Yunding Ranch

Chapter 408 Batch Supply
The footsteps stopped at the edge of the organic farm, and as far as the eye could see, the vast land stretched out endlessly, as if the edge could not be seen.

The majestic cornfields that used to be there have all disappeared now, and the uneven forest edge can be clearly seen, but the towering trees are like rows of low bushes at this time. The gray-blue sky seemed to be getting higher, wider, and farther away.A bird spread its wings and glides lightly across the sky, outlining the desolation of the cold winter.

In such a vast world, a small figure is like a worker ant, tirelessly walking and busy, seemingly insignificant, but changing the world bit by bit.

"Aren't you curious about my evaluation of lunch just now?" Graham's voice broke the silence and asked.

But Lu Li knew that he was just raising the topic.Because he didn't turn his eyes around at all, he was always focused on Randy who was busy; and there was no intention of discussion in his words, on the contrary, there was a hint of ridicule.Rather than saying that he asked a question; it is better to say that he is taking the initiative.

It was a trap, but Lu Li had no choice. He knew it was a trap and had to jump into it.Because he is a buyer's market, and Graham is a seller's market.

However, Lu Li did not obey Graham's wishes, but shrugged his shoulders, "I'm trying to increase the bargaining chip." He could feel Graham's chuckle exhaling, "I mean, if you have already made up your mind If we are determined, then we are already signing the agreement; since we have come to the organic farm to conduct an actual inspection, this shows that I still have work to do."

"You sound like a very pessimistic person." Graham folded his hands behind his back and looked sideways at Lu Li, "Why must it be a field trip? Maybe it's because I'm trying to figure out the content of the agreement and need some time to buffer; Maybe, it's because I'm curious about how those vegetables are grown, and I just want to visit."

Lu Li chuckled lightly, then turned to look at Graham, "So, is that so?" A rhetorical question made Graham pause, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, and he was about to continue answering. But Lu Li spoke first, "It's not pessimism, but caution. In other words, lack of self-confidence."

Graham showed a puzzled expression, "Is there still such a saying?"

Lu Li seemed to have remembered something interesting, and laughed brightly. He tried to restrain himself, but failed, so he simply gave up control and said with a smile on his face, "You know 'American Idol'? I used to watch During the audition, some people were tone deaf, it was terrible, but they were always extremely confident. They sincerely believed that they had outstanding strength and had the ability to win the championship. This kind of confidence that did not come is really incomprehensible. At first, I thought it was because of the effect of the program that they did it on purpose, but after I came here to study, I gradually discovered that everything was true."

Graham suddenly realized, and nodded with great interest, "Because the education we have received since childhood is: I am the best."

Lu Li spread his hands and said with a smile, "The education we have received since we were young is: you still need to keep working hard, and there are always others who are better than you."

Graham looked at Luli seriously.The content of his words is about "lack of self-confidence", but the whole person's speech, expression, and movements are full of confidence.It was not an American-style show of sharpness, but it showed a maturity and wisdom that did not match his age. Suddenly, Graham thought: Maybe this is the result of the exchange and integration of the two cultures.

"What was our initial topic?" Graham narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously.

"You are thinking about what kind of agreement you should provide to our ranch." Lu Li replied, and then saw Graham's questioning eyes, but he met Graham's gaze very calmly, full of taking it for granted. .

Graham laughed dumbfounded, but said nothing more, neither agreed nor opposed, and turned his head to look at the organic farm in front of him again.

"Are you planning to come here?" Randy stood up straight, his gloved hands were covered with mud, and shouted, "It's not a wise choice to stand there all the time to enjoy the scenery. I suggest You go down the creek, where Fourteen planted a piece of metasequoia, and the scenery is nice."

Lu Li and Graham exchanged glances, and then stepped forward one after the other, walking towards Randy's direction, but before they got there, Randy shouted in panic, "Stop, Stop, don't come any closer."

Lu Li couldn't help complaining, "Aren't you contradicting yourself? Are you letting us pass or not?"

Randy pointed to the ditch next to the field ridge with his chin, "I'm doing anti-freeze work, don't step on the field ridge and ruin my work."

"You are allowed to see, but not to touch." Graham nodded meaningfully, "I hear this sentence often."

Randy didn't understand, but Lu Li showed a surprised expression, "Really? I thought you were more of the 'less nonsense, more work' type."

During this back and forth, a smile flashed in the eyes of both of them.Randy frowned, and asked with question marks on his face, "Did I miss something? Why do I always feel something is wrong? Fourteen, is this a guest of the resort? Are you going to come and experience the farm? If so, today Not very suitable, because today's work is very heavy."

Lu Li was about to introduce, but this time it was Graham who cut in first, "I think you would prefer someone to share your work, if it is very heavy."

Randy froze for a moment, then nodded again and again, "Of course, if you don't mind, it's certainly a good thing for me. However, before the formal experience, I need you to receive simple training, and everything must follow the formal steps. Absolutely no nonsense. Otherwise, I'd rather you not be a disservice. We are now being audited by IOCIM and the USDA, hoping to get certified as an organic farm, and I don't want to see any mistakes."

"What, isn't it going well? I mean, certification." Graham asked along the way.

Lu Li knew that Graham was investigating in his own way, so he didn't interrupt, but left space for Randy.As an expert, Randy's persuasion is much stronger than him.

"No, it's going very well." Randy said confidently, "We have successfully passed the audit in every link before this, and we have received a lot of praise. Next, we will wait for this batch of kale to be harvested." After the harvest, there will be another test, and if there is no accident, we will be able to obtain organic food certification." Mentioning his hard work, Randy's whole body glowed.

Graham closed his jaw, expressed his affirmation, and scanned the land in front of him, "How many acres are there?"

"One hundred acres." Randy also followed Graham's line of sight, scanning the circle, "This year we only plan to develop one hundred acres. Next, we will look at the production and sales, and then decide whether to continue to expand. Now this piece of land is only taken care of by me, and I don’t want to be too greedy, so as not to be overwhelmed.”

"When the farming is busy, Adam will come to help." Lu Li interjected.

Scarlett and Brandon are in charge of the stables, which is enough. The organic farm needs more manpower. In a short time, Adam will still switch back and forth between the stables and the farm, but if it continues, the farm has expansion plans If so, adjustments are required.In fact, after this busy period was over, Lu Li was still thinking about the possibility of adding Leyland sheep and Angus cattle, assuming the upper limit of the pasture's capacity was considered.

Randy showed a disgusted expression, "Adam doesn't understand anything now, I have to teach you little by little." That arrogant look really made people laugh.

"One hundred acres is really not much." Graham sighed softly, then found a gap, and asked again, "Is this the first batch of kale? It shouldn't be. How about the previous unit yield?"

Randy cast a smug look at Lu Li. Obviously, this is the most proud part of Yunding Ranch, "The yield per acre is about [-] pounds."

Graham's eyes showed surprise, and his expression was obviously turbulent.According to the past experience of Whole Foods Market, the yield of kale is relatively not so stable. Generally speaking, the yield per acre fluctuates between [-] pounds and [-] pounds. The most outstanding one, Graham once acquired After one season, the yield per acre is [-] pounds.

Now, the yield per acre of Yunding Ranch is [-] pounds, and judging from Randy's tone, this is an average figure, which means that at the highest point, there may be more!
If it's just the quantity, it's not enough to shock, but it will make people wonder whether a catalyst or something was used; but the problem is that Graham just tasted the kale, and he is not a professional, at least compared to Michael , his knowledge is limited, but he also made the same judgment as Michael - this is definitely the top kale, with amazing nutritional value and eating taste.

Not only that, Yunding Ranch is now applying for organic certification.It also goes to show that all of their sessions are officially sanctioned - at least so far.

This is definitely called the Arabian Nights, it is simply unimaginable.Even if he is as experienced as Graham, it is inevitable that his heart will be full of excitement.

what does that mean?This means that if it can pass the audit, Yunding Ranch will not only provide top quality kale, but also the output of [-] acres is enough to surpass many medium-sized suppliers!This is of extraordinary strategic significance to Whole Foods Market.

It was originally just a face-to-face visit to exchange favors, but accidentally dug into the vault?Graham was a little excited, but he still suppressed his emotions in a sophisticated way, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Li and Randy suspiciously, "Isn't today April Fool's Day? Or is it because the Halloween event hasn't ended yet?"
