Chapter 378 Well, engage in science!
After the thick agreement is signed, it is still initialed, and it will be officially signed after the respective legal advisers go through it.

Zhang Chi didn't expect that this process would be so cumbersome. He felt that after discussing it, everyone would solve it with a stroke of a pen. Who knew that it would take several times just to sign.

Seeing that everything was almost settled, Professor Haydn said to Zhang Chi, "Then take us to see where we will live in the future?"

"no problem!"

Zhang Chi looked at his daughter-in-law as he spoke, and stood up smiling when Melika nodded.

After Haydn and the others chatted with Melika with a smile, they all stood up and followed Zhang Chi out of the room.

At the door, Zhang Chi turned his head and asked, "Would you like to drive, ride a quad bike, or ride a horse?"

Zhang Chi just talked about riding a horse, but he didn't expect these science people to agree.

Professor Isaac opened his mouth and said, "Ride a horse, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time."

"Then it's better to ride a horse. Didn't you just say that riding a horse is more convenient and takes less time. It's just right for everyone to ride a horse," Professor Haydn also said.

Zhang Chi now feels that he is shooting himself in the foot. No matter how old a cowboy is riding a horse, Zhang Chi doesn't think it is strange, but you two half-big old men who are engaged in science ride horses?What if you want to break yourself?
"I think it's better to drive a quad bike, it's more interesting," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Isaac saw Zhang Chi's worry at once, and said with that old face: "We all know how to ride horses, and your riding skills may not be better than ours. Don't worry, you won't be found if you fall to your death." on the head".

How could Zhang Chi believe this? The last time I saw a news report, a young man said the same thing when he dismantled the TV. The master who helped dismantle it told him that there would be problems with the TV, but it turned out that there was a problem after dismantling it, but the young man Quit doing it again, and have to let the master pay half of the cost.

Zhang Chi felt that he should not be so simple. If Isaac was a bastard who broke his promise, Zhang Chi would have to spend time tossing with him, which was not worth it.

"We can sign a liability waiver agreement." Seeing that Zhang Chi still refused to agree, Isaac simply said that he agreed to sign the agreement.

Upon hearing that there was an agreement to be signed, Zhang Chi nodded immediately.

This kind of agreement is very common. This is the west, and there are many tourist ranches. When riding a horse on the ranch, there must be an agreement, but different riding skills have different agreements. If tourists think that their riding skills are already very good If it is higher, they can sign a liability waiver agreement. In this case, the ranch will usually let the horseman move freely.

This kind of agreement has to be signed, at least the tourist ranch near Amber is like this, otherwise, as long as one person is in danger, your family will have to spit out the money earned in your entire life. American life is precious, especially on your side If something goes wrong and the customer loses his life, it is not a trouble to say the least.

It's okay to say friends, these scientists Zhang Chi really have no idea about their riding skills, and as for the fact that scientists are honest and trustworthy people, Zhang Chi can't be so stupid as to believe.

If you look at what Edison is, you will know that the group of scientists is the same as the group of aunts selling tea eggs on the side of the road.

The agreement was easy to find, so Zhang Chi called to ask for one, and soon someone who was acquainted with the rancher passed the agreement over.

Once everyone signed, Zhang Chi felt relieved.

Now that everyone signed the agreement, Zhang Chi took everyone to the stables and asked them to pick horses by themselves.

The horses in Zhangchi Ranch are all trained ranch horses. Most of them are docile geldings, and there are some mares. As for the male horses, there are only two or three. They are not reserved for breeding, but have not yet reached the eunuch. when.

There were enough horses for everyone to pick. When everyone picked a horse, Zhang Chi led them into the stable to pick a saddle.

Now there are almost eight or nine saddles in the stables, all made by Cannon and Brian. Universal saddles, that is, ordinary people can use them. As for the large and small ones, you can only make do with them. .

After all, Zhang Chi ranch saddles are for adults, cowboys seldom have big fat people, and Zhang Chi and Melika are not considered fat, so the saddles used in the ranch are all normal sizes.

Of course, many cowboys, especially old-school cowboys like Cannon, use homemade saddles or custom-made saddles. They are used for long hours of work, and naturally they are the most suitable and comfortable for them.

From picking up the saddle, Zhang Chi found that these people were really not Xiaobai. The Xiaobai here refers to the kind of people who can ride a horse and feel that they are masters.

After everyone picked out the saddles and prepared the horses, Zhang Chi and everyone got on the horses.

Zhang Chi, Meton, and Isaac led the way, followed by a few students. Like beating wolves, the group left the ranch and came to the horse trail.

The horse trail at this time cannot be said to be the most beautiful time of the year, but the scenery is quite good with shaded trees, small bridges and flowing water.

The road is full of mud. This kind of mud is different from ordinary mud. It is the kind that can be squeezed out from between the toes when you step on it with bare feet. The mud on the road here is the kind of sandy mud. The particles are too large to hold water. , so it is less likely to get on the horseshoes in rainy days.

In addition to this kind of sand and mud, there are some stone-paved grounds, unlike our ancient blue-striped stones. Here, large and small stones are paved together. I don’t know whether it was naturally polished all the year round or was polished before being squeezed. Yes, these stone roads are quite smooth now.

The road is usually maintained by someone, but not every day. The manpower is terrible, and there is usually no fixed time. For example, when the leaves fall, there will be more frequent maintenance, and the maintenance workers will blow the fallen leaves out of the road.

Now the horse path seems to have been neglected for a month. The road is full of leaves and small dead branches. When the horse's hoof steps on it, the sound of broken branches can be heard from time to time.

Haydn and his group undoubtedly knew that the scenery on the road was good, so they were not in a hurry and began to appreciate the scenery along the way.

From the gate of Zhang Chi’s ranch, we went on the horse path. There were tree-lined paths for more than a mile. After passing this section, we would pass a small stone bridge. There is no such thing as a stone arch bridge in the United States, and this There is no need to build a stone arch bridge when there are creeks on both sides.

Usually, a few large stone slabs are placed on the stream, and a mound of soil is built on both sides. If the river is relatively wide, a beam is added in the middle, and it will go straight. There is no fence on the bridge deck, just a bare stone slab.

At this time, the sound of the horse's hoof stepping on it is generally light and crisp, and it is a bit like the sound of a drum hammer falling on the drum surface.

But it was a bit boring at this time, because it hadn't been cleaned for a while, and a lot of leaves had fallen on the stone road.

"No one has taken care of this horse trail for a long time." Haydn looked at the road and said to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said: "Everyone is busy now, how can anyone come to clean the horse path?"

Now there is one family in the small town. As long as the family can breathe, they can't wait to go to the mountains to find cattle. Zhang Chi's two harvests have already irritated the small town.

The Americans, who were somewhat adventurous, couldn't be stimulated by this stimulation, and rushed into the forest one by one screaming.

Not to mention the horse track maintenance, if Kimberly was greedy, all the bars in the town would be closed.

In this way, Kimberly also went for a walk into the mountain, and came back after feeling that she was really unlucky.

"They're all busy looking for cattle, but these people are not as lucky as you," Isaac said.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Maybe."

Isaac said: "I didn't mean to laugh at you. In fact, luck is the most useful thing in life. It's the same with scientific research. Some people have worked hard for a lifetime without making any achievements, but some people are at the school level. It’s not very good, but it’s because of luck that it has produced results, so it can be said that [-]% hard work is not as good as a flash of luck.”

Zhang Chi wanted to scratch his head, thinking: Does this have anything to do with me?You don't have to feed me the chicken soup of luck and hard work. There are still a few young people who are engaged in schools, how good can you feed them?

Originally, I was going to have a fight with Isaac, but thinking that he came here as free labor for me, I decided not to fight with him.

A group of people walked forward and walked for about half a mile, only to find two people carrying two leaf blowers on their backs, coming towards each other along the horse path.

The job of the two is very simple, that is, to blow the fallen leaves and dead branches on the horse path to the two sides. As for what to do on the two sides, it has to be left to the nature.

It is impossible to sweep up and transport away, because there is no effort, and the town does not have so much money to do so. It is a big expense to hire two people to blow the leaves to the side of the road.

Originally, this job was done by young people in small towns, and sometimes they were young people who wanted to earn some extra money, but today they are new faces, and Zhang Chi doesn't know that they are all outsiders.

When passing by, Zhang Chi greeted the two of them and said hello.

When they arrived at the west ranch, these people engaged in science were beyond Zhang Chi's expectation.

Zhang Chi felt that these people should look at the cattle first. Who knew that once they entered the ranch, these people began to divide the space when they asked which buildings were for their use.

Zhang Chi listened beside him, anyway, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, how to divide it is their own business, and they just need to work hard for themselves in the future.

Then there was a scene that stunned Zhang Chi. Isaac, the coffin face, actually lived in the house where Nell lived.

That's not to mention, there was a young female student living with Isaac, who looked ordinary, but she was really young, and the two of them knew that they had a negative communication relationship at a glance.

Zhang Chi thought to himself: The source of the professor's search for female students is still in American universities.

Why!The grandson of the American academic circle like Isaac has brought the beasts in China to pieces!
"how?"

Seeing Zhang Chi's constipated face, Isaac couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"nothing!"

It's not easy for Zhang Chi to say that you are old and shameless. At such an age, are you okay after all? Don't delay other girls.

Isaac said: "Can't you enjoy life if you engage in science?"

"No, no, I think it would be great if I could enjoy it like this when I'm your age." Zhang Chi thought Isaac was a good person, and he was doing science while doing... .

Well, Zhang Chi glanced at the female student next to Isaac, and thought: Well, it's also science!

Isaac was referring to the house, but Zhang Chi's eyes were on the female student next to the professor.

I don't know if the two of them are talking about chicken and duck.
