This winter, the weather in New Zealand has been extremely cold.
In the evening, Wang Bo cut the prepared tofu into pieces and took it to the kitchen balcony. After a while, the tofu became hard, so he picked up a piece and bit it in his mouth to try it. It had the texture of frozen tofu. .
The fat cat brothers were so greedy that when they saw Lao Wang bit into a piece of frozen tofu, they ran over on their short legs, each picked up a piece and ran away.
After running a few meters, they turned around and looked at Lao Wang warily. When they saw that he was not chasing after him, they stopped to eat the frozen tofu with confidence.
After taking a bite, the fat man immediately ran back with the frozen tofu in his mouth, put it down honestly, and then spat out the remaining tofu residue in his mouth: What the hell is this, I don’t want to eat it!
Lao Wang laughed loudly, making you greedy.
After laughing twice, he couldn't laugh anymore. Er Pang ate all the frozen tofu in a daze, eating it cleanly!
Eva and little Loli still sleep at school. Little Loli's punishment is a week. During this week, she is not allowed to return to the castle, but Eva stays with her in bed.
Wang Bo was about to go back to sleep. Little White Bull stood alone at the door and looked at him timidly. His eyes made people think of orphans and how pitiful they were.
It had bad luck with the little Lolita. In order to punish the latter, Eva banned her from seeing all pets including the little white cow this week. For this reason, the little Loli cried and resisted many times, but the resistance was ineffective. Eva is really a sister with a strong heart.
Lao Wang went over to comb its cow fur, patted its strong little head and said: "Don't worry, your troublemaker has not disappeared. She is living well now and eating deliciously. It is estimated that she will be there again in the next few days." You’ve gained two kilograms, please stay alone for now, okay?”
The little white cow didn't have the heart to be a pet, so it was very stupid, but this time it seemed to understand what Lao Wang said. It raised its head and mooed a few times, and slowly returned to the heart of the nest, lying there and staring. Keep your eyes on the door.
At night, Lao Wang lay down and had a good dream, and then another heavy snowfall hit the whole of New Zealand.
Ranchers don't need to be happy about the abundant water now. Mid-to-late July is the coldest time in New Zealand. Soon after the snow falls, it freezes and turns into serious ice and snow.
At such temperatures, grass can easily freeze to death.
So after dawn, looking at the white outside, Lao Wang wailed and punched Xiao Wang next to him, shouting: "Mom, we have to clear the snow again!"
The liger beast is strong, and even after receiving a punch, it did not waver. It just grinned aggrievedly and ran away unhappy: I don't know how I offended you, why did you hit me when you disagree
When they arrived at the ranch, the cowboys had solemn expressions. After seeing Bo Wang, Cousins came up and said, "Boss, it's a bit too cold. We picked out two dead hens this morning. They froze to death."
This is the first time that the ranch has experienced non-combat attrition. In the past, regardless of whether livestock or poultry, the cause of death was either fighting with each other, or they were fighting with each other and were killed by the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.
The heart of the second-level pasture is powerful and supports the vitality of poultry and livestock. In this case, their ability to withstand cold and heat is very strong. There have been no animals that have been killed by heat or freezing before.
Wang Bo looked at the two cold, hard fat chickens on the ground and sighed: "The temperature is abnormally low today. Many places have already issued low temperature warnings. Is there anything you can do?"
He doesn't pay the Cowboys for nothing. If there are problems, the Cowboys have to solve them for him.
"It's too late to build sheds now, and there's no need for it. Judging from the past, open-air farming is reliable as long as there are no extreme changes in temperature."
"So, we might as well buy some warm dry velvet grass and arrange a hatching nest. Don't worry about the long hair of the cattle and sheep. This way, as long as the chickens, ducks and geese can keep warm and not die."
Wang Bo looked around and saw that the livestock and poultry had become more honest now, and they all gathered together to keep warm.
Maybe it's because of the heart of the ranch. They seem to be directed by someone. The cattle, sheep and chickens and ducks gather together, with the cattle, sheep and deer as the backbone, and the chickens, ducks and geese fill the gaps, maximizing the use of the heat emitted by each other.
The only exception is the yaks. The white yaks form a self-contained herd. Such temperatures are a piece of cake for them. From time to time, they pass by the huddled herd with contemptuous eyes: a bunch of scum.
So the troops were divided into two groups. Peterson called Gan Xicao, while Cousins and others drove a snowplow truck to clear the snow from the pasture.
"Is the snow still piled up where it was last time?"
Wang Bo shrugged: "Is there any more suitable place besides there? Just go there. Now I think I can create a ski resort."
Having fun in their misery, a group of people took off their cotton-padded clothes and started working.
Xiao Wang and the young man were running and playing in the snow. After a while, a wild boar came out shivering. Xiao Wang was startled. It quietly approached the wild boar from behind, opened its mouth and bit the wild boar's neck.
The wild boar was so cold that it could no longer run. It whined and resigned, stretched out its limbs and remained motionless, letting Xiao Wang drag him along in the snow.
Wang Bo was sweeping the snow and saw a nest of eggs. When he got it, he tried it. The temperature was frighteningly cold. These eggs were useless and would never hatch. He suffered a lot this winter.
Compared to other ranches, his losses were relatively small.
Peterson, who ordered dried fine grass, came back later and lamented: "Xue Te, the price of fine grass has soared. It used to cost only 80 yuan per ton, but now it costs 150 yuan!"
Wang Bodao: "If I had known we would have gotten some fine grass to plant, we might have been able to sell it for some money."
Peterson shook his head and said: "Then you have to build a special pasture. The reason why the price of fine grass in the pasture has increased is not only because of the high demand now, but also because of the lack of water in the summer. The growth of grass this year is very poor. Even if the price increases, they Most of them may also lose money.”
Maori rancher Motak called him later and asked: "Wang, how is the situation there?"
"It's terrible. Several chickens and a lot of eggs, ducks and goose eggs were frozen to death. Damn it, when will the weather get warmer?"
Motak wailed: "I'll kill you, you showoff dog! Two of my cows froze to death, both with their calves! There were more sheep that froze to death. I didn't even dare to count them. You only froze to death." How many chickens and ducks are there?”
Wang Bo laughed dryly: "Of course the cattle and sheep also froze to death, I just didn't say anything."
New Zealand has strict food safety and hygiene controls. Livestock that died unnaturally cannot enter people's dining tables, so they can only dig pits and bury them, causing ranchers to suffer great losses.
Peterson said: "Boss, we have to increase the amount of breeding in the spring. Looking at it now, the price of New Zealand beef and mutton will definitely increase next year."
Lao Wang waved the broom like an electric fan and said, "You make the plan, and I'll just pay."
Although this idea is shameful, it is true. Lao Wang was not in a good mood at first, but when he learned that the losses in other ranches were worse than his own, his mood suddenly improved a lot... (.)
