Text Chapter 508: Sheep and Water

After Du Lei solved Zhou Jiexi's doubts about being gay, he also let go of his mind and was able to chat with Zhou Jiexi. No, I don’t know, Zhou Jiexi looked at the former stowaway in front of him, and now he is still working and going to school in the United States.

He is also studying management knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry, but the school is a little worse than the one that Alan attended. After all, Du Lei does not have so much money and energy, so he went so far to go to the Harvard college that is called the cowboy school.

After chatting for quite a while, Zhou Jiexi felt that this compatriot from the Celestial Dynasty was pretty good. After all, he was one of his own. If he had the ability to buy a farm by himself in the future, he might consider getting him a farm manager. Now After buying here, you can be Atwood's deputy first. After all, there is a local snake in the new farm, and you can better sort out the relationship inside.

In the afternoon, Holjim invited Jessie and Zhou to visit his house and invited them to try the products of their farm. In addition to beef, Stream Farm also has cheese made from cows and a small group of Dutch goats. This kind of mutton is fresh and tender, with a strong fishy smell but not greasy, especially when grilled into lamb chops, it tastes extra delicious.

After Zhou Jiexi only ate one piece, he felt that this kind of sheep would be cultivated in the space in the future, and raised on a farm outside. The taste would definitely be a step closer than it is now. Another signature dish of the restaurant.

The most attractive thing in the western restaurant now is the beef provided by Taikuai Farm, as well as the small amount of vegetable salad and fresh soup provided by Sky Farm. Then there is the coffee beans that Zhou Jiexi supplies to western restaurants in small batches. Now this lamb chops Zhou Jiexi thinks are good, so he can buy them and put them in western restaurants.

Jessie Zhou quietly mentioned this idea to Atwood, and the old guy also thought it was a good idea. In the past, I used to patronize beef, but I didn't know that the lamb chops at Xiliu Farm tasted so good.

Seeing that Jessie Zhou and the others were emotionally Xu, Hall Jim introduced, "This is a subspecies of Dutch sheep that I have bred through several experiments before. Although the taste is very good, it is very difficult to reproduce in the second generation. It takes a lot of money." Sheep breeds can be bred alternately, but if you want them to come by themselves, the success rate is very low."

"That's such a pity!" Atwood said with emotion, it turned out that it was just a failure, no wonder he didn't apply to the Ministry of Agriculture.

"This batch was bred in the past and grew up. It was only after they grew up that I realized that their meat quality was very good, but I thought it would be too difficult to crossbreed, and it would be too difficult for them to breed for their own second generation. In addition, I don’t plan to do it anymore on the farm, so this species may become extinct in the future.” Holjim said.

Zhou Jiexi rolled his eyes and asked, "Mr. Jim, doesn't he want to keep cultivating them, maybe there are variants that can fix them? Wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this?"

Holjim shook his head: "I plan to go to my hometown, if I buy a farm there, maybe I will try again, but I haven't been in the mood for a few years!"

Atwood already had a little idea of ​​Zhou Jiexi's plan, and it seemed that his boss wanted to get the sheep back and try for himself. He is actually not very excited about this kind of breed that failed to breed. American farmers don't know how many new breeds have been bred, but there are few that can stabilize the gene and keep it unchanged for several generations.

It is not so cost-effective to continue to breed this kind of privately bred sheep.

Jessie Zhou is not worried about the problem that Jim Hole said, and put it in the lost space at that time, let's take it slowly and use partial time to speed up. Even if it is a sheep with a high mortality rate, if you try a few times, one will survive. Besides, there is enough aura in the space, which can definitely reduce part of the death rate.

If it doesn't work at that time, you can crossbreed with other sheep breeds and create a new one yourself. After making up his mind, he said again, "Mr. Jim, I am very interested in your hybrid sheep. Their meat quality is really great. Isn't it a pity to give up these cute guys!"

Hall Jim now listened to what Jesse Zhou meant. As an old cowboy, he was also a farmer or a businessman. He would not do business at a loss, especially when someone liked him. "Mr. Zhou, do you want these sheep?"

"I have this idea, their meat quality suits my taste!" Zhou Jiexi is not stupid, like it doesn't mean you have to. The price is too high, brother is not slaughtered by two idiots.

"I still have five or seven sheep of this kind here, including twenty-three rams and thirty-four ewes. If you need it, I can consider selling it to you, Mr. Zhou!" Holjim said with a smile.

"How much is it, I still need a follow-up training authorization. If I succeed in training in the future, I will have no interest relationship with Mr. Jim!" Zhou Jiexi said directly.

"Three million dollars, I can agree to your terms!" Holjim said.

"Mr. Jim, you can't get money as fast as you go to a bank robbery. You are still an unstable breed! This price is too outrageous." Before Zhou Jiexi could speak, Atwood jumped out and sang Red face.

Zhou Jiexi also nodded: "Mr. Jim, I am very sincere. I can only give you one million dollars at most. This is my reserve price. If you are interested, I will give you another money. Of course Even if it is unsuccessful, it will not affect our current farm transaction."

If it doesn't affect ghosts' beliefs, if it doesn't have any effect, what are you talking about? Holjim complained endlessly in his heart, but the price was indeed within his acceptable range. "I can promise you, Mr. Zhou, but I only sell it. I also want to keep a share of the subsequent breeding rights at that time. After all, I still want to stabilize their genes in my lifetime. What do you think?"

"Deal!" Zhou Jiexi agreed without any nonsense. Anyway, I made it clear that I need to use space to cheat. Even if you are bred, it is definitely not as good as the sheep I bred. Space is the only one without a semicolon. At that time, even if you have stabilized the sheep's genes, the ones bred by you are probably far from yours.

The first transaction came as a bit of a surprise. The two had already reached a verbal agreement and agreement on this. As long as the lawyers of both parties arrived, they would draft an effective legal document. After the two signed it, it would be considered effective.

Zhou Jiexi tasted their beef again at Xiliu Farm. It was indeed very good. After all, the cattle raised by free grazing were much better than the cattle raised in captivity.

"Mr. Jim, my boss already intends to buy the tens of thousands of cows left on your farm. As long as you give a reasonable price, I believe you can save a commission for the auction house!" Art Wood said to Holjim.

"On this aspect, you can rest assured that the price I will give will never be high. The price in the bull market is US$1.25 per pound. I can give you US$1.20 per pound. The price for bulls and cows is the same, but the cows on my farm, you It will also be purchased in a package.”

Atwood shook his head, "Mr. Jim, we sincerely want to help you solve the problem, but the price you gave is still too high, and I don't want to continue bargaining with you, the price is 1.1 US dollars a pound!"

"No, although I need to pay a commission for the auction, but your price is too low, I'm afraid I can't promise you!" Holjim shook his head and said.

"A few days ago, the price of beef was only one dollar per pound, that is, the recent drought, which raised the price a little bit. At that time, you and I knew that our location would not increase the cost because of the drought. So one point one is our The final price! As for the cows, we can also buy them in packages.”

Hall Jim was silent for a long time, and Zhou Jiexi and Atwood didn't bother him. At this time, it is best to let him think carefully. Just when Zhou Jiexi was a little impatient, Hol Jim finally spoke on time after studying? : "OK, then it's 1.1 dollars a pound! But there is one condition, I hope you don't lay off workers after taking over the farm, they are a group of good guys."

Atwood turned his head and nodded to Jesse Zhou, indicating that the price was indeed the lowest, and he could agree to his terms, but he had to leave some room. "Okay, it's a deal, but we won't lay off staff for the time being. As long as they work hard, we can promise not to lay off staff if there is no financial crisis!" Zhou Jiexi nodded in agreement.

The farm transaction has not been successful, but Zhou Jiexi bought the sheep and cattle first. In this regard, he does want to replenish some farm cattle. Another thing is to ask Atwood to try a batch of calves at Sky Farm to see if they can improve the quality of the meat. Although the result was certain, he still had to pretend not to know.

Atwood also meant the same thing. The changes on the farm were a bit strange. He had always wondered if the development of groundwater made the grassland on the farm better. Only then did the cattle become more delicious after being fed well. After all, the first thing to raise a good cattle is to have good grass from the sheep.

In addition, with the arrival of Zhou Jiexi, the irrigation system has been laid in all aspects, and the pipes are also connected to the groundwater, and sometimes the water is pumped up from below. Compared with river water, groundwater is richer in minerals and has better purity. Coupled with some water rights issues and hangzi issues, Atwood originally felt that it was necessary to connect groundwater and reserve a backup water source for the farm.

The farm has been changing for so long, and he couldn't find the reason. He could only suspect that it went to the groundwater. As for Zhou Jiexi? As long as there is no problem in the head, no one will think about him. How can this completely irrelevant matter be involved in his boss.
