After dinner, the two of them went to work on the fruit trees again, while Zhang Chi went to take a look at his own cows. These guys were eating well and had no illnesses. They were quite happy.
The uncle and his wife stayed with Zhang Chi for almost three days. They repaired all the fruit trees that bore fruit and those that did not before returning home.
The life of Zhang Chi and his wife is now much more ordinary. They are active in the ranch every day and usually do not leave the ranch.
Ten days later, Silly Big Wood ushered in its third game. As expected, Silly Big Wood won another one. So far, it has won three games in a row. At a distance of more than two thousand meters, Sha Big Mu at least won
Among the two-year-old horses, he showed dominance.
Another week later, the Great Secret Realm also ushered in its third race, a 1,200-meter grass race. The performance of the Great Secret Realm was like an adult beating a child, and no horses could even keep up with it.
Zhang Chi and Melika still did not show up at the track and chose to watch the broadcast of the game at home. Originally, this game should have caused some repercussions in the town.
However, at this moment, everyone is focused on making a fortune. No one even cares about the town's birthday. Who will care about how much money Zhang Chi's horse made for him.
What everyone is most concerned about now is whether they can find the herd of cattle and whether they can make a fortune.
Zhang Chi has been preparing these days. What are he preparing for? July is coming soon. July and August are the best seasons of the year here. The temperature is around 20 degrees every day, which is really very comfortable.
In July this year, Zhang Chi's family, grandparents, parents, sister and nephew will all come to the ranch to spend some time.
It was the first time for several of them to come to the United States, and they still had a little trouble. They encountered a little difficulty when applying for visas. In the end, it was Melika who took action and issued some certificates, and finally the matter was settled.
Now the procedures have been completed, but I can't come because my nephew hasn't had a holiday yet. Although Zhang Chi hopes that everyone can come early, my sister thinks that academic work is the most important, so she must wait until the little one has finished his exam and after the holiday.
Only then can I come over.
However, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged at this moment, including his parents. After they land, Zhang Chi has taken enough regional small planes, and his grandparents are really old, so after they land in San Francisco, Zhang Chi plans to rent a large RV.
Go pick them up.
I took a look at the scenery along the way and then came over easily.
Everything was done, and Zhang Chi was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of his family. Melika's body had changed a little, not for the worse, but for the better. It seemed to be a short-term pregnancy reaction.
Time has passed and now I eat everything and sleep a little less, but this is quite normal for pregnant women.
She was suddenly back to before she was pregnant, which made Melika feel full of energy again.
Early that morning, Zhang Chi went out to do shopping, mainly at three places, one was the Chinese supermarket here, the other was Aunt Phil's house, and the third was his uncle's house.
Today, the uncle's restaurant reopened, and Zhang Chi brought Melika over for a walk. In the past, Zhang Chi had to come to help with such things, but now that Lu Guangming is here, Zhang Chi can use up all his strength.
Not going out anymore.
After sneaking around for a while and buying all the things they wanted to buy at home, Zhang Chi and Melika went to their uncle's restaurant.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the new restaurant was really...well, a bit Chinese.
If nothing else, the two silly giant pandas above the door are quite Chinese.
The parking lot at the entrance is naturally unchanged, but a large billboard is placed on the roadside near the parking lot. The name of the restaurant is written on the sign in Chinese and English. Of course, the image of two pandas is also
on top.
The door, which was originally quite ordinary, now has cornices, the windows have been replaced with Chinese-style window patterns, and there are two strings of fake firecrackers hanging on both sides of the door.
With this thing in place, the dismounting stone at the door would naturally have to be arranged.
Looking at it, Melika said to Zhang Chi while unbuckling her seatbelt: "Uncle, why does this new restaurant look like it's celebrating the New Year? It seems like it's going to fool the beautiful lady again, right?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "You are the old beauty."
Melika said: "I am no longer a serious silly old beauty."
The couple opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as Zhang Chi's car stopped, Gu Ying and Zhang Youliang saw their nephew and his wife coming over. When they got out of the car, the old couple was already standing at the door, waving to them.
"Uncle, aunt, business is booming."
Merika rushed to the two of them and cupped her hands, and she did it in a decent manner.
"This child is really good at talking. Come inside quickly." Gu Ying pulled Melika into the house and threw Zhang Chi and Zhang Youliang's uncle and nephew at the door.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chi hummed and followed his uncle into the house.
After entering the house, Zhang Chi found that there were not many changes inside, except that there was a entrance hall when entering. In the center of the entrance hall was a circular wall, and he didn't know whether it was painted or engraved on the wall.
This painting depicts flowers and birds in meticulous style, with two magpies standing on a branch, one turning his head and the other spreading his wings to fly.
As far as Zhang Chi's level of appreciation is concerned, this thing is quite well done, and the meaning is particularly good.
"This good-looking!"
Zhang Chi pointed at the painting.
Zhang Youliang said with a smile: "Your brother asked a painting friend in China to help him get it. He said it didn't cost much, but who knows, these days it's the easiest thing to do with money..."
As he spoke, Zhang Youliang led Zhang Chi through the entrance hall and into the restaurant.
There are really not many changes in the restaurant. The seats are still the same as before, but now they are covered with a layer of leather. The top was originally a chandelier, but now it has been replaced with a small palace lantern shape.
The whole style is Chinese-style, but not cumbersome, and the space feels spacious and bright, which is really good.
"There's nothing much to see outside. Come and take a look at the kitchen inside. Guangming has put in a lot of effort this time." Zhang Youliang pulled his nephew inside.
Zhang Chi followed up and took a look and found that the back kitchen was almost half the size of the original. Now the back kitchen was spacious and bright, and it was not as crowded as before.
"Well, this is really good."
Now these kitchen utensils are arranged very neatly, and all of them are made of bright stainless steel. Every pot and pan is shiny and looks quite stylish.
"Have they all been replaced with new ones?"
Zhang Youliang nodded: "Well, they have all been replaced. These small woks and the like are all bought. These Chinese woks are all made in China...".
Zhang Youliang is obviously very satisfied with the current working environment. When introducing it to his nephew, his voice was obviously an octave higher.
"Didn't Brother Dawen and Brother Xiaowu say they were coming back today?" Zhang Chi asked the uncle after visiting the kitchen.
Zhang Youliang said: "Brother Xiao Wu is back, but Brother Dawen can't come. Something suddenly happened today, so he can't come back. I just made a video call to talk about this, and your brother Xiao Wu is finally back."
At this point, he looked at his watch and continued: "Look, it's almost time. I'll go pick him up."
"No, just stay still and I'll do the work," Zhang Chi said immediately with a smile.
Zhang Youliang was not polite to his nephew and said, "Be careful when you drive."
"I see".
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi wanted to talk to Melika.
When they got outside, Zhang Chi didn't find Melika.
Gu Ying pointed outside the house and said to his nephew: "Xiaomei went outside to make a phone call."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Then I'll pick up Brother Xiao Wu."
Seeing his mother-in-law waving to him, Zhang Chi walked outside. As soon as he went out, he saw Melika putting her cell phone in her pocket.
"What are you doing?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm going to pick up Brother Xiao Wu, he will be back soon."
"Are you in a hurry?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi replied: "It's not urgent. What's the matter? If you can come back and talk to me, that's fine."
Melika said: "It's not troublesome, it's just a matter of a few words."
Zhang Chi hummed and waited for his wife's next words.
Melika said: "Someone wants to buy the Great Secret."
"What the hell is this? There are so many people who want to buy the Great Secret Realm. If I don't talk about others, let's just say that our good neighbors are almost blind."
Zhang Chi felt better when he mentioned that his good neighbor, Old Liu, was embarrassed by this matter.
"This time the conditions are very special." Merica was a bit pushy.
Zhang Chi smiled when he saw it and said: "Oh, now we have to listen to it, what kind of special method is it?"
"The buyer wants to trade the ranch with us," said Melika.
Zhang Chi didn't have a big reaction and said: "Go on, what kind of pasture and how big the area is. It won't work if it's small. The price of the Great Secret Realm will only get higher and higher."
"Do you know Pux Ranch?"
"The Pux Ranch next to Serior's house?"
Zhang Chi perked up upon hearing this.
This ranch is not small, with more than 9,000 acres. The terrain is very flat and the grass grows very well. The most important thing is that the ranch has several springs and rivers. Even in winter, when covered with heavy snow,
This little river keeps flowing.
"Exchange this ranch for the Great Secret Realm?"
Zhang Chi rubbed his hands subconsciously.
Melika smiled and said: "You are so beautiful! They agreed to give over a thousand acres of the ranch close to us in exchange for the Great Secret Realm."
"More than a thousand acres?"
Zhang Chi was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Chi knew which piece of land he wanted to trade with. The more than a thousand acres must be the piece of land in the canyon that was in contact with the Serriol family.
This time Zhang Chi was a little hesitant.
He naturally wants more than a thousand acres of pasture, but changing to the Great Secret Realm now is actually not a good business. In the eyes of outsiders, this business may be considered quite good, but Zhang Chi knows that as long as there are no accidents in the Great Secret Realm,
, the market price of this land cannot be compared with the future value of the Great Secret Realm.
As long as he can win one of the Triple Crowns next year, the value of the Great Secret Realm can be exchanged for this piece of pasture. If the breeding results are good in the future, the Great Secret Realm will be equivalent to a horse-shaped money printing machine.
The current one thousand acres of pasture is only four to five million at most. How can it be matched with a large secret realm? There is a big difference.
