Chapter 24 Losses
After driving the car, Brother Xiao Ma showed Zhang Chi the way, and it took five or six minutes to arrive at Brother Xiaoma's ranch where he raised animals.
Originally, Zhang Chi felt that his ranch was sloppy enough, but he didn't expect that Brother Xiaoma's ranch was even more sloppy than himself, the most important thing was that the grass in Brother Xiaoma's ranch couldn't be compared with Zhang Chi's ranch, and the grass growing in most places here was that kind of dwarf weed, or sparse, and there was no whole grassland.
Everything he kept was kept in a pen and fed with the forage he bought.
"You get a lot of money just to buy forage every year, right?"
Zhang Chi thinks this place is called a ranch? It's worse than your own place.
Brother Xiao Ma smiled: "I don't rely on this to make money, in fact, I just want to have a place to raise animals or something, which is not a ranch." I have friends who come here and bring their children to play around, and it's usually a warehouse."
This place is indeed not suitable for ranching, the main reason is the lack of water, in the past, this place wanted to use water to collect rainwater, and now there is a professional rainwater storage tank on the hillside of the ranch, but after Xiao Ma came, he spent money to fetch water in the field, and the rainwater collection device was abandoned.
"Feel free to pick, here are all newborn lambs" Brother Xiao Ma took Zhang Chi to the fence dedicated to sheep.
The fence is not small, about four or five hundred square meters, and there are about twenty or thirty adult goats and twenty lambs in it.
"You raise so many sheep? Are sheep easy to sell now? Zhang Chi asked.
Brother Xiao Ma said: "These sheep are not sold, they are all eaten by my own family and friends, if I talk about selling sheep, what can I do with such a small number, it is not worth coming back to run the freight money." And this sheep is our own breed of sheep, better than the meat sheep here, I also feed the grass here, there is no fattening at all, there is no smell to eat, when there is time, friends also like to drag the family to eat."
Hearing that this sheep is delicious, or a domestic breed, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think, domestic pigs are delicious This is what Zhang Chi knows, no matter what kind of American pigs, they are not as delicious as China's native pig breeds, but he doesn't know that sheep are also like this.
"Why don't you sell me a few more? I also raise my own meat and eat meat," Zhang Chi said.
"Okay, you want a few, if there are four or five, I won't charge you money, anyway, whatever machinery you want to use in the pasture in the future, as long as I have what I have here, you can think of me," Brother Xiao Ma smiled.
"Ten of them, ten of them is enough," Zhang Chi said.
"Then I'll take the money for the six," Brother Pony said cheerfully.
The next thing is to pick the lamb, Zhang Chi has no ability to catch the sheep, so he stretched out his finger, and Brother Xiao Ma was responsible for catching it, and after a while, ten little lambs were caught in the car.
"Let's stay for lunch, it's not too early this day, let's be simpler, fry a small lamb chop, the sheep I just killed yesterday" Brother Xiao Ma saw that the time was almost up, so he made a sound.
Zhang Chi smiled: "No need, next time, there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the ranch."
"That's okay, I won't keep you" Brother Xiao Ma was no longer polite to Zhang Chi when he heard it.
drove out of Brother Xiaoma's ranch, and when he arrived at the side of the road and saw that there was no one nearby, Zhang Chi directly connected to the drone and took a few lambs into the space of the gourd.
When he arrived near the airport and returned the car, Zhang Chi entered the airport with a small bag on his back.
The journey was smooth, and I got off the plane and went to my uncle's house first.
As soon as she entered the door, Uncle Niang looked behind Zhang Chi and asked, "Why, Xiao Wu didn't come back with you?" ”
Zhang Chi said a little embarrassed: "Brother Xiao Wu said that he still had something to do over there and didn't come back with me."
"What could he do over there?" Uncle asked puzzled.
Zhang Youliang said at this time: "Then you still need to ask, I must think that his eldest brother is comfortable living there, and he won't come back for the time being, maybe Dawen will give him money to spend."
"This kid ......" Uncle Niang didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhang Chi didn't want to get entangled in this matter, because he didn't know what Brother Xiaowu was going to do, buy a song or something, even if he really wanted to buy it, it wouldn't take so long.
"Uncle, uncle, then I'll go back first" Zhang Chi prepared to retreat first.
Uncle suddenly stopped Zhang Chi: "Wait a minute, we also asked you for a cat, there will definitely be mice in the place where you live, it is better to have a cat at home."
When the aunt heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "I forgot about this, I'll take it for you."
Zhang Chi was a little confused when he heard this: "Uncle, I have a cat now?" The house hasn't been built yet."
"When the house is built, maybe it won't be there, what we want for you is not the cat here, where will the cat catch mice, what we want for you is the raccoon cat, our Chinese cat, catching mice is ......."
Our domestic ordinary raccoon cats are not ordinary here, after what association has been certified here, the good quality can exceed 10,000, and the bad quality has to be hundreds of dollars larger, which is really not cheap.
While saying, the aunt got up and went into the house and came back with an extra cage in her hand, and the cage contained a kitten, which was indeed a raccoon cat, and it was only about two months old, and the little guy was meowing in the cage.
"I'll put you in the car, this kitten is not big, but the little cat is easy to raise and rarely sick, I and your uncle also prepared goat milk powder for you, and then rush to feed it, and then it will be a little bigger, and the kitten can be fed after a week or two, and it will eat what you eat in the future......."
The uncle chattered and put the cage on Zhang Chi's car outside.
"How is your big brother?" After coming back, the aunt asked about Brother Zhang Wen's situation.
Zhang Chi said: "Brother Dawen's life is good now, by the way, uncle, uncle, you can just move over and live with Brother Dawen."
"Forget it, no matter how good his house is, we won't be able to move," Zhang Youliang said, "It's better to live in your own home."
The aunt also smiled: "I'm used to it, I can't enjoy his blessings, and besides, we are in good health, and we haven't reached the time to enjoy the blessings of our son."
Obviously, the eldest son and his family only have a proud mind, and they don't think about putting down their current life and following the eldest son to live a good life.
The older generation is like this, as long as they can move, they will not think about joining their sons, for fear of causing trouble to their children.
"Then uncle, uncle, I'm going back, there are still cattle in the pasture at home," Zhang Chi said.
"Okay, be careful on the road" Uncle and Uncle sent Zhang Chi to the door, standing at the door and looking at Zhang Chi who got into the car, he couldn't stop telling him to be careful on the road.
Zhang Chi responded one by one, and then drove home.
The closer to his own ranch, the better Zhang Chi's mood becomes, although the eldest brother's home is luxurious and comfortable, but as the old saying goes, a good gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, no matter how good the house over there is, it is also the eldest brother's, no matter how bad his ranch is, it is also his own home, isn't it?
Happily entering the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi immediately felt that something was wrong, because Chiyanshan stayed at the gate of the ranch, resting his head on the railing at the door, and screaming at his car.
"How did you get here?"
Before Zhang Chi's words were finished, Chiyan Mountain snorted, and Herod ran to Zhang Chi's car, and kept holding Zhang Chi's outstretched hand outside the window with his horse's head.
Zhang Chi thought that Chiyanshan missed himself, so he said with a smile: "I've only been away for a few days, you miss me, our brothers are really like what Old Mason said, we have a fate."
drove the car and continued to walk inside, but out of the forest, Zhang Chi couldn't laugh immediately when he saw the cows.
Because he saw six blood-red paw prints on the buttocks of a calf, which were about twenty centimeters long, and the bloody flesh was turned outward, which looked very conspicuous.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhang Chi hurriedly got out of the car and wanted to walk towards the calf, but as soon as the calf saw Zhang Chi, he immediately shrank back into the forest.
Zhang Chi stopped, and the calves also stopped, frowning and counting, Zhang Chi found that the original twenty calves were now only nineteen.
Where did the other end go?
At this moment, Zhang Chi had a bad premonition in his heart.
Standing not far from the herd and looking at it with a cold face for a while, Zhang Chi got into the car, drove to the side of the RV, and found that the stools and tables that had been well placed were overturned to the ground at the moment.
After setting up the stool and table, Zhang Chi decided to take a look, so he called Chiyan Mountain, prepared to put the saddle on, and looked for the lost calf in the pasture.
Just as he was about to get the saddle, he remembered that he had come back with something, so he silently recited a word in the gourd's heart.
The drones that were put in, and the goats were poured out.
Looking at the goat, Zhang Chi was a little confused, because what was put in was ten lambs, but what came out at the moment was ten and a half big lambs, which were twice as big as the original, and they were already close to adult sheep.
"What the hell does this work with?"
Zhang Chi was a little surprised, until now he didn't know that the animal would have a growth effect when it went in, so if he thought about it, then he put the cow in the gourd, wouldn't it be a bunch of cattle in a day?
But this matter can only be thought about, Zhang Chi felt that if he played like this, it would not be long before the nearby ranchers would definitely focus their eyes on him, let alone the ranchers, maybe they would be able to recruit some guys and slice themselves into research and research.
Baa! Baa! Baa!
The goats who came out of the gourd seemed to be a little unhappy, and after seeing the surrounding environment, they bleated directly, not afraid of Zhang Chi at all.
"Call a fart, Ansheng eats your grass, I'll go see what is so bold as to dare to enter my ranch and eat my calf," Zhang Chi said.
After speaking, Zhang Chi put a saddle on Chiyan Mountain, stepped on the horse's back and began to spin around the pasture.
It didn't take long for Zhang Chi to spot a few vultures hovering in the sky near the mountain to the north.
Exercise!
He had no experience in ranch life, but Zhang Chi had seen the animal world and knew that there must be food under the place where the vultures flew, so Zhang Chi urged Chiyan Mountain to run over there.
Far away, Zhang Chi saw a cougar eating meat in a big gulp, and the one lying on the ground was the lost calf of his family.
Now that the calf is dead and can't die anymore, when Zhang Chi arrived nearby, the cow's belly had been gnawed flat, and the last two legs of the cow were also exposed to the bones.
Seeing Zhang Chi galloping on horseback, the cougar glanced up at Zhang Chi, and then instantly turned his head and galloped towards the mountain.
By the time Zhang Chi came to the calf's corpse, the cougar had already run without a shadow, and it was obvious that it was also four-legged, and Chiyan Mountain was not as fast as the cougar.
This made Zhang Chi, who was about to sacrifice the gourd, a little disappointed: I didn't kill you!
