pasture leisure

Chapter 15
After bathing Chiyan Mountain, Zhang Chi took advantage of the opportunity to rinse himself in the small river, waiting for one person and one horse to come ashore. The horses were naked, and the people were almost naked.

Back at the caravan, Zhang Chi changed into clean clothes by himself, and began to dry off Chi Yanshan.

Wipe very carefully, not letting go of any place, especially the back of the horse's ears, and the underarms of the four hooves. Anyway, as long as Zhang Chi can see it, he has carefully wiped it with a towel.

Chiyanshan also enjoys this kind of service very much. When Zhang Chi wiped off the water, Chiyanshan also lowered his horse's head, and gently scratched Zhang Chi's back with his horse's mouth. itching.

When one person and one horse get along, it is called harmony.

However, a burst of electronic reminder Zhang Yin broke this warm scene.

Zhang Chi put the towel on Chi Yanshan's back, turned around and came to the small table, reached out and pressed the screen of the table to see who sent the message.

Originally, he didn't plan to answer it, but when he saw that it was from Li Qiao, he reached for his phone.

"Brother, what's the story over there?" Li Qiao asked.

Zhang Chi understood that this enthusiastic brother Li was talking about building a house for himself, so he replied: "I will come here in a few days, but the exact date has not been determined yet."

Just about to put down the phone, Li Qiao's message came quickly.

"Why is this person like this? You wait for me to urge him. You didn't tell me why the originally straightforward person procrastinated this time. If you had to tell me earlier, I would have urged him..." .

Li Qiao replied.

Zhang Chi was really amused by this brother Li whom he had known not long ago, and felt that this man was good to be with, not to mention anything else, just talking about his enthusiasm made people feel warm in his heart.

"I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Chi said.

"It's not a problem with the general house car. I'll call him later. This old boy is a lamp, so he can't light it or turn it on," Li Qiao replied.

Zhang Chi waited for more than ten seconds and saw no reply, so he continued to finish Chi Yanshan.

Just as he put down the towel, he heard the phone ring.

After answering the phone, he apologized first, and then said that he would come over tomorrow to see the land situation on Zhang Chi's side.

Zhang Chi naturally had no objection, and hung up the phone after a few polite words with this man.

Next, Zhang Chi has to fill his stomach. As for Chiyan Mountain?Grass all over the ground is not enough for it to build, Zhang Chi doesn't have to worry about what it eats.

Chi Yanshan, who had untied the bridle and saddle, wandered around the pasture at will, but it may have arrived in a new environment, so it didn't go far, just quietly gnawed the weeds on the ground near the small mound.

Zhang Chi cooked instant noodles for himself, added a sausage, and finished today's meal.

As soon as it got dark at night, Zhang Chi got into the RV, checked the video to see if there was any new auction information today, felt sleepy, turned off the lantern, and fell asleep in bed.

In the morning, Zhang Chi was talking about ideals and voices with Duke Zhou's daughter, when suddenly a crisp knock on the door woke Zhang Chi up.

I opened my eyes and looked around, my mind was in a daze.

Boom boom boom!
Hearing the knock on the door again, Zhang Chi followed the sound and looked over, only to find a huge head stuck outside the window of his RV.

Shocked!
When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was Chiyan Mountain.

Now this guy is turning his face sideways, looking at Zhang Chi in the car with his huge horse eyes open.

"You boy don't sleep, what are you doing knocking on my window? That old bastard Mason taught you that?" Zhang Chi lifted the quilt on his body and got out of bed, muttering while getting up.

Boom boom boom!
"Stop knocking, didn't you see it?" Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi didn't know that a horse in Chiyan Mountain felt a little lonely outside, and now it wanted to have a living creature to accompany him, and Zhang Chi was the only living creature in the whole ranch except himself, but who would Zhang Chi look for?

Zhang Chi got up and brushed his teeth and washed his face. Seeing Zhang Chi coming out, Chi Yanshan ran to a place not far from Zhang Chi and continued to gnaw grass.

At this moment, the sun has jumped out from the eastern ridge, and the sun is already a bit hot, it is not suitable to look at it with eyes. The whole pasture is brightly lit, and the birds on the treetops are constantly chirping and making noise, and they don’t know if they are full. I couldn't hold it anymore, and I still discussed where to find something delicious. In short, it was endless.

This morning, Zhang Chi didn't go anywhere, because the builder on the phone yesterday was coming to see his terrain.

For breakfast, Zhang Chi cooked some millet porridge for himself, and then baked a piece of finger cake bought in the supermarket, a small piece of fried beef with fresh lettuce, and a lot of tomato sauce, rolled it up and grabbed it with his hands, one bite Finger cakes, a mouthful of millet porridge, what a comfort to eat for breakfast.

After eating, I simply cleaned up, and then rode on Chiyan Mountain and circled the ranch. This time, I was not playing, but walking along my ranch to see if there was any place to repair the fence.

The fence of Zhang Chi’s ranch is almost composed of three parts. The two parts belong to the dividing line between his ranch and the two adjacent pastures. The fences in these two places are quite good. Needless to say, the fence of Xiongshi Ranch is rich. This money is not bad at all, so the fences are about [-] meters high with two layers of iron nets. Let alone a cow, it is not easy for a rabbit to get through here.

The fence of another ranch is also quite strong. People used thick tree stumps to drive into the ground, and the height of the exposed ground is about [-] meters. There are three strong wooden rails, and it is impossible for cattle and sheep to penetrate. .

The worst fence is Zhangchi Ranch’s own, which blocks the ranch from going up the mountain. Of course, it’s not to prevent the animals on the pasture from going up the mountain, but to prevent the animals on the mountain from getting into the pasture.

This fence was obviously built temporarily when the pasture was divided. Wooden stakes as thick as arms were inserted into the ground, and a few simple wires were twisted together to form a fence.

The length of this fence is about four to five hundred meters. Zhang Chi rode on Chiyan Mountain, frowning from the beginning to the end, and wanted to repair the fence, but thought about his wallet, and only sighed.

Repair this thing as soon as you make money!
Zhang Chi thought to himself.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the RV, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Where are you? I'm almost at the gate of your ranch. By the way, I'm standing at the gate of that ranch. Should I turn left or right when I go to your place?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chi immediately understood where this person is now: "You go east, the road ends at the end, and it's just my family."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he urged Chi Yanshan to run towards the gate of his ranch.

At the door, after waiting for less than two or three minutes, I saw a broken pickup truck driving by.

"Boss Zhang?!"

"It's me, please come in, please come in".

At this moment, Zhang Chi has already opened the gate of his ranch.

"It's not easy to find you here."

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Xu, who had been here from China for almost twenty years, and now a few of them live in Great Falls, living a good life and belonging to the middle class.

Old Xu has a square face and a blue baseball cap with the Bulls logo embroidered on his head. It seems that this is a Bulls fan.

But it's hard to say, maybe he just likes this hat.

He is very rough, like a middle-aged rough man with stubble on his face.

But here, this kind of dress is manly. If it is more refined, it will probably become a sissy in the eyes of cowboys. It is no problem for a man to dress delicately in a big city, but he will probably be laughed at when he goes out here. It's not that useful in this conservative place in the West.

"The place is a bit off," Zhang Chi said.

"Go and see your land".

Lao Xu didn't show much courtesy to Zhang Chi, and directly asked to see the land, so Zhang Chi took him to the small mound.

The land is actually nothing to look at. The house Zhang Chi wants to build is at the lowest level of technology. To put it bluntly, it is almost equivalent to a domestic board house.

Because the money in the pocket is limited, so many things that cost money are saved, such as digging the foundation and then filling it with stones, doing waterproof treatment and then pouring cement, etc. No, just put a few simple piles on the ground, and then build a house on the piles. It's done, it doesn't take much time for a job like this, it can be completed in half a month at most.

In addition, the two of them also confirmed their location on WeChat, so this time when Lao Xu came here, he simply took a look at the scene, and when he returned, he prepared the ingredients and started work.

"The place is really nice, and the quiet scenery is good too." After seeing the place, Lao Xu said politely to Zhang Chi.

"Well, the scenery is naturally better," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Lao Xu didn't ask why he didn't build a bigger house in such a big place. This question is nonsense. Whoever has money in his pocket doesn't want to make himself live more comfortably, and Zhang Chi doesn't want to build. house?It's not because money doesn't allow it!

"I've done some calculations here, and it will be ready in about a week, and we'll start working after it's ready," Old Xu said as he started to get down to business.

Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, we can build it when it is convenient for you."

It's a bit annoying to ask for this and that if you want to save money. Anyway, the weather is not cold now, and Zhang Chi can afford to wait.

"Well, I also want to buy a farm, but it seems that there is nothing suitable. I have been looking at it for three or four years, and it is either determined by someone or the price is too expensive. Over the years, there have been more people buying land here... "Old Xu suddenly complained.

Zhang Chi also knows about this. Now, Chinese people can be seen in larger cities. In the past, most of the people who came to the United States were concentrated in cities like Los Angeles and New York, but now there are many Chinese in Folsom. Let alone elsewhere.

But the Chinese people who come out now are different from before. Now these people come to the United States to buy houses or land, and each of them seems to have a posture of riding a crane to Yangzhou with millions of dollars in their pockets. Buy, buy, buy, buy, these people spend money. He is not relentless when it comes to money, and he doesn't know where the money comes from.

"Look slowly, this kind of thing can't be rushed," Zhang Chi said casually.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to rush to Edburgh, and there is still a project over there." Lao Xu remembered that he still had work to do, so he said goodbye to Zhang Chi.

"Stay here for a meal, it will be noon soon." Zhang Chi felt that we Chinese should have the courtesy that we should have.

Old Xu looked at his watch: "No need!"

"By the way, what should I prepare? For example, what are you eating?" Zhang Chi said.

Old Xu said: "No, we will solve it ourselves at that time. You don't need to bother with this matter. We will consider all these things if you work more in other places."
