Wang Bo did not expect that his first small town ruling class meeting would end like this. There were no gongs and drums, no firecrackers, and no flower baskets. This made him very unhappy.
However, the atmosphere of the meeting was good. Everyone attacked the cowboy and kept making fun of him. Although there was no theme, the atmosphere was not boring.
There was some gain from this meeting, that is, the first five-year development plan of the town was formulated—the first five months, focusing on the grassroots construction of the town, such as the power system, such as the water supply system, such as the network supply system, etc. .
Hani is an expert in this regard. Although he has not been responsible for the construction of a small town, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run away. He has stayed in many small towns and can give Wang Bo a lot of advice.
After the meeting, Wang Bo once again invited Hani to live in the castle with him. Anyway, there were many empty rooms and it would be more lively when there were more people. And Kobe is responsible for cooking, so he doesn’t have to move.
Honey refused, and little Honey breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Bo didn't want to do it anymore. He said to the second grade boy: "You stay here and stay with your father."
The young man suddenly became anxious: "No, I want to live in the castle! I can sleep well and eat well in the castle. Anyway, I'll be comfortable there!"
This is true. Speaking of the two bonuses of Castle Heart, it can be considered as reaching the second level. Now people are more comfortable living inside, and the air is fresher than outside.
Hani smiled and said: "Mayor, don't tease this guy, just go and live. I'm used to living in my workplace. Besides, there are several empty rooms on the second floor. It's good to live here."
The middle school boy finally gave his father some good looks, which made Hani a little flattered. At the same time, he was also curious about how good the castle was and how attractive it was to his rebellious little donkey.
Two days after the meeting, Buck drove to the town. He drove a Chevrolet pickup truck with a cage on it, saying he was here to buy sheep.
It's been a week since the charity auction ended, and the time has turned to mid-March, but no one has come to buy cattle or sheep. Wang Bo thought that Charlie's price was too high, which discouraged the residents of the small town from buying.
Charlie's quotation did make the people of the small town hesitate for a while. A sheep cost more than a thousand yuan, which was a bit stressful for them.
Omarama is not a big city like Wellington. There may be some rich people here, but more importantly, they are working class people. Their income is very low, three to four thousand yuan a month.
As far as Wang Bo knows, the current minimum wage in New Zealand is 14.25 New Zealand dollars an hour. Under normal circumstances, this is the wage level for part-time jobs. For example, students go to places like KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King to work.
Of course, according to the national report, the average salary in New Zealand last year was NZD 72,731, and the per capita monthly salary was more than NT$6,000. This report is not accurate, and every time it comes out, a lot of people criticize it.
Calculated this way, the price of Wang Bo’s whole sheep is ten yuan per pound. The Boer goats currently farmed have the highest clean meat rate, which is about 50%. This means that one pound of things that can be put into people’s mouths It's twenty yuan.
Beef and mutton are the staple food of New Zealanders. A family can eat two or three pounds a day, which is about 50 yuan. For a working class with a monthly income of more than 3,000 yuan, this cost is a bit too high.
Buck was complaining that the price of meat was too high. Wang Bo smiled friendly and said: "We are friends, man, so I can give you a discount. How about 20% off?"
After hearing this, Buck was overjoyed. If he bought a sheep, he could save two to three hundred yuan with a 20% discount.
This time Buck wanted to buy two sheep. Wang Bo explained to him: "The meat of Romney sheep is more delicious, and the meat yield of Boer goats is higher. How do you choose?"
Buck blinked and said strangely: "Isn't the meat of Boer goats more delicious?"
Boer goat is a specialized meat sheep with high lean meat rate, low acid content and better taste. Romney sheep are dual-purpose sheep for meat and wool, and their taste is definitely not as good as that of Boer goats.
But the pasture is different. The taste of the beef and mutton in the pasture is only related to the time they have been transformed by the heart of the pasture. The Romney sheep have been in the pasture twice as long as the Boer goats, and the meat quality has improved better.
Wang Bo explained vaguely, but Buck didn't pay attention. He said, "How about this, a Boer goat and a Romney goat. I'll go back and try it."
It was a good idea, and several people drove to the ranch in a bumpy car.
Nowadays, the size of the pasture has expanded, and there are countless cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, and there are even wild boars.
On the green pasture, the two most eye-catching sheep are the Romney sheep and the Boer goats. Their coat color is mainly white, so they look very conspicuous.
When Buck came to his ranch for the first time, he first exclaimed: "Oh, Snow, your wool here is so clean, as white as the dishes I wash."
Wang Bo smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, man, obviously the sheep I raise are just like me, they love to be clean."
But then Buck said, "My God, king, your pasture has no boundaries? Why don't you fence these things in?"
Lao Wang gave the same explanation, saying that the meat of cattle and mutton raised in captivity is not delicious, and the free-range animals like his have regained their natural instincts and the meat quality is better.
Buck looked at him in surprise and said, "Aren't you worried about the livestock leaving your territory or having your cattle and sheep stolen?"
New Zealand has never been a paradise on earth. Due to legal loopholes, petty theft is very serious here, but Lao Wang is not worried because not many people now know that he has a ranch.
Catching sheep is easy. Wang Bo asked Buck which one he liked. Buck drove around, pointed at a plump Romney sheep and said, "Let's take this one first. It's so beautiful."
After finding the target, Buck stopped the car and took the rope to prepare for action.
Wang Bo waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, buddy, it's up to me."
He called the strong man over and pointed at the big sheep.
After receiving the order, the Mastiff was like an attacking rocket. It flew towards the Romney sheep with all four paws flying, knocked it down at once, and pressed its neck with its paws to catch it.
Seeing this scene, Buck once again marveled: "Wang, this assistant of yours is awesome. Look at its movements. It's so skillful. You must exercise it regularly."
Wang Bo smiled and said nothing, and he exercised a lot. After being taught once, the strong man became an excellent shepherd dog without any teacher.
This Romney sheep weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, which is twelve hundred dollars after discounts.
Compared with Romney sheep, Boer goats are more difficult to capture. Sheep are less athletic than goats, and New Zealand Romney sheep are very lazy. They can stay there for several days after finding a suitable site.
But for a strong man, catching a Boer goat only takes ten seconds longer.
After Buck selected a goat, the strong man pressed it to the ground, and Wang Bo just went up and tied it up.
