When he arrived at the store that sold fence materials, Zhang Chi began to pick out fences.
What this store sells is all wood, half of it is for house repairs, the other half is for ranches, and all kinds of fences are available for purchase.
The most expensive one is made of metal, just like the fence of the old Old Lion Ranch in the west. It is three to three meters high and has anti-climbing turns. The protective net is also very thick, almost as thick as a little finger.
Zhang Chi really wanted to use such a fence, but unfortunately his wallet still restricted his performance.
The wooden fence was also good, and it was much cheaper. Zhang Chi decided after looking at it for a while. In order to protect the cattle in his pasture, he made a big effort.
After selecting the materials, the shop owner took Zhang Chi directly to the unlucky warehouse and used a special forklift to load the materials Zhang Chi wanted onto the pickup truck.
A whole pickup truck was filled with materials of various sizes, and the pile in the truck bed was almost two meters higher than the edge of the bucket.
“Would you like to rent a pile driver?”
The shop owner not only wants to make money from Zhang Chi's material business, but also wants to make money from the car rental business.
Zhang Chi saw this pile driver when he first walked in. It looks like a forklift, but it has claws. When driving piles, the car is used to fix the fence, and then there is a pressure sleeve on the top of the fence to cover the top of the pile.
The pressure sleeve is very heavy and has a telescopic distance. Once the pile is erected, the pile is driven into the ground with the weight-bearing hammer in the pressure sleeve.
It has to be said that Americans have really tried their best to save expensive manpower.
"No need, I will be building a house in two days, and I will just let the construction workers install it all at that time," Zhang Chi said.
In fact, Zhang Chi was not prepared to let Lao Xu and his gang do this. They also needed money to do it. After he dragged the things back, he directly beat them with a gourd. He still didn't believe that the gourd couldn't do the job.
As for whether the gourd will be broken by beating, Zhang Chi is not worried at all. If this kind of magical object can be broken by beating, the middle finger may have been broken many times in the long history.
When I heard that Zhang Chi didn't want to rent a car, the shop owner's smile immediately became less bright. However, he wasn't rude, but he was obviously a little unhappy.
Zhang Chi didn't care about this. He got the things into the car, and as soon as the rope was tied up, he drove home.
Encountering a denim supplies store on the road, Zhang Chi remembered that he still had some things to buy, so he stopped the car and bought two nooses.
It's the lasso that cowboys use to rope their calves.
Later, I went to the supermarket to buy some food. I didn’t have enough food and drink at home, so I thought about it and bought some more on the way.
After returning to his ranch smoothly, Zhang Chi drove the pickup truck directly to the fence, untied the rope, and removed the piles, beams, reinforcement plates, etc. in sequence.
A pile was placed every five or six steps up, and when they were almost finished, they reached the end of their own fence.
Don't look at this little work, Zhang Chi was so tired that he grinned after finishing it. The work looks simple, but it is not as easy as you think.
After returning to the RV, Zhang Chi drank a glass of water and sat on a stool to rest.
As soon as he sat down, the kitten in the cage next to him began to meow.
"Oh, you little guy is not hungry again, is it? You just had dinner in the morning, why are you hungry again now?" Zhang Chi looked at the kitten for a while, then opened the cage and let the little guy out.
The little guy who had just landed was a little timid and didn't dare to move at all. He just meowed in place, and the crisp little milky sound made Zhang Chi feel better.
He picked up the goat milk powder on the table, poured it for the kitten, and brought it to the kitten's side. Zhang Chi looked down at the kitten eating. The little guy was also a big-bellied man. He had such a big pot of milk, and he was so quick to eat it.
The head was stuck in the breast.
"Don't worry, no one will compete with you!"
Zhang Chi reached out and gently touched the kitten's back twice.
The little guy is really fat, which shows that the original owner fed him a lot.
Now that the horse has a name, the cat has to think of a name too.
But who knows that Zhang Chi is an uncultured person? After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a good name. Anything with big breasts and small breasts is too vulgar.
"Look at the angry cat among you, otherwise I'll call you Ergou!"
Zhang Chi thought for a while and thought that the cross-word name was good, so he named the kitten after Ergou.
Regardless of whether the kitten agrees or not, Zhang Chi is ready to call the kitten two dogs anyway.
"Ergou, does goat milk taste good?"
Zhang Chi was quite satisfied with the name anyway, and smiled happily while stroking the two dogs.
After eating a bowl of milk, Ergou's belly was as round as a small drum, making it difficult to walk.
The two dogs did not run around. After finishing feeding, they leaned against Zhang Chi's feet and meowed twice from time to time. At the same time, they opened their big blue eyes and looked around.
Zhang Chi had already touched the notebook with his hand and looked at the information on it carefully.
I clicked on my email and found that the ranch manager I contacted last night had already responded. The general message was that there was nothing wrong with the transaction, and he would arrange shipping as soon as the money arrived.
Zhang Chi proposed to take a look at Mavericks. Within five minutes of the email being sent out, a new email arrived. After clicking on it, Zhang Chi found a short video in the attachment.
After clicking on it, there is a part of the calves inside. This part of the Gascon cattle is gray-white. It is difficult to judge how tall these cattle are now, but in general they are relatively thin.
It is also understandable that if the calf is a good calf, it will not be the turn of people like Zhang Chi to pick it up. The ranch will not be a loss-making business.
After watching the video, there was a list, which listed the number of each calf, as well as basic information such as height and weight, and photos of each calf, which seemed quite formal.
Originally, he just wanted to pick up the missing ones. How could Zhang Chi be qualified to pick and pick up the calves? Anyway, as long as the calves had no contagious diseases, Zhang Chi would accept them all.
After replying to the manager with a message agreeing to the transaction, the manager gave me an account number and sent the contract to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi took a look and thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he still asked his uncle's lawyer to take a look.
There is nothing wrong with being careful about this kind of thing.
What happened next went very smoothly. The two parties initialed the contract, and with the lawyer's certification, the transaction was initially completed.
It was agreed that within a week, these calves would be transported to Zhang Chi's pasture. As long as the calves had no serious diseases when the cattle were picked up, Zhang Chi could not refuse them.
Zhang Chi doesn't care, this condition is hardly a condition for him.
It went on like this until after two o'clock in the afternoon, and the transaction was finally completed.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Chi began to play with the drone.
The main thing is not to play with the drone, but to determine how much of the thick slurry water poured from the gourd should be mixed into the fifty liters of water.
Zhang Chi doesn't have a standard for this thing, so he can only try it slowly, but he certainly can't do it purely. If he does it purely, his pasture will probably grow into a forest of grass.
I thought that a bowl of pulp mixed with ten liters of water would be enough, but who knew that the water was spilled on the ground, and the grass still grew wildly.
After a while, the weeds that were originally up to the calves were directly up to the waist.
There was no choice but to lower the concentration. This time Zhang Chi mixed one-third of the bowl of slurry with ten liters of stream water.
Just like this, if you fall down, you can still see the wild grass growing wildly.
After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, Zhang Chi finally got the result he was satisfied with. It was about a few milliliters of slurry water, mixed with fifty liters of stream water, so that the growth of the plants would not be detected visually.
However, it is impossible to detect with eyesight. Zhang Chi doesn't know how long it will take to grow. This kind of thing can only be confirmed by time.
Unable to see it with the naked eye, Zhang Chi used a drone to start spraying near the RV.
Only after all the fifty liters of water in the water tank had been sprayed out did Zhang Chi stop.
This trivial matter took almost an entire afternoon. When the sun was about to set, Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain, took his gun, and headed for the fence at the foot of the mountain.
The visibility is not high now. Even if you want to see Zhang Chi beating the stakes in other pastures, you probably won't be able to see clearly, so Zhang Chi chose this time to work.
Carrying a pole, he came to the place where the iron rod was inserted into the fence. Zhang Chi pushed the pole outward. Why not go inward and take advantage of the government? If he went inward, his pasture area would not be smaller by a few square meters.
centimeter?
After erecting the stake, Zhang Chi held onto the stake with his hands, and then used his mind to control the gourd to hit the stake.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the force caused Zhang Chi to fall over.
When I looked up, I found that my force seemed to be a bit too strong. I originally thought that it would be enough to hammer in only about ten centimeters at a time, but I would just hammer it in a few times several times. Who knew that I almost smashed the pile into the ground at this time?
The soil entry mark originally marked on the pile was knocked in almost twenty centimeters.
When he wanted to pull it out again, Zhang Chi didn't have the ability. The gourd could smash it, but when he took it out, Zhang Chi thought about it and decided to forget it. Fortunately, it wasn't too deep to ram it in.
With this experience, I will be more careful when placing the second stake.
After the second pile was lowered, Zhang Chi came over with the beam, aligned the wedge on the beam with the opening on the pile, installed the three beams, fixed them with a thick wooden strip, and nailed them in sequence, so that a set of fences would be completed
It is installed.
After installing almost five or six groups, Zhang Chi felt that at his own speed, the installation would definitely not be completed tonight, so he decided to lower all the piles today and then install the beams and fixing plates during the day tomorrow.
Fortunately, Tie Weizi now provided Zhang Chi with a position. If he were asked to place his position again and measure the distance, he didn't know if he would have time to take a nap today.
After working until about two o'clock at night, Zhang Chi lowered all the stakes into the ground.
When I got home, I didn't have to think about anything. Even though my body stinked, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed, not even bothering to move my fingers.
