Chapter 10 News from the seed store

Due to time constraints, Lisa only prepared traditional German farmer’s meals.

This traditional German dish has only four ingredients in total: potatoes, onions, eggs and smoked bacon.

There is no vanilla or butter that is unfamiliar to Chinese people.

Simple, affordable, and neither fancy nor fancy, working people all over the world have a common sentiment towards food.

Everyone got a big plate full of food.

Guo Yang looked at this exotic food and took a bite first, but unexpectedly found that the taste was okay.

He gave Lisa a thumbs up and said, "It tastes really good."

Then he ate it with big mouthfuls.

Every bite contains charred onions, smoked bacon, fried potatoes that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and soft and delicious eggs, but only salt and black pepper are used for seasoning.

Watching Guo Yang gulp down the rice, Lisa and Victor looked at each other and smiled softly.

Fran could not help but say in an emotional tone: "After eating this plate of farmer's meal, it felt like a pair of warm hands were calling me. I miss my Mary."

"You're not afraid of losing all your money, and Aunt Mary will beat you up when you go back." Catherine said from the side.

Then she stood up and gave Guo Yang more food and said, "Eat more."

Guo Yang was surprised, has this woman changed her gender?

But Catherine showed a charming smile and said: "You can go to work in the fields when you are full. If you can't drive a tractor, you can help with other things."

This feels right, Guo Yang thought.

Just can’t drive the tractor?

Guo Yang felt that it was more and more necessary for him to show off himself.

After a while, Catherine picked up the prepared lunch box and got on the small tractor in the yard, saying: "I'm going to deliver lunch to John."

Seeing this, Guo Yang also stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you. You can help me get familiar with the environment. I'll help your brother work directly later."

Then he stood directly on the tractor. The platform behind the driver's seat.

Catherine didn't hesitate at this time and calmly asked Guo Yang to hold the support firmly, then started the tractor and drove towards the field.

Guo Yang admired the beautiful scenery of the farm all the way, and from time to time looked at Catherine's braided golden hair in front of him, her fair skin, and smelled the faint fragrance.

I feel that this quiet farm life is also very beautiful.

But he doesn't belong here.

Suddenly, Guo Yang wanted to return to his country, to his northwest.

Gobi, desert, sea water, grassland

Oasis, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, rivers.

The eagle soars, the mountains are green,

The grassland is vast and there are flocks of cattle and sheep.

That’s where he belongs!

Victor's farm covers a large area, and most of the area is planted with various pastures, mostly alfalfa.

Due to abundant rainfall in Germany, alfalfa can be harvested up to 4 times during the growing period from March to September, effectively utilizing the repeated growth ability of alfalfa and obtaining high nutrient content and digestibility. .

On the slightly higher ground of the pasture is an undivided cowshed built with side fences and open ridges. This housing method ensures that cows have free access to food, water and a comfortable resting environment.

Feeding and management are also more convenient at the same time.

In addition, the farm also has a pond covering an area of ​​about 10 acres and nearly 20 acres of forest.

Through the cowshed, there are continuous corn fields and wheat fields. Guo Yang also saw soybeans mixed in the wheat fields.

I learned from Catherine that corn silage is grown in the field, and wheat is also used as feed for dairy cows. Soybeans are sprinkled in to increase the nutritional content of the feed.

But there are only six or seven people managing such a large farm. I have to say that the degree of mechanization is really high.

Most farms in Germany can meet most of the carbohydrates needed for animal growth by growing pasture, corn and cereals.

Another important component of farm livestock feed is protein, most of which need to be supplemented with soybeans imported from places such as Brazil, Argentina and the United States.

Due to good natural production conditions, production costs in these countries are lower.

On the side of the wheat field, there is another large area of ​​pasture.

From a distance, Guo Yang saw pieces of alfalfa that had been cut down and were being spread on the grass to dry. The scene looked very spectacular.

In the middle of the pasture, a silage crusher is using a picking header to crush alfalfa, and then pours it from the spray port onto a two-axle trailer pulled by a high-horsepower tractor running side by side.

Catherine drove the small tractor directly into the field and pressed the horn several times.

The harvester and the truck then stopped.

Only then did Guo Yang see clearly the models of the silage machine and tractor, Claas JAGUAR695SL and Fendt 930, which just started production this year. Fortunately, they are all agricultural machinery that Guo Yang knows something about.

Claas JAGUAR695SL is a self-propelled silage harvester launched by Claas Company in 1988.

According to historical development, Claas expanded the JAGUAR900 green storage harvester series in 2008. By 2023, there are still many second-hand machines circulating in the market, and the prices are still generally above one million yuan. .

A young German man with a face somewhat similar to Victor got out of the car and walked over. The older white man next to him should be Endri, the only employee of the farm.

Catherine took out a dinner plate and put a farmer's meal on each of them, and said at the same time: "This is Guo Yang who came to Europe from China. He is a friend of Uncle Fran and came specially to visit our farm. . ”

After a few simple greetings, John and Endri began to feast.

But at this time, a long-lost voice came from Guo Yang's mind.

"Ding, we found agricultural machinery that can be parsed, do you want to parse it?"

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect news from the seed store at this time.

Analysis of agricultural machinery?

He remembered that this function was not included in the initial introduction, and it had not been triggered for so long before!

Looking at the farm machinery in Victor's farm in front of him, Guo Yang had a guess.

Could it be that these two agricultural machines triggered the hidden function of the seed store?

I think I have been busy buying lottery tickets overseas recently, and I have no chance to trigger it.

No matter! Give it a try first.

So he silently chose ‘yes’.

"Ding, the natural energy is insufficient and cannot be analyzed. It is recommended to collect agricultural machinery data and save it first."

"How to collect and save it?"

"Ding, the host uses the body to touch and control the agricultural machinery. The store can collect and save the information by itself, and then analyze it when it has natural energy. "What is the technical information?"

He also has a certain understanding of agricultural machinery production. , if only technical data were available, it would be difficult to reproduce agricultural machinery based on China's current industrial base.

"Ding, the technical information is only part of it. There is a certain probability that mechanical fragments can be analyzed."

"Mechanical fragments?"

"Mechanical fragments are part of the seed after-sales service and can be used for related Agricultural machinery is being upgraded.”

So awesome! This time Klass is really awesome.

Guo Yang's mood became hotter than he had seen in a long time.

These are all good things, and he urgently needs them.

Developing the Great Northwest requires the purchase of various large-scale agricultural machinery, and Guo Yang has already made preparations.

One of the purposes of his visit to Hanover this time was to purchase some urgently needed heavy machinery at the Hannover Agricultural Machinery Show.

For example, high-horsepower tractors, heavy-duty deep cultivators, pasture machinery, etc.

But now it seems there is another path.

It's just agricultural machinery production and manufacturing...

Another gold-swallowing behemoth.

Guo Yang doesn’t know if he can withstand the one billion in his pocket.

After coming back to his senses, Guo Yang asked sister and brother Catherine: "Can I go up and try?"

"I can let you go up and visit, but it's best not to activate it. "This is one of the most difficult agricultural machines to operate and learn, and there are a lot of things that the driver needs to master," John said.

Endri even mocked directly: "This is not one of those black-smoking horizontal-bar diesel tractors from your country. You can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged."

Hearing this, Guo Yang suddenly felt a little bit Angry.

Can’t afford the compensation?

Who are you looking down on!

If we talk about Victor, John and others can be forgiven for not believing in his driving skills.

Endri's words were purely sarcastic, and were completely based on cognitive bias.

Although the gap between domestic tractors and developed countries in terms of electronic control, electromechanical control and electromechanical hydraulic integration during this period is getting wider and wider.

But the gap in power is time to catch up quickly.

And you despise the black smoke emitted by a single-cylinder diesel tractor?

That may be just the beginning of its strength.

As long as you are brave enough to race a single-cylinder semi-trailer or drive a single-cylinder tractor, your skills are often a mystery.
