pasture leisure

Chapter 348

The young couple had a sweet time together for a while, and Melika walked out of the bathtub. She was a restless person, so naturally she went to do things again when she went out, or she went to study. In short, Melika's life is like this .

Zhang Chi was just the opposite. He climbed out of the bathtub, put on dry clothes, stared blankly for a while, then went into his study, and continued to stare blankly for a while.

It was almost eleven o'clock before Zhang Chi went downstairs.

Just as Zhang Chi went downstairs, he saw Melika and He Moji eating fruit in the living room.

"Get some?!"

Zhang Chi waved his hand at his wife: "No, I have to collect the fish."

"Collect fish? What kind of fish?" Melika asked.

Zhang Chi said: "I'm going to catch a carp, how about we eat braised carp?"

"Very good" Melika nodded.

So Zhang Chi picked up the poncho, put on waterproof rubber shoes and covered his feet, stood at the door, put on the poncho and walked into the rain.

When I came to the tool library, I found that Cannon and Brian were cutting cowhide in the library. A large piece of cowhide turned into strips of cowhide in their hands.

The cowhide is not very good. A whole piece of high-quality cowhide should have the same color and feel soft to the touch, but the piece in the hands of the two of them is obviously not the same. The color of the cowhide has changed too much. Not only is it big, but the leather is also soft. There are also holes, like bullets.

If you look closely, it doesn't look like it, because a bullet with such a large hole is generally impossible to kill a cow. Let alone a cow, it can knock down an elephant with a single shot.

"Where did you get the cowhide, did you buy it?" Zhang Chi asked casually.

Of course, you bought it, or someone else would give the cowhide to the two of you. The cowhide is worthless, but the craftsmanship of kneading it is worth a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi wondered again, who would take the time to knead this kind of cowhide.

"I bought it a week ago. The Swensen family over there was doing a charity sale. No one wanted the cowhide, and it was only a few dollars. So I bought it back. I can't do anything else, but weave a whip and make a knife. The scabbard is still okay..." Cannon and Zhang Chi explained.

As soon as Zhang Chi understood, Cannon picked up a bargain from someone else again.

Saved along the way, Cannon's ability to pick up bargains is far superior to Zhang Chi's. Although Zhang Chi's life was tight before, he was not too frugal.

But Cannon is different. He came to the United States to earn money, and the money he earns has to support his wife and children in his hometown. If he eats more here, his family will eat less. This is how adult men struggle, ordinary people All from the mouth.

Although Zhang Chi's labor wages plus quarterly bonuses from time to time, monthly bonuses and the like are now much higher than before, almost equal to the wages of an ordinary worker.

Don't think that a worker's salary is not much. In the United States, many women are housewives and do not go out to work, so a worker has to support the whole family, so the salary is not low.

Today, Cannon’s biggest income is not his salary, but the last time he followed Zhang Chi into the mountains to pick up cattle. Although Zhang Chi picked up the cows, Cannon and Brian who went with him still received a considerable bonus.

This is how Zhang Chi does things. He never thinks about taking money from his subordinates. At the same time, he also understands that if you want to gain the loyalty of others, you must treat them well. Otherwise, why should they help you wholeheartedly?
Whether it is Cannon or Bryan, people follow him to make money. They want to support their families and live a good life. As a BOSS, Zhang Chi must have this ability. Only when he gives hope to his subordinates can he be sincere. Work hard.

Otherwise, you would think why Cannon and Brian worked so hard on the ranch.

It's not that feelings are not important, but that the burden of life is more important to an adult.

"Don't buy these cheap things all the time. Look at this, this piece of leather has been placed for a long time, and there are bugs on it."

Zhang Chi reached out to touch it, turned over the leather and looked, and found that there were obvious marks of insect bites in some places.

After all, the leather is still meat. Although it has been processed, it will inevitably be targeted by some small bugs after being placed for a long time. Like the current piece of leather, it is obvious that there are quite a few bugs.

Brian said with a smile at this time: "BOSS, Cannon went to see the land yesterday, and he is going to buy a house."

Zhang Chi regained his energy when he heard this: "Are you going to buy a house?"

Cannon smiled and nodded: "I'm going to buy a piece of land in a small town to build a house. It doesn't need to be big, just a house with an office is enough."

The office house that Cannon mentioned refers to the house that Zhang Chi used to live in. Isn’t it changed to an office now? The most popular thing is the coffee machine inside.

"Which piece of land are you looking at?"

Zhang Chi asked.

Although Zhang Chi can't be said to be well-versed in Amber Town now, he still generally knows where is right.

"I'm really optimistic about a piece of land, but I don't have enough money right now. I don't want such a large piece of land, so I'm thinking of pulling Brian to buy it together," Cannon said.

Zhang Chi asked, and as soon as Cannon said it, he knew where the land was and who the owner who sold it was.

That piece of land is right next to the small gas station in the town, with an area of ​​less than two acres, compared to about seven or eight acres of domestic land.

Do you feel small?In fact, domestic houses, even many villas, are less than seven or eight acres. Let’s say this, it’s about four thousand square meters in square meters. Do you still think this place is small?
But this land is very cheap, because there is no way to grow crops or grass on this land, it can only be used to build houses, so the land is very cheap.

You may ask again, why no one buys such cheap land.

This is the west, and in the Rocky Mountains, there are so many places like this that there is no way to count them. There are only so few people in this small town. Who doesn't have a place to live?And who doesn't have a few pieces of land?
Except for the ranch changing hands in the small town, no new people moved here. Not only did they not move here, but the young people in the small town also ran to the city, so the land that was only used for building houses could not be sold at a high price.

The price was indeed not high, but Cannon still didn't want to buy the whole piece of land, so he wanted to take Brian and half of the family, or Cannon bought a large piece of land, and Brian bought a small piece of land.

Brian, an old bachelor, is a little hesitant now, because he has no children, not even a wife, what do he want a house for, and now he thinks it's pretty good in the ranch, where he has food and drink, and the living conditions are pretty good Well, there's no need to build a house or anything.

It's not easy for Zhang Chi to intervene in this, because if Brian is allowed to buy this house, if Brian doesn't want to work here one day and wants to move away, this house is not easy to sell.

There is only one house, and it is really hard to sell without farms and pastures. After they take over, they can't do odd jobs around here to earn money.

As for the denim?

Forget it, let's not mention them, most of them who are part-time workers choose to buy a house on the edge of the city, not such a small town.

Americans also know that life in the city is convenient. Otherwise, why do many young people in small towns in the United States go to big cities?Just like our thinking, big cities are lively and all conditions are good.

"That's fine, let's discuss it slowly," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"What are you going to do?" Brian asked when he saw Zhang Chi start the quad bike.

Zhang Chi said: "I put the cage in the pond in the morning, now go see if I caught any fish."

Now Brian stopped talking and buried himself in his work with Cannon.

Zhang Chi drove his quad bike into the rain again.

When they arrived at Tangzi, they took out the cage. As soon as he took the cage out, Zhang Chi felt the weight on the cage.

Pulling the cage to his eyes, Zhang Chi was delighted. There were two fish in the cage, one of which was only half alive, and the other was quite fierce, a black fish.

As soon as Zhang Chi saw this black fish, Zhang Chi felt salivated. He felt that he should not braise it in soy sauce at noon today, and just have a boiled fish. Well, it would be nice to add some sausage at that time.

I just don't know if the sour radish that Aunt Phil gave last time at home is still there.

The black fish in the cage probably didn't know, because he was greedy for a while and lost his life.

Even if Hei Yu felt this way, Zhang Chi wouldn't care.

As for why there are snakeheaded fish in the pond, the reason is very simple, because Zhang Chi likes to eat it, and if he likes to eat it, he must have it. Zhang Chi doesn't like to eat grass carp and other guys who can't deal with snakeheaded fish.

After digging out the cage, Zhang Chi threw half of the fish back into the pond. Whether it was eaten by the fish or turned into mud was not Zhang Chi's concern.

Poured the black fish into the small bucket, Zhang Chi tidied up the cage and threw it back into the pond.

Holding the black fish, Zhang Chi happily prepared to go back to cook.

Who knew that when Zhang Chi was about to park his quad bike back to the tool room, he passed by the door of his house and found a Jinghao car parked at the door.

Zhang Chi is too familiar with this car, and he was impressed once he saw it. The owner of the car is either someone else or Melika's cousin Jennifer.

"Well, why is this guy here again?"

Seeing this Zhang Chi gave me a headache, not because I hated it, but because I thought this woman was smart.

But when people came, Zhang Chi couldn't say to drive them away, so he put the motorcycle into the tool room, went back to the house with a small bucket, and saw the two sisters Jennifer and Melika sitting in the living room chatting.

At this time, Moji had already run away without a shadow. Obviously, Melika didn't like this cousin very much, so Moji couldn't get close to Jennifer naturally.

Seeing Zhang Chi coming in, Jennifer smiled at Zhang Chi.

"Zhang Chi, are you back?"

"Well, hello, how did you come here under such heavy rain?" Zhang Chi smiled, but he didn't take her seriously in his heart.

"I prepared a present for my sister for her birthday," Jennifer said.

Zhang Chi was confused when he heard it, because Melika's birthday is on October [-]th, and he is on the [-]th, which is still several months away.

Jennifer said nonsense again: "According to the Chinese tradition, there are two birthdays, one is the Chinese calendar and the other is the Gregorian calendar. Melika's Chinese calendar birthday is coming soon...".

Zhang Chi was dumbfounded. He knew what Jennifer meant was the lunar calendar, but I, a Chinese, didn’t know that there was a difference of more than three months between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.

Could it be that all I knew since I was a child is a fake lunar calendar? !
Zhang Chi thought to himself: Forget it, this woman is running the train with her mouth full, if you want to entangle her words, then you have something to think about.

"What gift are you going to give?" Zhang Chi asked casually.

　Two updates today, no more updates.
