Chapter 65: Wool

The disappointing price of beef was being discussed, and Burris had already grilled the meat.

"Come here, eat"

Burris shouted at the crowd in front of the house.

When they heard Burris's words, they all went back to the terrace, each picked up the cutlery once, took what they wanted to eat from the table, and stood on the terrace in twos and twos while eating and continued to chat.

Zhang Chi also took something.

But instead of fried rice, he took two lamb chops.

The barbecue here is not like a restaurant, the lamb chops are a whole one, and it is not like domestic ribs with some meat hanging on them, and the meat hanging on the lamb chops here can be as thick as the ribs.

It's not particular, just put it on a plate and grab it with your hands and gnaw it.

I have to say that Zhang Chi guessed that in the eyes of these people, when everyone was picking food, no matter what it was, everyone had a large or small three-fresh fried rice on their plate anyway.

Including Burris, except for Zhang Chi, everyone is like this, which shows how popular Sanxian fried rice is.

While eating, Zhang Chi got together with Seriel and Burris, and in addition to these three people, there was also an old rancher, Beni, who also raised cattle and miscellaneous cattle.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Zhang Chi found a problem, Amber Town seems to be more Italian, unlike other places, most of them are Irish.

Irish Americans account for a large proportion of white Americans, which has historical reasons, before the United States was founded, there was a food crisis in Ireland, Ireland's staple potato disease, such Irish people have nothing to eat, originally expected the British to help, but the British did not save when they saw death, and forced the Irish to go to the New World to survive.

Therefore, the Irish population of white Americans is relatively large.

Therefore, it is very rare to have so many Italians in Amber Town.

It's just that these Italians are Italians, and there is hardly any lazy and casual character of Italians in them, most of them are diligent, and they are also tough.

Everyone got together and continued to talk about the kind of things that happened on the ranch.

Selior chatted for a while, then asked Zhang Chi, "George, will the cattle in your ranch be bred next spring?" ”

Zhang Chi really didn't think about this, and when he heard Seliol ask, he said: "I really haven't thought about it, what, are you interested in the Gasconi breeding bull in my pasture?" ”

"I'm not asking Gascony, but the cattle in your pasture, isn't there a bull that grows strong?" Seselior Road.

As soon as he heard Serolti, Zhang Chi knew that Serol was referring to his own miscellaneous cow Scarf, which was the bull that escaped from the mouth of the cougar.

"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet, but it's okay if the cattle on your ranch need to be bred," Zhang Chi said.

Beni was far away from Zhang Chi's ranch, so he only knew that the cattle in Zhang Chi's ranch were good, but he didn't know that Scarf, a very strong miscellaneous cow.

Hearing about Serol's breeding, he immediately realized that there were quite good breeding bulls in the Chinese kid ranch in front of him, and Seriel wanted to use this breeding bull to breed his own calf, then this cow must surpass Serol's own breeding bull, otherwise who would be willing to spend money to buy seeds.

"Cow good?" Beni asked.

"It's good," said Selyor, "you can go and see George's cattle when you have time."

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and if it were to be done secretly, Serol would not mention it at this time.

Zhang Chi, the rancher with two knives, didn't expect this again.

He is a novice in the end, I don't know if you have an excellent breeding bull at home, not only can you sell cattle to make money, but you can also make money by selling cattle's tadpoles, of course, you can also breed directly, but now you rarely use this way.

Generally, the ranch uses manual intervention to make the cow cup calves, because this method has a high success rate and is more controllable than the natural method.

Of course, some ranches will also choose natural methods, such as Zhang Chi is ready to do this, not because he talks about cattle rights, but because he doesn't want to hire a veterinarian.

Zhang Chi saw Beni looking at him, and said with a smile: "If you are interested, you can come to my ranch to see the cattle at any time."

When Beni heard this, he immediately said: "Then tomorrow will pass, and tomorrow morning at about ten o'clock, I heard that your cattle are well raised, but I have never seen them."

"Yes, everyone will call us then," Zhang Chi said.

At this point, the two added phone calls to each other.

The phone was just taken out, and the lawyer named Leonard came over with a plate and a spoon in his hand, and was picking up fried rice to his mouth.

"George, your fried rice is really well cooked," Leonard said politely.

Hearing Leonard's words, Zhang Chi smiled and thanked him.

However, the three Beni next to him looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.

"By the way, George, did you receive your pastoral allowance?" After talking to Zhang Chi for a few words, Leonard asked casually.

This seems to be casual, but it is not casual, just look at the expressions of the three Beni, but Zhang Chi did not pay attention to the three Beni at the moment.

Zhang Chi naturally knew about the subsidy, and opened his mouth to tell Leonard about the several subsidies he had received.

"That's all?" Leonard asked.

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Is there anything else?" ”

Leonard said four or five subsidies in a row, but Zhang Chi had never even heard of them, so he asked, "And these?" ”

Zhang Chi didn't expect that there would be a subsidy for buying a small agricultural machinery, he only knew that if he wanted to buy a large agricultural machinery, the US government would give a certain subsidy, and he didn't expect that buying a small trailer would make the government pocket.

Zhang Chi is still too young to have any experience in ranching, and he does not know that almost 40 percent of the net income of American farmers and herdsmen, especially small farmers, comes from government subsidies.

Moreover, the larger the farm, the more subsidies they enjoy, and many large farms have lawyers who apply for subsidies. Most of the tens of billions of dollars in subsidies for agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States every year fall into the hands of these large ranchers.

These small farms in Amber could not afford to hire a lawyer alone, so everyone found a lawyer to help them apply for these small government subsidies.

Leonard is obviously such a lawyer, and he obviously came here today to get his hands on the business of Zhangchi Ranch.

Now Zhang Chi is a little stunned when he hears it, it feels as if he has missed tens of millions, he only knows some of the main subsidies, but he didn't expect that there are so many things he doesn't know, there are more than twenty of them, he has never heard of these.

"How do I apply?" Zhang Chi asked.

As he asked, he turned his head to look at Burris and Serol.

Burris smiled: "You just give the information to Leonard, and you provide the information Leonard to help you apply, many of which are difficult for you to apply alone."

As soon as Zhang Chi heard it, he understood that he had to let Leonard make a hand from the money.

After living here for so long, Zhang Chi has long not known where to throw the innocence of American society, and the United States that people who have never been abroad think is actually the United States they imagine, naively thinking that everything here is based on the law, speaking according to the system, and there is no personal contact.

This is actually very wrong, as long as there are people, there is society, there is a circle.

There will also be things that others can easily do here, and if you do them, you may not be able to do them in your lifetime.

Because people have a network that you don't!

Why Big Law Firm Bull Coins? You think it's just the lawyer's cow in there? In fact, the lawyers of the big law firms are all from the best schools, the natural ones who come out of the school are cattle, everyone is mixed well in society, in the words of our Chinese, there are people in the public prosecution law, you become a lawyer again, not to mention anything else, the news is much better than others.

The best example around him is none other than his cousin Zhangwen, if he hadn't graduated from a prestigious school, had good teachers and good classmates, and his current conditions would not have been reached by many doctors in their lifetimes.

"Then Leonard will have to pay more attention to this."

Turning in his mind, Zhang Chi understood, what else is there to say, if you don't hire Leonard, you can't get this money, although you have to give him some money if you hire Leonard, but you always have money to take it, no matter how you say it, it's better than not having a penny.

Reasonable and legal wool is not picked, Zhang Chi is afraid that one day when he goes out on a rainy day, he is taken away by a thunderbolt.

Leonard smiled and said, "No problem, I'll send you some of the information you need tomorrow, and you can just give me these materials."

Zhang Chi understands that with the information, it is not only the information, there must be a payment bill, but it is not a matter for him, there is no free lunch in the world, and today's party in Burris, it is very telling that Leonard can come.

Ay! Society is complicated.

Zhang Chi felt that he had come to the right place today.

If you bury your head in the ranch, you don't just earn hard-earned money.

Thinking that it wouldn't be long before money would fall into his pocket, Zhang Chi's mood immediately increased a few degrees.

Zhang Chi got the wool, and Leonard got another customer, so the big guy couldn't help but chat a little enthusiastically.

"Seliol, when are your family going to change this year?"

Burris asked at Seriel.

This is the old-fashioned ranch management method, waiting for the winter to come, the cattle and sheep in the pasture are driven to the winter pasture, generally speaking, there are two options for the winter pasture, one is to rent the government's ranch, which has to pay a certain fee.

The second is to have your own pasture, and you can go back and forth in two seasons a year, so as to ensure that a pasture can rest for half a year and allow the pasture to recover.

Of course, in places like Amber, most of the winter pastures are used to save money, because in the winter there is no grass growing on the pastures, and when the snow snows heavily, the grass in the pastures is covered, and then it will not continue to grow until the spring of the next year, when the snow melts in April.

This is not to say that there is no grass in winter, everyone knows that the snow is thick and has a thermal insulation effect, and the pasture on the ground will still grow some, but it is not enough for cattle to eat, usually an acre can raise three cows, and in winter an acre may only raise half a head.
