Happy Little Mayor

Yak dinner on Saturday night.

The town erected a shelter in the square. The residents here are descendants of Eastern European immigrants, so the building also has an Eastern European style. There is a circle of rough stone pillars on the square, and the shelter can be sheltered from the wind by pulling up the shed.

This carnival is a chance for the ranchers to gather together and let everyone communicate with each other and carry out activities together. It's not really something to enjoy.

The Yak Club has been around for a long time. It was one of the earliest clubs on the South Island. At first it was just a few small ranchers. They had little money and gathered resources far away to help each other. .

Today, the club still retains some of its past traditions.

They drank hard liquor and ate dry grilled meat. There was no good wine and no particular dishes. Everyone gathered around the bonfire and sat down and talked freely.

There is an episode here. Before the meal, the town sheriff also came to check their alcohol permit: According to the New Zealand alcohol control regulations, alcoholic beverages of this size need to be approved for approval in advance.

At the beginning of the carnival, Leonard stood in the middle of the venue with a microphone and introduced the new members of the club. They were called calves.

The club receives not many members each year, less than ten this year. Wang Bo did a grand finale, and the last one was introduced. Leonard said that he is the only Chinese rancher in the club now.

Wang Bo got up and greeted everyone, ran around a bonfire, and met many ranchers.

Back before his bonfire, he asked strangely, "There are no Chinese ranchers in the South Island? Shouldn't it? We Chinese are quite a lot in New Zealand."

Motak was drinking ale while holding a large tea pot, explaining, "Of course, there are many Chinese, but most of them stay in cities, such as Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin. In fact, Your compatriots seldom engage in ranches, even less in ranches, and yaks only accept ranchers. "

"Several people have come before, such as one from Anthony from Taiwan, right? But they are not very good at managing ranches, and they have all gone out of business by going bankrupt." Moses added.

Another rancher slammed his mouth and said, "Oh, quit the industry. Now the animal husbandry is too difficult to mix. I ca n’t handle it a bit. Damn, this year ’s drought in the South Island. The price of forage has increased. Going down, I will sooner or later go bankrupt. "

Others echoed: "Yeah, **** it, God isn't leaving us a way of life. It's been a quarter since this year, but has it ever rained?"

"Your Marlborough area is pretty good, we can only be miserable in Canterbury! Schott, the groundwater is drained!" Moses complained.

"Old Moses is right. Marlborough is in a good situation. Their Canterbury and our Otag are, damn, almost going to be abandoned by the horse!"

At this time, someone looked at Wang Bo and said, "Wang, how are you there? We heard that your ranch is very profitable now!"

Wang Bo took a sip of white wine and sighed, "It's okay, I can still supply water by leaning on the Twin Lakes. But animal husbandry is a whole, it's all glorious, it's all bad. It ’s not easy. "

In fact, he is comforting a group of people. His life should not be too good, the heart of the pasture will be upgraded, the growth rate of cattle and sheep will increase, and the material of pasture will not be said.

However, he was not affected by the drought at all, not to mention Shuangzi Lake, but two Lingquan, enough to supply the water needed for animal husbandry.

Motak lifted the cup in his hand and said, "Respect this **** world!"

A group of people raised their glasses and complained.

Now the ranchers are most concerned about the weather. After drinking, Motak looked enviously at the drizzle and said, "If the city continues to rain, I plan to move the ranch here, and see, the rain is abundant here. . "

Gormont, who was with Wang Bo during the day, came over and said, "This is a national park. You want to do animal husbandry here? Ha, how are you going to buy New Zealand politicians to allow you to come?"

"I'll give them a slap, hey, cousin, look at what you've made of this country." Motak grabbed the next fat, and slaps two fat on his fat face, of course, Didn't take it.

The two fat faces are aggressive, lying down, what does this have to do with me?

Listening to the laughter around it, it was very dissatisfied, showing its claws and tearing on the back of Motak's hand. The Maori rancher sucked in the air in pain, the two fats got rid of it, and immediately flew into Eva's arms.

These two little guys are very visionary. They have been released. Eva is more protective of them than Wang Bo. Now that there is something wrong, they no longer seek Wang Bo's asylum but instead go to Eva.

The beauty teacher smirked and patted two fat ass, then apologized to Motak.

Motak didn't care, he scratched the back of his hand, picked up the liquor and poured it for disinfection, and that's it.

Then they talked about the situation of pastures. Due to drought, the price of pastures has increased by 12% compared with the same period last year. Now dry pastures cost more than $ 150 a ton, and it became difficult to feed animals.

An old man came over and asked, "Do you want to buy a ranch? I plan to sell my ranch."

Moses looked at him in surprise and said, "I said Lao Wensi, aren't you kidding me? Sell your ranch? Is it 980 acres, isn't that your lifeblood?"

Wang Bo calculated that 980 acres is close to 4 square kilometers, which is smaller than his pasture, but it is also a large pasture.

The old man sighed and said, "Well, you know how bad the world is now, and business is not easy to do. I'm getting older and don't have that much energy to take care of it, so I might as well sell it."

"Are you really willing? You worked hard all your life before you changed to such a ranch."

Motak handed the old man a glass of ale, and the old man took a sip and said, "I really don't want to, but it's time to retire. My two sons are in the United States, and one of them asked me to go to Hawaii for retirement, so I thought, then Why don't I go? "

"How much do you sell?" Wang Bo asked.

The old man listened to him asking for the price and looked at him and said, "What about the price of $ 6.5 million? With real estate, 10 bedrooms, all with masonry roof structure, 3 roads, or Interchange of Highway 82 and 83. "

Wang Bo thought about it. The price of ranches in New Zealand is not the same. For example, ranches close to metropolitan areas such as Auckland and Wellington can sell $ 5 million for 10,000 square meters. When his sunset ranch was just developed, For five or six square kilometers, it can only sell for half a million dollars. (To be continued.)
