Chapter 4 Simmental Cattle

The little donkey is very clean, its coat is a brownish-gray color, and its mouth and round, plump belly both exhibit a beige hue. Beneath its neck, it has a small golden bell hanging, which jingles as it walks.

If time were pushed forward by twenty years, this police officer would certainly not dare to speak to him in such a manner; otherwise, the label of racial discrimination would be placed upon him, and no one would be able to bear the consequences. However, it is still 1990, and the young Black man is clearly not very happy, feeling irritated but holding it in, nodding to indicate that he has heard.

Han Xuan coquettishly said: "I don't want later, I want this now"

Well... it just needs a grandson to cooperate, the old cowboy's gaze instinctively turned to his side.

The internet had just emerged, and life was far from being as rich and colorful as it would later become. Even a bit of gossip or strange news could become a topic of conversation over dinner, let alone such adorable little animals

In the 1990s, the Australian mini donkey was not as famous as it is today, while its counterpart, the Falabella mini horse, was widely known in the Americas. Their ultra-small size and adorable appearance quickly made them precious pets

The Australian mini donkey widened its adorable eyes and looked at Han Baobao

With its long ears standing tall, it seemed uneasy under the gaze of the crowd, quietly seeking refuge beside Han Baobao

The calves at Albert Ranch are indeed raised quite well. Old Barton and John took turns selecting and replacing the unhealthy calves, and they did not finish until it was completely dark.

Father Han is holding the baby, and the baby is holding the donkey. Along the way, the little bell rings continuously, producing a very crisp sound

A companion, a passerby, looked at him with a gaze of an idiot and slowly said: "Have you ever seen a horse with such long ears? It is clearly a donkey, alright."

You are truly understanding

The habit of watching the excitement is not unique to our country; these foreigners have also surrounded the street in layers. The chubby donkey feels somewhat anxious, trying hard to shrink his entire body behind Han Xuan.

"Yes, sir, can I buy this mini donkey?" Han Xuan asked.

At that moment, a young Black man shouted from a distance to the patrol officer: "Sir, have you seen a little donkey?"

Moreover, this is originally a marketplace; if the owner did not intend to sell it, they would not have brought it here.

Han Xuan casually handed the banknotes to the young man. After he finished counting, he hugged the chubby donkey with both hands and playfully said, "Can I go now, uncle?"

Angus cattle are relatively smaller in size compared to other breeds, and their selling price is significantly lower. Therefore, at the suggestion of Old Barton and John, Han Qianshan plans to raise some other breeds this time, such as this beautiful Simmental cattle in front of him

The ranchers sat modestly by their respective fences, showing no intention of soliciting customers

At this moment, his gaze was clearly directed towards Han Qianshan, a middle-aged Chinese man with a Chinese child, and even a fool could deduce the relationship between them

Without interjecting, he cooperated with his son and instantly revealed a look of sadness, nodding his head and saying, "We won't buy it, okay? Daddy can't afford it, but Daddy will work hard to earn money, and I will definitely buy it for you in the future"

Han Qianshan shook his head and said, "I will only know after I visit your farm. I may still need around 1,300 Angus cattle."

Father Han looked at his son in surprise, and after a moment of reflection, he understood.

The patrol officer got into the police car and left this place without looking back

Han Qianshan also politely extended his hand

The market is open-air

Thank you for your compliment, sir

The little fat donkey seemed to sense something, its body stiffened, and all that could be heard was the boy's voice beside it saying: "Fatten it up a bit more, just right..."

Ah! Han Xuan's small head nodded quickly, secretly cursing his unscrupulous father.

I just didn't expect that Han Bao Bao, with a similarly small stature, is not much larger than the bewildered donkey. It's no problem at all, as long as it can cover the eyes! Didn't we see those ostriches doing the same back in our hometown in Australia?

Tilting his head, he inhaled the pleasant scent emanating from this human, and only then did he feel at ease

Han Baobao was feeling quite cheerful inside, thinking that as long as he was willing to sell, it would be fine. However, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked sadly at the young black man: "But my dad only has 2,000 US dollars, uncle. I really want this little donkey."

Alright

A contract was signed with the assistance of a lawyer, and a check for two hundred thousand dollars was left as a deposit

Old Patton thought about whether he should give it a try one day

The crowd looked at the patrol officer with deep meaning, gradually dispersing in small groups to attend to their own matters

After a moment of feigned deliberation, I gritted my teeth and said: "3000! For just 3000 US dollars, you can take it away!"

Only a fool would believe anyone

The young Black man rolled his eyes and said: "You probably can't afford this little guy yet; you'll have to wait until you earn some money, or get your family to agree. Just 5,000 dollars, only 5,000 dollars and you can take it home."

The patrol officer finally understood what the gazes of those people meant, his face slightly flushed, and he unhappily looked at the young black man and said: "It's right here! You damn kid! Keep an eye on your stupid donkey!"

Ah, this little rascal

The young Black man suddenly found himself in a difficult position; not to mention 5,000, for most Americans today, even having 2,000 dollars in savings is a challenge. It is only these Chinese individuals who enjoy saving money and prefer cash transactions

Han Baobao turned around and reached out to touch the big head of the little chubby donkey, whose long fur was very soft. Curiously, he turned his head to look around, wanting to find its owner. Return it? Don't joke, such an adorable creature is definitely going to be bought and taken home to keep for oneself to play with

The young black man suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said: "Alright, little guy, it's 2000 yuan, but I want cash!"

Han Qianshan has indeed become addicted to acting, pretending to be in a difficult situation. The young man was truly about to jump in frustration. Han Xuan hurriedly tugged at her father's sleeve and continued to act cute: "Good father, please just buy it. I promise I will behave and listen at home from now on"

Just call me Han. Yes, we need a batch of medium-sized Simmental cattle. They look really well-raised, and Mr. Barton, who is quite experienced, has taken a liking to them at first glance. May I ask how many of these calves you have?

Uncle, but we only have this much money left, is it really not possible?

Upon careful consideration, it is evident that my ranch is almost entirely populated by tall American Quarter Horses, as well as even taller Appaloosas. Given my current rate of development, it seems unlikely that I will be able to indulge in horseback riding within the next ten years

It is not a lack of money; the most important thing is to seek enjoyment. Truly interesting Chinese people

Han Baobao lowered his head and chuckled, isn't this just a horse? Moreover, it has come to him willingly.

After speaking, Han Xuan walked to Han Fu's side, tugged at the corner of his garment, and turned back three times with a reluctant expression on his face

Outside the car window, the sky is filled with stars, and a hint of lush green can be faintly seen.

After a long while, the young man finally reacted, feeling as if he could spit out three liters of blood in frustration, muttering to himself: "So it turns out he is a wealthy man, money... you..."

The little chubby donkey is lying on its side, sleeping on the back seat.

Old Patton timely handed a stack of 2,000 Franklin bills to Han Xuan, having counted them in advance. In the eyes of the old cowboy, the young master was indeed quite clever

After speaking, he ran out without looking back, and not long after, he brought along two white ranchers and drove to their ranch.

After speaking, his eyes appeared slightly red, as if he would immediately start crying the moment his father said he wouldn't buy it, a true father-son drama

Yes

The young man hurriedly approached the mini donkey, disregarding its resistance, and embraced its large head in his arms, exclaiming in a rapid-fire manner like a machine gun: "My dear baby, you really had me worried sick."

It seemed that something had come to mind again as he looked up towards the direction in which the patrol officer had disappeared, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and only then did he notice the little boy beside him

Not far away

Not far away, the patrol officer thought a fight had broken out and hurriedly rode over, struggling to squeeze into the crowd, and immediately spotted the child and the little donkey.

He continued, saying: "May I ask, sir, how many cattle do you need for your ranch? I can currently provide around 500 heads. If that is insufficient, give me two days and I can gather more calves. Rest assured, the price will be fair! We British never lie in business."

He is very enthusiastic and intelligent. Upon seeing someone approaching, he said in a voice thickly accented with London intonation: "What a lovely child! And this adorable Australian donkey, it is my first time seeing them after such a long time in America"

Han Xuan had long been charmed by it, and the passersby around him wore similar expressions. Among them, one passerby curiously whispered, "What is this? Is it a Falabella miniature horse? It's so adorable."

The rancher sports two small mustaches that curl upward, his attire does not resemble that of an American, but rather carries a hint of British style

Oh? Which poor family spends 2000 US dollars to buy a pet for their child? And who is that old man giving the money?

He waved his hand to disperse the crowd: "Alright, alright, everyone disperse! It's just a mini horse."

Albert immediately recognized that a great business opportunity had arrived, and he praised Old Barton with a handshake, saying: "You truly have an eye for quality; the calves on my ranch are the best!"

The Simmental cattle, also known as the Red Flower cattle, is a breed originating from Switzerland. Its body is interspersed with white and yellow patches. Not only can it be used as a beef cattle, but it also produces an impressive annual milk yield of up to 4 tons. An adult cow can weigh as much as 1,200 kilograms, and its meat quality is also quite excellent

Han Xuan rested his head on its belly and dozed off, soon falling into a deep sleep

Occasionally, someone would approach to inquire, and only then would I respond with a few words

Albert was truly delighted; he did not expect to encounter such a significant transaction right at the opening. He quickly nodded and said, "Sir, rest assured! I will call my two neighbors. This way, the total number will be sufficient for you to select the calves you are satisfied with. Please wait a few minutes, I will be back shortly"

The boss then extended his hand to Han Qianshan: "My name is Albert, good day sir, do you need to buy cattle?"

Some people have raised horses their entire lives yet have never seen one this small, and upon closer inspection, they realize, oh, it is actually a donkey

Haha, young master, you are truly impressive! You saved a full three thousand dollars! Old Barton chuckled, his big nose twitching with excitement. In America, prices are generally fixed; even if there is room for negotiation, the discount is usually minimal, unlike now where it has been cut by more than half.

Politely declining Albert's suggestion for them to stay for dinner, the Ford pickup truck drove along the path with its yellowed headlights, heading back towards the Snow Mountain Ranch.

Father Han lowered his head to look at his son's small face and teased, "Is that really so, baby?"

This is indeed a rare big business, after all, the little donkey was smuggled over and did not cost much money

Donkey

It must be said that the baby is indeed adorable, and like myself and the Chinese, we are all part of a vulnerable group here. The young Black man, in a relaxed demeanor, said to the little boy: "I'm sorry, uncle has to take the little donkey back. Little friend, do you have anything else to say?"
