"Okay, I understand." Zhang Chi thought for a moment and then solved the problem.
When Cannon heard what Zhang Chi said, he stopped talking.
The two continued to modify the new snow gathering machine. This time the modification was very fast. Because of the experience last time, the two of them modified the new snow gathering machine in more than two hours.
After trying it out, Cannon pushed the snow machine and started working.
Zhang Chi won't be able to do it anymore, because his arms will ache whenever he works. The last situation seems to have formed muscle memory.
Commonly known as - laziness!
The sun went down, and I didn't think it had any heat at first, but as soon as it went down, the coldness immediately became rampant.
Zhang Chi had packed up his things, and saddles and bridles had been prepared on the Chiyan Mountain side. Not only that, he was afraid that the Chiyan Mountain would freeze, so he made the sweat pad thicker and even wrapped his belly, which made him look a little a little bit uncomfortable.
It's bloated, but now the horses outside can't run even if they want to. The snow is up to the horse's joints, let alone running. Even walking is difficult for the horse.
Roll the cold-proof sleeping bag into a roll, stuff it into the bag, and tie it to the belt on the back. Divide the remaining items into two small bags and hang them on both sides of the horse's hips.
At this moment, Zhang Chi was also fully armed, with a jacket for extreme cold protection on the outside, a thick sweater on the inside, thick thermal underwear under the sweater, cold and waterproof trousers on the outside, a thermal jacket on the inside, and a pair of high-top riding boots on his feet.
, the strap goes all the way down to the knees, and the bottom of the whip is also made of thick beef tendon.
He wears a pair of non-slip black cotton gloves on his hands and a cotton LF hat on his head. This thing is worn in China, but it belongs to the fashion circle. Foreigners look very handsome, even better than a cowboy hat.
It's more windy.
After getting on the horse, Zhang Chi pulled up his cotton scarf to cover his nose, put on his goggles, and lightly nudged Chiyan Mountain.
As soon as Chi Yan Mountain moved, the big cows and two tigers beside them also started running happily.
Zhang Chi, who was sitting firmly on the horse's back, was now as straight as a javelin, holding the rein with one hand, and the other hand hanging naturally by his side, and his body swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the horse's back.
This is the standard western riding method. Cowboys sit on the horse and keep it like this unless necessary, because this way the center of gravity of their body and the horse can remain unchanged. In this case, the horse will make its own judgment.
, the cowboy will not become a burden to the horse during exercise.
"BOSS!"
When passing the bullpen, Cannon stood at the door and said hello to Zhang Chi.
"Is something wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want you to be careful. The temperature outside is not low now. Don't take off your clothes just because it's a little hot. You'd rather be hotter than colder."
Cannon is a little worried about his boss. Cannon is very satisfied with his job now. Firstly, his boss is not too busy and has full trust in him. Secondly, the boss is not careful and always gives more or less to himself every time he gets income.
A little bonus, which he didn't often get when he worked before.
Therefore, the boss's body and his pocket are closely connected, so Cannon naturally has to think about the boss's safety.
"I understand, don't worry, it's not my first time going out."
Zhang Chi smiled and waved to Cannon, then continued to urge Chiyan Mountain forward.
After leaving the ranch gate, Zhang Chi turned directly onto the horse track and walked straight along the horse track. In a short time, he arrived at the gate of Serriol's ranch.
The horse track is easy to walk because there are trees on both sides of the horse track. Tall and lush trees. In addition to deciduous trees, there are also a large number of evergreen trees. These trees block most of the snow, so the snow on the horse track is
It is only less than ten centimeters thick, and there are usually no people walking around at the moment, so there is no chance of it slipping or freezing.
"George!"
At this time, Serior's eldest son Garcia and younger son Miller were already waiting. Not only did they bring things, but there were also two children sitting in front of the horse. Both brothers brought their own sons.
After saying hello to the two of them, Zhang Chi smiled and said to the two children.
Garcia's son is named Harris, who is about ten years old this year. Miller's son Yang, who was sick last time, is younger.
Now the two little guys were sitting in front of the saddle like rubber balls, holding the horse's mane tightly with their hands.
The two children greeted Zhang Chi one after another.
Both Garcia and Miller are now riding a pure quarter horse, with a large shooting star on their nose and forehead, like twins.
"Where are Nell and Burris?"
Zhang Chi asked.
"They are in front".
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chi mobilized the Red Flame Mountain.
Brothers Garcia and Miller followed.
However, the two brothers' eyes fell on the Daniels and Two Tigers next to them. They also brought their own cattle dogs. However, their cattle dogs usually looked quite big and strong, but when they came to the Daniels and Two Tigers,
As soon as they leaned together, it was like Sa Beining and Yao Ming were standing together.
The Serrio family's cattle dogs are medium-sized dogs, but the Bull and Tiger are now firmly giant dogs, and their shoulder height is not low even among Great Danes.
The most important thing is the manes on the necks of the two dogs, which make them look stronger and stronger, like a dog with strong muscles.
"Is Erhu pregnant?"
Miller was the first to ask Zhang Chi for a puppy, and now he eagerly thought about carrying a big-assed child back.
Miller's pronunciation of the two Chinese characters for "Erhu" is very authentic.
"How do I know this? Don't worry. I'll definitely have one for you when the puppies are born," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you the good news. The price of live cattle has gone up a little today," Garcia said.
"Oh, I haven't paid attention to the cattle price for several days. How high has it gone?" Zhang Chi asked.
Miller replied: "It's less than two and a half dollars."
"Oh, that's not big," Zhang Chi said.
The overall cattle price is currently maintained at around 2.5 yuan, and has been fluctuating slightly around this price. It seems that the cattle price is quite stable.
But Zhang Chi believed that Melika must know something, so she kept waiting for the cattle price to rise back.
"Aren't you going to do something?" Garcia asked.
Zhang Chi said: "If it doesn't go out, I always feel that the price can go up a bit."
The brothers Garcia and Miller were speechless after hearing this. They felt that the price would be about the same this winter, but whether to sell the cattle or not is Zhang Chi's business. The judgment of the price of cattle is also everyone's own business. In this matter
No one will say anything more, let alone persuade.
If this advice fails, it will be very annoying.
The three cavalrymen walked almost side by side, discussing the price of cattle as they walked. Of course, they had to make some predictions about the price of cattle next year.
This kind of judgment affects how every rancher operates the ranch next year. If the price of live cattle is judged to be low next year, then everyone will reduce some cattle and add more sheep or other livestock, or replace them with cattle with higher economic value.
kind.
However, this thing doesn't mean much to Zhang Chi. The only thing that can affect him is the price of the calf. He will not spend more than three hundred dollars to buy a well-bred cow.
With this money, he might as well feed him a few more gourd pulps. Once the price of meat increases, the price difference will be wiped out by him.
This matter cannot be discussed, so Zhang Chi has to listen with open ears in most cases.
The three horses kept moving forward along the horse track. After walking for a while, they started to trot. The three of them urged the horses to trot while chatting in the distance, which proved that the three of them had good horse skills.
When approaching the foot of the mountain, Zhang Chi saw a lantern.
The sound of three people's hoofbeats attracted the attention of the people next to the lantern.
"Is it Miller, George?"
Ricardo's voice came over.
Miller responded with a smile: "Who else but us?"
While talking, Zhang Chi and others had already arrived in front of Nell.
There is also a child sitting on Nel's horse. No need to ask, this is Nel's son Nelson. Zhang Chi has never seen the little guy before, and you can't tell because he is wrapped like a brown man, but the little guy has big eyes.
, the eyelashes are very long, as long as a porcelain doll.
"George".
Nell smiled at Zhang Chi and said hello, and when the two horses crossed each other, they high-fived each other.
Next, two groups moved together, and everyone continued to move forward along the horse path.
Now you have to climb a few small hills and then reach the public pasture. This pasture is owned by the government, but the area is not large, only more than 5,000 acres.
Thirty thousand acres of land is not very large. If it were placed in China, it would be considered Versailles. However, if placed in the west, especially on public pasture, it is not very large.
A medium-sized pasture would be about the same size as this land.
Because the land is not large, there are almost no wild horses in this pasture. Most of the time, only herds of bison and deer live here.
There are herbivores and it is relatively close to the surrounding private ranches, so this is also a favorite place for coyotes.
Coyote hunting is a public welfare activity here. No matter how many you kill, no one will criticize you.
This was in the past, but now there are always some well-fed environmentalists coming to hold banners and promoting nonsense such as that coyotes are also living beings and are masters of nature.
People here don't believe it, because coyotes pose a threat to their lives, and anyone who threatens their money will be defeated at once.
The environmentalists who come here are also very sensible. They don't have the craziness of big cities. If you have played here or rushed to someone's house, the ranchers and cowboys will not be very polite and shoot.
It is generally impossible to beat you to death. Cowboys are human beings and generally do not regard human life as trivial, but they will not be soft at all when they beat you on the leg.
After coming here a few times, these people will know that their safe range of activities is the public area, and it is best if you don't block other people's way.
There are more bad tempers among cowboys than there are sissies in the city.
Even if he doesn't shoot, it's not unusual at all for him to punch you.
Facts have proved that environmentalists are also afraid of being beaten. If you protest, I will beat mine, and both parties do their own work.
"Vak!"
When everyone arrived at the place, they looked at the wooden platform that had been knocked down and couldn't help but cursed.
The wooden platform was pulled down. It was obvious that the people who did this couldn't be the cowboys nearby, but the environmentalists. It couldn't have been crushed by the snow, because each of the pillars of the wooden platform was thirty years old.
If the snow is only a few centimeters thick, it can crush them, which is called a snow disaster.
