Chapter 13 The Enthusiastic Cannon

Zhang Chi was a little bored listening to the two of them chatting about money.

what!
Just yawned, and found that both Melika and Zhang Wu were looking at him.

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want, I got up a little early this morning."

After finishing talking, Zhang Chi raised his hand to signal the two to continue talking about money, just pretending that he didn't yawn just now.

Glancing at Zhang Chi, Melika and Zhang Wu continued their conversation.

In fact, Zhang Chi didn’t want to shoot any bird commercials. He felt that he would look like a fool when the time came, but now he was short of money, let alone a few thousand dollars, even a few hundred dollars. Scalp to shoot.

Besides, there is no shame in making money, even if you look like a fool.

After talking for more than half an hour, Melika and Zhang Wu settled on the issue of Zhang Chi's appearance fee, and the final price was set at [-] yuan.

However, when filming, I had to go to Los Angeles to shoot, and Zhang Wu won air tickets and accommodation.

Things have been discussed, and the two are ready to leave.

At this time, Zhang Chi felt that the Americans were really good at doing things. After the matter was settled, everyone slapped their butts and left.

At the door, Melika said to Zhang Wu: "Tell your boss that the filming will be done within a week, and he'd better grow his beard by then, as if he just finished filming a survival show." ".

Zhang Wudao: "Then it will be difficult for him. His beard grows slowly. If you want that effect, it will take at least two or three months. Besides, there is no such thing in the conditions we negotiated."

Melika thought for a while and said, "That's just makeup."

"No problem!" Zhang Wu said.

When the two were talking about this, Zhang Chi stood aside with his hands in his pockets, as if he had nothing to do with it, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Chi was wandering here, and suddenly felt someone kicked him, looked up, and found that his cousin was winking at him.

This kind of wink was not uncommon in Zhang Chi since he was a child. At this moment, Zhang Chi is equivalent to Lu Xiaobu's wingman, and he understands his cousin's wink.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to the coffee shop.

"Melica, this is your first time in Folsom, do you want me to show you around?"

The shy Zhang Wu practiced the method of picking up girls.

It's a pity that he used the wrong person this time, and Melika refused directly, leaving Zhang Wu with no illusions.

"Not interested! I'm not interested in Folsom, and I'm even less interested in you," Melika said.

"It breaks my heart when you say that"

Zhang Wu's face is not covered, even so, he still looks like he doesn't blush, doesn't pant, and doesn't fail at all. There is a kind of attitude that the rain is blowing and the flowers are falling, and I am still shameless.

Zhang Chi, the wingman in the cafe, saw Melica almost 45% looking up at the sky, so he decided to come out, not to resolve the embarrassment for his cousin, but to end it quickly and send the girl to the airport It's over.

There is still work in the ranch waiting for me to do, not to mention the other horses that I agreed yesterday, I have to take them home, whoever has time to spend with them here, a minute is about one or two cents. Sorry.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the airport" Zhang Chi said directly after coming out, and walked towards his car.

As soon as Melika heard this, she followed immediately, and she was a little annoyed by Zhang Wu.

As a beautiful girl, she has seen many men like Da Zhangwu since she was a child, so she has no interest at all.For the smooth-talking man, Melika's resistance was maxed out across the board, and damage rebound had to be added.

Just like that, the three of them got into the car and drove to the airport together.

At the airport, Melika got out of the car.

Zhang Chi didn't say anything about sending people in. He didn't think it was necessary, and besides, he didn't know her too well. One paid to hire himself to work, and he paid to work. Once the matter is over, there may be no intersection in this life. , What to do with God.

"BYE!"

Zhang Chi waved at Melika.

Melika took two steps with a blank expression, then turned around and said to the two cousins: "I am not a girl who can pick up anyone who wants to, and I am not interested in being his sister-in-law. If you really If you don’t have the money to buy a mirror, you don’t have to pay him a dollar, I’ll give it to you!”

The moment he said this, Zhang Wu was petrified, and when he came back to his senses, he stammered: "You can speak Chinese?"

you still need to ask?Melika, this little girl can’t speak Chinese. The Chinese that pops out of her mouth still has a taste of Beijing movies. The children’s voice is used. Zhang Chi and Zhang Wu brothers can’t tell the taste, no People who have been in the capital for a few years can't utter such tunes at all.

Hahahaha!

Zhang Chi was immediately amused, and stretched out his hand to give Melika a thumbs up: "Your Chinese is really good."

"Don't use Chinese to talk about people behind their backs. There are not as few people who can speak Chinese now." Melika turned her head and walked away after she finished speaking.

The twisted little waist looks like a big rooster that has won a battle.

"How can she speak Chinese?" Zhang Wu muttered.

Zhang Chi reached out and patted his cousin: "Get in the car, is it difficult to speak Chinese now?"

Now it’s not the time when my uncle first came to the United States. At that time, learning Chinese was a trend, especially for many wealthy families. Chinese almost belonged to the first echelon. In the past, everyone learned French and Japanese, but now more and more people learn Chinese. Children from wealthy families learn Chinese as a second language.

Zhang Wu's mentality is really good, and he completely returned to his original appearance when he got in the car.

Zhang Chi sent his cousin back to the restaurant, and drove to Amber by himself.

Instead of going back to the ranch first, he turned in at the fork leading to Mason's horse farm.

When they arrived at the Mason Racecourse, Zhang Chi yelled a few times inside, and Mason came out and opened the door for Zhang Chi.

Mason had already prepared the written documents, and waited for Zhang Chi to hand over the money, and the handover between the two would be considered complete.

After receiving the horse, Zhang Chi was in a bit of a dilemma, because he came with a car without a trailer, and he didn't have a helper. He didn't know whether to send the car or the horse back first.

Mason doesn't care about this. Now that he has completed the handover, the rest is Zhang Chi's own business. If you want his help, you can pay a fee.

Americans are so realistic sometimes, they have to talk about money with you if they give you a hand, they are not as old-fashioned as us Chinese.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Chi came up with an idea. He drove by himself, tied the rein of the horse to the rearview mirror of the car, and walked home slowly.

Mason sent Zhang Chi to the gate of his ranch, accidentally saw Zhang Chi's brand in the back bucket, and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Chi said: "I made the brand."

Mason stopped talking after hearing this, but after a pause, he couldn't help it, and he still opened his mouth and said: "You can't do this branding, if you use fire, it's okay, but if you use dry ice or liquid nitrogen, it won't conduct heat. The heads are generally made of copper alloy, and the marks you get on cattle and horses with your stuff are shallow."

"Oh, there is another saying?"

Zhang Chi has been busy for a long time today, and what he just made was rejected by the old Mason.

Mason didn't answer, turned around and walked back to his own racecourse, and then closed the gate, as if you can do the rest as you wish.

Zhang Chi doesn't have time to think about branding now, so he just wants to bring the horse back to the pasture as soon as possible.

Then there was a strange scene on the road, a pickup moved slowly like a snail on the road, and there was a horse beside it, and the slow horse didn't need to trot.

Fortunately, there were no people on the road, and the big guys couldn't see this scene, otherwise Zhang Chi would definitely become the target of ridicule by some cowboys.

How easy is this situation in the eyes of the cowboys, with a trailer!If you don't have a trailer, you can just rent one. Is this the way to use it?
But Zhang Chi didn't turn this corner for a while, but even if he turned around, he probably wouldn't be willing to pay for the trailer rental. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so just slow down.

After leaving the trail at the Mason Racecourse, Zhang Chi met a cowboy riding a horse as soon as he got on the main road.

The cowboy was quite enthusiastic. Seeing Zhang Chi driving slowly with a horse beside him, he took the initiative to say hello.

"Are you George? Hello, my name is Cannon."

The cowboy introduced himself, then extended his hand to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi reached out and shook his hand: "Hello, Cannon, I am".

The cowboy is a Latino. I don't know if Zhang Chi has a work visa, but he is indeed a Latino, and he obviously has Indian blood, and his face is relatively round.

It is estimated that he is working on a ranch now, because Zhang Chi saw the brand on the horse's buttocks. The brand is a flower. He doesn't know what it is, but he has seen it. This ranch is on the side of the road about three miles away from the small town of Amber. Whenever I pass by for the first time, I can see this imprint sticking out, and it is not easy not to see it.

That pasture is not small, it is not so much bigger than Zhang Chi's [-] acres.

"What are you?" Cannon asked.

"I just bought a horse," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"You can't do this, it's easy to rent a trailer..." Cannon was very enthusiastic, and introduced to Zhang Chi where these ranch supplies can be rented nearby.

"Oh, thank you, I will know next time," Zhang Chi replied.

Cannon said: "Let me help you this time, it will take you a lot of time to get to the ranch like this."

In the bar, Zhang Chi can be regarded as a popular figure in the neighborhood now. If he just talked about his appearance, Cannon knew who Zhang Chi was at a glance.

Cannon is not interested in talking about Zhang Chi, let alone laughing at him. He feels that he is here to make money. Apart from doing his own job well, he doesn't care much about other things. If he has the time to laugh at others, Cannon would rather think about it. How to send a little more money home to support the family's wife and children is more practical.

"Thank you so much."

Coming here from the Mason Racecourse, Zhang Chi felt tired. Now that he heard that someone wanted to help him, he naturally wanted to thank him.

"It's okay, I happen to have time." Cannon also just got off work, and was about to have a drink at the small bar after finishing his get off work. Who knew that he happened to meet Zhang Chi at this time.

After untying the reins tied to the rearview mirror, Cannon rode his own horse and led Zhang Chi's horse to a trot quickly, while Zhang Chi followed behind in a pickup.
