The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

To be honest, it is also the first time for Yang Dongxu to visit foreign farms. He used to think that if he was rich, he would buy a large piece of land abroad and set up a Daxing farm, and then he would produce all the food at home and eat green and safe food.

As a result, the pits dug continuously over the years have not been filled and there is no time to realize this idea. The two families visited the beef cattle farm first, 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. Walking on that street in the city, you may still smell urine and even see all kinds of garbage that has not been cleaned up. You must know that rats on the streets of London, England, are not afraid of people at all. The smell of urine on the streets of New York can be smelled from far away.

However, the suburban and rural environment is really good. There are no flying plastic bags, and you can't see all kinds of bottles thrown away after spraying pesticides in small ditches.

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

For example, in the small town in front of you, 90% of the tens of thousands of acres of farms around are owned by some big farmers, so there are not many small farmers here and there. The entire town is deserted except for some permanent residents who are regarded as a market gathering place.

Naturally, no one will plant things for you every corner and corner, after all, people want to farm and have a large piece of land. Moreover, the Chinese people's farming is imprinted in their bones, and they feel uncomfortable when they see the land without planting something on it. Foreigners obviously don't have this hobby, and they would rather lie on the lawn and sleep for a while when they have this spare time.

The eldest sister and Zhou Ya took their children to play with a group of town children on vacation in the small town park. After all, the weather is still quite hot now. Although it is windy for a few days, the child is prone to sunburn after a little exposure to the sun.

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

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

Didn't see the beef cattle that made two holes in their stomachs and watched them eat. Sometimes the laws of foreigners are quite silent. For example, in some countries, when killing lobsters, you need to freeze them unconscious before killing them, saying that killing them alive is inhumane.

But two holes were made in the calf to observe the feeding and digestion of the cow, so the two big holes did not affect the health of the cow, 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. Because of the development of the rural breeding industry, the breeds of the foreign cattle industry are basically a few fixed breeds of beef cattle.

Unlike China, where there are domesticated cattle, there are also pasture-raised cattle, and there are even southern buffaloes and XZ yaks. In short, there are varieties in every place, and no one seriously studies a variety for special breeding, and uses it to make a good brand.

Therefore, when purchasing beef from a foreign country, you only need to ask what kind of beef is in the farm, and then the quality of different parts is basically the same.

Of course, there are also some well-known special beef, such as Japanese snowflake beef. In fact, although Yang Dongxu is delicious, he is not gluttonous.

When eating beef brisket with potatoes, or steak, braised beef or something. He really couldn't figure out whether it was yellow beef, Monte beef, or top-quality snowflake beef. Mutton can be divided according to the smell of mutton and the degree of tenderness of the meat. Chicken and duck can be tasted, but beef can't be felt.

Unless a certain kind of beef cattle grow up eating feed all the way, the difference in taste is as big as the difference in taste between domestic free-range chicken and farm-feeded instant chicken, and the rest is really unclear.

"Originally I wanted to set up a free-range cattle farm, but unless I go to XZNMG to rent a playground, I can only raise them in captivity and there is no way to free-range." Liu Lihong said helplessly after walking around the cattle farm.

It is obviously impossible to be a nomad on the XZ plateau, but it is not so difficult to get tens of thousands of acres of land for you to plant pastures and run a cattle ranch in other identities.

Basically, if you can contract 10,000 mu of land in the countryside, it will involve a large number of farmers, let alone acquire tens of thousands of mu of land. China's urbanization is not good, and the land is scattered in the hands of farmers. Every rural person has their own land, which is very scattered.

If you want to get together, even when Yang Dongxu is reborn, you can only do it under the leadership of the government and collective contracting. But those are basically thousands of acres of contracts, not many tens of thousands of acres, let alone tens of thousands of acres.

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

For example, in a few years, the price of rural contracted land will continue to rise. 500 is the normal price, and by about 18 years, it will generally be 800 yuan per mu, and even 1,000 yuan per mu will be quite a lot.

Even if it is calculated on the basis of 800 acres, the price of 10,000 acres of contracted land is 8 million. At this price, you can contract a large farm in a South American country like Brazil, even if you come to Germany or the UK.

And 8 million is not a one-time contract for several years or ten years, but an annual contract fee of 8 million. But after the farm is bought, in addition to paying taxes, the farm is basically privately owned permanently, and the cost is many times worse than that.

Therefore, captive breeding in China is the most suitable breeding method. For free-range breeding, you can only go to places where XZ and NMG have natural geographical conditions. It is basically a loss to engage in free-range farming in other places.

"If you really want to build a large-scale beef cattle farm, the domestic environment is really not suitable for the high cost, so you can consider doing it abroad. If you think European and American countries are too far away, you can do it in Russia. I have connections there, It can guarantee the safety of you and the farm, and can get you a big piece of land." Yang Dongxu suggested.

"It's very difficult. First of all, let's not say that your sister and little beauty are not used to living abroad. It is impossible for my parents to let me go so far, even if Russia is a neighboring country." Liu Lihong shook his head with a wry smile.

He does have a dream of a large 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 and had a stream, or a lake or something. When you have nothing to do, take a stroll on a horse, get a reclining chair under the shade of a tree, and put a fishing rod next to it, which is not too comfortable.

In fact, when he went to the big courtyard a few years ago, he was also very moved when he saw Yang Dongxu fishing in the pond in his yard. However, due to the underground water in Yanjing in recent years, the water quality of the pond in the courtyard has not dropped.

Yang Dongxu had no choice but to build a waterproof layer underneath, and occasionally asked Mama Cui or Aunt Hua to change the water and keep some ornamental fish in it. And such a pond will undoubtedly lose its soul, that is, when living in a courtyard house, it will be used as a scene, and it will no longer be the comfort of moving a deck chair next to it in the past.

"If you really want to go, find a suitable opportunity to ask about ideological work. If you really want to practice free-range farming, we have connections at home and abroad and don't worry about selling. It is indeed more promising than a few hills in your hometown. There are many." Yang Dongxu patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.

This matter can only be done by Liu Lihong himself. When the elder sister's family decides whether to contact the farm or do other things, it is actually a trivial matter.

"Let's find an opportunity to talk about it. I came to visit foreign farms with great expectations. Now, although I feel that they have done a good job, I don't have the mood to continue visiting." Thinking of the price of domestic land , Liu Leehom instantly lost his mind to build a large-scale free-range farm in China.

So after walking around for a while, I felt that I had no energy, so the two simply bid farewell to the farmer and returned to the small town. Hang out with the family in the small town.

If you do not want to travel to big cities when traveling abroad, or to see some iconic buildings and historical relics. Going to a rural town to enjoy a slow-paced rural life is actually a good choice, and it doesn’t cost too much money, and there is no city or the crowded feeling of the country.

"What's wrong with brother-in-law? See how unhappy he was when he came back?" After playing until four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people started to board the car and go back to the city. Zhou Ya hugged his son who was tired from running all morning in his arms to make him sleep more comfortably. Some.

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

Even if it doesn’t make any money, it’s still possible to lose money. After all, domestic land prices are too high, so let's go abroad. He was also afraid that his elder sister and children would not be used to living abroad, and his parents probably would not agree. In other words, he himself is not sure whether he can adapt to life abroad. "Yang Dongxu said helplessly.

"This is up to him. If the elder sister agrees and his parents have no objections, it's fine to give him a farm. The family's opinions are not unified, and even he himself is not sure, so we can't help him."

"That's the reason. 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 money to build a large farm.

Everything you eat is home-grown green, don't worry, you can ride a horse if you have nothing to do, and then sit by the lake and fish or something. Don't be too happy. "Yang Dongxu couldn't help showing a longing look on his face.

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

How long does it take for you to be as comfortable as you think you are for a day? If you entrust the farm to other people and don't ask yourself at all, you probably won't find that feeling when you enjoy it.

So what you actually want is not a farm, but the pleasant leisure time after owning a farm. But that kind of life will get boring after a long time.

So instead of building a farm, it’s like raising a chicken to eat eggs. It's better to treat him as a vacation and leisure project occasionally, and find a suitable farm tour after thinking about it. I don't feel it anymore, just leave without procrastinating. "

"Hearing what you said, I still feel a little bit like this. I just want the leisurely life of a farmer, not really wanting to be a farmer." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded with a smile.
