"Hiss..." Standing in front of the sunny window sill, Jiang Hai stretched his waist. Although the weather outside was already a little cold, it was still warm inside the house. Jiang Hai's room, no, it can be said that Jiang Hai All the rooms on the sea side have independent power supply equipment. Compared with the Northeast China, coal is burned in winter, causing serious pollution.
In the winter in the United States, there are basically two types of geothermal heat, one is natural gas and the other is electricity.
Especially electricity, which is an emerging energy in recent years. Utility bills in the United States are actually not expensive. Of course, if you multiply everything by six, except for burgers from Kaifeng cuisine, Besides, everything is expensive here.
After all, what you earn here is US dollars, and what you spend is US dollars, so you have to calculate it based on US dollars.
Water and electricity prices are different in every state in the United States. After all, some places are rich in water resources, so they are cheaper. In some places, such as California or Phoenix, they are deserts, so water prices are naturally low. expensive.
As for electricity costs, they are basically the same. They are cheaper where there is electricity and more expensive where there is no electricity.
Although living resources are relatively expensive in Boston, where Jiang Hai is located, to be honest, water and electricity are not expensive.
After all, the fresh water resources here are extremely rich. Although there are no big rivers, there are too many small rivers and ditches. The groundwater is also extremely rich, so the water fee is very cheap. According to the calculation here, it is US$0.013 per cubic foot. , converted into tons, it is about fifty cents per ton, equivalent to fifty cents, which is indeed not expensive.
Electricity is even cheaper. There are 117 nuclear power plants in the United States, including two in the Boston area.
So the electricity bill here is also very cheap, about eight cents per kilowatt hour. The gas government has policies. In winter, because there are still many people who burn gas, the price is very low, about every cubic foot. It costs 0.6 cents, which is a little expensive in the summer, but not more than two cents per cubic foot. In total, the prices of these things here are indeed very cheap.
When Jiang Hai renovated his house, he replaced all the gas floor heating with electric floor heating. After all, this kind of floor heating is safer. If the gas leaks, it will really run out of gas. This kind of floor heating is safer. Although the things are slightly more expensive, safety comes first. Secondly, there is no smell. Thirdly, it is more environmentally friendly. But having said that, the electricity bill here is very cheap, which is the most important thing.
His entire villa is powered by electric floor heating 24 hours a day, which consumes about 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity every day. For the entire winter, even if it lasts for three months and 100 days, that is only 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is converted into US dollars. The knife only costs 1,600 US dollars, which is indeed not expensive.
If you add in the small villas next to him, the ones where Robbins and the others live, the cost is about two thousand dollars a winter.
But he slept very comfortably. Walking barefoot on the ground, Jiang Hai yawned and let out the energy to wake up.
"Boom!" Seeing Jiang Hai's comfortable look, Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, who were lying at the door, couldn't help shouting.
Jiang Hai took one look at them spinning around anxiously, and couldn't help but pat his forehead. It was a bit cold last night, so he slept with the door closed. He thought these guys wanted to go to the toilet a long time ago, but since he drank Jiang Hai's blood , Uh, why are you talking so awkwardly, but it is true that after drinking his blood, these two dogs have indeed become a lot smarter. After just saying it once, they know not to go to the toilet in the room. Now even if they have I also hold back my urine.
"Let's go!" After simply putting on a coat and shoes, Jiang Hai opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the two dogs rushed out, and Jiang Hai also walked out with them. He had to prepare. Made breakfast.
But just as he reached the door and before turning into the kitchen, Jiang Hai saw Bell driving an all-terrain vehicle, pulling a large cart of fodder behind him, heading towards the cowshed.
Since Jiang Hai moved here, he has only gone to the cowshed five or six times in total. Every time he went in, he had to endure the stench. He is indeed not a working material, but fortunately, he feels more at ease. The lawn of the manor has basically been improved by him. Whether it is fresh grass or dried hay, the energy in it is quite good.
Cows not only have better meat quality, but also become smarter. Although they are not as smart as directly absorbing blood, at least they are not too noisy and are not easy to explode. This is what makes Robin, who was originally preparing for a big fight, Si and others were speechless.
This is almost like being pregnant. When you go to a family with a child to ask how to take care of the child, the family tells you that the child is having trouble. He basically sleeps less than three hours a day and is always crying. This makes you also Be 200% prepared.
But after the baby is born, you find that he hardly cries, sits and rests at the correct time, eats normally, doesn't get sick, or gets upset. This makes all your initial preparations come to nothing.
But in any case, they are very happy that the cattle are so trouble-free. They are now ready to observe them for two more days before starting to herd the cattle.
Although it is almost winter now, the grass on Jiang Hai's pasture is still green and can be left there for a few more days.
We will wait until it snows. As for the feed for winter, it has already been prepared.
"Good morning, boss!" Seeing Jiang Hai, Bell couldn't help but smile and wave to Jiang Hai.
"Hey? Bell, wait a minute..." Seeing Bell's happy look, Jiang Hai couldn't help but stop him.
"What's the matter? Boss." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bell also stopped the car and asked a little strangely.
"Bell, weren't you from Delta State before? Then can you teach me some fighting skills?" Looking at Bell, Jiang Hai hurriedly said, now that they are busy, it's better not to be blind. Good to add to the chaos.
"Oh, okay, I'm not too busy now. After lunch, I'll come over and teach you." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bell had no reason to hesitate. He almost nodded in agreement after hearing it.
This extinguished Jiang Hai's original idea of spending money. Of course, he knew that in the American Empire, everything was about money. Although Bell did not mention it, he still needed to prepare it first.
"Okay, do I need to prepare anything?" Jiang Hai also asked happily after hearing Bell agreed.
"Don't eat too much, just eighty percent full. Well, boss, seventy percent full is fine. Just wear a loose sportswear or something like that." After thinking about it, Bell smiled and looked at Jiang Hai in front of him. Said, after hearing Bell's words, Jiang Hai also nodded.
"Then I'll leave first!" Seeing that Jiang Hai had understood, Bell waved to Jiang Hai and then drove away in a car.
After he left, Jiang Hai went back to wash his face and brush his teeth. After everything was done, he grabbed some food at home and found a set of sportswear. Compared with other rich people, The clothes Jiang Hai bought were much simpler.
After all, he is still an ordinary hanging silk in his bones. He doesn't dare to be interested in those donkeys, Ah Me, Fan Sizhe and the like. Jiang Hai has an average feeling about those casual clothes and suits. General.
He has no feeling at all about what creates the feeling of a successful person.
So after he got rich, he also bought a lot of clothes, but he only bought three kinds of clothes, one for wearing at home and one for sportswear. He didn't dare to buy Nike or anything before, because It’s too expensive, but after arriving in the United States, I exclusively bought this one.
UA's ones are actually pretty good, but their numbers are too small, and he doesn't like them very much.
In addition to these two kinds of clothes, he bought a lot of outdoor clothes, hiking pants, hiking shoes, jackets, etc. He also liked these. Of course, according to what Robbins said, Jiang Hai should also There is a denim outfit.
So he also bought a set, but after buying it, it seemed that he only wore it once and never wore it again. The tassels on the pants and vest looked really out of place... It was outrageous. It's so bad, at least now it's hard for him to accept.
Of course, if it was such a party, he wouldn't mind wearing it.
After changing into loose sportswear, Jiang Hai went to the cowshed to take a look. When there were 5,000 cows, the stench was already overwhelming. Now that there are 20,000 cows, the smell is even stronger. , even people like Robbins and others who work here are afraid of being poisoned. After all, farts contain methane, and cows are one of the animals most willing to fart.
Because generally speaking, farts are caused by sugar and fiber in food. These are food for coliform bacteria. After eating these things, coliform bacteria will exhale and produce farts. Cows chew cud. Each rumination will produce twice as much fart, so global warming and the like are inseparable from cows. Even if it is ventilated from all sides, the smell will be unbearable. If it is locked up, it may Some of these cows in the sea will be smoked to death tomorrow.
He came here, firstly, to see the cows, but most importantly, he came here to see his horses.
When he bought a horse, he specially bought a Shire horse. Although it was not a purebred horse, it was quite big.
After the horse arrived at the farm, even if it was under Jiang Hai's command, Jiang Hai would come over and feed it some grass and carrots every day as long as he had time. Of course, these things were also added with ingredients. As for the others, Sometimes there are horses, but the number is not large. When I saw Jiang Hai coming from a distance, this huge horse started to feel happy in the stable.
"Okay, okay, okay, come and eat!" Jiang Hai walked over and patted the big horse's neck. He said with a smile, then took the prepared food and started to feed the horse. After playing with the huge Shire horse for a while, Jiang Hai checked the time and returned to Mrs. Philemon. After lunch, he made a phone call with Bell and sat in the villa waiting for him.
