After watching it for a while, Zhang Chi couldn't stand it anymore. He drew a square strip back and forth for almost five or six minutes. Who can bear this?
"If you're in a hurry, just go away. I won't be bothered if I can't see you. You don't have any character at all. Good things have to be done like this, you know?" Sun Yanping was a little unhappy.
After saying that, he turned around and pointed his butt at his brother-in-law: "Let's go and play."
Zhang Chi didn't coddle him, and just carried the basin out of the door and returned to the house.
"Have you finished eating Yanping? So quickly?"
When Miao Guifang saw her grandson coming back with an empty basin, she asked in surprise.
Only then did Zhang Chi remember that his grandma had asked him to deliver things, but now that the pots were empty, he couldn't go and deliver them again.
"Well, I'm done eating."
After a vague response, Zhang Chi put the basin on the countertop and walked out of the kitchen.
After thinking about it, I decided not to stay here and go over there to see if there is any work to be done at the ranch.
Arriving at the cowshed, Zhang Chi found Dominic spreading hay in the cowshed.
"What is this for?"
Zhang Chi asked.
Dominic said, "Cannon asked me to spread the hay out to dry."
"What kind of grass is dried on a rainy day?" Zhang Chi asked.
Dominic said: "I don't know either."
"Where's Cannon?"
Seeing what he said, Zhang Chi wanted to ask Cannon.
In fact, Zhang Chi doesn't need to ask about this matter, but isn't he too idle now? He is looking for something to do. Now that he finally has something to do, it would be a pity to give up like this.
"Forage," Dominic said.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi went out from the east gate of the cowshed. After exiting the east gate, he faced the fodder warehouse not far away.
Standing at the door of the cowshed, you can see a busy scene in the hay barn.
Arriving at the door of the hay warehouse, Zhang Chi found that Cannon was leading a group of cowboys to grade materials. A new batch of dried hay was to be put into the warehouse. Because of the rain, there was a little rush on time, so the hay was not delivered.
Just like before, just code it as the car enters the warehouse.
First, pile them randomly in the warehouse, and then wait for the rain to come down, and then slowly pile them up, so that part of the grass will not be left outside in the rain due to time constraints.
"This is the first crop of grass this year?"
When they all arrived at the door, Zhang Chi didn't walk away. He went directly over and started working with everyone.
Others were accustomed to Zhang Chi's work as BOSS. No flatterer came to Zhang Chi and told Zhang Chi to stop being BOSS. All the cowboys, including Cannon, felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Chi coming to help at this time.
Of course, if Zhang Chi doesn't come, they can handle it.
Brian said: "This is the fourth crop, and there will probably be three or four more."
"How is it?" Zhang Chi asked again.
Cannon said: "There are definitely not as many as last year, and there are more cows this year. Boss, I think we have to buy a batch of grass to store. We definitely can't count on the pastures in the west this year. Our pasture is the only one that produces grass.
There won’t be enough to survive the winter this year, so my suggestion is to find a suitable opportunity and buy some hay to prepare for the winter.”
Zhang Chi said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Before the snow falls, the ranch in Colorado will transport a batch of silage, and it will be almost done by then."
"Silage?"
Cannon cheered up after hearing this. No matter how much he said, silage was better than hay. At least it had a green flavor, and the cows liked it more.
Of course, based on last year's experience, hay and silage alone are not enough for cattle nutrition, and the low-lying grass must turn green again after heavy snow falls.
Hearing that Zhang Chi had already prepared a plan, Cannon felt that this problem would not be a big problem.
The two of them chatted and worked, and soon a pile of grass was piled up to the roof beams, almost reaching the top.
"Don't put all the pastures here, and don't leave the fodder warehouses in the west pastures empty." Zhang Chi suddenly remembered that the pastures in the west also have fodder warehouses.
Cannon smiled and said, "BOSS, have you forgotten?"
Zhang Chi was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that the big warehouse over there served as a laboratory for the researchers, and there was also a small warehouse, but the small warehouse was too small, almost the same size as his own ranch.
The current tool room is pretty much the same.
"I really forgot about this," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Ouch!
Zhang Chi was talking here when he suddenly saw something falling from the haystack out of the corner of his eye, so he subconsciously went over to catch it.
Before Zhang Chi could rush over there, he saw Brian throw away half a bundle of grass in his hand, and the grass fell in the air where he fell.
Ouch!
After this ouch, the person had already fallen onto the grass.
If it were not for this bundle of grass, this person would have to lie on the hospital bed for at least more than a month after falling from above. Although the place is not high, he is lying on his back, and his whole body is equivalent to lying flat.
"What's going on?" Cannon frowned.
"It's okay, I didn't pay attention for a moment and it fell.
After getting off the straw bale, Kevin slapped his butt to show that there was no problem at all.
But Kevin's playful smile suddenly irritated Cannon, and he yelled: "It will be too late by the time something happens. Didn't I ask you to put on your seat belts? Why didn't you put them on?"
"I forgot when I came back from going to the toilet just now...".
Kevin was a little scared, so he opened his mouth and said.
In fact, Kevin didn't forget, but he felt it was very inconvenient to drag this thing when stacking grass on top. He thought that it was only at such a high place, and nothing would happen if it fell. The most important thing was
The only thing he thought was that he couldn't fall.
Subjectively, this guy is sloppy and doesn't have enough awareness of safety precautions.
Cannon got angry, and Zhang Chi raised his feet and left. He said that managing the Cowboys was Cannon's business, so Zhang Chi would not interfere. Unless there was a very serious problem, it would be up to him how to punish the Cowboys.
The Cannon thing.
When he said let go, Zhang Chi let go without any hesitation.
He hadn't stayed here long and had to change places again, so Zhang Chi thought about where to go next.
Just as Zhang Chi was thinking about it, his cell phone rang.
After taking a look, he found that it was Seliol who was calling. He thought it was about the tour group from Yanzhou, so he answered the phone excitedly.
"George?"
The voice of the old man Serriol came from the mobile phone.
The old guy's voice was so loud that it tickled Zhang Chi's ear canal.
Stretching out his little finger to pick at his ear hole, Zhang Chi said, "Well, it's me."
"Do you have time now?" Serior asked again.
The voice sounded quite serious, and for a moment Zhang Chi didn't know what was going on.
"Yes, did the conversation with my friend Yan not go smoothly?" Zhang Chi asked.
Serriol said: "No, they talked very smoothly. Now it is our own business. We said that we should discuss it together to see what to do."
"Our thing?"
What does Zhang Chi think he has in common with you, an old man? He can go hunting with your son, but what kind of trouble will he have with you?
"You don't know yet?" Serior understood immediately upon hearing this. This stupid boy didn't know what was about to happen, so he was confused now.
Zhang Chi asked: "What should I know?"
Serriol said: "As for the tax increase, the state has decided that our city will first approve the tax increase. The agricultural and animal husbandry transaction tax will be increased by a certain amount. This is not a big deal. There is another most important thing. The state wants to increase the tax on agricultural land.
A new law was enacted when oil and minerals were discovered, allowing development companies to obtain development rights without the consent of the landowner after paying a certain amount of compensation..."
"Hey, what idiot came up with this idea!"
Zhang Chi became angry instantly and yelled in Chinese.
This Nima thing is even better!
Neither of these two things can be achieved, because the first one is to collect money, and the second one is to collect power. Things that originally belong to the ranchers can be plundered by big companies at will.
Needless to say, the first point is that raising taxes is not something that only Americans do. Governments in all countries do it. As long as the government has no money, it will have to collect more taxes. There is nothing hard to understand about this.
This second point is really life-threatening. At least Zhang Chi can't bear it, and probably not many ranchers can bear it.
It’s not that no state has done this, but it has never been done here in this state, because the political cornerstone here is farmers and ranchers. Large and small, especially small and medium-sized farmers and ranchers, are the main force of the main votes.
.
The United States is a federal system, and the laws in various places are not exactly the same. For example, in some states, if oil and minerals are discovered on the land, these things do not entirely belong to the land owner.
But here in Zhang Chi's place, as long as you buy land, even a puddle of cow dung on the ground belongs to you. There is no dispute about this. As for the discovery of oil or something, let alone that, I think
I wonder why Nell's father lives such a carefree life. At such an old age, he spends most of his time picking up girls and playing hawks. His life is so fast, relying on a few oil wells on the land.
What comes out of that thing is either oil or colorful U.S. dollars.
Now the state doesn't know which bastard wants to take this thing back to the government.
It is true that this part can increase the government's revenue, but it is also equivalent to poking a hornet's nest. Now farmers and ranchers across the state have no choice but to jump.
After getting angry, Zhang Chi suddenly admired the person who brought up this matter. He was so brave. He was putting himself on the fire. You must know that the people supporting the politicians here cannot be any citizens.
, there are not many pure citizens in this continent. Even if they live in cities, their farms and ranches are inextricably linked to them.
"Are you going to participate?" Serior asked.
There is nothing to hesitate about. After living in the United States for so many years, what Zhang Chi has learned the most is not to give away his own rights and interests, but to unswervingly defend his own rights and the money in his pocket.
Although oil and minerals have not yet been discovered in Zhang Chi's ranch, what if one day I buy a piece of land and have it, and then let others mine it and dig my own land into a mouse hole?
This is something dad can tolerate, but milk cannot tolerate!
"Of course I want to participate," Zhang Chi replied firmly.
