Chapter 211 205. Happy Beast (35)
Drink coffee beer, eat purple sweet potato coconut duck and spicy roast duck.
Kulau’s ducks are famous all over Oceania. A quarter of New Zealand’s ducks are produced here, mainly landlubbers. Pharaoh kept amused when he ate them: he is actually a landlubber, even though he is I grew up in a seaside fishing village.
The spicy roast duck is not bad. It is a method invented by Chinese chefs. It is eaten with Chinese cabbage and lemon juice. The fat of the duck itself is roasted. If you add lemon juice, it will not feel greasy.
Eating roast duck, Motak said with emotion: "Eating this should go with the ocean, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and tasting delicious dark beer, ah, that's so beautiful."
Lao Wang blinked, he didn't understand what eating a roast duck has to do with the ocean, it's not eating seafood.
Eat and drink enough, start working, the auction will start tomorrow, and today is the day when the auction participants gather. New Zealand is a small country, and the ranchers have heard of each other even if they don’t know each other, so there are many parties.
Wang Bo is one of them. After Motak took him to meet a few people, they heard that the alpaca was here, so they rushed to the temporary pasture outside the city to watch.
The rancher arranged for cowboys and friends to help with the reception. After Wang Bo walked in, there was a peculiar smell unique to livestock, and then a herd of alpacas appeared.
The adult alpacas are about one meter tall at the shoulder, and their body length is close to two meters. Because of the season, their fur is now the longest in the year, reaching half a meter. The curly fluff is very fluffy, making them look round Yes, it's really cute.
When they came to the new environment, the alpacas stretched their long necks and looked outside in a daze. When someone approached, they screamed and ran back.
Seeing this scene, Pharaoh felt a little distressed: "Fuck, how can such a cute thing be eaten?"
"It's really delicious, I've eaten it." Motak smacked his mouth, and seemed to be reminiscing.
Although he has eaten it, he has never raised alpacas, so he doesn't know much about it. He asked later: "Are you sure you raise these things? They are not easy to raise, and they may not make money."
Wang Bo smiled and said, "Give it a try. My pasture still has a lot of open space. Wouldn't it be a good thing if it could be raised well?"
Bowen, who followed, had seen alpacas in Texas, and he knew more about them. He introduced: "The alpacas raised here are mainly Huacaya alpacas. I heard that there are Suri alpacas in New Zealand, but the number is very small. Few, we probably won’t have the chance to see them.”
A young man dressed in cowboy approached and asked, "Hey guys, are you interested in my alpacas?"
Motak went up to chat with him, while Wang Bo was curious to watch these legendary beasts in China, the great grass mud horses.
Alpacas are very docile animals. They are timid. If people feed them, they must wait until they leave before eating, even if they are very familiar with their owners.
However, when a yellow-haired grass mud horse saw Wang Bo approaching the fence, it walked over and stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, like a curious baby.
Lao Wang stretched out his hand to stroke it, but the grass-mud horse didn't dodge, but looked at him with big eyes blinking, and grinned back, showing a smiley expression, like a happy animal.
Seeing this, Bowen laughed and said, "Boss, it likes you."
Wang Bo asked the cowboy in charge of the alpaca: "Man, is it on sale now? Can I ask how much this alpaca is?"
The cowboy came over, with a look of sadness on his face, and said, "You want to buy an alpaca? You can pick any other alpaca, but this one doesn't work. Unfortunately, it's not for sale."
"why?"
The cowboy said leisurely: "You know, friend, the alpaca is a kind of creature that is very afraid of loneliness. They are rare animals that will suffer from depression and eventually die because of loneliness, so when we sell them, we have to pair them up. Sell them, just to keep them from being so lonely."
After speaking, he paused, and the sad expression on his face became more serious: "This alpaca cannot be sold alone, its friend died not long ago, if it is sold to you, it will harm both the alpaca and you. "
Old Wang understood, and the handsome Mexican said: "My God, the alpaca is close to us because it is too lonely, isn't it?"
"I'm so sorry."
Mortak said: "But it doesn't matter, Wang, aren't you going to buy a herd of alpacas? Then it won't be lonely."
The young cowboy looked at Lao Wang in astonishment: "You want to buy a group of alpacas? Not one or two?"
Old Wang nodded.
The young cowboy suddenly laughed enthusiastically: "Hey, buddy, I misunderstood, you can buy it with confidence, choose whatever you want, this one can also be sold to you."
The Mexican handsome boy asked emotionally: "Is it because it has a companion, so it won't be lonely anymore?"
A white man with a big belly came over and laughed: "Are you telling a story? You can't even tell? He is obviously trying to trick you into buying more alpacas in pairs."
The young cowboy smiled awkwardly and said, "Pang Geer, you are so good at joking, are you here too?"
The big-bellied white man snorted, "Of course, I came here specifically to buy alpacas this time. These alpacas will definitely belong to me in the end!"
Wang Bo secretly thought, who is this? Why doesn't he fly into the sky on a North Korean cannon if he is so awesome?
He looked at the young cowboy, who misunderstood him, thinking that he was pursuing his previous trick, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, sir, the alpaca is really afraid of being alone, and one alpaca cannot be kept alive."
"I'm going to buy hundreds of them." Lao Wang said angrily. He was quite ashamed to say it, but he was bullied by this young man.
"Then you have to wait until tomorrow. Today we don't sell them in batches, we can only sell them individually. I thought you were going to buy one or two." The young cowboy smiled awkwardly.
The auction will start tomorrow, and it can also be traded today, but generally in small batches.
This is due to price considerations. The selling price of large batches of livestock is usually relatively low, that is, the wholesale price. It is not appropriate to sell them now-the freight for transporting them all the way is already astronomical. If they are sold at the wholesale price, they will lose money. of.
When someone raises the price at the auction, it can be sold at a high price. The selling price of a single unit is relatively high, and it can be sold at any time. Of course, ranchers would be willing to sell now if someone was willing to buy them in bulk at single-unit prices.
Wang Bo patted the head of the happy alpaca and said, "Keep this one for me, and I will definitely take it away tomorrow, okay?"
The fat white man next to Geer looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "How much is this alpaca? I want to buy it."
The young cowboy was taken aback, and Wang Bo was also taken aback. What does this mean? Are you deliberately bullying me, Old Wang?
