pasture leisure

Chapter 16

Old Xu came and went in a hurry, without even drinking his saliva.

As soon as Lao Xu left, Zhang Chi was the only one left on the ranch, and then he began to flip through the webpage to see where there were cows to buy.

After looking for a long time, I didn't find any suitable ones. Either the place was too lucky, or the price was a bit expensive. Anyway, there was no rancher that Zhang Chi wanted, which was cheap and close to a place to sell his own calves.

After a whole day of tossing around, Zhang Chi was about to go out to buy vegetables at about ten o'clock the next morning, and was waiting to entertain the old Mo Cannon who was helping him in the evening. Who knew that Cannon called and said that the ranch had to work overtime at night and could not coming.

After hearing this, Zhang Chi didn't plan to leave the ranch anymore, but spent another day at the ranch, continuing to search for useful information on the Internet.

Today, I didn’t turn over cattle, but turned over some things that he thought could be used, such as drones for ranch, don’t look at places like Amazon, the things on it are a bit expensive for Zhang Chi, he I mainly look at Chinese sellers, websites such as overseas Taobao, most of the items on it are from China, the price is cheap, and the quality is also good.

Because he will go to Los Angeles to shoot a print advertisement in two days, Zhang Chi plans to order the things he wants to buy in these two days, and when he arrives in Los Angeles, he will drop by the seller to pick them up.

As for this thing, if you want it to be delivered to the door, Zhang Chi doesn’t want to spend the money, and the express delivery here means that there is a name of express delivery. It’s normal to wait for ten and a half months to buy something, no matter how long it takes Zhang Chi has already waited, so if possible, it's better to pick it up by himself, which is faster than any express delivery.

After looking around for a while, Zhang Chi found a business with good reputation. The positive rate is quite high, and the popularity is also good. Generally speaking, the quality of such shops is guaranteed.

I added the owner’s WeChat account, and the owner said that he runs a farm in Los Angeles, and the reverse online shopping is a sideline.

Hearing that Zhang Chi ran a ranch here, the owner talked about his own experience.

Can speak!

This is the owner's first impression of Zhang Chi, as well as his enthusiasm.

Xiang Zhangchi pushed a domestic drone for spraying pesticides, saying that it was the best-selling drone there, and many foreign farmers and ranchers came to him to buy it, and they talked a lot.

Zhang Chi didn't see the real thing either, so he told him to take a look at him when he went to Los Angeles in a few days.

In this case, then Zhang Chi will have to wait for the notification from Melika.

Melika's notice didn't come, but the auction in the small town over there was about to start.

Zhang Chi thought about it, and rented a trailer from the leasing company, hung it on his pickup truck, and headed to the auction town early in the morning.

One hour and twenty minutes, the living things that Zhang Chi saw on the way were either cattle, sheep or wild deer. From time to time, a group of American bison crossed the road arrogantly. I saw many animals and living people. A slap can be counted.

This is the west, the real land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many times more cattle and sheep than people.

Followed the navigation to the vicinity of the auction town, and the road gradually became lively. Because there was an auction, the town was crowded with a lot of people. Many people came with cattle and sheep, so on the way into the town, Cattle carts, large and small, can be seen everywhere.

The big car looks like a long-headed truck, while the small one is the same as Zhang Chi now, with a small trailer attached to the back of the pickup.

The traffic jam started from outside the town, but it was convenient for Zhang Chi. He didn't need to ask how to get there, and just followed the traffic jams to reach his destination.

The livestock auction house is not in the small town. If this thing is placed in the center of the town, in a place where people live, not to mention anything else, after an auction, it is estimated that the townspeople will have no way to settle down, and it will be full of cow dung and sheep Shit.

People may obey the rules, but cows and sheep will definitely not consider the place if they want to shit.

As soon as he arrived at the auction house, he found a place to stop the car. Before he got out of the car, Zhang Chi heard someone calling him.

"George, George!"

Zhang Chi didn't think it was calling him, but when he heard the voice, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look. Just like that, he saw Cannon waving at him with a smile on his face.

"Why did you come here too?"

Zhang Chi smiled and closed the car door and walked over.

In addition to Cannon, there are several other cowboys, a few Latino faces, and two or three white guys, all of whom are obviously Cannon's colleagues.

Zhang Chi greeted them with a smile, some responded enthusiastically, but some seemed a little perfunctory.

Zhang Chi didn't have time to argue with them, but turned his attention to Cannon.

"We're here to sell cattle".

Speaking of which, Cannon turned his head and pointed to the long-headed truck not far behind him.

The big truck is full of cattle.

The cattle raised on Cannon’s ranch are all pure beef cattle, and the breed is quite good. It seems that the car in front of me is Charolais cattle. This kind of cattle is native to France. The meat produced has less fat and lower cholesterol content Low, so it is more popular in the market.

It has to be said that after Zhang Chi bought the ranch here, his understanding of cattle can be regarded as half a foot into the door, and some commonly used cattle breeds can still be recognized.

Zhang Chi also likes this kind of cow, but he can only look at it now. This kind of cow is not something he can afford, nor does it mean that he can't afford it, but his budget can't buy a few calves.With the same money, it is better to raise some ordinary cattle than to buy such expensive cattle at the beginning.

"Excellent cow".

The cows are really good, and they are all very strong. Although Zhang Chi doesn't know much about them, he can guess a thing or two by looking at the cow's mental state and coat color.

"This batch of cattle is not bad, by the way, what are you doing here, to buy cattle?" Cannon asked.

"Well, come and have a look, buy a few ordinary cattle and go back," Zhang Chi said.

Cannon knew what kind of ordinary cattle Zhang Chi was talking about, so he said, "Then it will probably be in the afternoon. If my side goes well, I will find you then."

"That's fine!" Zhang Chi laughed.

"Cannon, work!"

Zhang Chi finally found an acquaintance here, and was about to talk a little more, when suddenly there was a shout.

Cannon laughed: "I'm off to work."

Zhang Chi nodded and watched Cannon take Xiaopao to work.

Zhang Chi had nowhere to go right now, so he walked around to the auction house and found that it was written on the bulletin board outside that pigs and sheep were being auctioned.

There was nothing wrong anyway, so Zhang Chi walked in to have a look.

The auction house is quite formal, and it is actually a house, which is rare in the vicinity. It is usually an open-air auction house, and there are very few such more formal houses.

The auction hall is circular. It looks like a stadium when you enter. There are stands. The goods to be auctioned are in the center, and the auctioneer occupies a high platform.

As soon as the front foot entered, Zhang Chi heard the auctioneer shouting at the top of his voice: "[-] yuan for the first time, [-] yuan for the second time...".

Two thousand three hundred?
Zhang Chi subconsciously looked at the things in the field.

When Zhang Chi found out that there was a little pig in the scene, he wondered if he had misread it a bit.

In the arena there was a little flowered pig running around, with its tail in a circle, grunting and haha, running around, I don't know why it was running, probably because it felt that its worth was a bit high.

"Two thousand three hundred yuan to buy a pig?"

Zhang Chi muttered, and then searched all over the place to see if it was the idiot who called the price. If there is a chance, he must make friends with such a idiot.

There are almost ten calves on top of one pig. Are you surprised that Zhang Chi is surprised?
While looking for Zhang Chi, he said to himself: "Is this pig made of gold? It costs [-] yuan."

There were quite a lot of people in the venue, and the attendance rate was almost [-] to [-]%. This is considered lively in the west, but despite the large number of people, Zhang Chi quickly locked in the bidders.

A middle-aged Caucasian man, he doesn't look like Zhang Chi is short of money from the looks of it, but he looks like a guy who takes money for money!

This made Zhang Chi feel a little bit jealous.

The pig for [-] yuan was sold, and the next three goats were also sold for [-] yuan, which made Zhang Chi feel that the world was a little unreal.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't stand it anymore, because these guys gave people the impression that what they took out of their pockets was not money, and it would be difficult to pick a steel out of their own pockets.

After going out for a walk, Zhang Chi realized that it is better to stay outside, the auction house is full of money now.

If you want to buy a cow, you will naturally have to go to the place where the cow is sold.

There are some stables around the auction house, some big and some small, the big ones are grouped, and some of the small ones only hold one cow.

Don't underestimate this cow, the price of such a cow can almost buy a herd of cows.

The cattle that can enjoy solitude are generally breeding cattle, that is, breeding bulls.

What is the most intuitive feeling of this kind of cow?
That's a big deal!
Huge stature!

Generally speaking, this kind of bull is larger than normal bulls, and the price can go up several times.

Zhang Chi is shutting up an Angus bull in the solitary pen in front of him now. You can only feel its beauty when you stand in front of it. It is like a small meat wall. The black hair is as shiny as satin. Generally, there are almost no bones all over the body, and it is not fat, but strong muscles.

be envious!

Zhang Chi likes Angus cattle very much, like the Angus cattle in front of him, it is estimated that it weighs about a ton, and it may be overweight. The price of such a breed of cattle will definitely not be cheap.

At this time, Zhang Chi knew that he had been here for eye addiction, and with the money in his pocket, he estimated that if he bought a bull of this type, his house and the herd would have to be used.

After walking around the bulls, Zhang Chi went to the cows again, listening to the cowboys talking about the cows from time to time.

After walking around this morning, Zhang Chi didn't feel tired at all. Like a woman shopping, Zhang Chi turned on his horsepower and almost looked around the auction house.

At noon, Zhang Chi casually bought a burrito from a small stall next to him. After filling his stomach, he returned to the car and wanted to squat for a while and wait for the market to open in the afternoon.
