Chapter 37 Purchase of ranch necessities
Tracy and Anastasia were eating, compared to Anastasia, who had an elegant sitting posture, Tracy was obviously a standard American woman, with one foot still on the bench when eating, and then the eating appearance was really not much worse than Athos, as if she was starving to death.
"Hello Mr. West!" Anastasia swallowed the food in her mouth and stood up and said very ladylikely.
"Hello owner, let's have dinner together?" There's still something in Tracy's mouth, so she just opens her mouth to speak, but fortunately Gossi is standing far away, otherwise this rice dregs must have squirted all over the face.
However, Gao Xi is also a rural child, and he doesn't have so many rules, so he is not disgusted by Tracy's eating appearance, but smiles at Tracy: "Try the dumplings I made myself, this thing is not often eaten in the United States." ”
"Really? Then you must try it. Tracy originally just planned to give Gao Xi a face, just taste one, who knew that after eating a dumpling in his mouth, the look in his eyes was different, and he hurriedly grabbed a few more and threw them into his mouth.
"Delicious! Delicious! It's so delicious, what are you doing here?"
"Yesterday I shot a wild boar, pork filling, it tastes okay?"
"Good, good, not only good, this smell is too special, fragrant! It's just addictive. Tracy is exaggerating, probably because she doesn't eat dumplings very often, but although the dumplings made of porcupine are indeed delicious, they are not so exaggerated.
Anyway, Gao Xi thinks so, maybe it's because he eats too many dumplings?
"Is it that delicious, I'll try it." Athos was already nibbling on the chicken thighs, but at this time he couldn't help but come over and take a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
What happened next was a bit of a surprise to Gao Xi, the dumplings were wiped out by a few cowboys in an instant, and I was afraid that they would not be used to eating it, because I heard that Americans don't seem to eat pork.
"Owner, are those four guys your pets? It's so powerful that the shepherd dogs we train don't dare to bark. ”
After eating, Tracy was fascinated by the four puppies, but unfortunately these four little ones were only close to Gaucy, and they were not interested in her show of affection at all.
"They're Lightning, Team America, Batman, and Snow White! And I have a Hulk in my house, and you'll be even more surprised when you see it, that guy looks like a cougar. Gao Xi introduced it to everyone.
When introduced, the four little ones actually screamed separately, and then looked proud, as if they were very satisfied with the name given to them by their master, Gao Xi.
I think Snow White thought that the name was wrong at the beginning, but now she readily accepts it, and it is particularly stinky and beautiful.
"These dogs are all breeds different, aren't they?"
"No, they are all Chinese pastoral dogs, well, they are commonly known as earth dogs in our place!" Gao Xi smiled.
"God! It's amazing that dogs of the same breed can grow completely different characteristics. It's a genetic mutation, right?" Tracy said in surprise.
"Maybe, but these four little ones are very smart, so I'll bring them all." Gossey smiled, this Tracy was really a little to the point.
"By the way, Mr. West, are you free now?"
"Well, I'm free!"
"I'll take you around when you have time, there are some things in the ranch that need to be added, and it's up to you to decide whether to buy them or not." Kent said.
"Well, of course that's fine." Gossi had wanted to talk to the cowboys about this for a long time, and these cowboys were definitely more familiar with the ranch than he did, so it was much better to let these people give some advice than to think about it himself.
So Clark drove a quad bike, Gocy and Kent sat in the back, Snow White sat in Gosse's arms, and the other three little ones ran with the car, Tracy and they had other things, so they didn't follow, Kent was their leader, and if Gocy had any requirements, just tell Kent.
Kent first took Gaucy to see the cattle pen, because Thomas Ranch only raised beef cattle before, so there was basically no need to buy too many things in this regard, and the design of the cattle pen was very reasonable.
It was only during the discussion that Kent told Gaucy that the number of beef cattle could be increased appropriately, enough to reach two thousand, which would be easier to manage.
Gao Xi agreed with his suggestion, he didn't dare to ask for too many beef cattle because he was worried about cowboys and pasture, and the key point is that the funds are not too much at the moment, and they must be saved. However, for now, only a few beef cattle need to be added, which can be agreed.
Next, Kent took Gaucy to see the warehouse, hay storehouse, large garage and other places, explained in detail the purpose of each place, and said what needed to be repaired and what needed to be replaced.
He just suggested that it was easy to talk about it, but Gao Xi would have to spend money.
But as Kent said, in fact, the things left over from Thomas Ranch are good, if you change to another ranch and leave you with an empty shell, you have to buy everything, it will really tire you to death.
In the process, Gao Xi came up with the idea of diversifying breeding, especially wanting to raise some horses, sheep and the like.
"It's okay for sheep, because the living environment of sheep is relatively close to that of cattle, so it is easy to get it. Horses are a little troublesome, now the horse is basically to provide racing horses for the horse farm, can not raise too much, but also to prepare a series of things such as stables, these I will make a list later, if Mr. West thinks it is okay, I will go to purchase, it should be cheaper. Kent thought for a moment.
Gossi understood what Kent meant, after all, Kent was an old cowboy, and he knew a lot of people here, and he had a lot of contact, so if he went to buy it, everything should be cheaper.
So Gao Xi said that there was no problem, but the specific income and expenditure situation needed a detailed bill. It's not that he doesn't believe Kent, the key is that he is in business, and he definitely can't do it without an account book, and I don't know if Dong Chen brought the accountant back, Dong Chen said that he went out to do things this morning, and one of the things should be to bring the accountant back.
Although Gao Xi can settle accounts, if this ranch is big, but it needs a professional financial management, he definitely can't.
Leave professional things to professionals to do, this is his style, and it is not in line with his character to take care of everything. If you don't have that ability, you won't do that porcelain job.
"Of course that's fine." Kent is not afraid of shadows, keeping accounts is bookkeeping, he didn't want to take kickbacks from it, after all, he just worked under the hands of this new owner, no one is like causing trouble, and it is better to wait for a salary increase than anything else.
Clark drove Kent and Gotsie back to the cowboy camp on a quad bike, and then Gossi went there to chat with a few cowboys and learn about the specific operation of the ranch by the way, and as for Kent, he called Clark to discuss with Tracy, who was good at horse herding.
The ones who stayed with Gosse were Anastasia and Athos.
Through chatting with these two people, Gao Xi gradually learned what kinds of beef cattle are in the United States, what kind of horses are generally raised for horses, and where sheep are to be sold. Although it was only a matter of details, this was not known to Gao Xi before, and today it can be regarded as an eye-opener.
After chatting for about half an hour, Kent and the others came out, still holding a few pieces of paper in their hands, which should be a list of items needed.
