Chapter 1766: : Visit the ranch

Ye Chen looked at Belinda at the door with a little embarrassment, but Belinda smiled like a loving mother and asked him and Annie to get up early.
Ye Chen and Annie washed, changed their clothes and went downstairs. Ye Chen saw Alston drinking morning tea in the living room. However, this method of drinking morning tea was taught by Ye Chen to Alston yesterday.
Therefore, Ye Chen found out that Alston made morning tea by himself, and the taste was not as good as he made. However, good tea sets and good tea leaves do not taste bad.
Ye Chen found that the breakfast, milk, bread, eggs, sausage, and oatmeal porridge of the two restaurant chefs really did not fit the Chinese taste.
It's okay to eat a few times, but if he lets him eat these for breakfast every day, Ye Chen definitely can't stand it.
However, he didn't say anything now.
After breakfast, when Alston was going to see the ranch, Alston did not drive his Harley motorcycle over, but rode over.
There are some horses in the ranch, so he also has his own horse riding, and Annie has already learned to ride a horse.
Now when Ye Chen was going to follow the horse to take a look, he had never ridden a horse, so Alston asked Ye Chen and Annie to ride a mighty big stallion.
A worker at a ranch brought a big horse over. Annie got up to the saddle first, and Ye Chen went up again. He confirmed that the horse could bear the weight of the two men, but he certainly couldn't run fast.
Anne held the horse's back with her left hand and the whip in her right hand, following the flaming red stallion of her father Auston behind.
At first, Ye Chen discovered that riding a horse is very different from driving a car. When the horse ran, his was a little uncomfortable.
However, slowly hugged Annie's back, and following along, she got used to it.
Riding that horse far in Alston, Ye Chen found that he saw sheep, black cows, cows, horses, and even some artificial deer along the way.
I heard that there are several large pig farms on the ranch, but those pigs are not released.
Ye Chen didn't expect that the Adams family's ranch was really big, and he ran a long way behind Auston, without end. These were all properties belonging to the Adams family.
Gradually, Ye Chen got acquainted with the horse’s character and asked him to ride that horse. Annie did not expect that Ye Chen learned so quickly. When she came to Alston, Ye Chen asked: "Uncle, this How big is the ranch?"
"The radius is several hundred square kilometers," Alston said.
This time, Ye Chen was more than surprised.
After coming to the flock of sheep, Ye Chen found that besides the workers in one ranch, three adult shepherd dogs were watching over the thousands of sheep.
I heard from Annie that these sheep mainly produce wool. Every once in a while, the wool will be cut by the workers with machines and then sold to related cooperative companies.
Going further ahead, I saw a group of thousands of sheep. Sheepdogs were also watching over those sheep. Only one worker was watching, and then he might go back.
As for the sheep scattered in this way, there are several herds, as are the black cows and dairy cows.
Black cattle are mainly beef cattle in the market and will be sent to the slaughterhouse company regularly. As for those dairy cows, they mainly produce milk. However, in the face of the American economic crisis, the milk has to be dumped, and even most of the cows have to be killed.
Ye Chen has never encountered this kind of thing, but Anne said that she had encountered it when she was a child. It was her grandfather’s generation that encountered an economic crisis and killed a lot of cows. Later, the U.S. economy recovered and raised again. A batch of cows.
However, there will be another economic crisis in the capitalist market economy in 20 to 30 years. These are difficult to change. Therefore, in this situation, only those animals can be killed.
However, Ye Chen asked strangely: "Annie, why don't you give it to others?"
Annie smiled and said, "The capitalists couldn't care about themselves at that time, how could they care about others?"
Ye Chen still couldn't understand.
When they came to the large pig farm, Ye Chen and Annie got off the horse. Workers came to help lead the horse aside and let it eat grass. Ye Chen and Annie just wanted to follow Alston into the pig farm. , But it is necessary to disinfect the whole body first, and then put on the overalls of the pig farm.
Ye Chen thought that these large pig farms were similar to domestic ones. Unexpectedly, it is more developed here, and most of them rely on modern technology.
Otherwise, with such a large pasture and so many kinds of livestock, it would not be enough to rely on more than 100 workers and managers.
Now that Ye Chen, Annie, and even Alston are all disinfected, put on the white overalls here, and just walked inside. Apart from seeing all the automated machines, Ye Chen didn’t smell much unpleasant smell. .
I thought there were so many pigs here, it would definitely be smelly.
However, Ye Chen learned that all the fat pigs here are automatically fed by machines, and the excrement and urine discharged from them will be cleaned up soon, and then processed in a unified place. The excrement and urine will become fertilizer for the pasture. .
Of course, these fertilizers can be sold for money, but Allston uses them all on the pasture as fertilizer for grassland pastures, or fertilizer for a farm near the pasture.
Ye Chen took Annie by the hand and followed Alston behind to look at the fat pigs. He found that each fat pig had more than 100 catties, and it should not be long before they could be sent to the slaughterhouse.
"Are these also company acquisitions?" Ye Chen asked.
"All of them have cooperative companies, signed contracts, and some may be slaughtered in the US market, and some may be sold to other countries." Annie said.
Compared with the large-scale pig farms in China, the pig farms here have more experience and cooperate with companies that are more risky than those in China.
However, only Alston himself knows how much money this fat pig makes.
Alston talked to the staff inside from time to time. Ye Chen and Annie were listening. Some Ye Chen couldn't hear them. Annie whispered to Ye Chen to translate.
After watching this pig farm, I went to another pig farm. The situation is similar. As for the other pig farms, Alston will not visit it for the time being.
After reading this, when Alston brought Ye Chen to the nearby farm, he heard that there are hundreds of square kilometers of farms here, which are mainly planted with corn and a large patch of pumpkins.
Ye Chen had seen a lot of corn in China, so he thought it was normal. However, it was the first time he saw a large patch of pumpkins, dozens of catties apiece.
"These pumpkins are not mainly for eating, they are all sold for Halloween. However, Halloween has just passed, and there are those left for seeds." Annie said.
Ye Chen already understood that these big pumpkins were actually not tasty, and they were all used for Halloween on the Western Ghost Festival.
