The machine is great, and the sound insulation is quite good. It sounds like a small tank outside, but once you sit in the cab and close the door, the noise is almost completely shut out.
The view from the cab is also very good. Several sides are covered with glass. You can see the surrounding situation when you turn your head. It is also equipped with air conditioning. The seats are also air-pressure shock-absorbed and feel soft when you sit up.
The tall, green grass in the front was swallowed into the machine, and bundles of square bales came out from the back, neatly arranged in two rows behind the machine.
At the beginning, Zhang Chi was not used to it. It was easy to leave some grass paths in one round trip. This was because he did not calculate the distance of the harvester. A little grass was missed in the middle. It was unrealistic to cut again because the machine would calculate the distance.
After going back and forth a few times about the area, I gradually started to feel it, and this feeling disappeared.
The tall pastures were cut, revealing the color of the earth that had not changed for a long time. The dark soil, coupled with the grass stems with white roots, suddenly separated the pasture into two parts. One was the green pasture, and the other was
A piece of land is dark brown.
Because the pasture grows high, some small animals will appear in it from time to time. Some silly little things are not sure whether they are too stupid to run away or whether they did not run away and were crushed into the soil by the huge harvester.
Zhang Chi couldn't see them because he was sitting very high, almost two meters above the ground. He really couldn't take care of these little things, even if he wanted to, there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Chi drove the lawnmower rolling forward like the wheel of history, and the bales of grass rolled behind him like the poop pulled out by the lawnmower, galloping across the undulating pasture.
Just when Zhang Chi was hitting the fifth round, two little birds landed on the engine cover in front of the driver. The two little things flapped their wings desperately and pecked at the engine cover with their small beaks.
"What are you doing!"
Zhang Chi looked at the two little guys and wondered if they were crazy.
After a second thought, Zhang Chi roughly understood the reason for these two little guys, so he stopped the machine, opened the door of the cab, and came to the front of the machine to take a look.
Sure enough, there was a small grass nest about twenty centimeters away from the lawnmower, and there were six or seven eggs in the nest.
It was now clear that the two bird parents were having a quixotic competition with the giant lawnmower for their eggs.
Seeing the bird's nest, Zhang Chi squatted down, fiddled with it, picked up a bird egg and shook it. He found that there was no bird inside, that is, it was still an egg and no birds had grown out, so he connected the bird with it.
The nests and eggs were all in his hands.
When the bird's parents saw it, they became anxious and pecked at Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi got into the cab with the bird's nest and locked the two adult birds outside the cab. No matter how much the two adult birds pecked, he had no intention of opening the door.
"Do you know this is my territory? Do you dare to have children on my territory after paying the tax? You two have paid the tax for this litter, and you can take care of the rest." Zhang Chi looked at the two adult thieves.
He laughed and continued to drive the machine forward.
The two adult birds couldn't hear what Zhang Chi said. The two little ones pecked around the big machine for a while. Maybe they found that the bird's nest had fallen into the hands of the thief, leaving the green hills intact. They were not afraid of running out of firewood, so they flew together.
gone.
After working for almost an hour, Zhang Chi found that there were several more eggs in the cab, almost twenty of them.
The work was very mechanical and quite tiring, so Zhang Chi planned to take a break. Anyway, he was collecting money according to the land, so it wouldn't take more than a few dozen minutes.
Once again, Zhang Chi stopped the machine, put all the eggs into a nest, and returned to the house with a nest of eggs.
He went into the house and put the eggs into a basket, washed them in the water and put them aside.
At this time, the door of the small bedroom opened, Zhang Wu yawned, scratched his belly with one hand and walked out with his slippers.
"ha!"
First he yawned, and then asked Zhang Chi: "You got up so early."
"It's still early. It's almost time for lunch. It's still early," Zhang Chi said to his cousin.
"Then let's cook." Zhang Wu patted his belly and said, "I'm really hungry now that you mention it."
"What are you eating? I'm mowing the grass. Let's have lunch after two o'clock," Zhang Chi said.
After hearing this, Zhang Wu asked casually: "Has the machine been delivered?"
"I have to wait for you to deliver them. The day lilies are already cold. When they are delivered, I have already cut a large piece of grass," Zhang Chi said.
"Why hire a manpower? It would be better to just hire an automated one. You can plan the area to be cut, and then the machine will cut automatically, so you don't have to worry about it at all," Zhang Wu said.
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment: "Can you still play like this?"
Zhang Chi knew that this thing existed, but he didn't know that it could be rented nearby.
Zhang Wu looked at his cousin as if he were an idiot: "What age is this? Cars are already driving autonomously and you still have to work hard on your own. You are so stupid!"
Hearing what his cousin said, Zhang Chi immediately called the machine company to ask. At this question, Zhang Chi put down the phone and started cursing. The company has such machines, and renting them is not much more expensive than manpower.
, but now that all such machines have been rented out, only the manpower is left.
I originally thought their service was good, but I didn't expect them to send him a message.
"Profiteer!"
Zhang Chi jumped on his feet and cursed.
"You have the nerve to blame others. You don't understand it yourself. I see, you still hire someone, and the entire ranch will be full of noobs. What do you think?"
Zhang Wu looked at his cousin and smiled.
Zhang Chi originally thought that he was doing a good job and the rented machine was very good. But now he suddenly felt that this big machine was no longer good.
Zhang Chi was awakened by his cousin's words. He felt that he still had to hire an old cowboy to take care of his ranch, otherwise he would be like a blind man here.
The main reason was that his cousin gave him a sum of money, which was unexpected by Zhang Chi. It was enough to hire a cowboy for a year to a year and a half.
When thinking of hiring a cowboy, the first thing that popped into Zhang Chi's mind was naturally Cannon. Among all the cowboys, he knew Cannon the best.
After sitting down and thinking for a while, Zhang Chi went through the ranch's accounts again in his mind. Finally, Zhang Chi made up his mind to hire a cowboy to work. He was really blind to the ranch's affairs.
Taking out his cell phone, Zhang Chi looked through Cannon's phone number and dialed it.
Cannon didn't answer, so Zhang Chi called twice in succession, but Cannon didn't answer either, so Zhang Chi guessed that Cannon was busy or his phone wasn't around.
Putting down his phone, Zhang Chi prepared to continue doing his work.
At this time, Zhang Wu had already washed up, carrying a bottle of beer in his hand, and walked to the sofa on the corridor to sit down.
Seeing Zhang Chi coming out, he pointed at the lawnmower not far away with the hand holding the wine bottle: "Is this the machine you rented?"
"Yeah, what do you think?" Zhang Chi asked.
"I don't have any objections, I just feel a bit old," Zhang Wu said.
"It seems like you know it," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Wu was unhappy when he heard this: "Not only do I know about it, I can also drive it. I used to help others a lot to earn some pocket money."
Surrounded by farms and pastures, most people can drive these agricultural machines, which means Zhang Chi has no experience in this field when he is doing small food delivery.
Seeing that Zhang Chi didn't believe it, Zhang Wu immediately quit and said directly: "Brother, let me show you my skills!"
So the two brothers came to the lawnmower together. Zhang Wu jumped on the lawnmower and sat in the driving position.
Zhang Chi also got into the cab, but he just sat next to it, leaning against the window and watching his cousin mow the grass.
The machine started smoothly and started working quickly.
Zhang Chi boasted to his cousin with a surprised look on his face: "So you really know how to do it!"
Zhang Wu is not only good at it, but also very good at it. At least he is much better than Zhang Chi. The path that the machine walks out is almost flat along the terrain. For example, Zhang Chi must make certain reservations for the two adjacent paths that are cut out.
Because without this reserved amount, Zhang Chi would have to leave some grass uncut.
Zhang Wu didn't have this problem at all, and almost used up the reserved amount. The length of each cut was twenty or thirty centimeters longer than Zhang Chi's.
A piece of pasture can save Zhang Chi at least one or two acres of land.
Zhang Wu said proudly: "You don't even know who your brother is! I told you that when I used to help my classmates to earn pocket money, you were still delivering takeaways."
Giving a thumbs up to his cousin, Zhang Chi said with a sincere expression: "How else could you be the elder brother? I am the younger brother! You go ahead and I'll go cook for you. Let's eat noodles and braise them today.
noodle!"
"You kid... I'll go, I'm sorry you were lazy yesterday," Zhang Wu said angrily.
"I didn't have time yesterday. I have time to do your work today. I'll go to the supermarket in the afternoon and buy some more stuff. I'll stuff the pig's trotters for you. What else do you want to eat?" Zhang Chi asked.
Zhang Wudao: "Let's have lamb with cumin, roast beef tripe with bean sprouts, and tomato and egg drop soup. If you can't make hoof and flower soup, forget it...".
Zhang Wu opened his mouth and asked for six or seven dishes, and Zhang Chi responded with a smile.
"Okay, I guarantee your satisfaction!" Zhang Chi replied with a smile.
While waiting for the lawnmower to approach the house again, Zhang Chi got off the lawnmower and ran back like he was having fun.
Zhang Wu drove the lawn mower back and forth several times before he realized what he was doing.
"I'm going to fall for this little thief. Isn't it obvious that I'm being used as free labor?"
Zhang Wu patted his thigh and felt that his cousin was really a simple-minded person with a wicked and loyal heart. A smart person like him would accidentally fall into the trap.
However, after scolding his brother a few times, Zhang Wu still started working honestly and carefully cut the grass.
Zhang Chi returned to the house and started preparing lunch. This time Zhang Chi really didn't dare to fool around. He knew that his cousin would react in a short time, so he prepared the meal with great care.
The braised beef is mixed with pork. The pork is 40% fat and 60% lean. Cut the fat into small cubes and stir-fry the fat and water in a pot. Add some spices while stir-frying the fat to remove the fishy smell of the lard.
.
Next, add diced beef and lean pork into the pot. The diced meat should be very finely chopped, so chewy that it doesn't bite your teeth when you eat it. After the diced pork is put into the pot, add various seasonings to add spices.
Finally add water, add diced potatoes and chopped onions, and simmer over low heat.
