When we arrived at the newly purchased ranch, it was already getting dark. Zhang Chi and Melika first paid off the cowboys who helped.
After a few temporary cowboys took their wages and left the ranch.
Zhang Chi said to Cannon and others: "You go back and rest, I will be on duty tonight."
Cannon said: "Boss, I'm worth it. You've been busy for several days, and I slept lightly...".
After hearing this, Zhang Chi waved his hands and said, "Don't push me this way. I'll come tonight and you all go back and have a good bath and rest. You have to brand the cows tomorrow morning. Some of you are busy."
Let’s all go back.”
As he spoke, Zhang Chi waved his hand towards Cannon and others.
Suddenly he thought of something again and said: "I'm going to rest tonight. Eat a good meal before going to bed. Don't just think about sleeping. There are plenty of things in the refrigerator in the office. As for vegetables and other things, you can find them in my small vegetable garden."
You can just eat whatever you want.”
"Okay boss!"
A group of cowboys responded one after another, then rode their horses out of the ranch and returned to Zhangchi Ranch along the horse track.
Waiting until only Zhang Chi and Merika were left in the ranch, they chatted for a while, and Merika started to fry the steak. When the steak was ready, Merika was going to go to the living room to call Zhang Chi, but just now
When I walked out of the kitchen door, I found that my husband was already lying on the sofa, snoring loudly.
Melika knew that Zhang Chi was tired. It had been almost a week on the road. It was strange that he was not tired even though he was sleeping in the open air. However, she could not let Zhang Chi sleep like this at this moment. He had not eaten anything for almost a day and was not allowed to wake up until he was full.
Go to sleep again?
"Hey, wake up, have something to eat before going to sleep."
Melika gently pushed her husband up.
Zhang Chi opened his eyes, and Mimi Huhu sat up, waiting for Melika to bring the fried and cut steak, but Zhang Chi couldn't open his eyes again.
I was sleepy at first, but I could hold on for a while. Now after sleeping for a while, not only did I not feel any less sleepy, but I was even sleepier than before, so sleepy that I couldn't even lift my eyelids.
Melika took a fork, stabbed the beef into Zhang Chi's mouth, and fed Zhang Chi.
"You can go to bed after eating. Leave it to me to look after the cows tonight," Melika said while feeding Zhang Chi steak.
Zhang Chi shook his head instinctively: "No, I'll do it myself, you're pregnant."
Seeing her husband fascinated by the lake, caring about her pregnancy, and reluctant to let her work, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
Zhang Chi ate a few pieces of steak randomly and then lay down again.
Feeling sleepy, Zhang Chi suddenly fell asleep.
Melika put away the tableware and took Daniel and Erhu to the side of the herd.
Zhang Chi was asleep here, but subconsciously he always felt that something was lingering in his mind. He thought about it carefully in his dream, but couldn't remember what it was, so Zhang Chi began to worry. In such a hurry, Zhang Chi
Chi opened his eyes.
At this moment, most of the sleepiness has disappeared.
Zhang Chi took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was already half past two in the morning, and he had been asleep for about six and a half hours.
After getting up, Zhang Chi stood at the door of the house where Nell originally lived and looked towards the pasture.
stop!
Zhang Chi whistled, and Chiyanshan, who was eating grass and had almost recovered a little strength, heard his master's call and immediately ran over.
Zhang Chi reached out and stroked the bridge of Chi Yanshan's nose: "Old man, let's hold on a little longer and wait until daybreak, then we can have a good rest."
The law!
I don’t know if Chi Yanshan understood it, snorted, shook his head, and rubbed Zhang Chi’s shoulder affectionately.
The original saddle was on the railing in front of the house. Zhang Chi grabbed it casually and saddled it on Chiyan Mountain. Zhang Chi rode towards the cattle.
Arriving next to the cattle, Zhang Chi heard Melika's voice.
"wake up?"
Zhang Chi looked strange: "Why are you here? I didn't let you go home to rest?"
Melika smiled and said, "I didn't say that!"
Zhang Chi said this, but Melika didn't listen, and now she says it didn't happen.
It was late at night, and Zhang Chi couldn't see the weird smile on his wife's face. He thought he really didn't say anything, so he said: "Then you go home now... don't go home either, go back to the house.
Go and have a good sleep. It’s a shame that this house wasn’t demolished right away, otherwise there wouldn’t even be a place to sleep now.”
"I'll do it, you go back and sleep a little longer," Melika said.
Zhang Chi said: "Okay, you go and have a rest. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about my daughter. Be obedient."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi came to Melika's side and found that she was not riding a horse, so he dismounted first and motioned to Melika to ride his Red Flame Mountain.
Melika had no choice. She also understood that sometimes Zhang Chi was reluctant, so she rode up the Red Flame Mountain honestly, with Zhang Chi holding the horse and Melika riding on the horse, and the couple faced each other.
Walked in the direction of the house.
While walking and chatting, Melika felt sleepy after a while. After all, she was not in a normal situation, and her body did not allow her to be brave anymore.
When they arrived at the house, Melika lay directly on the sofa where Zhang Chi had slept, and covered her with the blanket that Zhang Chi had just covered.
"Go to bed and sleep. It's not comfortable to sleep on the sofa," Zhang Chi said.
Melika shook her head: "Forget it, I may not be able to sleep on the bed, so let's stay here."
After hearing this, Zhang Chi stopped persuading him. He knew his wife was weird, so he helped her pull the blanket. After waiting for Melika to breathe evenly, he left the house and carefully closed the door.
He rode up the Red Flame Mountain and returned to the cattle.
At this moment, the herd of cattle also has no energy to make a fuss. Let alone the big cattle, even the calves, many of them are lying down on the grass and sleeping.
Zhang Chi looked at the herd of cows and began to calculate his current net worth in his mind.
It's not okay, but the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, because I still owe six to seven million U.S. dollars to the bank. This loan will be paid off within five years, which is quite a pressure. Although Zhang Chi and Melika are now
There is no pressure to pay off the income within five years, but Zhang Chi doesn't like to be in debt, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks that he still owes money to others.
In other words, I feel stressed. If I don’t pay back the money, I always feel like something is weighing on my mind every day.
This kind of temperament destined Zhang Chi to have no luck in getting rich in this life if he didn't have Gourd. Which rich person doesn't owe a lot of debt to the company, and he has a high salary here, and his thick skin is wider than the city wall?
Thinking about the debt he owed and the fact that the cattle he originally planned to let out had not yet been fully let out, he found a place where most people could hardly see them, which was in the forest and started to let out the cattle.
I sprinkled about a hundred or so heads first, but I thought it was a little bit less. It would be better not to spill any wine at all, so I got out more than two hundred heads.
Then I thought again, since there are more than two hundred, then another two hundred is not a big deal.
"I still owe five to six million to the bank, and it's still in U.S. dollars. I can pay two to three hundred more, right?"
Zhang Chi found a reason for himself, so he took out more than two hundred cows.
After the cow was taken out, Zhang Chi thought of another point.
"I still have to pay taxes. It doesn't seem like it's too much to use some to subsidize the taxes!"
So Zhang Chi took out several hundred more.
Now Zhang Chi's brain is a little short-circuited. He walked in the woods for a few days and drove cattle for a few days. Although he slept for more than six hours, how could he have spent this time? Even though his nerves are normal now, in fact, sleep bugs have always been
Instead of leaving, I just wandered around the lakes and did something that I had been thinking about but had never done.
Subconsciously, he felt that he could not carry it any higher, nor could he carry it any further. Now he had already finished carrying the Amber Cow in the gourd.
If it spills out, it must be a transitional cow. This thing is now sold as a mixed cow, which is the same price as a mixed cow. Zhang Chi really doesn’t have much interest. Besides, he has almost thrown away this trip. Now in the gourd
Most of them are cows, and their appearance is different from Amber cows.
Only then did Zhang Chi give up.
We kept our eyes open until dawn. At around seven o'clock, Cannon, Brian, and the Xavier brothers arrived here, ready to brand the cowboys.
Once the small brand is stamped, this herd of cattle officially belongs to the private property of Zhangchi Ranch.
Of course, Zhang Chi still has to pay the tax.
When he was in China, Zhang Chi felt that the U.S. government was the best government in the world and always considered the people. The American people were begging the U.S. government to collect money. Only after arriving here did he realize that the U.S. government was thinking about this piece of shit every day.
There are ways to collect your money.
In the past, this kind of profit tax was the same as other taxes. You just had to file it before March of the next year. There might be a tax refund or something like that at that time, but now, this piece of shit actually has to be paid right then and there.
, if you don’t pay, they will really take away your cattle to offset the tax.
Looking at it this way, it is not greedy for Zhang Chi to get more cattle.
"Boss, boss! We're here to change shifts."
Zhang Chi heard Cannon's shout, so he got on Chi Yanshan's back and ran towards the house.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Chi asked concerned about his employees.
Cannon smiled and said, "No problem."
These guys started sleeping at eight o'clock last night and slept until more than six o'clock in the morning. Even if they did not regain their 1800 strength after more than ten hours of sleep, they should still have 80% strength, and today's work
It's not too heavy, just branding the cow.
"Okay, let's go back."
Zhang Chi no longer had the energy to be polite to Cannon and others. After leaving this place to Cannon and others, he rode his horse, while Melika drove the car, one from the main road and the other from the horse path.
Returned to the small ranch.
After returning to the ranch, Zhang Chi took a bath and then lay down on his big bed. It was so beautiful. He hugged the quilt and sniffed it a few times, and then fell asleep happily.
At this moment, Cannon, Brian, and the Xavier brothers were all a little dumbfounded when they looked at the cattle in front of them.
Cannon was a little unsure, and turned to the remaining people and asked: "Have we driven back so many cattle?"
Xavier was young after all, and his brain was not very focused, so he asked: "If we didn't rush back, could someone else rush back?"
Xavier has a bit of a bad temper. Although he works honestly, he doesn't care about these details at all, so he doesn't feel any change between the cattle and yesterday.
As soon as Xavier confirmed it, Cannon, Brian and Dominic all felt that they might have thought too much. The original herd should have been so many, and they felt that Dona must be too tired and had hallucinations.
.
Zhang Chi and Cannon were also doubtful, so the extra cattle in the herd became everyone's default belief that they had been driven back.
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Let's go to work and brand thousands of cattle. Although the calves don't have to be branded, even if it's half, it's still a big project.
So Cannon and the three of them started setting up, waiting for Zarick and Kevin to finish their work over there. When they came to this pasture, Cannon and the other four had already started branding the cattle.
The four people divided the work and cooperated. At this moment, everyone did not count the weight of the cattle, let alone the pedigree of the cattle. First, they did not have the technology, and second, there was no need.
Because after you report it here, the guys from the Ministry of Agriculture will come over and register the number of cattle breeds. Then the ranch can use their data to determine the paternal lineage relationship. This chapter has been completed!
