The Best Small Farm

Lei Ersi flipped through the information in his hand, but he thought about the frequent visits to Xiaowang's farm these days. Lambton was mysterious these days, and Jennifer was lukewarm, and she was away most nights. Realls made several reservations at the western restaurant of the Chris Manor Hotel, and invited Jennifer to have dinner together, but Jennifer was unwell and refused. But after inquiring about the news, it was said that Jennifer was mostly Hank's farm these nights, which made Leiers frowned a little, and then thought of Li Han's matter, and was a little puzzled.

The entire Hank farm is still in an orderly manner. In terms of cultivation, corn, sorghum, wheat and barley are all planted, and some remote undeveloped places seem to be planted with grass seeds. Peter got the news that planting grass seeds in these places does not mean much, which made Reels even more confused. Albert, a real ranch manager, would not do these things after inquiring about him. It doesn't make sense, and it's even a loss. "Could it be that Chinese man?"

With Li Han's background, the more Laiers investigates, the more confused he becomes. It seems that many people have some connections. At first, he thought it was because of the Jennifer family, but looking at it now, it is not all. "Peter, what's going on at Hank's farm these days."

Peter will spend most of his time at Rales Ranch now. Rales is a good boss, and he is always satisfied with money. "Bouton Radio mentioned Pinewood Ranch today." "The newspaper also mentioned it." He said and took out the newspaper. "Miracle squirrel?"

Rails flipped through it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hehe, it's very interesting." "It's really getting more and more incomprehensible." Realls looked at the photo of Li Han on the newspaper, and tapped lightly. Similarly, when Li Han saw himself in the newspaper, he pouted speechlessly. The person who took the photo probably had a grudge against him, and the photo was too ugly. "Little Han, Niuchang phone." "Oh." Li Han put the newspaper aside. Zhang Xiuying patted it with a smile. "It was a good shot."

Li Han curled his lips, the little squirrels are even cuter than his own pictures, but fortunately, the protagonist, the little squirrels, took more pictures. "I'll cut out the newspaper and take it back to show your dad." "Mom, is this a big deal? Let's talk about the town's own newspaper."

"What's wrong with the newspaper in the small town? Ask how many people in our teacher's community have been published in the newspaper. Your dad has only been published once in his life when he won an award. He didn't like it." Zhang Xiuying patted her son and took the newspaper.

Li Han shook his head slightly and came to the living room. "Albert. Called the cattle farm. Hehe, yes, it was filmed yesterday. I didn't expect it to be in the newspaper today." Li Han took a little pride. Needless to say, buying Pinewood Ranch doesn't make much sense for Hank Farms.

Albert estimated the benefit of Pinewood Ranch. Too little, compared with investing in cattle farms, the benefits will be much more, but who would have thought that Li Han would make such a move, Albert knew a little about leisure farms. With the cooperation between Li Han and Chris Manor, perhaps the pine forest does not need to rely on wood at all, and the benefits are considerable. Albert had this strange feeling for the second time, the last time it was about pasture seeds. Now the grass planted on some barren hills has germinated, and the germination rate is frighteningly high.

"Grass seed?"

Li Han smiled wryly,

Lambton brought people over early in the morning. With more than 100,000 catties of grass seeds, Li Han didn't sleep much this week. He was working on grass seeds at night, and he was almost exhausted. Finally, Xiaowang Farm took care of it. Although he made a lot of money, it was tiring. "Albert, can you wait for two days?"

Albert was a little depressed. Early in the morning, he saw Xiaowang Farm across the street, plowing and sowing, and black grass seed bags. Albert could see clearly. When Albert said it, what else could Li Han say? There are already seeds, but I don’t have any in my own farm.

"Okay, tomorrow, let's do it tomorrow."

The warehouse purchased nearly 400,000 catties of seeds, and now there are only 30,000 to 40,000 catties left. Xiaowang Farm has transported about 300,000 catties, and Hanke Farm has used nearly 60,000 catties. This is because two large-scale crop seed areas have been opened. On the one hand, it is needed for wine making, and on the other hand, the cattle farm is expanding. The annual feed needs exceed Li Han's imagination. If you buy it, the cost is high. Otherwise, you can plant it yourself, and open two crop areas that exceed 10,000. Acres, just planted a few days ago.

Li Han also specially invited a group of people to have a drink. The biggest change is Steve and Colt. After more than half a month of reclamation and planting, Colt has become more sophisticated. Of course, Steve It surprised Li Han even more. Now the director of the planting area has become Steve. I have to say, this skinny little old man is amazing. You said that he is also a good hand at managing the farm when you talk about mobile phones. Unfortunately, he is too rich to afford to hire him, and he can’t treat diseases. Li Han is very happy to help out for free.

Seeing that Li Han agreed to come down, Albert said with a smile. "Han, Dawles brought the new boys to hunt a few deer and argali for the past few days. I'll send someone to send them to you later." Burt said with a smile, he is tired of eating these days.

Li Han was speechless, these guys probably didn't waste the bullets, so forget it, bring them here, just happened to eat too much beef recently, so I wanted a change. Not long after the phone was hung up here, Ye Fei and Martin arrived in a pickup truck delivering wild game.

"nice."

Li Han punched Ye Fei and Martin in the chest, and the leather squeaked. It didn't take long, and the body was well trained. "I'm getting used to farm life recently." "Hey, recently we go out to practice guns every day, and the work of herding cattle only happens once every two or three days."

Ye Fei patted the shotgun on his back, Li Han was speechless, Dawles and Albert were really good, no wonder Ye Fei and Martin were happy. "The gun practice looks good, and the prey can't be eaten up." "Don't say it, it's really different from home here. Pay some money, and wild animals can be killed casually."

Li Han couldn't laugh or cry. "Who said you can fight casually? It's because there are too many this year. You can try to fight casually. Martin, you should learn from Dawles and the others. Recently, grazing is not frequent. After a while, in a few days, the weather will change. It's warmer, but that's not the case, don't say we remind you."

In a few days, it is common to graze for a whole day, or even a pasture for several days. "Don't worry, we've gotten used to it long ago, Brother Li, we still have something to do, so let's go first." Li Han shook his head, these young people smiled wryly, and he seemed to be doing the same.

Li Han took care of the deer and the sheep, and sent one as well as a few lamb legs. Li Han simply kept some, and the rest were marinated and hung up to make air-dried meat. Mom and Aunt Xu came back from shopping and saw a lot of meat hanging. "Little Han, why is there so much meat hanging in the yard?"

"This is some wild game from the cattle farm, such as deer, turkey, and rabbit. There are too many. I kept it in the refrigerator for a while, and marinated the rest to make air-dried meat." Li Han said. "I see there is also a pig's leg, is it a wild boar?"

"may be."

Li Han didn't know, peeling off the skin, Dawles and the others handled it simply and quickly. "Originally, my eldest sister and I bought some pork belly and planned to make braised pork. We also wanted to buy two pork legs to make ham, but now we don't need to buy it."

Braised pork in oil, Li Han has heard Aunt Xu mention it several times. "When I make it later, I will help." Braised pork in oil is simple. The fat pork is boiled into lard, and then strips of pork belly that are two fingers wide and half a foot thick are marinated and fried in lard. golden.

Use a large jar, put the fried pork belly in it, pour it with fried pork belly lard, cover the pork belly with lard, seal the jar and put it out when waiting to eat. "In our house, everyone has a chicken jar with stewed meat from the past three or two years."

While sealing the jar, Aunt Xu talked to Li Han and Zhang Xiuying. "It's the same as our air-dried meat, which can be stored for a longer time." "It has been passed down by the older generation, and now people in the city don't make it very much. There is a refrigerator at home, and the meat supermarket can buy it at any time. Unlike the past, the oil stew made during the Chinese New Year Meat, meat and vegetables for one year."

Aunt Xu said.

"The taste of these traditional things is actually pretty good, it's a pity."

Li Han said while helping his mother to fish out the boiled soybeans. These soybeans were planted by Li Han himself. After harvesting, he did it by himself. The weather is getting warmer now, my mother is cleaning up the potatoes in the warehouse, the winter melon sees that there are a lot of soybeans, a lot of peanuts, and beets.

In fact, Li Han didn't grow many beets. After all, the farm expanded last year, and the small farms didn't take much care of them. They harvested beets and peanuts, but not many soybeans. "Pour it out to dry, this pot of soup, don't pour it out, little man, save it for feeding the cows."

The water for boiling soybeans is yellow and bright, and it is oily. Both calves and ponies love to drink it. Li Han mentioned the soybean water in the cowshed and came back to help his mother with work. Soybeans are divided into two, half of which are made into soybean paste, dried in the air, wrapped in flour, put in a bag and placed in a cool place, waiting to mold.

One part is made of stewed beans, soybeans, crispy raw peanuts, crushed garlic cloves, diced winter melon, diced carrots, diced red peppers, and minced ginger. Use watermelon juice and salt water, put them in a jar to seal, and let them sit for a while before eating up.

At noon, there were few people in the family, so I cooked fish head tofu, copied bean sprouts, and sweet potato sticks pickled by the island, full of red pepper, and it was really good for dinner. After lunch, Li Han made a pot of tea and took a book. Recently, he went to the Hamilton Social School twice, picked up some books, and came back to ponder on his own. There are many things that he didn’t know well at first, but now he put them away for a long time. Time, it's really hard to learn. Leaning on the chair, I feel a little confused when I look at it.

"Han, are you reading or sleeping?"

Li Han rubbed his eyes and put down his book. "Hehe, watch and sleep, sit down quickly."

Dinah sat down, Li Han got up and poured a cup of coffee. "Dinah, did Albert tell you about Lulu?" "It's done?" Dinah asked with surprise on her face. "After finishing it, I wanted to tell Lulu directly, but who would have thought that he would go to the mountain so early in the morning."

"I'll go over early tomorrow morning and tell him."

Dinah and Lulu, the first group of employees have a good relationship with Li Han. "No hurry, how's the milk production of the cows recently?" Quite famous, and made a lot of jokes. (to be continued..) ()
