838. Unique flavor

However, unlike the farmlands on the North China Plain, Hamilton's farmland is very standardized and divided according to square lattice blocks. The farmlands are square and arranged neatly and in a standardized manner, like square lattice.

Hamilton is an important industrial city in Ontario. In the past, it attached great importance to industrial development and neglected agricultural development. In order to protect the employment of people in the city, the local government restricted the sale of farms and allowed only people in the city to buy them. Therefore, the farm prices have always been low.

In recent years, the economic environment around the world is not good. Hamilton decided to diversify his development and began to pay attention to agriculture. He liberalized policies to allow immigrants and Canadians from other provinces and cities to buy, but the development was slow.

Ontario's farmland is generally one hundred and sixty acres per unit. The government will issue a real estate certificate to each unit. Buying a farm is the same as buying a house. Brokers and lawyers will help the government to handle the land transfer procedures.

After the transfer, the purchaser has the right to use the land permanently. When the owner dies, he can give it to his son and his son to his grandson. This will be passed on from generation to generation. Everything dug out underground in the farm and anything found in the house will belong to the owner.

Mao Weilong is already half an expert in this regard, and introduced the local food policy to Qin Shiou: "It is particularly important to note that Hamilton's wheat and barley are purchased by the local agricultural bureau, so it doesn't matter other crops. What you want to plant and sell to whom you have the final say."

Because he did not enter through the main entrance, Qin Shiou first saw an oasis after crossing the fence: a forest surrounded by poplars, pine trees and maples growing on the edge of the farm.

There was a small river on the edge of the woods. The river was winding. As the two walked over, several wild ducks flapped their wings and flew up.

"The rain in Hamilton has been abundant this year. Look, the sky is gloomy again. It seems that there will be several rains in October. I hope there will be no snow in winter. It is very troublesome to deal with snow disasters in farmland." Mao Weilong looked at the dark sky and said.

Two little bullies followed, and they clumsily entered the fence, but they turned out to be too fat. They were stuck in the gap between the fences and were screaming helplessly.

Qin Shiou went up and pulled open the wattle. The little bully crawled out with his limbs, squatted beside Qin Shiou and bit his trouser legs and started playing.

When passing through the woods, what caught Qin Shiou's eyes was not the harvest of wheat fields and crops, but the light green grassland.

It seemed as if I suddenly fell on the grassland. The green grassland was vast and flat. Except for a small lake in the middle, the others were all grasslands, and a group of goats were slowly walking on the grassland, which was very quiet and beautiful.

"Chile River, under the Yin Mountains, the sky is like a dome, covering all the fields. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep!" Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh.

Mao Weilong looked at him with a smile and said, "How is it, do you think this farm is beautiful?"

Qin Shiou said: "It's really great, it's much better than yours. Why do you say that the land on this farm is ruined?"

Mao Weilong pointed to Qin Shiou and said, "You boy, don't you understand? What do I have been calling this place? Farm! But look, where is there farmland? Can you call it a farm without farmland? That lawyer is very cunning. He knew that his land could not grow crops, so he planted these grasses that do not require much nutrition. This thing is not useful!"

"Then it's good to make a ranch." Qin Shiou said.

Mao Weilong shook his head and said, "Yes, it's okay if you can build a pasture. The problem is that you can't do it at all! These green grasses are not forage grass. Do you think the forage grass has low requirements for soil texture? No, it's even higher! This kind of green grass is beautiful, but it actually doesn't have much nutrition. If you raise cattle and sheep here, wait to pay."

Qin Shiou pointed to a group of black goats in the distance and laughed. Mao Weilong also smiled: "That's wild goats. Ontario has become a disaster. Like the wild boars in your place, they can indeed eat anything, but they grow too slowly and can't breed this thing to make money, right?"

After hearing what he said, Qin Shiou became interested and said, "Is wild goats flooding here?"

Mao Weilong nodded and said, "Yes, there are really a lot. Damn, at the beginning, I felt that Canada's environmental protection was good. In fact, it's bullshit, they can't take care of it. These wild goats have strong reproductive ability and low requirements for food, which is difficult to deal with."

The two of them chatted and walked all the way, and after walking for more than an hour, they approached the villa next to the lake.

The villa has no locked doors, and the owner seems not afraid of recruiting thieves at all. Qin Shiou went in and took a look. The villa here is different from the fishing grounds. It is not a fully wooden structure, but a common North American stone villa.

There are ivy on the wall behind the house, because Hamilton's water vapor is large, the foundation on the bottom is covered with moss.

For a while, no one came to clean up and repair it. There were weeds around the house. Qin Shiou and the others walked over and were scared to death by a few gray-haired rabbits.

Mao Weilong taught the little bully dog ​​to drive away the hare in his spare time. When he saw these fat guys, the two little bullies chased after them with fat meat, making tender barking sounds in their mouths, and they looked fierce, but in fact they couldn't even eat the hare's fart.

No wonder lawyer Lagrangie bought this farm. Compared with Mother Earth, this farm is not only wider, but also has more exquisite buildings.

Even though no one has maintained it for a long time, the villa is still full of gorgeous atmosphere. The religious carvings on the marble exterior wall are extremely clear and the stones used are very solid. After Qin Shiou entered the house, he felt that the stone floor was smooth as ice.

The villa is surrounded by white wooden fences. The small fence is only tall and tall, with delicate paint, and some trumpet flowers are wrapped around it, adding a bit of romantic style.

Mao Weilong sat on the steps, reached out and pulled open the weeds and grabbed a handful of soil, and said, "Hamilton does not have much black soil, and the soil nutrients are generally not very fertile, so they must be protected and used, otherwise they will only plant weeds like this farm in a few years."

The villa faces the small lake, and there is a lawn in the backyard, with dozens of fruit trees planted on it, including pear trees, peach trees, apple trees and plum trees, with a strong pastoral style.

There are several small rivers in the farm, including the small river next to the woods before, and finally gathered in this small lake. Some wild ducks and birds were chasing and playing happily on the lake. They made "rattle" sounds from time to time, giving the quiet farm a little vitality.

Walking through the backyard of the villa, there are tall and spacious cowhouses about 200 meters away. Further behind the cowhouses are warehouses and tool rooms built with tin sheets.

All the houses have no locked doors, because the tools and furniture inside have been sold long ago. This lawyer is also cruel and actually plundered the farm so clean. He is really a talent! (To be continued)
