Chapter 47: Furniture
For the time being, I am not in the mood to worry about my cousin, and Zhang Chi's ranch has a new life.
There is no need for Zhang Chi to worry about the pasture where there is a herd, the grass will be wiped out by this group of cattle when it grows, and it seems that the speed of grass growth can still support the speed of cattle chewing.
But there is no way to leave the remaining pasture, there are no cows to eat and horses to chew, the grass grows very tall, and it was originally over the crook of the legs, but now these days, the grass is almost waist-high.
If he didn't accept it again, Zhang Chi doubted that these things would grow into small trees.
There was no way to delay this matter any longer, so at noon the next day when Zhang Chi noticed it, he drove to the leasing company in the city, preparing to rent an all-in-one machine for mowing and baling, collect the pasture in his pasture, and wait for the grass to dry up and transport it into his hay warehouse.
Just do it, Zhang Chi drove to the city humming a little song.
I went to the aunt's restaurant and had a lunch, and I did dozens of minutes of running the hall by the way.
"Uncle, I'm leaving."
The guests in the restaurant are almost gone, and the peak period of dining has passed, Zhang Chi put away the last table of dishes and chopsticks, took off the apron on his chest and said to the uncle who was busy in the kitchen.
"Let's go now? Take a break at noon, and then go," the aunt walked out of the kitchen and smiled at Zhang Chi.
"Go early and come back early, by the way, Brother Xiao Wu told me the day before yesterday that he would come back in two days, do you know?" Zhang Chi asked.
Uncle said: "I know, he said that he made something, I didn't understand, in short, this kid started to make trouble again, if you see him also for me to advise, don't be such a big person, all day long."
"If I want to persuade it, I will have persuaded it a long time ago," Zhang Chi said with a wry smile, said goodbye to his uncle, and left, turning around to go out.
"Oh, I forgot, there is a place in the south for sale today, do you want to go and have a look?" Uncle said.
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Today? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Generally speaking, this kind of sales meeting must be said in advance, otherwise depending on the trading volume of a few neighbors, Zhang Chi really didn't get any news this time.
Uncle Niang said: "I also just knew, your Aunt Phil just showed her that she bought a bread machine, and the brand new one is only fifteen yuan."
"Then I'll have to check it out!"
As soon as Zhang Chi heard this, he decided to let the matter of renting agricultural machinery go back, he was still asleep on the floor now, and he had to get a bed to go back no matter what he said about this opportunity.
"Uncle, when I'm cleaned up over there, I'll return the RV to you" Zhang Chi remembered the RV.
Uncle said: "No, no, you put it there and use it, I and your uncle can't use it once a year, when I bought it, it was fresh for a few days, and the last throw is several years, and our family has no place to put it now, so put it there first, in case you hire someone or something in the future."
When the two of them bought a caravan, they thought about it well, and took their children or something to travel, but they used it once or twice when they bought it, and now they don't need it. Even if the two of them want to leave the restaurant to play, they can't go around the neighborhood, and they must not go to the beach or to the big city, this thing is not used at all.
"That's okay, just put me there first, I'll go, go and see what people sell, don't wait for the good things to be snatched away later" Zhang Chi finished speaking and went out.
Get in the car and go straight to the place that the aunt said.
When I arrived at the place, I saw a stall set up in front of my house.
The city and the suburbs are not quite the same, the suburbs have a small yard, but there are very few houses in the city that specialize in building a courtyard wall, at most it is a fence to block a block, and more people are directly at the door of a large piece of turf, usually children play with dogs on it, at this time it is a small stall.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Chi got out of the car and looked, the first one didn't have anything Zhang Chi liked, it sold some old clothes, and some small kitchen appliances, this thing Zhang Chi had already bought, and the kitchen was not short of these things, so after a few glances, he got into the car and continued to walk inside.
When he arrived at the second house, Zhang Chi found something he liked in the car, two single sofas, on which two yuan were written on white paper.
The furniture is very cheap, because there are few people who want this thing, and it is expensive to dispose of garbage, so it is generally a few dollars, as long as it is not an antique or something, no matter how good the furniture is placed at the door, it will not exceed ten dollars.
Stopping the car, Zhang Chi came to the sofa and took a look.
"Two bucks!"
Zhang Chi raised his head and followed the voice, only to find that a little girl sitting on the ground, who was only four or five years old, was very cute, with two pigtails, wearing a group of little princesses, which was the kind of princess group of Disney, and was now playing with a magic fight.
"Two dollars each, or two dollars together?"
Zhang Chi asked at the little girl.
Now the little girl was asked by Zhang Chi, her little face was full of confusion, and she didn't know how to answer Zhang Chi.
“Daddy! Daddy!”
The little girl didn't understand, and after a moment of stunnedness, she turned around and ran into the house.
Soon a fat white man in his early thirties came out.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be happy when he saw this, because he knew him, and said that he couldn't talk about acquaintance, and he had been to a restaurant a few times.
"Hey, buddy, long time no see" The man greeted Zhang Chi with a smile.
The two of you guess you don't know what my name is, and I don't know what your surname is, it's just a familiar face.
It's a big town, and there's almost no one who hasn't seen it.
"Long time no see, is the sofa one or two?" Zhang Chi asked.
"One".
"That's fine! I want it" Zhang Chi began to take money out of his pocket, the two sofas are good, the most important thing is that the surface is tarpaulin, and it is best under the gallery.
When the little girl heard this, she immediately ran and picked up the iron box on the grass, which was a bit like our domestic biscuit box, and stood beside Zhang Chi and waited to collect the money.
Zhang Chi took out his wallet, counted out four beautiful knives and put them in the box.
After collecting the money, the man helped Zhang Chi carry the sofa into the car.
The two chatted a few words, and Zhang Chi drove to the next house.
The next few Zhang Chi didn't find any favorite furniture, it's not that these people don't have it, but almost all of them are sold with that kind of stuff with bulging leather bags, Zhang Chi doesn't like this kind of bed, and he doesn't like things that are too complicated to decorate, it doesn't match his room, and besides, this thing also takes up space.
His house is small, and simple furniture is more suitable.
I turned a few more, but the furniture was not found, so that Zhang Chi saw a big refrigerator, and opened the door again, about seventy or eighty percent new, and the price was good, so Zhang Chi got out of the car and took a look, and paid the money for the male owner to help transport it to the car.
Just as I was about to get in the car and continue walking, two little girls came over.
"Sir, do you want orange juice?"
Zhang Chi turned his head and found that the two little girls were also the age of elementary school, one was holding a plastic bottle of about four or five liters, and the other was holding a wooden pallet in his hand, a strap was tied on both sides of the pallet, and the middle was hung around the little girl's neck.
It's a bit like the kind of street cigarette selling in the old society.
There is also a small flag next to the pallet, and the small flag says Help XX.
At a glance, I knew that these two little girls were engaged in charity sales, that is, where there was a difficulty, they sold some homemade soda or something, and the money from the sale would be donated to those in need.
Most of the materials used are homemade, such as the people here, some families will plant one or two fruit trees in the yard, and most of these fruit trees are on the side of the road.
The fruit that bears it is not sold, and in fact there is no way to sell it, because everyone has it, and where you sell it, there is no fruit merchant to collect it, and the money from the sale of this thing is not worth hiring someone to pick it.
Therefore, if there is a fruit tree at home, it is usually picked and given away when the fruit is ripe.
If you don't pick the fruit and let it fall to the ground, the neighbors will get you in trouble because you have messed up the whole neighborhood and lowered the price of the house.
Therefore, here, Zhang Chi doesn't know much about other places, just on Folsen's side, if passers-by want to eat a fruit and see that there is just one or two trees on the roadside, then you can pick one or two, and no one will say anything about you. Many owners see it and take the initiative to let you pick more.
"Have a drink!"
Usually in this case, adults will buy a glass, and there are very few misers who don't pay for it, and this thing is really not expensive, and any restaurant where you order a glass of juice is more expensive than the price of the children.
And these juices are pure fruit juices, not flavored with water.
When the little girl heard that Zhang Chi wanted a cup, the two immediately started to cooperate, taking the cup and pouring it one by one, and soon a full cup of orange juice was handed to Zhang Chi's hand.
As soon as Zhang Chi got it in his hand, he felt a chill spread to his hand through the cup.
Folsom is not hot, this time is the hottest of the year, the daytime is only twenty-eight or nine degrees, more than thirty degrees are less, but the people here don't know how to drop, even in winter, some people like ice water.
"Thank you! Oh! ”
After thanking him, Zhang Chi found that the little girl was tearing the sticker, so he bent down and waited for the little girl to tear off the sticker and stick it on her collar before straightening up.
Bought a glass of water and sent a cartoon pattern, one is to show that Zhang Chi dedicated this little love, but also for other children to see, so that no more children come to ask, of course, if you want to have another cup, you can also do.
The orange juice in the cup was too full, Zhang Chi sucked it up, sat back in the car, put the orange juice on the cup holder, and drove the car forward slowly.
After going around for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi found another set of tables and chairs, as well as a small bed.
After receiving the car, he continued to turn, and finally Zhang Chi found a large wooden bed that was satisfactory, and then got it to the car, Zhang Chi felt that today was a success.
I was about to rent agricultural machinery, and when I first arrived at the agricultural machinery company, I found a set of assembly cabinets on the side of the road.
This turned around, filled the rear compartment of the entire pickup truck, and finally had to get a rope to fix it.
When he arrived at the agricultural machinery company, Zhang Chi was just in time for someone to get off work, so he rushed in and rented a lawn mower baler.
The service provided by people is good, send the machine to the door, and the charge is also according to the number of acres, this technology is developed, and it is difficult to take advantage of the profiteers.
The services offered here are multifaceted, and if you don't have a driver, they can also provide professional harvesting services.
But it's still the same old saying, Zhang Chi has no money, so he can only do it himself.
Out of the agricultural machinery company, the car was out of Folsen, and Zhang Chi's mobile phone rang.
"Hey!"
"Come and pick me up!"
On the other end of the phone came the voice of cousin Zhang Wu.
"You said two days, it's really just two days" Zhang Chi thinks when did you become so punctual, and he originally thought it would take at least ten days and a half months to answer the phone.
"I'm already at the airport, hurry up," Zhang Wu said.
No way, turn around!
So Zhang Chi turned back and went straight to the airport.
