Section 19: Gun Shop
"Boss, did you encounter anything happy about?"
Kerry, who was packing straw, poked his head out of the tractor and said loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Yes, something happy happened." Ye Mu smiled and said, "Why are you working, your father muttered?" ”
Carey stopped the tractor and said, "My father drank too much yesterday, and I don't know if he is up now." ”
Ye Mu climbed onto the tractor, sat in the passenger seat, and said, "Teach me how to use this guy." ”
“OK。 It's a simple thing......"
Ye Mu has been working on the farm for seven years, and has always fed cattle and has no access to the farm's machinery and equipment. Now that I have my own farm, I can finally have a good time.
Kerry got out of the cab, Ye Mu sat down, and started moving.
When the tractor is driven up, the straw baler hanging behind automatically converges the straw on the ground, enters the hydraulic area through the conveyor track, compresses the straw into a rectangle of the same size, and stacks it neatly in a row.
Ye Mu likes the vast fields, which gives people a feeling of being open-minded.
Back at home, Anna made breakfast, a Western-style burger. Half of Zhang Dongsheng's face was swollen, looking like a half-faced scholar, and he was smoking cold air on the sofa and using eggs to warm it.
"You're too ruthless."
"Well, it doesn't matter, I'll help you?" Ye Mu sat down embarrassedly, and Zhang Dongsheng really handed over the eggs to Ye Mu.
"Tap, it hurts." Zhang Dongsheng's delicate and pretentious soft appearance, Ye Mu had goosebumps on his hands, and heard his cry again: 'Uh-huh, uh-hu......h, uh-huh'.
The egg in Ye Mu's hand almost smashed him in the face: "I'm really a dog, how can I have a friend like you." ”
"Damn!"
Anna has long been accustomed to the behavior of the two, good friends. If you change to someone else, you will think that the two of you are doing it.
After breakfast, Zhang Dongsheng wanted to go to see the ranch and pulled Ye Mu over to be a staff officer.
Zhang Dongsheng's eyesight ranch is in Siggs Town. East and West Gus was originally a town, but later separated from the two towns of East Gus and West Gus, at the southern end of Park Town, only half an hour's drive from Conrad County, and the transportation is much more convenient than Park Town. Because of this, the town of Siggs looks a little more backward, with only one country road to the town's office, a smaller population, and almost no concentrated population settlements. All of them are based on pastures, and they live far from each other.
The dirt roads in the countryside are potholed and bumpy in their priming. Zhang Dongsheng's driving speed is not slow, and it is like off-road in the countryside.
In this way, when the bones were about to fall apart, they finally came to their destination.
The ranch that Zhang Dongsheng has his eye on is in the middle of the Siggs Plain, where there are twenty or thirty large and small pastures. The 3,000-acre ranch he had his eye on was a medium-sized ranch, and there was some people around it.
Arriving at the ranch, a pickup truck stopped at the gate of the rusty ranch, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car, he is a real estate agent in Conrad County, and this ranch is considered the best quality property in his hands.
Everyone got to know each other a little.
Avano opened the gate of the ranch: "The ranch has been abandoned for more than a year, and I regularly call people to come and clean it, and the situation inside is not too bad, and people can live in it after cleaning it up." ”
There are not many trees in the ranch, except for a few large North American red leaf trees around the house. The house is an old two-story western-style building with red bricks and black tiles, and when Avano opened the door, it was freshly cleaned up, the floor was clean, and the furniture was furnished, but the electrical appliances and kitchen utensils were empty. This house has a similar layout to the house where Ye Mu lives, with a spacious double-story living room, an eye-catching fireplace, and a gym. However, compared to the gym in Ye Mu's house, this place is too small.
The staircase is a wooden structure, and there are three rooms on the second floor. There is also the attic, the small triangular utility room.
Coming out of the house, I went to the cattle farm, where there were five cowsheds, and outside there were two single-storey houses where the workers lived.
The cowshed was large, empty inside, with many holes in the roof. The wooden beams have also been mothed, and it will take some effort to rebuild them.
Finally, there are the meadows, the hard soil of the plateau area, which is relatively barren. In addition to growing pasture grass and grazing cattle and sheep, the land here is not of much use. However, two warehouses are well preserved, a granary and a mechanical warehouse.
There are three high-power tractors from the seventies in the machine warehouse, which can still be used after repair. As for its pendant, it's rusty, and if you repair it, it's better to buy brand new equipment, it's almost worthless.
Zhang Dongsheng has seen this place, and he has also seen other pastures, and his favorite is this, because it is big enough.
Then it's time for bargaining.
The asking price of 3,000 acres of pasture is 3.6 million, 3 million is the price of the land, and 600,000 is the value of the property. Local land, $1,000 per acre, which is the price of medium-quality land. The ranch has been unmanaged for more than a year, and the quality of the land is clearly not up to standard. The ranch building is also a truth, abandoned and in need of renovation.
After some bargaining, it was finally sold for $3.37 million.
Sign the contract to go to the county seat.
Avano's company on the outskirts of the county, Ye Mu went to hire a lawyer, Zhang Dongsheng was only responsible for signing, and the rest of the matter was handed over to the lawyer.
"If Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ye are bored, I will take them to the shooting range for a while. A wide variety of weapons ......"
"Shooting range, is there a gun shop?" Ye Mu asked.
"Absolutely." Avano smiled and said, "Behind the gun shop is the shooting range, which is the gun shop opened by my cousin, buying guns and applying for hunter licenses...... One-stop service. ”
The United States is a country where guns are rampant, and almost everyone has a gun. But that's the average, it's distributed among individuals, and some people have arsenals at home that can fight a small battle. There are also many people who have not even touched a gun......
Ye Mu has been in the United States for seven years and has already obtained a green card, but he lives in a relatively populous place in California, so he naturally has no chance to play with guns.
Driving a Wrangler, following Avano's instructions, he parked in a parking lot outside a police station. Get off the bus and walk, right next door to the police station, a shop that looks very ordinary from the outside. No floor-to-ceiling windows, closed shop, a glass windowed door.
Push it in, and suddenly the feeling of dazzle.
There were two waiters standing at the entrance of the station, with pistols pinned to their waists, which were very eye-catching. The layout inside is the same as that of a supermarket, with three rows of shelves in the middle, but the goods on the shelves are boxes of yellow bullets. Walking straight into the counter, a 'concave' counter.
The walls inside the counter are covered with guns......
The wall next to the entrance is a little more normal, and on one side hangs well-known signs such as outdoor goods, military uniforms, and military boots. On the other side, there is a military kettle, a military knife, and a dagger......
There are few customers in the store, and they push carts, load boxes of bullets onto the cart like picking up cabbage, and then go to the counter to pay as if nothing happened.
"Hi my dear cousin, why do you have time to come and see me today." A fat man with a tattoo on his neck on a beer belly walked over, opened his hand, and hugged Avano.
"Bring two guests over to pass the time. This is Mr. Ye, the owner of Huaxi Farm. This is Mr. Zhang, the owner of the Albers Ranch. ”
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhang, welcome to the shop. Just take a look at it, and you can take whatever you like to the shooting range behind you to play. I don't like it, and there's a big guy in the back. ”
Ye Mu picked out a British-made precision international AX308, which was a high-precision sniper rifle that had just arrived. Zhang Dongsheng wanted a big guy and went to the shooting range empty-handed. There are many guns to choose from at the range, M16 assault rifles, AK47, M2 heavy machine guns......
Zhang Dongsheng selected an M2 heavy machine gun and two chain bullets, and asked Anna to take a photo of him, but before he fired, he had already sent the photo to the WeChat circle of friends.
