Text Chapter 28 Alpaca

Grass, seeing his expression, Zhou Jiexi came to his senses, "This thing is not a mud horse. No, it's a mud horse, oops, it's a bit confusing." But this is just a joke given to the "myth" by the Chinese government. .

However, based on this, the merchants hastily produced "grass mud horse" dolls and sold them on the Internet. Moreover, biologists have verified that there is no such thing as a "grass mud horse"; scholars have also verified that the "fucking mud horse" has a historical source. It's so confusing... It's just so helpless,

Later, there was "The Song of the Grass Mud Horse" produced by netizens. The song was sung by children's chorus, and it also became popular, which added fuel to the fire, but in essence it is, Atwood's alpaca.

"Hehe" Zhou Jiexi smiled, and said to Atwood in English, "That is indeed the name we use for it on the Internet. And it is still a very powerful 'attack power' in our Internet 'legends' The 'divine beast'." Zhou Jiexi said.

"It will spit on the boss, this is it? 'Divine Beast'" Atwood felt strange, and the cultural gap was too strange.

"Hehe, don't worry about it, it's just a joke in our place." Zhou Jiexi waved his hand and explained to Atwood.

"How many of these alpacas do we have?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"This kind of llama is Huacaya alpaca. There are only a dozen of them in our ranch, and they are mixed with sheep." However, we have more than a hundred Suri alpacas, which are more valuable. "Atwood said to Jessie Zhou.

"Su Li Alpaca? What's the difference with this one? It's more valuable?" Zhou Jiexi asked with a puzzled face.

"Boss, this Suli alpaca stands out among the alpacas because of its unique wool fiber characteristics. Suli alpaca's long hair is in strands. The high-quality Suri wool has a strong luster. It will glisten in the sun and feel like silk." Atwood paused, looking at Jessie Zhou.

Zhou Jiexi nodded to show that he heard it, and then told him to continue.

"The biggest difference between Huacayao and Suri alpaca is that Suri alpaca fiber contains very little pith, so it feels better and has higher gloss. The fiber tissue does not contain scales, which is more It is suitable for the processing of worsted fabrics."

"Because of its unique wool fiber characteristics, Suri alpaca is outstanding among alpacas. It has attracted the attention of the world's fashion industry and is favored by hand-knitting. Its wool is as soft as cashmere and glossy as silk. , extremely warm, durable, suitable for dyeing a variety of colors. Suri alpaca can be used for high-end men's and women's fashion, such as high-end clothing, outerwear, sweatshirts and exhibitions, as well as professional inner fabrics and textile."

"The most important thing is that Suri alpacas are quite rare in the world, and the white species is even rarer. There are only more than 100,000 heads in the world, while there are less than 2,000 in the United States, 500 in Australia, and less than 30 in New Zealand." Atwood said in one breath It's over.

"So few, how many of these sheep do we have?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"At the beginning, Mrs. Chen liked this kind of sheep very much, so we raised some sheep, and now we have grown to more than 100 sheep. We have detailed records in documents. And now, we are the only one in California that owns this kind of sheep. There are more farms with sheep. This can be regarded as a windfall." Atwood also said excitedly.

For rare things, everyone wants to have it. But if you own it, others don't, what a refreshing state of mind you will have. So the old cowboy was also very excited.

"Hehe, that's really good." Zhou Jiexi also expressed his joy. "Let's go, we have wasted a lot of time, now go and see our 'gold'."

'Okay, boss. "

The two drove in the direction of Heniupen, and there was also an empty and beautiful grassland scenery along the way.

The buildings on the distant horizon gradually appeared in front of my eyes. "Is that where Wagyu live? It's so normal." Zhou Jiexi asked Atwood, this is completely different from Zhou Jiexi's imagination.

In Zhou Jiexi's imagination, this should be a very sci-fi building, full of fashion and sci-fi feeling, after all, it raises such an expensive cow. This, the style is too common. Jessie Zhou was a little disappointed looking at this bullpen.

Atwood heard the disappointment in Zhou Jiexi's tone, and couldn't help but smile. He was a little helpless when dealing with this kind of boss who was not a cowboy. Who would go to see which bullpen is good? Only a layman would think about such a boring question, but unfortunately there is no way, who calls him the boss.

"Boss, don't look at its simple appearance. In fact, this building has not simple settings." Atwood explained.

"Boss, look, the roof of this cattle pen is a single slope, with high south eaves and low north eaves. Why is the roof on the south side higher?" Atwood asked a question, but he didn't ask Jessie Zhou to answer. the meaning of. It's just this kind of interaction that can make people focus more on you. This is the ability of leaders that Atwood learned from books when he was a farm manager. Now I use it unconsciously, and I just get used to it.

Then Atwood started, asking himself and answering, "In this way, the sun in winter can be sufficient and the cattle bed can be kept dry. Generally speaking, the ideal height is 3.5 to 5 times the height of the cattle."

"Boss, look, the height here is seven meters. Our wagyu beef is about 1.2 meters, so the ideal height is 6 meters. The eaves on the north side are slightly lower in order to prevent the cold from the north wind in winter. Whether it is cold-proof or not has a lot to do with growth, and the difference is between 5% and 8%. Therefore, the ideal height of the eaves on the north side is 2.5-2.8 meters. Although we don’t have such a cold season here, it is also a precautionary measure. of."

Zhou Jiexi nodded to express his understanding with an "en".

Speaking of which, the two had already walked inside, and after greeting the cowboys who took care of the cows, the two continued to visit.

Because Zhou Jiexi felt thirsty, he asked a cowboy to take a bottle of beer, and he didn't mind that it was a Wagyu meal. Open it and drink it. "Well, it's not bad, this beer." Zhou Jiexi looked surprised.

"Of course, boss. This is a beer we have selected according to the recipe. It has a high taste and nutritional value." Atwood said.

The building material of the cattle pen is concrete pouring, the roof truss is welded by channel steel, and the roof is covered with cement tiles. The ground should be flat and slightly inclined, generally 1 to 3 degrees, mainly for the convenience of cleaning. Remove them in time, and the fences of the pens are welded with iron pipes.

Zhou Jiexi nodded all the way, expressing his approval for the work of Comrade Atwood. "Sure enough, it's really not what it looks like. It really blinded my titanium eyes. Nima's, there are also central air conditioning, temperature control systems, and air quality monitoring systems. Look at how comfortable and how comfortable this life is. It's comfortable." Zhou Jiexi couldn't help feeling emotional.
