从雪山牧场穿过一条黑色的护栏分界线,再往前就是史密斯牧场地界,两个合并起来整体接近正方形,因外当年买地都是直接拿尺在地图上划,所以才会呈现出这种奇怪的现象。Thispastureterrainis similar to Snow Mountain Ranch, about30%hills, highalso more than 20meters, otherare the plains.

被霜霉病和蚜虫肆虐过后,牛羊被赶到幸存的草原上,放牧最怕遇到天灾,比自然灾害更可怕的是牲口疫病。

牛仔将手放在眼睛上方挡住阳光,抬头看见这架熟悉的飞机,意识到未来的老板过来巡视了,在地上挥手大叫,远处其他人看见,也挥鞭策马向这边奔跑。Father Hanseesthis.

牛仔一看到他就急切问道,对于放牧为生的这些人,丢掉工作再想找并不是件容易的事,自由惯了,也受不了上班那种可怕的约束感。„Icame back a SeattlefromVancouver, signed the contractwith a native of Horw. Nowonlywaitsto register the transfer.”
“我从温哥华回来去了趟西雅图,跟霍尔夫人签完合约。现在只等去登记转让。”

“现在有七千多头圣格鲁迪牛。五千多头比利时蓝牛,养的羊比较多。跟收购商有合作,澳大利亚雷兰羊有将近三万头,都养了十个多月,只不过最近没好草料喂它们,生长速度变慢了。”Ryansaid that a varietyrefers to frontthesepeoplelooks: „ Thesebig fellowis the SaintstandardRudycow, can as longasoneton. Doesn't Snow Mountain Ranchseemto raisethem?

“……以后史密斯牧场怎么办?”瑞安担心道,扭头看了看围过来的同伴,“这里有一百六十多位员工,你好像用不到这么多人。”Father Hanis shocked, Snow Mountain Ranchare more than hereperson, buttheirmatterare also many, looks but after the horses and oxen and cowconsumes the timevery much, maymergetrulyto look afterwithless than more than 400cowboys, there are300peopleenough.韩父愣住,雪山牧场比这里人还多,但他们事情也多,照顾但马牛和奶牛都很耗时间,可合并起来确实用不到四百多位牛仔照顾,有三百人就足够。„My familyrented a block10,000acresopen landnear the Augustatown/subdues, the preparationtransformed the vegetablesplanterarea, therealsolacked the manpower, ifwanted, that side canfirstgo.”
“我家在奥古斯塔镇附近租了块一万英亩的荒地,准备改造成蔬菜种植区,那里还缺人手,假如愿意的话,可以先去那边。”Han Xuanunderstands that hisworry, the connection said that „ wantsto come to the pasture to take turns, every dayherdsdoes not like.韩宣明白他的担心,接口说道,“想来牧场能跟人轮换,每天放牧也不喜欢吧。

“真的?”Sidehas a cowboyto hearthissaying, worriesfrom the horseback, has not stepped onfell the buttockspillarsteadily.
旁边有个牛仔听到这话,着急从马背上下来,没踩稳摔了个屁股墩。At presenttheirwageshourly wage5US dollars, the dailyeighthourly wages1200US dollars, ineconomically underdevelopedMontanaare the goodwage.
目前他们工资时薪五美元,算起来每天八小时工资才1200美元,在经济落后的蒙大拿已经是不错的薪水。Roseall of a sudden1/3alsomany, every yeardraws bonusalsoover a thousandUS dollars, the brainmiraculous glowcalculatesactually notinstantaneously,last monththeyhave pondered over, evenplantsareain additionSnow Mountain Ranchto altogether have more than 540staffto find out, is waiting forthese words.
一下子涨了三分之一还多,每年分红还有上千美元,倒不是脑子灵光瞬间算出来,上个月他们早就琢磨过了,连种植区加雪山牧场共有五百四十多位员工都摸清楚,就等着这句话呢。„Un, Iearn, yourwagesare also more, thereforedoeswell, hereforage grassinsufficientwords, rush toSnow Mountain Ranchto go the cattle, has not harvested.” The Father Hanracket the Rui'anshoulder, goes straight there and comes straight backdoes not needto turn round, theylikethisset.
“嗯,我赚得越多,你们工资也就越多,所以好好干吧,这里牧草不够的话,就把牛羊赶到雪山牧场去,还没收割。”韩父拍拍瑞安肩膀,直来直去不用拐弯,他们就喜欢这一套。„Good, Boss!”
“好的,老板!”Rui'ansays: „Right, has not congratulatedyou.”
瑞安开口说道:“对了,还没恭喜你。”„Congratulations? Hasanythingto congratulate,...... the pasture, haha.”
“恭喜?有什么恭喜的,啊……牧场啊,哈哈。”„It is not, Boss, don't youknow the gold ore the matter?”
