Urging his horse to trot, Old Xu passed by a small bush. The bush was not very tall and was shorter than the grown grass. Therefore, it was not that Old Xu wanted to pass by the bush, but that he and he were passing by it.
When the horse discovered it, its hooves had already fallen into the small bush.
The moment the horse's hooves landed, several pheasants came out of the bushes clucking. When they landed on the ground, they looked at Lao Xu who had run away, clucking and cursing the street.
"The pheasants on your ranch are pretty good! Why don't you get them as a tooth sacrifice at night?" Old Xu turned around and took a look at these wild pheasants in Zhangchi Ranch.
The grass in Zhangchi's pasture is good, and small insects naturally grow well. In addition to the chickens on the pasture, there are also some pheasants and the like that have made their homes in Zhangchi's pasture.
Normally, Zhang Chi has no idea about them. To be honest, if you eat game like this once or twice, you will find that the taste is not as good as you imagined.
Unless it’s just for this bite, wild poultry are rarely as tender as domestic chicken. This is easy to understand. Humans have raised animals for so many years and domesticated them from wild animals to poultry. They have long been unpalatable.
It was eliminated by history, and only the delicious food remained.
"I'm not interested. If you like it, go back and do it yourself. I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with me. I'm a good citizen who abides by the law," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
When Lao Xu heard that he only had food for himself, he was too lazy to do anything. He was also very particular about eating. As the old saying goes, a thousand cups are too little for a long time, and it's better not to speculate.
Drinking wine and eating game, without a companion, the taste is not only missing half, but more than half!
"Forget it, it's not interesting to be alone. Besides, Comrade Melika is not suitable for drinking now, and you are not suitable for drinking either. Hey, this is an advantage for these pheasants, let them live a few more days."
Lao Xu was a little disappointed. He couldn't find anyone to drink with. There were indeed a few drunkards among the workers, but they were drunk, so who would do the work on the construction site?
The two gentlemen rode their horses in a circle in the rain. When they returned to the stable, half of their bodies were wet.
I went back to the house and started preparing lunch. I took a short nap in the afternoon. When I woke up, I made myself a cup of tea. I held it in my hands and sat on the sofa on the porch while enjoying the light rain.
I can see a bit of poetry in it, but if I am uneducated, I am uneducated, so I can only murmur and praise: This light rain is a bit interesting.
If you have some education, you can at least come up with something like "Yu Yu Fei Fei", but Lao Zhang can't even finish a sentence.
The light rain didn't last long, and the sky cleared up the next day. However, Lao Xu had something to do today, and Zhang Chi was the only one who made the breeding basket.
The workers at the construction site are very busy now. They have to stay up all night to work every night and have no time to help Zhang Chi.
Okay, Zhang Chi, don't be in a hurry about this, just do it slowly.
After two days of drying, light rain began to fall in the sky again. This time it did not end in one day. It continued to rain for more than three days and four days. The creek where the water level of the Zhangchi Ranch had begun to drop became abundant again.
The progress of the construction site has not been greatly affected, because the roof that needs to be put on has almost been put up, and it is not afraid of rain. However, Zhang Chi's new house is a little troublesome, because the roof is only half-way up.
However, these troubles are not Zhang Chi's, but Lao Xu and his construction team's.
While waiting for the weather to clear again, the workers of the construction team had nothing to do but put up the roof of Zhang Chi's new house. As for the inside, once the roof was installed, everything would be easy.
Facts have proved that the construction team's prediction was correct. After the roof was installed, a day later, light rain came unexpectedly.
This time it rained lightly, but it lasted longer. It rained intermittently for four or five days. It was like the rainy season in the south of China had been brought here.
Zhang Chi was sitting at home, eating walnuts with Melika while watching the news.
The female anchor on the news kept talking about the damage caused by the rain in some places at this time.
This side of Zhang Chi is a mountainous area. To put it clearly, the altitude is relatively high and water cannot be stored here. This is not the case in the great plains outside. Almost all the rainwater in the Rocky Mountains here rushes to the nearby plains.
, causing the water levels in all the rivers and lakes to surge.
Zhang Chi didn't want to complain about the infrastructure here. Think about it, the airport was a product of the last century, not to mention the drainage facilities.
Fight floods?
It seems that Americans don't have this concept either. Their idea is to remove people, and as long as the people are safe, their own insurance companies will compensate for the remaining houses.
If someone dies or something, the officials here don't take it seriously. Even though they look serious in front of the camera, in fact... everyone knows that the tears of politicians are too wet.
.
Officials will not be affected at all by the death of people because in their minds this is a natural disaster and no one is to blame.
Fortunately, no one died this time. Several people from nearby towns who were hit by the disaster moved out of their homes and gathered in the county gymnasium to live together.
It was sunny for four or five days in a row, and everyone felt that God was finally giving up and it would no longer rain.
Who knew that God was actually holding back a more cruel move.
After four or three days of clearing, storms followed, and after the storms, tornado warnings were issued.
I have been fighting against God all day long during this little month of June.
The tornado did not affect the Zhangchi area. The small town of Amber has always been as stable as an old dog in tornadoes.
Because Amber Town is directly in the Rocky Mountains, no matter how big a tornado is here, it will have no strength to roll over several mountains. Unless God decides to roll over Amber Town,
Otherwise, the tornado would not have been able to hit the small town of Amber.
Others' losses brought good news to Zhang Chi, that is, the purchase price of raw beef has skyrocketed.
There is no beef for sale at Zhangchi Ranch. Most of the cows, calves, and bulls have not yet been decided on how many to keep as breeding males. Even if there are, there is nothing to sell among the dozens of them.
Originally, Merika's Dowry Colorado Ranch sold a group of cattle at this time and recovered over a million in money. At the same time, the pressure on the ranch was relieved.
The pressure on Zhangchi Ranch continues to be high. With more than 2,000 black cattle, the ranch is really unbearable.
The ranch already has some problems, mainly the cow dung problem. The ranch can no longer bear the cattle. If we don't come up with a solution, Zhang Chi's ranch will become a sea of cow dung in less than three months.
There are now over 2,000 cattle on the 500 acres of land, and they are very large cattle. They are only supported by Zhang Chi's large beard grass.
Zhang Chi, Melika, Cannon and Brian were standing under the gallery having a meeting.
Cannon opened his mouth and said: "We must reduce the number of cattle here by at least half and return to the original number. Otherwise, our pasture will not be able to bear it."
Brian also nodded and said at the same time: "These cows are so good at eating and pooping. The cow excrement will be almost half as much in one day as the original cows."
Zhang Chi was so capable of pulling, but he really didn't expect that there would be no problem in the gourd, but it would become a big problem in the real ranch environment.
"To reduce the number, we either need to rent a new farm or reduce the number of Colorado ranches in Gascony."
Cannon continued.
This needs to be said, but Cannon is just giving a suggestion. What they will do in the end depends on Zhang Chi and Melika.
Zhang Chi had only one idea in his mind, and that was to buy a ranch as soon as possible, or even rent one.
In this matter, the couple is actually a little anxious, but it is not easy to choose a suitable pasture. Price, location, and the fertility of the land must be taken into consideration.
Taken together, choose the best solution.
Melika is not Zhang Chi, and sometimes men can do things just about the same, but Melika is very careful and takes things very seriously.
Zhang Chi respects his wife in this regard, because he himself knows that he is really not good at this kind of business.
Zhang Chi didn't think that he was a god. With the gourd, he could do anything and be perfect at everything. He must have a bad mind if he just thought about something like this.
Zhang Chi knew who he was, so apart from expressing some opinions at the beginning, he left the rest to his wife.
Now, in the small workshop of Zhang Chi and Melika Foundation, Melika is responsible for buying, selling and purchasing, Zhang Chi is responsible for raising grass, and cowboys like Cannon are responsible for grazing.
The three points connect into a smooth line, which is very clear.
Zhang Chi heard what Cannon said, so he said: "Let's rent a ranch temporarily, otherwise we have to let Colorado sell Gascony."
Zhang Chi now feels that this new breed of cattle that he has inadvertently bred must have a bigger market than Gascon, so he would rather reduce the number of Gascon cattle in Colorado and keep the black cattle.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi glanced at Melika.
Melika didn't speak. She thought carefully and quietly, frowning slightly.
Melika didn't speak, and Zhang Chi wasn't happy either. He didn't disturb his wife's thoughts. Zhang Chi didn't speak. One of Cannon and Brian lowered his head and looked at his toes, while the other leaned against the pillar in a daze.
After two or three minutes, Merica came back to her senses.
"say what?"
"Tell me what to do with this cow," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Melika paused for almost three seconds and asked Zhang Chi: "If I say that one-third of this herd of cattle should be eliminated, do you think this idea is too crazy?"
Zhang Chi didn't understand for a moment, so he asked: "What kind of elimination? Sell one-third of the cattle to others? Then our good neighbor is the first choice."
My good neighbor Lao Liu asked Zhang Chi two or three times if he could sell the new cattle here. Although he bought the group of cattle that Lao Xu had picked up, the quality of that group of cattle was inferior to what Zhang Chi had picked up.
There is no way to compare the price of this batch.
Both male and female are physically different from each other by at least two levels.
Melika shook her head: "No, slaughter directly."
When these words were spoken, Zhang Chi and the other three people were immediately stunned.
Now the price of beef has gone up, but the price of the new breed of live black cattle is at least twice as expensive as beef. To make money from selling cattle, you have to sell meat? This business behavior is a bit nonsense.
