pasture leisure

Chapter 357 Worthless
"Well, I see".

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi put down the phone, looked up at his wife and said, "The call from the auction house told us to be there at ten o'clock in the morning in three days' time."

The one who called Zhang Chi was the auction house, which is the company responsible for the auction of Nell’s ranch. They called all the customers who paid deposits, and confirmed the auction time with people like Zhang Chi again. , location, etc.

Melika nodded, indicating that she knew, and then said with a little worry: "I don't know how strong the people who participated in this auction are."

Melika, like Zhang Chi, also very much wants to get Nell's family's two thousand acres of pasture, which is very important to the couple, even if it is not connected to the current pasture, it is easy to take care of it so close .

But the auction is not a good idea. In case someone with strong power wants it, the funds that Zhang Chi and his wife can mobilize now are not enough to compete with them.

A few million dollars seems like a lot, and most people will not have any intersection with such a figure in their lifetime, but it is not enough to see it at the auction, let alone more than [-] acres. Ranch auction.

But even so, Zhang Chi and his wife still made up their minds to try to take down Nell's ranch.

Of course, this is a wish. As for whether the dream can come true, it depends on luck.

The two of them also wanted to know what kind of people participated in the auction, but the auction house also has rules of the auction house, and people are not allowed to disclose the customer's information to others.

Not to mention that there is still a telephone auction method now, that is, the bidders are not present at the scene, and they communicate with the staff by phone and video.

So Zhang Chi doesn't know if his good neighbor will get in the way.

If this guy gets involved, Zhang Chi feels that he has to go and get the deposit back, so he won't bother.

While the couple were chatting about the auction, the notebook opened next to Melika rang.

Melika looked at it and found that it was an email. She opened it and saw that it was a variety of charts, and then pushed it in front of Zhang Chi.

"The test data of the milk you want is here. There are seven samples in total. The test results are here now. Take your time."

Saying that, Mei Suika wanted to stand up while holding the teacup.

Zhang Chi stretched his head to look at it, and found that he knew all the characters, but he really didn't understand what it meant, and why this was worth that.

Zhang Chi thought to himself: What the hell, it looks like a ghostly drawing talisman, how can this old man understand it.

indeed!There are too many data, Zhang Chi knows a little about energy, protein, fat, cholesterol, etc., but what about thiamine, niacin, and what Staphylococcus aureus.

If these things are not professional technicians, who would not be dizzy looking at them, let alone Zhang Chi, a guy who has not studied for a few years, can be regarded as a hardworking person who can read, but to look at these professional data, Clearly not enough.

So Zhang Chi grabbed Melika who was about to leave, and took her directly to his lap.

"Come on, give me an explanation, if you don't explain, you won't let me go."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted his daughter-in-law's buttocks lightly a few times.

Melika knew that Zhang Chi couldn't understand, and in fact she couldn't understand most of them, but she still knew a little about some important items, such as protein and fat.

So Melika explained to Zhang Chi that the quality of the milk is very good, even far exceeding American standards in some important items.

The only pity is that the output is too small, no matter how good there is no quantity, there will be no bargaining power.

The couple is not so suitable now, Zhang Chi is sitting on the sofa, and Melika is sitting on her husband's lap, somewhat ambiguous.

But they are a certified couple, what do you care about!
It was also a coincidence that Cannon had just arrived at the door and saw that the door was open (the door of Zhang Chi's house was never closed except in winter, it was like this before, and it is still like this now).

So Cannon walked in. Seeing the appearance of his two bosses, Cannon was not embarrassed. Maybe it was because he had seen a lot. Girls in South America have always been famous for their enthusiasm. Even if they are ordinary friends, I also want to kiss the face, hug and gnaw.

It's a bit unhygienic, but it's really different from us Chinese.

"BOSS!"

Ah!
Zhang Chi looked up at Cannon.

Seeing this, Melika stood up generously from Zhang Chi's lap, and asked Cannon, "What's the matter?"

Cannon said: "The breast pumping machine is installed, do you want to go and have a look?"

"So fast?" Zhang Chi felt a little surprised.

The machine was just delivered this morning, and the seller sent someone to install it.

Let me mention here that the machine is not new, it is second-hand. The original seller raised dairy cows. This year’s milk market is not very good. They sold their own pasture. The buyer is going to do some tourism. The original dairy farm People only need one set of things, and the rest are taken care of.

As for how Zhang Chi found him, it was even simpler. They wanted to buy an automatic milking machine, so they called and asked, and the second-hand machine broker over there got the news.

After contacting Zhang Chi, the couple went to see the product, and found that the machine was pretty good. They used it at home, and it was well protected. Before selling it, they had a professional team clean it, except that the outside looked a little old. In addition, there is a little bump on the milk jar, but everything else is fine.

Melika also liked it, and the price was right, less than half of the price of the new machine, so the two happily paid for it and ordered the machine.

Hearing what Cannon said, Zhang Chi and Melika followed Cannon and walked towards the place where the milking machine was installed.

The place where the milking machine is installed is a warehouse. It was originally intended to store grain, but it has been empty now, so it is simply used as a milking room.

The place is a little far away from the cowshed, but not too far, about two to three hundred meters, so I can make do with it.

There are three machines.

What does this thing look like?

You've all seen a carousel, right? This thing looks a bit like that.

It is almost a concentric circle, and iron partitions separate the cows from the cows. There is a hook on the top of the machine, and a soft rubber tube is hung on the hook, with a breast pump head.

Drive the cows in, close the door, pull the milk tube down, attach the pump head to the milk bottle, and you're done.

Cows can graze grass while being milked, and as long as people see the news of the completion of the project on their mobile phones, they can let go of the cows.

In short, this thing is quite advanced, at least it liberates manpower.

When Cannon brought Zhang Chi and Melika to the machine, two of the three breast pumps were already full of cows, each with about ten cows, and two with nearly thirty cows, eating happily. forage.

The transparent container in the sucking tube was slowly filled with milky white milk, and then the milk flowed into several huge metal milk buckets in the inner ring.

"So fast?"

Zhang Chi looked at the running machine and said happily.

"The machine was almost shipped directly, so it is naturally faster, and there is nothing wrong with it after debugging." Brian said and handed a document to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi glanced at it and found that it was the installation contract of the machine, which contained detailed installation steps, each of which was a process. Just from the chart, you can find that sometimes if all standards are followed, Americans do things Still quite strict.

It's just that Zhang Chi also knows this standard, it's just a standard standard, and it's not troublesome for ordinary workers to install it for you.

Fortunately, cowboys can’t fiddle with these things, the structure is not complicated, and the old beauty’s hands-on ability is also strong. This is really not a nonsense. Forget about the younger generation, many middle-aged Americans can repair cars, and they have a lot of skills It's better than the workers in our inland garages.

After receiving the documents, Zhang Chi ticked the hook to prove that these steps were completed, and then returned the documents to the installer.

The installer didn't talk much to Zhang Chi, took the signed documents, jumped into the car with his colleagues, and ran away in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Zhang Chi would leave them to eat at the ranch.

All three machines started to work, and Cannon and Brian began to act as milkers. The main job was to clean the milk bottle, then connect the machine to the milk bottle, and then wait for the machine to milk the set dose.

Zhang Chi can't be idle, because there is no such thing in the work share, so Zhang Chi and Melika are considering whether to hire one or two more people.

But Melika thinks it's better to wait and see, wait for Nell's ranch to be taken down, and then we will find people together.

So Zhang Chi followed Cannon to learn how to milk cows and how to operate these milking machines.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi is not stupid, and the machine is simple. If it is too complicated, most uneducated cowboys or workers in the west will not be able to use it.

People think that Americans are quite knowledgeable and have a high level of education, but this is not the case. The number of illiterate Americans, or the number of people who cannot read a sentence after reading a book, is more than the illiterate population in our country.Looking at the population base again, you can see how many illiterates there are in the United States.

After learning well, the work started, so after everyone milked a batch of cows, they drove the next batch of cows to come and milk them.

After a busy morning, I went back to the house to have a meal, and continued to work when I came back.

When the sun goes down, all the cows with calves will be milked.

The milk was loaded into the car, and Zhang Chi had to take it to the dairy farm.

Originally, Zhang Chi hoped that someone would come and pull him, but who knew that Melika really hit it off. They would never send a car to pull them over for the small amount of their ranch. If you want to send them, they will take it. I don't care either.

Zhang Chi can't help it. There is so much milk, three to four hundred kilograms a day. If you drink it to death, you can't drink it, so Zhang Chi has to send it to the milk company.

Three or four hundred kilograms of milk was exchanged for a mere drop of money, and Zhang Chi felt that he didn't know if it was enough to pay for his own round trip.

Milk is so cheap, cheaper than beef.

Zhang Chi, who was holding the money, was a little worried: Look, he didn't even write the check lazily, and just gave it in cash!
