American professors teach American students. This matter is not under the control of Zhang Chi. At most, he just watches it for fun and makes some comments in his heart.
The current conditions of the ranch were as they were, and Haydn and others had nothing to choose from. After watching for almost half an hour, these people left.
Zhang Chi took them back to the ranch along the horse track, sent them into the car, and left his home.
Most people in the United States don't have such a thing about eating. Unlike us Chinese, eating is a big deal, and the rules around eating are even more complicated. Most people really can't figure it out clearly, but here in the United States
There are not so many rules, and Zhang Chi particularly likes this one.
After Haydn and his party left, Zhang Chi had to cook next, so he finished the meal and the couple finished eating. Zhang Chi washed the dishes and chopsticks, and he and Melika were busy with their own work.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chi's cell phone rang.
The call was from Lao Xu.
As soon as the call came through, Lao Xu on the other end said: "Why are you still staying at home?"
"What time is it? Where would I be if I wasn't at home?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
Lao Xu said again: "Come here and prepare it. You can't just come here and eat ready-made food. You are too ungrateful."
"I'm not a guest, so why do I want the guest to work? Then what kind of guest did you invite?" Zhang Chi joked with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking and come here to slaughter the sheep. I'm short of a sheep slaughterer here," Lao Xu said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi said: "You bought a sheep? What kind of sheep do you want to buy? I have sheep in my pasture. What kind of sheep did you buy? Just ask me to carry one over."
"It was given by someone else. Do you think I would let you go if I didn't have it? Oh, there's one more thing. This is the most important thing. Is the wine I made for you last time ready? If so, put some bottles over here.
Everyone, try it," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi heard this and asked again: "Where is the bottle you brewed?"
"I left it at home. I was thinking about it when I came out, but I forgot about it. Don't be stingy and bring a bottle. You don't need more. It's about two pounds," said Lao Xu.
Zhang Chi is not stingy. If Lao Xu hadn't mentioned it now, Zhang Chi would have almost forgotten all about it. When Lao Xu mentioned it, he remembered that he still had wine to soak in.
"Okay! Then I'll bring one or two bottles. But you said your wine is good for medicinal purposes. Now, if you invite a bunch of your friends to drink it, what will you do after drinking it? Isn't it torture without a wife by your side?" Zhang
Chi said jokingly.
Lao Xu said: "It's a different matter, just don't forget it."
Zhang Chi said: "I can't forget it!"
"Okay, come here quickly, I'm waiting for you to slaughter the sheep," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi said yes, and Lao Xu hung up the phone.
Zhang Chi put the phone back in his pocket and went home to talk to Melika. Melika didn't have any objections. As for what she would eat for dinner, that was even simpler. She had everything at home, even if she didn't want to do anything.
, you only need to take out the contents of the refrigerator, microwave them once defrosted, and then you can eat them.
"I don't know when I will come back, so don't wait for me," Zhang Chi said to Melika.
Melika hummed and continued to flip through the book in front of her.
Zhang Chi wanted to say something, don't read for too long or something like that, but he thought for a moment and didn't say anything. He left the house and went to the tool room, got on the small four-wheel motorcycle and left the ranch.
As soon as he left the pasture, he remembered that he hadn't filled up the wine yet, so he turned back home. The medicinal wine was in the gourd, but he didn't have anything to put the wine in, so he had to go home and find something to put the wine in.
After filling a two-liter soda bottle with a full bottle of medicinal wine, Zhang Chi rushed to town again.
Arriving next to the land bought by Cannon and Brian, Zhang Chi found that the place was already very lively. Several modular houses had been built, and some wood and other materials were neatly stacked near the road.
Lao Xu seemed to have nothing to do here. He was sitting on the pile of wood, chatting with a group of people. He also took off his shoes, and a piece of his big toe stuck out of his torn socks.
Very unsightly.
"Coming!"
When Lao Xu saw Zhang Chi coming, he turned and stretched out his hand towards him.
Zhang Chi parked his motorcycle and got out of the car with the bottle of wine. At the same time, he said to Lao Xu: "Why can't you skin a sheep because you are so idle? If you have to wait for me to come, you are lazy enough."
.
Lao Xu smiled and said: "I have only rested for less than a minute. The materials have just been unloaded, and the truck loading them has just left. What about your front and back legs...".
"Okay, I get it."
After talking to Lao Xu, Zhang Chi smiled at the others and said hello. Some of them Zhang Chi knew were from Amber Town. There were no cowboys. They were all small farmers with hundreds of people at home.
About ten acres of land.
I don’t have much contact with Zhang Chi. The main reason is that the projects we run are different. They are farming, and Zhang Chi is raising cattle. Although these people farm land mainly to supply nearby pastures, Zhang Chi has never obtained these goods.
People have bought corn to feed cattle and so on.
Of course, people don't rely on Zhangchi Ranch to survive. They can still operate it because they still rely on their old customers.
Although we are not familiar with each other, we know each other after all.
I don't know about the remaining three people, Zhang Chi. I have never met them, but I can tell by looking at their temperament and appearance that they are all Chinese, and they are Chinese who came to the United States not long ago. The smell on their bodies is immediately recognizable.
.
"Zhang Chi, come on, let me introduce you. There is no need to introduce these people. You must know them all. These are my friends. They just came from China and want to start an industry here in the United States. Like you,
Raising cattle or planting land or something..." Lao Xu said.
"This is Yang Jing, this is Li Shu, and this is your fellow countryman, Zhao Feng," Old Xu said.
Zhang Chi shook hands with these three people one by one, and asked politely: "Have you seen the place?"
Zhao Feng smiled and pointed at himself: "I have a place, but they haven't set their sights on a piece of land yet. Either the place is small or the price is expensive."
"Normally, I can't understand the land price now. All costs are rising, but things haven't increased at all. Instead, the land price has risen along with it," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
After a pause, Zhang Chi asked again: "Why don't you rent land in China? Now I heard that you can rent land in China."
"It's okay to rent land, but you can't rent a good place. The village has taken care of it. As for other places, you don't dare to demolish it. Well! Yang Jing rented it to you. Let him tell you." Zhao
Feng smiled.
Zhang Chi is a little strange.
Yang Jing made a bitter face and said: "It's not that easy. It's not as simple as you think. First of all, the land you rent still belongs to others. Secondly, you invested in it and when you are waiting for the harvest, a bunch of old men in the village
The old lady or something came with something.
They usually pick up whatever they see without saying anything. At that time, I rented land and planted some melons and cantaloupe. The market price at that time was quite good. I felt so happy when I looked at the melon field and thought about when the melons were ripe.
You can still earn more than ten or two hundred thousand.
Who knew that before the melons were ripe, the farmers in the village came, not at night, but in broad daylight, in broad daylight, and those who came with baskets were considered good people. Many old men and women came directly on tricycles, and several families
People will jump down and pick your melons.
My wife was crying and trying to persuade her, saying that we could just take some back to eat, but why do we do this..."
"Why didn't you call the police?" Zhang Chi asked casually.
But when I asked him about it, he felt a little embarrassed. He was also from the countryside, and he knew all the twists and turns here. Who should be arrested? He could get relatives with the police station chief after just a few turns. This country guy
The relationship is complicated.
Besides, if you steal some small melons, even a car is not worth much. If it costs four to five hundred yuan, it is probably difficult to even file a case.
Yang Jing said: "Call the police? I didn't come out as quickly as they did. It's okay if you don't call the police. Once the police was called, they started pulling things out even more happily. Everyone knows that they can't control them anymore. They're right in front of you.
Your land was robbed.
In the end, I stopped working and renting the land. I can’t afford to offend him, so I can’t afford to hide.”
Zhang Chi was quite speechless after hearing this. He had been here for a long time and had never heard of this. In his hometown, people were gathered together, the land was rented out, and the original farmers were changed to workers.
All the young people have gone out to work, and even those who are not working have moved to Xuancheng. Only the old people are left in the village.
These old people, like their parents, are quite satisfied with their current jobs. They go do some recreational work every day, and when the time comes, the money is paid, and they feel more comfortable than when they were farming before.
Why was Yang Jing so unlucky to meet a group of village farmers like this?
Zhao Feng said: "It is absolutely true that unruly people come out of remote areas."
"That's right!" Zhang Chi nodded.
Yang Jing asked: "I heard that the United States is a good place, and you can shoot if you break into your land."
"Not all places allow shooting, some states still have requirements for this," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Many Chinese who have just come here don’t know that the laws of various states in the United States are different. Although they both belong to the United States, they are all confederate states. Otherwise, how would it be called the United States. Therefore, due to historical and other reasons, the laws of each state are not exactly the same.
It is normal for things that are legal in some states to be illegal in other states.
"What about here?"
Zhang Chi laughed and said: "Here, you can just shoot. If you kill someone, just let the police collect the body."
"Well, it's good here!" Yang Jing nodded.
This shows how much Yang Jing hates the villagers who stole his melons.
"Okay, don't be nagging. Here, take it and kill the sheep."
At this time, Lao Xu handed over a knife and signaled Zhang Chi to slaughter the sheep.
Zhang Chi took the knife, found a stone to sharpen it twice, and then began to slaughter the sheep.
