Chapter 305 Someone Has an Idea

Zhang Chi's task at the moment is to be in charge of branding, and the job is actually not as simple as it seems.

"Put harder, Boss, and use more force next time. The branding looks a little mushy. It may become a little mushy after the meat grows."

Cannon looked at the first mark Zhang Chi had just taken over and said.

Brian also said: "Boss, even if you use your strength, the bull... the bull will stop barking after a while."

Originally, Brian wanted to say that the cow didn't hurt at all, but thinking that his boss is not stupid, how could he not know that the cow will hurt when dry ice is burned on the cow, so he swallowed the rest of the sentence.

"OK!"

Zhang Chi made a gesture. Originally, Zhang Chi felt that he had used enough force, but who knew that the branding marks were still a bit blurry.

Nowadays, the branding is usually done with dry ice or liquid nitrogen. In the past, it was done with fire, that is, the branding iron was heated red and greeted on the cow's rump.

Later, some people felt that this was too old-fashioned and cruel, so they suggested using dry ice and liquid nitrogen with low pain.

Some people are just looking for something to do.

Throwing the used soldering iron back into the dry ice jar, he looked up at the passing cattle.

"Hey! Little guy!"

Seeing the cow in the pen, Zhang Chi was immediately happy, because this calf was the one he had been fighting with all the time. The little guy was easy to recognize. Although he was covered in black hair, he had a very obvious spot on his forehead. The spin, like a vortex, looks like a windmill pattern.

Seeing this little thing, Zhang Chi stretched out his hands wearing antifreeze gloves, grabbed the little guy's ears, and pulled slightly harder.

The calf didn't bark like ordinary calves, and it didn't back up, but kept trying to push back with its head.

Zhang Chi saw that this little thing was very stubborn, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed the two cow's ears, and then fixed its bull's head.

"Look at you!"

Zhang Chi looked at the little calf and said.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi looked at the markings on the calf's ears and found that the little thing weighed almost a hundred catties.

Cannon saw it, and said with a smile: "Boss, stop playing, there are still a lot of cows to be branded."

After hearing this, Zhang Chi let go of the calf, and said to everyone: "Everyone remember, I must brand this little guy in the future. Don't use dry ice, but use fire. You have to cure his stubborn temper." ".

All the cowboys smiled, but no one answered the words.

Following behind the little stubborn cow was its mother. From the moment Zhang Chi grabbed its cub's ears, it kept barking, until Zhang Chi let go of its cub, and then it became quiet.

But when Zhang Chi took out the soldering iron and pushed the soldering iron on its hindquarters with all his strength, it started howling again.

Zhang Chi had already ignored the howling, and squeezed hard against the soldering iron, so that the soldering iron could leave obvious marks on the cow.

After about ten seconds, Zhang Chi took the soldering iron away from the cow, and an obvious low temperature mark appeared on the cow.

Cannon didn't speak now, but just gave Zhang Chi a thumbs up.

keep doing it!
Repeating these steps mechanically, after about twenty or thirty hairs, Brian took over Zhang Chi's work and let Zhang Chi take a rest.

When Brian gets tired, another cowboy will pick it up again. In short, the cows keep passing, and the marks must be marked in real time.

Even if it takes only a few minutes for each cow, but for more than a thousand adult cows, every few minutes is thousands of minutes. It takes only [-] minutes in an hour, and it takes almost a hundred hours to finish the fight.

Fortunately, all the steps are set up, otherwise, it would be really worrying to work for a few days.

In this way, after all the adult cattle were branded, it took more than three days.

After the branding of all the cattle has been done, the next thing is to transfer some of the cattle. Needless to say, the Gascony cattle will be directly moved to the ranch in Colorado.

As for the miscellaneous cattle, even if Zhang Chi doesn't want to sell them now, he has to sell them, because they take up space, so they have to make room for the new black cattle.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi's cattle are well raised. After the news was released, many people came to see the cattle. Finally, they sold them to a rancher east of Folsom at a very good price.

Before the money from the sale was warm in Zhang Chi's pocket, he took the surname of the grandsons from the IRS.

The money from the sale of several hundred cows was almost not enough to pay taxes for the new black cows. When Zhang Chi mentioned the IRS, he hated it.

I can't wait to stand at the door of the house and shout: Ten thousand taxes in the United States, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes!
I have to say that this gang of dogs is really ruthless, and this time they are not allowed to hand in together until next year, but now, if they don't.

Um!These cowards are vicious!
Don't worry, I will come and take your cow for auction.

Zhang Chi was sitting in the room, and Melika was sitting opposite. The couple had just received the tax bill, and Zhang Chi was looking at it. Melika had already figured it out, and she looked at Zhang Chi with a smile.

Observing her husband's face, Melika wanted to laugh, but held back, but her eyes were full of smiles.

A rainbow appeared on Zhang Chi's face, what is a rainbow?

Is the face so wonderful?
If you see the current tax bill, your face will definitely be more exciting than Zhang Chi's, six figures!And the ones in the front are not one, two, these trumpets, they are almost at their maximum size!

"I've been busy with my feelings for a long time, so I'm busy with them," Zhang Chi said bitterly.

The flesh hurts, this is not cutting the flesh, this is purely Ling Chi, Zhang Chi almost had a heart attack.

The current market price of each head of two thousand cattle is quite high, almost twice as expensive as that of miscellaneous cattle.

But it is impossible for Zhang Chi to sell this cow. All he gets are cows and calves, and there are only a few bulls, so these cows must be raised.

Even if Zhang Chi wants to sell it, Melika will not agree. Such a strong cow will produce a lot of meat. Isn't it more profitable to raise this cow than to raise miscellaneous cows?
Melika didn't speak, and she didn't comfort her husband, because she knew that her husband also knew that the IRS would definitely not be able to charge you at the agricultural transaction tax rate for the cattle she found in the mountains. How could these guys let you take advantage.

Zhang Chi, who was cursing, looked up and saw the expression on his daughter-in-law's face, and suddenly he felt relieved, and the original complaints disappeared all of a sudden.

There is no way if it doesn’t disappear, so it’s called the tax bureau, not a lending company, and the lender has to give you some money first. These people only collect money, and they don’t necessarily do things for you after collecting the money. This is violence. institutions, state apparatuses.

The most ruthless thing is here. If you want to keep the cattle, then you have to pay the tax first. If you don’t pay, then you have to sell the cattle.

"What's the matter, figured it out?"

Melika asked.

Zhang Chi said: "What can't be figured out? People with big fists can collect money for free, but we have to pay for things with small fists. What can't be figured out is something that hasn't changed for thousands of years. I was just venting."

But Melika said: "It seems that someone has taken a fancy to the cattle in these mountains."

"How?" Zhang Chi asked.

Melika said: "It's a bit unusual to press taxes at this time, maybe someone has made a small move."

As for why the people who found the cattle were suddenly urged to pay taxes on the news, there were several explanations, and Melika didn't believe a word.

When Zhang Chi was in China, he always heard about how good the United States is and how fair the government is. When he came here, he only had one word in his mind: cut!

The ability to grind foreign workers, let's put it this way, one is better than the other.

"Can we take advantage of it?" Zhang Chi said.

Melika laughed directly after hearing this: "With our small body now, we can only be taken advantage of by others. Let's not talk about it. Let's choose a pasture and sell it quickly if it suits us."

Looking at the ranch, Zhang Chi felt a little boring. He actually watched a few times, but he was not satisfied, so he didn't show it to Melika.

The couple were looking at the ranch when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The two turned their heads to look at the door of the house at the same time, and found two cowboys from the Colorado ranch standing side by side at the door.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

Melika beckoned the two of them in and motioned for them to sit down.

"BOSS, we want to resign".

As soon as the two sat down, Melika and Zhang Chi were a little surprised.

Zhang Chi thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the treatment here?"

The two shook their heads: "No, we want to fight."

"Give it a shot? Are you going to find a cow too?"

Melika was a little puzzled at first, but soon understood what the two of them meant. It seemed that the two of them were also planning to go to the mountains to look for cattle.

Melika said: "You are not familiar with this place. This is not Colorado. It will be dangerous for the two of you to enter the mountain."

Zhang Chi didn't speak all the time. He felt a bit like a dog in his heart. These two guys actually said confidently in front of him that they were going to find Niu?

"There is a team that wants to invite us to join. The price given is good, and we are quite satisfied, so I want to talk to you here."

Cowboy explained.

Zhang Chi glanced at Melika.

Melika also looked at Zhang Chi, and when she saw Zhang Chi nodded slightly, she smiled at the two cowboys and said, "I agree, I will let you calculate your salary tomorrow, if you have any questions, please You can call me directly."

People said they wanted to leave, how could Zhang Chi stay, and Melika didn't want to stay either, the couple agreed on this point.

When the two cowboys came here, they didn't think about anything going wrong. The two of them are now focused on making a fortune. As for what to do if they can't find it, they have actually thought about it, and that is to continue to do odd jobs.

But once the fight is successful, you will never have to work for others in this life.

The two of them never thought that God would really be so kind to you?
Who knows, they won't give up now if they don't try.
