My Age of Investment

night.

—————

The Yang Niu family slaughtered a sheep to entertain Xia Jingxing and the dog.

Yang Niu's father, little Walsh was busy on the grass at the entrance of the yard, constantly turning the grill, rolling the yellow roasted lamb, and at the same time brushing the body of the sheep with various seasonings.

In the yard, the fragrance is overflowing.

Yang Niu's grandfather, old Walsh and Xia Jingxing sat at a long table chatting.

"The Chinese are very brave, and I witnessed it myself on the battlefield more than 50 years ago."

A look of solemnity flashed in Old Walsh's cloudy eyes, "In the winter of minus 40 degrees in North Korea, they wore thin cotton-padded clothes, blew charge horns, and attacked us in groups of three..."

Xia Jingxing didn't interrupt much, just sat there and listened quietly.

When he was a child, he heard his grandfather tell many stories about the volunteer army fighting, and he felt very brave and fearless.

In Walsh's mouth, the same is true of the volunteer army, but it is more serious and cruel.

"We retreated in a car at the time. There were volunteers everywhere. They ran after us with guns and two legs."

Old Walsh spread his hands, "If they were mechanized troops, maybe I and hundreds of thousands of other people would have gone to see God long ago.

Volunteers are not afraid of death, and our superiors also asked us to do the same.

But most of us thought we could go home after a year there.

In America, it's a forgotten war. "

Old Walsh looked at Xia Jingxing and asked, "Do you know why it was forgotten?"

"Because the Americans have exhausted everything except dropping the nuclear bomb, and they just can't win this war."

Old Walsh nodded, "Yes, this is the first foreign war the United States has lost.

This war was also carried on for nothing, wasting the lives of tens of thousands of great boys. "

"My grandfather was in this war too!"

Old Walsh suddenly became interested and asked, "Is he in good health?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Old Walsh who was holding crutches, "He doesn't need crutches, and he has to work in the fields every day."

"Do you also have a farm at home?"

Old Walsh continued to question.

"Yes, 0.5 acres (3 acres)."

Old Walsh thought he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "A half-acre farm?"

Xia Jingxing nodded solemnly, "Yes, enough for the family to eat."

Old Walsh couldn't understand, "Isn't China's government and political program to give land to the poor?"

"Yes, it's divided, it turned out that there was not even 0.01 acres of land, all of which were employed by the farmer (landlord), or rented the farmer's land.

When the harvest is not good, the farmer also lends usury to these workers or renters.

In this way, the debt swelled like a snowball, and it was not over until several generations, and the ancestors had to work for the farmer for generations. This is the original old China. "

Old Walsh nodded,

"I finally understand why the Volunteer Army's combat effectiveness is so strong. They support this country from the bottom of their hearts."

The little dog glanced at it not far away, not understanding why Mr. Walsh liked to chat with the boss so much.

He had just gotten close, but old Walsh ignored him.

"How is China developing now?"

Old Walsh recalled the past for a while, and began to pay attention to the current situation in China.

"The development is very fast, which can be described as rapid change. Many low-end manufacturing industries in the world are migrating to the past because of low labor costs."

Old Walsh said with a smile, "Is that so? In the past, I remembered that China was a purely agricultural country, and its industrial strength was so weak that it could be ignored.

In my lifetime, I really hope to visit China. "

"I think you are in good health now. If you want to go, hurry up. In a few years, maybe you will be pushed away."

Old Walsh didn't mind Xia Jingxing's straightforwardness at all, he laughed, "You're right, it seems that I have to arrange a trip to China."

after a little while.

Yang Niu's grandmother and mother came out of the villa with cutlery and plates and began to place them on the long table outside the yard.

Old Walsh said to the old silver-haired lady who was putting the plates and cutlery next to her: "Dear Kayla, the children are grown up now, and I think we should go out for a walk, just you and me, like a young married honeymoon. .

Let's go to China as the first stop to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the capital. What do you think? "

The old lady Kayla, who is also the grandmother of Yang Niu, said, "I persuaded you a long time ago, but now you finally figured it out?"

"Darren, did you persuade old Mr. Walsh?"

Yang Niu's mother looked at Xia Jingxing.

Americans call their parents-in-law by their first names, and Xia Jingxing didn't make a fuss.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Yes, Ms. Caitlin, I suggest Mr. Walsh to travel more while he is still young, so as not to leave regrets in life."

Caitlin is the mother of a foreign girl, a black-haired and white woman in her forties, who has given birth to three children. She is tall and not very out of shape, and she can vaguely see that she was a beauty when she was young.

"I think you're right!"

Caitlin picked up the fat girl Jessica, "If I hadn't had to take care of this little guy, I would have wanted to go on vacation with Walsh.

If you've lived on a ranch for over twenty years, I'm sure you'll be as bored as I am. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, "Yes, one's life can't be all about work, one must live for others, and one has to enjoy one's own life."

Caitlin smiled, "It seems Darren, you have more interest in life than many Asians. I have contacted a few Asians, all thinking about making money and taking care of the family."

Xia Jingxing laughed, the cultural difference was really hard to answer.

The roasted whole lamb was finally served. Little Walsh took a knife and skillfully divided the food, filling everyone's plate with a large piece.

Everyone sat at the table, drinking wine and beverages, and tasting this roast whole lamb.

Xia Jingxing felt that the taste was very good, and he could see that Little Walsh made this dish a lot.

It's normal to think about it, as a rancher, isn't it a basic operation to roast two sheep every three days?

After a full meal, Xia Jingxing and the dog stayed in Yang Niu's guest room.

…………

…………

the next day.

Yang Niu brought Xia Jingxing and the puppy to the family's horse farm.

There are not many horses, only a dozen in total.

Yang Niu introduced to Xia Jingxing and Little Dog that their pasture was mainly for cattle and sheep.

Raising horses is purely a hobby, not for making money.

Jessica, this little fat girl, was wearing a full set of harnesses and led a foal that was not much taller than her, walking slowly on the horse farm.

"Even she has a horse to ride?"

The puppy pointed at the fat girl, and felt that the life at Yang Niu's house was too extravagant, which made people envious!

Yang Niu smiled and said, "Horse is not expensive, you can buy one for two or three thousand dollars, mainly because the cost of raising a horse is very high.

Almost every member of our family owns a horse, which is usually taken care of by my father, and we occasionally come to the horse farm for a ride on weekends. "

Yang Niu chose a horse for Xia Jingxing and Puppy, and then the three of them rode their horses and began to cruise Yang Niu's pasture.

Neither Xia Jingxing nor the dog could ride a horse, for fear that the horse would suddenly go crazy and gallop.

They didn't dare to urge the horses, so they could only let the horses wander slowly in the pasture.

Walking on horseback, the three approached the grazing area.

Hundreds of beef cattle, dairy cattle, white, brown, and various colors of cattle are scattered on the grassland, surrounded by wooden fences to prevent the cattle from running away.

After approaching the cattle on horseback, the puppy suddenly shouted, "Christina, something is wrong with your cattle."

Yang Niu puzzled: "What's the problem?"

The puppy pointed at the cow and said anxiously, "Look, why are there big holes in the backs of all these cows? Who did it? The cows definitely won't survive."

Xia Jingxing also noticed that there were two palm-sized holes on the left side of the cow's stomach.

And it's not just one cow, every cow has a big hole on its back, which looks weird and infiltrating.

He carefully observed that there was no blood on the cow, nor did he see anything unusual in the cow. It should not be a hole that was recently opened.

What's the situation?

With doubts, Xia Jingxing also turned to look at Yang Niu.

Yang Niu patted her forehead. She listened to the puppy yelling and thought that something big happened, but it turned out to be this!

She explained to the two, "This hole is to better protect the cow, and the operation performed by the workers on the cow is called fenestration.

Because cows have four stomachs, they are rumen, honeycomb stomach, double stomach and abomasum.

The first three stomachs are all esophagus-mutated stomachs, and the last abomasum is the cow's original stomach.

This hole is opened in the rumen. The rumen is the first stomach of a cow, and it is also the one with the heaviest burden. All plant fibers and messy things are digested by this stomach.

Because of this, cattle are also prone to problems with their rumen.

Even the best veterinarian can't do anything about a cow's stomach.

Therefore, in order to detect and treat problems in the cow's rumen in time, the workers will cut a hole in the position of the cow's rumen.

In this way, in addition to the convenient and timely removal of some undigested food in the rumen, the drug can also be directly applied to the stomach, which can greatly reduce the mortality of cattle.

In the United States, it is very normal to make holes in the back of cattle, and basically all breeding farms do this. "

Yang Niu pointed to the hole on the cow's back and said, "Have you seen it, the hole is surrounded by medical silicone, and there is a piece of transparent glass on the hole.

This piece of glass can be taken down at any time. In addition to observing the digestion of the cattle, the workers can also put their hands in to help the cattle dig their stomachs…”

"Don't cows hurt?"

The puppy frowned, thinking it was too cruel.

Yang Niu spread her hands and said, "When the hole is opened, anesthesia will be given, and if it still hurts after that, I don't know, it probably won't hurt, or the cow won't go crazy.

In the past, cows ate grass. Now, in order to save the cost of breeding, they have started to feed corn, or even cheaper genetically modified corn.

These foods are not as digestible as grass, and cattle often have problems. "

Xia Jingxing was convinced that American capitalists were so arrogant that they even exploited cattle.

"Is it still possible to pass this hole and throw something fat for the cow?"

Xia Jingxing winked at Yang Niu, through this hole, he thought a lot.

Yang Niu blinked, but said nothing.

Xia Jingxing instantly understood that he was an old capitalist.

"Mr. Walsh is very good. He can do business like this."

Xia Jingxing felt that it was not easy to open a ranch. He thought about every idea and tried every means to save costs and expand profits.

"Why is this cow wearing an orange plastic card on its ear?"

Like a curious baby, the puppy began to ask again.

Yang Niu replied: "This is the cow's ID card, which contains the cow's birth date, kinship and serial number and other information. This information will also be backed up on the computer and can be checked at any time."

The puppy nodded, "Oh, it's also a technology ranch, amazing!"

Sudden!

A well-built bull went berserk and rammed wildly against the wooden fence.

This sudden situation shocked the three of them.

After three or two clicks, the wooden fence was knocked open, and the cow ran wildly!

"Christina, what should I do? Your cow ran away."

The puppy pointed in the direction the cow was running, and was a little worried for the foreign girl.

Yang Niu nodded with a calm face. Instead of chasing the cow, she took out her mobile phone and called her father.

"Dad, there is a cow hair / love ran away!"

Xia Jingxing scratched his head, "How did you know this?"

"Because of this kind of thing, I have seen countless times since I was a child!"

Kristina didn't feel any shyness, and explained it to the two of them generously.

When cows leading the pasture are in heat/estrus, they secrete urine containing hormones that emit an odor in the air that the bull can smell as far as 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) away.

After receiving a courtship signal, the bull will smash through the fence, follow the scent to find the cow, and possibly fight with the bulls in the adjacent pastures for the right to mate.

Yang Niu ignored the two who were looking at each other, urged the horse to rush to the gap in the fence that the bull had just smashed into, and took the horse whip to drive back the cattle that were trying to escape, blocking the gap.

Xia Jingxing and the two could not help much, and stared blankly on the horse.
