"By the way, came here today to buy a car?" Li Qiao asked at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi nodded: "I originally wanted to buy it, but the price is a little unbearable, and the price of the pickup has risen by 20% faster than half a year ago."

"Now the cars are rising, the parts factory has been flooded, by the way, I also make second-hand cars, what is your budget, I will pick and choose for you," Li Qiao said.

Zhang Chi reported his budget.

"Lump sum or installment?" Li Qiao asked.

"If it's right, pay it all at once," Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao listened and said, "Then you come with me, I'll pick you a good one."

As soon as Zhang Chi heard this, he followed Li Qiao to the second-hand car dealer next to him.

Otherwise, it's easy to do things with acquaintances, about the same age, almost the number of kilometers, the price of the car recommended by Li Qiao to Zhang Chi is really appropriate.

As for whether the fellow will see the fellow deceive you without discussion, Zhang Chi is not worried, because there is a contract when buying a car, if the car has been adjusted or something, then Zhang Chi will be happy, this is not a matter of changing a new car, it means that not half of the ranch has been given back to Zhang Chi.

As far as Zhang Chi's current budget is concerned, don't talk about what new cars in the past three or four years, in the end, Zhang Chi bought the old GMC, the horsepower is strong enough, and the five-liter six-cylinder engine is enough.

Fold his little Hyundai to Li Qiao, and after making up the difference, Zhang Chi picked up the car.

Li Qiao sent Zhang Chi to the parking lot.

"Brother Li, it's almost time now, I'll treat you to a meal, I'll trouble you with this matter," Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao said: "What's polite, we always have to take care of each other when we go abroad, this matter." By the way, what are you doing when you buy this car, if you want to drive it to save or a car, this guy is all oil tigers, and the current oil price is not cheap."

"I won't hide it from you, I have bought a small ranch now, and I can't use a car, otherwise I wouldn't have changed cars," Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Brother, keep up with the trend."

Zhang Chi smiled, he understood what the trend Li Qiao said, now that Chinese people come to the United States, many of them buy pastures or farms, and want to taste the addiction of farmers.

Now it's different from usual, in the past, many people came to the United States to brush dishes for their first job, but in recent years, all of them have come to the United States like their pockets are bulging and buying special purchases, either buying houses and land or luxury cars and watches, and a bunch of Americans who look at them are exclaiming: Chinese are so rich!

"Where do I follow the trend, I don't even have a house in that place now, now there is only a fence, and the rest is an egg," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Li Qiao listened and said, "Then where do you live?" ”

"My uncle said to give me his unused RV, I'll live there first, and then find someone to build it," Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao listened and said, "Is there a suitable construction team?" If not, I'll recommend one to you, it's also opened by our Chinese, the craftsmanship is really not said, and the price is cheap, cheaper than Lao Mo's construction team, the main thing is that the work is good, and our house was built by my friend."

"That's good, but Brother Li, I have to talk about it in advance, I can't take out a lot of money, do you want to have a cowshed or something in addition to the house, I can pay tens of thousands of yuan in total, do you think it will be difficult for your friend?" Zhang Chi said.

Having lived here for so many years, Zhang Chi is quite familiar with the construction part, if you want to build a house here, don't look for a white team, if you do, then you will know how rough this group of white Americans work.

To be honest, if these people go to China, they won't be able to catch up with the heat when they eat.

"There is less money, there is less money, there is more money, there is more money, there is more money, who is working hard outside, who doesn't know the hardships," Li Qiao said.

"Then please help me ask," Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao said: "Okay, where he lives is not far away, it's just over an hour's car from here, I'll help you ask later, by the way, let's add a WeChat."

Most Chinese people in the United States use WeChat, and many people also play the domestic version of Douyin, as for Tiktauk, it is rarely used.

"No, I'm still going to treat you to a meal, anyway, you have to eat at this time, right?" Zhang Chi felt that others had saved him thousands of yuan, and it was a bit unreasonable not to invite others to eat.

Li Qiao said: "I really don't have time, so let's do it, when your ranch is done, brother, I'll take our family to play."

"That's definitely no problem," Zhang Chi responded.

Just like that, the two chatted for a while, and then separated, Li Qiao went back to work, and Zhang Chi drove towards the uncle's restaurant in a new car.

When he arrived at the restaurant, it was the time to be busy, and Zhang Chi began to work as a small worker, helping the restaurant order and serve food.

Now Zhang Youliang's restaurant is all American-style Chinese food, what Zuo Zongtang chicken and the like, most of them are always sweet and sour, which is more in line with the taste of Americans. Of course, there will be no shortage of fortune cookies in Chinese restaurants, and Zhang Chi didn't know that there were such things in Chinese restaurants when he came.

However, over the years, the situation has also changed a little, with the increase of domestic economic strength, the word "China" that was previously unheard in the mouths of Americans has become more and more, and Americans have gradually begun to be curious about authentic Chinese food.

So Zhang Youliang's restaurant has launched some steamed buns, which are still quite popular with customers.

Originally, he had been doing this job for many years, so now Zhang Chi has no difficulty at all, and even some old customers saw that it was Zhang Chi and deliberately gave some more tips.

It was almost two o'clock when they were busy, and then they were free, and the four of them began to eat around the table.

Zhang Wu said at this time: "The red pickup truck outside the door is the car you bought?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Chi nodded, Zhang Wu said: "It's too broken, this car is not old, it's at least seven or eight years old, right?" ”

"It's about the same, but the car is in pretty good condition," Zhang Chi said.

The aunt stretched out her head to look at the pickup truck parked outside, and at a glance she knew that the car was some years old, because the appearance was a long time ago.

"If you want to buy it, buy a better one, this car looks" The aunt said again: "Child, don't keep thinking about saving, if you don't have enough money, your uncle and I can still help."

"Mom, I need your help now," Zhang Wu immediately said with a shy face when he heard this.

"You get out of the way, if you want to be as down-to-earth as Dachi, I'll help you."

Uncle also said at this time: "Don't worry too much about yourself in terms of money, we don't have more here, it's no problem to borrow 80,000 or 90,000 yuan from you."

Zhang Chi smiled when he heard this: "Thank you, uncle, auntie, but I am starting a business, if I invest 1.8 million, is it still called entrepreneurship, it's okay to work hard in the early stage."

"Listen to what other people say, you are a few years older than others, why don't you know what to do" When the aunt heard it, she immediately hated the iron and began to train her son again.

Zhang Wu glared at Zhang Chi: "You will show off!" ”

Ouch!

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked by the old lady with her hand.

Zhang Youliang didn't want to look at this unconscious second son, so he asked Zhang Chi, "When are you going to move?" ”

"I'm going to move in tomorrow, and the apartment over there will be refunded when I go back, and an extra day of living is a day's money," Zhang Chi said.

No matter how cheap the rent is, it also costs money, and now Zhang Chi can't wait to break a penny into two flowers.

Zhang Youliang said: "Then tomorrow we will be closed for a day to help Dachizi move."

"Don't, don't, uncle, where is my little thing worth being so excited, a few cardboard boxes will leave as soon as they are loaded," Zhang Chi said immediately.

Zhang Youliang said: "That's not good, you can not go to other things, we must go tomorrow when you officially move, don't worry, making money is not in this day or two."

"Not really!" Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Youliang said: "This matter is so decided, tomorrow I will go to see your ranch, and by the way, I will also recognize the door."

Hearing what the uncle said, Zhang Chi had nothing to say, so he could only nod.

After eating, Zhang Chi hung the small trailer in the backyard of his uncle's house to the pickup truck, returned to the apartment and began to pack his things.

Originally, I didn't look at many things, but this one I found that there were really a lot, and a small trailer was stuffed.

I cleaned the room, stayed for the last night, and returned the key to the apartment keeper the next morning, and then drove to the restaurant.

When I arrived at the door, I found that the uncle and aunt, with their cousin, were already waiting, and when they saw Zhang Chi arrive, they immediately greeted them.

Just like that, Zhang Chi drove the pickup truck and dragged the RV in front, and Zhang Youliang's family of three followed behind in a pickup truck.

After driving for twenty minutes one after the other, we began to enter the mountains.

There is a small town where Zhang Chi bought the ranch, called Amber, the town is not big, a road runs through it, and there are more than a dozen households in the whole town, there is a gas station, a small bar, and a small restaurant, and there is no business other than that.

There were very few people, and I drove for nearly an hour on the way, and I saw only four or five cars.

Zhang Chi's ranch is not next to the town, but from the trail in the center of the town to the mountains, the front part of the road is fine, narrow but still cement road.

The road leading to Zhangchi Ranch from the cement road is not so good, it is not so good to praise it, it is directly a dirt road, it is obviously not long after it was opened, and the yellow mud on the road looks a little new.

On this road, the speed of the car couldn't help but drop, from the original thirty or forty kilometers to twenty kilometers down.

Walking on such a road, the car begins to sway from side to side, like a child sitting on a rocking car.

Although the road is not good, the scenery on the left and right is absolutely amazing.

On both sides of the road are towering trees, each large enough for two people to hug, and all of them are evergreen trees that do not lose their leaves all year round.

If you pay a little attention, you can see one or two squirrels crouching on the branches, looking curiously at the two cars driving on the road.

When I was about to reach the gate of the ranch, there were still a few deer on the road, and when I saw the car, not only did not know how to avoid it, but they also stretched out their heads and looked at the car with a curious face, as if they were the owners here.

Zhang Chi honked the horn, and a few deer on the road took small steps leisurely to make their debut, and they didn't go far, but stood on the side of the road and watched the vehicles until they disappeared, and they crossed the dirt road again.

At the end of the road, it is the gate of Zhang Chi Ranch.
