Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

To be honest, this was Yang Dongxu's first time to visit a foreign breeding farm. In the past, he thought that if he had money, he would buy a large piece of land abroad and build a Daxing farm. From now on, everything he eats at home would be produced by himself and consumed green and safe food.

As a result, after years of digging holes that could not be filled, there was no time to realize this idea. The two families first visited a beef farm in a small town not far from the German capital.

The environment in foreign countries is indeed much better than that in China, especially in rural areas. When you walk on the streets in the city, you may still smell the smell of urine and even see all kinds of garbage that have not been cleaned. You must know that there are no rats on the streets of London, UK.

Not afraid of people. The smell of urine on the streets of New York can be smelled from any distance.

However, the environment in the suburbs and rural areas is indeed very good. There are no plastic bags flying around, and there are no bottles littering the ditches after being sprayed with pesticides.

It’s not clear whether the water is clear and can be drank directly, but you can see the green aquatic plants and swimming fish. The surrounding greenery is also very good, mainly because the German population is not so densely populated in the countryside except in the big cities.

For example, in the small town in front of you, there are tens of thousands of acres of farms around, 90% of the land is owned by some large farmers, so there are not many scattered small farmers. The entire town is considered a market gathering place except for some permanent residents.

Except, there were no other people at all.

Naturally, no one will help you plant things in every corner. After all, people want to cultivate large areas of land. And the Chinese people’s farming is imprinted in their bones. If you don’t see anything on the land, you won’t be able to plant anything.

My whole body feels uncomfortable up there. Foreigners obviously don't have this hobby. They would rather lie on the lawn and take a nap if they have this free time.

The eldest sister and Zhou Ya took their children to play with a group of town children who were on vacation in the town park. After all, the weather is still quite hot. Although it has been windy for a few days, the children's skin is so tender that they will easily get sunburned if they are exposed to a little bit of sun.

So when we went to visit the farm, Yang Dongxu and Liu Leehom were the only representatives. Even Ran Feifei, the aunt who contacted the farm owner, stayed in the park and did not follow.

The farmer was contacted by Ran Feifei through the food supplier, so the other party was very enthusiastic and personally drove a pickup truck to take the two of them to visit the farm.

I didn’t see any beef cattle that had two holes cut into their stomachs and then watched what they were eating. The laws for foreigners are sometimes quite dumb. For example, in some countries, to kill lobsters, you need to freeze them unconscious first, and then kill them. They say they kill them alive.

inhuman.

But two holes were made in the calf to observe the cow's eating and digestion. So the two big holes were said not to affect the cow's health, and no one said it was inhumane. In short, it was quite speechless.

Basically, the cattle raised in foreign countries are different from the cattle raised in China. Due to the development of rural breeding industry, the breeds of foreign cattle breeding are basically a few fixed breeds of beef cattle.

Unlike in China, there are domestic cattle, cattle raised on pastures, and even buffaloes from the south and yaks from Tibet. In short, there are local breeds in every place, and no one seriously studies one breed specifically for breeding.

And use this to create a good brand.

Therefore, when purchasing beef from a foreign country, just ask what kind of beef the farm produces and what the quality of different parts is. Basically, they are all very similar.

Of course, there are also some famous special beefs, such as Japanese Snow Beef. In fact, although Yang Dongxu is delicious, it is not a glutton.

When eating beef brisket with potatoes, or steak, or braised beef, he really can't tell whether it's yellow beef, Monte beef, or top-quality snowflake beef. The mutton can be tasted according to the smell and the texture of the meat.

The degree is divided into two levels: chickens and ducks can taste it, but beef can't really be tasted.

Unless a certain kind of beef cattle is raised on feed all the time, and the taste difference is as big as the taste difference between domestic free-range chicken and farm feed instant chicken, it is really hard to tell the difference.

"Originally I wanted to build a free-range cattle farm, but unless we go to Tibet and Inner Mongolia to provide a playground, we can only raise cattle in captivity and not free-range cattle." Liu Leehom said helplessly after walking around the cattle farm.

It is obviously impossible to become a nomad on the Tibetan Plateau, but it is not that difficult to get tens of thousands of acres of land for you to grow pasture and start a cattle ranch under other identities.

It is basically possible to contract 10,000 acres of land in rural areas, which involves a large number of farmers, let alone tens of thousands of acres of land. China's urbanization is not good, and the land is scattered in the hands of farmers. Every rural person has his own.

My own land is very fragmented.

If they want to gather together, even when Yang Dongxu is reborn, the only way is for the government to take the lead and collectively contract. But those are basically contracts for several thousand acres, not tens of thousands of acres, let alone tens of thousands of acres.

And even if tens of thousands of acres of land are contracted to you, the contract price per mu of land is enough for you to buy a farm abroad. This is not an exaggeration at all.

For example, in the next few years, the price of rural contracted land will continue to rise. 500 yuan is the normal price. By around 2018, it is generally 800 yuan per acre, and even 1,000 yuan per acre.

Even if it is calculated at 800 per mu, the price of contracting 10,000 acres of land is 8 million. At this price, you can contract a large farm in a South American country like Brazil, even in Germany or the UK.

Moreover, 8 million yuan is not a one-time contract for several years or ten years, but a contract fee of 8 million yuan every year. However, after buying the farm, in addition to paying taxes, the farm is basically privately owned permanently. This comparison makes the cost difference.

Many times.

Therefore, captive breeding in China is the most suitable way of raising animals. If you want to raise them free-range, you can only go to places with natural geographical conditions in Tibet and Inner Mongolia. If you want to raise free-range animals in other places, you will basically lose money.

"If you really want to build a large-scale beef farm or something, and the domestic environment is really not suitable and the cost is too high, you can consider doing it abroad. If you think Europe and the United States are too far away, you can do it in Russia. I have connections there.

It can ensure the safety of you and the farm, and can give you a large piece of land." Yang Dongxu suggested.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's very difficult. First of all, let's not talk about whether your sister and little Belle are used to living abroad. Even my parents can't let me run that far, even if Russia is

Neighboring countries." Liu Leehom smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He does have a dream of a big farm, not just a breeding farm, but a comprehensive planting and breeding farm is what he has always wanted.

It would be perfect if the farm was big enough, with a stream or a lake or something like that. When I have nothing to do, I usually go for a ride on a horse, get a lounge chair under the shade of a tree and take a nap, with a fishing rod next to it.

Comfortable.

In fact, when he went to Da Siheyuan a few years ago, he was very moved when he saw Yang Dongxu fishing in the pond in his yard. However, in recent years, due to the groundwater in Yanjing, the water quality of the ponds in Da Siheyuan has not been good.

.

Yang Dongxu had no choice but to put a waterproof layer underneath, occasionally let Cui Ma or Aunt Hua change the water, and raise some ornamental fish in it. Such a pond has undoubtedly lost its soul, that is, it was regarded as a scene when he lived in the courtyard, and it no longer exists.

Instead of the old comfort of moving a lounge chair next to it.

"If you really want to go, just find a suitable opportunity to ask Zuozuo Ideological Work. If you really want to do free-range farming, we have connections at home and abroad so you don't have to worry about selling. It is indeed more promising than if you circle a few hills in your hometown.

A lot." Yang Dongxu patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.

This matter can only be decided by Liu Leehom himself. After the eldest sister and her family decide, whether it is to contact the farm or do something else, it is actually a trivial matter.

"Let's talk about it when we get a chance. I originally came to visit foreign breeding farms with high expectations. Now, although I feel that they are doing a really good job, I no longer have the mood to continue visiting." When I think of the price of domestic land,

, Liu Leehom suddenly lost his mind to thinking about setting up a large-scale free-range farm in China.

So after walking around for a while, they felt that they had no energy left. The two of them simply said goodbye to the farmer and returned to the town. They wandered around the town with their family.

When traveling abroad, if you don’t want to travel to big cities or see some iconic buildings and historical relics, it is actually a good choice to enjoy the slow-paced rural life in a rural town, and it also costs a lot of money.

Not to mention it doesn’t cost much, and it doesn’t feel crowded like a city or in China.

"What's wrong with my brother-in-law? I see that he is depressed after he comes back?" After playing until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the group of people started to get in the car and go back to the city. Zhou Ya held her son, who was tired from running all morning, in her arms to make him sleep more comfortably.

Some.

"As for the farm, my brother-in-law wants to build a large-scale breeding farm, or even a large-scale integrated breeding and planting farm. This is not easy to do in China.

Even if it didn't make any money, it would still be a loss. After all, the price of domestic land was too high, so let's do it abroad. He was also afraid that his eldest sister and children would not be used to life abroad, and his parents would probably not agree.

Or maybe he himself is not sure whether he can adapt to life abroad." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.

"This can only be decided by him. If the eldest sister agrees and his parents don't have any objections, they can give him a farm. If the family has different opinions, and even he himself is not sure, we can't help him."

"That's the truth. To be honest, when I first started making money, I had two ideas. One was to buy a house as an apartment, and the other was to have enough money to build a big farm.

You can rest assured that everything you eat will be home-grown green, you can ride a horse when you have nothing to do, and then sit by the lake and go fishing. It’s not too nice.” Yang Dongxu couldn’t help but have a look of yearning on his face.

"It's wonderful to think about retirement life in advance, but you only see the leisure side of the farmer. Think about managing so many cattle and sheep every day, cleaning the manure in the breeding pen, and harvesting grass...every day

There are so many things to be busy with.

How long will it take for you to be as comfortable as you want? If you leave the farm to others without asking any questions, you probably won't be able to enjoy it that way.

So what you actually want is either a farm or a pleasant leisure time after owning a farm. But you will get tired of living like that after too long.

So instead of setting up a farm, just like raising chickens to eat eggs, it is better to treat it as a vacation and leisure project occasionally, and find a suitable farm to travel to if you have something in mind. When you feel nothing, just leave without procrastination.

"

"Listening to what you said, I think it feels a bit like this. I just want the leisurely life of a farmer, and I don't really want to be a farmer." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but smile and nodded.
