After getting into the car, Ma Ge showed Zhang Chi the way, and they drove for five or six minutes before arriving at the ranch where Ma Ge raised animals.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought that his own pasture was sloppy, but he didn't expect that Brother Ma's pasture was even more careless than his own. The main reason was that the grass in Brother Ma's pasture was not comparable to Zhang Chi's pasture.
For example, the grass growing in most places here is short weeds, which are still sparse, and there is no clear patch of grass.
Everything he raises is kept in a pen and fed with purchased fodder.
"It costs a lot of money just to buy fodder every year, right?"
Zhang Chi thinks this place is called a ranch? It’s worse than his own place.
But Xiaoma Ge said with a smile: "I don't make money from this. In fact, I just want a place to raise animals and so on. It's not really a ranch. Friends come and play with their children here, which is usually the case.
warehouse".
This place is indeed not suitable for a pasture. The main reason is the lack of water. In the past, if you wanted to use this place, you had to collect rainwater. Now there is a professional water storage tank on the hillside of the pasture to collect rainwater. But after Brother Ma came,
, spent money to collect water from the ground, and the rainwater collection device was abandoned.
"Take your pick, these are all newborn lambs." Brother Ma took Zhang Chi to the fence where the sheep were kept.
The fence is not small, almost 400 to 500 square meters, and there are about 20 to 30 adult goats and 20 lambs in it.
"You raise so many sheep? Are the sheep easy to sell now?" Zhang Chi asked.
Brother Xiao Ma said: "These sheep are not for sale. They are all eaten by my family and my friends. If we talk about selling sheep, what can I do with just a few numbers? It is not worth the shipping fee. And these sheep
But they are all our own breeds of sheep, which taste better than the mutton sheep here. I feed them all grass, and there is no fattening stuff at all. They taste no bad smell. My friends also like to bring them with me when they have time.
Come and eat."
Hearing that this sheep is delicious and that it is a domestic breed, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think about it. Zhang Chi knew that domestic pigs are delicious. No matter how American pigs are, their meat is not as delicious as the native Chinese pig breeds, but
He didn't know that sheep were like this too.
"How about you sell me a few more? I'll raise them myself for meat," Zhang Chi said.
"Okay, how many do you want? If you want four or five, I won't charge you any money. Anyway, whatever machinery you want to use in your ranch in the future, as long as you think about what I have here, you'll be fine," Xiao Ma said with a smile.
"Ten, ten is enough," Zhang Chi said.
"Then I'll charge you for six," Brother Ma said cheerfully.
The next step was to pick the lambs. Zhang Chi was incapable of catching sheep, so he stretched out his fingers and Xiao Ma was responsible for catching them. After a while, ten little lambs were caught in the car.
"Let's stay and have lunch. It's getting late today. Let's make it simple and fry some lamb chops. I just killed the sheep here yesterday." Brother Ma saw that it was almost time, so he greeted the guests.
.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "No need, let's do it next time. I still have a lot of things waiting for me at the ranch."
"That's okay, I won't keep you here anymore." Upon hearing this, Brother Ma stopped being polite to Zhang Chi.
After driving out of Brother Xiao Ma's pasture, when he reached the roadside and saw no one nearby, Zhang Chi directly connected the drone with a few lambs and put them all into the gourd's space.
After returning the car near the airport, Zhang Chi entered the airport carrying a small bag.
The journey was smooth. We got off the plane and arrived at my uncle's house first.
As soon as she entered the door, her mother-in-law looked behind Zhang Chi and asked, "Why, Xiao Wu didn't come back with you?"
Zhang Chi said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Xiao Wu said that he had something to do over there and didn't come back with me."
"What can he do there?" asked the aunt in confusion.
Zhang Youliang said at this time: "There's no need to ask. He must think that his eldest brother's place is comfortable and he won't come back for the time being. Maybe Dawen will give him money."
"This child..." Auntie didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhang Chi didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, because he didn't know what Brother Xiao Wu was going to do. Buy a song or something. Even if he really wanted to buy it, it wouldn't take such a long time.
"Mother, uncle, I'll go back first." Zhang Chi prepared to retreat.
The uncle suddenly stopped Zhang Chi: "Wait a minute, we will get you a cat. There will definitely be rats where you live. It would be better to have a cat at home."
After hearing this, the aunt immediately smiled and said: "I forgot about this, I will get it for you."
Zhang Chi was a little confused after hearing this: "Uncle, do I have a cat now? The house hasn't been built yet."
"Maybe it won't be there until the house is built. What we want for you is not the cat here. How can the cat here catch mice? What we want for you is a raccoon cat. We Chinese cats are very good at catching mice.
…”.
Our ordinary domestic civet cats are not ordinary here. After being certified by some association here, the good ones in good condition can cost over RMB 10,000, and the ones in bad condition can cost hundreds of dollars. They are really not cheap.
While talking, my mother-in-law got up and went into the house. When she came back, she had a cage in her hands. There was a kitten in the cage. It was indeed a civet cat. It was only about two months old. The little guy was meowing in the cage.
sound.
"I'll put it in the car for you. This kitten isn't big yet, but it's easy to raise and rarely gets sick. Your uncle and I also prepared goat milk powder for you. Just feed it when the time comes, and wait until it gets older.
At one point, the kitten will be ready to feed in a week or two. From now on, it can eat whatever you want..."
The mother-in-law babbled and put the cage on Zhang Chi's car outside.
"How is your Brother Dawen?" After coming back, my mother-in-law asked about Brother Zhangwen.
Zhang Chi said: "Brother Da Wen's life is very good now. By the way, mother-in-law and uncle, you might as well move over and live with Brother Da Wen."
"Forget it, no matter how nice his house is, we won't be able to move anymore," Zhang Youliang said, "It's still more comfortable to live in your own home."
The aunt also smiled and said: "I'm used to suffering, so I won't be able to enjoy his blessings. Besides, we are in good health and it's not time to enjoy the blessings of our son."
It is obvious that the couple are only proud of their eldest son and have no intention of giving up their current lives and living a good life with their eldest son.
People of the older generation are like this. As long as they can do it themselves, they will not think about taking refuge with their sons for fear of causing trouble to them.
"Uncle, I'm going back, there are still cows in the pasture at home," Zhang Chi said.
"Okay, please be careful on the road." My mother-in-law and uncle escorted Zhang Chi to the door. They stood at the door and looked at Zhang Chi who got into the car and kept telling him to be careful on the road.
Zhang Chi agreed one by one, and then drove back home.
The closer it is to his family's ranch, the better Zhang Chi's mood becomes. Although his eldest brother's home is luxurious and comfortable, but as the old saying goes, a good gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse. No matter how nice the house over there is, it belongs to his eldest brother and his own.
No matter how bad the pasture is, it is still your home, right?
After happily entering the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi immediately felt that something was wrong, because Chi Yanshan stayed at the gate of the ranch, resting his head on the railing at the gate, and screamed at his car.
"Why are you here?"
Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, Chi Yanshan snorted, and Herod rushed to Zhang Chi's car and kept pushing Zhang Chi's hand out of the window with his horse's head.
Zhang Chi thought that Chi Yanshan missed him, so he said with a smile: "I have only been away for a few days, and you already miss me. We two brothers are really like what the old Mason said, we are destined."
He drove the car and continued walking in, but when he came out of the forest, Zhang Chi saw the cows and immediately stopped laughing.
Because he saw six bloody paw prints on the butt of a calf, which were about twenty centimeters long. The bloody flesh turned outwards, which looked very conspicuous.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhang Chi quickly got out of the car and wanted to walk towards the calf, but as soon as the calf saw Zhang Chi, he immediately shrank back into the woods.
Zhang Chi stopped, and the herd of calves also stopped. He frowned and counted, and Zhang Chi found that there were only nineteen calves left out of twenty.
Where did the other end go?
At this moment, Zhang Chi had a bad premonition in his heart.
After standing not far from the cattle and looking at them with a cold face for a while, Zhang Chi got into the car and drove to the side of the RV, where he discovered that the stools and tables that had been arranged well were overturned to the ground.
After setting up the stool and table, Zhang Chi decided to go take a look, so he called Chiyanshan and prepared to saddle up the horse and look for the lost calf in the pasture.
Just as I was about to get the saddle, I remembered that I had come back with something, so I silently recited the word "chu" to the gourd.
The drones and goats that were put in were dumped out.
Looking at the goats, Zhang Chi was a little confused, because what he put in were ten lambs, but what came out at this moment were ten and a half-sized lambs, which were almost twice as big as before and were already close to adult sheep.
.
"What the hell does it have this effect?"
Zhang Chi was a little surprised. Until now, he didn't know that animals could grow if they were put in. If he thought about it this way, if he put the cows in the gourd, wouldn't it mean that there would be a group of cows in one day?
However, this matter can only be thought about. Zhang Chi feels that if he plays like this, it won't be long before the nearby ranchers will definitely focus their attention on him. Let alone the ranchers, they may be able to point him out.
Some guys were recruited and sliced into pieces for study.
BAA Baa baa!
The goats that came out of the gourd seemed a little unhappy. After seeing their surroundings, they started bleating without fear of Zhang Chi.
"What the hell, An Sheng is eating your grass. I'm going to see what is so bold and dares to enter my pasture and eat my calves," Zhang Chi said.
After saying that, Zhang Chi put a saddle on Chi Yanshan's back, got on the horse and started to spin around the pasture.
Not long after, Zhang Chi found several vultures circling in the sky near the mountain in the north.
Hold!
He had no experience in ranch life, but Zhang Chi had seen the animal world and knew that there must be food under the place where the vultures flew, so Zhang Chi urged Chiyan Mountain to run there.
Far away, Zhang Chi saw a puma eating meat. Lying on the ground was his lost calf.
The calf was now dead. When Zhang Chi arrived nearby, the calf's belly had been chewed flat, and the bones of the last two legs were exposed.
Seeing Zhang Chi galloping towards him on horseback, the puma raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chi, then instantly turned around and ran towards the mountain.
By the time Zhang Chi came to the calf's carcass, the puma had already run away and disappeared. Obviously, with the same four legs, Chiyan Mountain could not run as fast as the puma.
This made Zhang Chi, who was about to sacrifice the gourd, a little disappointed: I didn't kill you!
