American Ranch

Chapter 685 The time is early May

Easter week passed, life was back on track again, the girls went to work, raised babies, Angel's spring break was over, and the third term of her preschool year began.

Since Thanksgiving last year, the little girl has never been allowed to take the school bus alone. Every day, the adults drive to pick her up, sometimes Qin Yi, sometimes one or two of the girls even go shopping in a group!
But more, Mother Qin went to pick up and drop off her good granddaughter herself.

It took her more than half a year to finally learn to drive and get a driver's license. She likes to drive around. She can also drive all kinds of agricultural machinery in the ranch. In comparison, Qin's mother is more courageous than Qin's father. Have the courage to practice, because so far, a few months have passed, and Dad has only learned to drive a quad bike!

Once at dinner, Qin Yi joked that my mother would have been a strong woman if she hadn't been poor and couldn't afford to go to school when she was a child!
Qin's father doesn't care about this, he is stubborn, but before Qin Yi took charge of the family, Qin's mother was the one who made the decisions in the family, and he has long been used to it!

But he also has something to be proud of, at least he rides a horse very smoothly, goes to graze with the cowboys all day long, occasionally goes fishing, teases the small animals at home, and plays with his good granddaughter. Drinking wine and playing poker like back home!
Moreover, learning English is really difficult for him, and communication is quite strenuous.

This is because of Qin Yi's Chinese identity, the cowboys have taught themselves some simple daily Chinese words, otherwise it will be more difficult!

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. Since the arrival of spring in March, the spring is now strong. After more than a month of fattening, the beef cattle in the pasture are fat and strong again. The season of beef cattle in the new year is also coming Since then, the curtain has been drawn.

And the "big battle for beef cattle" between restaurants and hotels that was staged last year has also been fiercely competitive early this year. This Michelin three-star restaurant has reserved [-] cattle, and the multinational hotel chain has applied for [-] cattle.
Good guy, this is not shopping, the eager and expectant posture is like stealing money!
But counting the expected number of slaughter this year: about 1 head at Sun River Ranch, [-] head at Wobe Lake in Dakota, and [-] head at Teddy Ranch in Oregon, the total is about [-] head!

Qin Yi is naturally quite satisfied with this amount, but in the entire United States, there are no less than [-] two-star Michelin restaurants, plus the endless chain hotels, it is simply not enough.
Consumers are increasing and demand is expanding, but the number of Qin's beef cattle is still limited.

The major restaurants and hotels look at the US market which is far from being saturated, and a golden Mississippi River seems to appear in front of them. What flows inside is not clear river water, but dollars and gold!
But what makes people desperate is that I can only act like an idiot, watching a huge amount of wealth flow away, feeling distressed, cursing, and going crazy, but there is nothing I can do
Oh God, have you deserted your people?
Most respected eternal Hades (God of Wealth), please protect your believers as always!
The wealth that flows away cannot be grasped. After praying, these pragmatic businessmen can only devote themselves to the battle for the quota of Qin's beef cattle. The more they fight now, the more they will earn in the future!

Ke Luo, who is still in charge of beef cattle sales, once said with a smile: What these damn businessmen are fighting for is not beef, but dollars!

Not only the partners from last year, but also many other buyers who tried to get a share of the pie. If they had to receive and interview each of them, the whole family would be too busy, so Qin Yi discussed with his daughters-in-law and directly engaged in a farm Animal Husbandry Conference.

It is also very simple to say, just announce the date of the fair to the outside world, and then let Ryan and others prepare the venue and arrange the reception work. The main reason is to allocate the sales quota at one time, so that people will not always come to seek cooperation and disturb the quietness of the ranch life,

However, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Fair at Sun River Ranch is great news for Augusta and even the surrounding counties!

In the past, small and medium-sized farms and pastures had no sales channels, and could only sell their agricultural and pastoral products to major livestock companies. However, these companies controlled by Wall Street capitalists never considered the interests of ordinary farmers, and often pushed prices down. VERY LOW, LOVE TO SELL!
Therefore, this meeting, for nearby farmers who hate black-hearted capitalists, is an excellent opportunity to directly reach a deal with a retailer regardless of the animal husbandry company!
So Walker, Marcus and others contacted Qin Yi as soon as they got the news.

How could Qin Yi not understand their thoughts!
However, he was not going to get involved, and he just helped out with an idea to ask them to organize a trade fair in the town square, and then let Ryan take the purchasing representatives around, and it would depend on each farmer how much he could gain in the end. It's the ranch's job.

The matter of the ranch is settled for the time being, and Ke Luo, who has been busy for more than ten days, is finally able to relax again. After a painting contest with Susa and Rachel, they went to the sunshine room with fragrant and pleasant flower racks together. Planning their spring vacation plans.

At this time, Qin Yi was leading Angel who came back from school, walking on the grass with big hands and small hands, black rice and wheat running around in front of him, and animals behind him, sniffing wild flowers and fluttering butterflies, Occasionally, he would go behind the rocks on one side and play hide-and-seek with his friends
Carefree, it is even more leisurely and enjoyable than the owners!
The father and daughter brought two plastic buckets, big and small. They are going to catch fish by the small lake. They haven't eaten small fried fish for a long time. Recently, the little girl has been so greedy!
"Dad, we have a baseball game tomorrow morning in our school's stadium, and I will also participate. Will you come and see me play?"

Worried that her beautiful shoes would get wet by the lake, the little girl specially wore rain boots, walked with big strides, and walked with a bang, while swinging a small bucket, on which a small turtle pattern flipped over due to her shaking Turning over, as if being washed by a flood and losing balance.

"Of course, Dad will go to cheer on our little beauty tomorrow! Mom and aunts will also go, and other children will definitely be envious. Wow, see, the lineup of Angel's support team is really strong!"

Naturally, Qin Yi would not reject the girl's expectations, and his words really satisfied the little girl. So many people cheering for him, the children will definitely be envious!

The father and daughter wore the same style of parent-child sun visors, shaking their arms all the way to the lake.

In order to facilitate the placement of fishing nets, last autumn, Qin Yi asked the cowboys to help build a wooden pier.The structure is very simple. Wooden piles are buried in the water, and wooden planks are laid on it, hanging more than ten meters into the lake, like a half wooden bridge. With the surrounding grass and water plants, and the large and small stones on the shore, it has a quiet charm.

The distance between the boardwalk and the lake is only one foot, and Qin Yi can touch the lake with his hand. In Montana in early May, the water temperature is still a bit cool, so it is not suitable for swimming.

Seeing that he can enjoy the gentleness of the lake water, Angel couldn't help but feel moved. She lay on the pier with her little butt pouted, dragged the small bucket to the left and right to play in the water, and after a few strokes, put the bucket aside again, and stretched out her little hands to try it out. The temperature of the water, but I stretched my arms, but I couldn’t reach it
Qin Yi saw it funny, and was worried that she would fall into the water, so he pinched her waist and sent her forward. Half of Angel's body was suspended on the lake, and she screamed twice in fright, and complained to Qin Yi, "I like to scare people." Home"!
But then I felt it was fun and exciting again, my little head was hanging down to the lake, giggling and playing in the water, the rushing movement scared away a few big fat fish and crabs in the nearby aquatic plants, the little girl saw it and yelled "big fat Fish don't run away".
Qin Yi is funny: Don't run away?Leave it for you to catch and go home to make sweet and sour fish?
