Chapter 73: Human Relations

Li Qiao, who received Zhang Chi's call, was already waiting for Zhang Chi to come over in the company's parking lot.

When he saw Zhang Chi's car coming from a distance, he stretched out his hand to say hello.

Seeing Zhang Chi stop the car, he smiled at Zhang Chi, who got out of the car, and said, "Why do you still remember killing cattle at home?" ”

Zhang Chi came to the back bucket and carried a cow leg down: "Isn't this the first time to sell cattle, thinking that you have helped me a lot, I will send you a piece of meat to taste, and several families will send some."

"I'm going, so big?"

Li Qiao originally thought that it was just about ten catties, who knew that Zhang Chi had given himself a leg of a cow here, although it was a front leg, but the front leg of the cow was not a pig's front leg, and the volume was different.

"You're not going to bring me all the meat, are you?" Li Qiao felt that his family had to eat these beefs for half a month, and they still had to eat them every day.

Zhang Chi smiled: "No, it's just a small front leg." By the way, Brother Li, do you want cow heads or cow hooves at home."

Zhang Chi handed the corbel to Li Qiao, and began to flip the car bucket again, asking Li Qiao while flipping.

"No, my family can't do this."

Li Qiao put the ox leg in the back of his car, and when he heard that the cow head and cow hooves waved his hand again and again, no one in his family made these things, although he knew that these things were also good things.

"Then I'll get you some more steak and chops, I've cleaned them up, just go home and wash them," Zhang Chi said and hugged a handful of things over and put them directly in Li Qiao's back compartment.

"I'm going, you sent too much," Li Qiao said.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Eat slowly, now that the weather is cooler, you can put it in the refrigerator for a long time, and besides, this beef tastes better when stored for more than ten days." And my beef is grass-fed, and I haven't been fed any feed at all."

Beef and pork in the United States must be fed a certain amount of lean meat when they arrive at the fattening pasture, so that cattle and pigs can grow faster, which is legal in the United States and is a permitted ingredient.

Of course, these rich people don't eat beef, they pay for pure grass-fed beef, and what can ordinary people eat if they don't eat this thing?

"Then come to my house for dinner tonight, I'll ask my sister-in-law to cook you some hometown dishes, and let's have a good drink" Li Qiao sent an invitation to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said: "It's really not good, I still have something to do tonight, let's talk about it next time."

"Is there anything wrong with you now? Isn't this the time for the ranch to be free, and a batch of your cattle have been sold," Li Qiao asked.

Zhang Chi sent so much meat to him, Li Qiao was a little reluctant.

Zhang Chi said: "It's really not a shirk, but today I agreed with my aunt and uncle that I would go to their house in the evening."

"Oh, so let's do it tomorrow?" Li Qiao said.

"It really doesn't have to be like this, we all live around here, and there will be time in the future, when I finish my busy work, you can also bring your sister-in-law and children over to play when you are free" Zhang Chi said.

Li Qiao nodded.

"Let's go in and have a drink."

Li Qiao sent an invitation to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi hurriedly said: "No need, I have to send the next one here." You'd better send these things home first, I'll have to go."

After saying a few words to Li Qiao, Zhang Chi got into the car, said goodbye to Li Qiao, and drove to Aunt Phil's farm.

On the way here, I called to inform him, so Zhang Chi arrived at the gate of the farm, and Aunt Phil was already waiting at home, in addition to Aunt Phil, Uncle Phil was also at home.

"You said that you kid, you killed some cattle at home, and kept the meat for your own family to eat, why did you send it to us? ……”

Aunt Phil and Zhang Chi were polite.

Zhang Chi parked the car at the door of the house, and began to move things from the car, and the one he prepared for Aunt Phil's house was also a corbel, which was still the front leg.

In addition to the front legs, there are some offal, beef keys, and sliced steaks.

After moving everything into the house, Aunt Phil and her family insisted on pulling Zhang Chi to sit down and drink something.

"This year's cattle prices are not too good, your ranch is okay, right?"

Aunt Phil is an old and capable character, and the nearby ranches and farms are all clear, how can I not know the beef market this year, so as soon as Zhang Chi sat down, he asked with concern.

Zhang Chi replied: "My cow is also cheap, so there is still some to earn."

"The price of beef is now two or four," Uncle Phil said next to him.

"I know, when I sold it, it was still two yuan and five, but in just a few days, it has dropped to two yuan and four, and a cow is dozens of dollars gone," Zhang Chi replied.

Since Zhang Chi sold the cattle, the price of live cattle has been declining, it has only been a few days, it has already reached two yuan four, don't underestimate this two cents, put it on the body of a cow, that is thirty or forty dollars, if the number of a cow is so large, the damage to the rancher is not small.

"All sold?" Aunt Phil asked.

Zhang Chi shook his head: "No, I only sold a small batch, wait to see if the price of cattle can still rise."

Aunt Phil said: "You said that this is a trouble, the cattle seller did not make a profit, the price was low, and the beef seller over there did not save money, not only did he not save money, but the price of beef in the supermarket is rising, and a pound of steak will cost eight dollars......."

"The knife for slaughtering cattle is expensive," Uncle Phil smiled and humored.

Who knows who made the money, but no one has a way, it's really desperate to fight against monopolies, not to mention any anti-monopoly law, people are four companies, and 80% of the entire market is not controlled by one company, and no one cares if the operation is compliant or not.

Don't look at some politicians who swear how they want to do before they come to power, but as soon as they come to power, they immediately regard this as a fart.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Chi said goodbye to the New Year.

Aunt Phil saw it and said to Phil: "Don't stand stupidly, carry things to the child in the car."

Uncle Phil smiled innocently and turned to walk outside.

"Don't bring anything to me, I can't put it in the refrigerator at home now, it's all beef" Zhang Chi smiled and wanted to refuse.

Aunt Phil said, "No need to put it in the refrigerator! ”

When he went out, Zhang Chi saw Uncle Phil holding two plastic baskets in his back compartment.

When I stretched out my head to look, I found that the two boxes were full of yellow chicks, and at a glance, I knew that they had just come out of the shell, and they were all quite energetic.

"I don't have anything to give you here, I just happened to have a batch of new chickens, so I'll give you some. Your place is big, these things are just put away at will, not American chickens, all of them are our breed, although they are not big, but the meat tastes good, and they are also relieved to eat ...... by themselves."

Aunt Phil said nagging.

"Thank you" Zhang Chi didn't refuse when he heard that it was a chicken.

"There are more than twenty little geese, I won't give you ducks, and you don't have any ponds over there, so it's not too easy to feed."

"Enough, enough," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"Then I'll go, uncle, don't send it away," Zhang Chi said.

Just like that, the two of them sent Zhang Chi to the door, and watched Zhang Chi leave.

"This kid really has a heart."

Looking at Zhang Chi's disappearing pickup, Aunt Phil said.

"You Chinese are really comfortable in this kind of exchange," Uncle Phil said with a smile.

What things are sent between Americans has to be at a specific time, but among the old Chinese of Folson, it is much more frequent than this, everyone has any good things, they all want to share a point, this thing is more, what vegetable seeds, what to eat, as long as it is fresh things they have, they all want to send a little to the countrymen.

Phil feels that Chinese are more humane, while Americans generally do not do this, and they clearly distinguish but does not mean that they do not like this intimate feeling between people.

"Then you still need to say," Aunt Phil gave her husband a blank look.

Zhang Chi left Aunt Phil's house, and the last stop was naturally his uncle's house.

At this time, the work of the restaurant was almost over, the lunch time had passed, and the time for dinner had not yet arrived, Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying were sitting in the restaurant watching TV casually.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Hearing Zhang Chi's shout, the two of them immediately went out.

"It's coming!"

"It's coming!"

Zhang Chi had already gotten out of the car at this time and carried the big bull leg on his shoulder.

"You've moved a whole leg here?" Zhang Youliang was taken aback.

"There's not a whole one, it's not big, it's been divided" Zhang Chi carried the corbel and went to the house.

"You kid!" The aunt looked at her nephew carrying a cow leg into the house, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Keep it for yourself, what will you send us for, can we do this in the restaurant?" Zhang Youliang said to his nephew.

Zhang Chi said: "My own cattle are not fed anything, so they are safe."

Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying thought it was just a corbel, so they followed into the house, saw their nephew put the corbel on the table, and wanted to go outside the house again.

"Don't go, stay and eat tonight," Gu Ying said.

"There's still something outside, I also brought you some of the steak that I unloaded, and in addition, there are cow heads and cow hooves, I don't know how to get this thing, and I don't want others, so I'll send it to your family......" Zhang Chi said that the person had already arrived outside the house.

Zhang Youliang followed outside, stretched out his head and found that there were indeed a lot of things in the carriage.

"You kid, give us so much, you're almost gone," Zhang Youliang said.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle, what do you think, I killed a cow, a whole cow, if I can't even cry on this bit of meat, don't worry, my refrigerator is now full of beef."

Gu Ying was happy in her heart and felt that there were too many things, and she was happy that her nephew was thinking about the two of them, and she felt that there were too many things because she thought that the child had sent all the good things to the two of them, and she definitely didn't have much left.

"When we go back, take some back, we will take the cow head and cow hooves, and we also need some steaks, you carry the beef leg back, how much can you eat with your uncle?"

"It's going to be winter soon, this thing can be put away, if you don't believe me, I have a lot left at home, and when I go back, I will take a picture of you, and you will know how much of this meat I have at home" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
