655 640. Frozen Ranch (1/5)
Chapter 655 640. Frozen Ranch (15)
New Zealand has been extremely cold this winter.
In the evening, Wang Bo cut the prepared tofu into pieces and brought them to the balcony of the kitchen. After a while, the tofu became hard, so he picked up a piece and tried it in his mouth. It was as strong as frozen tofu. up.
The fat cat brothers were so greedy, they saw Lao Wang biting a piece of frozen tofu, ran over on their short legs, each picked up a piece of frozen tofu and ran away.
After running a few meters, they turned around and looked at Lao Wang vigilantly. Seeing that he was not chasing him, they stopped to eat frozen tofu in peace.
As a result, after taking a bite, Big Fatty immediately ran back with the frozen tofu in his mouth, put it down obediently, and then spit out the remaining tofu scum in his mouth: What the hell is this, I don’t want to eat it!
Old Wang laughed out loud, making you hungry.
After laughing twice, he couldn't laugh anymore, Er Pang ate all the frozen tofu in a daze, and it was clean!
Eva and Little Lolita are still sleeping in the school, the punishment for Little Lolita is one week, and she is not allowed to return to the castle within this week, but Eva will accompany her in bed.
Wang Bo was about to go back to sleep, but the little white cow stood alone at the door and looked at him timidly. His eyes made people think of orphans, very pitiful.
It was unlucky with Little Lolita. In order to punish the latter, Eva forbade her to see all pets including the little white cow this week. For this reason, the little loli wailed and resisted many times, but the resistance was ineffective. Eva is really a sister.
Lao Wang went over to comb the cow fur, patted its strong little head and said, "Don't worry, that troublemaker in your family has not disappeared, she is alive and well now, and she eats deliciously. I guess it will be gone again in the past few days." If you gain two catties, you can wait for yourself first, okay?"
The little white cow didn't have the heart to be a cute pet, so it was very stupid, but this time it seemed to understand what the old man said, raised its head and mooed a few times, and slowly returned to the heart of the nest, lying there and staring at it. Focus on the door.
At night, Lao Wang lay down and had a good dream, and then another heavy snow hit the whole of New Zealand.
Now the ranchers don't have to be happy about the abundance of water. The middle and late July is the coldest time in New Zealand, and the snow will freeze shortly after it falls, turning into serious snow and ice.
At such temperatures, pastures can easily freeze to death.
So after dawn, looking at the whiteness outside, Lao Wang wailed and punched Xiao Wang beside him, and shouted: "Damn, it's time to sweep the snow again!"
The liger is strong, and after being punched, it didn't shake its figure. It just grinned aggrievedly, and ran away unhappy: I don't know how I offended you, why did you hit me when I disagreed?
When they arrived at the ranch, the cowboys looked dignified. After seeing Wang Bo, Cousins came up and said, "Boss, it's a little too cold. We picked up two dead hens this morning, frozen to death."
This is the first non-combat loss of staff on the ranch. In the past, whether it was livestock or poultry, the cause of death was either fighting with each other, or they were killed by the city gate fire and the pond fish.
The heart of the second-level pasture is powerful, supporting poultry and livestock to be full of vitality. In this case, they are very resistant to cold and heat. There have been no animals that were killed by heat or freezing before.
Wang Bo looked at the two fat chickens that were cold and hard on the ground, and sighed: "The temperature is abnormally low today, and low temperature warnings have been issued in many places. What can you do?"
He doesn't pay the cowboys for nothing, and the cowboys have to solve problems for him.
"It is too late to build a shed now, and there is no need for that. According to the past, as long as the temperature does not change extremes, open-air farming is reliable."
"So, we might as well buy some warm dry grass and set up a hatching nest. Don't worry about the long hair of cattle and sheep, so as long as chickens, ducks, geese and the like can keep warm and not die."
Looking around, Wang Bo saw that the livestock and poultry were being honest, and they all got together to keep warm.
It may be because of the heart of the ranch. They are like someone directing them. The cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks gather together. With the cattle, sheep and deer as the backbone, the chickens, ducks and geese fill the gaps and make the most of the heat emitted by each other.
The only exception is the yaks. The white yaks are self-contained. Such a temperature is a piece of cake for them. From time to time, they walk past the huddled herd with contemptuous eyes: a group of scum.
So the soldiers split into two groups, Peterson went to make a phone call to contact the dry fine grass, while Cousins and others drove a snow plow to clear the snow on the pasture.
"Is the snow still piled up where it was last time?"
Wang Bo shrugged: "Is there any more suitable place besides there? Just go there. Now I can create a ski resort."
Having fun while suffering, a group of people took off their cotton clothes and started working.
Xiao Wang and the strong man were running and playing in the snow, and a wild boar came out trembling after a while, Xiao Wang was startled, it approached the wild boar quietly from behind, opened its mouth and bit the wild boar's neck.
The wild boar was too cold to run, so it gave in to its fate with a howl, stretched its limbs, and let Xiao Wang drag it around in the snow.
Wang Bo swept the snow and saw a nest of eggs. He tried it after he got it. The temperature was frighteningly cold. These eggs were useless and could never hatch. He also suffered a lot this winter.
Compared with other pastures, his loss is small.
Peterson, who ordered dry fine grass, came back later and sighed: "Xue Te, the price of fine grass has risen sharply. It used to cost less than 80 yuan per ton, but now it costs 150 yuan!"
Wang Bodao: "If I knew we would get some fine grass to plant, I might be able to sell it for some money."
Peterson shook his head and said: "Then you have to build a special pasture, and the reason why the price of fine grass in the pasture has increased is not only because of the high demand now, but also because of the lack of water in summer, and the growth of the grass this year is very poor. Most likely lose money too.”
Motak, a Maori rancher, called him later and asked, "Wang, how is the situation there?"
"It's terrible, frozen to death several chickens and many eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs and the like. Damn the weather, when will it get warmer?"
Mortak wailed: "Kill you, you show off dog! Two of my cows froze to death, both with their calves! The number of froze-dead sheep was even greater, and I didn't even dare to count them, but you only froze to death How many chickens and ducks are there?"
Wang Bo laughed dryly: "Of course the cattle and sheep also froze to death, I just didn't mention it."
New Zealand has strict food safety and sanitation controls. This kind of unnaturally dead livestock cannot enter people's dining tables, so they can only be dug and buried. The ranchers have suffered a lot.
Peterson said: "Boss, we have to increase the amount of breeding in spring. Looking at it now, the price of New Zealand beef and mutton will definitely increase next year."
Old Wang waved the broom like an electric fan, and said, "You make a plan, and I'll just pay."
It’s shameful to think that a dead fellow is not a poor one, but it’s the truth. Old Wang was in a bad mood at first, but when he learned that other pastures suffered even more losses than himself, his mood suddenly improved a lot...
