052 I Want to Have a Home

Chen Chen did not relax after the truffle digging season. Although he would still date Emily and would go to Jason's house for a small gathering. However, Chen Chen was very busy and still had a lot of things to deal with.

For example, his soil management company was established in Jason's garage. It has a simple and crude name. But Chen Chen knew that this was the most vivid and vivid, but most people would definitely not think of the company's true competitiveness.

It is probably necessary to advertise, but before that, Chen Chen once again urged his parents to prepare to come to the United States.

After finally making some money, he was ready to start buying some industry. This was a small success for Chen Chen. In this case, he naturally had reason to share the joy of his success with his family, which was very necessary.

From the west coast of more than ten degrees above zero to Montana, where it was about ten degrees below zero, Chen Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

But this is something that Chen Chen must accept, because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the land price is relatively cheap. In this case, Chen Chen naturally has enough reason to consider settling here and developing his own career.

In the United States, there are many farms and ranches of all sizes. On the west coast of California and Oregon, there are naturally farms and ranches. However, the land prices there are relatively high, so the area of ​​large ranches is relatively small.

In Texas or Montana, if it is just a few hundred acres of pasture, it is a small ranch. Thousands of acres are not big, because there are also some pastures with an area of ​​more than 10,000 acres, which is not very rare.

Chen Chen listened carefully to the land brokers, American agricultural land also requires taxes. It is only relatively cheap. Compared with one or three percent of property tax, the price of land tax does not exceed 0.5 percent, which is a relatively cheap price.

The ranch that Chen Chen liked this time was also the most popular Montana, which was vast and sparsely populated.

Located in the central Montana area, in the west of Billings, the industrial and commercial center of animal husbandry and irrigation agriculture. If you look at it according to the map, it is actually on the left side of this small city with less than 100,000 people.

It is closer to Yellowstone Park. In fact, if it weren't for the Rockies, Chen Chen wouldn't have chosen it.

He started preparing a long time ago, looking at the quotes of some ranches and studying some of their information. I dare not say that it is definitely the most suitable one, and it is not necessarily the high-quality ranches in the eyes of others, but it is definitely suitable for Chen Chen.

This was originally a large ranch with an area of ​​more than 5,000 acres, but because of excessive livestock farming and some maintenance and poor maintenance, all of this caused the price of ranch to fall. The most important thing is the excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers. Although it once made the pasture look lush, the price of ranch is essentially falling.

The soil's pesticides and fertilizer residues are too high, and the quality of the forage grass decreases, so the beef raised will naturally become average.

Rancher Michael Johnson doesn't want to worry about this ranch anymore, and he is not young anymore. He wants to move to a big city, and he wants to enjoy his old age. He has been in this ranch that can only support his family for most of his life, and he needs to enjoy the sunset.

The land price is Chen Chen’s most satisfied with, because the land price of this ranch is lower than the market price, and soil is the most fundamental reason. Even after 2013, the appreciation of agricultural land prices in the United States almost reached a new high, but the price of ranch in Montana is still relatively cheap.

This pasture with too high pesticide residues cannot be sold at an average price in Montana, and this is a low-quality pasture.

"Can I borrow a horse?" When I arrived at the ranch, Chen Chen was not polite, "I want to ride a horse and see."

Johnson, wearing a cowboy hat, nodded and smiled, "If you buy this, I can give you three horses from the stable."

Chen Chen smiled. This is not a valuable Arab horse, nor a horse that can be used on the track. This is the most ordinary horse, three very mediocre Quarts, but one such horse can also cost about a thousand dollars.

Chen Chen stepped on the horse without hesitation. His horse riding was quite skillful and smooth, and he had worked in the ranch.

Leaving the sight of the farmer and the land broker, Chen Chen immediately pulled open the collar of the down jacket.

Groot immediately came out and raised his little head and smiled at Chen Chen.

"Aren't you cold?" Chen Chen looked down at Groot and said with a smile, "If you feel cold, then we can only go back to California. If you feel cold, then let's see if there is any value for rescue here. We settle here."

Groot immediately obediently slid down the zipper, stood on the saddle and brewed his emotions, and jumped down.

It is winter after all, and the pastures at this time are no longer green grass. The grass is either harvested or withered, and coupled with some sporadic snow, this makes the pasture look very desolate and cannot be said to be a beautiful scenery.

Groot, who fell to the ground, immediately narrowed his eyes and the thin roots under his feet plunged into the soil.

Chen Chen also jumped off the horse, squatted down and looked at the little tender leaves on Groot's tree crown head, to see if there is any price for rescue in this land. This is a very important thing for Chen Chen and something that Chen Chen must pay attention to.

Soon, Chen Chen saw that turbid water mist began to appear on Groot's young leaves, slowly condensing.

Chen Chen, who frowned, knew that the soil quality here was not good, otherwise it would not be a quotation of 1,200 US dollars per acre below the market price. Remember, this is the quotation, and it can still be bargained, and the transaction price can be completely cheaper.

"Damn, this rancher is really raising cattle with pesticides and fertilizers!" Seeing Groot absorbing some toxins in the soil, Chen Chen couldn't help but say to himself, "The price of this guy's ranch is too high. If I want to say, rancher who pursues a little bit will not buy such a low-quality ranch!"

This is what Chen Chen said in his heart. Although the price of a ranch is not as good as a farm, and the ranch in Montana is not as good as a ranch in California. However, the price of a quotation of 1,200 acre per acre in front of him is really too much.

About an hour later, Groot opened his eyes, shook his body aggrievedly, and hugged his head with his short hands.

Chen Chen felt very distressed and hurriedly hugged Groot, "I know, the ranch here is too bad! We won't buy it, otherwise you will be really tired, I feel so distressed!"

Groot was immediately happy and rubbed his head against Chen Chen's face with his little tree crown. He was not unable to bear the detoxification just now, but just because he took the opportunity, Groot would act coquettish. This was a matter of no hesitation. This was a child who would definitely act coquettish.

Groot pointed to the ground and the mountains looming in the distance, looking very excited.

He likes it here, Groot likes Montana.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Chen asked, "Groot, then tell me, how much area do you have to digest if you have almost disappeared?"

Groot immediately ran happily, and Groot knew better how much soil toxin residue had been digested.

Chen Chen also ran with Groot, and his mind began to keep calculating.

The area of ​​about half acre is about 0.5 acres, which is about three acres. Excluding some land, the amount of pesticide residues is relatively low, but it is also necessary to realize that the pesticide residues in some areas may be higher.

"If we work four hours a day, it would be two acres." Chen Chen began to calculate and felt some pressure, "After a long time, I'm worried that it will affect you. And we also have to play games and live, which will take some time."

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Chen asked, "Groot, can we work hard for a while? After settling here, we have almost a home!"

Groot was even happier now and finally had a home!

When moving constantly, sometimes there is no sense of belonging. With a small nest of your own and land, I can really feel much more at ease. And for Chen Chen and Groot, they can finally stabilize!
Chapter completed!
