Chapter 251 This is not Aunt
"boss."

"what's up?"

The sea snake was a little helpless: "Your brother doesn't want to train anymore."

Jiang Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was shocked. He wondered what could have happened in the mining area. It was just that when his mother mentioned it, Sea Snake called. It was too coincidental. He asked, "Why don't you want to train?"

The sea snake hesitated, obviously not knowing what to say.

Jiang Ning understood immediately: "Didn't I tell you that the bastard is a loser? You need to train him well. You should train him the same way you trained the SEALs in the Navy. You can even use a whip to hit him in the ears and beat him."

The sea snake asked, "Can you really beat me?"

Jiang Ning said affirmatively: "If you can beat him, go ahead and beat him, as long as you don't kill him or injure him."

The sea snake understood: "I understand."

Jiang Ning said: "Practice hard, and make sure to cure that bastard's laziness and train yourself into a decent person."

The sea snake was very confident about this: "Boss, don't worry, I will train him into a qualified soldier."

Jiang Ning asked a few questions about the situation in the mining area and then hung up.

Zhang Yulan only understood a little bit. She only knew some common expressions and didn't understand some complicated words. She asked Jiang Ning, "Did something happen to Zhang Yulong?"

Jiang Ning said speechlessly: "What could possibly happen? Can you stop being such a pessimist?"

Zhang Yulan didn't argue with her son and asked, "What's that?"

Jiang Ning said: "That kid is lazy and refuses to train. The mercenary leader asked what to do!"

Zhang Yulan kept sighing, wondering what was wrong with young people nowadays.

After lunch, it was already two o'clock.

Jiang Ning took Feng Xue out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the environment.

This house is not big and certainly cannot be compared with the villa on the farm.

It covers an area of ​​just over one acre, with a lawn in the front and a vegetable patch and orchard in the back. Dad Jiang has nothing to do here, so he spends the whole day fiddling with the vegetable patch and orchard, keeping them in perfect order. It's just that it feels deserted and can be boring.

The house is a large bungalow, the kind that is open from front to back.

It's over 200 square meters and has five bedrooms.

It's no problem for a whole family to stay here.

Mother Jiang followed behind and pointed: "You sleep in this room."

Jiang Ning remained calm, but Feng Xue felt a little embarrassed.

I looked it over inside and out.

Sat under the tree in the backyard for a while.

After 2:30, Dad Jiang drove to pick up his granddaughter.

I used to walk there, which is one kilometer away from the school.

I finally passed the driving test a while ago and can drive on the road. In fact, the driving licenses from my hometown are mutually recognized in Australia, so I can drive on the road with a translated copy. However, if I am not familiar with the traffic rules, it is easy to violate the rules, and the car here is right-hand drive.

There has to be a familiarization process.

It took Dad Jiang nearly half a year before he dared to drive on the road.

Zhang Yulan was afraid of neglecting Feng Xue, so she kept talking to him.

Jiang Ning saw that Feng Xue was feeling uncomfortable, so he asked her to go out for a walk.

Zhang Yulan was a little dazed as she watched the two of them leave hand in hand.

I always feel like something is wrong.

……

There are more than thirty households in this community, all of which are large bungalows. The side facing the street is covered with lawns and fruit trees, which are neatly trimmed. In summer, the trees are full of red oranges, but in winter there is nothing.

The road was deserted, not a single person was to be seen.

No wonder Dad Jiang is still not used to it after such a long time.

It was too deserted.

It’s nothing like my hometown, which is always bustling with activity.

Jiang Ning turned his head to look at Feng Xue and asked, "Is this unnatural?"

Feng Xue nodded.

Jiang Ning said: "Just get used to it. You are their daughter-in-law just like Feng Yu."

Feng Xue was a little embarrassed and gestured twice.

It was hard to express myself, so I took out my phone and wrote to him: "I know, my mother treats me very well."

When I came back after a walk, Dad Jiang had already picked up his granddaughter.

"uncle!"

Jiang Tingting was so happy to see him.

Jiang Ning touched his head and said, "I've grown taller again."

The little girl looked at Feng Xue, not quite recognizing her.

Jiang Ning said: "This is my aunt."

The little girl immediately said, "Uncle is lying, this is not my aunt, I remember my aunt."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Uncle is not lying, this is my aunt."

The little girl refused to acknowledge him: "This is not my aunt."

Jiang Ning said, "If you don't believe me, ask grandma."

The little girl looked at her grandmother.

Zhang Yulan said, "It's my aunt."

The little girl was quite confused, she only remembered her aunt.

I brought my sister here during the Chinese New Year and we celebrated the New Year together here.

This is clearly not my aunt.

But her grandma and uncle both said it was her aunt, and she was confused.

I looked at grandpa again.

Jiang Youxin said, "It's my aunt."

The little girl finally believed it, but was confused: "Do I have two aunts?"

Jiang Youxin smiled and nodded: "Yes, you have two aunts."

The little girl said "oh". At her age, she certainly couldn't understand why she only had one uncle but two aunts. But her grandparents said that this one was her aunt, so she just treated her as her aunt. She wanted to get close to her but didn't dare.

Feng Xue touched her head.

The little girl was immediately happy and called out, "Auntie."

Feng Xue smiled, remembering that the little girl was very close to her when she was over one year old.

After gesturing a bit, the little girl looked confused.

Jiang Ning said: "Auntie can't speak, you have to learn sign language too."

The little girl was even more confused, and she could hardly understand what her uncle said.

Jiang Ning asked the little girl about kindergarten.

The little girl chattered excitedly to him for a long time.

It’s still early for dinner and there’s nothing to do in the afternoon.

Zhang Yulan suggested going to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and pork.

So I locked the door and drove to town.

Jiang Ning was driving and Jiang's father was sitting in the passenger seat.

Feng Xue and Jiang Ma sat in the back, sandwiching Jiang Tingting in the middle.

The town was also quiet and there were not many people.

But once we entered the supermarket, there were more people.

This Coles is the only supermarket in the town. Its business area is not very large, but the variety of goods it provides is quite complete. The residents of the town basically buy all kinds of daily necessities here, including fresh meat and vegetables, etc.

Although Dad Jiang grows some vegetables, there are not many varieties.

Some still need to be bought in supermarkets.

After entering the supermarket, Jiang Ning separated from his parents.

Jiang Tingting didn't follow her grandparents, but followed her and Feng Xue.

The little girl was familiar with the place and found her uncle and aunt wandering around.

I immediately pulled them to the snack area.

Then he pointed to a bag of cornflowers and said, "Uncle, I want to eat this cornflower."

"Then buy it!"

Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the little girl immediately took a bag of popcorn happily.

After walking around, he picked up another box of blueberries and a small box of cake.

The little girl was finally satisfied.

When turning to the fresh meat section, Jiang Ning discovered that there were also seafood for sale.

He pulled Feng Xue over to take a look.

Lobster and king crab, all fresh.

Jiang Ning said, "Let's buy some lobsters and king crabs and eat some seafood."

Feng Xue gestured, she was not very good at making these things.

Jiang Ning said: "I can cook. I'll be the chef tonight."

I picked a big, fat crab and am weighing it now.

Zhang Yulan came over and saw him buying crabs. She said, "Why are you buying this? I can't make it."

Jiang Ning said: "I will do it."

Zhang Yulan took a few looks and went to pick some fish. These things were not available in her hometown in the northwest. She neither ate nor cooked them, especially the big crab, which looked like a big spider and was creepy to look at.

After buying the ingredients, I bought some daily necessities.

After shopping for nearly an hour, I finally went home carrying large and small bags.

Feng Xue didn't sleep well on the plane, so he looked a little sleepy now.

Jiang Ning let her go to the house and sleep for a while, but then she was taken away by Jiang's father to work like a slave.

Although this house is not as big as the farm villa, it is not small in this community. It covers more than one acre of land. The backyard used to be a garden and vegetable patch. Mother Jiang thought the garden was too big and it would be troublesome to take care of the flowers and plants.

I want to shovel out part of it and dig a fish pond to raise fish.

It doesn't need to be too big, 30 to 40 square meters is enough.

This is a physical job, and Dad Jiang has been digging for a while.

Just then my son came and conscripted some men.

Jiang Ning changed into work clothes, jumped into the pit with a shovel and started working.

No matter how successful you are, you still have to work for your parents at home.

There's nothing to say about that.

Dad Jiang was not idle either, he was also digging on the other side with a shovel.

There is a big difference between the way father and son work.

Dad Jiang dug slowly and rhythmically.

Jiang Ning was different, he swung the shovel very quickly.

When Dad Jiang digs one shovel of soil, he can dig four times.

Jiang Tingting squatted on top and shouted one, two, three to her grandfather and uncle.

You can't be impatient when doing this job, otherwise you won't have the physical strength to last.

If Dad Jiang doesn't remind you, you'll understand once you suffer a little loss.

result……

After digging for an hour, Jiang Ning was still neither red in the face nor out of breath.

Although Dad Jiang didn't say anything, he was secretly shocked.

This kid has really good physical strength.

With this much strength, he can do the work of three people even if he works on a construction site.

At this time, Jiang's mother came over and called Jiang Ning: "What are we going to do with the seafood? Go get it."

Jiang Ning agreed, threw down the shovel and went to process the seafood.

It's half past five and Mother Jiang has already started cooking.

Jiang Ning didn't call Feng Xue. He changed his clothes and washed his face. He first cleaned and processed the two king crabs. He didn't plan to steam them. He was going to make spicy crabs. He had already bought the ingredients when he was shopping in the supermarket.

After washing, cut into pieces, and then beat two eggs.

Coated with egg and cornstarch.

Then use oil to press it and remove it from the pot after it is cooked.

Finally, stir-fry with ginger, bean paste, dried chilies and other ingredients, and simmer for a while when it is almost done.

The lobster is prepared in the same way and made spicy.

By the time the meal was ready, it was already half past six.

Mother Jiang fried four home-cooked dishes, made a soup, and the staple food was rice.

Jiang Tingting served as a correspondent, responsible for delivering messages to grandparents and uncle.

Jiang Ning asked her to go and call grandpa for dinner, and the little girl ran to call grandpa.

Just after she called her grandfather over, her grandmother asked her to call her aunt.

The little girl went to call her aunt again.

When Feng Xue arrived, the food was already on the table.

Just wait for him.

I'm a little sorry that I fell asleep just now.

Sit down around the dining table.

Jiang Ning picked up a crab leg for Feng Xue: "I made spicy crab today, how about trying it?"

Feng Xue was even more embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Jiang's father and mother. Zhang Yulan didn't understand. As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse is born to dig holes. Jiang's father is introverted. Even if he cares about people, he won't show it. He will just keep it in his heart. In the old saying, he is a taciturn person.

The eldest brother is the same, his personality is just like his father Jiang.

But the second one is different. He often shows his affection while eating.

She is outgoing and active, nothing like her father.

If it wasn't for the resemblance that this was her biological child, Zhang Yulan would have suspected that the nurse had taken the wrong baby away when the baby was born in the hospital. Perhaps this is the case of "one grain of rice breeds many varieties of people"!
“This lobster is okay.”

Zhang Yulan tasted the lobster and praised it.

Jiang Ning said he was proud, but he actually understood the situation in his heart.

The food he cooks is edible at best, not good at all.

The spicy crab and spicy shrimp are just fried casually. The seasonings and ingredients in Australia are different from those in my hometown. The final product doesn’t taste like the ones in my hometown. It’s only because the ingredients are good, otherwise it would be really bad.

Lunch was too late.

Feng Xue could only eat half a bowl of rice and couldn't eat any more.

Jiang Ning did some physical work, which was very exhausting.

He ate almost all of the two pots of shrimp and crabs. They looked like a lot, but they were actually not tasty at all.

After dinner, it was already dark.

It’s not suitable to go out for a walk at this time, and it’s too early to go to bed.

Jiang Ning planned to dig the fish pond again, otherwise his father Jiang would have to dig for a long time alone.

So he changed into dirty clothes and continued to work.

Dad Jiang also changed his clothes and went down the pit, and both father and son joined the battle together.

Work until nine o'clock, take a shower and go to bed.

Winter in Australia is not that cold, but it is a bit unbearable without heating.

Air conditioning can't compare with floor heating.

Feng Xue went to bed early and covered herself tightly.

Jiang Ning was able to tolerate cold weather and only got into bed after taking off all his clothes.

Touch it.

Feng Xue didn't even take off her clothes.

Jiang Ning asked her, "Are you cold?"

Feng Xue gestured, feeling a little cold.

Jiang Ning hugged her and gave her some warmth.

Feng Xue gestured and asked him if he was tired from working.

Jiang Ning said: "I don't feel anything. This is just a piece of cake."

Feng Xue leaned her face on his shoulder and hugged his waist with her left hand.

Jiang Ning also hugged her, and after a while, he felt the warmth in the quilt.

Then he pulled at his clothes: "I'll take off your clothes for you."

Feng Xue raised his body and cooperated with him to disarm.

……

The next day, the family drove to the ranch.

I first went to see Jiang Hua’s ranch, which is half an hour’s drive from the town.

The ranch he bought for his brother is much bigger than his own, almost twice as big, with a little over 10,000 acres. When he took over, there were more than 3,000 beef cattle. He bought a lot more over time, and now has more than 10,000 cattle.

When Mr. and Mrs. Jiang have nothing to do on weekends, they will bring their granddaughter here for a visit.

Just think of it as inspecting the property for my son.

The car just entered the ranch.

Jiang Tingting stood in the middle from behind and declared her sovereignty: "Uncle, this is my father's cattle farm."

Jiang Ning laughed and touched his head with his hand: "Yes, it's your father's cattle farm."

Dad Jiang was driving today and he sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Tingting was very happy, as if she had got her favorite toy.

Zhang Yulan patted her granddaughter and said, "Sit still. Why are you so proud? The cattle farm was obviously bought by your uncle."

The little girl didn't believe it and loudly declared her sovereignty: "Grandpa said this is Dad's cattle farm."

Zhang Yulan said: "Your father's was also bought by your uncle."

The little girl didn't understand and was a little confused.

When we arrived at the ranch, the hired workers were harvesting hay.

There are artificial pastures all over Australia, so there is no shortage of pasture grass. However, due to the continuous droughts in the past two years, large areas of pasture have died from time to time, especially in Victoria. Many farmers who grow pasture grass have lost all their money.

There is a great demand for pasture grass and the price is quite good.

Today’s ranches rely on selling grass for their livelihood.

After chatting with the employees, the ranch manager brought the financial report for Jiang Ning to review.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang come here just to take a look and never look at these things.

can not understand!

I only take a look when Jiang Ning comes over.

After a few glances, I had a general idea of ​​it.

In the first half of the year, we slaughtered 2,000 beef cattle and earned more than 5 million yuan. The income from selling grass was relatively higher. Up to now, the income from selling grass is more than 23 million yuan. After deducting various expenses, the rest was used to buy cattle, so there is not much left.

“I won’t buy any more cows.”

After reading the financial report, Jiang Ning thought for a while and made adjustments.

The ranch manager was puzzled: "Boss, according to the ranch's conditions, it can carry at least 30,000 cows."

Jiang Ning asked, "What if there is a disaster year and the grass production decreases?"

The ranch manager thought: "Boss, you are right."

Jiang Ning is certainly not afraid of drought or disasters. The water resources here are still abundant and the rainfall is not small. Even if the forage production decreases in a disaster year, the most he can do is reduce sales, and there is no problem with self-sufficiency.

He was thinking about decades later.

Normal breeding without external intervention is reasonable.

Even if he is your biological brother, he can’t help you for your whole life.

Tens of thousands of acres is neither small nor big.

It depends mainly on where.

If it were in my hometown, it would be quite large.

In this place in Australia, it's just a small ranch.

There is no need for airplanes to herd cattle, cowboys herd cattle on horseback.

Jiang Ning asked the workers to bring a few horses and prepared to inspect the area on horseback.

Dad Jiang didn't dare to ride a horse. Every time he and Mom Jiang came, they would just drive around and take a quick look. He had never ridden such a thing since he was a child. He could just walk a few steps on the horse when someone led him, but it was too difficult for him to ride at full speed.

Jiang Ning dared to ride, even though he had never ridden a horse before.

He picked a big blue horse, took the reins and climbed onto the horse's back.

The horses raised on the ranch have all been tamed long ago.

He has a gentle temper and won't get angry.

Even if he is wild, that’s no problem. He can even tame a yak.

What is a horse?

"drive!"

Jiang Ning shook the reins and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs again.

With a shout, the big blue horse snorted.

He trotted away carrying him on his back.

Jiang Ning has been agile and well-balanced since childhood, which can be considered a gift.

Although he has never ridden a horse, he is very strong.

His legs were clamped around the horse's belly, as if he was actually attached to the horse's back.

As the horse bounces along, there is no need to worry about falling off.

After running a lap, I feel like I have mastered the key points.

He waved to Feng Xue and said, "Come on board, let's go for a ride on horseback."

Feng Xue waved his hands quickly and dared not ride.

This thing looks very unsafe.

If you fall down, you will probably break your legs and arms.

Jiang Ning got off the horse and stood beside him, saying, "Don't worry, you won't fall off. You ride in front and I'll hold you."

Feng Xue's pretty face turned red, but she still waved her hand and dared not to ride.

Jiang Tingting jumped up and down: "Ride a horse, ride a horse, uncle, I want to ride a horse."

Jiang Ning was speechless, so he said to Feng Xue, "Then you and your parents go back to the field office and wait for me."

Feng Xue nodded.

Jiang Ning leaned over, picked up his niece and put her on the horse's back.

Then he got on the horse, holding the reins with his left hand and holding the little girl with his right hand.

"Be careful, don't fall..."

Mother Jiang was so frightened that she couldn't help but shout out.

Jiang Ning responded, shook the reins, and clamped his legs around the horse's belly: "Go, let's go."

This time he clamped it with a bit of force, he was so strong.

The big blue horse was pinched and felt pain. It neighed loudly, raised its four hooves and ran away.

Children don't know fear.

Jiang Tingting sat in her uncle's arms and giggled excitedly.

It was my first time riding in a BMW convertible, and it was such a thrill.

Grandpa didn't dare ride a horse and had never taken her riding a horse before.

Uncle is still the best...

There are some phenomena about ranches in Australia. The larger the ranch, the cheaper the unit price, and the smaller the ranch, the higher the unit price. Of course, this is not absolute, but a common phenomenon. In fact, it is not limited to Australia.

The same goes for other places.

The small ranch is highly developed and the unit is naturally high.

The bigger the ranch, the greater the development investment. In fact, many large ranches are not very developed and basically rely on the weather, so the unit price is still cheap. This ranch is the same, and some areas are still sparsely forested.

Jiang Ning took a look around and felt that there was still potential to be tapped.

When I got back to the site, I asked for a sketch.

Pointing to the sketch, he set a five-year plan for the ranch manager, aiming to plant high-quality forage grass in all undeveloped areas of the ranch within five years. The yield of wild forage grass was too low, and the output was far inferior to that of artificially grown high-quality forage grass.

Have lunch at the ranch at noon.

A big pot of stewed potatoes and beef, with toasted bread and squeezed chicken nuggets.

Foreigners’ diet is too monotonous, there seems to be nothing else except these.

The beef stew is also hard to describe.

Life on the ranch is actually very monotonous.

The cattle and horses in my hometown may think that this kind of life is very leisurely, but after experiencing it for a while, they will find that it is boring. No matter how good the pasture is, you will get tired of it after seeing it for too long. As for those cows, who likes to see that thing?

After lunch, we drove to Jiang Ning’s ranch.

This ranch is about the same size as the Fairy Farm.

Originally I raised sheep, but the sheep were worthless, so I disposed of them all.

He bought more than 10,000 cows to raise.

No matter what industry you are in, a layman will become an expert after working for a long time.

Jiang Ning may not be an expert, but he is not completely ignorant about breeding.

Xianling Farm raises a lot of cattle and sheep for its own consumption, some good and some bad.

Whether beef and mutton taste good or not is directly related to what you eat.

To be honest, although Australian cattle are free-range, their beef is actually not as good as that from the Fairy Farm.

There are more than a dozen kinds of forage grass grown in Xianling Farm. Different forage grasses can provide different nutrients. Two of the saline-alkali grasses are wild grasses that are the favorite of cattle and sheep. Jiang Ning spent a lot of effort to cultivate them.

Livestock, like humans, need salt.

The delicious mutton at Xianling Farm has a characteristic, that is, there is salt grass in the pastoral areas. Sheep can replenish salt by eating salt grass, while cattle and sheep need to be fed salt regularly. The difference here is very big.

Even many free-range cattle and sheep need to be fed.

Cattle on Australian ranches are also fed salt.

How can industrially produced salt be the same as naturally grown salt grass?

Australia has salt-alkali grasses, such as Salicornia herba and Tall Icegrass.

But animals either don't like to eat these things or they are poisonous and cannot be eaten in large quantities.

Jiang Ning brought a batch of grass seeds with him this time. He took them out and handed them to Avicii: "These are some saline grass seeds I found. You can arrange for someone to try planting them on the ranch to see if they can survive."

Avicii was quite curious: "Salt grass?"

Jiang Ning said: "Yes, don't you think it is better to let the cows supplement salt through grass rather than feed them salt?"

Avic said: "That's better, of course, but most salt-alkali grasses contain some indigestible or even toxic ingredients, so cows can't eat too much. In addition, many salt-alkali grasses have poor palatability, so cows don't like to eat them."

Jiang Ning said: "These are what cows like to eat. You can try to see if you can grow them!"

Avic said, "OK, growing saline grass requires groundwater. Different soils and climates will definitely produce different grass. I don't know where the boss got these saline grass seeds from. Even if they are grown, cows may not be able to eat them."

Jiang Ning said: "That's why I want you to do the experiment."

Avicii said: "Okay, I will come up with the results as soon as possible."
