pasture leisure

Chapter 148
After spending half an hour in the bar leaning on a bottle of beer, Zhang Chi walked out of the bar, tightened his coat and came to the stake tied to Chiyan Mountain, untied the horse's reins, and patted Chiyan Mountain lightly neck.

Chi Yanshan snorted twice and kicked the ground twice with his front leg.

"Let's go, go home!" Zhang Chi got on his horse.

Just about ten meters away, the phone rang. Zhang Chi took it out and saw that it was his sister who called.

"Hello" Zhang Chi accepted the video.

Seeing her younger brother outside, Zhang Juan asked casually, "Where are you? Outside? Why is your side still covered with snow?"

"I drank a little wine at the bar just now, and I'm about to go home, sister, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked.

Zhang Juan said: "It's nothing. I just want to ask if you can get some beef back. Your brother-in-law's old leader is full of praise after tasting our beef. Your brother-in-law wants to send some more."

Zhang Chi asked: "Have you finished eating all your food?"

Zhang Juan said: "It's not that it's finished, it's that it was robbed. The seven aunts and eight aunts of your brother-in-law's family all said it was delicious. After eating, all the cousins ​​came to beg for it. Isn't it gone?"

This matter is also normal in small counties. Relatives in big cities have less contact with each other, and they are generally too embarrassed to go to other people's homes to get things.

But the county town and the countryside are different. Everyone walks around a lot. I will get some from your home, and I will give you some when I have something from my home. The relationship between relatives is much closer than that in big cities.

"That's really difficult. Wait until I go back. There are a lot of passes from here to the house for beef, and brother-in-law's old leader, brother-in-law is not going to be promoted, so it doesn't matter whether he is an old leader or not."

Zhang Juan laughed and said, "It's not the same. When your brother-in-law first started working, he was often run over by some old people. The old man treated him very well, that's him. Your brother-in-law won't give you old looks."

"Then go home and have a look, see if there's any more at my parents' place, if not, then I can only wait for me to go back, this round trip, the cost of transportation alone is enough to buy a hundred and eighty catties of beef in China" Zhang Chi said to scare her sister.

Zhang Juan heard: "So expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive, just pass through the customs of the two countries with such a small amount, do you think it's not expensive?" Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Juan immediately said: "Forget it, let's wait until you come back next time."

After chatting with my sister, the siblings hung up the phone.Zhang Chi put away his mobile phone and found out that Chi Yanshan had already carried his self to the gate of the ranch.

Just when he moved the gate of the ranch and was about to enter, the phone in his pocket rang again.

"What's the matter today, so many calls come in?" Zhang Chi muttered.

He took it out and saw that it was Boris calling.

"I'm George, Burris, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked.

Boris said hello to Zhang Chi on the other end, and then asked directly: "Do you know about the Mason Racecourse?"

"I know, I just heard about it in the bar," Zhang Chi replied.

Burris said again: "I've heard that too. I just asked how much old Mason owed, and I talked to the old people here on the phone to see if I could help Mason keep the racecourse. At such an advanced age, if he loses the racecourse, there is probably no place for him other than being a homeless man."

"??"

Zhang Chi was a little dazed, thinking that this world is really amazing.

He really didn't expect that people like Burris would have such an idea. It is not too strange that this happened in China, because there is such a tradition among relatives in our Chinese hometown, but it is a bit strange in the United States.

If you move to a new community here, the neighbors will usually help you, so that you can better integrate into the community. Of course, this refers to the middle-class community. In that kind of poor community, there may be neighbors who are jealous of you and clean you up. There are also.

But after helping you, the neighbors usually don't care about you. Each family lives its own life, and the relationship between neighbors is very weak, and there are very few economic contacts.

The old Mason Racecourse went bankrupt, what Zhang Chi was thinking about was going bankrupt, what can we do?
But now Burris and others are trying to help old Mason keep the racecourse, which makes Zhang Chi feel a little warm in the world.

Life is like this, sometimes ordinary little people often burst out with the brilliance of humanity, making you feel that the world is not as cold as you imagined.

"Are you listening? George, George!"

Boris on the other end heard that Zhang Chi hadn't moved for a long time, so he started to take pictures of the phone, and blew into the phone's mouthpiece.

"Listen, what are you going to do?" Zhang Chi asked.

"It's hard to say now. If you are free, come to my house now, and I will contact other ranchers. Let's discuss together and see how we can help Mason," Burris said.

Zhang Chi asked, "Now?"

"Well, now, what are you doing?"

"I'm fine, wait a minute, I'll ride over."

Zhang Chi was quite curious when he heard it, so he pulled Chi Yanshan out of the pasture again, and rode along the horse path to Burris' house.

When he arrived at Burris' house, Zhang Chi found that many small and medium-sized ranchers nearby had come, and dozens of people crowded Burkiska's living room to the brim.

There was a circle of old guys sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall, and Mason was also sitting there at the moment.

Zhang Chi turned around and found that he was not in the good neighbor. With his temperament that he wanted to integrate into Amber's circle, if someone invited him, he would definitely show up.

As for whether he hasn't come yet, this possibility is not very high. If horsemen like Zhang Chi have come, it is impossible for him not to come, and he must not have been invited.

Seeing this miserable American, Zhang Chi felt a little more relaxed, otherwise, he would have felt a little nauseous.No way, acting in the same bed with different dreams is indeed a bit tiring.

"George, George".

When everyone saw Zhang Chi enter the door, they greeted Zhang Chi casually.

After greeting everyone, Zhang Chi took off the cowboy hat on his head, took off his coat, and put them on the chair at the door, before entering the living room.

Seeing that Serior was chatting with Nell, Zhang Chi walked over.

"George"

Nell smiled at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

"What else can we talk about, about the Mason Racecourse?" Serior said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Chi said.

On the way, Zhang Chi was thinking about this matter. From his point of view, what else could be done, that is, everyone pooled money to solve the financial problems of the Mason Racecourse.

Now the most important thing about Mason Ranch is that there is an upcoming loan that cannot be paid. The bank will not be merciful to you. If you are overdue for one day, these guys will be able to count your property and sell it. They will not care Will you fall into the street, will you freeze to death in this heavy snow, they only care about two words: pay back the money!

According to what Zhang Chi heard in the bar, the loan is actually not much, about one hundred thousand dollars.

But this is a bit of a nonsense, why a hundred thousand dollars is not much, and the average American family is estimated to be less than half of the tens of thousands of dollars.

That is to say, now that Zhang Chi has earned money, he will feel that the one hundred thousand dollars is not much.

"Isn't this under discussion? There are two ways now. One is to see what you need at the Mason Racecourse, and you can buy it with money, so that Mason can repay the loan when he has money. The other is that everyone A contract for entrusting horse training to the Mason Racecourse. If there is a contract, Mason can refinance and repay the previous loan... ".

Serior said.

Nell whispered at this time: "If old Mason persists like this, it's only a matter of time before he loses the racecourse. With his level of horse training, as long as he doesn't try to become a dead end, running a racecourse is no problem."

Who in town doesn't know about this?

Guan Jian is whether the old Mason can turn this corner, Zhang Chi has a deep understanding of it, and the Chiyan Mountain trained by Mason is much easier to ride than the horse trained by Cannon.

After all, he is a professional horse trainer, which is really not comparable to a cowboy like Cannon.

Zhang Chi didn't care much, but the old Mason's plight, everyone was willing to lend a hand, which made Zhang Chi feel that such a thing was very heartwarming.

Although he is not worried that he will have such a day, he still appreciates this kind of mutual help between people, and it also makes him feel that people in Amber Town are not as ordinary as he thought.

So Zhang Chi decided to help Mason at this moment, but this kind of gang is not a young bird, let's see what everyone is going to do, he just follows the trend.

At this moment, Burris stood up, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention to himself.

"Neighbors, let's do this. The day after tomorrow, there will be a sale at the Mason Racecourse. Let's go and see what you like and need. If you need it, please donate generously. The few of us..."

Having said that, Boris made a virtual circle around the vicinity: "We are going to collect shares, buy Mason's red tank, and give Mason a training contract. In this case, in the second half of this year, Red Tank Then we can enter the competition, God bless us and make a lot of money."

The meaning of Burris is easy to understand. The few of them have invested in Mason. A racehorse in his hand was originally owned by the old Mason, but it has become a joint venture, that is, everyone has shares. After winning money online, several people will share the bonus according to their shares.

"Red Tank?"

Zhang Chi asked Serior beside him in a low voice.

Seriol explained to Zhang Chi in a low voice: "Old Mason's racehorse is quite a good one. It seems that Burris and the others want this red tank to fight on the field."

Nell asked, "What are the odds?"

"Who knows?" Seriol spread his palms, looking very helpless.

Who can guarantee the game?
No matter how good a horse is, it may lose its chain in the race. Many horse races with high voices in history show their original shape as soon as they enter the race. Many of them have parents who are kings. Racehorses worth millions.

Hearing about horse racing, Zhang Chi couldn't help but wondered in his heart. He wasn't sure. Raising cows with gourds could make them strong, but he didn't know whether raising horses could make them faster.

You need to know strength and speed, they are two different things, just like you can't let Shiwa run [-] meters, even if you let him go, he will only eat ashes.

At this moment, there is a tempting voice in Zhang Chi's heart: buy a thoroughbred horse for a try?
