pasture leisure

Chapter 106
I was woken up twice in one night, thanks to the fact that Zhang Chi had nothing serious to do during the day, otherwise he would have gone mad, but even if he got mad, he would have kicked Ergou twice. Mom has no milk, so I can't just watch the kitten starve to death.

After getting up, Zhang Chi saw that the door of the second bedroom was open, Melika had already left, and the bedroom was empty as if no one had been there.

After washing up, Zhang Chi made some breakfast for himself and some food for Ergou. After all, he had to supplement his nutrition just after giving birth to a kitten.

After breakfast, I fed the kitten again. Zhang Chi has experience this time. Instead of taking a whole bottle, he only took half a bottle of milk. He was afraid that the kitten would be stuffed to death. This guy really has nothing left to eat. , Only when the mouth is in the throat and the milk is about to spit out will the mouth stop, which is a bit of the demeanor of Ergou when he was a child.

I have to go to my uncle's natal house during the day to bring back the tables and chairs, along with some freshly killed beef and mutton.

After a trip to the city, I had a meal at my aunt's house at noon, and came back to do the work on the ranch in the afternoon. Zhang Chi's life returned to the normal life in the past.

During this period, neighbors kept asking Zhang Chi for the recipe of sesame sauce. These guys didn’t know how to drink it, and they fell in love with the taste of sesame sauce immediately. Zhang Chi had nothing to hide. There were too many people asking, so he just directly I wrote the prescription on the blackboard of Kimberly's bar.

If you want to know, just copy it.

What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that sesame sauce became popular, and hot pot began to become popular in the vicinity, and this group of people changed it according to their own tastes, and developed what kind of cheese hot pot and tomato sauce pot. In the entire town of Amber, every household started cooking hot pot.

This situation is not difficult to understand. First of all, hot pot is convenient. It is easier for foreigners to operate. Put your favorite sauce in a pot of water. After it is boiled, add some vegetables and meat, take it out and dip it in sesame sauce. The family's meal was hot and delicious.

In an environment as cold as Amber, it would be strange if hot pot is not booming.

What makes Zhang Chi a little uncomfortable is that the price of live cattle still hasn't risen, and it is still hovering around [-] yuan, which seems to be lifeless.

It made Zhang Chi wonder if Melika was making fun of herself.

But there is no other way, now that it has reached this point, Zhang Chi can’t just sell it like this, just keep waiting, if there is no movement before Christmas, Zhang Chi estimates that his cow can only wait until the spring of next year, when it is still green and yellow. shot.

It's not bad news. The cattle raised by Zhang Chi's family are growing while eating. Now a bull has an average of more than [-] pounds. That is to say, although the cattle have not been sold yet, the hidden dangers of Zhang Chi's ranch Sex income is constantly increasing.

Even at the current price, Zhang Chi's income is much higher than a month ago.

Day by day, the meat on the cow is also growing day by day, Zhang Chi is still staring at the price of beef.

The weather is getting colder, and people's activities are getting slower and slower. For example, Amberley's Bar, which was open in the morning, now opens after three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Chi would also go there once or twice a week, to listen to the cowboys bragging, or to scold the idiots in the special zone with everyone.

In the past, Zhang Chi didn’t know that the American people were dissatisfied with the government. When he came here and heard the cowboys, farmers and ranchers complaining, Zhang Chi found it very interesting.

This afternoon, Zhang Chi came to the bar on Chiyan Mountain.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and many cowboys in the bar had already finished their day's work and were ready to pour some horse urine to meet their evening work.

At this time, the work on the ranch is quite busy, because all the cattle and sheep are now almost eating and drinking in the shed, and there are enough cowboys to serve these guys.

The cowboys who have worked all day now have a rare leisure time. They drink and swear here, and fight from time to time to vent their anger, and then continue to work at night.

"George!"

Zhang Chi opened the door and walked into the bar. Many cowboys greeted Zhang Chi.

The situation is completely different from when he first came here. Now Zhang Chi is no longer what he was at the beginning. Many cowboys look at him with colored glasses. The cows are well raised, and here is their ability. Skilled people are just like Americans who are xenophobic, but never rich. As long as you have money, whether you are yellow, black, or Latino, you can get enough respect here.

"Hi! Thomas, you're strong again."

"Horton, your beard is growing again"

……

Greeting one by one, Zhang Chi sat on the high chair next to the counter of the bar.

There was a light tap of the finger: "Kimberly, same old".

Kimberly nodded after hearing this, and waited until the work in hand was finished, and brought Zhang Chi a bottle of beer and a small plate of beans to go with the wine.

The beans are green beans, which are about the same size as soybeans. They are covered with a layer of pulp and fried in a pan. There are several flavors. Zhang Chi’s favorite is the peppery one, which has a light lake pepper flavor and bean aroma. Quite in line with Zhang Chi's appetite.

After taking a sip of beer, Zhang Chi squeezed a bean and put it in his mouth, chewing while listening to the cowboys' nonsense.

The TV was also very lively. There was another shooting on the news, and there were people protesting on the other side. After the news was over, it was current affairs. A few people sat at the table and began to talk about the current domestic and international situation.

In this kind of program, the word China appears almost as many times as the word America, either talking about China's threat to the United States or talking about the achievements of infrastructure construction.

On the contrary, the old rival Russia did not appear much.

These people talk about it in a clear way, but they probably have no way to do it. For example, someone is proposing to build a high-speed rail right now, and they are talking about what will happen after the high-speed rail is built.

Zhang Chi curled his lips inwardly while watching, because it is very likely that this matter will not be done.

why?You don’t have to have land to build a high-speed rail. If you don’t have land, you fly from the sky?
Now Guan Jian’s question is how to expropriate the land. If you expropriate the land at the market price, which rancher would be willing? I will take a good piece of land. You will pass the high-speed rail in the middle and run on it all day long. That’s good for my ranch. Will the farm have any impact?
The impact is certain, not to mention the noise alone is inevitable, is there anything else besides the voice?What rancher farmer isn't worried?

If it’s a small business, that’s fine. Some of these developers want to take over your land. Don’t think that the law here is greater than the sky. The law can uphold justice for you. Americans themselves don’t believe in this thing.

But now on this line, how can there be no master who is so powerful that ordinary people can't afford to mess with it? Tens of thousands of acres of pastures are not new in the United States, nor are they rare, not to mention here in the west, but in New York. There are such big dog owners near all kinds of places.

Owning such a large piece of land, even if you don't do anything and have no other industries, you are still the master of the family. No matter in the local area or the local council, the energy of such a person should not be underestimated.

It was lively on TV, but if you really want to build this road, it is probably not much worse than a monk in the Tang Dynasty who went to the west.

As for how much money to allocate and what to do, let alone, it is estimated that half of the money can be used for business. Thank you, the government has given out money, and a bunch of evil wolves have already lined up before the money comes out. It's fruitful.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Zhang Chi looked at these cowboys cursing happily, and Zhang Chi was ready to go home.

Haven't left the stool yet.

Suddenly a cowboy shouted: "The price of cattle has gone up! It's now two dollars and six".

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Chi immediately shrank his butt back.

"What? Really increased?"

Immediately a rancher stood up and asked loudly to the speaker.

"Well, there is already news over there, and the harvest price is now two yuan six!"

"Quickly, cut the screen over."

In an instant, the TV screen switched to the local station, with news on it, and the price of live cattle on the scrolling subtitles below. It really was two yuan and six!
"Why did it suddenly rise?"

Suddenly someone asked.

Zhang Chi waited with his ears pricked up, but it was a pity that no one knew why the price of live cattle suddenly rose.

Zhang Chi waited here for a while, and there was no official news after reading the news, but in the comments, a group of people said a lot, but they didn't say anything.

After staying for more than half an hour, there was no definite news, and Zhang Chi went home.

Got home and saw Cannon.

"Boss, cattle prices are up again," Cannon said.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I see, it's only two yuan and six, and I don't make much money."

"It's good news anyway," Cannon said.

Zhang Chi nodded.

After feeding the kitten at home, Zhang Chi started to turn over the webpage, wanting to find out what caused the price of cattle to suddenly jump by a dime today.

It's a pity that the news on the Internet is too messy. Some say that the problem in Texas is serious, and some say that infected cattle have also been found in the east. In short, I don't know whether it is true or not. It's all people on the Internet. Yes, there is no official news.

sleep!

There was no serious news, so Zhang Chi decided to sleep.

But when Zhang Chi woke up the next day, a better news came. The price of cattle had risen again, and it was already close to two yuan seven.

Two days later, the price broke through two seven dollars, and rushed straight to two eight dollars.

Now Zhang Chi became nervous again, and decided whether to sell the cow. If he sold it at this time, he was afraid that it would rise again later. If he didn't sell it now, what should he do if it would fall?
Tangled!

However, Zhang Chi's entanglement didn't last for a few days. Just when Zhang Chi was still thinking about whether to sell or not, the price of the cow directly broke through two nine dollars, heading towards the highest three dollars in history.

Now Zhang Chi really didn't dare to wait any longer, this was so frightening, he called the purchaser directly, and sold all the sellables in his ranch for two yuan and ninety-five cents.

A total of two hundred and fifty cattle Gascony plus offal cattle, because the price of Gascony cattle is higher, so Zhang Chi received a total of [-] dollars in exchange for these cattle.

After repaying all the loans, Zhang Chi still had $[-] left in his pocket, and Zhang Chi felt like walking with wind when he got the money.
