Melika looked at Zhang Youliang and scratched it, and she almost knew where the ranch was. However, she was not familiar with the surrounding geographical location, so she looked at Zhang Chi and asked.
"Is it far from our current ranch?"
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said: "The straight-line distance is not far. But if you really want to go there, it's quite a distance."
This is considered a mountainous area.
As the old saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse. The straight-line distance between our ranch and this ranch is only twelve or three miles. However, the twelve or three miles here cannot be reached by just stepping on the accelerator. It almost has to be reached from Folsom.
It's a detour here, don't even think about it if you drive for less than thirty or forty minutes to an hour.
After hearing this, Li Qiao asked curiously: "Do you want to buy a ranch?"
Melika said: "I want to ask, if the price is right, of course I would like to buy it."
When Zhang Chi saw Melika look at him after she finished speaking, he also nodded. His interest in land was not as high as that of Melika.
One of the couple simply loves the land, and the other knows that the more land they have, the more cattle and sheep they can raise, and the more money they make, which gives her a sense of accomplishment.
After hearing this, Li Qiao said: "Maybe you two will be disappointed, the asking price of this ranch is not low."
"How much?" Aunt Phil asked.
Now the interest of the whole table was drawn to the pasture.
Li Qiao raised his hand, pinched three fingers together, and made a sign of seven.
Everyone understands what this means. Seven thousand per acre is easy to guess. It certainly cannot be seven hundred or seventy thousand per acre. The market price is between five thousand and seven or eight thousand. The price of the ranch
There are many factors that determine the price, but they are nothing more than geographical location, water source conditions, and irrigation facilities in the pasture.
"Seven thousand? This price is too high." Phil immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
Phil's mental estimate of the Dolson Ranch was around five thousand dollars. Now it suddenly jumped to two thousand dollars, which was so much higher than his expected price. It would be strange if Phil shook his head.
"Why are people talking so much these days? It would be strange if they sold out seven thousand." Aunt Phil also agreed with her husband's statement.
Li Qiao smiled and said: "Let them go with the price they set for their land."
Li Qiao didn't think anyone would ask about the price of 7,000. Who doesn't know the approximate price of the ranch here? With the current conditions of the Dolson Ranch, let alone 7,000, I would probably sell it for 5,500.
It's a bit difficult. Because no one's money comes from strong winds, and this is not the only ranch for sale nearby.
You must know that this ranch is also a mountain ranch, and the price on the market is not so high. To be honest, if you have this kind of money, it is better to buy a ranch in the Great Plains.
"Why is it suddenly being sold? I've never heard of this before," Zhang Youliang said.
Zhang Youliang's restaurant is one of the information transmission places in the town. Whenever there is a wind blowing on the grass, these guests will bring the news. Therefore, Zhang Youliang cannot tell everything about Folsom, but there are few
There are important things that can be hidden from him.
Li Qiao got a piece of pork ribs, put down his chopsticks, pinched the two ends with his fingers, and replied while chewing: "I don't know about this. If I hadn't heard my colleagues tell me this morning, I wouldn't have known where this ranch is."
"What's so strange about selling land is that the price is too outrageous. Why don't you grab it for 7,000?" Gu Ying said.
"If you sell at a shouting price, you can buy at a bargaining price. Isn't this the case for everything sold?" Aunt Phil said cheerfully.
Aunt Phil had no interest in the ranch, and she didn't even have much interest in the farm, let alone the ranch.
She is very satisfied with her current life. She has work to do every day, earns money, and everything goes smoothly at home. In any case, for Aunt Phil, life here is better than her previous farming life in her hometown.
Life is happy, the elders are in good health, and the husband is relieved. The children are a little noisy now, but there are no children who are not noisy.
"There is no bargaining like this. Do you think we are in China?" Gu Ying smiled and shook her head.
The average American is not very good at bargaining, and even if they do, they can't get much. According to the habits of ordinary Americans, such a high price can be as high as three to five hundred at most, but even if it is less than three hundred
Five hundred, which is much higher than the normal market price.
Everyone chatted about the ranch for a while. Just as they finished talking, Li Qiao brought the topic to Lu Guangming.
"Guang Ming, do you have a girlfriend?" Li Qiao asked casually.
Before Lu Guangming could speak, Gu Ying took over: "Do you have someone suitable for you? Guangming is a very diligent kid. A girl can't bear any trouble following him."
Zhang Chi was about to say that you guys are really boring, but Li Qiao opened his mouth and said: "Don't mention it, I actually have a girl here who just came from China at the age of twenty-two...".
Zhang Chi was a little confused now, wondering why Li Qiao had started a marriage agency business.
"I just came from China, what kind of signature did I get?" Gu Ying suddenly became energetic.
Not only Gu Ying, but also Aunt Fei stretched out her ears and looked at Li Qiao with interest. When Lu Guangming, the person involved in the matter, was left aside, his ears to his neck were all red.
Like fermented bean curd.
Zhang Chi didn't care much about this matter, and neither did Phil and Zhang Youliang. The four of them kept silent and started drinking, but they could hear Li Qiao and the others mumbling in their ears.
After a while, Phil asked Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, how is your horse?"
"What horse?" Zhang Chi didn't turn around for a moment.
"Horse racing," Phil said.
Zhang Chi said: "It's okay."
"When is the game?"
Zhang Chi said: "There is a race this Sunday, and I have two horses on the track."
"Two horses?" Phil didn't quite understand.
Phil knew that Zhang Chi had a horse called Silly Damu, but he really didn't know that Zhang Chi had bought another horse, so he asked: "You bought two horses?"
Seeing Zhang Chi nodded, Phil smiled and said: "Young people today are really amazing. They dare to think and do what they do. They are much braver than when we were young."
As he spoke, Phil picked up the cup in front of him and touched one with Zhang Youliang.
Although he doesn't speak Chinese well, the Chinese people still have a certain sense of style. Phil still knows a bit about clinking glasses, and why a glass cannot be higher than others.
Zhang Youliang certainly knew about it, but he had never cared much about it before. As mentioned above, he was opposed to horse racing, but now that his nephew is playing with it, he also understands it. Although he still doesn't have a big liking for it, fortunately,
I don’t think horse racing is just gambling like I used to.
Of course, buying horse racing tickets is still a gamble in his heart, and horse owners like Zhang Chi are finally accepted by him.
"Running away this Sunday?" Zhang Youliang put down the wine cup and asked his nephew.
Zhang Chi nodded: "This Saturday, there will be one race for each of the two horses. One is the last race in the morning, and the other is the third to last race in the afternoon."
The last time Silly Damu won was a joy, but this was only a junior competition. If you really want to have any impact, it was still far away. In such a competition, even if you broke the venue record, but when it comes to California, others will
They don't even recognize it.
Places with strong horse racing are naturally arrogant towards places with weak horse racing, just like economically developed places don't look down on underdeveloped places.
The same is true on the racecourse. There are many wealthy people in other racecourses. How can you care about your champion in a small country venue and your record is broken? People here may be very happy, but if you put it in other places, other newspapers
I'm too lazy to write.
There is no way, I am very confident.
"Do you have confidence?" Zhang Youliang asked.
Zhang Chi was so embarrassed when asked this question: "I have confidence, but I don't know how it will be during the competition. Things on the field are constantly changing, so it's hard to say what the result will be."
If there was only the uncle, Zhang Chi would definitely pat his chest and say that his own horse is fine, so uncle, just follow suit. But now there are not only Phil, Li Qiao, but also Lu Guangming at the table, so you can't say that.
, because it seems that you are a little too crazy. Why are you so arrogant?
"Are you going to the game this week?" Phil asked.
Zhang Chi shook his head: "No, the house in the ranch here is being renovated, and the construction team will come in during the game, so we don't have time to watch the game."
"If you win this game, you can almost participate in next year's Triple Crown, right?" Phil asked.
Zhang Chi nodded: "It depends on luck. If you win the championship, that's fine. If you get another ranking, you have to run again."
According to Mason's arrangement, after winning this game, he can directly get a place in next year's crucial Triple Crown for three-year-old horses.
Mason wants to win, because after winning this game, there will be no pressure in future games. As for the Great Secret Realm, it has to win a preliminary game first.
At the next dinner table, Zhang Chi, Zhang Youliang and Phil were chatting about horse racing, while Gu Ying, Aunt Phil and Li Qiao were talking about what Lu Guangming said about his wife. Everyone should not interfere with each other. You can talk about yours.
Ma, let’s talk about our marriage.
The meal lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
After a meal, Zhang Youliang can't do anything now. He is very drunk. Phil is not much worse. He is leaning on the back of the chair with his head tilted back and snoring.
The remaining drunk drinker was Lu Guangming. This boy was a bit shy. When people told him to talk about his wife, he was embarrassed and didn't talk much. When he heard people teasing him, he would drink a small cup.
So he drank more and more, and ended up like this, lying motionless on the table, with his two ears exposed except his arms as red as red cloth.
The rest of the people arrived, Zhang Chi didn't drink much, and Melika had no problem driving. As for her aunt Gu Ying and Aunt Feil, it was even better.
It’s not that they didn’t drink. Not only did they drink, but they drank a lot. The main reason is that the fighting power of the two lesbians is too strong.
There are no more updates today. I can’t help it. I’m so sleepy that I can’t even open my eyes after taking some medicine! Get up, get up...!
