While the photo frames were drying, Zhang Chi and Sun Yanping returned to the big house and muttered together for a while.
Zhang Chi stood up and was about to inspect the pasture. He found that his brother-in-law had stood up as well, so he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Where are you going?" Sun Yanping said.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm going to inspect the pasture. Where else can I go? Do you want to follow me?"
Sun Yanping said: "I have nothing to do anyway, so let's get together."
At this time, Li Xiumei walked out of the kitchen and heard the conversation between the two and said, "Don't go, there's something going on!"
Zhang Chi looked at his mother and waited eagerly for her to explain what was going on.
Li Xiumei said: "Dad, they caught a few rabbits and asked you to take them back and skin them. At noon, your uncle said he wanted to show off his skills and fry some fried rabbit meat for everyone."
"All right!"
When Zhang Chi heard this, he stopped patrolling. Now he honestly went to get the rabbit and waited until he had time in the afternoon to patrol the field again. It's not that no one patrols the field, Cannon and the cowboys patrol the field every day, sometimes
It will also get worse from time to time.
But as a rancher, you can't always let the cowboys patrol the farm without even walking a lap. That would be a bit outrageous. You can go around the farm every now and then to check on the cowboys' work, so this patrol is a must.
It needs to be done every few days. As long as Zhang Chi is at home, there will always be one or two irregular tours a week.
Now there is work to skin rabbits, so the work of patrolling has to stop.
Stepping out of the house, Zhang Chi felt someone was following him when he reached the door. When he turned around, he found that his brother-in-law was still following him.
"Are you going to get the rabbit too?" Zhang Chi asked.
Sun Yanping said: "Who will go with you to get the rabbit? I'll go for a ride on horseback."
Zhang Chi stepped aside and sent his brother-in-law off first. He stopped at the door and looked around for a while, thinking about when to buy snakewood seedlings.
While I was thinking about it, my sister's voice came from behind me: "What are you and your brother-in-law whispering about? You can tell by looking at them that they are up to no good."
Zhang Juan appeared behind her younger brother and asked Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi said: "Nothing, let's discuss where we want to go."
Zhang Juan snorted: "Don't talk nonsense. You and your brother-in-law can play anywhere. Your brother-in-law doesn't like what you like to play. You don't like what your brother-in-law likes. What do you two have in common?"
?When did it happen? Why did I only hear about it today?"
This is correct. Although Zhang Chi and Sun Yanping are both men, their hobbies are really very different. Zhang Chi takes his work very seriously, and his other hobbies don't seem to be that big of a deal. But as for Sun Yanping, apart from work, Other than that, they are all hobbies. The only thing I don't like is work. I belong to the type of people who are busy at work and lively after get off work.
"Is this okay for you to know?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"One by one," Zhang Juan said and walked towards the small vegetable patch to the east.
When he reached the vegetable garden, he reached out and grabbed some green onions and garlic. He returned to his brother and asked again.
"It's really nothing, why don't you believe it yet?" Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi didn't tell his sister that his brother-in-law was bleeding heavily and wanted to get her a birthday present. This thing was a surprise, and it would only be a surprise when the time came. Now where did the surprise come from?
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it. Anyway, I'll just ask your brother-in-law tonight." Zhang Juan didn't get the answer she wanted from her brother, so she shook off the green onions in her hand and went back to the kitchen.
When she arrived at the door, Zhang Juan turned around and said, "Why don't you go get the rabbit? What time is it? When will you have dinner after you peel it and fry it?"
After hearing this, Zhang Chi went to get the rabbit.
When Zhang Chi arrived at the west pasture, he found that his grandfather, uncle and I had caught quite a lot, five or six gray hares, all of which were quite fat. The largest one weighed almost four kilograms.
The hares here are all small. They are considered big if they weigh more than four kilograms. The smaller ones weigh less than three kilograms, which sounds quite heavy, but this kind of weight comes with fur and internal organs. Just peel off the skin.
, once the internal organs were removed, they weighed almost two kilograms.
If you take off the head and chop off the feet, there won't be much left.
After chatting for a while and taking the rabbit back to the pasture, Zhang Chi began to pack up the rabbit.
I am an old skinner, so this job is a bit smooth and has almost become an art. In less than a quarter of an hour, several rabbits were smoothly skinned and disemboweled by Zhang Chi. Then, after a flurry of knives, they became one by one.
Just soak the mahjong-sized pieces of rabbit meat in water, and Zhang Chi's business is over.
Seeing that his grandfather and the others had not come back yet, he wanted to help in the kitchen, but his grandmother kicked him out, so Zhang Chi simply rode up Chiyan Mountain and started to look at the cattle near the stables.
The first Zhang Chi came to Da Xuan's stupid herd. The herd was all cows. The leading cow was the biggest, and there was a calf of six or seven months old beside him. The calf was very strong and strong.
It's a young bull.
Although the young bull is strong, it will definitely be a sellout when it is ready tomorrow. A strong bull is nothing in Zhang Chi’s herd. Unless there is a miracle before killing it next year, otherwise it will be around this time next year, or even later.
The earlier it is, the sooner it will die.
Zhang Chi also saw Xiao Xuan's head. After being punished by Zhang Chi, Da Xuan's head became more honest. At least he didn't bully Zhang Chi like before. Now he would go to the cattle when he saw Zhang Chi.
Hide and hide.
This performance fully illustrates that sometimes a stick of education is better than ten thousand honest words.
After passing Da Xuan's cow herd, Zhang Chi's next herd was Xiao Qiang's cow, the sub-adult heifer that was bullied by the big cow and then bullied the calf.
From a distance, Zhang Chi heard Xiaoqiang's cry. Following the sound, he found that Xiaoqiang was being gored by two cows. Needless to say, Xiaoqiang must have bullied someone else's calf again.
When Zhang Chi came to the herd, the two cows turned to lick their babies, leaving Xiao Qiang standing there, staring blankly at the two calves being licked by their mothers.
This is not because Zhang Chi came over, so the cow let Xiao Qiang go. Even if Zhang Chi couldn't come over, the cow wouldn't do anything to Xiao Qiang.
From Zhang Chi's understanding, Zhang Chi believes that these cows have been exhausted by Xiao Qiang, that is, they can't stand Xiao Qiang anymore.
After standing for a while, Xiaoqiang touched a calf again. The calf was not big, only a month to a month and a half old at most. When he met Xiaoqiang...
Moo! Moo!
The calf was chased all over the ground by Xiao Qiang, and several times it was pushed by Xiao Qiang and rolled over on the grass.
As expected, Xiao Niu's mother soon arrived, and naturally she held Xiao Qiang down and gave him a good beating.
Then came another reincarnation.
Zhang Chi looked at Xiaoqiang with a little admiration. He had been switching roles between being beaten and being beaten, but he was still able to eat himself up, which was considered a miracle.
The warmest moment is when I see Laifu.
Far away from Laifu's herd, he heard Laifu's cry. Waiting for Zhang Chi to get closer, Laifu rushed over, shouting and looking up at Zhang Chi on the horse.
Moo, moo!
Zhang Chi turned over and got off the horse, reaching out to rub Laifu's head.
Then he 'enjoyed' Laifu's tongue, licking it back and forth, making Zhang Chi's hands sticky.
The herds of cattle have moved to a new location, and the grass is very high. Sometimes the calves squat down in the deep grass. If you don't pay attention, you can hardly see the calf.
However, each herd can now see a few, a dozen, or even nearly twenty calves, which still makes Zhang Chi feel happy.
The little lives on the ranch always make Zhang Chi feel that his pocket is a little bigger. Although he still owes the bank money for buying Nell's ranch, with these calves, paying back the money will definitely not be a big problem.
.
After going around in a circle and not seeing half of the cattle, Zhang Chi decided to go home because it was during meal time and if he stayed here any longer, he would definitely be scolded.
In the past, when Melika and I were together, there weren't so many things going on. Melika could eat first when she was away. It's not like now, when I have a bit of a temper.
I don’t know if all mothers are like this. The first few days they see their children are warm, but after a few days, they become more and more unpleasant to the eyes. They always find an excuse to scold them before they feel happy.
Back at the big house, Zhang Chi found that his uncle and the others had just come back because their horses had not yet been unsaddled.
Zhang Chi went over to help.
"Uncle, you go ahead and fry the rabbit meat first, I will do the rest."
Zhang Youliang said: "Okay, I'll give you this job and I'll fry the rabbit meat."
As he spoke, Zhang Youliang walked into the house.
Zhang Chi took the horse here, grabbed the reins and led the horse to a small tree in the east. Grass grew up around the small tree, just enough for the horse to nibble on.
As for the saddle on the horse's back, you can remove it and hang it on the railing of the gallery or the horse hitching post at the door.
After eating anyway, they had to ride.
Everyone is busy with their own things. If you are not busy or not cooking, don't be a nuisance to others. Find a place to stay by yourself and don't interfere with other people's work.
This is not talking about Zhang Chi, but the idle personnel headed by Sun Yanping, Xiao Xiao and his son.
Zhang Chi walked over and started teasing his little nephew.
"Xiao Xiao, how is the horse riding? Is it still the same as before?"
What Zhang Chi said about flat sand and falling geese is that Xiaoxiao rides in a semi-recumbent position. In this regard, father and son can be said to have the same origin.
Zhang Chi did not correct him. First, because the child was too young, it was not appropriate for him to ride a horse seriously. As for Sun Yanping, Zhang Chi simply gave up. No one can change a person's habits no matter how hard he teaches. This is also
Why is it said that white paper is easier to draw on, but half-drawn paper is not easy to draw on?
"I rode well!"
Xiaoxiao puffed up her chest when she said: "If Xiaodouzi runs faster, I won't fall again."
"Have the ability".
Zhang Chi was very perfunctory. Xiao Xiao couldn't fall off the pony when it ran. In Zhang Chi's opinion, there was only one possibility, and that was that the pony wasn't running fast.
When he really started running, Zhang Chi didn't believe that he couldn't leave Xiao Xiao behind.
However, it is not easy to get the little pony to run away. Think about how high the grass is. If the little pony ran into the deep grass, almost its head would be exposed. How could it have the courage to run like crazy?
"Are you going to do things after dinner?" Sun Yanping asked.
Without waiting for Zhang Chi to answer, Xiaoxiao, a gossip, asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"It's none of your business," Zhang Chi scolded, and then nodded to his brother-in-law.
After a while Xiaoxiao, who was gossiping, asked again.
After a while, the little thing asked Zhang Chi once, which made Zhang Chi a little annoyed.
