The Best Small Farm

When Li Han returned to George's Farm, Hughton came to see him for something, so Li Han asked Hughton to come in and sit down. "Xiu Dun, sit down first, have a cup of coffee, and I'll wash my face." Li Han washed his face, went to the bedroom to look, Dudu this little guy really fell asleep, the little guy didn't know where to play all morning, I was probably tired and slept soundly. Li Han walked over and took off the pacifier in his mouth, and pulled the towel to cover his stomach. His belly was exposed, so he was not afraid of freezing.

Back in the living room, Li Han poured himself a cup of coffee and asked Hugh. "Hughton, what's the matter?" "Han, I think we can go to the auction house to buy some sheep now. Today is the day for the sheep auction." Hughton put down his coffee cup and said.

"What a coincidence, let's go now." Li Han got up and drove the pickup truck to the auction site together with Hughton. Kemixing town is mostly a mixture of farms and pastures, and the flat land is mostly planted with crops. The hillside and some soils are different. It is a very good place to plant fruit trees or pastures. Most of the breeding is sheep, less cattle, and less horses. The main trading place is the sheep trading auction and bull market near the town, and the horses are mostly auctioned in the bull market.

The auction house is built on the left side of a street. From the outside, it is also a modernist style. It is a two-storey building with the words "PRODUCERS" on it. Entering through the front door, as soon as you go up the stairs, you can see flocks of sheep imprisoned in more than a dozen fences, bleating endlessly. Each fence has a number written on it. Hughton is more familiar with this place and led Li Han to find Ben at the sheep auction house. Ben is an old cowboy in the auction house. The two went to the auction house.

As soon as I entered, I immediately felt a strong business atmosphere. Just like what I saw in the movie, dozens of people sat quietly on the semicircular steps, listening to the seller's quotations on the stage with concentration and serious faces. Most people in the west wear a cowboy hat with a raised brim, and a pair of high-waisted cowboy boots under their skinny jeans, looking very energetic.

There are three people on the stage, one quotes and two records. The mouth of the quotation is like a cannonball, quoting a series of prices. Its speed is as fast as pouring beans in a bamboo bucket, laymen can't hear the sentence breaks, and can't see what information is exchanged on and off the stage. But in fact, everyone in the audience is listening to the price changes very attentively, staring intently at the sheep passing by on the stage. Every slight nod, shake of the head, raise of hand, and crooked fingers are all conveying information. Obviously, there is a lot of knowledge in it. Although Li Han has been in Kemixing Town for a few years, the number of times he has been here can be counted on the fingers, and he is considered an outsider. , can only watch the excitement.

People quote on the stage, and sheep also enter the market at the same time for people's reference. There is a sheepfold on the left and right sides of the platform. The sheep come out of the left pen, pass the platform, and then enter the right pen (it seems to be weighed on the right). Next to the left and right circles, there is a goat with high intelligence as a guide sheep, leading in and out.

Hughton was more familiar with these, talking to Ben while paying attention to the quotations on the stage and driving past the sheep. "Hughton, I want to hear your idea." After listening for a while, Li Han didn't quite understand and asked Hughton.

"Han, Ben just introduced that buying lambs is cheap, but it's not suitable for George's farm. We need some half-sized lambs and a few good head sheep, a small number of lambs, so that we can deal with wild beast raids." Hughton whispered to Li Han Said, this is considered a sheep economy, some words are not convenient for Ben to hear.

"Hughton, you're right. We'll do as you said." Li Han felt that this was a good idea. Maybe it would be more cost-effective to buy lambs for breeding, but Li Han did this to deal with the bad effects of the changes in the pasture next door. And the threat of weeds, half-sized sheep are very suitable.

Hughton talked to Ben, and Ben nodded. "Han, I think there must be something you need here, this way please.

"The quotations on the stage were still going on, and the ability led Li Han and Hughton to a sheepfold, Ben introduced.

"This is a batch of lambs left over from a bankrupt farm. Most of them are half-big lambs weighing more than 30 pounds, some are less than ten pounds, and there are more than ten good ewes." Ben pointed to a sheepfold with more than one hundred lambs Said.

Hugh went down to the sheep pen to check, and nodded at Ben. "Yes, old chap, Han, these sheep are healthy."

"Hughton, you decide these things. My check is ready." Li Han felt very satisfied, especially the fluffy little lamb is very cute, and Dudu will definitely like it. I think the baby is the same as Dudu.

"Thank you, Hughton, and Han." Ben was very happy. He gave Hughton a hug, turned around and shook Li Han's hand to express his thanks, and the deal was finalized. Ben and Hughton went to the auction table to go through the formalities. , Ben helped to find a cart, opened the sheepfold and drove the sheep into the cart, with Li Han and Hughton helping. "Thank you, old man. Maybe I'll come over soon." Hughton said with a smile. Li Han's farm has good grass, and maybe he can buy some lambs.

"You're welcome, my friend, and I'll serve you good beer and lamb chops." Ben made a good deal, made some money, and was in a good mood. "I liked your lamb chops, Ben, bye."

"Goodbye, Hughton, goodbye Hank." Ben sent Li Han and Hughton out of the auction house. Li Han and Hughton drove a pickup truck to lead the way in front of the trailer. The car arrived at George's Farm in 40 to 50 minutes, and the sheep drove off. Dinah and Hughton drove the sheep to the barn, locked them up, moved some fodder, added some drinking water, and pushed some feed with a small cart. Li Han stood by the side to help fill the water tank, try Tested the temperature, it was ok.

"Dinah, I'm fine here alone." Hughton said to Dinah, the cattle need someone to take care of them. "Dinah, I will help Hughton." Li Han has a lot of strength, as long as he checks and disinfects, there is not much to do.

Hughton needs experience. After the inspection, he was very excited. Half of the more than ten ewes are pregnant, which is really good news. "Han, I'm fine here alone." "Okay, Hugh, I've prepared dinner meat and vegetables, and I'll send them to you later. I'm going back to the small farm at night."

"No problem, Han, I will take good care of this place, by the way, Han, I want to buy some good shepherd dogs tomorrow." Hughton said.

"Of course, I think I should buy a few more, and I'll write you a check." Li Han likes raising dogs very much. At home, Millie is Li Han's favorite. Now she is too young to follow Li Han. grazing.

"Thank you, Han, I will do it." Hughton was very happy. Li Han is a good boss. Li Han and Hughton said a few words and left. The vegetables and beef were delivered. Li Han drove a pickup truck with Dudu and Xiaomi , Niu Niu Xiaobai returned to the small farm.

The rooms in the small farm were redecorated, new curtains were hung, and new sheets were laid on the beds. They were neat and tidy. Li Han took Xiao Dudu to check the rooms one by one. "Dudu, is this place beautiful?"

"Yeah." The small room is decorated for the baby, it's very cute, and Little Dudu likes it very much.

"Dudu, will you live here with baby sister tomorrow?"

"Hmm." Dudu nodded happily.

"Let's go, let's go to grandma's room. Grandma likes flowers and plants. Let's dig some flowers and put them in flower pots." Li Han took Dudu's hand and went to the larger bedroom on the second floor to decorate the floor. Li Han took Waxed one by one with a toot.

After walking around the entire small building, the father and daughter took a small flower pot and a small shovel to the small flower garden in the backyard. The room was less angry, and Li Han planned to decorate it with some good flowers and plants. Dudu came to help his father, pouted his little butt, and used a small shovel to dig out a big flower seedling and put it in a small flower pot, then dug some soil and put it in, patted it with the small shovel, and nodded his head with satisfaction.
