Chapter 966 The school grass's first love who took a check and went abroad (4)
Mr. Hunter didn't really laugh at her, he was just joking. After laughing, he talked about the competition rewards: 3,000 for the first place, 1,000 for the second, and 500 for the third.
Compared to the salary level of less than 500 New Zealand dollars a month, the champion's bonus is quite attractive.
"The champion is eligible to represent Cook Town to Christchurch to participate in the city-wide competition. If he can win a prize in the city-wide competition, it will be amazing. Not only will there be a bonus, but he will also have a certificate of award signed by the Lord of Christchurch!"
Certificate Xu Yin is not interested, she is more concerned about the bonus now.
Mr. Hunter twitched his mouth: "The champion of the city competition was awarded 5,000 last year. I don't know how much this year, but I think it should not be less than 5,000. But for the Canterbury regional competition, the reward for the champion last year was A pair of pure gold manual wool shears."
Solid gold wool shears? That's great!
Xu Yin suddenly has a bright future. If the long-term goal is to own a farm and pasture, then in the short term, it is a pure golden fleece.
To qualify for the Canterbury Regional Competition, you must first become the town champion and then the city champion.
So, in the next few days, she began to prepare for the competition.
According to Mr. Hunter, in recent years, very few contestants use traditional wool shears to participate in competitions, and almost all of them are electric faders.
Think about it too. If the contestants prepare a bunch of electric faders in advance, they need to be replaced with oil, and the faders are hot. This is not so friendly to the poor players. After all, electric faders are not cheap to purchase and maintain.
"Then I don't need electric clippers, can I sign up with manual shears?" Xu Yin asked.
Mr. Hunter said: "There is no limit. The reason why everyone uses electric ones is because manual cutting is too slow."
I added a sentence in my heart: Who is like you, who can cut and scissor non-stop when picking up manual scissors. Not to mention the fast hand speed, it is like a perpetual motion machine.
Since she can compete with traditional wool shears, Xu Yin signed up.
After the registration, start the scene simulation every day, and practice the speed of shearing, not only fast, but also fast and clean.
Cut every day, and don’t cut for six hours a day without stopping.
Because I heard from Hunter that the time limit of the regional competition is the longest. In order to select a truly capable sheep shearing champion, the contestants have to shear for five or six hours non-stop.
It can be seen that it is not so easy to obtain pure gold wool shears.
The problem is that there are so many sheep in Hunter Ranch for her to practice. All the sheep seem to be shaved and bald. Cut it, why cut it without hair!
Hunter's ranch is still a bit small after all.
Xu Yin sighed in her heart.
If only there were other sheep farms nearby for her to practice.
It's a pity that the nearest neighbor is not only two kilometers away, but also mainly raises dairy goats.
You can’t just shave the wool of other dairy goats just to practice your hands, right?
Not to mention that the rancher will not allow it, she is not that crazy.
Mrs. Hunt sensed her urgent desire to practice, and said with a smile: "If you want, you can go to my uncle's ranch to work part-time. His family has raised 600 sheep, and they probably haven't finished shearing yet."
Xu Yin immediately thanked her.
Mrs. Hunter laughed and said: "I also want to thank you. You finished the three-day work in one day, much faster than expected, and the sheep didn't make a fuss, and it was much easier to manage than before. Don't worry, until the game day Come back."
During this visit, Xu Yin not only helped Mrs. Hunter’s uncle, Mr. Ai Wei, shear the remaining 400 sheep, but also helped Mr. Ai Wei’s mother-in-law’s family shear 700 or 800 sheep.
Part-time jobs were originally settled on a daily basis, but Xu Yin's efficiency is too high. The amount of tasks that others need to work hard for three or four days can be completed in one day. It seems quite easy.
Before the game day, Xu Yin was going back to Cook Town. When Mr. Ai Wei settled her salary, he paid her double salary.
Xu Yin took this little extra money and her hand speed as fast as a double shadow, and went back to Cook Town to participate in the sheep shearing competition.
After a month of practice, she can now shear 20 sheep an hour, with an average of one sheep every three minutes, and the speed is very stable.
I'm afraid no one will believe this achievement.
Old George has worked as a wool shearer for 20 years. At the fastest time, he cut 15 sheep in an hour.
That was his best record. With this result that year, he won the fourth place in Cook Town.
Although they didn't get the prize, they were two less than the first place.
It still uses electric clippers. When I used traditional scissors to compete in the competition a few years ago, it was considered fast if I could cut five or six clips.
So I can't imagine how Sean managed to shear a sheep's wool in an average of three minutes? Wouldn't it be tiring to cut to the back?
Xu Yin felt that the speed could be even faster.
She once read a piece of news in a small modern world, saying that there was a sheep shearing champion in Australia who sheared a sheep in less than 30 seconds.
And she needs three minutes.
However, that person uses an electric hair clipper, which is much more advanced than the current electric clippers. It can push hair continuously for five or six hours without heat. It is properly maintained and does not need to be lubricated during use.
So, she wants to continue to improve her speed. What needs to be improved is not the hand speed, but the tools.
After the competition was over, she pondered to see if she could improve the existing electric faders.
Right now, she is on the field with traditional manual shears that have cut more than a thousand sheep.
Not to mention that the contestants were stunned, the judges almost laughed.
Take traditional wool shears for competition? I'm afraid this is not a joke?
However, a few days later, they had pain in the left cheek and the right cheek.
With a stable record of shearing 20 wools per hour, Xu Yin is invincible all over Canterbury.
She won three championships in a row, and won three first places in Cook Town, Christchurch, and Canterbury along the way.
Cook Town awarded her 3,000 New Zealand dollars, and Christchurch this year's championship prize was mentioned as 8,000 New Zealand dollars. A total of 11,000 New Zealand dollars and a pair of pure gold wool shears were awarded.
To the envy and shame of the shearers who couldn't do her job with electric clippers.
It also almost caused the competition organizers to have internal strife.
Some judges were not reconciled to the high prize money and pure gold wool scissors being taken away by an overseas student from Huaguo, and asked to cancel Xu Yin's registration qualification;
However, there are some judges who are more fair and think that the competition schedule does not stipulate that foreign students are not allowed to participate in the shearing competition.
In fact, there are foreign students from all districts participating in the competition, but no foreign students have stood out in the sheep shearing competition in previous years, shined brilliantly and won awards, so everyone didn't take it seriously.
Suddenly a dark horse appeared this year, winning one championship after another by virtue of its strength. Is it necessary to temporarily change the rules of the game? Does the game still have credibility after that?
After many heated discussions, in the end, this year's championship was still awarded to Xu Yin.
But starting next year, the schedule may have to change. This is to prevent Xu Yin from participating again next year.
She is so young, if she comes to participate in the shearing competition every year, what else is there for others!
