer, the three stopped the car and walked over, greeting each other with a smile.Walker patted Qin Yi's arm, "Yi, what's the matter, my apples here are not bad? Of course, they are much worse than yours!"

"Very good! To be honest, Walker, apart from mine, this is the best apple I've ever eaten!" Qin Yi raised half of the apple in his hand, took a bite, and the juice splashed everywhere, watching Hobbs and Weiwei La laughed too.

"Grandpa, grandma, the little birds are all stealing our apples!" Becky pouted and complained, although Sister Angel would give some of her presents to herself, but if the little birds didn't eat the apples, then her own gifts would be forfeited. more!

Several adults laughed, and Viviera also squatted down, smiled and touched Becky's little head, comforting: "Betsy, the little bird helped us catch bugs, otherwise the apples wouldn't grow so many, so Saying that the birds have paid for their labor, they should be paid."

"That's right, Betsy, let the birds eat them, they help us catch bugs, and they deserve some apples!" Walker also persuaded, helping the little girl analyze the reasons, what is education, what is this? It is education!

Analyzing cause and effect through the little things in life, labor must be paid.This is what Walker and Vivra taught Betsy.

"Oh." It's just that Becky scratched her head and was a little confused, but at least she knew that the little bird was not stealing apples.

Several people looked at the little girl's confused appearance and smiled again.

"Isn't it self-picking? Why do you go sightseeing by car?"

Qin Yi looked at the tourists on the three scooters. Chinese and Americans were mixed, and some of them were gesticulating and communicating with each other. They were very interested in each other.The majority are Chinese, and one-third are residents of the nearby United States.At this moment, everyone looked at Qin Yi and the two cute little girls, and became more interested in them.

"Let's take tourists around first, which is considered sightseeing, and then it's self-picking." Hobbs briefly explained the process.

We chatted a few words casually, without delay, so many tourists are waiting.The three of Walker took the tourists back to the log cabin, and started self-picking activities from there.Qin Yi and Su Sa took the two little girls to continue shopping, but they didn't go any further, just playing nearby.

He hugged Angel and Becky one after another, and asked the two little guys to pick a big apple each. Tourists came one after another behind him. It seemed that the self-help picking had already started.

With everyone eating together, Angel and Becky also forgot the deliciousness of the apples in the space at home, and each held a big apple, chewing sweetly.

"Hello!"

At this time, a Caucasian couple walked over with a 3 or 4-year-old boy, and greeted Qin Yi and the others with a smile.

"Hello, are you having fun?" Qin Yi shook hands with the white man.

"Very good!" The white man raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes exaggeratedly, took a deep breath, and was a little intoxicated: "I feel the breath of nature!"

The white woman smiled and patted her husband, and said to him for being funny, "Hi, I'm Monica, my husband Bit, and our baby Marvin. Are you the owners of Angel Farm? We know you."

"Hello, are you enjoying your time at Angel's Farm?" Qin Yi was interviewing tourists about their experience, thinking that if he could find room for improvement, it would be worth the trip.Susa didn't speak, just smiled and watched Qin Yi greet them.After the two little girls, Angel and Becky, stopped talking about the adults or the scenery, they surrounded little Marvin and teased him to call her sister.

Especially Becky, this girl was able to be an older sister for the first time, and this rare opportunity made her very excited!
"Angel Farm is the best tourist farm nearby, but I think there are still some shortcomings." Bit was blunt, talking about his family's travel experience in the past two days, "We are from Great Rapids, and we live and work in the urban area. Like most of them, I really want to be close to nature. But some projects on Angel Farm are too traditional.”

"Such as horse riding and milking, these other farms also have them, which are nothing special. If there is something special, there are some facilities in the children's playground, and the lamb race is also good."

Bit did have some ideas, and Qin Yi wrote down what he said, and told Hobbs when he went back, what areas need to be improved and innovated, and they should be done as soon as possible, otherwise other farms will be jealous of the popularity of their farm tourism and come out to grab business It's bad.

Seeing that Qin Yi was listening seriously, Monica also said a few words: "Yi, I think we can also increase some cultural experience, such as setting up a small venue to introduce some Chinese culture and Indian culture, and put some cultural connotations in it." It is also a way to attract tourists."

Qin Yi's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was also good. Chinese culture could attract old Americans to visit, and Indian culture could attract domestic tourists. Anyway, a few houses can be designed as a simple small venue, and the cost is not high.

The two sides chatted for a while, and after taking a group photo, they separated and continued to visit the orchard.Some Chinese tourists also came over to say hello to Qin Yi from time to time, and took photos with Angel and Becky. People kept praising them for their cuteness and beauty, which made the girls very happy.
