Chapter 967 The school sweethearts first love who took a check and went abroad (5)
Xu Yin didnt know at this time that she would have no chance to harvest wool next year.
She was very happy. She took a leave from work to participate in an amateur competition and earned more than 10,000 New Zealand dollars and a pair of pure gold wool shears. This was a great harvest!
The Hunters who came to pick her up in an open pickup truck were also smiling.
"Sean, I knew you would be the champion of the regional competition. No one has ever been able to shear more than ninety sheep within five hours of the regional competition. Not only did you break the old record, but you also set a record of one hundred." This new record is our pride in Cooktown!
Mrs. Hunter was really happy for her.
Sean, what does a solid gold shear look like? Can I see it?
Mr. Hunter is more curious about the prizes in the regional competition.
"sure."
Xu Yin reached out and took out the pure gold wool shears from her canvas bag.
Because it was made of gold, it was much smaller than an ordinary traditional wool shear. She estimated it to be 200 grams at most.
At the current price of gold, this pure gold wool shear is worth about the same as the prize money of 8,000 New Zealand dollars in Christchurch. It may not be worth 8,000 New Zealand dollars, but it is better than it is of commemorative significance.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Mr. Hunter took it and carefully stroked a few handfuls before returning them to Xu Yin: "You have to keep it. This is the championship prize of the Canterbury Regional Competition. It is very meaningful!"
Xu Yin smiled and put it away.
"Sean, after you get this bonus, will you go back to your hometown right away?" Mrs. Hunter felt a little reluctant when she thought of her identity.
Xu Yin shook her head: "I won't go back. Although I regret that I was deceived by the agency, I also learned a lot here. I want to learn more. Don't you want to keep me?"
"Haha!" Mrs. Hunter laughed heartily, "How is that possible!" I'm also worried that you are going back to your hometown, and I can't bear to leave you. "
Back at the ranch, Xu Yin was surrounded by her colleagues like a group favorite:
Oh my **** Sean! You are my idol from now on!
"Sean, how did you do it? I use electric clippers, and it takes me more than half an hour to cut one sheep, and the cuts are very rough, but you can actually cut twenty sheep with manual clippers? It's unbelievable! "
Sean has been practicing and hasnt taken a break before the game. What about you? You just lie on the hay when you have free time, so you have the nerve to say it!
Xu Yin.
If she hadn't traveled to this unaccompanied sheep country, how could she be obsessed with money?
People in the world are in a panic, but they only want to break a few taels of silver. However, these few taels of silver can solve the world's melancholy.
A meal of roasted whole lamb brought Xu Yin closer to other residents of Cook Town.
After getting in touch with each other, I found that everyone is quite friendly.
The mayor has no official airs. On the contrary, he speaks humorously and has been to more places than others. Everyone likes to listen to his talk.
Xu Yin gradually integrated into the big family of Cook Town.
In the blink of an eye, spring passes and summer solstice passes.
Of course, this is summer in New Zealand, and in the northern hemisphere, its probably winter now.
Xu Yin gradually adapted to the local weather.
There is less rain in summer here, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and there are many sunny days, which is suitable for grazing.
But even on a sunny day in midsummer, the temperature hovers around 25 or 6 degrees Celsius, rarely reaching 30 degrees Celsius.
There is also a big temperature difference between day and night, so you have to sleep with a wool blanket at night, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold.
The three-piece set Xu Yin prepared for herself to prevent heatstrokeice cubes, a fan, and a small medical bag containing Huoxiang Zhengqi and Fengyoujing were all useless.
We couldn't use them outside during the day, and they couldn't be used even if they were covered with blankets at night. Finally, they were returned to the system warehouse.
But you have to apply sunscreen every day. The sky is clear and the air is pure. Will the ultraviolet rays just keep coming?
Not only should you apply sunscreen when going out, but you should also apply a nourishing mask before going to bed.
She still prefers whitening her skin to tanning her skin.
After summer, the sheep's wool falls off due to excessive secretion of sweat glands on the sheep's body. The quality of the wool is too poor and it is difficult to sell it after shearing it. Therefore, sheep are generally not sheared. Xu Yin was also transferred from a shearer to a shepherd position.
Two strong young men who used to shepherd sheep took leave to go to the West Bay in the south.
It is said to be for fun, but actually it is to pan for gold.
I heard from Mrs. Hunter that a placer gold deposit was discovered there a few years ago. The gold mine owner was reluctant to part with the lost gold sand. In recent years, he has been hiring workers to pan for gold downstream.
