After arranging this matter, Zhang Chi took Da Niu Erhu and San Biaozi to the place where the cattle were grazing.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang Chi discovered that Cannon was already beside the cattle.
"Why, you think I can't do the job well and you're worried about it so you come here again?" Zhang Chi looked at Cannon and smiled.
When Cannon heard what Zhang Chi said, he grinned and said nothing, but it was equivalent to saying everything he wanted to say. Cannon was really worried that his boss would not be able to handle these beasts alone.
As an old-school cowboy, if he doesn't watch the work on the ranch, or doesn't do it himself, he always feels that it's a bit rough for others to do it.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there might be a lot of problems with my boss. I had been worried about it all morning, so I decided to come back and do it myself.
"You're looking down on me a little. I can't do this small job?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Cannon then said: "No, I'm always worried that you can't figure out the temper of the new cows. These guys look docile, but in fact they don't have very good tempers. You have to understand them...".
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, and thought to himself: I don't understand them, but they are all created by me!
This is just something you keep to yourself, but it’s not okay to say it out loud.
The secret to driving cattle is actually to control the cow well. You have to find the most majestic one in the herd. Wherever it goes, the herd will generally go.
This is pretty much the case for most herbivores, except for donkeys. It’s a miracle that these guys are not extinct because they live in their own way.
This seems to be a bit like an old saying, honest people are afraid of bad things, bad people are afraid of stupid people, and stupid people are afraid of losing their lives. Donkeys are probably the ones who are both stupid and desperate.
Don't be afraid of anyone, not even a tiger, if you encounter him, you'll be fine.
The other thing is to control the calf well. If you control the calf well, the cow will be safe. Otherwise, the calf will run around and the herd will not be able to move one meter for a long time.
Originally there was only one person, but now with two people and three dogs, the job has become much easier.
The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, drove the cattle up and headed towards the east pasture of the pasture.
The second group arrived at Xiaoqiang's herd of calves. The leader was a big cow. Zhang Chi didn't know how old it was, but Cannon said the cow was about six or seven years old.
There was always a cow in the lead, and it was a very eye-catching cow. When Zhang Chi and Cannon started shouting, the cow walked honestly in the direction pointed out.
As soon as the cow moves, the herd will naturally follow.
Cattle movement is very class-conscious. The leading cow takes the lead, followed by cows with lower status, then lower status, and then the sub-adult calves.
Xiao Qiang naturally hangs out with the sub-adult calves. It is impossible for him to get mixed up with the adult cattle, because almost no one in the entire herd wants to see him.
It's like when there's no room for one table at a meal, there's another children's table. Even if he's sitting at the children's table, Xiaoqiang is not the one taking the main seat.
"You have grown a bit stronger," Zhang Chi looked at Xiaoqiang and said to Cannon who was not far away.
Cannon said with a smile: "It hasn't made any trouble in the past few days, so there are no bulls to beat it. It eats more grass and it will naturally grow."
"Well, I have finally been honest for a few days," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
When a calf wanted to leave the group, San Biaozi immediately rushed forward and drove the calf back to the herd.
The first two groups of cows went quite smoothly, but the last group was a bit troublesome. It wasn't really a trouble, but there were a few cows in the herd that were slow-moving. I wanted them to walk, but they wanted to follow.
As if killing them, the other cows lowered their heads and gnawed on the grass, which lasted only about ten seconds.
One bite of grass from these guys can give you a heart attack. The movements of pulling grass are like slow motion, as if you are watching a butcher in slow motion eight times the speed.
"How come these guys didn't notice this before?"
Zhang Chi looked at these cows and sighed.
At this time, Cannon came to Zhang Chi's side. The cattle seemed to be crawling on the ground. The three cattle dogs were able to control the entire herd. Cannon and Zhang Chi almost had nothing to do.
"Who knows this? I used to rush in and out, so I can't tell."
Cannon has no choice. It's not that they don't move, but they are slow-tempered. What can you do? Fight? They can run fast, but is that necessary?
Generally, cowboys will not just eat a cow, except when killing the cow for meat.
"Have you bought the land?" Zhang Chi asked.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do. The work of driving the cattle was done, so Zhang Chi decided to take care of his employees' lives and family situations.
Cannon nodded: "I bought it and left the construction of the house to Mr. Xu. The house will be built in about two months."
It's so normal to find Lao Xu. Cannon still recognizes Lao Xu's craftsmanship. Moreover, Cannon has also watched the process of building the house at Zhang Chi's side. He is also familiar with some of the workers, so he can feel at ease with them.
Some.
Of course, the main reason is that the price quoted by Lao Xu is cheap, about 15% lower than the general price. Cannon's money is not blown by the wind. Of course, the cheaper the better.
"Oh, this speed is not very fast," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Cannon replied with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry. I'm living on the ranch and waiting for the house to be built before my wife and children come over. This way the price can be even lower."
Cannon's time requirements were relatively loose, so Lao Xu thought that he would take time to come and build the house. In this way, manpower would be transferred from time to time between the two construction periods, so the price was given to him at a discount.
"Is the money enough?"
Cannon nodded and said, "That's enough, that's enough."
Cannon is not planning to build a mansion, just an ordinary house. The house alone costs 70,000 to 80,000 U.S. dollars, which is enough. What’s not enough? The bonus from the boss for finding the herd twice is enough to build the house.
.
"Where's Brian? Will his house be built too?" Zhang Chi asked again.
Cannon said: "Let's build it together, he's not in a hurry."
It is normal for two families to buy land together and build houses together.
While chatting, the herd of cattle arrived at the place. Cannon looked like everything was fine, so he went to the west pasture again.
Zhang Chi returned home, put on his shoes, took off his coat, and made himself another pot of tea. This time he did not sit in the living room, but came to the large terrace, sat on a lounge chair, and drank.
Drink tea while admiring the pleasant scenery of your own ranch.
However, things are a bit troublesome now, that is, the two pastures of our own are separated by other people's pastures. For a while, there is no way to solve this problem.
My good neighbor, Mrs. Liu, is extremely rich, and Zhang Chi doesn’t care about the three melons and two dates in his pocket, so it’s a bit unrealistic to connect the two pastures.
As for exchanging land? You don’t think so, but others don’t.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi turned his face and looked east. The scenery was nice, but he was still worried. When he looked east, Zhang Chi remembered that the Australian rich man said that he wanted to exchange land for the Great Secret Realm.
Zhang Chi is waiting eagerly. Who knows, but we can't reach an agreement. They want to give less land, and Zhang Chi naturally wants to ask for more. The issue of the value of the Great Secret Realm is being tossed around. There is no news these days.
It's all gone. I guess the rich man is planning to give up on this deal.
"Let's go! Get the teapot and the kettle!"
Zhang Chi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked away like a veteran cadre.
After hearing this, Monkey Maodou immediately grabbed the purple clay pot that Zhang Chi put on the table. He picked up the kettle with his other hand and followed Zhang Chi step by step.
Back in the house, Zhang Chi prepared some food for himself and a pear for Monkey Edamame.
While we were eating, Melika came over with Xiaopa.
"Look, what did I find?"
Melika raised the thing in her hand towards Zhang Chi with excitement on her face.
"Slow down, slow down, you are the ancestor now!" Zhang Chi immediately became worried when he saw Melika running like an antelope.
After speaking, he glanced at the things in his wife's hands.
"gem?"
What Melika is holding now is a semi-transparent thing in her hand. It is not big, about the size of a fingernail, and has some faint yellow-green color.
"Well, I finally found it. This is jade stone. It's in pretty good condition. Polish it and you'll see what it should look like." Merica was very happy to find the treasure and pointed at Zhang Chi.
It's just a show off.
Zhang Chi became energized upon hearing this and thought that if his wife was so happy, then this thing must be worth a lot of money.
He was a layman and was very interested in valuable things, so he opened his mouth and asked, "How much is such a big piece worth?"
Melika said: "It's of high quality after polishing, but it won't be bad. Such a piece costs 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars."
"oh!"
When he heard that it was only thirty to forty thousand dollars, Zhang Chi felt as if he was deflated. It was just this little money! Is it worth making his wife happy?
Zhang Chi was a little doubtful that his wife, a daughter of a wealthy family, was boasting. How could she be so successful after seeing something worth thirty or forty thousand dollars!
It’s not that Melika has never seen jewelry before, it’s just that the jewelry in the past was all ready-made, and she hasn’t discovered or designed any jewelry.
Of course she is not very interested in these things either.
But it’s different now. It’s a rough gemstone, and it’s a rough gem that she knocked open herself. For Melika, it’s not just the reason for the gemstone, but the sweat she put in, and now she’s reaping the rewards.
This kind of joy cannot be bought by thirty or forty thousand dollars for Melika.
Thirty or forty thousand US dollars is not a small amount for ordinary people, but Zhang Chi has been dealing with hundreds of thousands or millions these days. For a moment, he was so excited that he didn't care about these thirty or forty thousand dollars.
"Why, do you think it's cheap?" Melika glanced at Zhang Chi's expression and said.
"Anyway, you are really awesome. You have discovered a gem just now. If you knock it a few more times, maybe you can even pay back the debt we owe...".
A daughter-in-law's good mood is very important to the fetus, so Zhang Chi's method of praising others is a waste of time. His wife also discovered the 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, so naturally she has to praise her well.
Melika was so complimented that she smiled happily. Playing with the stone in one hand, she said to Zhang Chi: "This is a rough stone worth thirty to forty thousand yuan. It has really arrived in the hands of the buyer. The price has increased several times. This thing doesn't cost more than one hundred thousand yuan."
Don’t even think about taking it down.”
Zhang Chi felt a little better after hearing that it was more than 100,000.
Well, vulgar people, what’s wrong with vulgarity! This chapter has been completed!
