I was woken up twice in one night. Fortunately, Zhang Chi had nothing serious to do during the day. Otherwise, he would have gone crazy a long time ago. But even if he went crazy, he would probably just kick Ergou twice. He had to feed him when he got up. Who let Ergou be the first to do so?
Mom doesn't have milk, so she can't just watch the kitten starve to death.
After getting up, Zhang Chi saw that the door to the second bedroom was open and Melika had left. The bedroom was empty as if no one had been there.
After washing up, Zhang Chi made some breakfast for himself and some food for the two dogs. After all, he had to supplement his nutrition after giving birth to a kitten.
After breakfast, I fed the kitten again. This time, Zhang Chi had more experience. Instead of taking a whole bottle, he only took half a bottle of milk. He was afraid that the kitten would be eaten to death. This guy really ate everything he wanted.
, the food will not stop until it reaches the throat and the milk is about to spit out. It is a bit like Ergou's childhood style.
I have to go to my uncle's parents' house during the day, and send back tables and chairs, and some freshly killed beef and mutton.
After going to the city for a trip, having a meal at his uncle's house at noon, and then returning to work on the ranch in the afternoon, Zhang Chi's life returned to his usual ordinary life.
During this period, neighbors kept asking Zhang Chi for the recipe for sesame paste. These guys didn’t know how to make sesame paste, and they immediately fell in love with the taste of sesame paste. Zhang Chi had nothing to hide, so many people asked him, so he just directly
So I wrote the recipe on the blackboard in Kimberly’s bar.
If you want to know, just go and copy it.
What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that sesame sauce became popular and hot pot became popular nearby. Moreover, these people modified it according to their own tastes and developed cheese hot pot and tomato sauce pot.
In the entire town of Amber, every household has begun to cook hot pot.
This situation is not difficult to understand. First of all, hot pot is convenient. For foreigners, it is easier to operate. Put your favorite sauce in a pot of water. After boiling, add some vegetables and meat, take it out and dip it in some sesame sauce.
The family's meal was hot and delicious.
In an environment as cold as Amber, it would be strange if the hotpot didn't become popular.
What makes Zhang Chi a little uncomfortable is that the price of live cattle has not increased yet, and is still hovering around two and a half yuan, looking lifeless.
This made Zhang Chi wonder if Melika was making fun of him.
But there is no other way. Now that it has reached this point, Zhang Chi can't just sell it. If he keeps waiting, if there is no movement before Christmas, Zhang Chi estimates that he will have to wait until the spring of next year when the harvest is no longer available.
Take action.
It's not that there is no good news. The cattle raised by Zhang Chi's family are growing while eating. Now the average bull has reached more than 1,200 pounds. In other words, although the cattle have not been sold yet, the hidden wealth of Zhang Chi's ranch is still there.
Sex income is constantly increasing.
Even at the current price, Zhang Chi's income is much higher than a month ago.
As the days passed and the meat on the cows grew day by day, Zhang Chi still kept an eye on the price of beef.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and people's activities are getting slower and slower. For example, Amberley's bar, which used to open in the morning, now opens after three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Chi would also go there once or twice a week to listen to the cowboys bragging about their coins, or join in scolding the bunch of idiots in the special zone.
In the past, Zhang Chi didn't know that the American people were also dissatisfied with the government. When he got here, he heard the cowboys, farmers and ranchers complain, and Zhang Chi found it particularly interesting.
This afternoon, Zhang Chi rode Chi Yanshan to the bar.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and many cowboys in the bar had finished their work for the day and were ready to drink some horse urine for the evening's work.
The work on the ranch is quite busy at this time, because all the cattle and sheep are almost finished eating and drinking in the shed now, and enough cowboys are needed to take care of these guys.
After working hard all day, the cowboys now have a rare leisure time. They drink and curse here, fight from time to time, vent, and then continue working at night.
"George!"
Zhang Chi opened the door and walked into the bar. Many cowboys greeted Zhang Chi.
The situation is completely different from when he first came here. Now Zhang Chi is no longer like at the beginning. Many cowboys looked at him with colored glasses. The cows are raised very well, which is what they are capable of here. Cowboys are xenophobic, but they will not xenophobic.
People of this caliber are just like Americans who are anti-foreign but never exclusive of the rich. As long as you have money, no matter you are yellow, black, or Latino, you will get enough respect here.
"Hello! Thomas, you are strong again."
“Horton, your beard has grown again”
…
After greeting everyone one by one, Zhang Chi sat on the high chair next to the bar counter in the bar.
He tapped it lightly with his finger: "Kimberly, same old".
Kimberly nodded after hearing this, and after waiting for the work at hand to be finished, she brought Zhang Chi a bottle of beer and a small plate of beans to go with the wine.
The beans are green beans, which are about the same size as soybeans. They are coated with a layer of paste and fried in a pan. There are several flavors. Zhang Chi’s favorite is the peppery one, which has a light lake pepper flavor combined with the aroma of beans.
It suits Zhang Chi's taste.
After taking a sip of beer, Zhang Chi squeezed a bean and put it in his mouth, chewing it while listening to the cowboys talking nonsense.
The TV was also very lively. On the news, there was another shooting incident somewhere, and there were people protesting somewhere. After the news, it was about current affairs. A few people sat down at the table and started talking about the current domestic and international situation.
In programs like this, the word China appears almost as often as the word America, either talking about China's threats to the United States or talking about its infrastructure achievements.
On the contrary, the old rival Russia does not appear often.
These people talk eloquently, but they probably have no idea how to do it. For example, some people are proposing to build a high-speed railway and talking about what will happen if this high-speed railway is built.
Zhang Chi curled his lips inwardly as he watched, because there was a high probability that this would not be possible.
Why? You don’t have to have land to build a high-speed rail. If you don’t have land, you just fly over it from the sky?
The critical issue now is how to acquire land. If you acquire land at market price, which rancher will be willing to do so? If I have a good piece of land, you can take a high-speed train from the middle and run on it all day long. What will happen to my ranch?
Will the farm have any impact?
The impact is certain. Not to mention other things, noise alone is inevitable. Is there anything else besides voice? Which rancher doesn’t worry?
If you are from a small family, then that's fine. Many of these developers want to take over your land. Don't think that the law here is greater than heaven. The law can provide you with justice. Americans themselves don't believe in this.
But how could it be possible that there are no owners on this line who are so powerful that ordinary people can't afford to offend them? Tens of thousands of acres of pasture are nothing new in the United States, and they are not rare in the United States. Not to mention the West, there are those in New York
There are many big dog owners like this near the breeding place.
Owning such a large piece of land, even if you do nothing and have no other industries, is the owner of the Qing Dynasty. Whether in the local area or the local council, the energy of such a person cannot be underestimated.
It sounds lively on TV, but if you really want to build this road, it is probably not much worse than a Tang Dynasty monk going to the West.
As for how much money should be allocated and what things should be done, let alone it. I think half of this money can be used for serious work. I would be very grateful. The government has allocated money before the money comes out. A bunch of bad wolves have already lined up.
It’s time to sit and divide the fruits.
After finishing a bottle of wine and happily watching the cowboys swearing at each other, Zhang Chi prepared to go home.
He hasn't left the stool yet.
Suddenly a cowboy shouted: "The price of cattle has gone up! It's two six dollars now."
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Chi immediately shrank his butt back.
"What? Has it really gone up?"
Immediately, a rancher stood up and asked loudly to the speaker.
"Well, there has been news over there. The harvest price is now two yuan and six!"
"Quickly, cut the screen."
In an instant, the TV screen switched to the local station, with news on it, and the price of live cattle was printed on the scrolling subtitles below. Sure enough, it was two yuan and six!
"Why did it suddenly rise all of a sudden?"
Suddenly someone asked.
Zhang Chi waited with his ears pricked up, but unfortunately no one knew why the price of live cattle suddenly increased.
Zhang Chi waited for a while and looked at the news. There was no official news, but in the comments, a group of people said a lot, but actually said nothing.
After staying for more than half an hour, there was no definite news, so Zhang Chi went home.
When I got home, I saw Cannon.
"BOSS, the price of cattle has gone up again," Cannon said.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "I know, it's only two and a half yuan, and I don't make much money."
"It's good news anyway," Cannon said.
Zhang Chi nodded.
After returning home and feeding the kitten, Zhang Chi started flipping through the webpage to see what caused the cattle price to suddenly jump by a dime today.
It's a pity that the news on the Internet is too confusing. Some say that the problem is serious in Texas, and some say that infected cattle have also been found in the East. In short, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is all said by people on the Internet.
Yes, there is no official news.
sleep!
There was no serious news, so Zhang Chi decided to sleep.
But when Zhang Chi woke up the next day, better news came: the price of cattle had risen again, and was already close to 2.7 yuan.
Two days later, the price broke through 2.7 yuan and rushed straight towards 2.8 yuan.
Now Zhang Chi became nervous again and decided whether to sell the cattle. If he sold it now, he was afraid that it would rise again later. What if he didn't sell it now and it would fall again?
Tangled!
However, Zhang Chi's dilemma did not last for a few days. Just when Zhang Chi was still thinking about whether to sell or not to sell, the price of cattle directly broke through 2.9 yuan, heading towards the record high of 3 yuan.
Now Zhang Chi really didn't dare to wait any longer. This was too scary. He called the buyer directly and sold everything in his ranch that could be sold for only two yuan and ninety-five cents.
There were a total of two hundred and fifty Gascon cattle plus mixed cattle. Because the price of Gascon cattle was higher, these cattle were exchanged for Zhang Chi for a total of US$630,000.
After paying off all the loans, Zhang Chi still had 300,000 US dollars left in his pocket. After receiving the money, Zhang Chi felt like he was walking with wind.
