Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 245 Visiting the Farm

"hehe!"

"Manager Reagan, you have to eat your meal one bite at a time! We Chinese have an old saying that goes, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.'" Hou Xiaoge knew that foreigners spoke directly.

Reagan didn’t understand the ancient Chinese saying, but he understood that the hot tofu was too hot.

“Come, Mr. David, let me tell you about these farms.

Among these farms, according to the requirements you gave, I think the one with 2,900 acres best meets the requirements.

The farm is located twenty miles outside of Los Angeles and only two miles from the nearest road.

The farm has a small river running through it, a small lake of 150 acres, and 150 acres of woodland, all of which can be cut.

The bulk of the land is 1,900 acres of grassland and 600 acres of farmland.

This farm has mountains and water, and most importantly, there is a small pier by the sea, and the three-nautical-mile coastline around the coast that touches the farm is the farm's private fish farm.

As for the price, this location is a little bit higher, one acre is $130, and the fish farm will cost an additional $100,000." Reagan explained to Hou Xiaoge one by one while looking at the slides on the wall.

Although Hou Xiaoge has his own space, it is less than 100 acres, and the exchangeable acres are only a dozen acres.

Looking at the vast land, lakes and coastline on the black and white slides, I was almost drooling.

"Damn it, no wonder so many people want to be big landlords! More than 2,900 acres is equivalent to 20,000 mu of land.

If converted into square, it would be thirteen square kilometers. Wow, it directly owns the land area of a large administrative village in the future.

And there's a pier and a shoreline and even a fish farm.

If this person is a bit lazy, he can just lie down and not work hard. ” Hou Xiaoge was very happy.

"Well! Not bad, let's talk about other things." It is still necessary to compare prices from different stores.

Reagan then talked about several other farms, which were either too far away from the city, or lacked water, or had too little farm land and too much pasture.

However, Reagan casually said that the farm next to this one was also for sale, and its area was three times that of this farm, and the conditions were similar to this farm, which made Hou Xiaoge envious.

"Manager Reagan, I would like to see this farm in person and see what it is like," Hou Xiaoge asked.

"OK!"

It was impossible not to take a look at such a big deal, so Reagan certainly agreed.

After leaving the bank, Hou Xiaoge complained in his heart when he saw Reagan driving a Mercedes-Benz car that was more luxurious than his own.

"These damn bankers are really rich!"

The farm is very close to Los Angeles, just half an hour's drive out of the city.

"Mr. David, this is the Kent Farm." When Reagan arrived at the farm gate, he pointed at a gate with deer antlers hanging on it.

Several people stood at the gate of the farm and did not go in, but waited outside.

In America, entering a property without the owner's permission will be considered an intruder.

Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait. The farm was so big that only one person could come in a day. Reagan returned to the car and honked inside.

The house was only about 100 to 200 meters away from the farm gate, and the sound of the horn could be heard clearly in the open field. Soon a bearded man came speeding over on a motorcycle.

"Yellow-skinned Asians, what are you doing here at Kent Farm? This is private territory, you are not allowed to come in." The bearded man had a very aggressive attitude, and if he hadn't seen the car they were driving and the gun they were holding, he would have probably cursed at them.

When Hou Xiaoge heard the foreigner being called "Huangpi", she was so angry that she almost took out her gun and shot him. The bastard was too bad at talking.

But he still held back. After all, this guy just said "yellow skin", which was considered a good attitude in America. He had heard people calling him "yellow skin pig" in many places he passed by.

At that time, he was so angry that he used his mental power to trip the other party, causing these guys to fall to the ground with their mouths broken.

Hou Xiaoge ignored this guy and turned his gaze to Reagan for questioning.

"Hey! Ross, you reckless guy, do you still want to do this? This is the financial sponsor of our bank.

Ross, you should be nicer, Mr. David may be your boss in the future." Reagan came up to Ross and whispered.

"Saury! Saury."

"It turns out that you are Manager Reagan's client. I thought you were an intruder. I'm sorry. I apologize to everyone." The bearded Laws was startled and quickly apologized to Hou Xiaoge, who was in the lead.

Hou Xiaoge waved his hand and said there was no need to bother with this low-level cowboy.

“Mr. David, this is Rouse, a cowboy employed by our JPMorgan Chase Bank, temporarily serving as the caretaker of Kent Farm.

Rouse has been a cowboy on Kent Farm since his father's generation, and he grew up on this farm.

If you want to know about this farm, Rouse must be the one who knows it best.” Reagan introduced with a smile.

"Hi! Nice to meet you, Mr. Ross." Hou Xiaoge smiled and extended his hand.

"My name is Ross, nice to meet you Mr. David." Ross smiled and extended his hand.

"hiss!"

As soon as their hands touched, Hou Xiaoge hit the other person hard, causing Ross's face to turn red with pain.

"Mr. Ross, are you okay? Why is your face red? Are you shy about shaking hands?" Hou Xiaoge asked deliberately after letting go.

"No, Mr. David, I just thought of my first love. I apologize for your rudeness." Ross turned his trembling and pale hands behind his back and looked at Hou Xiaoge in fear.

"Well! First love is always beautiful. There's no need to apologize. Didn't you apologize just now? Next, just help me explain the farm seriously." Hou Xiaoge said generously, waving his hand.

"This is what I should do, Mr. David, Manager Reagan, please." At this time, Ross was so polite that he was like a waiter.

Reagan just glanced at Ross curiously, returned to the car, and led the way in.

Hou Xiaoge opened the window and began to visit the farm. Wheat was planted on the outskirts and the road was a gravel road. There were calf-high wheat seedlings along the way, indicating that this year should be a good harvest.

Being from rural areas and Chinese backgrounds, both Hou Xiaoge and the other people in the car were very happy when they saw the green wheat.

"Mr. David, do you want to go in and take a rest first, or go on a tour now?" Reagan asked when everyone arrived in front of a villa.

"Go ahead and take a tour! No need to rest." Hou Xiaoge waved his hand.

"Okay, Ross, go to the warehouse and drive a tractor out." Reagan ordered Ross who was standing aside.

Although there are airplanes in this era, small farms are naturally not equipped with them. Even if there are airplanes, they are not helicopters, so the view is not clear. It is better to take a tractor or ride a horse.

Helicopters had just been invented at that time and were mainly used for combat. Even if they were used for civilian purposes, they were owned by large farmers. Ordinary landowners had no choice but to give up.

"No need, Ross, do you have a horse? Harness one for me and I'll ride it." Hou Xiaoge refused directly, saying that riding a horse was more convenient.

"Mr. David, how are your horse riding skills?" Reagan asked worriedly.

"Manager Reagan, I have a natural affinity for animals and I'm very good at riding horses." Hou Xiaoge smiled and reassured him.

"That's fine. I can also do some horse riding to exercise and lose some fat." Reagan nodded and took over the conversation.

"Afa, Brother Liu, do you guys want to ride horses?" Hou Xiaoge asked Huang Jiafa and several hired guards.

"OK!"

Several people nodded immediately. During those days, when the railway was being built or when people went out to work, the Chinese who didn't have cars would ride horses.

"Then, Afa, you and Lao Liu come with me! The rest of you can rest here for a while." Hou Xiaoge ordered.

"Yes!"

"Whoa!" Hou Xiaoge walked to a chestnut horse led by a cowboy and casually took out a piece of grass from the space in his hand.

Space grass all has a hint of spiritual energy, and animals are most sensitive to it. After eating it, they become extremely affectionate to Hou Xiaoge and keep rubbing him with their horse heads.

"Ha ha!"

"Gee!" Hou Xiaoge jumped onto the horse, flicked the whip lightly, and the horse galloped out.

I didn’t notice the other colors yet, I just felt a gust of wind passing by.

"Oh! Mr. David is such an excellent rider." Seeing that Hou Xiaoge and the horse cooperated very harmoniously, Ross exclaimed in admiration.

There are farms all around, and it's really endless as far as the eye can see. This is only six hundred miles, or more than three thousand acres of farmland.

The farmland is so vast that you can't see the end of it. You have to know that the big one is a pasture, so it must be very big.

After riding around for ten minutes, the view in front of us suddenly opened up and the vast pasture came into view.

"Reagan, isn't your bank taking over this manor now? Why are there so many cattle and sheep?" Hou Xiaoge asked Reagan while looking at the huge herds of livestock in the distance.

"Mr. David, this estate has only been acquired for less than a month. We have only dealt with part of it, and some breeding cattle and sheep have been temporarily retained." Reagan said on the side.

"Royce, how many cattle and sheep can these pastures raise?" Hou Xiaoge nodded and asked Royce.

“Mr. David, we have always adopted a model of free-range and pen-raising. We can raise 15 cattle and 60 sheep on one acre.

Kent Hall now has 1,935 acres of grassland, which can support 30,000 head of cattle or 120,000 sheep at any one time.

Now the pasture has no owner, so it is just maintained at the minimum level, with 10,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle," Rouse explained.

"Hiss!" Hou Xiaoge gasped in shock after hearing this.

"Damn it, this is capitalism! It smells so good, I'll make a fortune if I take it back." Hou Xiaoge felt so happy when he heard this data.

"So how much does a cow cost now?" Hou Xiaoge didn't understand the prices here.

"Sir, because of the war in recent years, the price of beef is still very good. A 900-pound fattened cattle can be sold for thirty-five US dollars." Ross replied.

Hou Xiaoge calculated in his mind that a cow was only worth 130 dollars, which was indeed much lower than in China.
