“Let’s go!” After a lunch at the Philemon’s home, Jiang Hai waved his hand at Robbins and Bell, who had nothing to do today . They rode on Robbins’ modified snowmobile towards the forest in the distance .

Now because of the snow, which is more than a dozen centimeters thick, the cows aren’t released to graze because the energy required to find grass is higher than the energy they get .

Of course, Jiang Hai’s grass is no ordinary grass, but Robbins did not know that and Jiang Hai didn’t want to tell him .

Right now it’s better to let these cows grow fat in the barn, because as the cows stay in the barn, there are fewer cowboys needed to maintain them, such as keeping the barn ventilated, cleaning the cows, collecting dung, feeding, adding water and occasionally brushing the cows . That’s all . The original five cowboys were previously busy every day, but when winter came, they instead had some time off . Of course, they are under rotation . Those who are taking the day off can do something unrelated to the bullpen, such as…going around the manor to see if the fences are broken, repairing the machines, maintaining the house, etc . Yes, even if it’s called a “day off” it just means that they won’t be dealing with the cattle temporarily .

Compared with the cowboys, Edward-Anderson, who was the only fisherman, is much more miserable . He has to go to sea once a day, and the sea breeze blows on his face, which feels like getting cut . If it was Jiang Hai, he wouldn’t be able to stand it .

That’s why, Robbins and Bell, who are resting today, patrolled the surroundings of the manor this morning . This is why the surroundings of such a manor need to be inspected every day, especially in winter . During winter, the beasts in the mountains will be in need of food . If they break down the fence, enter the manor, and hunt cattle and sheep, then it will be a big problem for the manor, of course, there is another problem, that is to guard against intruders .

Therefore, it is necessary to patrol around the manor every day . As for the maintenance of houses and machines, you don’t have to pay too much attention because these houses were built to last .

There is no such thing as cutting corners, every villa is made of reinforced concrete, and the roof is the same . Except for needing to shovel snow up every spring in order to avoid water seepage, the houses have no problems .

Most of the machines were brand new, so naturally there will be no problems .

So during their day off, these people are only busy for half a day, and they can still do their own things in the afternoon . But this afternoon, they had to accompany their boss to go hunting .

“Hoo…” With the sound of the engine, three snowmobiles hurried away towards the woods in the distance .

Long before the arrival of winter, Robbins dismantled three of the four-wheel motorcycles(ATV?) that Jiang Hai had bought .

He didn’t completely dismantle it, he just took off some parts and the four tires .

A cowboy like this who could perform such a transformation is handy .

He changed the front wheel of the motorcycle to two sled boards, because the four-wheel motorcycle that Jiang Hai bought is very big . Two more sled boards were needed to make it float on snow .

As for the propulsion device, a chain-belt track is used, which is placed in the rear, with a sled slightly behind it . Such a snowmobile can not only run on snow but on land as well, but of course, since there are no tires won’t travel very fast, but there is no way to use tires in the snow .

This is not the first time Jiang Hai rode such a vehicle . Although riding it doesn’t feel that nice, at least it looks good .

After travelling through the snow, Jiang Hai and company parked their motorcycles just outside the woods .

Then they put on snow boots, equipped their weapons and walked into the woods . Of course, Jiang Hai brought his two followers, Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai . These two guys looked very interested in going to the woods .

This forest was planted by the former owner of the manor . The original idea was very simple . Plant trees that can be used to block the wind from the sea . If it is really necessary, these trees can be cut down later to build a house, etc, they can even be sold for extra income . But unfortunately, the tree didn’t even reach full maturity before the previous owner went bankrupt, and finally sold the manor to the auction house .

The trees here, after years of growth, can now be said to be full grown . The trees on the US side are also different from chinese trees . The types of trees typically planted in the north of the country are basically types of birch and willow . Pine, cypress, etc .

There are some of these trees here, but they are not many . According to Robbins, there are more than 5,000 trees in Jiang Hai’s forest, of which 2,000 are oak trees . This kind of tree can grow up to more than 30 meters .

This kind of tree is also found in China, but it is not commonly used . Because the wood from this tree is too soft, so it is not very popular in China . In China these trees could be used in two ways . One is to use it to build a house and the second is to use it to make furniture . But if you use this kind of soft tree to build a house, the house would probably collapse, and making furniture would not be ideal since it’s weak to moisture and insects .

This tree is not very popular in China, but in Europe and America, this kind of tree is quite popular, because this kind of tree is the best raw material for wine barrels used for storing red wine .

The price of oak barrels is expensive in the US and Europe . This manor has a winery so naturally, these oaks are prepared for them . In addition to the oak trees, of the remaining 3,000 trees . 1,800 of them are maple trees . There are plenty of these trees, which is the national tree of Canada, here in the US . This tree is also used to create maple syrup which is not cheap .

In fact, Jiang Hai could have collected maple syrup this year, but he did not . At the time, his focus was more on raising cattle .

In addition to these two main trees, there are many other trees here, some are originally planted here by the previous owner, and some are brought here by other seabirds . So it looks a little messy .

It is mainly dominated by willow, pine, cypress, and birch trees from the north; there are also some cherry trees, black walnuts and other trees . Which even Robbis did not know when Jiang Hai asked .

With the footsteps of the three people, they also slowly penetrated into the woods . As soon as he walked in, Jiang Hai saw the animal . It was a squirrel, standing on the branch of an oak tree, looking curiously . Jiang Hai and his party .

With only the sound of their footsteps, the three people walked deeper into the woods . As soon as they walked in, Jiang Hai saw an animal, it was a squirrel, standing on the branch of an oak tree, looking curiously at Jiang Hai and his party .

The squirrel is very curious . Obviously, it hasn’t seen anyone for a while, which is quite unexpected .

But it was only a squirrel so Bell and Robbins didn’t care much . Jiang Hai just glanced back, but Xiaobai who probably saw this thing for the first time approached the tree where the squirrel was and stared at the squirrel .

In the human world, looking at the other party’s eyes is a polite expression, but in nature, looking at each other’s eyes is provocative .

Therefore, this squirrel, which usually has almost no natural enemies here and considered itself the king in this small forest, got angry .

“Squeak!” As it roared on the branch, it also took out an acorn from the hole next to it, using all its strength, it threw the acorn at Xiaobai who was staring at it .

“Hoo! Bang…” As the acorn traveled a distance of more than ten meters, and hit the head of Xiaobai, the squirrel became extremely proud . In its point of view, Xiaobai who was hit, should be scared away, because in this forest, almost 90% of the animals will run away from this blow . It believes that the force from this blow is extremely strong .

But it is a pity that this little guy, who has never seen a dog, is in for a little surprise!

“Roar, roar, roar!” After being hit by the squirrel with an acorn, Xiao Bai was also angry, and he roared for the first time, and when Jiang Hai and the others, who were walking ahead, heard this . They were all surprised so they looked behind only to find Xiao Bai fighting with a squirrel which made them speechless . Bell used his eyes to signal Jiang Hai, to stop Xiao Bai, or else if he keeps this up, they were going to return empty-handed .

Although Jiang Hai is a rookie, he is not stupid . Naturally, he knows that they need to be quiet while hunting . Is it really good to make some noise? So he moved back to make Xiaobai shut up, but the squirrel didn’t wait for Jiang Hai to move . The squirrel on the tree saw that the acorn didn’t make Xiaobai run away so it became angrier . It threw another acorn and hit Xiaobai .

Although Xiaobai already had the consciousness to dodge, the acorn still hit its back .

Although it didn’t hurt, Xiaobai was irritated . This little guy dared to throw things at him . How could he endure it!

As Xiao Bai roared, he rushed towards the tree, but it forgot that it could not climb trees!

So he crashed on the big tree with his heavy weight . Although this hit is very straightforward, the weight of a hundred pounds can’t be underestimated . This hit made the oak tree shake .

At this time, although the squirrel standing between the branches was not shaken down, it scared him a little, and after the initial fear, he got a little more angry . This big black monster dared to resist! The squirrel was very upset, so he was ready to go back and take another acorn to teach him, but he hadn’t gotten far when the force of shaking just now shook the snow on the top of the tree .
