pasture leisure

Chapter 117

Aunt Gu Ying suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Chi: "Did the geese and chickens at home lay eggs?"

"It's off," Zhang Chi replied immediately.

"However, Cannon and I seldom eat. Where can we eat? When we want to eat, we touch one. If we don't want to eat, we leave it to the hens and geese to hatch. Now we have two groups of chicks. Call the goose."

Gu Yingdao: "If you wait too long, sell it."

Zhang Chi smiled, how can he care about such a small amount of money now, you can say that there are too many eggs at home, but it’s actually a bit embarrassing, selling it is not worth the gas money of a trip to the city, you say you don’t want to sell it, yourself And Cannon really can't eat it.

For example, eggs can be consumed a little bit. Neither Zhang Chi nor Cannon eat goose eggs, because they are too fishy, ​​and they need to be taken care of before they can be eaten in their mouths. If you are full, why spend this time.

Another point is that it is too troublesome to sell some things here. You have to apply for various certificates, so the little things produced at home are not worth selling at all.

Of course, you don’t need to apply for a certificate. If you are caught, you will be punished like Cannon this time.

The three chatted while washing duck eggs.

The washed duck eggs were baked next to the heater, and the top of the duck eggs was dried, and the aunt wiped all the eggs with high-grade white wine, and the wiped eggs were dried again, and there was no water on the eggs , Then put the eggs into the jar.

There are four full jars of eggs, and finally salt water is added to seal the mouth of the jar, and they are placed in the corner of the room, quietly waiting for the delicious food brought by time.

After finishing these, the guests in the restaurant came up one after another, and Zhang Chi helped with the waiter's work again.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, all the guests left, the three of them finished their meal together, and Zhang Chi returned to his ranch with seven or eight boxes of vegetables.

For the rest of the time, Zhang Chi spent almost all of his time in his ranch, and there was nothing he could do. As Christmas got closer, the weather became colder, and there was such a snowfall from time to time. It all depends on God, big or small. complexion.

Not only Zhang Chi, most of the pastures in Amber Town have entered hibernation mode, and everyone will never leave the gate of the pasture unless it is a last resort.

The only bustling bar in the town is also less crowded these days.

Zhang Chi also joined in the fun from four or five times a week to two or three times a week.

The cattle on the ranch are almost sold out. It is not yet time to buy new cattle. The fastest time to buy new cattle is March. If the weather temperature rises quickly, it may be mid-March. If the rise is slow, early April And mid-April that's possible.

The snow for the past few days has sealed Zhang Chi in the pasture, and finally the snow stopped today, and the sun showed its face. Although the temperature does not change much if it comes out or not, but after a few days of snow, a sunny day always comes. A happy thing.

So Zhang Chi was going to the bar for a drink.

Riding on Chiyan Mountain, Zhang Chi wobbled towards the bar. Now the snow in Zhang Chi's ranch has reached his knees, and the car can be driven, but it is not as convenient as a horse.

At the fork in the road, Zhang Chi met the family he least wanted to see, that is, his neighbors.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?"

Not being a good neighbor now is not like seeing Zhang Chi pretending not to be seen before. Every time I see Zhang Chi, I show a strong enthusiasm, so strong that Zhang Chi can't help but want to lift his trousers and rub them So as not to itch.

"I'm going to sit in a small bar in the town. Where are you and your family going?" Zhang Chi had to pretend to be enthusiastic.

"Let's go skiing, do you want to go together?" the good neighbor said.

Zhang Chi said: "Let's forget it, I don't know how."

Skiing here is a popular activity in winter. There are three ski clubs nearby, large and small, which attract many people. Originally, a ski club was going to be built on the west side of the town, but there is no movement now. I don’t know if the protest took effect last time. Anyway, there is no news at all now.

"You guys go."

Zhang Chi really doesn't want to talk to this family anymore, he has to think about a word for a long time, are you tired or not.

The good neighbor didn't want to talk to Zhang Chi anymore, so he said, let's go, and then he kicked the accelerator and rushed out.

"The daughter-in-law is pretty good."

This is the first time for Zhang Chi to see the daughter-in-law of a good neighbor. Don't say that she is really good looking. Although she is a bit old, she has the style of a half-aged lady, like a ripe persimmon, hot red.

It has nothing to do with Zhang Chi that his daughter-in-law is wrong. Guan Jian is a good neighbor and he doesn't know what to buy cattle.

At the entrance of the bar, Zhang Chi tied up the horse, and before entering the bar, he heard scolding in the bar.

Pushing the door open, I found that the gang of cowboys were all watching TV.

As soon as he saw the *** on TV, Zhang Chi immediately understood.

Americans, especially Americans in the west, almost seem to have engraved their hatred of Russia in their bones. The influence of the era of the US-Soviet hegemony has not disappeared in the hearts of Americans. Many Americans still think that Maozi is their number one. The enemy, as for China, is the biggest competitor.

In small bars, apart from the American Democratic Party, the only ones who can enjoy such a loud scolding are Mao Zedong.

Zhang Chi still sat next to the bar.

Kimberly didn't need Zhang Chi to order, and brought him a bottle of beer and a snack.

"Again?" Zhang Chi took the beer and pouted at the cowboys.

Kimberly laughed: "The Russians are threatening Eastern European countries again."

Oh!
When Zhang Chi heard this, it was just repeating the same old tune. There was nothing new. Americans are flirting with some countries in Eastern Europe, and some fools in Eastern Europe also believe in Americans. to such a situation.

But now the strength of the Russians does not allow them to think too much. The Russian economy is already very bad, and the GDP is estimated to be similar to that of the domestic provinces.

How can there be that strength to influence the former younger brothers of the former Red Empire in the surrounding area?

In addition, there are many [-]-year-olds in Eastern Europe, so there is a mess over there.

Anyway, in Zhang Chi's eyes, the Americans are not good birds. You said that it is not good for you to save some money and spend it on something in China.

"What's the price of grass now?"

Zhang Chi finally asked something about himself.

Zhang Chi saved a lot of forage last year, and now there is a bit too much for the winter. Firstly, there is a lot of mowing, and secondly, during the daytime, the cows can eat the grass under the snow. What's left is pretty substantial.

If you sell it now, you can earn almost $[-] to $[-].

Of course, if the price goes up, Zhang Chi will earn more.

Kimberly pointed to the blackboard behind her, and Zhang Chi saw the price of pasture grass written on it.

"Not up yet?"

This price is about the same as what I saw half a month ago.

Kimberly said: "The price is already very high now, what if it goes up again?"

At this time, the cowboy next to him said, "It is estimated that they will not be able to grow. How many cows are there now? Most of the cattle that can be sold are sold to the fattening company. The fattening company does not need too much pasture. In my opinion Ah, maybe this year's grass will fall a bit."

Hearing what the old cowboy said, Zhang Chi began to weigh in his heart.

What the old cowboy said is not unreasonable, because the price of cattle this year is relatively high, and now it is three yuan. up.

Some people will say that the sale of cattle does not mean that there are fewer cattle, but that the cattle have moved from cattle pastures to fattening pastures, and the demand for pasture will not decrease.

This idea is wrong, because most of the fattening pastures used to feed cattle are not pasture, but feed, which is composed of corn, oats, etc., and a small amount of clenbuterol is added to it.

Don't be surprised, Chinese people will be shocked when they hear about clenbuterol, but this thing is allowed to be added in the United States, as long as it is not excessive, it is legal.

If you want cattle to grow beautiful fat, first you have to feed them, and second, you have to confine the cattle to a small space and let them move less. No matter how much you feed them, fat will naturally accumulate in the body of the cattle. down.

According to the standard of breeding, this kind of cattle mainly depends on the fat content, ranging from M to M. As for the marble pattern, it is fat pattern to put it bluntly.

So Zhang Chi sometimes wonders why some people in China always promote this kind of high-fat beef, and even lead people to pursue this kind of beef.

On the one hand, these people promote this kind of beef, and on the other hand, they tell you to use less oil, and Chinese food with too much oil is unhealthy. This is completely schizophrenic.

"Do you have grass at home and want to sell it?"

Kimberly asked Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi replied: "There are not many, there are still some. Isn't it almost enough to sell cattle here? I don't need so much pasture."

Kimberly said: "The price is not bad now. Of course, you can wait. By the end of January and the beginning of February, the price of pasture may rise a bit."

"I think so too," Zhang Chi said casually.

At this time, a cowboy pushed the door and walked in. The guy shouted at the door: "Good news, the new ranch on the west side is recruiting."

"Which ranch?"

Hearing what the cowboy said, Zhang Chi understood that the owner wanted to recruit a cowboy when he broke into the other part of the Lion Ranch.

"At this time recruiting cowboys?"

Everyone thought it was a surprise.

"Three thousand dollars a month requires more than a dozen people."

The cowboy who entered the door said something.

"Vac!"

When everyone heard it, they immediately regained their spirits.

This price directly turned everyone's wages upside down.

"what do you need?"

A lot of cowboys in the bar feel like their chance has come.

Although everyone has jobs in their hands now, who can refuse such a salary.

However, when the cowboy who entered the door mentioned the conditions, many people stopped fighting because the requirements were very high.

After hearing this, Zhang Chi asked Kimberly: "Such a high requirement, many people don't meet it?"

Kimberly replied: "I don't want ordinary cowboys. This one is going to build a horse farm to raise his own horses. Naturally, the requirements are high. A horse needs three people to take care of it. Do you think people can not ask for it?"

Hearing Kimberly continue talking for a while, Zhang Chi understood that this rancher is really rich. He bought thousands of acres of ranch and raised dozens of horses. The fancy horse is naturally a fine horse.

This kind of horse costs hundreds of thousands of dollars at least, so it is natural to recruit some good cowboys to serve these horses.

One of the requirements for cowboys is to know two or more foreign languages.

Once this condition comes out, how many cowboys nearby are qualified?If the American cowboys here really know two or three foreign languages, who the hell will pay a thousand dollars a month to herd cattle?

If a black household can speak Spanish, Portuguese, etc., how could such a boss hire a black household.

Therefore, the cowboys in the bar are like cats and pigs' urine bubbles-empty rejoicing.
