The Best Small Farm

Chapter 14 Ranch Planning

Half of the crops planted in the United States are genetically modified crops, and vegetables are no exception. Compared with ordinary vegetables, organic vegetables are more expensive. There are not many types of vegetables in the supermarket in the small town. Tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and lettuce are a few, but the meat is complete. Li Han chose some good beef and pork, and a turkey leg, which is almost enough for three people to eat at noon.

Back at the farm, Li Han was busy preparing lunch, and Kelly helped take care of the naughty Dudu. Li Han plans to make some sauced noodles. The sauced noodles are more in line with Kelly's taste. Li Han's hometown is more traditional food, and the taste is very good. Beef and pork sauce, served with cucumbers and potatoes, diced tomatoes, and garnished with lettuce, enough to make the sauce. The diced beef and pork were first simmered until they were rotten. Thinking that Dudu seemed to like to drink spring water in the space, Li Han took it from the space to make a thick meat sauce.

Vegetables, use fire a little more carefully, the fresh taste of vegetables should be preserved, and they should not be too old. When making beef and pork sauce, Li Han began to work hard on the noodles. The noodles should be three-gloss, hand-gloss, surface-gloss, pot-gloss, and the dough should be half-cooked. It needs to be harder. Paper, sliced ​​evenly, the thickness cannot be checked, and the noodles are cooked with turkey soup. Li Han noodles were put into the pot, the sauce was almost cooked, and a strong aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Little toot who doesn't like to eat, with a twitchy nose, bowed feet, little hands on the kitchen counter, staring eyes, small mouth, Li Han is a little proud, no matter how tricky the little guy's mouth is, he will become a greedy cat.

"Little greedy cat." Li Han used flour to light up the little nose, little guy, while taking out the boiled noodles, some fresh mushrooms in the chicken soup, with the soup, boiled the meat to adjust the noodles, Thick gravy, rotten beef and pork, and vegetable marinade are all combined, and there is a plate of stir-fried green beans, and lunch is ready. Li Han served a bowl for Kelly first, and Xiaodudu made a fuss and quit, hugging Li Han's leg and refusing to let go.

"Kelly, how does it taste?" Li Han asked with a smile, while wiping his little hands. The little guy is amazing at learning other things, but when it comes to chopsticks, he can't use them well. Don't worry. Throw the chopsticks and use them The little hands grabbed it and ate it.

"It's really great, Han, thank you so much for making such a delicious lunch for me." Kelly likes this taste, the sauce is rich, the meat is fragrant and soft, and the vegetables are crisp and fresh, especially the noodle soup , is so beautiful.

"Thank you, how about another bowl?" Li Han said with a smile, the sauce noodles tasted really good today, even Li Han felt that maybe he should not run a farm, but make sauce noodles.

"Of course, it's really delicious." Kelly was not polite, and the three of them ate up a pot of noodles. The little picky eater even ate two small bowls and wanted to eat them. Kelly and Li Han each had two bowls. big bowl.

"It was a memorable meal, Han, thank you." After lunch, after drinking a cup of coffee, Kelly got up and said goodbye. "That's right, Kelly, you've helped me so much, I'll see you off." Li Han sent Kelly back to the town, and he didn't rush back to the farm. Some parts of the farm needed construction in the afternoon, and there was some noise. Besides, Li Han is preparing for tomorrow's party, maybe the sauce interview is a good staple food, Li Han's hometown is in Northwest China, mainly pasta, especially good at noodles.

When I came to the supermarket, before Li Han approached the vegetable section, the little Dudu wobbled and ran to pick up the tomatoes, and stuffed the potatoes into Li Han's hands. "Little greedy cat." Li Han nodded his nose, but he didn't care about the beeping, and pushed Li Han to the meat section. Li Han had no choice but to buy the ingredients for making sauce noodles first, otherwise the little guy would make trouble, and he had nothing to do. Regardless of Dudu's three or four-year-old appearance, his strength is not small, and he was born short, so he is not very sensible, and when he becomes noisy, Li Han is really afraid of knocking down the shelves of goods.

Li Han bought the ingredients for the sauced noodles, Xiaodudu obediently sat in the cart, hugging a big tomato,

Happy to play. Li Han bought some food for the party, and invited more people tomorrow, so it was a bit troublesome to prepare. There were as many as five barrels of beer, and Li Han drove back to George’s farm in a pickup truck. His own farm was under construction, and it was a bit messy. It's not very convenient, but George's side is better. The surrounding lawn is enough to hold a large party, especially George's tableware, coffee pot, etc. are complete.

It's a really nice place, Li Han looked around, it was much better than his small farm here. "However, it's not a problem if the cowshed is empty. Call Willy first and ask Uncle Ronald and Uncle Marbury if there are any surplus cattle and sheep for sale on the farm."

Li Han thought in his mind that all the 2,000 acres of George's land will be converted to pastures, and the other two farms with 3,000 acres of land will be planted with crops. The previous small farms can be converted into weekend farms.

"Weili, I'm Han, am I on the farm?" After dialing the phone, Li Han said, Weili was mostly at the farm at home in the afternoon, and Li Han did not politely explain his purpose. "Han, wait a minute, Dad, Han's phone number, Han wants to raise some cattle."

"Han, dairy cows or beef cattle, which one do you plan to raise?" Ronald answered the phone and asked, Li Han didn't think about it too much. Before, he had no funds to raise cattle and sheep at all. For beef cattle I don't know much about the specific differences from dairy cows, such as feeding.

"Ronald, uncle, I plan to buy 300 beef cattle first, and I would like to hear your suggestion." Li Han expressed his thoughts, and Ronald introduced them. It can be said that Li Han knows nothing about raising beef cattle. What should be paid attention to in raising beef cattle, Ronald will briefly introduce to Li Han.

"Han, maybe you need to hire an experienced cowboy to help you." Ronald reminded Li Han after the introduction.

"Uncle Ronald, as you said, I need an experienced cowboy." Li Han frowned. Breeding cattle and sheep is not an easy task, and an experienced cowboy is essential. Ronald introduced several experienced cowboys in the town to Li Han.

Li Han hung up the phone, packed up, and drove to the bar in the town. This place is quite lively, and cowboys usually like to have a glass of beer here. "Jay, have a beer, is Hughton here today?"

Jack poured Li Han a glass of beer and pointed at the middle-aged white man by the window. "One more beer." Li Han came to Hughton with a beer and said with a smile. "How about a beer, Hugh?"

"Hank? Of course, thank God." Hughton was not polite, and drank the beer in one gulp, wiping the foam from the corner of his mouth.

"Hughton, I'm going to raise 300 cows. I need an experienced cowboy. Uncle Ronald recommends you." Li Han beckoned and served a glass of beer.

Hugh thought about it and took a sip of beer. "Three hundred cows, one cowboy is too little, two cowboys are too much."

"I plan to raise more than ten more horses, and I may raise some milk." Li Han's farm does not have much pasture, and too many beef cattle will cause too much damage to the pasture.

"That's about the same." Hugh nodded.

Li Han and Hughton negotiated a remuneration of 1,300 US dollars and insurance. Hughton called his daughter Dinah again, and after an agreement, Dinah and Hughton packed their bags and followed Li Han back to the farm.
