Chapter 41 Something needs to be discussed

More than 30,000 acres, more than 20 square kilometers.

The territory is really too large. The longest direct distance from east to west is more than five kilometers. It is not realistic to patrol such a large area every day. It is also difficult for other vehicles to travel in the wilderness.

Jiang Ning could only work hard on his own and drive around from time to time.

There is a green belt of more than 100 acres around the farm.

He built this specifically for shepherds to prevent them from damaging the barbed wire fence on the farm and driving the sheep into the farm to graze. The effect is quite good. Since the construction of this green belt, the shepherds have indeed stopped damaging the barbed wire fence.

Exit from the east gate and turn around to the northwest corner.

Flocks of sheep can be seen everywhere in the green belts, and it seems that all the sheep in Bei'an have been driven here to graze.

The grass was too tall, and the sheep disappeared into it.

If you don't get closer, you can't see it at all.

In front, a shepherd was sitting on the ground, apparently playing with his cell phone.

Jiang Ning drove over and wanted to talk to the shepherd.

As they got closer, the shepherds had already stood up.

Jiang Ning stopped the car and got out, then asked, "Where are you from, herding sheep?"

The shepherd said, "From Gaojiawan."

Jiang Ning had never heard of this place, so he asked, "Which township is it from?"

The shepherd said, "From Laohekou."

Jiang Ning was immediately surprised: "Why do people from Laohekou drive their sheep here?"

The shepherd said, "The grass is good here."

Jiang Ning said he didn't quite understand: "Even if the grass here is good, Laohekou is more than 40 kilometers away from the county seat. It would probably take more than a day to drive the sheep here. What would you eat and drink? Where would you stay at night? Where would you keep the sheep?"

The shepherd said, "The grass here is good, there is food, and the sheep don't run around. I will sleep in the tent at night."

Jiang Ning looked around: "You also brought a tent?"

The shepherd grinned and pointed to a place not far away: "The tent is in the grass over there."

Jiang Ning asked again: "What do you eat and drink?"

The shepherd said, "I brought steamed buns and pickles."

Jiang Ning felt his pockets and found no cigarettes, so he went back to the car to get a pack, lit a cigarette for the shepherd, and asked, "Can you eat steamed buns and pickles every day? There are pastures over in Laohekou. Even if the grass is not good, it's not that there is no grass at all. Is it necessary to drive the sheep so far to graze here?"

The shepherd looked helpless: "There is less rain this year, and the grass is not as good as last year. If I take the sheep out to graze for a day, they won't have any grass to eat and won't grow much weight. I have to feed them when I bring them back to the pen at night. The cost is too high. It's better to bring them here to graze."

Jiang Ning sighed: "It's really not easy."

The shepherd smiled naively and said, "It's not easy to make money. Even those who work in offices can get sick from working. It's okay to suffer a little. As long as the sheep grow fatter and can be sold for more money, it's worth it."

Jiang Ning agreed: "That's true."

The shepherd asked, "Are you the boss of this farm?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes."

The shepherd smiled and said, "You are a good person. I heard from them that there was no grass outside your farm. Someone always cut your wire fence and drove the sheep into the farm. You hired a water truck to sprinkle water outside, so the grass can grow so tall."

Jiang You said with feeling: "I can't say I'm a good person. It seems that good people are not popular in today's society. But it's not easy to see you herding sheep. I can't bear to call the police to arrest you and put you in jail. Spending a little money can solve the problem and prevent others from accusing me of bullying. How many sheep do you raise and how much can you earn in a year?"

The shepherd said, "With more than 300 sheep, if things go well, we can have 100 lambs a year, earning 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. If not, we can only have 70 to 80 lambs, earning 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. The grass here is good, the sheep get fat, and the lamb survival rate is also good."

Jiang Ning was half-believing and half-doubting: "More than a hundred, even if they are lambs, they would cost more than 70,000 or 80,000, right?"

The shepherd's face was full of helplessness. "If you come across someone who buys lambs specifically to eat, you can still make some money. A larger lamb cake can sell for more than a thousand yuan, but there are not many of them. We can only sell in large quantities because we raise a lot. Of course, the sheep dealers can't give us a high price. On average, a lamb costs only seven or eight hundred yuan. When the price of sheep is not good, we have to sell it for five hundred yuan."

Jiang Ning asked, "Can't you raise them and then sell them?"

The shepherd took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I can't afford it. It's okay in the summer because we can drive them out to eat grass. But in the winter we have to feed them with fodder. Fodder is so expensive now. Ten thousand yuan of fodder is not enough to feed them in the winter."

Jiang Ning expressed his understanding and said, "Come to me when you sell sheep in the future. I'll see if I can help you digest some."

The shepherd smiled and nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I saw someone come to your farm to steal rabbits."

Jiang Ning was immediately surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

The shepherd said, "I didn't want to talk about this, but you are kind enough to take care of us shepherds, so I'm indebted to you. I'll tell you that I saw several groups of people stealing rabbits from your farm in the past few days."

Jiang Ning asked: "Who are they and how did they get here?"

The shepherd said, "Some came on foot, and some on motorcycles."

He pointed to a place not far away and said, "There are two motorcycles hiding in the bushes over there, with three people in total. They must be stealing rabbits."

Jiang Ning took a quick look but didn't see the motorcycle. The weeds were too tall and the motorcycle couldn't be seen hidden in them. He stuffed a bag of Huazi that he had just opened to the shepherd and said, "Thank you. I'll go check it out!"

The shepherd held a cigarette and watched him drive away.

Not without emotion.

Young people are better because they are more likely to be soft-hearted.

Also kind-hearted.

Unlike middle-aged and elderly people, as they grow older, they see more and experience more, and their hearts become harder. They don't have that much sympathy. Although it is not absolute, young people are indeed more likely to feel compassion than middle-aged and elderly people.

……

Jiang Ning's heart was actually very hard. Africa was a place full of human tragedies, and he had seen too many of them, so his heart had long been as hard as stone. He just had a special feeling for his hometown, which made him more tolerant towards the people there.

He won't be polite when he meets a scum like Fatty.

When a slap in the face is due, I will never show mercy.

After driving forward for more than a hundred meters, I finally saw a motorcycle.

The motorcycle is not hidden very secretly, and you can see it as long as you stand right in front of it.

It was obvious that the person who came to steal the rabbits was honest and had no intention of hiding it from the shepherd.

Jiang Ning got out of the car and looked around.

No one was seen.

After crossing a green belt of more than 100 meters, we arrived at the barbed wire fence.

The barbed wire was in good condition and there were no signs of damage.

After standing by and watching for a while, I saw someone peeking out from the woods on the farm.

But he just looked around and then immediately hid in the woods.

Jiang Ning, damn! He really came here to steal rabbits.

My mother approved it.

Can you hide forever without coming out?

Jiang Ning did not go in to catch anyone, but crossed the green belt and returned to the car.

When I passed by two motorcycles, I took a closer look and was surprised again.

The two motorcycles are not cheap ones, they are not motorcycles for the poor.

Who among the poor people would buy a motorcycle worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan?

Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a car?

These thieves are not simple!

Jiang Ning was a little curious and waited in the car.

He also opened the car door and started listening to music.

Anyway, the motorcycle is right next to us, so we can see how long those thieves can hide.

About ten minutes passed.

In the bushes more than 570 meters away from the edge of the green belt, three people poked their heads out to look around, feeling worried at the 570 parked at the edge of the green belt. There are many engineering bosses in Bei'an who drive Land Cruisers, but few of them drive .

The farm owner drives a 570, everyone who has been here knows it.

When you see 570, you know who is coming.

I didn't expect that when I came to catch a rabbit, I would be blocked by the farm owner.

Where did this come from?

The three thieves did not think of themselves as thieves. Those rabbits were all wild rabbits that just ran to this farm. There was nothing wrong in catching a few to eat as game. But they could not afford to offend rich people. Anyone with a little experience knew that eggs cannot touch stones.

It breaks very easily.

This farm is amazing. Baili Hou came to conduct research a few days ago!

Looking at the 570 parked outside, with the door open and music playing.

Obviously waiting for them to go out.

The three thieves discussed it for a while, then hesitated and dared not go out.

Although none of them considered themselves to be thieves, their hearts were more treacherous than the other.

Although everyone has some status.

But precisely because of my status, I dare not go out.

First, it was embarrassing, and second, I knew the farm owner was not someone you could mess with.

So it was a difficult birth.

Jiang Ning waited for half an hour, but no one came out.

I got a little impatient, so I called and asked someone to come and take the motorcycle away.

After about ten minutes, a pickup truck drove over.

It’s my uncle Zhang Yuedong’s pickup truck.

The driver was a farm worker. When he saw the 570 parked there, he drove straight over.

The car stopped nearby and two workers got out.

Seeing the motorcycle hidden in the bushes, I was quite surprised: "There really is someone here to steal rabbits."

Jiang Ning held his waist and said, "Put the two motorcycles on the car and take them back. Then find someone to change the locks and keep them for the farm in the future."

The two workers agreed with a smile and went over to lift the motorcycle.

Now the three thieves who were hiding and dared not come out can no longer hide.

How much is a rabbit worth?

If you sacrifice your motorcycle just for a few rabbits, you will suffer a huge loss.

Face is important, but property is more important!

"What are you doing!"

The three thieves immediately stood up and rushed over, looking very aggressive.

Pretending to be calm.

The two workers stopped and looked at the three thieves.

Jiang Ning also looked over and could tell at first glance that this was no ordinary thief.

He is fair-skinned and about thirty years old.

There were two men and one woman, all of them looked quite young.

Jiang Ning pointed at the motorcycle and said, "Is this your bike?"

One of the thieves nodded: "Yes, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Ning smiled and asked, "What are you doing on my farm?"

The man with glasses looked around, as if surprised: "This isn't on your farm, is it?"

Jiang Ning asked: "Then what are you doing here?"

The man with glasses was very calm: "I heard there are goat beards here, let's come over and pluck some."

As he said this, he raised the goat's beard he had just plucked to show that he was not lying.

Jiang Ning said slowly, "Why didn't I see you guys plucking sheep's beards here just now? Instead, there were people peeking out from my farm. Could it be that you weren't the ones hiding in the woods just now?"

The man with glasses said with certainty: "It's definitely not us."

Jiang Ning took out his cell phone and said, "In that case, I'll call the police to come and take a look!"

"No, no, no, we can discuss it!"

The man with glasses suddenly panicked.

The man and woman who had been silent were also a little panicked.
