Chapter 157 Planting Grass
After returning from Melika's ranch, Zhang Chi's mood fluctuates. The good thing is that he thinks that he will make more money, but the bad thing is that he can't beat the little girl like Melika.

Thinking of avenging her blood hatred, next time she must be skinned, and practiced fiercely for two days according to the martial arts on other people's videos.

On the first day, I came up hard and practiced for five or six hours, and I almost crippled myself.

I rested for a day on the second day, and continued to practice on the third day when my body recovered.

On the fourth day, Zhang Chi felt that he still wanted to convince others with virtue. Moreover, such a practice method was really tiring.

So from the fifth day onwards, Zhang Chi lay flat again.

On the sixth day, Melika came over with two fish and asked Zhang Chi to be the fish. By the way, he practiced Zhang Chi again, so Zhang Chi became ruthless again.

The next three days of crazy training, and then... started to convince others with virtue.

After convincing people with virtue for a few days, Brian finished his work and brought his belongings to the ranch to report.

"Boss, here I come."

Brian stopped his broken pickup at the door with great interest, entered the room and said loudly to Zhang Chi.

"Keep your voice down, we don't have that many people here," Zhang Chi laughed.

Brian smiled foolishly, clutching his baseball cap tightly.

"sit!"

He pointed to the chair next to him, motioning for Brian to sit down.

Brian sat down, and Zhang Chi and Brian set up a task: "When you get there, don't worry too much about other things, just watch them and record how much grass they mow and how much they get every time." Just bales of hay, don't let them take advantage of our pasture...'.

Brian nodded: "Boss, I see."

"In addition, they may not be so friendly. Try not to conflict with them alone. You will be the one who suffers at that time. Make it easy for others, just remember not to let them deceive you."

"Don't worry, even if they took an extra piece of grass...the grass stalk, I will remember it," Brian said.

"That's enough. The task is not too heavy. Just do some work if you want, and leave them alone if you don't want to. We mainly collect money here," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Brian asked, "Boss, have I been there?"

Zhang Chi thought for a while: "No need, you can go home for two days when you have nothing to do, and see your wife and children. Harvesting always has a cycle, and staying there in the middle is just doing nothing."

Brian was a little embarrassed: "Boss, I'm not married yet, and I don't have a wife or child."

Zhang Chi didn't find it strange either. Generally speaking, it is not easy for this kind of casual worker cowboy to find a wife. This is actually the same as in China. It is always difficult for poor children to find a wife.

"You can give yourself two days off without a wife and children," Zhang Chi laughed.

Brian didn't answer, but just looked at Zhang Chi with a silly smile.

When the person arrives and the matter is said, Zhang Chi has to resort to means.

What means?Of course it was money. What could be better than giving money to buy people's hearts?

Could it be that you asked Zhang Chi to get everyone a medal?Guan Jian just got it, unless this thing is played in gold, or let alone Brian, Cannon will not recognize it.

When the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team. Zhang Chi's principle of leading the team is one: give money!

"This is your salary for this month, and your settlement allowance. It's a total of [-] yuan. Save some money. The next payment will be on the [-]st and [-]nd of next month." Zhang Chi took out a bag from his pocket. The little green paper was handed over to Brian.

Brian is a bit strange, because now he pays later for his work, and he pays first when he encounters a boss for the first time.

"We are all like this. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me." Zhang Chi smiled and looked amiable.

"Okay, boss, I'm going out" Brian said after taking the money.

"Go." Zhang Chi waved his hand.

After leaving the house, Brian drove to the side of the RV, stopped the car, and walked towards the cowshed.

When I arrived at the cowshed, I helped Cannon to work together.

"Boss gave me a month's salary, as well as settlement allowance, hundreds of settlement allowance," Brian said.

Cannon laughed and said: "There will be more money like this in the future. BOSS is not a stingy person. Every time the ranch has income, he will give me a share. You will definitely have it by then. Work here with peace of mind. It’s done, and it’s much more satisfying than working in other places.”

Brian nodded. Like Cannon, he was a part-time worker. Although he was an American, he couldn't read a few big characters, almost equating to illiteracy.

You may not know that the illiteracy rate in the United States is 14%, that is, seven out of every fifty Americans are illiterate.

So Brian can't do anything except do some chores. It's not that he doesn't want to be a resident cowboy, but that people look down on him. Almost all the resident cowboys have worked on the same ranch for several generations. this way.

Cannon rolled up his sleeves at this time, and on his left shoulder was the crest of Zhang Chi Ranch.

Brian looked at the coat of arms with envy on his face: "Boss allows you to do this?"

Cannon didn't answer, he just said: "I'm going to work on the ranch until I can no longer shovel cow dung and then retire."

Brian envied it because it was the sign of the resident cowboy, that is to say, Cannon was considered the resident cowboy of the ranch, and his life and the ranch were already closely linked.

And right now Brian had no face to brand the ranch on his arm.

Now many people will say that branding on the body is something that cows and horses do, but for cowboys, this kind of mark is loyalty and honor.

Zhang Chi didn't know that Cannon had done this. If he knew, he would say why bother, and don't engage in such formalism.Of course, turning his head, he felt delighted.

For the rancher, this is the cowboy's recognition of himself.

"Work hard, our BOSS will definitely not be satisfied with the current ranch, and will definitely expand it in the future, otherwise you will not be allowed to go to the ranch over there. You can only expand the ranch if you make money. If it weren't for me Things, BOSS may rent another ranch today." Cannon was a little emotional.

"Well, I believe." Brian nodded.

The cowboys under him have hope and confidence. If Zhang Chi knows, he will feel that we are under great pressure!

The two of them were muttering to work. With Brian's help, today's work was done very quickly. After the work was done, Cannon and Brian started weaving leather strips again. These leather cloths are for cows. , the cows in the pasture are going to give birth today, and bells have to be hung around their necks, so that they are easy to find. Of course, a more modern method is to hang a locator around the cow's neck.

However, Cannon felt that the old method must be used, and new equipment must be used. If the electronic products do not work, there is still the old method.

Zhang Chi is even lazier now. If he doesn't have anything to do, he inks, and if he has nothing to do, he just rides the horse for a couple of laps.

Brian stayed in the ranch for a week, then set off for Colorado, and a few days later, they said that the first [-]-acre ranch had been leveled, and Zhang Chi was allowed to pass by.

The night before Zhang Chi was going to set off, he brought a few grasses into the gourd, planted the grass and watered the gourd, and in an instant, the grass spread out a large area, and then the grass seeds hung all over the tops like rice .

Holding the cloth bag, Zhang Chi was still preparing to harvest, but with a thought, the seeds went into the cloth bag, which saved Zhang Chi a lot of time.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chi drove his pickup truck to Colorado. There were a hundred acres of grass seeds in the trunk, which weighed almost two tons. If it wasn’t for the gourd, Zhang Chi estimated that an agricultural checkpoint would have passed. It will take some time.

The car drove into the ranch.

Apart from Brian, only Langdon came to pick up Zhang Chi, but Eric, who was actually in charge of the entire ranch, was not there.

Zhang Chi didn't care about these, and just asked Langdon to take the seeds off the pickup truck and prepare to plant them.

Langdon also made full preparations. Although he didn't like Zhang Chi, they had to do what Melika made up her mind to do.

It’s not that Eric doesn’t have a little bit of abacus here. First, open a hundred acres. If the seeds brought by Zhang Chi, a liar, are not good, then even if there is damage, it is within a controllable range. More than [-] acres Anyone with a brain can tell who is bigger and who is smaller than a hundred acres.

Let's not talk nonsense, and start planting when the seeds arrive.

A farm like this cannot be artificial and fully mechanized, and the machinery here is much more abundant than that of Zhangchi Ranch. Let's put it this way, the machines here are enough to buy two or three Zhangchi's size. pasture.

I have to say that agricultural machinery in the United States is really expensive, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is really a bit overwhelming for small ranchers.

Zhang Chi rode on the horse and watched the cowboys drive the planter to sow the seeds.

Next to him was Brian, who was also on a horse.

There were only two people left, so Zhang Chi asked, "How are you doing here?"

Brian smiled wryly: "No one here wants to talk to me."

Zhang Chi smiled after hearing this, and reached out to pat Brian lightly: "When our grass grows, they will talk to you."

"I don't care." Brian didn't care what the cowboys here thought at all. He came here with one mind: to keep the ranch's money, and don't let these people take advantage of the loopholes.

Once the field is sown, the next step is watering.

At this time, Zhang Chi rode to the big water storage tank, dismounted and climbed up the escalator.

Langdon, who was directing at the side, saw it and walked over.

"George, what are you doing?"

Zhang Chi thought: What are you doing, don't add a little gourd pulp, do you think that the seeds of big beard can germinate with just this water?

I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it like that.

"Let me see how the water quality is?"

As he said that, Zhang Chi put his hand into the jar and stirred it, then directed the gourd to pour a little gourd pulp into it.

The gourd pulp instantly dissipated when it met the water, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that the water in this jar seemed to be different, shimmering slightly.

After climbing down from the water tank, Zhang Chi said, "The water quality is okay."

Langdon didn't speak. He just felt that Zhang Chi, an Asian, was putting on airs.

"Simon, start sprinkling".

"Not too much," Zhang Chi said quickly, "If you sprinkle too many seeds, they will rot."

Langdon listened and said, "Do as George says."

Simon asked puzzledly, "What's more?"

"Let me see if you spill it," Zhang Chi said.

As soon as the water was sprayed, Zhang Chi said: "Just a little less, [-]% of the amount is enough."

Simon fine-tuned it, and Zhang Chi gave it a thumbs up.

The whole process was quite smooth, everyone is an old cowboy, so how can Zhang Chi teach me more about planting grass.

　Adding a new chapter, I still have a chance to be the leader. Hey, I saw a big reward for the leader a day or two ago, but the code word is slow on the stone side. I always wanted to add more, but I didn’t make time. It's time, sorry, it's a little late.

　　Congratulations to the first leader of this book, thank you Stone!
