After giving Chi Yanshan a bath, Zhang Chi himself took advantage of the situation and took a dip in the river. When he was waiting for a man and a horse to land, the horse was naked and the man was almost naked too.
Back at the RV, Zhang Chi changed into clean clothes and began to dry Chiyanshan's body.
He wiped it very carefully, not sparing any place, especially the back of the horse's ears and the armpits of the four hooves. Anyway, as long as Zhang Chi could see it, he used a towel to wipe it carefully.
Chi Yanshan also enjoyed this kind of service. Just as Zhang Chi was drying the horse, Chi Yanshan lowered his horse's head and gently scratched Zhang Chi's back with his own horse's mouth.
Itching.
When one person and one horse get along, that is called harmony.
However, a burst of electronic prompts broke this warm scene.
Zhang Chi put the towel on Chi Yanshan's back, turned around and came to the small table, reached out and pressed the screen on the table to see who sent the message.
Originally he didn't intend to answer it, but when he saw it was from Li Qiao, he reached out and picked up the phone.
"Brother, how are things going over there?" Li Qiao asked.
Zhang Chi understood that the enthusiastic brother Li was talking about building a house for himself, so he replied: "He will come over in the next few days, but the specific day has not been determined yet."
Just as I was about to put down my phone, I noticed that Li Qiao’s message was sent over quickly.
"Why is this person like this? Wait for me to push him. Why is this person who was so cheerful before dragging his feet this time? You didn't tell me. You should have told me earlier that I would have pushed him..."
.
Li Qiao replied.
Zhang Chi was really amused by this brother Li whom he had known for a short time. He felt that this person was a good person. If nothing else, just saying this enthusiasm made people feel warm in their hearts.
"I'm not too impatient," Zhang Chi said.
"It's not a big deal for him to live in a car. I'll give him a call later. This old guy is a lamp guy. He can't light it up until he lights it up," Li Qiao replied.
Zhang Chi waited for more than ten seconds and saw no reply, so he continued to finish the work on Chiyan Mountain.
Just as I put down the towel, I heard the phone ring.
After answering the phone, the person there apologized first and then said he would come over tomorrow to check on the land situation in Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi naturally had no objection and hung up the phone after greeting this person twice.
Next, Zhang Chi had to fill his stomach. As for Chiyan Mountain? The grass on the ground was not enough for it to build, so there was no need for Zhang Chi to worry about what it would eat.
Chiyanshan, who had unbridled and saddled his body, wandered around the pasture at will. However, perhaps because it was in a new environment, it did not go far. It just quietly lowered its head and gnawed the weeds on the ground near the small mound.
Zhang Chi cooked instant noodles for himself, added a piece of meat sausage, and finished today's meal.
As soon as it got dark at night, Zhang Chi got into the RV and checked the video to see if there was any new auction information today. When he felt sleepy, he turned off the lantern, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In the morning, Zhang Chi was chatting with Zhou Gong's daughter about ideals and friendships, when suddenly a crisp knock on the door woke Zhang Chi up.
I opened my eyes and looked around, my mind was in a daze.
Boom, boom, boom!
Hearing another knock on the door, Zhang Chi looked over and found a huge head stuck outside the window of his RV.
Shocked!
When I came back to my senses, I realized it was Red Flame Mountain.
Now this guy was looking sideways at Zhang Chi in the car with his huge horse eyes.
"You kid, you're not sleeping. Why are you here knocking on my window? That's what that old bastard Mason taught you before?" Zhang Chi lifted up the quilt and got out of bed, mumbling as he got up.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Stop knocking, didn't you see it getting up?" Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi doesn't know that a horse in Chiyan Mountain feels a little lonely outside. It wants to have a living creature to accompany it now. Apart from itself, there is only one living creature in the entire ranch. Who should Zhang Chi look for?
Zhang Chi got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. When Chi Yanshan saw Zhang Chi coming out, he ran to a place not far from Zhang Chi and continued to nibble on grass.
At this moment, the sun has jumped out from the ridge in the east. The sunlight is already a bit hot and not suitable for looking at with eyes. The whole pasture is bright and the birds on the treetops are chirping and noisy. I don’t know if they are full.
Even though I was exhausted, I still discussed where to find delicious food, but it was endless.
This morning, Zhang Chi didn't go anywhere because the builder he called yesterday wanted to come over to inspect his land.
For breakfast, Zhang Chi cooked some millet porridge for himself, then baked a piece of hand pancake bought in the supermarket, a small piece of fried beef with fresh lettuce, and a lot of tomato sauce. He rolled it up and grabbed it with his hands.
Hand cakes and a mouthful of millet porridge, this breakfast is so comfortable.
After dinner, I simply cleaned up, and then rode up Chiyan Mountain for a circle around the pasture. This time it was not about playing, but walking along my own pasture to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired on the fence.
The fence of Zhang Chi's ranch is almost composed of three parts. Two parts belong to the dividing line between his ranch and the two adjacent ranches. The fences in these two places are quite good. Needless to say, the fence of the original Lion Ranch is rich.
There is no shortage of money, so the single fence is about 2.5 meters high and has two layers of iron mesh. It is not easy for even a rabbit to get through here, let alone a cow.
The fence of another ranch is also very strong. They used tree stumps as thick as a bowl and drove them into the ground. The height of the exposed ground is about 1.56 meters. There are three strong wooden horizontal fences, which are impossible for cattle and sheep to drill through.
.
The worst fence is Zhangchi Ranch’s own, which blocks the ranch’s access to the mountains. Of course, it’s not to prevent the animals in the ranch from going up the mountain, but to prevent the animals on the mountain from getting into the ranch.
This fence was obviously built temporarily when the pasture was divided. Arm-thick wooden stakes were inserted into the ground, and a few simple wires were twisted together to form a fence.
The length of this fence was almost four to five hundred meters. Zhang Chi frowned while riding the Red Flame Mountain and watched it from beginning to end. He wanted to rebuild the fence, but after thinking about his wallet, he could only sigh.
As soon as I make money, I will repair this thing as soon as possible!
Zhang Chi thought to himself.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the RV, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
"Where are you? I'm almost at the gate of your ranch. By the way, I'm standing at the gate of that ranch. Should I turn left or right to go to your place?"
After hearing this, Zhang Chi immediately understood where this person was now: "You go east, until the end of the road, it's just my family."
After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he urged Chi Yanshan to run towards the entrance of his ranch.
After arriving at the door, after waiting for less than two or three minutes, I saw a broken pickup truck driving towards us.
"Boss Zhang?!"
"It's me, please come in, please come in."
At this moment, Zhang Chi had opened the door to his ranch.
"It's not easy to find here."
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Xu. He came from China almost 20 years ago, and now several members of his family live in Great Falls. They lived a pretty good life and belonged to the middle class.
Old Xu has a square face and wears a blue baseball cap with the Bulls team emblem embroidered on his head. It seems that he is a fan who likes the Bulls.
But it's hard to say, maybe he just likes this hat.
He is a very rough man, the kind of middle-aged rough man with a stubble on his face.
But here, dressing up like this is what a man should look like. If he is more refined, he will probably become a sissy in the eyes of the cowboys. In a big city, it would be no problem for a man to dress more refinedly, but here he would probably be laughed at when he goes out.
Well, tolerance and such are not that useful in a conservative place like the West.
"The place is a little off," Zhang Chi said.
"Go and see your land".
Lao Xu refused to be polite to Zhang Chi and directly asked to see the land, so Zhang Chi took him to the small mound.
The land is actually not very attractive. The house Zhang Chi wants to build is of the lowest technical level. To put it mildly, it is almost equivalent to a domestic board house.
Because I have limited money in my pocket, I have saved a lot of expensive things, such as digging the foundation and then filling it with stones, doing waterproofing and then pouring cement. I just put a few simple piles on the ground, and then build the house on the piles.
It’s done. A job like this doesn’t take much time, it can be completed in half a month at most.
In addition, the two of them also confirmed the location on WeChat, so this time Lao Xu came over to simply take a look at the scene, and when he returned, he prepared the ingredients and started work.
"The place is really nice, it's quiet and the scenery is nice." After looking at the place, Old Xu said politely to Zhang Chi.
"It's more suitable. The scenery is naturally better," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Lao Xu didn't ask why he didn't build a bigger house in such a big place. This question was nonsense. Who has money in his pocket and doesn't want to make his life more comfortable? Zhang Chi doesn't want to build it. Could it be that he likes to push and pull?
House? Isn’t that because money doesn’t allow it?
"I've done some math here, and the materials will be ready in about a week. Once ready, we'll start work," Lao Xu said as he got down to business.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Okay, we can build it whenever it's convenient for you."
It's a bit annoying to ask for this and that when you want to save money. Anyway, the weather isn't cold now, so Zhang Chi can afford to wait.
"Hey, I also want to buy a farm, but there seems to be nothing suitable. I have been looking at it for three or four years. Either it has been booked or the price is too expensive. There have been more people buying land here in the past few years...
"Lao Xu suddenly complained.
Zhang Chi also knows this. Nowadays, Chinese people can be seen in larger cities. In the past, most people who came to the United States were concentrated in cities such as Los Angeles and New York, but now there are many Chinese here in Folsom.
Not to mention anywhere else.
And the Chinese people coming out now are different from before. Now these people come to the United States to either buy houses or land. They all seem to have the attitude of riding a crane to Yangzhou with millions in their pockets, buying, buying, buying, buying. These people spend a lot of money.
He is not merciless at all when it comes to raising money, and he has no idea where the money comes from.
"Take your time and watch, you can't rush this kind of thing," Zhang Chi said casually.
"Okay, I won't tell you any more. I have to rush to Edberg. There is a project over there." Old Xu remembered that he still had work to do, so he said goodbye to Zhang Chi.
"Stay for a meal, it will be noon soon." Zhang Chi felt that we Chinese should still have the politeness between us.
Lao Xu looked at his watch: "No need!"
"By the way, what should I prepare? For example, you can eat something," Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu said: "No, we will solve it ourselves when the time comes. You don't need to worry about this matter. There are more people working in other places and we will consider these things."
