pasture leisure

It's so easy to cheat my little girl for tens of thousands, Zhang Chi's mood is not good, and he is happier seeing Melika smiling all day long. As for what Melika said she wanted to eat, Zhang Chi immediately satisfied , what the hell to eat can eat up a hundred thousand.

For this reason, Zhang Chi slaughtered a sheep directly, and ate a mutton skewer happily in the evening.

In the morning, I sent the little girl... oh, no, the rich lady away, Zhang Chi hummed a little tune, and drove his second-hand pickup to the entrance of the town to meet Nell and the others.

"Why are you so happy today?" Nell asked curiously when he saw Zhang Chi smiling.

Zhang Chi replied: "I made a little money."

"That's fun," Nell laughed.

Zhang Chi asked, "Why hasn't Seriol arrived yet?"

"Isn't it coming?" Nell stretched out his finger on the road.

Zhang Chi took a look, and it turned out that Seriol's old-fashioned pickup truck appeared in sight.

Nell said, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he walked towards his pickup.

Zhang Chi asked, "Why don't you rent a cattle cart?"

Nell just opened the car door, and when he heard Zhang Chi's question, he paused and explained: "The cattle we bought can't be handled by a small cattle cart, don't worry, we can directly hire a cart where we bought cattle If you are lucky, you can have the cattle owner help you transport them back.”

Zhang Chi nodded and got into his car.

Seriol's car came over, everyone said hello in the car, and then drove towards the town where the cattle are sold today.

The town where the cows are sold today is not far from Amber, about an hour's drive, about eighty or ninety kilometers.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Chi found that it was different from the cattle sale he had seen last time. There was no auction venue here. The auction venue Zhang Chi said was the regular one with a roof. With an iron frame, it is a bit like a simple court.

The outside is full of cattle, and almost all of them are miscellaneous cattle. Some breeds of cattle are also common Simmental or the American cattle breed with long horns.

There is no special fence for storing cattle here. It is directly tied into the ground one by one, and a rope is hung in this way, and the fence is the playground for the cattle of each family.

The three of them found a place to stop the car, and then turned around the field.

To be exact, Zhang Chi followed Neil and Serior, watching them ask for a price.

Last year, Zhang Chi bought cattle by auction. Only then did he know that there is such a way of buying and selling here, and he directly negotiates with the owner of the cattle.

Cattle prices vary. Even for calves of the same breed, the price depends on the body size, and the degree of fatness and thinness varies. Calves of the same age, large and fat calves are also expensive, and there is little room for bargaining. The owner of the cattle prefers to put it up for auction, rather than to trade privately here.

Of course, for ordinary calves, the owner is happy to sell them privately, which saves some time and auction fees.

The three of them have won several batches of calves, but all the owners of the cattle want to be auctioned instead of privately traded, which makes the three of them a little helpless.

After wandering for more than an hour, none of the three of them bought a cow.

Nell said to Zhang Chi and the two, "Why don't we go to the auction place to have a look?"

Serior nodded.

If Zhang Chi had any opinions, he nodded accordingly.

The three of them walked towards the open-air auction.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the venue, Zhang Chi's cell phone rang, and when he took it out, he found a text message, and the bank reminded him that $[-] had been credited to his account.

Zhang Chi was stunned when he saw the amount of money. He knew where the money came from, but the amount was wrong.

"You go in first, I'll come and find you later, I'll make a call," Zhang Chi said to Nell and Seriol in front.

After speaking, Zhang Chi took his mobile phone and found a place where there were not many people and made a call.

After two rings, Melika's voice sounded.

"Hey, why is it only fifty-eight thousand, less than half of the amount?" Zhang Chi asked.

Melika said calmly, "You can't figure it out halfway?"

"I said yesterday that I would not pay the money," Zhang Chi said.

Melika said: "Everyone is doing business in partnership, and the cost will naturally be shared. Do you need me to tell you the truth?"

"We agreed yesterday," Zhang Chi said.

Melika smiled and replied: "Yes, but is there a contract? I can't go back on my word now. It's just the money. If you don't want it, call me back. If you want it, go to work!"

"..." Zhang Chi was speechless.

"Just tease me if you dare, right?" Zhang Chi said after a while.

Melika was very straightforward: "Of course, it costs [-] yuan per mouth. Are you crazy or am I crazy? What kind of medicine costs so much? You must be trying to trick me, even if you put ginseng It’s not worth so much money. Oh, I forgot to tell you, our family is still in the Chinese medicine business.”

"You fooled me?" Zhang Chi said.

Melika said: "Come on, let me tell you the price of Chinese medicine exported to the United States...".

Zhang Chi was dumbfounded, because he heard that Melika really quoted a series of prices to himself. Although he didn't know if it was true or not, Zhang Chi sounded like it was real because he could find it.

"Your family still makes this?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised.

Melika said: "What do you think? The best Chinese medicine is now in the United States!"

Zhang Chi really didn't know this.

What Melika said is a bit exaggerated, but it is also part of the truth. There are a lot of Chinese medicine practitioners in the United States, and there are more good Chinese medicine practitioners. How much money do you think a Chinese medicine practitioner can earn in China in a year?The United States directly offers an annual salary of [-] to [-] U.S. dollars a year to poach people, and many outstanding doctors in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have come here.

Especially for acupuncture and bruises, which can see the effect immediately, it is especially welcomed by sports groups.

Many people in China call Chinese medicine a liar and exaggerate Western medicine, but Chinese medicine in the United States has shown a good momentum of development.

The same is true of Chinese herbal medicines. The best domestic Chinese herbal medicines are now exported to Japan or Western countries, while the domestically used medicinal materials are mediocre.The export of good medicinal materials is still popular. The Japanese directly registered Qianjinfang, which really slapped a group of so-called experts who went to Chinese medicine.

"Take my money and work hard, don't let me be lazy, if the cattle are not raised well, be careful and I will beat you," Melika threatened.

"..." Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, and scolded a few more bad words in his heart.

After receiving the phone call, Zhang Chi's mood suddenly turned bad again. The money he originally wanted to get was suddenly cut in half, so it's no wonder he was in a good mood.

Pulling an old face into the auction area.

There weren't too many people in the auction area. There were a few hundred people sparsely sitting on dozens of iron shelves, and it was easy to see Nell and Serior.

Sitting next to the two of them, they didn't notice the change in Zhang Chi's face, because now everyone's attention is on the calf being auctioned on the field.

Now the cowboys drove in a group of calves in the open space in the middle of the field, and there were more than [-] calves at one time.

Pack and sell!The price per head is only about two hundred yuan, neither expensive nor cheap.

The three discussed it and came up with a price, but it was quickly overtaken by others.

"More?" Nell asked Serior.

Serior opened his mouth and said, "How about another three hundred dollars?"

Zhang Chi had no objection, so Nell raised his hand and shouted three hundred.

The auctioneer standing in the field saw Nell raised his hand, and began to quote a new price.

After yelling a few times, seeing that no one added more in the field, he began to count the seconds.

Originally thought that this batch of calves had been obtained, who knew that the auctioneer raised the wooden hammer, and someone added a few hundred more.

Nell stopped raising his hand now.

So the three of them missed this group of calves again.

The whole auction process was quite fast. Before this batch of calves was driven out of the empty field, another batch of calves was driven in by cowboys at the entrance on the right.

This batch of calves was of higher quality than the previous batch. The three discussed it, raised their hands four times, and bought this batch of calves.

By noon, the three of Zhang Chi took down two batches of calves, a total of more than [-] heads.

Now the amount that the three of them want is not much different, it looks like two or three hundred heads, so after the three of them ate something outside the venue, they no longer entered the auction venue, but just walked outside. .

Looking at the price, Zhang Chi quickly bought more than [-] calves. The quality of these calves was average, and the quality was slightly below average.

Nell and the two were not optimistic, but Zhang Chi regarded it as his own because it was cheap.

After the cattle are bought, the next step is to load them into the trucks. With Nell and Serior, two veterans, Zhang Chi's job is to drive the cattle.

After talking about the car, the cattle were driven into the car. The three of Zhang Chi drove the car ahead, and the big truck for transporting cattle followed.

First went to Seriol's house to unload the cattle, then went to Zhang Chi's house, and finally Nell's house, settled the bill for the driver who delivered the goods, and the three began to count.

The last [-] calves were paid by Qian Zhangchi himself, and the calves that were auctioned earlier were divided according to the number they wanted, good or bad.

After the accounts were settled, Zhang Chi gave Nell the money he should pay, and the trip to buy cattle was over.

"When the snow melts, shall we go up and down to hunt mushrooms?"

Nell asked Zhang Chi who was about to leave.

"Mushroom hunting?"

We usually say that we go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but we don’t call it that way here. They are called hunters, like mushroom hunters, gold hunters, as long as they pick mushrooms, they are called hunters.

Seriol explained with a smile at this time: "When the snow melts, mushrooms will grow on the mountain. These mushrooms are very delicious, and they taste great when made into mushroom cakes. So when spring comes, everyone will go to the mountains if they have nothing to do. Mushroom hunting, if you are interested, you can go. I will not go this time."

"I guess I don't have much time, I'm going to buy some machinery in two days," Zhang Chi said.

Serior asked curiously, "What kind of machinery do you want to buy?"

Zhang Chi said: "Four-wheelers, small forklifts or something."

These things can be bought from Brother Ma, but Zhang Chi bought more this time, and the price is more affordable if he buys them directly from China. After all, he doesn’t need to pay for shipping and customs duties.

Nell and the two didn't ask much, so everyone went back to their houses to take care of the calf they had just bought.
