When the early morning sunlight shines through the window and shines on Zhang Chi's bedside, Zhang Chi opens his eyes. Today, he no longer lies in bed. Instead, he quickly gets up, puts on his clothes, gets in the car and runs to the city.
go.
First I withdrew money and then went to my uncle's restaurant.
Zhang Youliang saw Zhang Chi's pickup truck parked at the door, walked out and asked, "Why do you go to Folsom every day?"
"I just bought a horse, why don't I come here to withdraw the money? I just don't have anything to do over there right now, so I came here to help you," Zhang Chi said.
"Bought a horse? How much did it cost?" Zhang Youliang asked.
Zhang Chi said: "Six hundred yuan."
"It's expensive," Zhang Youliang said.
Zhang Youliang didn't ask if there was any pedigree certificate or anything like that, because 600 yuan would obviously not come with a pedigree certificate, but without a pedigree certificate, 600 yuan would be too expensive for a medium-sized riding horse, no matter what kind of horse it is.
, it’s only four to five hundred yuan, and no one wants more. This is an agricultural and animal husbandry state, and there are a lot of horses here.
"The main reason is that the training is good, and I like it too. It's worth spending an extra hundred yuan," Zhang Chi said to his uncle with a smile.
The uncle and nephew walked into the house as they talked.
When the aunt saw Zhang Chi coming, she opened her mouth and said, "Why are you here again today?"
Zhang Chi repeated the sentence, then found a small bench and sat down to help the uncle and aunt choose vegetables.
"Where's Brother Xiao Wu?"
After choosing for a while, I didn't see Brother Zhang Wu, so Zhang Chi said something casually.
"Who knows where he went and wandered last night? He was like a monkey without a penis." When the aunt mentioned her second son, her brain ached. She was already thirty years old and had no real business all day long.
There is no one, it is really worrying.
"What have you put away now?" Zhang Youliang asked.
Zhang Chi said: "I haven't purchased anything. It's just a horse and a house. It will be a few days until someone comes to look at the terrain. The cow is also looking at it now. There will be an auction in a few days. I'm going to have a look.
If it’s suitable, I’ll buy a batch first…”.
Zhang Chi told his uncle about his plan.
"That means you didn't buy anything for the ranch?" Zhang Youliang said.
Zhang Chi said: "Is there anything else?"
"If you have cattle, you must not mark your cattle. You must have an iron mark for branding, right? And you don't have sprinkler equipment now. You must prepare a watering car. Even if there is no watering car,
You should always buy a jar. If there's a drought or something, you won't be able to get rid of it all at once.
There is also a baler. If you can’t afford one, you have to tell the company that rents the agricultural machinery from you when you want to use it. Don’t try to rent it when the time comes, but they’ve already rented it out... I’ll help
Just ask and I will give you the list later."
Zhang Youliang was also worried about his nephew. After returning from the ranch, he called his friend and asked him what things are usually used in the ranch. He was afraid that his eldest nephew would be busy working on the ranch for the first time.
After hearing what his uncle said, Zhang Chi realized that he lacked quite a lot.
Forget about the irrigation truck. He has a gourd here, so how can he use that thing? However, gourds can sprinkle water, but if only a small gourd can sprinkle five hundred acres, Zhang Chi will have a headache just thinking about it.
How to do it?
Zhang Chi's first thought was to buy an agricultural drone.
Of course, you have to solve the problem of branding first, that is to say, get a mark for your pasture and put it on the cow, then the cow will know the obvious mark.
This way, if your own cattle run into someone else's pasture, it will be easier to find them.
There is also a mark on the cow that makes it easier to identify it. If the cow is stolen, the mark can be used to get it back from the police. As for the ear tag, it is useless if the cow thief just picks it off.
The marks on the cow are not easy to remove.
Zhang Chi knew this originally, but he didn't think of it for a while, so when his uncle reminded him, Zhang Chi realized that his ranch still didn't have a serious sign.
Regarding the logo, Zhang Chi didn't bother to think of any otherworldly tricks. He was just an ordinary person. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't think of a Mercedes-Benz logo that was as light and easy to remember, so he simply used his own last name, which is
When the time comes to make a circle with the word Zhang on the outside, and a Chinese character Chapter on the inside, it will be done.
"Looking at it, I really lack a lot of things." Zhang Chi saw his uncle stand up, went into the room and took a piece of paper and handed it to him. He glanced at it and found that there were forty or fifty items listed on it.
I found that I thought I had thought everything through, but in fact, there was a big difference.
"Everything is always difficult at the beginning. It will be fine once you get used to it." Zhang Youliang comforted his nephew.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Zhang Wawu rushed in.
"Hey, why are you here again today? Why is the ranch so busy? I am as busy as a dog working on the ranch. When you get there, you will run here every two days." Zhang Wu saw his cousin
He opened his mouth and said with a smile.
The aunt said: "No matter what, I am better than you. Do you think any restaurant worker can sleep until he wakes up naturally like you?"
Zhang Wudao: "Don't I have something to do? Okay, I'll get to work now."
He sat down and pretended to work. After working for a while, Zhang Wu began to work hard. He chose three vegetables, but he hadn't finished any of them.
"What are you doing again today?"
Zhang Chi said: "I originally came to withdraw money, but now I have a lot more things to do."
Zhang Wu asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Chi picked two items at random and mentioned them.
"Come to me for this matter!" Zhang Wudao said.
When he heard his cousin say that he wanted to find someone to mark a pasture, Zhang Wu immediately agreed to the matter by patting his chest.
"you?"
Zhang Youliang looked at his son and said, "Have you ever done something good?"
"You're looking down on people, aren't you? A friend of mine works in a car repair shop. I'm sure he can have these things at home. Forget it, stop choosing food and come with me. Let's just go and block him."
After saying that, Zhang Wu dropped the food in his hand and directly pulled Zhang Chi up from the bench.
"Looking for someone now?"
It's only eight o'clock at most now, and the town is still awake at this time. Generally speaking, the stores here open at ten o'clock, yes, ten o'clock in the morning.
This is considered early. Some shopkeepers don’t open their business at all in the morning. They sleep until the afternoon, finish their meal and then wander to the shop to open their business.
"It's better to be late than early. Besides, if you get busy, it won't be easy to find someone for help," Zhang Wu said.
Just listen to this, believe it? Or forget it. Zhang Chi looked at Zhang Wu because he just wanted to play and didn't want to do the work of choosing vegetables.
"Wait a moment, there is something else going on here."
After hearing this, the aunt immediately said: "Dachi, you go with him. There is not much left in this dish. Your uncle and I took about ten minutes to finish it."
Zhang Chi said: "Really no need?"
Zhang Youliang also waved his hand towards Zhang Chi: "Go ahead, your aunt and I will finish these things in a while, you should go about your business."
After hearing this, Zhang Chi followed his cousin out the door.
Seeing that Zhang Chi was about to drive, Zhang Wu said: "Don't drive. Let's take one."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi shook the key in his hand. When he saw that it was his uncle's most precious pickup truck, he knew that his cousin had stolen his uncle's car again.
I don’t know when he took out his uncle’s car keys after entering and leaving the house.
"OK!"
Zhang Chi didn't say much, took two steps, opened the car door and got in.
Zhang Wu started the car and drove his cousin Zhang Chi all the way to his friend's house.
When we arrived at the car repair shop, sure enough it wasn't open yet.
Just when Zhang Chi didn't know what to do, Zhang Wu directly picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it out the window on the second floor.
clang!
There was no response, and then Zhang Wu threw it a second time.
After the third click, the window opened, and a sleepy white boy stuck out his head with a chicken coop on his head.
First, let’s talk about a popular curse word in the world.
"Vake, which Bi Qi...Wu, is it you?"
After seeing clearly that it was Zhang Wu who threw the stones, the white boy still looked unhappy. Anyone who wakes up from a peaceful sleep would be angry if he wakes up.
"Open the door, I have something to do with you," Zhang Wu said.
The white boy at the second floor window immediately said another series of curse words.
Zhang Wu is also not polite. The two of you, Bi Qi, and I, Vaque, have come and gone for many reincarnations.
Now Zhang Chi knew that his cousin and this white boy had a very close relationship. If they weren't very good friends, they wouldn't be so careless. The friendship between young people is the same everywhere.
Soon the white boy's head retracted, and immediately another white girl with the same chicken coop head poked her head out of the window.
"Hi! Take!"
"Good morning Jenny".
Zhang Wu also knows this white girl.
The two chatted for a while and then heard the sound of the rolling shutter door below.
Waiting for the door to open, Zhang Chi saw a white boy with bare arms, wearing a pair of yellow pants with a few curse words printed on the pants and a sleepy look standing at the door.
"my brother"
Zhang Wu introduced it casually.
Zhang Chi smiled at the white boy as a greeting.
"This is my friend Mike".
This name is so common. Here, Mike walks all over the ground, Jacks are as numerous as dogs, and Daniel applies to both humans and dogs! He threw the stick and hit ten people, and there were at least two named Mike.
Mike smiled at Zhang Chi as a greeting, and then let the two of them in.
Zhang Wu obviously came here often, and he was not polite when he entered the house. He started to rummage through it, and after a while he found Zhang Chi a wide steel plate about ten centimeters square.
"What kind of mark are you going to make?"
Zhang Chi said: "Write the word "Zhang" and put a circle around it."
"Mike, bring me some chalk," Zhang Wu said.
Mike grabbed a piece of chalk and threw it to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi stretched out his hands to take the chalk, squatted down and drew a serious chapter on the iron plate.
"cool!"
Seeing a Chinese country appear on the iron plate, Mike thought it was so beautiful.
"The writing of this word is just average. It's because you have no knowledge."
Zhang Wu was a little dissatisfied.
Zhang Wu's handwriting is really not as good as Zhang Chi's, because Zhang Chi went to elementary school in China, and Zhang Wu was born and raised in the United States. There is no big problem in speaking Chinese, but writing? Then forget it, one, two, three and four.
He was a little confused by every word.
It's not that Zhang Youliang doesn't teach, it's that Zhang Wu has no interest in learning at all.
