Chapter 917: Preparation Before the Festival

"Well, Robbins, you have good taste!" After buying a lot of things, Jiang Hai got into the car and looked at Robbins-Garcia next to him, and he couldn't help but smile. , Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins-Garcia couldn't help but blush suddenly.

"Ahem, boss, things are not what you think." He stuttered a bit. Robbins-Garcia's eyes clearly contained words such as panic and dodge as he looked at him. , Jiang Hai also laughed.

"Since you have taken a fancy to it, then go for it boldly. Your current income is much more than that of white-collar workers and gold-collar workers. Your income of more than one million yuan a year will only be higher next year. You have What are you worried about?" Looking at Robbins-Garcia in front of him, Jiang Hai patted him on the shoulder and spoke with a smile. When he heard Jiang Hai's words, he seemed to be worried about Robbins-Garcia. Confidence, he grinned and did not refute it. It seems that a person's courage and money are directly proportional.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your pocket, you won't panic. Now is not the time to save food, but having cash in your pocket is the most important thing.

The three of them returned home with a smile, and then each carried their belongings over. At the same time, they made an appointment that after lunch, they could go to the forest to cut down trees. As for the turkey, the day before Christmas, Or you can kill them on the same day.

Perhaps because there are no natural enemies, the largest carnivore in the entire forest is the mountain lion.

Mountain lions are also called American golden cats. Although Jiang Hai's mountain lion is now much larger than before, at least more than twice as big, and seems to be larger than a real lion, it is still a mountain lion. Rather than some extinct North American lion.

Although the mountain lion is called a lion, its temperament is different from that of a lion. Instead, it looks more like a tiger. This kind of animal does not live in groups. It basically lives in the wild. There are only two weeks of estrus in a year. , they will get into pairs, and they will go their separate ways at other times. And this North American lion, after giving birth to a cub, for some reason, did not leave here last year, or was pregnant or something like that. But after the little lion grew up, he was driven out of his own territory, and he stayed in the forest. He was the only one eating big meals every day. How much could he eat?

Although wild turkeys are not as big as domestic turkeys, they weigh only fifteen kilograms each, and they lay 8-15 eggs once a month. They hatch for 28 days. After the chicks are born, they can continue to lay eggs. .

And the most important thing is that turkeys are very powerful. They can reproduce parthenogenously. After the hen lays the eggs, the rooster will not collect the eggs. It can also hatch the chicks, but the chicks born are all female. , but even this one is very powerful!

This made Jiang Hai feel as if he had a vision of a daughter's country.

There are probably more than 200 wild turkeys in Jiang Hai's forest. After all, this forest is not small, and now according to Robbins-Garcia's estimate, there must be more than 500 turkeys in it. , because there are only three animals that can threaten adult turkeys in the forest, mountain lions, pythons, crocodiles, crocodiles and pythons are cold-blooded animals. It is good to eat one a week, and they are still hibernating for half the year. In this state, even if a mountain lion eats one turkey a day, it will eat 365 turkeys a year. What's more, it can't eat one turkey a day. A thirty-pound turkey can be eaten in one day. What?

Assuming there are a hundred pairs here and ten eggs laid, 1,000 new turkeys will be hatched here every month, which is 12,000 turkeys a year, which is really too much to eat.

Fortunately, although there is no threat to adult turkeys, there are still many animals that eat eggs and young.

So when it comes to catching turkeys, you don’t have to worry, just rush there on the same day, because after you go in, you can catch them in less than half an hour.

Carrying several large bags of things, Jiang Hai returned home. Qi Jie and the others had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Jiang Hai take the things back, they happily studied them together and put them into categories. , waiting for Jiang Hai’s Christmas tree.

After having a meal at noon, around two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Hai, Robbins-Garcia, and Philemon Turner got together again, driving the F750 with a flatbed truck behind it. , Jiang Hai and the others walked towards the forest.

After all, the Christmas tree is just a meaning. You can't really cut down a particularly big tree, so basically everyone cuts the same tree, which is about two meters high. After all, where is the support frame of the house? It's impossible to hold it up, right? After picking around, there are still many trees over two meters high in Jiang Hai.

These trees were planted more than ten years ago and have never been taken care of. However, they have also maintained the best original ecological condition. Pine trees can grow between 80 and 130 centimeters a year. In winter, pine seeds fall off. After they are removed, they will be taken away and eaten by birds, squirrels, etc. Some of them will be missed and they will grow into new pine trees.

In the past three years that Jiang Hai has been here, although he has not specifically brought spiritual energy to the woods, the spiritual energy will slowly penetrate into the soil. Basically, the annual pine trees here can grow to about 150 centimeters. If this were If a scientist discovers it, he will have to cry out again, but unfortunately, this manor is full of rough guys, and no one will care.

It's like the average person raising a dog. Other people's dogs grow to 30 centimeters in one year. But if yours grows to 35 centimeters, who cares? It's not for sale. It won't be sold after it's grown...

Therefore, the pine trees Jiang Hai and the others chose were biennial ones. As for the pine trees that have grown in the past two years, there must be eight hundred if not one thousand in this forest. It is very easy to choose. From afar, Jiang Hai and the others picked out a few pine trees. Because there were many people celebrating Christmas here this year, everyone had something, and Jiang Hai was not stingy with these things.

The pine trees were cut down very quickly with a chainsaw. After Jiang Hai and the others cut down the trees, they carried them directly to the flatbed truck. After tying them up, they took them back to their homes.

The Christmas tree cannot be cut down directly and then taken home for indoor use. It also requires many steps. The first step is to remove insects, then install a base and remove excess branches and leaves, leaving only the trunk and umbrella-like branches and leaves. .

This needs to be done slowly. Jiang Hai has been doing it for two years. This is the third year. Although he is not a veteran, he still remembers the steps and so on. After being asked back, he started doing it with everyone.

It's still some time before Christmas Eve, so it doesn't matter when it arrives. There's no rush. Jiang Hai and the others take their time, so soon after dinner, Jiang Hai went back to rest. He hasn't paid off the debt yet. , today it’s Aphra, Dinah, Hilda and Becky, tomorrow it’s Sheila, Auxilia, Bridget and Janis, and then the day after tomorrow it’s back to its original state…

At least Jiang Hai won't feel a little lonely or cold in such a late night, right?

After coming back and resting for two days, Jiang Hai went to Boston because Moses Adams would be back later than them. He was also expanding his business in Los Angeles. After he came back, Jiang Hai took Lei Lisi- Carter, Wallis Shelley, Beliyak, Valentina, Galina, Ariel Sara, Azarina, and Dunin's letter of entrustment went to his Tamron company. , each of them transferred 5% of the shares, which Jiang Hai promised them.

But then they gave up the voting rights of these shares, and they only participated in dividends. In this way, this company still belongs to Jiang Hai.

Then Jiang Hai also asked Zheng Jin to help him prepare supplies. Jiang Hai had already told Talaga that he had obtained the treasure, and Talaga also called the old patriarch who was still in the village because he was afraid of the satellite. Phone calls were monitored.

So she just said that Jiang Hai had made some money recently, so if he wanted to buy things for the village, he could just tell her what the village needed. After hearing this, the old patriarch was also very pleased. It seemed that his original choice was not correct.

Then he explained to Talaga what was needed in the village now.

After Jiang Hai took the list, he also expressed that he understood very well that the things on it were probably needed in the village.

For example, there are all kinds of clothes, a lot of clothes, not only for summer, but also for winter, coal, seasonings, especially salt, medicine, trauma medicine, cold medicine, etc. If necessary, you will also need some pots, shovels and the like.

Living in the deep mountains is not as easy as imagined. Although they are just some miscellaneous things, they can also see the hardship of the tribe's survival, so Jiang Hai directly agreed to the old patriarch's request without saying anything. These things, No problem.

But it is already winter after all. If you want to send it there, you can’t pull too much directly with a helicopter. But if you go into the forest and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, there is no way to go, so Jiang Hai first prepared two million US dollars in supplies. Send it over first, and wait for the rest to start in spring. The old patriarch is very happy about this. Today Jiang Hai came to discuss the situation of supplies with Zheng Zheng.

For an ordinary person, suddenly spending two million US dollars to buy oil, salt, clothes, etc. will attract some people's attention. But when Tamron comes out to buy it, there is no such problem.

Before the festival, Jiang Hai, Bell, Maren Rupert, and Tara, who wanted to go home for a visit, got together on Jiang Hai's big helicopter and transported the first batch of goods. After arriving at the tribe, The people in the tribe were quite excited about the things Jiang Hai sent. Seeing Talaga acting like an outsider, the little girls were also quite envious, but there was no way. Who asked the tribe leader to teach them how to learn? When it came to English, was Talaga the only one who learned it? So now they can only watch! (To be continued.)
