Chapter 162 Pasture

Chapter 162 Pasture

Zhang Chi could not sympathize with the cowboys' joy, because he was a rancher and was destined to be a member of the ranchers instead of standing in the same pit as the cowboys.

So after listening to it for a while, Zhang Chi felt that it was not interesting. After paying the wine bill, Zhang Chi wanted to leave.

"George, how's your horse doing?"

As soon as a cowboy entered the door, he saw Zhang Chi who was about to leave, so he made a joke.

When someone mentioned George's horse, the cowboys in the room all started to laugh.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

He himself had not cared about the thoroughbred horse he bought for quite some time. Now when people asked him, he could only say that it was okay.

Some of the laughing cowboys in the room were just joking, but some were malicious, and most were just following along.

Now the phrase "George's Horse" seems to have become a proverb in the small town of Amber, and its general meaning is whimsical and so on.

Laughing is a normal thing. When many people think you have done something completely stupid, this kind of ridicule is inevitable.

Zhang Chi, on the other hand, doesn't care. In life, isn't it just that you sometimes laugh at others, and others sometimes laugh at you? Being too serious and hurting your lungs doesn't have much effect.

What's more, for Zhang Chi, Sha Damu is just an experimental product. If it works, he will not hesitate to buy a few good thoroughbred horses and throw them into the racing field to make money for himself.

"George, when will your horse hit the track? If you have time, I would like to cheer for you." A cowboy grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.

Seeing these teeth, Zhang Chi knew that this guy was a poor guy. Generally speaking, rich Americans have a good figure, and they have standard big white teeth, like this one... Well, only those who are poor can have such things.

Mouth with big yellow teeth.

"I don't know. I'll send it to Mason's for training in a few days. If possible, go for a run. It's cheap anyway." Zhang Chi smiled and shrugged, saying that he didn't care.

"Your horse doesn't seem to be worth the handling fee for going to the track, does it?" Another cowboy also heckled.

It is not easy to get on the track. How many thoroughbred horses are produced in the United States alone every year? Getting on the track does not mean that you have a horse, there are also expenses.

This is just like when people participate in a program. Famous program groups are rushing to spend money to let you come, but if you are not famous, the program group may not necessarily want you if you spend money.

"I heard that Seabiscuit wasn't worth much when he started on the track, right?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically.

The whole room was quiet for a while, then burst into laughter.

No one thinks that George's horse can be compared with Seabiscuit, not even Zhang Chi, because in his eyes, Silly Damu is just an experiment.

You have to dare to brag about the bragging coins. We’ll have to decide whether it succeeds or not.

Ridicule? Is Zhang Chi someone who is afraid of being laughed at?

Delivering takeaways for more than ten years, the stares he received and the scolds he received have long since made Zhang Chi a social person. Face is not important. You have to brag about the good things you should brag about. Whether you realize what you don't realize is another matter.

"I wish I could see a second Seabiscuit".

“It’s impossible to tell”

Zhang Chi smiled, said nothing more, opened the door and walked out of the house, tightened his tight clothes and came to Chi Yanshan's side, untied the reins and rode up.

After returning home, he went directly to the stables and Zhang Chi put Chi Yanshan back in the stall.

Silly Damu didn’t have a compartment to stay in, nor did he put a bridle on it. This stupid horse didn’t know how to run out or anything. Now you see it standing next to the haystack and grazing. In a few hours, you will find that it

He still stood next to the haystack as he did now, without moving at all.

Looking at Silly Damu, Zhang Chi was about to step forward when he suddenly noticed that the fool's tail was raised. Zhang Chi immediately stopped.

shit!

Silly Damu almost always poops in the same place when he poops.

Waiting for Sha Damu to finish pooping, Zhang Chi picked up the ladle, poured a ladle of gourd pulp and handed it to Sha Damu.

"Do you know how to strive for success? If you run to death for me, even if you finish second to last, I will treat you as the winner. If you finish last but not least and still get pulled down, even if I don't eat horse meat,

When the time comes, I will also start eating meat...".

Looking at Silly Damu who was drinking gourd juice in big gulps, Zhang Chi said with a smile.

After finishing one scoop, Zhang Chi fed another scoop.

Then he threw the water ladle away with satisfaction and went back to the house to prepare dinner.

After dinner, I walked around and went back to the house to sleep.

Get up and continue working.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chi put his luggage on the horse in Chiyan Mountain and tied his sleeping bag to the drawstring behind the saddle.

"BOSS, have you brought everything?"

Cannon was helping Zhang Chi organize his things.

"It's all done, it only takes a few days, no problem," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Zhang Chi was a little excited to participate in the transition event for the first time. Although he was not transitioning from his own ranch, as a rancher, this trip allowed Zhang Chi to learn the critical work in old-fashioned ranch management.

Cannon was afraid that his boss would have less things to bring, so he checked them out.

There was no problem. Cannon patted the horse's back and said, "Indeed, we have brought everything we need to bring. Does BOSS want to bring Daniu and Erhu?"

Zhang Chi said: "There is no need to bring them with you for any purpose."

Cannon didn't try to persuade him much. He knew that Nell invited his boss, and he probably didn't want him to actually drive some cattle. It would be nice if he could start with him. He mainly wanted to get closer to everyone.

Zhang Chi got on his horse and said, "I'm leaving. If you need anything, send me a message."

Cannon said: "I know."

After speaking, Cannon casually patted Chiyanshan's butt to make Chiyanshan move.

After leaving the pasture, we entered the horse trail and followed the horse path to Nell's pasture.

"George, I'm just waiting for you."

Nell saw Zhang Chi arriving and stood up from the chair in the door.

In addition to Nel, there were two or three cowboys, and then there were brothers Garcia and Miller.

In front of the house, there were two or three pickup trucks and a large carriage.

Zhang Chi smiled and got off his horse: "Why are you here so early?"

Originally, I said I would arrive at five o'clock, but it's not yet five o'clock. Everyone is here, and I am the only one missing. According to Zhang Chi's estimation, he is not the first, and he shouldn't be the last.

, when did these cowboys become so punctual? They all rushed to come early.

"There's nothing big going on at home right now, so I just came over," Miller replied.

"Stop tethering the horses, take off the saddles, and drive the horses into the car. Everyone is ready to go. Let's settle dinner in the pasture."

When Nell saw that Zhang Chi was about to tie the horse to the hitching post, he immediately spoke out.

Hearing what Nell said, Zhang Chi began to unsaddle Chi Yanshan.

Nell and others began to drive their horses into the carriage.

While Zhang Chi was waiting to unload all the saddles from Chi Yanshan, these people had already herded all the horses into the carriage.

Zhang Chi led Chiyanshan to the door of the carriage and found that the carriage now only had enough space for Chiyanshan's horse.

"That's pretty good," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"It's like this every year."

As he spoke, Nell waved to Zhang Chi and motioned for him to lead Chiyanshan to the door.

Chiyanshan was very obedient and did not need anyone to push him from behind. Zhang Chi took the bridle and led Chiyanshan into the carriage. After fastening the reins on the carriage, he stepped off the carriage.

clang!

Nell and the other two closed the door of the carriage with force.

Then everyone helped Zhang Chi put everything he brought into the pickup truck.

Everyone got into the pickup trucks, and the group set out for the pasture.

Zhang Chi and Miller were in the same car. Miller was driving and Zhang Chi was sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them just had to follow the car in front of them.

"George, how is your horse?"

Zhang Chi said: "It's good, there won't be any commotion in the carriage."

Zhang Chi thought that Miller was talking about Chiyanshan, so he said that Chiyanshan was very honest and would not cause trouble in the carriage, so that Miller could rest assured.

Miller said: "Who asked you about riding a horse? I asked you whether you have confidence in the thoroughbred horse you bought? Or are you just going to play in the pasture?"

Only then did Zhang Chi realize that Miller was asking stupid questions.

"You said you were stupid."

"Of course you ask it, otherwise I ask you what the horse does. You have to be careful. Now you and your horse are almost becoming a joke."

As a friend, Miller has laughed. Although the two of them are friends, it is not normal for your stupid friend not to laugh at you. You have to laugh when you should laugh. But now he decided to persuade George to stop making trouble.

Well, if he continues to make trouble, this joke might stay with him for the rest of his life.

"Almost done? I thought I was a joke now." Zhang Chi laughed.

Miller said: "As long as you know, horse racing is not something we can play. In the past, ordinary ranchers could still gamble, but now it is impossible to achieve results if there is no spare money in their pockets."

Miller's words are mature words, and they are facts, and they are facts that everyone understands. There is no shortage of people who want to get rich overnight, and there are more people like this in the horse racing circle.

Poor people play horse racing to get rich, while rich people play horse racing for fame and fortune. Rich people have deep pockets and can buy horses everywhere, so their chances of success with horses are much higher than that of poor people.

"Just for fun, it's cheap when you buy it anyway," was all Zhang Chi could say.

Fortunately, Miller just reminded him aloud, turned around and let the matter go.

The next thing the two talked about was buying cattle. This was the first time this year that the three families had bought cattle together, so everyone had to discuss it carefully.

All the way to the pasture.

What he saw when he got out of the car shocked Zhang Chi, because the place where he lives here is just a few prefabricated houses. If you have lived in this kind of thing, you will understand. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. I am afraid that it will be hot in the house today.

Ten degrees below zero.

There are still some piles of hay around the prefabricated house. There is almost nothing left in the pile now, but judging from the marks on the ground, there are quite a few piles of hay this winter.

All the cattle were thrown outside, just like those at Zhangchi Ranch. If they wanted to eat grass, they had to dig through the snow to eat the hay under the snow.

If he had seen such a situation a year ago, Zhang Chi would have thought that it would be better to feed them on his own pasture. But now he understands, because feeding on the pasture can save about 10 to 20% of the cost compared to feeding at home.
