"In mid-October, we haven't decided on a specific date yet. We're waiting for it to start snowing soon. Where is your family?"
Burris said: "Our family will not move to another farm this year. It is too difficult to apply for public pasture, and the price this year is also expensive..."
"It's more expensive to buy grass at home, it's 221 tons, and it will definitely be more expensive when the snow comes," Beni said.
Burris added: "I plan to keep only the ewes and stud males, and sell the rest."
"That also requires a lot of investment. Generally speaking, it is cheaper to transfer," Beni said.
After speaking, Beni glanced at Zhang Chi: "George, if you want to change jobs this year, you have a lot of cattle. When the snow comes in winter, these cattle will be dollar crushers every day."
When Zhang Chi heard that he still had his own business, he smiled and said: "My plan is the same as Burris's. Look at the price of cattle this year. If the price is right, I will sell about two hundred cattle."
"Cattle prices are not optimistic," Burris said.
"Let's take a look. If it doesn't work, sell less. It's impossible not to sell," Zhang Chi said.
This is half true and half false. Others can't make money by selling cattle. Zhang Chi can't make money by selling cattle. His cattle are equivalent to picking up for free. How much did he spend on a thousand cattle? What about others?
cost.
But you can do this but not talk about it. As the old saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. Wherever people talk about getting rich, they are smart people. If you say you make a thousand dollars from a cow, then you are not forcing others to stab you with a knife.
What.
"Now you can make less and less from selling a cow," Beni also said.
"There's nothing we can do, we have no channel," Serriol also said.
Everyone knew who made the money, but there was nothing they could do. As soon as the four major slaughterers sat down, the price of beef in the entire American market was set. It was not the turn of small ranchers like them to speak.
There is nothing these small ranchers can do other than scold their mothers.
And then came the scolding phase.
However, Zhang Chi felt that the vocabulary of Americans was really too small, and the words that were turned over and over were just those few sentences, such as "Biqi", "Machifake", "Sangao Biqi" and so on.
Zhang Chi didn't want to hear what he was hearing. It was not as exciting as the way we Chinese people curse, especially the old women.
The whole party lasted for almost an hour and a half. After a group of gentlemen got tired of scolding those pigs and idiots in White House, they drove back to their homes one by one to find their respective mothers.
When Zhang Chi returned to the ranch, he saw the lights on in the warehouse at a glance. He parked the car at the door. When Zhang Chi got out of the car, he found Cannon stacking hay alone in the warehouse.
"Don't work today, go to bed early, and work again tomorrow. The work cannot be completed in one day."
Zhang Chi said to Cannon.
Cannon turned around and saw Zhang Chi coming, smiled and said casually: "It's okay, the work here is much easier than the pasture where I stayed."
Cannon was telling the truth. The work at Zhangchi Ranch was indeed lighter than the work he had done before. The main reason was that all the cattle in Zhangchi were grazing. There was no need to rush to the cowshed at night. The cows did not enter the cowshed. Naturally,
There is no need to shovel shit or add ingredients in the middle of the night, which saves Cannon a lot of time.
For a cowboy working on a ranch, there is no chance of sleeping for eight consecutive hours a day. Everyone sleeps in sections, almost at midnight, gets up at four o'clock, and then starts the day's work. In the morning, most of the work is done.
After finishing the work, find time to get obsessed with it for an hour or so, then get up and work again. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, go to sleep for an hour or two, and then wake up and work until eleven or twelve o'clock.
Zhang Chi's current work in the ranch is like a holiday for Cannon. Can it be considered hard work just to do some grass at the end of the day? Then don't other people's cowboys have to hang themselves?
"No matter how easy it is, you still have to take a rest." Zhang Chi said and also entered the warehouse to help with the work.
After a while, Cannon asked: "BOSS, how was the party?"
"It's okay. If I don't go, I don't know that there are still many subsidies that I haven't received yet," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon laughed and said, "I can do ranch work, but I don't know about these things. After all, I have never run a ranch."
"I'm in business, but those things are really complicated and messy. When I heard more than 20 items, my head got a little bigger," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Cannon didn't know what the big head meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he got a rough idea.
"If you're not a lawyer, you really can't figure it out," Cannon laughed.
Zhang Chi nodded: "That's true!"
The taxes here in the United States are messy, not only in detail but also in detail. If you have a little bit of wealth, that is, a middle-class person, you will be confused when filing taxes without the help of an accountant. Now even applying for it requires a specialized lawyer.
I don’t know whether this law is for the common people or for these lawyers and accountants to make money.
Cannon was working here, and Zhang Chi was too embarrassed to go back to sleep. Besides, he wasn't too sleepy at the moment.
Who would have thought that the two of them would be busy working until twelve o'clock.
He dragged his tired body back to the house. Just as he was about to enter the house, he turned on the light. Zhang Chi discovered that Er Gou, Daniu, and Er Hu were actually together. The three guys didn't know what they were eating. After watching
It was a little bloody all at once, like a field mouse or a rabbit.
He was really a little tired, so Zhang Chi didn't care so much. He went directly into the house and took a shower, then lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
The next day, he vaguely heard movement in the house. When he opened his eyes and left the bedroom, Zhang Chi found that Cannon had already gotten up and was getting coffee in the kitchen.
"Woke you up?"
Cannon asked.
Looking at Cannon, he definitely didn't look like he had just woken up.
"So early?"
"You're used to it. You can sleep a little longer. I have no problem doing this by myself now," Cannon said.
How can Zhang Chi have the nerve to sleep anymore? It's not that he doesn't have the consciousness to be a boss, but that he feels that he has spent so little money and always asking people to work like an old cow is a bit unjustifiable.
So Zhang Chi stopped sleeping and put on his clothes and riding boots. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he made himself a bowl of cereal and boiled two eggs.
After stuffing my stomach, I started working with Cannon.
After doing this, it was past nine o'clock. Zhang Chi and Cannon were both too tired, so they came back to take a rest and eat something to replenish their energy.
Zhang Chi checked his phone while eating and saw a new email. When he opened it, he found that it was from Leonard, which naturally contained some required application materials.
This thing is quite complete. I worked hard for a while and sent the information to Leonard before continuing to eat.
Before we even had sex, the phone came to mind again.
I took it out and saw that it was from Beni. Then I remembered that I had agreed with someone last night to let them come to my pasture to see the cows.
"Are you at the door? Come in."
After putting down the phone and tidying up a little, Zhang Chi waited for Beni to come over.
Standing under the eaves, he saw three or four people riding horses into the pasture. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that it was not just Beni but someone else.
So he was lassoed on Chi Yanshan, and Zhang Chi headed towards the group of people.
As he got closer, Zhang Chi discovered that these people were not only ranchers, but also two ranch managers.
There is a ranch manager who manages a large ranch, with more than 8,000 acres. It is considered a relatively large ranch here. The owner is the CEO of a technology company. He is not well-known in China, and his reputation in the United States is not very high either.
There is a huge gap between people like Musk, but he is still a boss after all, and cannot be compared to small ranchers like Zhang Chi.
However, none of this had anything to do with him. No matter how big the ranch manager was, Zhang Chi couldn't tease others. He greeted them politely, and everyone rode towards the cattle.
At this moment, the cattle are no longer in the small forest at the entrance of the pasture, but have turned around and rushed to the west. The grass there grows quite tall, which also allows the original grass to slow down.
"The bald grass in your area grows quite strong. It's rare for bald grass to grow such thick leaves...".
Everyone lives on the ranch, and even if you don’t have a lot of money, you don’t dare to go to Liangshan. As soon as you entered the ranch, you were attracted by the large beard grass in Zhangchi Ranch.
It’s not that the grass in their pasture is not good, it’s that no one has ever seen giant grass with such thick leaves.
"I'm not sure. These weeds were already growing when I bought the pasture. There used to be some weeds, but then they became less and less."
Zhang Chi is half-truth and half-false. Anyway, it is the art of speaking. What is said is the same as what is not said. There is no substantive content even after talking a lot.
People like Beni also understand that no one in this world will teach others their little virtues. Who has been playing ranch for so many years without a little experience and skills?
It was the first time for Beni and others to come to Zhangchi's pasture. It was the first time they saw grass, and it was the first time they saw cows.
These people stood in front of Zhang Chi's cattle, and they all stared blankly.
"I heard you bought a culled calf?"
A manager looked at the cattle for a long time, then turned to Zhang Chi and asked.
Everyone knows what culling calves is. Generally speaking, they are slaughtered and sold for meat. The meat can’t be sold at a high price, because calves don’t have much meat. Although veal is more delicious,
Guan Jian is a calf and has no meat. Americans hate eating meatless things.
When this thing was brought to the restaurant table, the guests saw that it had nothing but bones. If they didn't curse, they would be considered good-natured.
The cows in front of me now don't look like calves that have been culled from the pasture. They are all fat and strong. Although there are some that are slightly thinner, this is completely different from culling calves.
This time Zhang Chi just laughed and said nothing.
"Can you treat it?"
another manager blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi sighed: "I know a little bit, but the medicine used to treat these calves is more expensive than these calves. If I hadn't just bought the ranch, I would definitely not use it. The average cost for a calf is three to four hundred."
knife".
"What medicine?"
"Chinese medicine," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi came up with these lies when he met Melika earlier. After Melika left, he refined them in his mind. He felt that it would be no problem to deceive these foreigners. Traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of the Chinese people.
It’s hard for others to say anything if we raise the banner now.
"Amazing".
When a group of ranchers heard about the traditional Chinese medicine used, they immediately felt that this thing was almost magic and they couldn't understand it.
