pasture leisure

Chapter 277 News of the Bison Herd
Accompanying Lao Xu to catch rabbits for almost two days, and got more than [-] rabbits. Zhang Chi felt that all the rabbits in his pasture should be empty, so Elder Xu accepted his magical powers.

Zhang Chi followed Lao Xu to peel the rabbits together. There was no other way. There were only two idlers on the ranch, and there was a slightly idle Melika. Lao Xu didn’t dare to ask her to come over to help, so it was better for Zhang Chi to deal with it.

"Put the rabbit away, I'll make a jacket with it later." Seeing that Zhang Chi had peeled off another piece of rabbit skin, Old Xu added another sentence.

Zhang Chi has heard these words several times. Rabbit skin is such a good thing, and it is still rabbit skin at this time.

If he wants to use rabbit fur for a jacket, Zhang Chi must choose rabbits in winter, when the fur of rabbits is the best in a year.

But it’s not Zhang Chi who makes jackets, but Lao Xu, who likes to make rabbits when he likes them. Now Zhang Chi gets annoyed when he sees rabbits.

Throw the hung and peeled rabbit meat into the basin.

A dozen or so rabbits have been peeled in the pot, and the labor results of the two of them are about half and half. Both of them peel the rabbits at a good speed, so in less than an hour, half of the rabbits have been peeled.

The remaining half of the rabbits, hiding in the cage, were out of their wits, and witnessed a few companions being skinned and cramped. It would be a strange thing if the living rabbits felt better.

The internal organs of the rabbit belonged to Ergou and Santiao, and Ergou's stomach, which had been unloaded, returned to its original state. I don't know where the kitten Zhang Chi was born, and I don't know how many Zhang Chi were born, because Ergou is very fond of The matter was handled very strictly, and Zhang Chi didn't notice any movement. The second dog had already given birth to a kitten.

Santiao is now guarding the bottom of the stairs all day long, and everyone and Ergou's children are under the stairs, that is, in the open space under the corridor.

Zhang Chi is not in a hurry, because he also knows that there is probably nothing in this place that can hurt Ergou's children, so he also believes that Ergou will show up in the house with the children in a short time.

Ergou ate a lot, and the internal organs of several rabbits were almost eaten by Ergou alone. Of course, Ergou only picked up some livers, hearts, etc., and he didn't have much interest in intestines and so on.

Three are not very interested.

So this part belongs to Zhang Chi's chicken.

After more than a year of breeding, Zhang Chi's chickens have grown very fat. Like big geese, Zhang Chi eats eggs far less than chickens lay eggs.

This was not reversed until Brian and Melika arrived.

The main reason is that Melika eats some fitness meals from time to time. The main source of protein is egg whites. She doesn’t eat egg yolks, but she doesn’t throw them away. If Melika doesn’t eat them, her husband Zhang Chi will take over. When Zhang Chi didn't want to take over, there was still Moji.

Therefore, no matter what you say about an egg, nothing will be thrown away, and everything will be consumed except for the eggshell.

The chickens of Zhang Chi’s family are also very fierce. Free-range chickens are generally fierce, especially roosters. These things eat and fight all day long. , Most of it may have fallen into Zhang Chi's pot.

Spicy fried chicken is one of Zhang Chi's specialty dishes.

"I'm going to the toilet." Old Xu threw down the rabbit in his hand, then grabbed the water pipe and flushed his hand, then went to the toilet happily humming a little song.

When he came back, Lao Xu had a mysterious look on his face, put his hands together, and came over to Zhang Chi with a smile.

Zhang Chi looked at him and joked, "Why, did you bring the shit back?"

Old Xu said with a look of disgust: "You are too disgusting, I will show you something good."

Zhang Chi thought it was something good, but when Lao Xu showed a crack in his hand, Zhang Chi was disappointed.

"Is this a good thing?" Zhang Chi asked, rolling his eyes.

Old Xu said: "Why is it not a good thing? High protein!"

Old Xu's hand is covered with a... How should I put it, it's a locust, it doesn't look like it, I don't know what its scientific name is Zhang Chi, but the big guys in Zhang Chi's hometown call this thing Big Qiao Po, Zhang Chi doesn't know either What does it mean? Anyway, I have heard others call it that since I was a child.

This thing looks like a locust, but it also looks a bit like a praying mantis, except that it doesn't have the two big knives of a praying mantis. It has a long head with two thick beards on top of it. It is also big, bigger than a locust and slightly smaller than a praying mantis.

"Isn't this Grandmother Qiao, that's what we call her in my hometown?" Zhang Chi said.

Old Xu said: "Our hometown is called Green Woman, this thing is a good thing."

Zhang Chi said: "If you dare to come to my ranch for so many days, you are blind, this thing is everywhere."

Zhang Chi's pasture has good grass, and naturally there are many insects. Apart from the useful Shiklang, the useless ones account for the majority, such as the big Qiaopo.

This thing must eat grass, so their presence is a disadvantage for pasture.

Fortunately, there are not many of them, and Zhang Chi's chickens will also eat these things, so it has not had a bad impact on the ecology of Zhang Chi's ranch for the time being.

"You won't want to grab this again, will you? Let me tell you, if you are ashamed, don't drag me along, let Lao Mei see what it looks like, and think that we Chinese all eat insects," Zhang Chi said sternly.

Old Xu said: "You don't care about them! These people want to talk about you and look down on you. They can find countless reasons. I eat whatever I like, and it's none of their business!"

Hearing what Lao Xu said, Zhang Chi knew that this guy was definitely going to catch Mrs. Qiao.

"As long as you don't let me catch it, it's up to you," Zhang Chi said.

Old Xu said: "I don't need you, I will catch them myself later, and wait for them to be fried in the oil pan, and you will know what is delicious in the world."

"Go delicious," Zhang Chi said.

The two of them were grinding their lips when suddenly Zhang Chi's cell phone rang.

Putting down the knife in his hand, he came to the water pipe, stretched out his hand to rinse the rabbit blood on his hand, pressed a little hand sanitizer, and washed his hand.

After shaking the water twice, Zhang Chi took out the phone from his pocket.

When he took it out, the phone was already hung up. Zhang Chi found out that it was Miller who called, so he called Miller back.

"Hey!"

"George, George, new news, someone in the town of Barry picked up a herd of cattle in the mountains!"

Miller told Zhang Chi the news he got.

Zhang Chi's first reaction when he heard the news was: What the hell, did someone finally find the cattle?

It had been a few days since the cattle were thrown out. Originally, Zhang Chi thought that someone would find the cattle in two or three days at most, but Zhang Chi hadn't heard the news until now.

"How many...how many heads?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Not a lot. There are rumors that there are one or two hundred heads, but I have definite news here. There are almost five hundred heads. Except for cows and calves, there are only four or five bulls, and this breed of cattle does not belong to the current breed. The cattle breeds are all very big, and the weight is said to be 15%-20% heavier than the current mixed cattle, which is incredible..." Miller said excitedly.

Five hundred? !

Zhang Chi felt that this guy's luck was really good. He threw a group of [-] heads, and Zhang Chi also threw two or three groups, and the first one he found was the largest group.

Miller's excitement is understandable. For example, when ordinary cattle are sold, one cow costs about a thousand dollars, and five hundred cattle costs at least half a million dollars.

Half a million dollars is not a small number, and most Americans have seen this figure stuck in their checkbooks all their lives.

After talking excitedly, Miller asked, "Why don't you go to the mountains to try your luck?"

Zhang Chi pretended to be on his side, and said to Miller: "You think you can find it, it takes about five hundred...".

"You are stupid, this is a new breed of cattle, and if it is bred into such a population, there must be more than [-] cattle, at least ten times this number of cattle, otherwise it would be impossible...".

Miller gave Zhang Chi a lesson over the phone.

Zhang Chi laughed secretly in his heart, how many cows there are in the wild, Zhang Chi has the final say, but there is no way to tell Miller.

After chatting with Miller for a while, just as Zhang Chi put down the phone, Zhang Chi was about to continue peeling the rabbits, but Nell called again.

It was still talking about cattle, more than [-] cattle were picked up for nothing, that is at least equivalent to picking up half a million dollars for nothing, and this kind of news spread like the wind, blowing across the entire countryside in an instant.

I chatted with Nell for another ten minutes. Nell has decided to take his family into the mountains to find cattle tonight. He just called Zhang Chi to let him go into the mountains to try his luck .

In Nell's view, since the people in the small town of Barry can find cattle, and the two towns are not far apart in a straight line, there may be bison on his side.

It is best to set off as soon as you get the news. The herds wait for no one. If you take your time, the herds that originally belonged to you may be found by someone.

Nell didn't think about anything else. There are many cowboys like Nell. Everyone made their own judgments at the first time, that is, there must be other herds in this mountain, and the next thought was that they wanted to go find it.

Americans sometimes have simple thoughts, just like their ancestors. The old continent could no longer survive, so they ran to the new continent. When they heard that there was gold there, they just took their things and went. He didn’t care about the news. How much believable, with a single rumor, they can travel from the east to San Francisco to pan for gold.

Now I heard that there are cows on the mountain, and some people have found the herd of cows. The enthusiasm of many cowboys who got the news was instantly ignited.

Everyone believes that if you find five hundred this time, then I may find a herd of one thousand next time.

"Good luck!"

Zhang Chi smiled and gave Nell a powerful blessing.

Although they are friends, Zhang Chi is not going to do anything convenient for Nell. If he goes into the mountain, it belongs to him. If he can't find it, it depends on his own luck.
