Chapter 443 Rough Craftsmanship

Zhang Chi was squatting, and Xiao Xiao was sitting on the ground, sharing delicious food with his friends.

Zhang Chi kept nodding his head while eating the buns. He had to say that the buns made by his mother were really delicious.In fact, Zhang Chi also knows that this steamed stuffed bun doesn't mean how skilled it is to make it, the main reason is that this steamed stuffed bun was made by his mother, and it tastes like he did when he was a child.

"Are the buns delicious?"

While eating the buns, Zhang Chi asked Xiaoxiao, he wanted to know if his little nephew felt the same as himself.

Xiaoxiao hummed, took a big bite of the bun and swallowed it, and then said to Zhang Chi: "It's delicious, much better than my mother's. My dad and I don't like to eat it. I would rather eat it." Go outside to buy buns to eat.

The buns made by grandma are delicious. I used to like beef and green onions, but now I don’t really want to eat them. Pork and cabbage seem to be more delicious.

Uncle, do you put sugar in your cabbage, why is it so sweet?"

Zhang Chi knew that the little guy ate too much beef during this time, fried, steamed, roasted, stewed, every meal has beef as a dish, no matter how delicious it is, it will get tired of eating like this.

He reached out and touched Xiao Xiao's head: "You, it's because you eat too much beef and don't want to eat it."

Xiaoxiao blinked his eyes when he heard this, and then turned his attention to his steamed stuffed bun.

While eating steamed stuffed buns, suddenly the kitchen door was opened, and Li Xiumei, who was wearing plaid pajamas, came in.

"Hey, how did you eat in the middle of the night? Are you hungry?" Li Xiumei asked with a smile when she saw that her son and grandson had stuffed buns in their mouths.

Zhang Chi stretched out his finger to Xiaoxiao: "I'm here to catch him."

"Grandma, I want to eat your buns."

Xiaoxiao's mouth is really sweet.

After hearing this, Li Xiumei said, "Just eat steamed stuffed buns. Later, I'll make you some soup. How about eating steamed stuffed buns...".

Zhang Chi saw his mother's behavior, and immediately said: "Mom, no need, it's almost gone, so don't bother."

Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, Xiaoxiao said, "Grandma, I want to eat tomato and egg soup."

"Okay, grandma will do it for you."

When Li Xiumei heard this, she immediately cheered up, and turned around to make tomato and egg soup.

"Going to work?"

Li Xiumei gestured to Zhang Chi.

"What live?"

Zhang Chi was a little confused, he didn't know what wink his mother was giving him, and he didn't want to drink soup.

"Go outside and get some tomatoes, wait to eat ready-made ones, you are also three years old?" Li Xiumei thinks that her son is usually very clever, why is his IQ a little bit off today, such an obvious thing, I have to ask one more question.

Only then did Zhang Chi realize that he had asked himself to pick tomatoes, so he threw the last piece of bun skin into his mouth, stood up, opened the kitchen door, and went outside to pick tomatoes in the small vegetable garden.

Today's sky is very dark, there is no star above the head, and there is no moonlight, it is so dark that you can't see your fingers.

If it weren't for the lights in Zhangchi Ranch, I wouldn't be able to see anything.

Zhang Chi took out the flashlight from the gourd, unscrewed it, and took a photo towards several breeding boxes he had planted himself.

Tomatoes are easy to find, because tomatoes have a shelf, and they don't slip away in the middle. They are not as high as beans, and they almost reach the waist.

When he came to the shelf of tomatoes, Zhang Chi took a look, picked two or three and held them in his hands before going back to the house.

As soon as he turned his head, he heard a faint movement in the distance.

Looking in the direction of the movement, Zhang Chi found that the lights in the cowboy dormitory over there were on, and several gray figures came out of their respective dormitories. It seemed that something was wrong.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chi hurried back to the kitchen and handed the tomatoes to his mother.

"I'll go and have a look, it seems that something happened to the ranch," Zhang Chi said while putting the remaining basket of steamed buns into a plastic bag.

"Uncle, am I still full?"

Xiao Xiao saw that his uncle put all the last basket of steamed buns into a plastic bag, and thought that his uncle wanted to eat alone, so he immediately protested.

"Steam if you are not full, and tell your mother tomorrow morning if you talk too much, don't sleep well, eat at night and don't brush your teeth."

As he spoke, Zhang Chi gently poked his little nephew's head.

When the little guy heard that his uncle was going to do this, he immediately became honest, but the expression on his face was obviously not very convinced.

Zhang Chi was not in the mood to play with his little nephew, so he walked out with the bag containing the buns.

When they arrived at the stables, Zhang Chi found that Cannon and Brian were preparing the horses.

Zhang Chi asked the two of them, "What's going on?"

While talking, he put the bags in front of the two of them in turn.

Both Cannon and Brian had eaten steamed stuffed buns before, and they were not polite to Zhang Chi when they saw this, they just stuffed the steamed stuffed buns into their mouths, and kept working while stuffing them.

"A cow over there had a dystocia. Dominique came to inform us that something went wrong during delivery," Brian said.

"The craftsmanship of these two is too rough. Let's go and see," Cannon said.

After hearing this, Zhang Chi hung the buns on the door of the stable, and he took a saddle sweat pad or something, and started to set up Chiyanshan.

The three of them were all veterans, and soon the horses were ready, and everyone rode on their own horses and went to the pasture in the west.

Cannon and Brian ate buns together, and Zhang Chi asked about the situation in detail.

Dystocia of cows is not a big deal, the first-born cows have the greatest chance of encountering this problem, and many cows in Zhangchi Ranch are now facing this problem.

Some cows have no experience of calving for the first time, which requires the cowboys to take care of them carefully to understand when such cows may calve, and they have to provide some companionship at that time.

If there is no human intervention, then it is easy to cause the calf to die, no, it is not the worst result, the worst is that the cow does not survive, and the calf is completely dead.

This was the case with Laifu before. If there hadn't been the intervention of several people at that time, Laifu and Laifu's mother would have to confess that night.

The three of them galloped all the way, galloping along the horse path, and soon arrived at the place.

A cow giving birth to a calf will leave the herd and find a place where it feels safe and comfortable to give birth to a calf, so the place Cannon and the three came to is next to a leeward grove, not in a grove, It was beside the grove, under the outermost oak tree.

The calf has been born, beside Kevin and Xavier.

The cow has stood up and is licking the calf with her tongue.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chi asked.

It has been a little time since the notification, and with Kevin and Xavier pulling the calf out, it stands to reason that the calf can stand up.

Although humans have domesticated cattle for thousands of years, as herbivores, some characteristics still remain. For example, calves can stand up soon after they are born.

"The calf seems to have hurt his leg," Xavier said.

"Boss, it's my fault. I didn't notice it when I pulled it. The calf's front hooves are a little curled. Finally, Kevin reminded me..."

Xavier said.

Zhang Chi didn't say much, the thing had already happened, and it was useless to complain any more, even the most careful cowboy couldn't guarantee that every time he encountered something, he would handle it perfectly.

Although a calf was injured, Zhang Chi felt a little distressed, but he still didn't get angry at Xavier.

"Be careful next time, have you called a doctor yet?"

Zhang Chi has free doctors here. Isaac and his group have a team of veterinarians. The level is definitely not low. After all, they are engaged in scientific research. What is the water like.

"The doctor happened to be away today, and they went back to town with some samples in the afternoon," Bryan said.

Zhang Chi snorted.

Cannon was checking the calf at this time. Based on his experience, he quickly saw the problem. He still hurt the calf's leg when pulling the calf out of the birth canal, but it was not a serious problem. It would be easy Just hang some water and feed some medicine to increase your physique.

Now Cannon’s biggest concern is not the calf, but the cow. If Xavier and Kevin hurt the cow this time, it will be a big loss for the ranch.

Normally, a cow can give birth to ten calves, but now if the body is injured, the ranch will suffer a great loss.

So Cannon immediately checked the cow with Brian, and they were relieved that the cow was fine.

Now the cow is fine, so the calf's problem is not a problem.

Cannon took off the sleeve on his arm and stuffed it into a disposable bag.

"In the future, the three of us will take turns to arrange shifts."

These words were directed at Brian.

Kevin is 28 years old, and the Dominique brothers are both in their twenties. They didn't feel it when nothing happened before, but today, Cannon felt that the young people's work was too rough, so he decided to do it every day in the future. The night shift requires an old cowboy seat, otherwise who knows if you will have such luck next time if you continue.

"Okay, let's discuss with Zarrick tomorrow and see how this shift should be arranged." Brian didn't object, and he also felt that today's incident was the luck of himself and others. If the cow was injured, it would be bad for the ranch. It's not a small loss.

While chatting, everyone waited to see if the Mavericks could stand up.

The Maverick was working hard, but his front leg seemed to be soft, and he didn't exert any effort at all, so he tried many times, but the Maverick still couldn't stand up.

"Boss, go back first, this calf probably won't be able to stand up today." Cannon looked at the situation and said to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't insist on staying, and he also knew that he really couldn't help here, except to make trouble for others, that is, to be a mascot.

After saying a few words to everyone and comforting Xavier and Kevin at the same time, Zhang Chi rode on Chiyan Mountain and ran towards the gate of the ranch.

Zhang Chi knew that Cannon would definitely scold the two of them. It would be strange if Cannon didn't scold others after this happened, and Xavier and Kevin should also scold them.

As the supervisor of the ranch, Cannon is now in a very upright position. As the boss, Zhang Chi is definitely not suitable for swearing, so he, the cowboy supervisor, must do the swearing.

To put it clearly, in front of the cowboys, Cannon will always be a bad face, while Zhang Chi is the image of a "good boss".
