Zhang Chi was squatting, and Xiao Xiao was sitting on the ground, sharing the delicious food with his friends.
Zhang Chi ate the steamed buns and kept nodding. He had to say that the steamed buns made by his wife were so delicious. In fact, Zhang Chi also knew that the steamed buns were not made with high skill, but mainly because of the
The steamed buns were made by his mother and tasted the same as his childhood.
"Are the buns delicious?"
While eating steamed buns, Zhang Chi asked Xiao Xiao. He wanted to know if his nephew felt the same as him.
Xiao Xiao hummed, took a big bite of the bun and swallowed it. Then he said to Zhang Chi: "It's delicious. It's much better than what my mother makes. Neither my father nor I are willing to eat what my mother makes. We would rather eat it."
Go out and buy steamed buns to eat.
The steamed buns made by my grandma are still delicious. I used to like the beef and green onion buns, but now I don’t really want to eat them. The pork and cabbage buns seem to be more delicious.
Uncle, does your cabbage have sugar in it? Why is it so sweet?"
Zhang Chi obviously knew that the little guy had eaten too much beef during this period. He fried, steamed, boiled, roasted and stewed. Beef was included in every meal. No matter how delicious the food was, it would be boring to eat it this way.
He reached out and touched Xiaoxiao's head: "You, you have eaten too much beef and you don't want to eat it."
Xiaoxiao blinked after hearing this, and then turned his attention to his buns.
While I was eating steamed buns, suddenly the kitchen door was opened and Li Xiumei, wearing plaid pajamas, came in.
"Hey, why are you eating so late at night? Are you hungry?" Li Xiumei asked with a smile when she saw her son and grandson both had buns stuffed in their mouths.
Zhang Chi pointed at Xiao Xiao and said, "I'm here to catch him."
"Grandma, I want to eat your steamed buns."
Xiaoxiao's mouth is really sweet.
After hearing this, Li Xiumei said: "Just eat the steamed buns. Wait, I'll cook you some soup. How about just eating the steamed buns...".
When Zhang Chi saw his mother's behavior, he immediately said: "Mom, no need, it's almost all eaten, so don't bother."
Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, Xiao Xiao said: "Grandma, I want to eat tomato and egg soup."
"Okay, grandma will do it for you."
When Li Xiumei heard this, she immediately became energetic and turned around to make tomato and egg soup.
"Are you going to work?"
Li Xiumei gestured to Zhang Chi.
"What work?"
Zhang Chi was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of wink his mother was giving him, and he didn't want to drink soup.
"Go get some tomatoes outside and wait for them to be eaten. Are you three years old?" Li Xiumei felt that her son was usually quite clever, but why was his IQ off the mark today? He had to ask more about such an obvious thing.
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that he had been asked to pick tomatoes, so he threw the last piece of bun wrapper into his mouth, stood up, opened the kitchen door, and went to pick tomatoes from the small vegetable garden outside.
The sky is very dark today, there is not a single star above the head, and there is no moonlight at all. It is so dark that it makes you unable to see your fingers.
If it weren't for the lights in Zhang Chi's ranch, I wouldn't be able to see anything.
Zhang Chi took out the flashlight from the gourd, unscrewed it and shined it towards the several breeding boxes he had planted.
Tomatoes are easy to find, because tomatoes have a shelf, which is not lost in the middle. They are not as high as beans, almost reaching a person's waist.
When he came to the tomato shelf, Zhang Chi took a look, picked two or three, took them in his hand, and went back to the house.
As soon as I turned my head, I heard vague movement in the distance.
Looking in the direction from which the movement came, Zhang Chi noticed that the lights in the cowboy dormitory over there were on, and several gray figures came out of their respective dormitories. It looked like something was going on.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Chi quickly returned to the kitchen and handed the tomatoes in his hand to his mother.
"I'm going to take a look. It seems like something happened at the ranch," Zhang Chi said as he put the remaining basket of steamed buns into a plastic bag.
"Uncle, I'm not full yet?"
When Xiaoxiao saw that his uncle had put all the last basket of steamed buns into plastic bags, he thought that his uncle wanted to eat alone, so he immediately protested.
"If you don't eat until you're full, you'll steam it. If you talk too much, you'll tell your mother tomorrow morning. If you don't sleep well, you won't eat or brush your teeth when you wake up at night."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi gently touched his nephew's head.
When the little guy heard that his uncle was going to do this, he immediately became honest, but the expression on his face was obviously unconvinced.
Zhang Chi was not in the mood to have fun with his nephew, so he walked out carrying the bag containing the buns.
When they arrived at the stables, Zhang Chi sent Cannon and Brian to prepare their horses.
Zhang Chi asked the two of them, "What's going on?"
As he spoke, he placed the bags in front of the two of them one after another.
Both Cannon and Brian had eaten steamed buns before. When they saw this, they were not polite to Zhang Chi. They just took the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths, while still working on their hands.
"There was a cow over there that was having difficulty giving birth, and Dominic came over to inform us that something went wrong during the delivery," Brian said.
"The skills of these two people are too rough. Let's go over and take a look," Cannon said.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi directly hung the bun on the stable door, while he took a saddle and sweat pad or something and started to set up Chi Yanshan.
The three of them were all veterans, and soon the horses were ready. Everyone rode on their own horses and headed to the pasture to the west.
Cannon and Brian were eating steamed buns together, and Zhang Chi asked about the situation in detail.
Dystocia in cows is not a big deal. Cows that give birth to their first calf are most likely to encounter this problem, and many cows in Zhangchi Ranch are facing this problem.
Some cows have little experience in calving for the first time, so cowboys need to watch them carefully to understand when such cows are likely to give birth, and they must provide certain care when the time comes.
If there is no artificial intervention, it is easy to cause the calf to die. No, this is not the worst result. The worst thing is that the cow does not survive and the calf is completely dead.
This was the case with Laifu earlier. If it weren't for the intervention of a few people at that time, Laifu and Laifu's mother would probably have to answer that night.
The three of them galloped along the horse path and soon arrived at the place.
When a cow gives birth to a calf, it will leave the herd and find a place where it feels safe and comfortable to give birth to the calf. Therefore, the place where Cannon and the three came to was next to a leeward grove, not in a grove.
Instead, it is next to the grove, under an oak tree on the outside.
The calf has been born, and Kevin and Xavier are standing next to it.
The cow had stood up and was licking the calf with her tongue.
"What's going on?" Zhang Chi asked.
It's been a while since the notification, and with Kevin and Xavier pulling the calf out, it stands to reason that the calf can stand up.
Although humans have been domesticating cattle for thousands of years, as herbivores, some characteristics have remained, such as calves being able to stand up not long after they are born.
"Calf seems to have hurt his leg," Xavier said.
"BOSS, this is my fault. I didn't notice when I was pulling that the calf's front hooves were a little curled up. In the end, Kevin reminded me..."
Xavier said.
Zhang Chi didn't say anything more. It had already happened. It was useless to complain. Even the most careful cowboy could not guarantee that every time he encountered something, he would handle it perfectly.
Although a calf was injured and Zhang Chi felt a little distressed, he still did not get angry at Xavier.
"Just be more careful next time. Have you called the doctor?"
There are free doctors here in Zhang Chi. Isaac and his gang have a team of veterinarians here. Their level is definitely not low. They are engaged in scientific research after all. If the level of veterinarians here is lower than that of the veterinarians here, then this research institution will have to
What does the water look like?
"The doctor happened to be away today. They went back to the city with some samples in the afternoon," Brian said.
Zhang Chi said oh.
Cannon was examining the calf at this time. Based on his experience, he quickly saw the problem. He still hurt the calf's leg while pulling the calf out of the birth canal, but it was not a serious problem. It would be easy when the time comes.
Just give him some water and some medicine to increase his physical strength.
What Cannon is most concerned about now is not the calf, but the cow. If Xavier and Kevin hurt the cow this time, it will be a big loss for the ranch.
Normally, a cow can give birth to ten calves. If she is injured now, the ranch will suffer a lot.
So Cannon immediately checked the cow with Brian, and they were relieved that there was nothing wrong with the cow.
If there is nothing wrong with the cow now, then the problem with the calf will not be a problem.
Cannon took off the sleeve on his arm and stuffed it into a disposable bag.
"From now on, the three of us will take turns to schedule shifts."
This was said to Brian.
Kevin is 28 years old, and Brother Dominic is also in his twenties. He didn't feel it before when nothing happened, but when the incident happened today, Cannon felt that the work on young people's hands was too rough, so he decided to do it every day from now on.
The night shift requires an old cowboy to take the position, otherwise who knows if we will have such luck next time.
"Okay, let's discuss it with Zarick tomorrow and see how this shift should be arranged." Brian didn't object. He also felt that what happened today was his and the others' luck. If the cow was injured, it would be a disaster for the ranch.
It's a considerable loss.
While everyone was chatting, they were waiting to see if the calf could stand up.
The calf tried hard, but his front leg seemed to be soft and he didn't exert any force at all. So after trying many times, the calf still couldn't stand up.
"BOSS, please go back first. This calf probably won't be able to stand up today." Cannon looked at the situation and said to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi didn't insist on staying. He also knew that he couldn't really help here. Apart from causing trouble for others, he was just acting as a mascot.
After saying a few words to everyone and comforting Xavier and Kevin at the same time, Zhang Chi rode up the Red Flame Mountain and ran towards the entrance of the ranch.
Zhang Chi knew that Cannon would definitely scold the two of them. It would be weird if Cannon didn't scold them if this happened, but Xavier and Kevin should also scold them.
As the ranch supervisor, Cannon is now in a very good position. As the BOSS, Zhang Chi is certainly not suitable for swearing, so he, the cowboy supervisor, must do the swearing.
To put it clearly, in front of the cowboys, Cannon always has a bad face, while Zhang Chi has the image of a 'good boss'.
