pasture leisure

Chapter 32

The truck drivers are really awesome. At least Zhang Chi thinks they are awesome. They can drive such a big guy to his ranch. on the way.

The truck driver didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Chi either.

When we got to the place, we didn't go deep into the ranch, and the truck stopped almost at the place where the ranch could turn around.

As soon as the barrier of the rear compartment was lowered, it was like jumping off a bridge, and the calves who were crowded in the carriage got off the carriage one by one.

"Are you the rancher who receives the goods?"

The truck driver found Zhang Chi with a list.

Zhang Chi smiled and nodded again and again: "I am, thank you."

"You're welcome, sign here, and then click the calf on my car, the total is... the list is here."

The driver didn't have time to talk to Zhang Chi. After this trip, he had to go to another place to load the goods before dark. For the truck driver, every minute was worth the money.

Zhang Chi signed his name, and then began to count the calves.

Not too much at one end and not much at one end. After the car was cleared, the driver closed the rear door and left in a hurry.

Next, continue to count.

The Asian face of the last driver made Zhang Chi think he was one of us, but who would have thought that he was actually a stick. Zhang Chi had no interest in the stick, so he didn't talk about it, and just counted and signed and left.

After all the trucks had left, Zhang Chi began to feel distressed again, not for the calf, but for his own ranch.

Big trucks are very heavy, and when they entered the ranch, they would naturally bring out two car marks. Five big trucks would have ten car marks, and they would sink into the soil about [-] centimeters deep.

Zhang Chi looked at it and thought it was like a hole of more than [-] centimeters had been pierced in his heart.

"This is a mess!"

Zhang Chi didn't know what to say for a while.

Lao Xu is also a lively person. Seeing so many calves brought in at once, he came to Zhang Chi's side with a smile.

"Buy all the calves all at once?"

Old Xu works in construction, and he can't tell the good from the bad, because it's not his scope of work.

"No, it's only about one-third of the time, and two-thirds are still on the way, and they will all be there tomorrow," Zhang Chi said.

Old Xu was a little dumbfounded, and asked with his mouth open, "How big is your ranch?"

"Don't you know, more than five hundred acres?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised by his question.

Old Xu thought he remembered it wrong, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have other pastures?"

"No, it's just this one. It's hard to buy this one. How can I think of anything else?" Zhang Chi replied.

Old Xu blinked his eyes a few times, and muttered, "Could it be that I misremembered?"

"What did you remember wrong?"

"I seem to have heard that if it is grazing, one cow usually has three or four acres. Your [-]-acre pasture needs to raise thousands of cows? Are you going to buy grass to feed them?" Old Xu said.

Zhang Chi nodded and replied, "What else?"

He bought fodder for a hair, but Old Xu asked, if he said that he didn't need to buy fodder, wouldn't that be scary, how could he explain this to him, besides, he had no obligation to talk about it with Old Xu.

"Forage is not cheap now," said Old Xu.

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about these things." Zhang Chi smiled.

Old Xu said: "You forgot that I was going to buy land and I also saw the pasture."

After a pause, Lao Xu gave Zhang Chi a thumbs up: "You still dare to think about it."

There is no way, even Lao Xu, who has never raised cattle before, was overwhelmed by Zhang Chi's generosity. More than [-] acres of pasture raise thousands of cows, and one acre of pasture raises two cows. You can eat as much as you like. Is it long?It can hold two cows to eat.

Needless to say, Zhang Chi's ranch grows as long as he eats, but he can't tell others.

Zhang Chi didn't plan to explain anything to Lao Xu either. Once he built a house, maybe the two of them could become friends after the house was built, but there are some things that can't be said to be friends.

"There is not enough grass in the ranch, so let's buy it. The price increase is not always enough. The price of grass will increase, and the price of beef will not increase, right? Then the rancher must not jump?" Zhang Chi laughed.

Why do you ask Lao Xu to say that?Old Xu looked at Zhang Chi with admiration, and was going to go back to build the house honestly.

After walking two steps, Old Xu opened his mouth and said, "The cowshed you built won't be able to accommodate more than a thousand cows. When it comes to winter, the temperature here is more than [-] degrees below zero, and sometimes it can even reach [-] degrees. You These cows can’t do without a cowshed. Even if there is a cowshed, you can’t do it alone. One cow can pull ten catties of shit for you in one night, and you can calculate tons of cows by yourself. shit".

Zhang Chi really hadn't thought about this, because he hadn't thought about how the thousand cows would survive the winter. He was thinking about getting these calves back first, and then——the boat would be straight when it reached the bridge!
Any experienced old cowboy who knows Zhang Chi's thoughts will be pissed off. This is a thing that doesn't understand anything. How did it get mixed into the class of our ranchers?

Uh!
"Let's see when the time comes, and build a cowshed when we have money," Zhang Chi said.

"There is not just one cowshed like this, at least two are needed to hold so many cows," said Lao Xu.

Seeing Zhang Chi was a little surprised, Lao Xu said again: "Cows can't be squeezed in the cowshed like canned food, right? Cows also have to have space. How can the cows eat when they squeeze the cows?"

"Let's talk about it later," Zhang Chi said again.

Old Xu is completely out of temper now.

Go back and continue to work. After all, it is not his ranch. People are not in a hurry about these things, so why is he in a hurry.

Zhang Chi looked at these calves, feeling very happy!

But soon he discovered the problem, that is, when the twenty calves came, they were afraid for a long time, but when this group of calves arrived at their pasture, they began to graze within a short time Knowing whether these calves are used to the environment or what, at least they are much bigger in courage than the previous batch of calves.

Of course, the little miscellaneous cows are much stronger than this batch of calves.

Originally, Zhang Chi was a little afraid that the two groups of calves would mix together, but after observing for a while, he found that the two groups of calves showed no sign of getting together at all. They each ordered a piece of land to graze, and there was a clear dividing line in the middle.

Zhang Chi felt relieved when the calf ate grass, and returned to the pasture to continue watering the pasture with drones.

The group of people who built the house were surprised when they heard that Zhang Chi bought more than [-] calves. Many people had no idea about raising more than [-] cows on [-] acres of land. They felt that one-third of the calves arrived were just that little, and they would not show up on the whole pasture.

It’s just that they didn’t think about it. It is impossible for a group of cows to graze in one place, and there is no way to eat in one place. Not to mention the problem of grass, a group of cows can also cover the pasture when they shit together. Therefore, generally speaking, pastures must have a recovery time for pasture and a digestion time for cow dung.

You can wait until the cow dung decomposes, so at this time, some porters of nature, such as insects, will play.

What is Zhang Chi's concept? As a novice rancher, in fact, his professional knowledge is the same as his academic qualifications. It is almost equal to no.

But good thing he has a gourd, which silently solved many problems beyond his knowledge.

The first batch of calves were brought into the ranch, and the cowboys outside just laughed at Zhang Chi.

When the second batch of calves arrived at the pasture the next day, the cowboys in the town thought that George was out of his mind. In the evening, when the third batch of calves arrived at the pasture, the cowboys in the town found that George was out of order. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Nearly a thousand calves, five hundred acres of pasture, how dare you buy so many!

In the evening, Zhang Chi drove his pickup to the bar in the small town.

He wanted to ask someone how to buy cheap and good-quality pasture, and he didn't plan to use it. Even if it was to release news, he had to put on a show, otherwise, the five hundred acres of land would raise a thousand heads Mavericks come, that's too scary.

This is one of the smoke bombs released by Zhang Chi. Besides, I saved some money by buying calves, and it’s not a big deal to take out part of it to buy some fodder, and it doesn’t take much. enough.

Parked the car in the parking lot.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the bar, far more people than when he came last afternoon, not to mention the cars and horses parked in the open space at the entrance of the bar, it is estimated that there were no less than a dozen people in the small bar.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Chi stood at the door of the small bar, stretched out his hand and opened two small doors.

The originally lively bar, seeing Zhang Chi walking in, instantly quieted down. All the cowboys in the bar stared at Zhang Chi blankly, as if seeing some amazing Western scene.

Zhang Chi was not used to it, but he bit the bullet and pretended nothing had happened. He came to the empty seat on the bar counter and sat down on the high stool.

Zhang Chi looked at the female boss, Kimberly, and said, "Give me a bottle of beer!"

As soon as Zhang Chi's words fell, the bar started to be noisy again, but the voices of these cowboys chatting were much quieter than when Zhang Chi came in.

Kimberly handed Zhang Chi a bottle of beer and asked casually, "George, you bought quite a few calves."

"Not too much," Zhang Chi replied casually.

"Fattening?" An old cowboy sitting not far from Zhang Chi asked.

Zhang Chi said, "That's right."

After hearing this, the old cowboy stopped talking, and continued to drink the whiskey in his hand with his head down, reaching out to hold the small snacks in the editor's basket in front of him from time to time, to suppress the spirit of alcohol in his stomach.

Zhang Chi was about to ask Kimberly where she could buy cheap pasture bales, when she looked up and saw the small blackboard behind Kimberly, and saw the odds written on it, how much she would pay if she closed down, and how much she would pay if she survived for a year.

Seeing Zhang Chi looking at the small blackboard behind her, Kimberly said with a smile, "Everyone bet on the prospect of your ranch."

Zhang Chi smiled after hearing this, and didn't take it seriously. Apart from working, these cowboys usually only have this hobby. Of course, other hobbies cost money, so this is a good hobby.

"My odds are not high." Zhang Chi took a sip of the beer.

Kimberly smiled after hearing this, but did not answer.

But at this moment, many cowboys sitting closer to the bar raised their ears.

Zhang Chi took out his wallet from his pocket, took out twenty dollars with toilet paper and handed it to Kimberly.

"I buy myself, it will be fine by this time next year."

After speaking, he shook the note in his hand at Kimberly.

Kimberly took the money with a smile, and then took a pen and wrote on the small blackboard: George put George twenty dollars.
