Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 367 National Distress and Wealth

  Jian Heng saw these people got out of the car and lifted a steelyard directly, so he said to Old Walsh and Catherine: "You can't do it, can you?"

Seeing his attitude, it must be that he wanted to settle the money with him according to the market price. Originally, Jian Heng didn't intend to collect the money from the two companies. In Jian Heng's opinion, it was just some silage. Anyway, he kept it in his home. It's also left, of course, the main reason is that Jian Heng's pocket is not very short of money now, so he didn't think about using the silage to make money for Catherine and the old Walsh's family.

   "Give us all the green materials, and we are already very grateful. It is not appropriate not to spend money. If you insist, we have no choice but to not use the green materials," Catherine said.

Neither Catherine nor Old Walsh is the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. Originally, Jane Heng was willing to sell her silage at this time, which would be regarded as helping everyone. Nor would they want the silage given by Jian Hengbai, even if they needed it very much.

For old-fashioned ranchers like Catherine and Walsh Sr., their parents taught them not to take other people's things. They belong to others. Get it and reach out to take advantage of others.

  Jian Heng has been with the two for a long time, and when he saw the tone of the two, he no longer refused, and nodded directly: "You can do whatever you like!"

   As Jian Heng turned around, he took out the key and opened the warehouse.

"Wow!"

  When the warehouse door opened, not to mention Catherine and Old Walsh, even the cowboys who followed were stunned.

  Colt's eyes widened and he said, "This is simply a vault!"

   After hearing this, Jian Heng waited for everyone to finish laughing, and said to Colter, "You brought a roomful of gold here, and I'll trade it with you at a disadvantage!"

   "No change!" Colter said with a smile: "If there is a room full of gold, I would rather go to L.A. (Los Angeles) to see the thighs and see the drunkenness!"

Old Walsh turned his head to look at his son Remington, and said seriously: "When you have dinner tonight, don't forget to remind me to remove your brother from my will! If the ranch is given to him, It’s equivalent to a month-to-month dress girl in Los Angeles!”

Ha ha ha ha!

   Seeing a warehouse full of silage, all the cowboys present knew that they could minimize their losses in this snowstorm.

As for the heavy snow that hurt others, I'm sorry, that's another family's business. When the cattle are sold next year, the more people are injured by the snow, the higher the price of their own cattle will be. Time reality is so cruel to the Cowboys.

Few of the people present thought about the issue of selling cattle next year. Jian Heng helped his neighbors and made a small profit at the same time, so he was very happy. Catherine and Old Walsh no longer worried about the shortage of silage. Sad, as for the cowboys, they simply enjoy the joy of jumping out of the predicament.

The 200 packs of silage in each family is just like what Jian Heng said, but it is not so easy to move. The weight is not too heavy. It takes two or three trips to finish.

   "My God! How much did you save?"

After the two trips, Old Walsh discovered that Jian Heng still had a small half of the warehouse's materials. When he heard that Jian Heng's livestock ate food from the small warehouse, and there was another warehouse of the same size, his whole body was shocked. It's all a little bad.

He knows how many cattle and sheep Jian Heng has raised. Let’s put it this way, it’s not okay to sell the cattle and sheep raised by Jian Heng. The ranch, but only refers to Jian Heng's home. Every year, the cattle and sheep bred by cattle and sheep are just enough to feed a few people.

   With such a small amount of cattle and sheep, even if bison and deer are added, there is no need to store so much green fodder. If Old Walsh knew about this before the snow fell, he must think that Jian Heng is mentally ill!

But now Jian Heng, who is mentally ill, has encountered God's help. After a few days of blizzard, the entire Rocky Mountain pastures began to lack silage. There is really no silage, so we can only switch to grain feeding. , Of course, the price of grain-fed beef is much lower than that of grass-fed beef.

Moreover, the cattle have grown to half their size. Changing from grass-fed to grain-fed is tantamount to a waste of grass-fed efforts in the early stage. Even if the cattle are sold in the end, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compare the cost with the selling price. People have a sense of joy.

   This snowfall immediately transformed Jian Heng from a mental illness into a guy with foresight.

"This is the weight we weighed, and we gave it at the market price, with a little change removed..." Old Walsh said as he took out the list he had written down, with the weight of each bag on it, and then compared Add up to get a total weight, and multiply the total weight by the unit price to get a total price. After erasing the fraction after the hundreds, Old Walsh wrote a check to Jian Heng.

   "There are so many?"

   After taking the check and looking at the numbers on it, Jian Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect the price of silage to be so high now.

   "Tomorrow there will be more rises! So I will come and transport the materials back today, so as not to rise again tomorrow," Old Walsh said.

Seeing the doubts on Jian Heng's face, Catherine handed the check and the record book in front of Jian Heng, and at the same time revealed a message to Jian Heng: "There was an avalanche on the mountain pass in the southeast, and I want to restore the traffic there. It will take four days at the fastest, think about how many silage gaps there will be in the public pastures over there in just four days?"

  Everyone drove the cattle there just to save some green material, but they didn’t expect that not only the green material was not saved, but they also cheated themselves.

Here I have to complain about the rescue speed of the Americans, which was a little stronger when the plane hit the building. For example, it takes four or five days for an avalanche to come out of the mountain pass. It takes a day and a half to recover.

   "Avalanche?" Jian Heng was startled when he heard the snack. How could Jian Heng know that there would be an avalanche here? After staying here for several years, he had only heard of landslides, and this was the first time he heard an avalanche.

  Old Walsh sighed and said, "I haven't heard an avalanche there in almost twenty years!"

Old Walsh did not expect to store a large amount of silage. In fact, he was also affected by experience. Everyone said that global warming had occurred. How could he have imagined that there would be such a big snowstorm all of a sudden, and people could not go out for three days. , covering all pastures.

  Catherine echoed and said: "Yes, my third son Cooper was less than ten years old when the avalanche happened last time, and now he is almost thirty and has become a researcher at the university."

  Jian Heng couldn't help being amused when he heard this: "You are all interested now, and you are starting to remember. If you have nothing to do, go home early and go to work. I still have a lot of things here."

"Yes, business is important!" Old Walsh swept away the haze in the morning, originally thinking of taking advantage of some emergency, but now the matter is all resolved because the neighbor 'made a fool', and the mood is suddenly good. No matter how good it is, if old Walsh wants to be more active, Jian Heng's face can be kissed by the old man now.

  The two drove away in the car, Jian Heng turned around and locked the door, and returned home with two checks in his pocket.

  Sun Xiuying saw her son came back, she couldn't help shaking the two pieces of paper in her hands, so she asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

   "Mom, did you see that your son sold all the grass for money!"

After hearing this, Sun Xiuying asked: "You take money from someone else? Don't forget that they gave us two ponies. You can't be like this. Give them back the money, or they won't be behind your back." Poke our spines?"

  Sun Xiuying really couldn't remember the foreign names of several neighbors, so she had to use so-and-so instead and let her son play guessing.

  Sun Xiuying is also very particular about being a human being. If someone sent two horses, she would even sell the grass to others. She felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

Jian Heng smiled and said: "Mom, this is one size fits all. You don't understand the temperament of Americans. If you don't charge money, they will feel uncomfortable. It's best to charge money at this time. It's like you in the United States. Eating with people, you don’t have AA after the meal, if you grab the order, it will make them feel uncomfortable, thinking why should I ask you to pay for my meal, it will make them unhappy, this is a different living habit!"

   "Is there anyone who doesn't like other people's treats?" Sun Xiuying was a little skeptical about her son's explanation.

   "Yes, why not!" Jian Heng was about to explain to his mother when the phone rang suddenly.

  He took it out and looked, and found that it was the old Mo Leijieton from the Morey family who called. The relationship between the old man and Jian Heng is now so-so, and the old Walsh is almost a sworn enemy, and the relationship with Catherine is not bad.

   "Hello, Jayden!" Jian Heng politely greeted Jayden on the phone.

  Lao Mei is used to directness, let alone cowboys, Jie Dun doesn’t have any relationship with Jian Heng at all, so he directly asks Jian Heng if he has any silage.

   "There is so much!" Jian Heng was thinking about who leaked the news.

  Jian Heng didn't expect that it would be a ghost if the people around didn't know about the news of Walsh and Anderson's coming to pull green materials, let alone the time when everyone is out to get busy making snow.

  Let's put it this way, when the first truckload of green materials was shipped out, the interested people in the town received the news, but many people didn't get along well with Jian Heng, so no one came to open their mouths.

  Jayton thought that Jian Heng wanted to raise the price, so he directly quoted a price on the other end of the phone: "I want a hundred packs!"

   "I didn't mean to increase the price, that's all right, come on, you can pay what they charge you," Jian Heng said generously.

After chatting for a few more words, Jian Heng put down the phone, put the check in his mother's hand, walked towards the door, took the key to the warehouse, and said to himself: "I never thought that one day I would be able to Send a fortune to America's national calamity!"

  Sun Xiuying couldn't read English, but she could count. When she saw the words on the check and converted it into RMB, she immediately asked Jian Heng, "Are you cheating? You can sell grass for so much money?"
