Chapter 15: Seeing the Land
After bathing Chiyan Mountain, Zhang Chi himself took advantage of the situation to take a dip in the river, waiting for one person and one horse to go ashore, the horse was naked, almost naked.
Back next to the RV, Zhang Chi changed into clean clothes and began to dry the water on Chiyanshan.
I wiped it very carefully, and I didn't let it go anywhere, especially the back of the horse's ears, as well as the four hooves and armpits, anyway, as long as Zhang Chi saw the place, he carefully went through it with a towel.
Chiyanshan also enjoyed this kind of service, and when Zhang Chi dried it, Chiyanshan also lowered his horse's head and used his horse's mouth to gently tickle Zhang Chi's back.
The one who gets along with one horse is called harmony.
However, a burst of electronic prompts broke the warm picture.
Zhang Chi put the towel on Chiyan Mountain's back, turned around and came to the small table, reached out and pressed the screen of the table, and glanced at who sent the message.
Originally, he didn't plan to pick it up, but when he saw that it was sent by Li Qiao, he reached out and picked up his mobile phone.
"Brother, what's going on over there?" Li Qiao asked.
Zhang Chi understood that this enthusiastic Brother Li was talking about building a house for himself, so he replied: "People will come over in the next few days, but the specific day has not been determined."
Just wanted to put down his phone, but found that Li Qiao's information came quickly.
"Why is this person like this, you wait for me to urge him, why did the originally very cheerful person procrastinate this time, you don't tell me, you have to tell me that I have already urged him......."
Li Qiao replied.
Zhang Chi was really made fun of this Brother Li, who had known him for a short time, and felt that this person was okay, not to mention anything else, just saying that this enthusiasm made people feel warm in their hearts.
"I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Chi said.
"It's not a matter of always housing a car, wait a while, I'll call him, this old boy is a lamp, if you don't light it, you can't turn it on" Li Qiao replied.
Zhang Chi waited for more than ten seconds and saw no reply, so he continued to finish Chiyan Mountain.
As soon as I put down my towel, I heard the phone ring.
After answering the phone, he apologized first, and then said that he would come over tomorrow to see the land situation on Zhang Chi's side.
Zhang Chi naturally had no opinion, and hung up the phone after two polite calls with this person.
Next, Zhang Chi has to fill his stomach, as for Chiyan Mountain? It's not enough to make grass all over the ground, where does Zhang Chi worry about what it eats.
Untied its bridles and saddles, Red Flame Mountain stumbled around the pasture at will, but probably in a new environment, it didn't go far, just quietly lowered its head near the small mound and gnawed on the weeds on the ground.
Zhang Chi cooked instant noodles for himself, added a meat sausage, and dealt with today's meal.
As soon as it got dark at night, Zhang Chi got into the RV, swiped the video to see if there was any new auction information today, felt sleepy and turned off the lantern, and fell asleep on the bed.
In the morning, Zhang Chi was talking to Zhou Gong's daughter about ideals and conversations, and suddenly a crisp knock on the door woke Zhang Chi up.
I opened my eyes and looked around, and my mind was foggy.
Knock knock!
Listening to the knock on the door again, Zhang Chi followed the sound and looked over and found a huge head pestle outside the window of his RV.
Taken aback!
When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was Chiyan Mountain.
Now this guy is turning his face sideways, looking at Zhang Chi in the car with his huge horse eyes open.
"You kid doesn't sleep, what are you doing knocking on my window, that's what that old bastard Mason taught you before?" Zhang Chi lifted the quilt on his body and got out of bed, muttering in his mouth as he got up.
Knock knock!
"Don't knock, don't you see it," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi didn't know that a horse in Chiyan Mountain felt a little lonely outside, it wanted to have a living creature to accompany him now, and the entire ranch was a living creature except for himself, but who did he come to find Zhang Chi?
Zhang Chi got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, and when Chiyanshan saw Zhang Chi coming out, he ran to a place not far from Zhang Chi and continued to gnaw on the grass.
At this moment, the sun has jumped out of the eastern ridge, the sun is already a little hot, it is not suitable for the eyes to see, the whole pasture is bright, the birds in the treetops are constantly chirping and noisy, I don't know whether it is full of food, or discussing where there is something to eat, in short, endlessly.
This morning, Zhang Chi didn't go anywhere, because the builder on the phone yesterday wanted to come over to see his terrain.
For breakfast, Zhang Chi cooked himself a little millet porridge, and then baked a piece of supermarket-bought finger cake, a small piece of fried beef with fresh lettuce, plus a full of tomato sauce, rolled up and grabbed with his hands, a mouthful of finger cakes, a mouthful of millet porridge, this breakfast is called a comfortable one.
After eating, I cleaned up briefly, and then rode up Chiyan Mountain to go around the ranch, this time not to play, but to see if there was any place to repair the fence along my own pasture.
The fence of Zhang Chi Ranch is almost composed of three parts, two parts belong to the dividing line between his ranch and the adjacent two pastures, the fences in these two places are very good, the fence of the original lion ranch is needless to say, the rich people are not bad at all for this money, so the fence is about two meters high, with two layers of iron net, not to mention a cow, even if a rabbit wants to drill from here is not easy.
The fence of another ranch is also quite strong, and the people use a stump with a thick bowl mouth to drive into the ground, exposing the ground to a height of about one meter five or six, and three strong wooden horizontal fences, whether it is impossible for cattle and sheep to drill.
The worst fence is Zhang Chi Ranch's own, blocking the pasture from leading to the mountain, of course, not to prevent the livestock in the pasture from going up the mountain, but to prevent the animals on the mountain from getting into the pasture.
This fence was apparently built improvised during the division of the pastures, with arm-thick wooden stakes inserted into the ground, and a few simple wires were wrapped around to form a fence.
The length of this fence is almost four or five hundred meters, Zhang Chi rode Chiyan Mountain frowning from beginning to end, wanting to rebuild the fence, but after thinking about his wallet, he only sighed.
When you make money, you have to fix this thing as soon as possible!
Zhang Chi thought to himself.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the RV, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Where are you, I'm almost at the gate of Ling's ranch, by the way, I'm standing at the gate of that ranch, do you want to turn left or right when I go to you?"
When Zhang Chi heard this, he immediately understood where he was now: "You go east, the road is at the end, and it's just my family."
After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he urged Chiyan Mountain to run towards the door of his ranch.
When I arrived at the door, I waited for less than two or three minutes before I saw a broken pickup truck driving in this direction.
"Boss Zhang?!"
"It's me, please come in, please come in".
At this moment, Zhang Chi has opened the door of his own ranch.
"You're not easy to find here."
The driver is a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Xu, who has been coming from China for almost 20 years, and now several people live in Big Falls City, and they have a good life, belonging to the middle class.
Lao Xu has a square face and wears a blue baseball cap on his head, and the hat is embroidered with the Bulls' team crest, which seems to be a fan who likes the Bulls.
But it's hard to say, maybe he just likes the hat.
People are very rough, belonging to the kind of middle-aged rough old men, with stubble on their faces.
But here, this kind of dress is what a man looks like, and if he is a little more delicate, it is estimated that he will become a sissy in the eyes of cowboys, and there is no problem with a man dressed up delicately in a big city, but it is estimated that he will be ridiculed when he goes out here, and what is inclusive or something in this conservative place in the west, it is not so useful.
"The place is a little off," Zhang Chi said.
"Go, look at your land".
Lao Xu was not polite with Zhang Chi, and directly asked to see the ground, so Zhang Chi took him to the small mound.
In fact, there is nothing to look at, the house that Zhang Chi wants to build is the lowest technical level, and it is almost equivalent to a domestic board house.
Because the money in the pocket is limited, a lot of things that cost money are saved, such as digging the foundation and then filling it with stones, doing waterproofing treatment and then pouring cement, these are not, a few simple piles on the ground, and then building a house on the pile, like this kind of work, it doesn't take much time, at most half a month can be completed.
In addition, the two of them also determined the location on WeChat, so this time Lao Xu came over to take a brief look at the scene, and when he went back, he was ready to start work.
"The place is really good, and the quiet scenery is good" Lao Xu looked at the place, and then said politely to Zhang Chi.
"It's preferable, the scenery is naturally better," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Lao Xu didn't ask why he didn't build a bigger house in such a big place, this question is nonsense, who has money in his pocket and doesn't want to live comfortably, Zhang Chi doesn't want to build it, could it be a small house that likes to be forced? And that's not because money doesn't allow it!
"I've calculated it here, it's expected to be ready in about a week, and we'll start work after it's ready," Lao Xu said about business.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, when it's convenient for you and when we can build it."
It's a bit annoying to want to save money and ask for this, anyway, it's not cold now, Zhang Chi is still waiting.
"Alas, I also want to buy a farm, but it doesn't seem to be suitable, I've been looking at it for three or four years, it's either set or the price is too expensive, and there are more people buying land here over the years......" Lao Xu suddenly complained.
Zhang Chi also knows that now slightly larger cities can see the shadow of Chinese people, most of the people who came to the United States in the past were concentrated in cities such as Los Angeles and New York, but now there are many Chinese on Folson's side, let alone elsewhere.
And now the Chinese people who come out are different from before, and now these people come to the United States either to buy a house or buy land, and they all seem to have a frame of riding a crane down to Yangzhou with a million yuan, buying, buying, buying, buying, these people are not soft at all when they spend money, and they don't know where the money comes from.
"Look slowly, this kind of thing can't come in a hurry," Zhang Chi said casually.
"Okay, I won't talk to you more, I still have to rush to Edburg, there is still a project over there" Lao Xu remembered that he still had work to do, so he said goodbye to Zhang Chi.
"Stay for a meal, it's going to be noon soon" Zhang Chi felt that there should be politeness between us Chinese.
Lao Xu looked at his watch: "I really don't need it!" ”
"By the way, what do I have to prepare? For example, you eat or something," Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu said: "No, we will solve it ourselves when the time comes, you don't have to bother with this matter, we have to consider these when we work in other places."
