Chapter 92: Progress

Zhang Dawei finally became the boss, although there is only one employee under his hands, but he is also very satisfied.

The road has to be taken step by step, and now there is only one employee, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be many employees in the future.

Carlisle, a new employee, is also very satisfied with his salary, which is neither high nor low compared to the average cowboy. It is better to be stable, as long as he passes the probationary period, he can continue to work here all year round, and he can get paid in less than a week.

"David, is this your cow?" Carlisle suddenly felt a lot of pressure and asked with some uncertainty, "I don't think they're going to cost much." ”

A somewhat embarrassed Zhang Dawei smiled and said to Carlisle, "They're just experiments, and you know that if I could take care of them, I wouldn't have given you a salary of five hundred dollars a week, let alone food." ”

Although he was an employee of Zhang Dawei, Carlisle was not polite, "Many ranchers will provide such conditions, and I don't ask you for some unreasonable treatment." This is what I deserve, this is what I value!"

No wonder you're said to be good but not popular!

It's true that equality is important in the United States, but there are some things that are just words. Employees and bosses have an equal relationship, and sometimes this may be the case. But you are so straight-tempered and don't know how to be flexible, that is, a big-hearted boss like us doesn't care. If you are stingy, you must have kicked it away after exploiting the value!

"My job now is to repair the fence, but that won't stop us from starting to grow pasture. Now that he has come to work on the ranch, Carlisle quickly got into the groove and didn't slack off just because the boss was a rookie, "Your ranch didn't look like grass was planted before, and it took a lot of time. When the grass matures, I think it will take at least a year or more. Hurry up and plant the grass before spring arrives. ”

Of course, Zhang Dawei knows this, pasture grass is not an ordinary weed. Moreover, the grass needs to take root and have a well-developed root system. In less than a year or two, the grass will not be fully mature, so naturally it will not be said that a pasture has entered a normal state. Many ranch operations actually look at the quality of forage and the amount of forage yield.

"What kind of pasture grass is suitable for planting here?" Zhang Dawei only half-understood, so he humbly asked for advice, "Mexican corn grass or rye grass? or alfalfa, I think alfalfa should be good, one of the most popular pastures." ”

In his own area of expertise, Carlisle is still very confident, "Alfalfa is indeed a great forage, it is widely cultivated as fodder and forage all over the world, it is the king of forage. ”

Zhang Dawei was happy, because he had also heard of the famous alfalfa of the king of pastures.

As the leader of the forage world, its stems and leaves are rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and carotene, especially in the leaves. It is the high nutritional value of alfalfa itself that has achieved the reputation of "the king of forage".

Carlisle began to ask seriously about the composition of the soil, etc., and Zhang Dawei was stunned for a moment. Although he did a little homework, he was naturally much worse than the experienced Carlisle.

Fortunately, there is no problem, and his pasture is not a strong acid and alkaline soil. In addition, alfalfa is not strict with the soil, which naturally means that Zhang Dawei's pasture has chosen a good pasture, which is alfalfa!

Driving a broken pickup truck, Zhang Dawei took Carlisle for a brief tour of the ranch.

Carlisle gave his advice on where to build a cattle pen, where to use it as a grazing area, where to dig a well, and so on, and the old fellow came as soon as he opened his mouth. Sometimes Carlisle is also difficult to say particularly comprehensive and clear, but that is only because Carlisle has a very low level of education, he is not a scholar, but he has such a wealth of experience in his long career.

Holding the little white baby honestly sitting in the back seat, the little girl was very curious about this white-bearded grandfather, and thought this white-bearded grandfather was very interesting. She has a very long beard and likes to make faces with her.

"David, we were only able to raise ten cows initially. Carlisle looked at Zhang Dawei and said seriously, "You need to consider the carrying capacity of the pasture, I think your pasture soil is very good, and I believe that the pasture can grow well." But they've only just been planted, and they need time to grow. And you must not underestimate the amount of food that those cows eat, we can't hurt the grassroots. ”

Hearing Carlisle say this, Zhang Dawei naturally nodded, because he had also heard about these things.

"Have you decided what kind of cattle you want to raise?" Carlisle, although he is a cowboy and has a lot of experience, he is not a boss, so he will naturally follow the advice and arrangement of the boss, and will not jump into the line, "If you raise beef cattle, you can choose Angus cattle, Limousin cattle, St. Grudy cattle or Simmental cattle, they are all very good." ”

Zhang Dawei did not hesitate and immediately said, "Is Angus cattle more popular?"

Carlisle gave Zhang Dawei another popular science, not Angus cattle must be more popular, it still depends on the quality of beef. However, Carlisle also seems to be more fond of Angus cattle because of the relatively good quality, high meat yield and fast growth rate.

The choice of beef cattle is naturally Carlisle's recommendation is better, although Zhang Dawei has done some homework, but where can he be as experienced as Carlisle. For the development of the ranch, Zhang Dawei still has high hopes. Even if the ranch is just starting now, it seems that everything needs to be done from scratch, but Zhang Dawei has patience and develops slowly!

The small house where he used to live became Carlisle's residence, and Zhang Dawei still had to provide Carlisle with a residence. Because the cowboy is not a 9-to-5 job, he needs to stay on the ranch all the time, so naturally he has to live on the ranch.

Zhang Dawei also felt that he had saved some money, because it was not good to buy a house in the United States, but a property tax would be levied every year, and if the tax was stopped, the ownership of the house would belong to the U.S. government. Although the standard for collecting property taxes varies from state to state and from county to county within the state, it is basically one to three percent.

Zhang Dawei's money is not for nothing, now that he has moved, he will naturally 'downgrade' the old house. Even if the annual tax that should be paid by the old house is not high, it can be saved, and open source is very important, and it should also be reduced.

"Dad, does Grandpa Carlisle live in our house too?" the baby was very curious, and the little girl asked in a milky voice, "Is the car for Grandpa Carlisle?"

Zhang Dawei laughed, the baby is very 'short', and the little girl is also very stingy; this is also the nature of children, and many children are like this. Children are very anxious about their own things and want to snatch one of their lollipops. Because these little guys can only steal other people's things, and can't let others take away their good things!

"In the future, Grandpa Carlisle will help us with things, and he will help us raise cattle in the future. Zhang Dawei carried the little girl and said happily, "Baby, Grandpa Carlisle helps us herd cattle, we will go to your mother and your grandpa house in the future, Grandpa Carlisle can help us take care of the lazy sheep and help us take care of the house." ”

The baby is happy this time, every time he goes to his grandfather's house, the baby is very worried about the cattle in the cattle pen. Now that Grandpa Carlisle is on the ranch, the baby doesn't need to worry.

The old house baby does not live, and if the pickup is broken, the baby is not very important, because the baby has a better car.

It's natural to be happy, because it's better. The baby may not have so many feelings, but Zhang Dawei has more feelings, because his ranch has begun to start, and it has officially started. This is the reason why Zhang Dawei is happy, and he is confident enough that his ranch will get better and better, and his ranch will get bigger and bigger.

called Melissa and confirmed that she was coming to the ranch, Zhang Dawei was naturally happier, this is a period of rapid and stable development in career and love, and now they are constantly harvesting.

Xiaobai is running around happily in his new home, and Zhang Dawei is now nervously paying attention, really nervous.

"Ahem. ”

Seeing Xiaobai nesting restlessly in the corner, Zhang Dawei immediately coughed and reminded him.

Xiaobai looked at Zhang Dawei innocently, and then stood up. Slowly changing ground, it now thinks the stairs are better, so it lifts its legs.

But instinctively looked at the big master staring at it, so he gave up the instinctive intention to pee around the map.

New to a territory, a very satisfactory territory, Xiaobai naturally has some instincts. Instinctively wants to pee, this is Xiaobai's instinct. But there are times when instinct needs to be controlled, because you can't pee at home!

Zhang Dawei felt quite satisfied, Xiaobai, the little guy, had improved too much. Even if this little guy was very skinny and wild at first, but now he has slowly learned to control it, not completely according to his temperament.

It's a good progress, it doesn't matter if you pee around the house and enclose the territory, but don't be at home, Xiaobai has learned now!

Zhang Dawei is happy, and his mood is good.

Because of his career, because of his new home, because his children are growing up.

These are the reasons why he is extremely happy, and this is why he enjoys his current life!
