If the handsome guy from Mexico hadn't immediately said he was joking, and if Lao Wang hadn't recalled that this guy had hooked up with several beauties during the recruitment process in Dunedin last month, he would have definitely been worried about his anus.
He tapped the handsome Mexican boy fiercely with his finger, and Lao Wang said angrily: "Can this kind of thing be a joke? You almost lost the qualification to stand behind me!"
The Mexican handsome boy said with a smile: "Life needs a little vitality, doesn't it?"
"You can't live without being crazy! Go to work!"
The job of holding the bachelor's party was left to the Mexican handsome boy to organize it. Wang Bo had to shear the sheep on the ranch. Of course, he also had to shear the grass-mud horses, whose hair was more precious.
Motak helped him find ten workers and said that each person could shear 300 sheep a day. The ranch now has 10,000 sheep and it would only take about four days to finish the work.
Wang Bo has never had the experience of shearing sheep and knows nothing about it. He has to rely on Bowen and the cowboys in this regard. When they were in Texas, this was their basic job.
It took nearly a month from the time I decided to shear the sheep to the start of the operation, mainly due to bad weather.
You need to choose a sunny day for shearing, because you have to work for four or five consecutive days, so it is required that these four or five days must be sunny.
Although there were quite a few sunny days in the past few days, sheep were being sheared in every pasture, and workers had no time to come out to take care of private work. When the workers have time, the weather is often not good, so the work is delayed.
Wang Bo set up a shearing farm outside the ranch. Regular ranches have specialized shearing plants, but there were none on his property. Bowen chose a small hill and laid special mats on it to build a temporary shearing plant.
At the end of November, the temperature has completely risen, and the shearing work is about to begin.
Motak came to the town with ten workers. They brought their own tools, such as scissors, whetstones, iodine, etc. Lao Wang prepared mats and ropes.
Wang Bo knew that it was best to shear sheep on an empty stomach. The cowboys classified the sheep groups. The sheep that were to be sheared that day had to be driven out of the pasture one day in advance.
The grass in the pasture has been improved. It is not only rich in nutrients but also tastes good. After getting used to it, the ordinary wild grass outside is not the sheep's cup of tea. They would rather go hungry than eat it, and their stomachs will be full of hunger at the end of the day.
The cowboys were responsible for driving the sheep, and ten workers specialized in shearing. They arrived on the short mound and signaled the cowboys to drive the sheep.
Someone kindly suggested: "Good luck Chinese, you'd better find a few more people to drive the sheep. We are very fast, which may be beyond your expectation."
Good Luck Chinese is Wang Bo's new nickname. The reason is naturally that he won the -on jackpot. In addition, he inherited a piece of high-quality land, which is also considered good luck by the locals.
Wang Bo smiled and said: "You can rest assured that if you do your job, my men will drive the sheep at a speed that will exceed your expectations."
There are two cowboys grazing, and four cowboys driving the sheep for ten people is indeed relatively small, but there are still six princes and assistants such as the young man, the queen, and the little king.
The sheep were simply enclosed with wooden fences. After they were released, they wanted to run into the pasture. The dogs immediately rushed over and barked to drive them back to the correct path, and drove them one by one to the high ground.
Regardless of whether they are young queens or princes, they usually help the cowboys to graze, so the sheep have become accustomed to their calls and obey orders honestly.
Seeing the dogs driving the sheep up, these workers marveled:
“Oh my God, these Rottweilers are so smart and such great sheepdogs?”
"Look, look, there's a lion there in Peterson! No, it's not a tiger. It looks like a lion. Why are there stripes on it?"
"Is that a liger or a tigon? There are still people raising this thing in New Zealand? It's really strange!"
The little king shook his head and ran in small steps. When he saw people pointing at him, he glared disdainfully: Look at the coins, have you never seen a liger
A sheep took the opportunity to run into the pasture. Xiao Wang rushed over with two strides, slapped the sheep to the ground, opened his bloody mouth and grabbed the sheep's neck, and dragged it back like a bag...
The other sheep were submissive and obedient. If Xiao Wang roared in that direction, they would go there.
The workers were all watching Xiao Wang and this group of sensible dogs. Motak roared a few times in a rough voice, and they dispersed with laughter, picked up the electric scissors and started working.
Shearing is a one-time job that requires the scissors to be placed flat and close to the sheep's skin in order to keep the hair stubble short and neat. If it is not neatly cut, it cannot be cut again and there is no time to cut it again.
During the shearing process, the most important thing is not to cut the skin, otherwise it will easily become infected. Of course, there is always a mistake, and with so many sheep, some of the sheep will cut their skins, so the workers carry iodophor and iodine, and they must be smeared and disinfected once the skins are broken.
Wang Bo took a wool shear and asked for advice: "Can you cut it slower? I want to learn."
Motak asked with a smile: "Why are you learning this? To prepare to participate in the Sheep Shearing Competition of the Cow Club?"
Wool is an important income for New Zealand ranches and a necessity in everyone's life. Every household has several pieces of clothing such as woolen sweaters. In this country, shearing sheep is not only agricultural work, but also sport.
In spring and autumn, New Zealand holds various sheep-shearing competitions. Skilled workers can complete the shearing work on a sheep in one minute. Such people often have high status and high incomes in farms and ranches.
There is even a 1,500-square-meter sheep-shearing museum in the town of Masterton in the Wellington District, specifically for tourists to visit.
Wang Bo explained: "I am looking forward to participating in such a competition, but before that, I have to cut the hair of my two fat cats, so I have to learn this technique well."
"Then let old Peterson teach you. He is the magician of light and shadow in the ranch. He is the best shearer I know."
The teacher Motak found for him was a burly black man in his fifties. After shaking hands with Wang Bo, he reached out and dragged a sheep to him.
The sheep bleated and kicked its limbs wildly, but it couldn't escape his control. According to Wang Bo's observation, the black man didn't use much force.
Peterson explained to him: "Before you start shearing, lay down the sheep and bind them. Of course, I mean just at the beginning. If you are an experienced hand, then this is very simple. Let me demonstrate it to you."
As he spoke, he lifted up the sheep's head, and used the electric scissors in his right hand to cut forward in a straight line starting from the thigh, and then cut parallel to the line in sequence. The hair was shaved off.
Then, he started to cut the wool on the back. The scissors flew and a layer of wool fell down in an orderly manner. Half a minute later, he cut the wool on the opposite side. In less than two minutes, the sheep's wool coat was taken off. (.)
