Chapter 1960: Chapter 922: Simple Assessment – Rabbits_2 For the town, people welcome someone like Yan Fei who bought a farm to raise cattle. In recent years, those who bought farms just to build them like gardens for private villas, or simply left them undeveloped as hunting grounds, are not much welcomed by the townsfolk. Especially those who don’t build anything and just come with guns to hunt rabbits are deeply hated—wild animals don’t recognize farm boundaries, and once they proliferate to a certain extent, they will certainly spread around and cause trouble. So, the townsfolk dislike such ‘farmers’, and their neighboring farm owners detest them even more. Oddly enough, the number of such farm owners is increasing, buying small farms for villas, for hunting, and there’s even the most baffling kind who say… I don’t know what I want to do, nor do I know what a farm can do, but I just want to buy a farm anyway. Because of the poor comparison, someone like Yan Fei, who normally buys and operates a farm, naturally becomes a welcomed person. After all, a normally operated farm can not only increase the town’s income but also boost employment, bringing numerous benefits. Dinner was hosted by Old Haiden at his home. Yan Fei did not stand on ceremony, casually took a tie from the suitcase and then fetched a silk scarf as gifts for Xin Xiaoyan and headed off for the meal. Old Haiden’s sons and daughters were not in town, only a wife was at home. This lady, Emily, had quite a good culinary skill. The vegetables were nothing notable, but the pan-fried veal was tender and juicy, and there was also an emu meat dish that neither of them had tried before, which had a unique flavor. The emu is the national bird of Australia. While most national birds and animals elsewhere are protected species, Australia is different. The emu, as the national bird, is actually a bird species very suitable for farming, similar to but slightly smaller than the African ostrich, also known as the Australia ostrich, and is raised for the table. The meal wasn’t the key point, the main thing was that Yan Fei could take this chance to discuss his matters: “Mr. Haiden, I would like to hire several workers. The barns and living quarters on the farm need some renovation.” Old Haiden pondered for a moment: “That is absolutely not an issue. There are many people in town in need of work. There were a few workers who were laid off from the farm you purchased and still haven’t found suitable jobs.” “If their character is not an issue, and they are not too old and are able to work, I can consider rehiring them,” Yan Fei thought for a moment and said. “There’s definitely no problem. If Mr. Yan trusts me, you just need to tell me how many workers you need to hire and what they will be doing, and leave the rest to me.” Old Haiden was very keen on increasing the town’s employment rate. Though this town was slightly larger in area than Sancha River Town, its population was much smaller. In a town of only a few hundred people, everyone was familiar with each other. Recommending suitable workers for the new farm owner, Old Haiden felt confident in saying there’d be no problem.

Later on, I might need to construct new barns,” Yan Fei said. “Previously, my work focused on the fattening and breeding of quality beef in the later stages, so I need quite a number of barns.” “The farm originally had more than a dozen workers; except for two who left for the city since they were jobless for a while, there were also two who didn’t have a good reputation. The others can all return to work on the farm,” Old Haiden calculated and said. “There are a total of twelve people; whether it’s house repairs or cattle farming, they’re all adept.” Upon hearing the number, Yan Fei was very satisfied. With just a few people to take care of such a large farm, surely everyone would have to be versatile. Immediately nodding in agreement, he said: “Then tomorrow I’d like to meet them, and discuss the salary issue. In the future, there will certainly be more than just these few workers on the farm. I still have some workers coming from where I am, which will probably arrive in about a month. They are specialized breeding workers. So, the future work will definitely be easier than the original farm’s work, but I need to sign a confidentiality agreement with the workers here, and I hope you will be present as our certifier tomorrow.” “That’s my duty.” Old Haiden nodded. “That’s pretty much all the specific work, and there are two small things left,” Yan Fei said with a smile. “I want to buy a few small herding dogs to help the workers in herding cattle in the future. Also, I’d like to know if there are any animals here that could be raised to catch snakes. I know there are many snakes here; I don’t want to wake up one day and find an Oxyuranus scutellatus sleeping beside me!” Even people who have never been to Australia know that in Australia, snakes are as abundant and varied as their kangaroo fame. What’s more terrifying is that it’s not just about having many snakes, but among all the snakes that one might encounter, ninety-nine percent of them are venomous. This poses a problem. In Sancha River, there’s only one type of venomous snake, and although it’s notoriously venomous, most people have never seen it. The commonly seen ones are non-venomous, and even children dared to boast about catching snakes—even though people in Sancha River don’t eat snakes, many naughty children would pick up a snake by the tail and swing it around skillfully.
