pasture leisure

Chapter 147 The racecourse is about to go bankrupt

In the morning, Zhang Chi woke up from the bed, put on his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed, pressed his hands on the edge of the bed, let himself go for a while, didn't think about anything, just sat there.

Waking up with a frown, Zhang Chiju washed the cotton slippers he had pulled, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed into the room, making Zhang Chi who was standing at the door shiver, and tightened his neckline. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that there were small snowflakes floating in the sky.

Snow is not common in my hometown at this time, but it is already commonplace here. Sometimes even in mid-April and early May, God will give you a game if you are not happy, let you take off the snow. Put down the long johns and put them back on.

The riding boots step on the snow, the soft feeling from the snow, and the sound of creaking snow, the cold air in the lungs, people can't help but feel refreshed, just crawled out of the bed, and the A little laziness dissipated in an instant.

Walk all the way to the cowshed where the light is.

By the time he got to the bullpen, Cannon was already busy and had cleared the quarter.

"BOSS"

Seeing Zhang Chi come in, Cannon stopped what he was doing and smiled.

At this moment, he is really happy, because getting the work visa means that he can take over his wife from his hometown, and several underage children can also follow him.

For Cannon, these are all given by Zhang Chi, the boss. The only thing he can do is to do his job well, and do it well.

"Take a break, just do the work slowly," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi understood Cannon's thoughts. If it wasn't for Cannon's hard work, he wouldn't spend so much money to help him sign the job.

But hard work is hard work, and it’s not okay to sell too much.

If Cannon continues to work like this, if something happens to his body, it will not be a loss if he only works for Zhang Chi for three to five years. If he is in good health, he will work for Zhang Chi Ranch for another fifty years. It's what Zhang Chi wants.

"Not much work, there are only a few cows here in the ranch now," Cannon said with a smile.

Zhang Chi walked into the cowshed, and reached out to pat the cows beside him. The rest of the cows were all strong, and under Cannon's care, none of them could see their ribs.

"How many have calves?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Ninety-five percent of them were checked before last week, and even if they were missing, they have been filled. It's almost autumn, and the first batch of our own calves will be born in our ranch."

Cannon smiles when he thinks about it, a smile that comes from the heart.

Since he started to work illegally in the United States, his current life is the most comfortable he has ever lived. The boss has helped him to apply for a work visa, and the boss is also generous. Now that the prospects of the ranch are getting better and better, he is naturally happy.

He believes that if the boss makes money and the ranch makes money, his life will get better and better.

"By the way, can you pick up your wife and children with a work visa?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon nodded: "Well, yes."

"When do you plan to take over?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "I'm planning to arrive in autumn. I don't have much time now. When the calf comes down, my wife can help take care of it. Anyway, she is idle at home, and she is not too expensive for the work on the ranch. It's okay to just hand over something.

Boss, why don't we buy more cattle today? The pasture is so good, it's not suitable to raise cattle like last year. It can be increased to [-] head.Of course, this is my suggestion."

listen!Cannon is really a good comrade, it's not worth doing it by himself, but he has to ask his wife to come and help!I really sold out my strength to sell my daughter-in-law.

Zhang Chi felt that his money was well worth it.

Hearing Cannon talk about raising cattle, Zhang Chi thought of the little girl Melika again, and Zhang Chi felt bad when he thought of her.

It's enough for a girl to be pretty, why should she have a good brain, she won't let herself take advantage of any advantage, it's really not going to work!
"Let's take a look, it is estimated that the price of cattle will not be low at the beginning of spring," Zhang Chi said.

Cannon followed suit.

The epidemic last year raised the price of cattle, but from another perspective, the pastures after slaughtering sick cattle will definitely buy cattle, or the pastures will be empty?
With such a big epidemic and so many disaster-stricken pastures, it would be strange if the price of cattle does not rise. I am so happy when I sell cattle, I think I will be more worried when I buy cattle this spring.

"It's snowing outside, and I don't know when the grass transporters will come." Zhang Chi suddenly changed the topic.

Cannon said with a smile: "Don't worry, the price of pasture is so high now, they will definitely come here on time, let alone snow, they will come on time even if there is money to be made from iron balls."

Hahaha!
Zhang Chi laughed.

"Oh, by the way, what's going on with our neighbors?" Zhang Chi asked again.

Cannon naturally knew who Zhang Chi was referring to as the neighbors. Anyway, it must not be the Liosel family next door.

"There is no movement," Cannon said: "His family members are hardly seen coming out."

"Have you bought the cow yet?" Zhang Chi asked.

Waiting for this family to buy a cow, Zhang Chi felt that the flowers he had been waiting for were gone, and the gourd beside him was already hungry and thirsty. Why didn't he buy a cow and let him "borrow" it!

Cannon said with a smile: "Although this guy has a bad heart, he is not stupid. How can he buy cattle at such a high price at this time. However, Boss, his ranch is not small."

"What the hell, there is money!" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

The Xiongshi Ranch has been largely divided, and Zhang Chi’s piece is at most leftovers. I was quite satisfied before, but now I am a little dissatisfied.

"When we made money, we bought it," Cannon said.

"Good idea," Zhang Chi said with a smile, "but it's not realistic."

It's not realistic to say it, but Zhang Chi's heart may not be full of bad water.

The only thing that stops Zhang Chi from being bad is his pocket, so even though he knows that this good neighbor has been making money in China, he has not paid the tax he should pay in the United States at all, Zhang Chi still did not report to the tax bureau he.

The two worked together for a while, cleaning up the old shed. At this time, the sky was already bright, but because of the snow, the sky was still gray and the visibility was not too high.

Cannon did not let the cows out. Cannon took care of the cows with calves more carefully. Now the time to let them out is more than two hours at night than before. Waiting for the temperature outside to rise a little bit, these cows can be released. The cows are let out.

It turned out that several bulls were driven out of the cowshed by Cannon before Zhang Chi entered the cowshed.

At this time, the bulls will not be of much value until next winter, so the treatment has dropped from the breeding period to the normal level, and the oats, eggs, nutrients and so on during the breeding period have long since disappeared.

Zhang Chi is not worried about these matters, and Kannon is fully responsible for them.

After leaving the cowshed, Zhang Chi went directly to the stables, put on Chi Yanshan and rode it around the ranch, and hadn’t seen his owner for a long time, Chi Yanshan was very excited, waiting for Zhang Chi to give it away When returning to the stable, he refused to go in no matter what, and kept snorting.

Zhang Chi reached out and patted the bridge of Chi Yanshan's nose, stroked the new Liuhai on its forehead, and let it move on its own.

Chi Yanshan wanted to follow Zhang Chi, but he was a little afraid of the cold. The warm stables and the snow and ice outside cooled some of Chi Yanshan's enthusiasm for seeing his master.

The sheep and pigs in the stables are all good looking. If it wasn't for the cold weather, I really didn't want to reach out. Zhang Chi wanted to kill the sheep and eat mutton hot pot.

At around nine o'clock, the hay harvesters arrived, accompanied by several large trucks.

It took several hours to load the trucks one after another, and it was not until evening that most of the forage in the warehouse was sold.

Benefiting from the sharp rise in the price of forage at the moment, Zhang Chi's income from selling forage has also increased. The cash on the ranch's book is about [-] yuan, which made Zhang Chi's waist harder.

After working all day, Zhang Chi didn't want to do anything other than sleep.

As soon as it was dawn, the snow outside stopped, and Father Sun's old face became shy again. Although there was still no heat, it made people feel refreshed.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chi rode Chiyan Mountain to the bar in the town.

Pushing open the door, all the cowboy ranchers in the bar greeted Zhang Chi.

"George, long time no see you."

"I'll go back to visit my parents, and celebrate the new year by the way." Zhang Chi smiled and responded to everyone's enthusiasm, while sitting in his old seat.

Kimberly brought Zhang Chi a bottle of beer and a basket of snacks without Zhang Chi saying anything, just like everyone else here.

Take a sip of your beer and hear the cowboys say what's new these days.

"Hey, hello!"

At this time, a young cowboy ran in and shouted at the people in the bar as soon as he entered the door: "Mason Racecourse is said to be going bankrupt."

The whole bar suddenly fell silent.

The bankruptcy of the Mason Racecourse is nothing new to the small town of Amber, because before that, the income of the Mason Racecourse has not been very good.

The main reason is none other than that old Mason is really too horny.

If a person twists and turns, it is easy to go all the way to the dark.

Mason is such a person. He feels that his few outstanding mares must be able to breed the best racehorses. Not to mention winning the triple crown, he must at least win a few G1s.

It's a pity that speed horse racing is generally a rich man's game now, as in the past, a racecourse could become famous with just one horse.

But now, the best horses are almost all in the hands of rich people. It is really difficult for a horse bred by an ordinary racecourse to win the prize money of the G1 competition.

Zhang Chi feels sorry for Mason, but he has nothing to do. Bankruptcy is common in the United States.If you go bankrupt today, he will go bankrupt tomorrow. Otherwise, there will be no ranch changing hands, and the farm will be sold, and it’s not all because of poor management.

I don't have many interactions with Mason, so I can only feel a little bit sad, and this is to match the small atmosphere in the bar.

After two sips of wine, there is nothing left of this little sadness.
