Chapter 161 Surging
Standing at the door of the house, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, while admiring the scenery outside.

On the snow field in front of the house, Moji was playing with the snow. The little guy was very excited today, rolling around on the snow field, his body was covered with snow scum after a while.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the snow is beginning to melt, but when the snow melts, the temperature at night will be very low. As the old saying goes, snow cannot melt snow.

The snowflakes absorb the temperature, and the low temperature at night freezes part of the unmelted snow into an ice shell.

So when the ink rolls up, it is no longer the previous creaking sound, but a slight clicking sound.

Sometimes Moji would be startled by a sudden loud sound.

Zhang Chi looked at the ink rolling happily, with a smile on his face.

Looking away from Moji, Zhang Chi saw the small fruit trees brought by Lao Xu. After nearly a year of growth, these small fruit trees have grown a lot taller. Although they are all bare now, the branches are still growing. kind.

I haven't paid much attention to these trees, but when I saw them today, Zhang Chi walked towards the small fruit forest.

The small trees are quite thick, almost as thick as the mouth of a small bowl. Some trees are taller, and some are shorter. For example, the jujube tree is quite tall. Zhang Chi standing under the tree is very tall. You have to look up to see the branches above.

Peach, apricot, and pear trees are shorter, and the branches can be seen when standing in front of the trees.

"It's about to bloom."

Standing under the peach tree, Zhang Chi stretched out his hand to grab a branch, and observed it carefully in front of his eyes. The branches were already covered with flower buds, each of which was slightly green with a little purple, and when it reached the edge of the calyx, there was a hint of green. Seeing it through, in the eyes full of snow and white, people feel a little happy.

Moji came to Zhang Chi's feet at this time, rubbing his body against his master's leg.

"What are you doing here to rub against me all in the snow?" Zhang Chi lowered his head and scolded Mo Zi.

After a few strokes, a wet mark appeared on Zhang Chi's pants.

The ink stopped rubbing, and he stood honestly at Zhang Chi's feet. After a while, he couldn't stay still anymore. He came under the tree and stretched out his front paws to grab the tree trunk.

The two paws rubbed against the trunk to make a cracking sound, and soon there were paw prints on the trunk.

"Don't get me a tree. I'm still waiting to eat fruit this year. You scratched the bark. If you kill the tree, see if I don't hang you up." Zhang Chi stretched out his hand to shoot Touch the ink's head, let it have a long memory.

Seeing the owner's hand clapping, Mo Zhi immediately closed his eyes, and closed the two ears on his forehead, but his ears seemed a bit hard, so he could only turn them around once, but he wanted to achieve the two dogs and three dogs. Folding the airplane ears is unlikely.

Zhang Chi saw that Moji shrunk his head, so he just patted it on the forehead lightly, without using much force.

Feeling the master's palm, Moji rubbed Zhang Chi's palm with his head.

Cannon's evaluation of ink is trash, but Zhang Chi likes trash ink. Whether it is Ergou, Daniel or Erhu, they are far less favored than ink.

The main reason is that Mo Zhi is a mountain lion. Men seem to have an innate love for training and raising large beasts. How could Zhang Chi be an exception.

So he knows how to eat, and the well-behaved and sticky ink has become Zhang Chi's favorite at the moment.

And you can’t do any work, and there is no other use for it except eating meat and drinking milk. In the eyes of Cannon, ink naturally becomes the absolute value of waste that can’t do anything. It’s the first place to eat. kind of.

Pushing away the ink's head: "Get out of my tree".

Moji put down her two front paws, stepped aside and began to lick her own paws. Moji loves to be clean and cleans her body whenever she has free time.

A few trees are about to bloom, a few trees are still hibernating, and a few trees are about to shed their leaves.

Standing under a few trees, Zhang Chi really felt that the spring in the ranch was approaching.

"BOSS!"

Zhang Chi heard Cannon's voice and turned to look at him.

"Boss, Serior called just now and asked how our cattle are getting ready. He wants to arrange his own cows." Cannon shouted at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi replied, "Isn't everything arranged?"

Serior planned to let his own cows conceive Scarpit's children, not only Seriol, Nell, who had a good relationship with Zhang Chi, also had this plan to combine some of the scarpit seeds of his own cows.

Now the majesty of Scar Fart is well-known in the whole town of Amber, but some people have no idea and are going to see the direction of the wind. If the Serior family succeeds this year, then they plan to use Scar Fart next year. If not , then they use their own breeding cattle.

Zhang Chi didn't mind either. Although selling Scar Fart's seeds could make a little money, it seemed that it wasn't enough to arouse Zhang Chi's interest.

No way, some ranchers still look at the cattle in Zhang Chi's ranch with colored glasses, and Zhang Chi can understand their calculations.

Cannon said: "The arrangement is arranged, but the price has not yet been set."

The cattle breed has been taken and is now in the refrigerated tank of the veterinarian, but the current market price is fluctuating, so Serior came to confirm.

"Whatever the other family's seeds are, let's just be what they are for the time being." Zhang Chi didn't think too much about it. Now that he has the income from Melika's land as a base, Zhang Chi really doesn't like this small amount of money.

"Our neighbors heard they were going to buy cattle," Cannon said loudly again.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Chi's spirit immediately lifted: "Really?"

Cannon said: "Well, I heard from other cowboys that not only buying cattle, but their ranch has already started to recruit cowboys, and now Bohr is the cowboy in charge of their ranch."

"Bohr? Sao... How's your strength?" Zhang Chi almost said what he was thinking. If the cowboy in charge is angry, the color of the good neighbor's hat may be more green, which can just match the coming spring .

Sometimes my pasture is green at a glance, and the head of this good neighbor is green, so green and thriving.

"It's pretty good. I've been working for almost [-] years. I heard that our neighbors pay a high salary, two thousand dollars a month. The cowboys in the neighborhood have already spread the word," Cannon said with a smile.

"Two thousand? He's crazy."

Zhang Chi felt that his neighbors were really worthless. When he was earning money in China, he gave a little money to the domestic work, but when he spent money in the United States, he looked like he was taking money inappropriately.

Let's say two thousand more, how can there be such a market here, isn't this frankly messing up the market?
But Zhang Chi is not worried at all, because the wages he gave to Cannon and Brian are the same as those of the big guys, but Zhang Chi will give everyone some excuses from time to time.

It is not Zhang Chi who does it by himself occasionally. All ranchers will send out more during busy farming seasons, or cowboys with long legs will also run.

If it is not paid, a salary of more than [-] U.S. dollars a year can only support life. You only give money to eat, and you want people to be loyal. Anyway, Zhang Chi dare not dream like this.

To be honest, this kind of boss is the most in the country. They pretend to be dead when they send out money, and they force you to work hard by pouring chicken soup in normal times.Thieves are no longer a thing.

Pooh!
This kind of person made Zhang Chi disdainful.

"How old is this Bord?" Zhang Chi felt that this guy must be quite old.

"Over sixty," Cannon said.

Disappointed!

Why can't he be a young, strong and handsome guy, with the best looks that can make the neighbor's left-behind women see how rippling the spring is!

The whole old man?

failure!

"What kind of cow did you buy?" Zhang Chi felt a little bad all of a sudden.

It's a pity that I didn't follow my own script, and I couldn't see the second devil's family ruined at the fastest speed.

Hurry up if the scum doesn't die, is there still justice in this world, is there still law?

"I don't know, but it must be a breed of cattle. Who doesn't know that their family is rich?" Cannon said with a smile.

For Cannon, a salary of [-] yuan cannot attract him, but doing so will definitely cause dissatisfaction among most of the ranchers around, because if you pay such a high salary, they will be passive.

It is impossible to increase the wages, because everyone only has that little profit. If the wages of the cowboys are increased, they should stop raising cattle and sell the ranch directly.

"Well, I see".

Zhang Chi said something to Cannon.

Cannon had nothing else to do, went into the house to pick up a pot of coffee and continued working.

After returning to the house with the ink, Zhang Chi changed his clothes and went to work in the cowshed.

In the afternoon, the bar opened, and Zhang Chi rode on Chiyan Mountain to the bar to sit for a while.

After entering the bar and sitting in the old seat, Zhang Chi still had a bottle of beer and a plate of snacks in front of him, drinking while listening to the cowboys' nonsense.

"There are a little few people today," Zhang Chi glanced at the room and said to Kimberly.

Kimberly said: "A lot of cowboys have moved on, and there will be fewer people during this time. What about you, no one asked you for help?"

"Nell invited me to help tomorrow night, in two or three days," Zhang Chi said.

"Your ranch is better, there is no need to change the scene," Kimberly said.

Ha ha!Zhang Chi smiled and didn't answer.

At this time, the two cowboys walked in talking and laughing together.

When the cowboys in the room saw the two people coming in, they asked one after another, "Have you passed?"

"Passed, now ready to go to work"

The cowboy who just came in had a beaming face.

Zhang Chi was a little strange.

Seeing Zhang Chi's expression, Kimberly said, "Your neighbor recruits cowboys, and the salary is quite high."

Now Kimberly says that Zhang Chi’s neighbor is Zhang Chi’s neighbor. It can be seen that this man who wants to blend in with Amber looks like in the eyes of the townspeople. Of course, this refers to ranchers. Cowboys, especially the cowboys who work part-time, are still very happy. happy.

"May God bless him." Zhang Chi smiled, raised the wine bottle in his hand and said.

Kimberly smiled.

Cowboys all over the bar are now talking about hiring.

For casual cowboys, the most attractive thing is their salary. Now that someone pays a salary of [-] yuan a month, it is natural to rush to do it.

And Bohr, an old cowboy, is also very concerned about the owner who has given enough money. He is very careful in picking the cowboys. Because he knows the cowboys around here, the cowboys he picks out are naturally better. .

This is also normal. The old cowboy Bohr and his good neighbor Zhang Chi have no personal grievances. Naturally, he puts the ranch first.

However, in Zhang Chi’s view, the impact of his good neighbors has just begun, and good temporary workers have been picked away, so the remaining ranch mainly wants to recruit good manpower, either by raising wages or increasing the number of cowboys on the current ranch. salary.

Zhang Chi's good neighbor is like a loach that got into a catfish pond, suddenly disturbing the peaceful town of Amber and making it lively.
