American Ranch

Chapter 27 Mowing the Grass and the Rabbit House

Qin Yi got up and poured him a glass of water, and when he came back to see that he was still staring at the burrito, he suddenly felt his eyes twitching, isn't he full after eating three?
The pancakes made by Qin Yi are not small, and the meat is also enough. Most people will be full after eating two. This guy eats three at a stretch, and still stares at his own one, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to fall asleep!

"Do you still want to eat? If you want to eat, I'll make it tomorrow morning. Don't eat it today, and you won't be afraid of being stuffed to death!" Qin Yi handed over the water, but didn't pour much. Now that he's just full, it's not appropriate to drink too much water.

"Such a simple burrito, why is it so delicious!" Ye Fang took the water and was indeed a little full, so let's do it today and eat it tomorrow!
"Don't drink too much water, first take Laipi out for a stroll to digest food." Qin Yi sat down, spread the rest of the venison on the pancakes, poured the soup on them, rolled them up and ate them deliciously. Ye Fang on one side is greedy, and he just thinks that he should eat slowly, and savor the good taste slowly!

Ye Fang got up and grabbed Lai Pi on the sofa, and went out for a walk!
After eating the burritos, he went back to the kitchen to wash up, and Qin Yi went out to the wine cellar.The juice has been stored for a day, and it is almost clarified. Qin Yi plans to put it into the fermentation barrel now, so that there will be fruit wine to drink in a week.After making simple cider, plum wine, and pear wine, Qin Yi tried to mix several kinds of fruit juices to see what flavors he could produce!After working for an hour, I saw Ye Fang drinking tea when I went back to the room. The two sat down and chatted for a while. They felt that their digestion was almost gone, so they both went back to the room to take a shower and sleep.

At dawn, it was the same old job again. After breakfast, Ryan called. Tomorrow, the pasture in the western part of the ranch will be harvested, and a few temporary workers will be hired to help.Qin Yi was very happy when he received the call, he could finally try a large lawn mower!

As for finding temporary workers to help, Qin Yi handed it over to Ryan. Ryan has lived here for so many years, and he still has contacts. Call Isaac, the owner of the cowboy bar, and he will know everything when he talks there. According to the market standard here, it is slightly higher, and there are definitely a lot of people rushing to do it for $60 a day.

One day today, Qin Yi didn't take Ye Fang out for a walk, the two of them drank beer on the terrace to enjoy the scenery, enjoyed the leisurely life of the ranch, and in the evening, admired the magnificence of the sunset covering the earth and dyeing the earth golden.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Ryan brought some cowboys over.Ryan, Burke, and the Cooper brothers are all cowboys on the ranch. It's the first time I've seen the other cowboys. It seems that they are temporary workers hired by Ryan.

The Cooper brothers are twins, Big Cooper and Little Cooper. They are 2 meters tall, with bulging muscles, and they are very burly. They look like iron towers at that station. Their hair is short and their faces are full of flesh. They don’t look like good people .In fact, after getting along with each other, you will know that these two brothers are straightforward and stupid, they are very loyal, if you treat him well, he will treat you better. Among the ranch cowboys, Qin Yi has the deepest impression on them.

After saying hello, everyone didn't chat. Ryan and Burke drove a large lawn mower with wheels that were one person tall, and the other cowboys drove five medium-sized ones. They waved their hands and left first.

Qin Yi took Ye Fang and the Cooper brothers back to the wine cellar to move four barrels of beer, put them on the quad bike and drove to follow.

Along the way, the lawn mower buzzed. After walking for more than an hour, everyone arrived at the field, and without talking nonsense, the few people on the lawn mower started working directly.

Large mowers can harvest 5000 acres of grass in one day, and medium-sized mowers can harvest 2000 acres. It takes 4 days to complete the grass harvesting of the entire Sun River Ranch.Large lawn mowers are the easiest, and you basically don’t need to change people throughout the day. Medium-sized lawn mowers need to change people every two hours. After all, the whole process is manual, which consumes energy.

In the middle, Qin Yi also went up to feel it. Sitting on a large lawn mower is like sitting on the second floor, driving forward suddenly, full of horsepower, and rampaging like a monster.Afterwards, I tried a medium-sized lawn mower. Although it was not as good as the large-scale one, it was definitely not bad to watch the pastures fall down one after another. But after driving for an hour, the freshness passed, and the rest was boring!
The stubble left by mowing grass in summer is relatively short. Qin Yi looked at the harvested pastures, and there were 8 or 9 centimeters left. If the stubble is left in winter, it will be higher. In winter, the pasture will stop growing, and some nutrients should be left for the pasture to survive the winter.

At noon, Susie and Rachel came to deliver lunch, which was very simple, including barbecue, burgers and salads, and a large pot of coffee, which was served in an insulated box.Suzy and Rachel had just brought out their lunch and worked all morning, and the cowboys with growling stomachs gathered around, gnawing on barbecue and burgers!
After lunch, Qin Yi didn't stay here any longer. He also experienced the lawn mower. If he really stayed to mow the grass, he would definitely not be able to bear this kind of boring work!

Take Ye Fang back to the main house, open the door, Lai Pi is lying on the sofa and looking at this side, remembering that he hasn't fed Lai Pi yet, this guy sleeps late every morning, and has two meals a day at noon and night.But although he ate less often, he ate a lot. He ate a big apple every time, and some improved alfalfa hay that Qin Yi got back, and most of them went to sleep after eating, never went for a run, and his whole body was chubby.

Ye Fang touched Lai Pi's head, went back to the house to take a bath, and Qin Yi went to find food for Lai Pi.

There are not many fruits in the refrigerator. This time, Qin Yi took out all the apples in the space to make wine. He was busy and forgot to keep some. Fortunately, the fruit trees will ripen in these two days, so don't worry about it being interrupted!
He took out a big apple and fed it to Lai Pi, and Qin Yi remembered that he said a few days ago that he wanted to make a nest for Lai Pi. These two days, he took the leaves to the pasture and forgot. It happened that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he made it for Lai Pi in the afternoon. A nest.

I went to the warehouse to search around, but couldn't find a suitable board, so I left Ye at home to play with Lai Pi, and Qin Yi drove to the Augusta Supermarket to look for it.When I arrived at the supermarket, I asked the salesperson. Qin Yi followed the instructions and came to the pet nest area. There were various nests that caught my eye, huts with the appearance and color of a big apple, wooden single rooms, and pet cottages!
Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh, Nima has done so many tricks in a kennel!

In addition to the small nest, there are also small boards of various materials. Qin Yi didn't choose the small nest, but chose some suitable boards, and went back to make a hut for Lai Pi himself.

Back at the ranch, Qin Yi went back to his room and took out his computer, searching the living room for design samples of pet nests, while Ye Fang was watching curiously.After looking around for a long time, I saw a lot of beautiful ones, but unfortunately it was either too troublesome to make or not suitable for rambunctiousness.Think about it, the big apple nest is Lai Pi's dish, and Lai Pi likes to eat big apples the most!

Just make a big apple, and once the decision is made, Qin Yi will start to do it.

The skinny body is almost 30 centimeters long, Qin Yi thought about it, it would be good to make a 50 centimeters wide nest, and it would be comfortable to live in a large space.Go to the warehouse to take out the tools, and start working on the lawn in front of the house. First, cut out four 50 cm squares of the board, and then nail the bottom of the small nest and the boards around it. A small circular door with a diameter of 20 cm.

Ye Fang watched and laughed: "Don't you want to be a big apple? How did you make a dice?"

Qin Yi shook his head triumphantly: "Haha, just watch!" He stood up and went back to the room, leaving behind Ye Fang who was confused.

After a while, Qin Yi came back again, holding a white and red blanket and a pillow in his hand.

Ye Fang looked puzzled: "Is this planning to make Lai Pi's bed?"

Qin Yi smiled without saying a word, spread a white blanket inside the den, nailed the roof of the den, and wrapped the red blanket around the outside of the den, finally, took out the pillow cotton and stuffed it between the board and the red blanket, Don't stop until the whole appearance looks round and round like an apple!
Ye Fang, who was watching from the side, was speechless, so this is also okay.
But look at it now, the inside is white, the outside is red, and it looks like a chubby one, but the apple stem is missing!Just as he was about to express his opinion, Qin Yi picked up a chainsaw and cut off a wooden strip. The environmentally friendly paint he had prepared earlier was sprayed up and down, and the wooden strip turned green. Well, Ye Fang didn’t say anything, this apple There are also stalks.

Qin Yi laughed, packed up the things and put them back in the warehouse, and carried the apples into the house. The stems of the apples should be dried first, so let's put them here.

Back in the house, the apple house was placed next to the closet, and he took Lai Pi from the sofa to see his new home.

"Lai Pi, this is your new home, you will sleep here from now on, you know?" Qin Yi patted Lai Pi's head and taught him earnestly!

Lai Pi was very happy to see a big apple. With his two front paws, he patted here and scratched there. After wandering around twice, he got into the small round hole. After a while, he exposed his head and squeaked at Qin Yi. He probably liked it very much. New home, just lie down and sleep in it!
"It seems that Lai Pi likes it very much, your skills are not in vain!" Ye Fang sat on the sofa and drank coffee.

"That's right, with our hands-on ability, that's a once-in-a-hundred-year chance for an absolute genius!" Qin Yi poured himself a cup, and drank it slowly. "I haven't heard from you yet. How is the business?"

"Just put up the shelf, the company has been registered in China and here, the procedures are easy to handle, but it's hard to find talents, I hired a manager, and other employees can find it slowly!"

In the next few days, the two rode horses and went fishing. Four days later, the pastures were harvested and dried, and they were bundled and sent to the barn for storage. When paying the temporary workers, Qin Yi gave an extra $4 bonus, and several temporary workers praised Qin Yi as a good person! Qin Yi didn't care about the $50, the reputation spread, and recruiting people in the future was just a matter of words.

The next morning, Ye Fang was going back. The company had just been established and he was busy with many things. Qin Yi sent him to the Augusta Airport and watched the plane take off before leaving.

Thinking of the lack of a lot of Chinese spices at home, Qin Yi planned to go to the Augusta Supermarket to look for them, but he didn't hold out much hope. It would be best if he had one.

I looked around in the supermarket, but I didn't see any Chinese-style ingredients and seasonings. It seems that I still have to go to Great Falls!Since you are going, let's go now, Qin Yi doesn't want to make another trip another day.

After driving for more than an hour, I arrived in Great Falls and found a large supermarket. Sure enough, there were a lot of ingredients with Chinese characteristics, such as tofu, sausage, salted duck, mustard, etc. Qin Yi decided to make a big purchase. These things were packed into boxes. The fat and fat female salesperson was stunned, what is she going to do, is the end of the world coming?

Qin Yi didn't care about her. After moving the ingredients, he went back to find Huaxia aniseed ingredients, such as peppercorns and star anise. He also took a catty. After paying the bill, he asked the salesperson to ask someone to help him move everything to the pickup truck, and drove away. this supermarket.

Before leaving, Qin Yi wrote down the name of the supermarket, Smith's Supermarket, um, come back again if necessary!
