The workers at Morning Glory Ranch were herding the cattle back. The cows hadn’t even made it into the pens when someone who returned early whispered some news to them, prompting the group to gather around and start whispering among themselves. "Is that the president of the State Meat and Livestock Association?" Luke asked quietly, with a hint of disbelief in his voice. "Yeah, haven’t you seen the news? His name is Zachary Hebrew," Ethan said in a boastful tone, as if knowing the state president made him impressive, though in reality, who would even know who he was! "The boss is amazing; he’s only been here for a short time, and he’s already got the state president following him down here!" "Yeah! That president seems very approachable too. Looking at our boss as if he’s his boss..." "Really, could it be something happened with our president again?" "Could it be last night’s beef? Didn’t you notice how especially beautiful it looked?" "It could be. Did our boss really cultivate high-quality beef in such a short time?" The workers were watching the state president as if they were at a panda exhibit. Under Old Maxiu’s management, the ranch had seen perhaps one or two visits from city association presidents at most, and those only during a standard inspection when they toured all the ranches in a line. Now, with a new boss, the cattle had just been shifted to a new pasture and even the state president had come — according to Australia’s regulations, there’s a limit on the number of cattle allowed per ranch, so once a pasture is grazed, they switch to another, all within the ranch. Zachary Hebrew came to verify Yan Fei’s claim about the eleven cows. After some praise and gratitude for Yan Fei’s hospitality, he decisively and hurriedly took his leave! During dinner, the television broadcast a news report that in five days, Amora City would witness the first batch of high-quality beef produced in the state. It is said to be comparable to Japan’s top-grade beef, breaking the national record. The Meat and Livestock Association will even revise the country’s beef grading standards for this batch... Yan Fei felt immensely gratified watching the news! The cowboys speculated endlessly until Yan Fei revealed the situation, which got them excited. Heizi and the others already knew what was going on, and Chen Yingjun even started fantasizing about riding the wave of the ranch’s success once the answer was unveiled in a few days! After all the excitement, Yan Fei briefed Heizi and the others that from now on, all weapons at the ranch should be more than just for show. The ranch is in a remote area with low human activity. Previously, its lack of notoriety wasn’t a concern, but now, the security team must be organized for nightly duties. They must adapt quickly; once the beef grading comes out, Morning Glory will undoubtedly attract attention. If security can’t keep up, there will be trouble. Losing cattle and feed are minor issues; the real problem is if armed intruders harm anyone. Things are different from home here, Yan Fei instructed that if they find intruders, whether they warn them is irrelevant—fire if necessary. Don’t worry about causing fatalities; others’ kids can keep dying, but if one of us gets hurt, it’s something no one wants to see. That includes the cowboys too. But the cowboys are very experienced, and as soon as Yan Fei mentioned it, they thumped their chests, promising to carry shotguns with them from now on! There’s no one to rely on here; Northern River Town only has about two or three security team members, which isn’t enough, so they must rely on the ranch’s own strength. The retired soldiers finally had a place to showcase their skills. Yan Fei prepared firearms for each of them, and though such actions were illegal, who could control affairs within the ranch! He also divided twelve rather grown cattle dogs, sending some over to the fattening farm. Even two little wedge-tailed eagles were being raised there. Animals have instincts far superior to humans, and despite appearances, they’re more nimble than people. If there’s any disturbance outside, they would definitely hear it first. The next day began with taking his uncle on a sightseeing trip. Without needing to plan where to go, they headed straight for the beach—Lin Baoguo had already seen and tasted the much-praised kangaroo meat, and the scenic views could be seen on their own ranches. According to locals’ descriptions, there was a ’most authentic’ beach nearby—it’s the same worldwide; the advertised tourist spots often aren’t regarded as the best by locals. Although this might be biased, it’s mostly accurate. Updates are released by novel•fire.net It’s like when people toured the mountainous area of a certain county in Wan City two years ago. Those in the know understood that the back mountain was more fun and less crowded—with the bonus of no entrance fee. Sunshine, sandy beaches, sea breeze and waves, with all sorts of food and entertainment available, only there weren’t many people. Upon arrival, before engaging in any activities, eating was the first order of business. In Yan Fei’s view, the beach amusement area seemed shabby, and the outdoor restaurant appeared simple. But it had one advantage: everything was very affordable, with rock lobsters and mud crabs served on plates much larger than the usual ones. Yan Fei and his group had good timing, as a fishing boat had just passed by recently, bringing in fresh catches. Fresh Black Devil Shrimp, abalone, and a more than foot-long red grouper, served on several large platters, were a real eye-opener for Director Lin.
