Chapter 58: On the right track

This is all gossip, and it is still a little far away from Zhang Chi's life.

"I'll send you back in the evening."

Zhang Chi helped Cannon hang the hook of the trailer on his pickup truck, and as soon as the connection line was connected, he tried the lights and everything without any problem, and then said to Burris, who was also helping next to him.

Burris said, "It's okay to send it tomorrow." Oh, by the way, George, do you have time next weekend? ”

Zhang Chi was a little strange, Burris asked what this meant, but he still replied: "There should be nothing wrong, do you need help with something?" ”

Burris smiled and replied, "No, I'm going to have a little party, just a few old guys, if you have time, you might as well come and have fun."

Zhang Chi didn't expect that Burris would send him an invitation.

The old guys that Burris said were actually a small gathering of ranchers, where everyone chatted and drank together, which was a common social event here, but it was all ranchers and ranchers, and generally no cowboys participated.

"Okay, I'll go when I have time."

Hearing Burris's invitation, Zhang Chi's heart was still very happy, and people issued such an invitation, which proved that people had begun to accept him.

Zhang Chi can be said to have grown up in Folsom, although he has never participated in such a party, but he also knows that this kind of party is not a simple party, but a way for big guys to connect with each other.

Zhang Chi is not ready to bury his head in life, this way is already old-fashioned, the old Chinese don't do it anymore, where will Zhang Chi be bored and run a ranch.

"Then say so," Burris understood that Zhang Chi had accepted his invitation.

Hooked up the trailer, Cannon drove, Zhang Chi sat in the co-pilot, and the two left the Berris ranch together and ran all the way in the direction of Merck Town.

There is nothing to mention along the way, I met four cars and I don't know five cars, when everyone staggered by, I said hello, although I don't know each other, but on the road in the west, it is always exciting to see a person.

In addition to people, they are animals, these guys are really many, in addition to the common various deer and bison, this time Zhang Chi also met a female bear with a bear cub.

The mother and son are obviously not afraid of cars, and they are shaking their heads and swaying slowly across the road, and they don't take Zhang Chi's big pickup truck in their eyes at all.

Stopped the car and waited for the mother and son to cross the road, and before they had driven a few hundred meters, a group of coyotes appeared on the road, and the group of guys was humming and noisy.

It's not a pleasant thing, and you can shoot them here without even asking for a hunting permit.

Because there are so many of them, although these guys don't threaten the lives of humans, there aren't many reports of them attacking humans in the United States for a year.

However, the American people believe that they may pose a danger to their children and livestock, so a large proportion of coyotes are killed in the United States throughout the year.

To say that this thing's business is also tenacious, even if it is hunting, these guys have expanded their territory by 40%, not only do they have no intention of extinction, but the team is constantly growing.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

These guys didn't look at it at all, their stomachs were bulging, and they just played on the road, and they didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all.

Cannon stopped for almost five minutes, and when he couldn't stand it, he poked his head out and yelled at the coyotes, then honked his horn to tell them to get out.

The shrill horn suddenly sounded, startling the coyotes, and then trotted into the nearby woods.

The car continued on.

The rest of the road was much smoother, except for the occasional encounter with a hare, or a fox.

Arrived at the ranch smoothly, Zhang Chi contacted the protection organization, originally thinking that someone was going to come over or something, but who knew that they would come directly and say that you can just go in and set it yourself, so Zhang Chi was sent away.

In that case, let's go inside!

The two opened the gate of the ranch and drove the car in.

The lasso and everything came to the vicinity of the horses, Zhang Chi stopped the car, and Cannon took out the lasso from the back of the car and walked towards the horses.

The horses, who had been gathered together, immediately became nervous when they saw the stranger coming, and they all looked at Cannon who was walking towards them.

When Cannon approached them about ten meters, the herd began to move, and the fast horses immediately moved away from Cannon.

However, there are two horses that can't run fast, not only can't they run fast, but they still walk with a limp.

Seeing this, Cannon threw out his lasso, and the lasso arced completely in the air, landing on the neck of the last horse.

Without any struggle, the horse stopped.

Cannon slowly approached the horse as he tucked in the leash, muttering as he approached.

“easy!boy!easy,boy!”

It is not known whether Cannon's pacification worked, or because the horse itself could not run, so Cannon quickly came to the horse's side.

“boss!”

Hearing Cannon's greeting, Zhang Chi came to his side with a trot.

"There's something wrong with this horse?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "It's not a big problem, it's just that the horse's hooves haven't been repaired for a long time."

Zhang Chi also saw it at this moment, the horse's hooves began to roll forward, it seems that the last time the horse's hooves were repaired was at least a year ago, otherwise the horse's hooves would not have grown like this.

"It's not a problem, just wait until tomorrow to find a nail hoof master to come and fix it."

If you save the money to buy a horse, you will naturally not be able to save this money, Zhang Chi knows in his heart, as long as there is no problem with the horse, it is not a sick horse or something, he can accept it.

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Cannon pulled his horse and walked towards the trailer.

The horse was very honest and obediently followed Kanmin into the trailer, and when he closed the back door of the trailer, the horse snorted.

The horses are very easy to catch, and there is no big deal with Fei Zhangchi Cannon, after all, these horses have been trained before, and they are not as unruly as wild horses, and the most important thing is that these horses are either geldings or mares, and they are not as irritable as stallions.

The six big horses were all put into the trailer, and Zhang Chi wanted to catch the ponies.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought that the pony was not easy to catch, but who knew that the reality gave Zhang Chi a resounding slap in the face, and several ponies could run one by one.

Zhang Chi and Cannon haven't brought horses yet, and Chiyan Mountain is still in their own pasture, as for the current horses, there is no way to saddle them at all, because the horses' hooves are not normal, and they all need to be repaired and nailed again, at least they can't be ridden at present, let alone riding their ponies.

"Why don't we come back tomorrow?"

After a few tries, the caught pony jumped and kicked, Cannon couldn't get close at all, Zhang Chi couldn't help at all, he couldn't even shake off the noose now, where could he help Cannon to set the grumpy horse.

Don't look at the little ponies, if they throw a hoof, then it will be bearable, Cannon, without a horse, did not dare to lean on a lasso to get close to them.

It's strange to say, all the horses have long toenails, but the ponies are all good, and I don't know if they usually run too much, or if someone repairs them, anyway, this group of ponies is called a joy.

"Forget it!"

Looking at these little ponies, Zhang Chi thought about it for a while, and felt that these things were actually useless, even if they were ridden by children in the future, they would be a little big, and even worse for adults to ride, too short.

If he was caught, he wouldn't care about this, but now that he was like taking gunpowder, Zhang Chi decided to give up.

"Let's go back, these little ponies don't need it," Zhang Chi said.

Canon doesn't care even more, you can work on the ranch to raise horses, and raising ponies is purely for fun, and if you have forage to feed these ponies, you might as well sell the bales directly and make some money back.

With a few big horses, Zhang Chi and Cannon went out of the ranch and closed the gate again, and Zhang Chi and the two returned to the ranch with the captured horses.

When we got to the ranch and put down the horses, it was already dark.

Zhang Chi drove the trailer to Burris, of course, he couldn't return it empty-handed, but brought a bottle of domestic liquor to Burris.

It's so common to send red wine or something, for Lao Mei, red wine is like us scattering white, sending a bottle of Chinese wine is like we going to other people's homes, you send a foreign sparkling wine, although the money is not much, but people think it is novel.

When I got home, Cannon had already started cooking, and the burritos and burritos were known to everyone here, and Cannon's level was good, and the burritos he made were similar to those sold on the street.

After eating, Cannon began to get busy again, and Zhang Chi himself sat under the porch, holding a bottle of small beer in his hand, drinking a small wine while enjoying the night of his ranch.

After about half an hour, Cannon rode back from Red Flame Mountain.

Zhang Chi brought a bottle of beer to Cannon, and the two sat down under the porch.

Cannon drank beer and said to Zhang Chi that the ranch was still short of something.

"The brand has to be made, now the cow has grown up, the cattle left behind must be branded, now the brand at home is not good, the temperature conduction of the iron is a little worse, the brand is not clear and the cow is still guilty, this thing has to be customized, there is a fence, this thing can be surrounded by itself, there is time to buy some materials to come back, and the ground of the cowshed may still have to be hardened, otherwise in the winter, the cow will step on it, and pee or something, it is not good, unhygienic cattle are easy to get sick ......."

As soon as Cannon sat down, he spoke more than a dozen articles freely, and each one of them turned into a word in front of Zhang Chi's eyes.

- Money!

"The matter of the hardening of the cowshed will be said after the cattle are sold, and now there is really no money, if I say, I still want to build another cowshed, as for the rest, there is no big problem, make a list, I will buy what I need" Zhang Chi said directly.

Zhang Chi has no experience in raising cattle, and Cannon is an expert, so as long as he thinks it is a reasonable suggestion, Zhang Chi accepts it.

In addition to hardening the ground of the cowshed, the rest of the money is not much, and the only thing used to build the fence is wood, which is not as expensive as the custom brand.

"That's okay, I'll go to bed first if it's okay" Cannon didn't think about gossiping with the boss, he must go to bed early, because tomorrow he has a lot of work on his hands.

Zhang Chi didn't know what work to do, but Cannon, as an old cowboy, had a lot of work in his eyes.

With Cannon, an old cowboy, plus the missing cattle and the horses with white tickets, Zhang Chi's ranch developed towards a normal pasture.
