pasture leisure

Chapter 316 Business Conduct
Pushing the horse to a trot, when Lao Xu passed a clump of small bushes, this thing didn’t grow very tall, and was a bit shorter than the grown pasture, so it wasn’t that Lao Xu wanted to pass the bushes, but when he and When the horse found it, the horse's hooves had fallen into the small bushes.

The moment the horseshoe fell, several pheasants came out of the bushes clucking and clucking. When they fell to the ground, they looked at Lao Xu who had run away and clucked and cursed at the street.

"The pheasants in your ranch are good! Why don't you get them for a tooth sacrifice at night?" Lao Xu turned his head, and with just one glance, he fell in love with these wild pheasants in Zhang Chi's ranch.

The grass in Zhang Chi's pasture is good, and the small bugs naturally grow well. In addition to the chickens in the pasture, there are also some pheasants and the like that make their homes in Zhang Chi's pasture.

Usually, Zhang Chi doesn't have much thought about them. To be honest, after eating game like this once or twice, you will find that the taste is actually not as good as you imagined.

Unless it is a good one, otherwise, wild poultry is rarely as tender as domestic chicken. This is easy to understand. Humans have been raising them for so many years, and they have been domesticated from wild animals to poultry. It has long been unpalatable. Eliminated by history, only the delicious ones remain.

"I'm not interested. If you like it, you can go back and do it yourself. Let me tell you that this matter has nothing to do with me. I am a good citizen who abides by the law." Zhang Chi said with a smile.

As soon as Lao Xu heard that he could only eat by himself, he didn't bother to move anymore. He was also particular about eating. The old saying goes that if you meet a friend for a long time, a thousand cups are too small, and if you don't speculate, it's too much.

Drinking wine and eating game, without a companion, the taste is more than half, more than half, okay!

"Forget it, it's boring to be alone. Besides, Comrade Melika is not suitable for drinking now, and neither is you. Hey, it's cheap for these pheasants, let them live for a few more days."

Old Xu was a little lost, he couldn't find anyone who wanted to drink, and there were a few alcoholics among the workers, but they were too drunk, so who would do the work on the construction site.

The two gentlemen rode their horses for a silly turn in the rain, and when they returned to the stable, half of their bodies were wet.

Back in the house, start to prepare lunch, take a small nap in the afternoon, make yourself a cup of tea when you wake up, just hold it in the palm of your hand, sit on the sofa on the porch and enjoy the light rain.

I can see some poetic sentiments, but being uneducated means being uneducated, I can only murmur a compliment: This light rain is a little mean.

If you have studied a little, at least you can have some kind of naughty rain, but Lao Zhang can't make a sentence out of it.

The light rain didn't last long, and the sky cleared up the next day, but Lao Xu had something to do today, and Zhang Chi was the only one doing the making of the breeding baskets.

The workers on the construction site are all busy now, and they have to turn on the lights every night to work, so they have no time to help Zhang Chi.

Good Zhang Chi is not in a hurry, just do it slowly.

After working for two days, the sky began to rain again. This time, it didn’t end in one day. It lasted for more than three days and four days. The creek that originally started to lose water level in Zhangchi Ranch became full again.

The progress of the construction site has not been affected much, because almost all the roofs that should be put on are finished, and there is no fear of rain, but Zhang Chi's new house is a bit troublesome, because the roof is only half done.

But these troubles are not caused by Zhang Chi, but by Lao Xu and his construction team.

Waiting for the sunny day again, the workers of the construction team did nothing but installed the roof of Zhang Chi's new house. As for the inside, everything will be fine with the roof.

Facts have proved that the forecast of the construction team was correct. After the roof was installed, a day later, light rain came unexpectedly.

This time it rained lightly, but it lasted longer, and it fell intermittently for four or five days. It really seemed to have moved the rainy season in the south of China.

Zhang Chi was sitting at home, eating walnuts with Melika while watching the news.

The female anchor on the news kept talking about how much damage some places had caused due to the rain at this time.

Zhang Chi's side is a mountainous area. To be clear, the altitude is relatively high, and there is no way to store water here. This is not the case in the Great Plains outside. Almost all the rainwater in the Rocky Mountains rushes to the nearby plains. , The water levels of all the small rivers and lakes soared.

Regarding the infrastructure here, Zhang Chi doesn't want to complain. Think about it, the airport is a product of the last century, not to mention the drainage facilities.

Flood fighting?

It seems that Americans don't have this concept. Their idea is to remove people. As long as the people are safe, the remaining houses will be compensated by their own insurance companies.

If someone dies or something, the officials in this area don't take it seriously, don't look at their heavy appearance in front of the camera, but in fact... Everyone understands that the tears of politicians are too watery .

Officials will not be affected by the death at all, because in their minds this is a natural disaster and no one can be blamed.

Fortunately, no one was killed this time, and several people from nearby towns that were hit by the disaster moved out of their homes and gathered in the county gymnasium to live together.

The next four or five consecutive days were sunny, and everyone felt that God was finally going to stop and it would stop raining.

Who knew that God was holding back even more ruthless tricks.

After four or three days of clearing, there was a storm, and after the storm, a tornado warning was issued.

It's been a little June, and I've been fighting against God all day long.

The tornado did not affect Zhang Chi's area, and the town of Amber has always been as stable as an old dog in a tornado.

Because the town of Amber is directly in the Rocky Mountains, no matter how big the tornado rolls here, it will have no strength to roll over a few hills, unless God is determined to roll on the town of Amber, Otherwise, the tornado would not be able to hit the small town of Amber.

The loss of others brought good news to Zhang Chi, that is, the purchase price of raw beef rose sharply.

There is no beef for sale at Zhang Chi Ranch. Most of the cows and calves, the bulls have not yet decided how many to keep as breeding males. Even if there are, these dozens of cows are nothing to sell.

Originally, Melika's dowry, the Colorado Ranch, sold a batch of cattle at this time and recovered a sum of one million yuan.At the same time, the pressure on the ranch was relieved.

The pressure on the Zhangchi Ranch continued to remain high, with more than [-] black cows, which really made the ranch a little unbearable.

There are already some problems in the pasture, the main problem is the problem of cow dung. The pasture is almost unable to bear the cattle. If there is no solution, Zhang Chi's pasture will become a sea of ​​cow dung within three months.

On the [-]-acre land, there are now more than [-]-year-old cattle raised on it, and it is still a huge cow, which can only be supported by Zhang Chi's big beard grass until now.

Zhang Chi, Melika, Cannon, and Brian are standing under the aisle and having a meeting.

Cannon opened his mouth and said: "Our current cattle must be reduced by at least half and returned to the original number. Otherwise, our pastures will not be able to bear it at all."

Brian also nodded, and said at the same time: "These cows are too good to eat and pull too much. The cow dung is almost half as fast as the original cows in one day."

Zhang Chi really didn't expect that it could be pulled like this. There is no problem in the gourd, but it becomes a big problem in the real ranch environment.

"The reduced amount, either rent a new farm, or reduce the gascony of the Colorado ranch"

Cannon continued.

This is something to say, but Cannon is just giving a suggestion, and what to do in the end depends on Zhang Chi and Melika.

Zhang Chi had only one thought in his mind, that is to buy a ranch as soon as possible, even rent one.

In this matter, the couple are actually a little anxious, but it is not so easy to choose a suitable pasture. The price, location, and the fertility of the land have to be considered.

Choose the best solution together.

Melika is not Zhang Chi. Sometimes the masters can do things roughly, but Melika is very careful and serious in doing things.

Zhang Chi respects his wife in this, because he also knows that he is really not good at this kind of business.

Zhang Chi didn't think that he was a god. With a gourd, he was omnipotent and skilled in everything. If he thought about something like this, he must be out of his mind.

Zhang Chi knew himself clearly, so apart from expressing some opinions at the beginning, he left all the rest to his wife.

Now in the small workshop of Zhang Chi and the Melika Foundation, Melika is in charge of buying and selling, Zhang Chi is in charge of raising grass, and cowboys like Cannon are in charge of grazing.

The three points are connected into a smooth line, which is very clear.

Zhang Chi heard what Cannon said, so he said, "Let's rent a ranch temporarily, or let Colorado sell Gascony."

Zhang Chi now feels that this new breed of cattle that he bred unintentionally must have a better market than Gascony cattle, so he would rather reduce the number of Gascony cattle in Colorado than keep black cattle.

After speaking, Zhang Chi glanced at Melika.

Melika didn't speak, she was thinking quietly and carefully, frowning slightly.

Melika didn't speak, Zhang Chi wasn't happy, he didn't disturb his wife's thoughts, Zhang Chi didn't open his mouth, Cannon and Bryan looked down at their toes, and the other leaned on the pillar in a daze.

After two or three minutes, Melika came back to her senses.

"say what?"

"What should I do with this cow?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Melika paused for about three seconds, and asked Zhang Chi, "If I say we should weed out one-third of this herd of cattle, do you think this idea is too crazy?"

Zhang Chi didn't understand for a while, so he asked: "How to eliminate? Sell one-third of the cattle to others? Then our good neighbor is the first choice."

Good neighbor Lao Liu asked two or three times whether Zhang Chi's new cattle were sold. Although he bought the herd of cattle picked up by Lao Xu, the quality of that herd was lower than that of Zhang Chi's 'picked up' cattle. There is no way to compare the price of this batch.

Regardless of whether it is male or female, there is at least two levels of physical difference.

Melika shook her head: "No, just slaughter."

After saying this, Zhang Chi and the other three were immediately stunned.

Now the price of beef has risen, but the price of a new breed of live black cattle is at least twice as expensive as beef. Do you have to sell meat to sell cattle to make money?This business behavior is a bit ridiculous.
