Chapter 149 Buying a Horse
Boris and others said a lot, but Zhang Chi didn't hear it at all. He was thinking about one thing now, can he gourd and get a thoroughbred horse?

If you do it, you can make a lot of money, right?That would be nothing!
With Zhang Chi's character, he definitely wouldn't just take a big gamble and buy an excellent thoroughbred horse to try his luck at the racetrack.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but how can such a horse be cheap, good blood, well-proportioned, fast, can it be Zhang Chi's turn to pick up this cheap?

Once this kind of horse is born, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. The three melons and two dates in Zhang Chi's pocket are not enough for a watch on someone else's wrist, so why compete with others?
So Zhang Chi felt that he needed a road-finding stone. If the effect of the gourd was significant, then Zhang Chi would have to buy a good horse to make money on the track. If not, then Zhang Chi would not have any losses , Thousands of pieces, now it’s drizzle for Zhang Chi, Xiao Yixi!

Needless to say, this Pathfinder is at Mason's horse farm.

Zhang Chi felt that he was really smart to spend a small amount of money to do big things.

I was feeling beautiful in my heart, and felt that someone had patted myself, and turned my head to see that it was Nell.

"Going away," Nell said.

Only then did Zhang Chi realize that everyone in the room had stood up and walked towards the door. Some people near the door had already started putting on their coats.

Zhang Chi followed Nell and Serior to the door.

"George, are you free when spring starts?" Nell asked.

Zhang Chi thought for a while: "I don't know, but most of the time there is nothing wrong."

Nell said: "If there is nothing wrong, please do me a favor. It may take you two or three days to drive my animals back from the winter pasture."

Zhang Chi understood that this had to do with Nell's family's cattle moving from the winter pasture to the current pasture.

"Okay, if there is no major event then, I will definitely go," Zhang Chi said.

Nell nodded: "When the time comes, the wages will be calculated according to the cowboy's salary, can you?"

"We will talk about wages and so on at that time."

Americans usually give money when they ask you to work. The difference lies in whether others want it or not. Good friends will also accept money. Whether they accept money or not has little to do with them. In the relationship between people, if you don't accept it, people will think about when to return the favor.

Zhang Chi wants to experience the operation of an old ranch like a transfer. As for the money, it doesn’t matter, and the relationship between Nell and him is also very good. They can be regarded as good friends. If a friend asks for help, Zhang Chi will naturally not refuse .

Put on the coat and hat, Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain and bid farewell to Nell and others at the gate of the ranch. Zhang Chi walked on the horse path, while most of the others came by car, so everyone went in different ways.

All the way back to the ranch smoothly, Zhang Chi put Chi Yanshan into the stable.

"Boss, you've been drinking for a long time today, what happened?"

Cannon, who was working, saw Zhang Chi coming back, so he leaned on a shovel and asked.

Generally speaking, Zhang Chi's time to go to the bar will not be too long. If it takes too long, something must have happened. Cannon knows this clearly.

Zhang Chi said: "Old Mason's ranch is about to go bankrupt, and everyone is discussing how to help him."

Cannon said: "Even if it is pulled this time, what about the next time?"

Cannon has worked here for more than ten years, so how could he not understand the character of old Mason, so he can tell the key factors in it.

Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, he really couldn't help with this matter except himself.

"Forget it, I'm going to buy some horses," Zhang Chi said.

Cannon was surprised, and opened his mouth to ask: "Boss, we have a lot of horses in our ranch, and there are still five horses that have been kept in the stables. I don't think we should add more horses."

Now there are seven horses in the ranch, who will ride the more horses?It would be fair to say that it was also a tourist ranch, but now it’s just the two of them, why buy so many horses.

Even if you need it, just buy it when the time comes. Everything in the United States can be expensive, but horses can’t be expensive. There are tens of thousands of abandoned horses in the wild. When can’t you buy a horse?
It’s hard for Zhang Chi to say, I think Cannon’s equestrian training is average. When my grandparents come over in the summer, they want to ride a horse. Riding a horse trained by you is probably dangerous. I feel more at ease riding a horse trained by Mason.

I had to say: "Buy more, wait for the pasture to expand, and we will use the horses we bred here."

Cannon didn't know what the BOSS was like, and this reason also made him feel a little nonsense, but the BOSS made a decision, so he stopped talking.

"Then I'll go with you at that time." Cannon was afraid that his boss's eyesight was not enough, so he bought a few rotten horses and came back.

Zhang Chi said: "That's natural. The day after tomorrow, let's go together the day after tomorrow. Then you can see what we can use at the Mason Racecourse, and buy it together if the price is suitable."

Cannon said: "There is really no need for the ranch. We also have agricultural machinery here. Although there are not many but enough, I can't think of anything else that is missing."

The agricultural machinery that Zhang Chi bought has arrived. The tractors, watering trailers, and pasture harvesting trailers are all infrequently used. You can just rent them when you want to use them.

"Let's see then, you go to bed early, I'll go back to the house first," Zhang Chi said.

"Okay, BOSS" Cannon said that he knew, bowed his head and continued to work.

When I got home, I fed the ink first, and Zhang Chi went to take a shower. When Zhang Chi came out, he found Santiao lying on the ink bowl not far away, staring at the ink that was eating.

Zhang Chi didn't even feed two dogs, how could he feed three now.

If Zhang Chi wants to survive, Santiao has to learn how to get enough food and clothing by himself. If you don’t catch mice, you have to catch birds. In short, there are many things to catch in the ranch. If you want to eat, you have to work hard. Want to be lazy?That's impossible.

As for why the ink is edible, because the ink is still a child of several catties, not to mention that the ink is no longer a cat, but a black mountain lion.

Which man does not have the dream of raising wild animals?Zhang Chi also has it, so it is certain that ink is loved.

Knelt down and knocked on Santiao's forehead twice: "Catch mice, what do you do with their bowls? It's really impossible to catch rabbits. When Ergou was your age, birds didn't dare to fall wherever he walked. See You are so cowardly."

After cursing two or three words, Zhang Chi came to Mo Zhi's side, stretched out his hand and stroked Mo Zhi's hair: "Good boy, eat slowly."

Santiao glanced at Zhang Chi, stood up and meowed a few times, and walked towards the door cursing.

After going to bed, the electric blanket was turned on, and the bed was warm. After digging into it and swiping his phone for a while, Zhang Chi was ready to sleep.

After sleeping for a while, I always felt something moving in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I found that ink was lying on the side of my head. This guy was snoring a lot, and it was directly directed at my ears.

"Go aside!"

Zhang Chi held the ink by the neck, and lifted the ink away from his head.

In the whole process, Mo Ji didn't open his eyes, and was picked up by Zhang Chi like a boneless pimp.

Keep sleeping.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Zhang Chi found that there was a fluffy head next to his neck. He didn't know when the ink came over again, and he was sleeping on his back.

Get up to work and make breakfast, and the rest of the day passed so plainly.

Woke up early this morning, Zhang Chi and Cannon finished the work on the ranch, had breakfast, drove the cows out of the cowshed, and cleaned up the cowshed.

Starting from the ranch at ten o'clock in the morning, both of them rode horses and did not drive, because Zhang Chi decided to buy a few horses today, so they thought it would be more convenient to drive the horses back than driving.

Originally, the two of them thought that since they came earlier, there should be no talented people at the Mason Racecourse, but who would have thought that the Mason Racecourse is actually full of traffic now.

There are a lot of people I know and don't know, and there are no fewer than twenty cars parked at the gate of the ranch.

This is a trivial matter in China, but in the small town of Amber, it is considered a big scene, except for various festivals, there are rarely so many cars gathered together.

"Why is she here?"

Seeing a car, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning.

Cannon followed the eyes of his boss and saw a large off-road vehicle. What is it if it is not the car that Melika usually drives?
"Miss Melika is here too," Cannon laughed.

"This little girl, she is really there wherever there is a bargain," Zhang Chi muttered.

Zhang Chi guessed correctly, Melika really came here to take advantage of it, she knew that Mason's reputation, although it has declined a bit in recent years, but an excellent trainer will always attract more attention.

Melika came here just to see if there were any leaks that could be picked up. As the saying goes, there is no benefit to get up early, and the possible benefits made Melika appear at the Mason Racecourse early in the morning.

Zhang Chi and Cannon were at the door, tied up their horses, and walked into the racecourse together.

Now all the riding horses in the racecourse have been driven out. It is understandable that if they do not come out, the thoroughbreds and thoroughbreds cannot be allowed to come out.

There are not many people who want to buy these horses, so there are not many people around the fence. The sparse five or six people are far less than the number of people in the stables over there.

Cannon asked Zhang Chi at this time: "Boss, how many horses do we want to buy?"

"Four horses, four horses," Zhang Chi said.

Cannon nodded, and began to look around the fence.

On Zhang Chi's side, he chatted with the guy watching the fence. There are so many people here today, Mason must not be able to greet him alone, so there are still some volunteers in the racecourse, that is, they don't charge money for nothing. The living people are all people nearby, and Zhang Chi naturally knows them, so when Cannon picked up the horse, Zhang Chi was chatting with these people.

"Why are there so many people here?" Zhang Chi asked.

"I want to come here to see what I can pick up. Mason's horse training is well-known throughout Folsom. Now that they hear that Mason's racecourse is going bankrupt, these people naturally want to come and have a look."

Just when Zhang Chi was chatting with others, Melika's voice came from next to his ear: "Why are you back? When did you come back?"

Zhang Chi turned his head and found Melika staring at him, as if he shouldn't come back.
