Chapter 11 Branding
When the morning sun shines through the window and hits Zhang Chi's bed, Zhang Chi opens his eyes. Today he is not wasted in bed, but got up quickly, got dressed, drove into the car and rushed to the city go.

First withdraw the money, and then go to the uncle's restaurant.

Seeing Zhang Chi's pickup parked at the door, Zhang Youliang came out and asked, "Why do you go to Folsom every day?"

"I just bought a horse. Why don't I come here to withdraw money? It just so happens that I don't have anything to do right now, so I'm here to help you," Zhang Chi said.

"Bought a horse? How much did you pay for it?" Zhang Youliang asked.

Zhang Chi said: "Six hundred."

"It's expensive," Zhang Youliang said.

Zhang Youliang didn't ask if he had any blood certificates, because the [-] yuan obviously wouldn't come with a blood certificate, but without a blood certificate, [-] yuan would be expensive. A medium-sized riding horse, no matter what kind of horse , It’s only four or five hundred yuan, and no one wants more. This is an agricultural and animal husbandry state, and horses are caught here.

"The main reason is that the training is good, and I like it too, it's worth spending an extra one hundred yuan," Zhang Chi said to his uncle with a smile.

The uncle and nephew walked into the house while talking.

Seeing Zhang Chi coming, my aunt opened her mouth and said, "Why are you here again today?"

Zhang Chi repeated a sentence, then found a small bench and sat down to help uncle and auntie choose vegetables.

"Where's Brother Wu?"

After choosing for a while, he didn't see brother Zhang Wu, so Zhang Chi said something casually.

"Who knows where he went upside down last night, he looked like a monkey with no legs." When the aunt mentioned her second son, her brain hurt, and she was already in her thirties and had no shape all day long, earning a decent living There wasn't one either, which was really frustrating.

"What is placed now?" Zhang Youliang asked.

Zhang Chi said: "I didn't buy anything. It's just a horse until now. Someone will come to see the terrain after a few days. The cattle are also looking at it now. There will be an auction in a few days. I'm going to have a look. If it is suitable, start a batch first... ".

Zhang Chi told his uncle about his plan.

"That means you didn't buy anything for the ranch?" Zhang Youliang said.

Zhang Chi said, "Anything else?"

"You have cattle, so you can't mark your cattle. You must have an iron seal for branding, right? And you don't have any irrigation equipment now. You have to prepare a sprinkler car, even if there is no sprinkler car, You should always buy a jar, in case of a drought or something, you won't be able to get rid of this thing for a while.

There is also a baler, if you can't afford it, you have to talk to the agricultural machinery rental company when you want to use it, don't want to rent it on your side, but the other side has already rented it out... I will help You asked, and I will give you the list later."

Zhang Youliang was also worried about his nephew. After returning from the ranch, he called his friend and asked him what kind of things the ranch usually uses. He was afraid that his eldest nephew would be in a hurry to work on the ranch for the first time.

Hearing what his uncle said, Zhang Chi realized that he lacked a lot of things.

It doesn't matter what irrigation truck is. He has a gourd here, so how can he use it? However, gourds can sprinkle water, but if only a small gourd can sprinkle [-] acres, Zhang Chi will have a headache thinking about it.

How to do it?

Zhang Chi's first thought was to buy an agricultural drone.

Of course, the matter of branding must be resolved first, that is to say, to make a mark for one's own pasture and hit it on the cow, then the cow will have an obvious mark.

In this case, if one's own cattle run off to someone else's pasture, it will be easy to find them back.

In addition, there is a mark on the cow that is easy to recognize. In case the cow is stolen, this mark can be used to get it back from the police. As for the ear tag, it is useless if the cow steals it. The imprint on the cow is not so easy to get rid of.

Zhang Chi knew this before, but he didn't remember it for a while, so when his uncle reminded him, Zhang Chi realized that his ranch didn't have a serious logo until now.

As for the logo, Zhang Chi didn’t try his best to think of any otherworldly tricks. He is just an ordinary person. When the time comes, there will be a circle on the outside and a Chinese chapter inside, and that will be it.

"Look, I really lack a lot of things." Seeing his uncle standing up, Zhang Chi went into the room and took a piece of paper and handed it to himself. He glanced at it and found that there were forty or fifty items listed on it. I found that I thought I was well thought out, but in fact it was far from it.

"Things are always difficult at the beginning, and it will be fine when you get used to it." Zhang Youliang comforted his nephew.

At this moment, the door opened suddenly, and Zhang Wawu rushed in.

"Hey, why are you here again today? Why is the ranch so busy? People work on a ranch like a dog all day long. How about you? Come here every three days." Zhang Wuyi saw his cousin He opened his mouth and said with a smile.

The aunt said: "No matter what you do, you are better than you. Do you think there is any restaurant that sleeps like you and wakes up naturally?"

Zhang Wudao: "I have something to do, okay, I will work now."

He sat down and pretended to be working. After a short while, Zhang Wu began to practice foreign work. He had chosen three vegetables, but he hadn't finished one.

"What are you doing today?"

Zhang Chi said: "I used to withdraw money, but now I have a lot of things to do."

Zhang Wu asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Chi picked two at random and said them out.

"Call me for this!" Zhang Wu said.

Hearing that his cousin said that he wanted to find someone to mark the pasture, Zhang Wu immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"you?"

Zhang Youliang looked at his son and said, do you sometimes do good things?
"You look down on people, don't you? A friend of mine works in a car repair shop. He can definitely get these things at home. Forget it, don't choose vegetables, come with me, let's go directly to block him."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu dropped the dishes in his hands, and directly pulled Zhang Chi up from the small bench.

"Looking for someone at this time?"

It’s only eight o’clock at most now, and the small town is still awake at this time. Generally speaking, the shops here open at ten o’clock, that’s right, ten o’clock in the morning.

It was already early. Some shopkeepers didn't open in the morning at all, and slept until the afternoon.

"It's better to be late than early. Besides, if you get busy, it's not easy to find someone to help," Zhang Wu said.

Just listen to this, believe me?Forget it, Zhang Chi looked at Zhang Wu just because he wanted to play, and he didn't want to do the job of choosing vegetables.

"Wait a minute, there's still something to do here."

The aunt immediately said after hearing this: "Da Chi, you go with him, there are not many dishes left, and your uncle and I will finish cooking in about ten minutes."

Zhang Chi said: "Is it really not necessary?"

Zhang Youliang also waved his hand at Zhang Chi: "Go, your aunt and I will finish these things in a while, you'd better go on your own."

After hearing this, Zhang Chi followed his cousin out.

Seeing that Zhang Chi was about to drive, Zhang Wu said: "Don't drive, we two have one."

As he spoke, he shook the keys in his hand. Zhang Chi saw that it was his uncle's most precious pickup, and knew that his cousin had stolen his uncle's car again.

I don't know when he came in and went out again, when did he hand out the uncle's car keys.

"Row!"

Zhang Chi didn't say much, took two quick steps, opened the car door and sat in.

Zhang Wu started the car and drove his cousin Zhang Chi all the way to his friend's house.

When I got to the car repair shop, it really wasn't open yet.

Just when Zhang Chi didn't know what to do, Zhang Wu directly picked up a small stone on the ground, and threw it out the window on the second floor.

clang!
There was no response, and then Zhang Wu threw a second time.

After the third click, the window opened, and a sleepy-eyed white boy sticking out his head with a chicken coop.

First, let’s start with a popular scolding in the world.

"Vac, which Peach...Wu, it's you?"

Seeing clearly that it was Zhang Wu who threw the stone, the white boy still had a sad expression on his face. Anyone who was sleeping happily would be very upset if he was woken up.

"Open the door, I have something to do with you," Zhang Wu said.

The white guy at the window on the second floor immediately uttered another series of curse words.

Zhang Wu is also welcome, the two of you, Bi Qi, and I, Fa Ke, have come and gone several times.

Now Zhang Chi knew that his cousin had a very strong relationship with this white boy. If he wasn't a very good friend, he wouldn't be so careless. The friendship between young people is the same everywhere.

Soon the Caucasian boy shrank his head back, and immediately another Caucasian girl with the same chicken nest head poked her head out of the window.

"Hi! Wu!"

"Jenny, good morning."

Zhang Wu also knew this little white girl.

The two chatted for a while before they heard the sound of the rolling door below.

Waiting for the door to open, Zhang Chi saw a sleepy Caucasian boy with big bare arms, wearing a pair of yellow underpants, with a few dirty words printed on them, standing at the door.

"my brother"

Zhang Wu introduced it casually.

Zhang Chi smiled at the white boy as a greeting.

"This is my friend Mike."

It's such a common name, here, Mike walks everywhere, Jack is like a dog, and Daniel is suitable for both people and dogs!A stick was thrown out and hit ten people, at least two were named Mike.

Mike smiled at Zhang Chi as a greeting, and then let them in.

Zhang Wu obviously came here often, and he was not polite when he entered the house. He started to rummage, and found Zhang Chi a wide steel plate about ten centimeters square in a short while.

"What kind of bid are you going to make?"

Zhang Chi said: "Just write a chapter and put a circle around it."

"Mike, bring a piece of chalk," Zhang Wu said.

Mike grabbed a piece of chalk and threw it to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi took the chalk with both hands, squatted down and drew a serious chapter on the iron board.

"cool!"

Seeing a Chinese country appearing on the iron plate, Mike thought it was too beautiful.

"The writing of this word is just average, it's because you don't know much about it."

Zhang Wu was a little dissatisfied.

Zhang Wu's handwriting is really inferior to Zhang Chi's, because Zhang Chi went to elementary school in China, and Zhang Wusheng grew up in the United States. Speaking Chinese is not a big problem, but writing?Forget it, he was a little bit blind with the words one, two, three, four.

It's not that Zhang Youliang doesn't teach, but that Zhang Wu is not interested in learning at all.
