Chapter 66: Chinese Magic
"In the middle of October, there is no specific date set for the time being, waiting for the transition when the snow is about to fall, what about your family?"
"Our family is not going to change this year, it's too difficult to apply for a public ranch, and the price is ...... expensive this year," Burris said.
"It's more expensive to buy grass at home, 221 tons, and when it snows, it's definitely more expensive," Beni said.
Burris added, "I plan to keep only the ewes and the breeding cocks, and sell the rest."
"That's a lot of investment, and in general it's cheaper to make the transition," Beni said.
After speaking, Beni glanced at Zhang Chi: "George, you can't turn around this year, you have a lot of cattle, and when it snows in winter, these cattle are dollar crushers every day."
When Zhang Chi heard how he still had his own business, he said with a smile: "My plan is the same as Burris, look at the price of cattle this year, and sell about 200 heads if it is appropriate."
"Cattle prices aren't very optimistic," Burris said.
"Let's see, if it really doesn't work, sell less, it's impossible not to sell," Zhang Chi said.
This is a half-truth, others can't make money selling cattle, and he can't make money selling cattle? His cattle are equivalent to being picked up for nothing, how much does he spend on a thousand cows, and what is the cost of others.
But you can't say that you can do this, it's still the old saying, wealth is not exposed, where you make a lot of money, you are smart people, you say that you earn a thousand dollars for a cow, isn't that forcing others to stab you with a knife?
"It's getting less and less to sell a cow now," Beni said.
"There's no way, we don't have a channel," Serol said.
Everyone understands who made this money, but there is no way, as soon as the four major slaughterers sit down, the price of beef in the entire American market is set, and it is their turn to speak as small ranchers.
There is no other way for these small ranchers to do than scold their mothers.
And then it came to the scolding session.
However, Zhang Chi felt that the vocabulary of Americans was too small, and it was all those few sentences that turned over and over, such as Beechcraft, Ma Zhifake, and Sang Ao Beach.
Zhang Chi didn't want to listen to it, it was not as wonderful as us Chinese scolding, especially the old women scolding the street.
The whole party lasted about an hour and a half, and after a group of old men scolded the pigs and fools in the white house, they drove back to their respective homes one by one and went to find their own mothers.
Zhang Chi, who returned to the ranch, saw the lights on in the warehouse at a glance, parked the car at the door, and Zhang Chi got out of the car and found that Cannon was stacking hay in the warehouse alone.
"Don't do it today, rest early, and do it tomorrow, the work can't be done in a day."
Zhang Chi said to Cannon.
Cannon turned his head and saw Zhang Chi coming, smiled and said casually: "It's okay, the work here is much easier than the ranch I used to stay in."
Cannon is telling the truth, Zhang Chi's work in the ranch is indeed lighter than the work he used to do, mainly because all the cattle on Zhang Chi's side are free-range, and there is no need to rush to the cowshed at night, and if the cattle do not enter the cowshed, there will naturally be no work to shovel feces, and there will be no work to add materials in the middle of the night, which saves Cannon a lot of time.
For a cowboy who works on a ranch, how can there be a chance to sleep for eight hours a day, everyone sleeps in sections, almost at zero o'clock, gets up at four o'clock, and then starts the day's work, finishes most of the work in the morning, finds a time to get hooked for an hour or so, gets up to work, sleeps for an hour or two at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and wakes up until eleven or twelve o'clock.
Zhang Chi's current work in the ranch is like a festival for Cannon, and it can be considered hard to yard grass at the end of the day? Aren't all other people's cowboys hanged?
"No matter how easy it is, you have to pay attention to rest," Zhang Chi said, and also entered the warehouse to help with the work.
After a while, Cannon asked, "Boss, how was the party?" ”
"It's okay, I don't know if I don't go, there are still a lot of subsidies that I haven't received," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon laughed and said, "I can do the work of the ranch, but I don't know these things, after all, I have never run a ranch."
"I'm in business, but those things are really messy and messy, and my head is bigger when I listen to more than 20 articles," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Cannon didn't know what it meant to have a big head, but after thinking about it, he figured it out.
"It's not a lawyer," Cannon laughed.
Zhang Chi nodded: "Really!" ”
If you have a little bit of property, that is, a middle-class tax declaration without the help of an accountant, you have to be confused, and now you even have to apply for a special lawyer, and I don't know if this law is for the people, or for these lawyers and accountants to make money.
Cannon was working here, and Zhang Chi was embarrassed to go back to sleep, and besides, he wasn't too sleepy at the moment.
Who knew that the two of them would be busy until twelve o'clock.
dragged his tired body back to the house, just about to enter the house, and about to turn on the lights, Zhang Chi found that the two dogs, the big cows, and the two tigers actually got together, and the three guys didn't know what they were eating.
was really a little tired, Zhang Chi didn't care so much, went directly into the house to take a shower, and then lay back on the bed to sleep.
The next day, I vaguely heard movement in the house, and when I opened my eyes, I went out of the bedroom, and Zhang Chi found that Cannon had gotten up and was picking up coffee in the kitchen.
"Woke you up?"
Cannon asked.
Looking at Cannon, he definitely didn't look like he had just woken up.
"So early?"
"Get used to it, you can sleep a little longer, and now I'll have no problem doing this alone," Cannon said.
Where is Zhang Chi embarrassed to sleep again, it's not that he doesn't have the consciousness of being a boss, but that he feels that he has spent such a little money, and it is a bit unreasonable to always let people work like an old cow.
So Zhang Chi didn't sleep anymore, changed his clothes, put on riding boots, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then made himself a bowl of cereal and boiled two eggs.
After stuffing his belly, he followed Cannon to work.
It was more than nine o'clock in this way, and Zhang Chi and Cannon were too tired, so the two came back to rest and eat something to replenish their energy.
Zhang Chi flipped through his phone while eating, and saw a new email, and opened it to find that it was sent by Leonard, which naturally contained some application materials needed.
Zhang Chi is still quite complete with this thing, and he was busy for a while and sent the information to Leonard, and then continued to eat.
Before I could take two bites, I remembered my phone again.
When I took it out, I saw that it was Beni who called, and then I remembered that I had promised the family last night to let them come to their pasture to see the cattle.
"Got to the door? Come in".
Putting down the phone, cleaning up a little, Zhang Chi waited for Beni to come over.
Standing under the eaves and seeing three or four people riding into the pasture, Zhang Chi realized that it was not only Beni but also someone else.
So he put on Chiyan Mountain, and Zhang Chi greeted the gang.
Closer, Zhang Chi found out that these people not only have ranchers, but also two ranch managers.
There is a ranch manager who manages a ranch that is not small, with more than 8,000 acres, which is a relatively large ranch here, and the boss is the CEO of a technology company, which is not well-known in China, and his reputation in the United States is not high, far from Musk, but no matter how he says it, he is also a boss, not comparable to Zhang Chi and these small ranchers.
But these have nothing to do with him, no matter how big the ranch manager is, Zhang Chi can't be a man, so he said hello politely, and everyone rode towards the herd.
At this moment, the herd was no longer in the small forest at the gate of the pasture, but turned to Cannon, and rushed to the west, where the grass grew quite high, and by the way, it could also slow down the original pasture.
"Your piece of beard grass grows quite strong, and it is rare to see a ...... that can grow such thick leaves."
Everyone lives on the pasture, and they don't dare to go to Liangshan without three catties, and as soon as they enter the ranch, they are attracted by the big beard grass of Zhang Chi Ranch.
It's not that the grass in their pasture is bad, but no one has ever seen such thick leaves.
"I don't know very well, but when I bought the ranch, these guys were already growing, and there used to be some weeds, but then there were fewer and fewer of them."
Zhang Chi is half-truthful here, anyway, it is the art of speaking, what he said is the same as not saying it, and there is no substantive content when he says a lot.
Beni and these people also understand that no one in this world will teach their own careful virtues to others, who has not had a little experience and skills in their hearts after playing the ranch for so many years?
It was the first time for Beni and these people to come to Zhangchi's pasture, and it was the first time they had seen grass, and it was the first time they had seen cows.
These people stood in front of Zhang Chi's herd, and they were all stunned.
"I heard you didn't buy culled calves."
A manager looked at the herd for a long time, and then turned to Zhang Chi and asked.
Everyone knows what it is, generally speaking, it is slaughtered and sold for meat, and the meat is not sold at a high price, because the calf does not have much meat, although the veal is more delicious, but the key is that the calf has no meat, and Americans hate to gnaw on things without meat.
This thing is brought to the dining table in the restaurant, and the guests see that they are still bones except for bones, and they are considered to have a good temper if they don't scold the street.
Now these cows in front of me are like calves culled in the pasture, all of them are fat and strong, although it is not that there are no slightly thinner ones, but this is completely different from eliminating calves.
This time, Zhang Chi only laughed and didn't speak.
"Will you cure?"
Another manager blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi sighed: "It will be a little, but the medicine used to treat these calves is more expensive than these calves, if it wasn't for the ranch I just bought, I definitely wouldn't use it, and it costs an average of three or four hundred dollars to spend on a calf."
"What medicine?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi came up with these lies when he saw Merica before, and after Merica left, he perfected it in his heart, feeling that it was no problem to be blinded to these foreigners, Chinese medicine is the treasure of our Chinese, and now it is difficult for others to say anything when they pull up the banner.
"It's amazing".
When the ranchers heard about the Chinese medicine used, they immediately felt that this thing was almost equivalent to magic, and they couldn't figure it out.
