After eating, Cannon asked Zhang Chi at the door of the house.
Zhang Chi replied: "No need for now, I'll go and take a look myself. If it doesn't work, I'll find you."
Zhang Chi has not used the water-spraying thing since buying it, because when it was shipped here, Zhang Chi was still enjoying the Spring Festival in China.
The two parted at the door. Cannon naturally went to shovel cow dung, while Zhang Chi came to the hay house.
A brand new tractor is placed in the corner of the vacant hay house. It is very beautiful. The design of this advanced capitalist old American is quite eye-catching. Next to it is a large steel tank with four wheels. This is Zhang Chiding.
of sprinklers.
This thing is not fully assembled yet. The tank body does not need to be installed, but the sprinkler equipment behind the tank must be installed before it can be used.
What does this thing look like? To put it simply, it is a large tank for storing water, with a water spray rack about 30 meters wide hanging from the back. It looks quite simple. Zhang Chi feels that if he gets a batch of steel pipes back, he will
You can weld one yourself.
Of course, this kind of welding is just what he thinks. If he can do it, why bother to spend money to buy this thing.
The tank is naturally large and can hold more than ten tons of water at once, which is much more efficient than his watering can helicopter.
Now the sprinkler irrigation equipment needs to be assembled by Zhang Chi. When it is transported, it is impossible to assemble it for you, because the thirty-meter-wide thing, let alone the road at the entrance of Zhang Chi's ranch, even leads to the town.
No cement road is this wide.
How do you assemble it for you and transport it?
A huge wooden box next to the jar contained the spray equipment. Zhang Chi found a crowbar and removed the outer packaging, revealing wheels, pipes, and so on.
After finding the instruction manual from the tractor, Zhang Chi squatted at the door of the fodder warehouse and started flipping through the pages slowly.
I have gone through the contents of the book and skipped the irrelevant stuff. Now I mainly want to look at the installation steps.
This thing is not difficult. Every part is marked. After Zhang Chi went over it, he started to install it.
First, he pushed the four wheels out of the warehouse and arranged them in a straight line at the door. After deciding on the position of the big Zhi, Zhang Chi found the connectors between the four wheels, fixed the four wheels with the connectors, and then assembled them.
Stand, fix the wheels to the stand, then half of the entire installation process is over.
The location of the control equipment is very obvious. After the shelf is installed, there will be a metal box-like thing. You can put the equipment directly into it and add the fixings to fix the equipment.
After trying it, it was safe and not wobbly at all, so Zhang Chi started to install the nozzle on it.
This thing still requires some effort. After all, it is only 30 meters long. Each section of the nozzle pipe is only one or two meters long, and the small pipes are even 20 centimeters long. The whole machine is just as complicated as
It's in this place.
After all, Cannon was a little worried. After cleaning half of the cowshed, he couldn't help but drive the three-bouncer he got for him yesterday to shovel shit to the entrance of the hay barn.
"Is the installation almost complete?"
Cannon saw that the whole project seemed to be progressing smoothly, so he got off the Sanbengzi and started working with Zhang Chi.
"It's quite simple. The instructions are very detailed. If you have anything to do, you can go and I'll do it here," Zhang Chi said.
"I'm fine," Cannon said.
With Cannon joining the team, Cannon didn't even need to read the manual. He had seen so many things in the ranch that a sprinkler device was not enough for him to figure out.
The speed of assembly was greatly improved, and the water spray equipment was quickly assembled.
Zhang Chi and Cannon entered the hay barn and started the tractor to pull out the tank. Then they connected the water sprayer behind the tank and connected the control cable connector to the tractor. The entire project was completed.
Cannon was still a little worried, so he followed Zhang Chi into the cab of the tractor, and together they came to the side of the pasture creek.
Stop the tractor, pull out the water pumping pipe of the tank, and throw it directly into the river. There is an operating console in the tractor cab, which is connected to various control systems at the back. You only need to press a button to start pumping water.
Five minutes later, Cannon said to Zhang Chi: "BOSS, stop for a moment, turn off the water pump and try the sprinkler system."
After hearing this, Zhang Chi climbed onto the tractor and turned off the water pumping, turned on the sprinkler, got off the tractor and followed Cannon for a look.
There is nothing wrong with the sprinkler system. The 30-meter-wide sprinkler has an operating range of about 40 to 50 meters.
This kind of large agricultural machinery is really much more powerful than Zhang Chi's hand-controlled spraying plane.
Nothing wrong! Just keep pumping.
When Cannon saw this situation, he felt relieved, walked back to the hay storage, drove his favorite three-wheeler, and continued back to the cowshed to shovel cow shit.
After filling a jar of water, Zhang Chi climbed onto the jar, opened the top lid, poured some gourd pulp into the water, and then started working from the foot of the northernmost mountain.
The tractor bought at a high price is different. It also has a positioning system in the cab. The entire pasture area only needs a few clicks on the computer, and a rough floor plan will come out. Next, Zhang Chi only needs to drive the tractor along the path provided by the positioning system.
Just start sprinkling water on the area.
Going back and forth again and again, Zhang Chi was busy from day to night. When the sun went down, the entire pasture had been sprayed.
This efficiency is much faster than his drone. The main reason is that the large tank saves the time of the helicopter going back and forth to collect water.
At night, Zhang Chi drove the tractor into the silo, and Cannon would do the maintenance work tomorrow. As for the water sprayer and cans, they would definitely not be transported into the silo. Everyone just threw these things outside and gave them to them.
Just cover it with a layer of raincloth.
Relatively speaking, tractors are more expensive, so the treatment of tractors is to put them in the warehouse, and the remaining items are simply thrown outside.
After a busy day, Zhang Chi didn't really want to cook, so he simply cooked dumplings and took Cannon with him to eat together.
Cannon is very enthusiastic about eating dumplings, and he is very good at eating them. Cannon can make one and a half as many dumplings as Zhang Chi, which means that Zhang Chi usually makes about twenty dumplings, while Cannon makes forty.
Only then can he satisfy his stomach.
It is normal to eat a lot if you do physical work all day long.
After the dumplings were cooked and served on the table, Zhang Chi and Cannon sat facing each other to eat.
After eating too much with Zhang Chi, Cannon now eats dumplings with sesame oil and soy sauce, which have become his indispensable dumpling companions.
"BOSS, when will the house builders arrive?"
Cannon picked up a dumpling and put it on the small plate in front of him. He coated the dumpling with soy sauce and dipped it in the chili sauce piled on the plate. Then he put the dumpling into his mouth and started chewing it beautifully.
The beard around Cannon's mouth was now covered with some soy sauce or chili paste.
"There are still a few days left. Just wait for the work at hand to be finished. What's the matter? Are you tired of living in a house or a van?"
Zhang Chi is the same, but he doesn't like to grow a cowboy's beard, so Zhang Chi's sauce just hangs on the corner of his mouth.
Cannon nodded: "The place is too small, Brian can only stay in the car when he comes here."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "If you hold on for a while longer, there will only be a few days left."
"Oh, by the way, how's things going with Brian's side? Has the pasture over there been harvested?" Zhang Chi thought of another thing.
Now Brian can be regarded as Cannon's subordinate, and he doesn't have much involvement in the affairs there. It's all between Brian and Cannon.
Cannon said: "Harvesting has already started, but their pasture is relatively large, so it is probably not finished yet."
After speaking, Cannon sighed: "Their pastures are really good, and the climate conditions are much better than here."
The pasture here has just started grazing, and the pasture over there has already begun to harvest the first crop of grass. According to this progress, it will have to be harvested at least ten times a year, and the profit is much better than that of the pasture here.
"Don't be envious, we can't move the pasture there," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
In terms of climate conditions, it is estimated that the pastures in Texas are the best. It rarely snows a few times a year, and grass can grow almost everywhere. But even if he is envious, Zhang Chi cannot give up everything and go to Texas to buy a pasture now.
Zhang Chi has developed a little affection for him after living here for so many years, and he doesn't really want to move. He's not under any pressure. Once he's used to a certain life, he doesn't really want to change.
The two of them were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard a heartbreaking roar coming from outside.
"Ah~~~! Ah~~~!"
As soon as you hear it, you know that it is a raccoon barking, and there is a sharp trill in the cry. Some Chinese people also call this thing instant noodles, or little raccoon instant noodles.
Raccoons are quite common here, but the treatment is not as good as in China. Everyone thinks they are cute. These things are considered a pest here in the West. They will dig holes in your house and steal your things.
And so on, sometimes it will bite your pet, but it is not so lovable anyway.
Zhang Chi's ranch is naturally indispensable for these things, but Zhang Chi did not notice that they would appear in his house.
Zhang Chi and Cannon put down their chopsticks and walked out of the house together to see why the raccoon was barking so miserably.
After leaving the door and walking about twenty meters in the direction of the sound, the two found a raccoon being dragged toward the house by two dogs and three cats.
The raccoon might not be happy to be manipulated by the two dogs and the three dogs. It moved on the ground with its paws raised and howled at the top of its lungs. The sound was like killing a pig.
"Two dogs and three dogs still eat raccoons?"
Cannon was a little dumbfounded.
Not to mention that Cannon was dumbfounded, Zhang Chi didn't expect this either, because the raccoon's body was obviously larger than the two or three dogs, and the raccoon was quite ferocious.
The appearance of some things doesn't stop them from engaging in petty theft.
The facts in front of us are very clear now. Ergou and Sanjiu are ready to cook. Generally speaking, if anything is dragged near the house by them, it is not far from death.
It is obvious that Mr. Raccoon is aware of this situation and is now fighting for his life.
The second dog and the third dog didn't care about this. Now, the second dog bit the back of the raccoon's neck, and the third dog directly bit the raccoon's back. The couple worked together, and their strength could break... the raccoon's life.
"Why do these two guys eat everything? Don't rabbits taste good anymore?"
Zhang Chi was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand to scratch his head.
Cats eating raccoons? Who would have thought?
Cannon just sighed that whether the raccoon died or not had little to do with him.
But Zhang Chi can't stand it anymore. You guys have nothing to do with raccoons. Although raccoons are not a good thing, they haven't blown off the roof yet, have they?
And relatively speaking, Zhang Chi doesn't like rabbits in the pasture even more. It's really annoying that these bastards dig holes and damage the pasture.
