pasture leisure

Chapter 47 Furniture
Not in the mood to bother my cousin yet, Zhang Chi's ranch has a new job.

There is no need for Zhang Chi to worry about the pasture with cattle. The grass will be wiped out by the cattle as soon as it grows. From the current point of view, it seems that the speed of grass growth can still support the speed of cattle chewing.

But there is nothing to do with the rest of the pasture. There are no cows to eat and the horses to chew. The grass grows very high. It used to be above the knees, but now these days, the grass is almost waist high.

Zhang Chi wondered if these things would grow into small trees if they were not collected.

There is no way to delay this matter, so at noon the next day when Zhang Chi noticed, he drove to the rental company in the city, planning to rent an all-in-one machine for mowing and baling, and collect the pasture in his pasture. Dial, wait for the grass to dry out and just transport it into your own forage storage.

Just do what you said, Zhang Chi drove to the city humming a little tune.

I went to the restaurant of my uncle and auntie for a lunch, and along the way, I did the waiter's work for dozens of minutes.

"Auntie, I'm leaving."

All the guests in the restaurant had almost left, and the rush hour for dining was over. Zhang Chi put away the last table of bowls and chopsticks, took off his apron and said something to the aunt who was busy in the kitchen.

"Let's go now? Take a break at noon before going." Auntie walked out of the kitchen and smiled at Zhang Chi.

"Go early and come back early. By the way, Brother Xiaowu told me the day before yesterday that he would be back in two days. Do you know that?" Zhang Chi asked.

The aunt said: "I know, he said that he made something, I didn't understand it, anyway, this kid started to make trouble again, if you see him, please persuade me, don't be such a big man and still go all day long." There is no certainty."

"If I want to persuade you, I have already persuaded you," Zhang Chi said with a wry smile, then said to his aunt and left, and turned to go out.

"Oh, I forgot, there is a place for sale in the south today, do you want to go and have a look?" Auntie said.

Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard the words: "Today? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Generally speaking, this kind of sales meeting needs to be announced in advance, or it depends on where the neighbors have any transaction volume. Zhang Chi really didn't get the news this time.

The aunt said: "I just found out, your Auntie Phil just showed off that she bought a toaster, and the brand new one is only fifteen yuan."

"Then I have to go check it out!"

As soon as Zhang Chi heard this, he decided to let the matter of renting agricultural machinery be postponed. He was still sleeping on the floor, so he had to take this opportunity to get a bed and go back.

"Auntie, I'll return the RV to you when I'm done packing up." Zhang Chi thought of the RV.

The aunt said: "No, no, you can put it there and use it. Your uncle and I don't use it once a year. It was fresh for a few days when we bought it, and it lasted for several years when we threw it away. Our family now There is no place to put it, I will put it on your side first, in case you hire someone in the future, it can still be used.”

When the couple bought an RV, they thought about it, and took their children on a trip, but they only used it once or twice after buying it, and now they don’t need it anymore. One of the two sons is far away, and the other is not close. Spectrum, how can anyone travel with the old couple.Even if the couple wants to leave the restaurant to play, they can't hang around in the neighborhood, they must go to the beach or go to the big city, this thing is not useful at all.

"That's all right, just let me go first, I'm leaving, go see what they have for sale, don't wait until it's too late for the good things to be snatched away," Zhang Chi said and went out.

Get in the car and go directly to the place Auntie said.

When I got to the place, I saw stalls set up at the door of every house.

The city is not the same as the suburbs. There is a small courtyard in the suburbs, but there are very few houses in the city that have built a courtyard wall. At most, they use a fence to block it. It's just a big turf, on which children usually play with their dogs, it's just a small stall at this time.

Parked the car on the side of the road, Zhang Chi got out of the car and took a look. The first shop didn't have anything that Zhang Chi liked. They sold some old clothes and some small kitchen appliances. I bought it, and the kitchen is not short of these things, so after a few glances, I got into the car and continued to stroll in.

When he arrived at the second house, Zhang Chi found something he liked in the car, two single sofas with two dollars written on white paper.

The furniture is very cheap, because few people want it, and it is expensive to dispose of it, so it is usually a few dollars. As long as it is not an antique or something, no matter how good the furniture is, it will not exceed ten yuan if you put it at the door.

After stopping the car, Zhang Chi came to the sofa and took a look.

"Two dollars!"

Zhang Chi raised his head and followed the voice, only to find a little girl sitting on the ground, about four or five years old, very cute, with two shofar braids, wearing little princess costumes, the kind of Disney princess costumes , is now playing with a French fight.

"Two dollars for one, or two dollars for both?"

Zhang Chi asked the little girl.

Now the little girl was confused by Zhang Chi's question, her little face was full of confusion, and she didn't know how to answer Zhang Chi.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

The little girl didn't understand, she was stunned for a while, turned over and ran towards the house.

Soon he dragged a fat white man in his early thirties out.

Zhang Chi couldn't help being happy when he saw this person, because he knew him, but he said that he didn't know each other. This person has been to restaurants several times.

"Hey, buddy, long time no see." The man greeted Zhang Chi with a smile.

The two of you probably don't know my name, and I don't know your last name, they just look familiar.

Fart big little town, there are almost no people who haven't seen it.

"Long time no see, does the sofa count as one or two?" Zhang Chi asked.

"One".

"That's fine! I want it all." Zhang Chi began to take money out of his pocket. The two sofas are good, and the most important thing is that the surface is covered with tarpaulins. It would be perfect under the porch.

After hearing this, the little girl ran to pick up the iron box on the grass, a bit like our domestic biscuit box, and stood beside Zhang Chi to collect the money.

Zhang Chi took out his wallet, counted out four dollars and put them in the box.

After collecting the money, the man helped Zhang Chi carry the sofa into the car.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Chi drove to the next house.

Zhang Chi didn’t find any favorite furniture in the next few stores. It’s not that these houses don’t have them, but that they sell almost all the stuff with leather bags. Zhang Chi doesn’t like this kind of bed, and he doesn’t like too complicated decoration. It doesn't match his little house, besides, it also takes up space.

His house is small and simple furniture is more appropriate.

I went around a few more, but I didn’t find any furniture, so Zhang Chi saw a big refrigerator and opened the door again. It was about [-]% to [-]% new, and the price was good, so Zhang Chi got out of the car to have a look, and paid the money for the man to buy it. The master helped to carry it into the car.

Just as I was about to get in the car and continue walking, two little girls came over.

"Sir, would you like some orange juice?"

Zhang Chi turned his head and saw that the two little girls were only at the age of elementary school. One was holding a plastic bottle of about four or five liters, and the other was holding a wooden pallet in his hand. On both sides, the middle hangs on the little girl's neck.

It's a bit like the thing we saw selling cigarettes on the street in the old society.

There is also a small flag next to the pallet, and the small flag says to help XX.

One can tell at a glance that these two little girls are engaged in a charity sale. If there is any difficulty, they sell some homemade soda and the like, and the money from the sale will be donated to those in need.

Most of the materials used are from our own family, like the people here, some families will plant one or two fruit trees in the yard, and most of these fruit trees are on the side of the road.

The fruits produced are not sold, in fact, there is no way to sell them, because everyone has them. Where can you sell them, and there is no fruit merchant to collect them.

Therefore, those who have fruit trees at home usually pick the fruits when they are ripe and give them to others.

If you don’t pick the fruit and let it fall to the ground, the neighbors will trouble you if it rots, because you messed up the environment of the entire community and lowered the price of the house.

So, here, Zhang Chi doesn’t know much about other places, but here in Folsom, if a passer-by wants to eat a fruit and sees it happens to be on a tree by the roadside, then you can pick one or two at will, and it’s not a bad idea. Someone will say something about you.Many hosts will take the initiative to ask you to pick more when they see it.

"Have a drink!"

Usually, adults would buy a glass of it, and there are very few miserly people who don’t pay for it. Besides, this thing is really not expensive. Ordering a glass of juice at any restaurant will cost more than the price of children.

And these juices are all pure fruit juices, nothing mixed with water and flavored.

When the little girl heard that Zhang Chi wanted a glass, the two of them immediately cooperated and poured the glass one by one, and soon a full glass of orange juice was handed to Zhang Chi.

As soon as Zhang Chi got it in his hand, he felt a coolness spread to his hand through the cup.

Folsom is not hot, it is the hottest time of the year at this time, and the daytime is only [-] degrees, and it is less than [-] degrees, but the people here don't know how to drip, even in winter Everyone likes ice water.

"Thanks!"

After thanking him, Zhang Chi found that the little girl was tearing off the sticker, so he bent down and waited for the little girl to tear off the sticker and stick it on his collar before straightening up.

I bought a glass of water and sent a cartoon design, one is to explain that Zhang Chi has presented this little love, and it is also for other children who sell it to see, so that no more children will come to ask. Of course, if you want to have another glass, it is also possible.

The orange juice in the glass was too full, Zhang Chi took a sip, sat back in the car, put the orange juice on the cup holder, and drove the car forward slowly.

After going around for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi found another set of tables and chairs, and a small bed.

After receiving the car, I continued to drive, and finally Zhang Chi found a large wooden bed that was considered satisfactory, and then got it in the car. Zhang Chi felt that today was complete.

I was about to rent agricultural machinery. When I went to the agricultural machinery company, I found a group of assembly cabinets on the side of the road. I knew it was IKEA at a glance. I thought it was pretty good, so Zhang Chi put away the car again.

This turned around and filled the entire pickup truck's rear compartment to the brim, and finally had to get a rope to fix it.

When he arrived at the agricultural machinery company, Zhang Chi rushed in just in time to get off work, and rented a lawn mower and baler.

The service provided by them is good. The machine is delivered to the door, and the charge is based on the number of acres. With the development of technology, it is difficult to take advantage of profiteers.

The services provided here are various. If you don't have a driver, they can also provide professional harvesting services.

But still the old saying, Zhang Chi has no money, so he can only do it himself.

After leaving the agricultural machinery company, the car was out of Folsom, and Zhang Chi's cell phone rang.

"Hey!"

"Come and pick me up!"

The voice of my cousin Zhang Wu came from the other end of the phone.

"You said two days are really two days?" Zhang Chi thought when did you become so punctual, and he thought it would take at least ten and a half months to answer the phone.

"I'm already at the airport, come here quickly," Zhang Wu said.

No way, turn around!
So Zhang Chi turned back and went straight to the airport.
