Chapter 117: Empty Joy
Uncle Gu Ying suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Chi, "Have the goose chickens at home laid eggs?" ”
"It's down," Zhang Chi replied immediately.
"But Cannon and I rarely eat, where do we eat, when we want to eat, we touch one, and if we don't want to eat, we leave it for the hens and hens to hatch, and now there are two batches of chicks and one gosling."
Gu Ying said: "If you wait too much, you will sell it."
Zhang Chi smiled, where does he see this little money now, you say more eggs at home, in fact, it's a little embarrassing, it's not worth the gas money for a trip to the city, you say don't sell it, he and Cannon really can't eat it.
For example, eggs can still be consumed, and goose eggs are not eaten by either Zhang Chi or Cannon, because this thing is too fishy, and it has to be taken care of before it can be eaten in the mouth, but with the effort to take care of it, you can get a full stomach if you get something, so why spend this time.
Another point is that it is too troublesome to sell some things here, and you have to apply for all kinds of certificates, so the little things produced at home are not worth selling at all.
Of course, it's okay not to apply for a permit, in case you get caught, then it's the same as Cannon this time, and you'll be fined.
The servants were chatting and washing duck eggs.
The washed duck eggs were put next to the heater to dry, and the top of the duck eggs was dried, and the aunt wiped all the eggs with high liquor, and the wiped eggs were dried again, and there was no water on the eggs, so the eggs were put into the jar.
Four jars of eggs, and finally salted water sealed the mouth of the jar, placed in the corner of the house, and quietly waited for the delicious taste brought by time.
After getting these out, the guests in the restaurant came up one after another, and Zhang Chi helped to do the work of running the hall again.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the guests were all gone, and after the three of them finished eating together, Zhang Chi returned to his ranch with seven or eight boxes of vegetables.
In the next time, Zhang Chi spent almost all of his time in his own pasture, and there was no way, as he got closer to Christmas, the colder the weather became, and from time to time there would be such a snow, big and small, depending on God's face.
Not only Zhang Chi, but most of the pastures in Amber Town have entered hibernation mode, and everyone will not leave the gate of the ranch at all unless they have to.
The only lively bar in town is also a lot less crowded these days.
Zhang Chi has also changed from the original almost four or five times a week to two or three times a week.
The cattle in the pasture are almost sold, and it is not time to buy new cattle, and it is not until March to buy new cattle at the earliest, if the weather temperature rises quickly, it may be in mid-March, and if it rises slowly, it is possible in early April and mid-April.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
The snow in the past few days has sealed Zhang Chi in the pasture, and finally the snow stopped today, and the sun showed its face, although the temperature change is not big when it comes out and not out, but a few days of snow, it is always a happy thing to come on a sunny day.
So Zhang Chi was going to go to the bar for a drink.
Riding up the Red Flame Mountain, Zhang Chi swayed to the bar, now the snow in Zhang Chi's ranch has reached his knees, and the car can be driven, but it is not as convenient as the horse.
At the fork in the road, Zhang Chi met the family he least wanted to see, that is, his neighbor.
"Mr. Zhang, where is this going?"
Now it's not like I couldn't see Zhang Chi before, every time I see Zhang Chi, I show a strong enthusiasm, which makes Zhang Chi can't help but want to lift his pants and rub them to avoid egg itching.
"I'm going to go to the little bar in town, where are you going?" Zhang Chi still had to pretend to be enthusiastic.
"Let's go skiing, do you want to go together?" Good neighbor said.
Zhang Chi said: "Forget it, I won't."
Skiing here in winter is a popular project, there are three ski clubs nearby, large and small, attracting many people to come, originally a ski club was going to be built in the west of the town, but now there is no movement, and I don't know if it was the last time the protest took effect, or how to drop, anyway, there is no news at all now.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Chi really doesn't want to have anything to do with this family, he has to think about it for a long time to say a word, you say that you are tired or not.
The good neighbor didn't want to talk to Zhang Chi anymore, so he said that we were leaving, and jumped out with one foot on the accelerator.
"The daughter-in-law is pretty good."
Zhang Chi is still the first time to see a good neighbor's daughter-in-law, don't say it's really okay to be long, although she is a little old, but the style of a half-old is like a ripe persimmon, hot and red.
It doesn't matter much to Zhang Chi if the daughter-in-law is wrong, Guan Jian is a good neighbor doesn't know what to buy cattle, and it is not clear whether he can take advantage of the bargain he thinks before returning to China.
When he arrived at the door of the bar, Zhang Chi tied the horse, and before he entered the bar, he heard a lot of scolding in the bar.
Push the door open and enter, and find that the cowboys are all watching TV.
As soon as he saw the *** on TV, Zhang Chi suddenly understood.
Americans, especially Americans in the west, have hatred for Russia that is almost engraved in their bones, and the influence of the era of the US-Soviet hegemony is far from disappearing in the hearts of Americans, and many Americans still feel that Maozi is their number one enemy, and as for China, it is the biggest competitor.
In a small bar, you can enjoy such a big scolding, except for the American dish cooking party, I am afraid that there is only ***.
Zhang Chi still sat next to the bar.
Kimberly didn't need Zhang Chi to order, she directly brought him a bottle of beer and a snack.
"Again?" Zhang Chi took the beer and snorted at the cowboys.
Kimberly laughed: "The Russians are threatening the countries of Eastern Europe again".
Oh!
When Zhang Chi heard this, isn't this just a rehash of the same old tune, nothing new, the Americans are now flirting with some countries in Eastern Europe, and some stupid people in Eastern Europe also believe in the Americans, and they are desperately trying to squeeze into the circle of Americans, and the Russians are naturally not happy to see such a situation.
But now the strength of the Russians does not allow them to think too much, the Russians' economy is already very bad, and the GDP is estimated to be about the same as that of the provinces in the country.
Where is there still that strength to influence the original younger brothers of the former Red Empire in the surrounding area.
In addition, there are many two or five children in Eastern Europe, so there is a pulp lake over there.
Anyway, in Zhang Chi's eyes, Americans are not good birds, you say that it is not good for you to save some money and spend something at home, you have to dump your pot everywhere, isn't it a pain for idle eggs.
"How's the price of grass now?"
Zhang Chi finally asked something related to himself.
Last year, Zhang Chi saved a lot of forage, and now there is a bit more material for winter winter, one is that there is more originally cut, and the other is that the cattle can eat the grass under the snow during the day.
If you sell it now, you can earn almost 1780,000 US dollars.
Of course, if the price rises, Zhang Chi will earn more.
Kimberly stretched out her hand and pointed to the blackboard behind her, and Zhang Chi saw that the price of today's forage was written on it.
"Haven't gone up yet?"
This price is about the same as what I saw half a month ago.
Kimberly said: "Now that the price is already very high, what if it rises again?" ”
At this time, the cowboy interface next to him said: "It is estimated that it will not grow, who still has how many cattle in their hands now, most of the ones that can be sold are sold to fattening companies, fattening companies do not need too much pasture, in my opinion, maybe this year's grass will fall."
Listening to the old cowboy's words, Zhang Chi began to weigh it in his heart.
What the old cowboy said is not unreasonable, because the price of cattle this year is relatively high, and now it is three yuan and two, and many ranchers have cleared the bottom, at least almost all the ranchers on Amber's side have sold the cattle that can be sold.
Some people will say that the sale of cattle is not that there are fewer cattle, but that the cattle have moved from cattle pastures to fattening pastures, and the demand for forage will not decrease.
This is not true, because most of the fattening pastures used to feed cattle are not pasture, but feed, which is made up of corn, oats, etc., with a small amount of clenbuterol added to it.
Don't be surprised, Chinese people must be shocked when they hear Clenbuterol, but this thing is allowed to be added in the United States, as long as it is not excessive, it is legal.
If you want the cattle to grow beautiful fat, first, you have to feed the cattle, and secondly, you have to confine the cattle to a small space, so that they move less, and the more they move, the fat will naturally accumulate in the cattle's body.
According to the standard of breeding of this kind of cattle, it mainly depends on the fat content, from M to M, as for what marble or something, to put it bluntly, it is fat vein.
So Zhang Chi sometimes wonders why some people in China always promote this high-fat beef, and even guide people to pursue this kind of beef.
On the one hand, these people promote this kind of beef, and on the other hand, they tell you to have less oil, and Chinese food is unhealthy with more oil, which is completely schizophrenia.
"Do you have grass at home and want to sell it?"
Kimberly asked at Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi replied: "It's not much, there are still some more, isn't it almost the same cattle sold here, and I don't need so much pasture."
"It's okay now, but of course, it's okay to wait, and by the end of January and early February, the price of forage may go up a bit," Kimberly said.
"I think so too," Zhang Chi said casually.
At this time, a cowboy pushed the door and walked in, and the guy shouted at the door, "Good news, the new ranch to the west is hiring."
"Which ranch?"
Hearing what the cowboy said, Zhang Chi understood that the owner wanted to recruit the cowboy when he broke into another part of the lion ranch.
"Cowboy at this time?"
Everyone thought it was quite a surprise.
"Three thousand dollars a month, more than a dozen people".
The cowboy who entered the door said.
"Vark!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses.
This price directly doubled everyone's salary.
"What are the requirements?"
A lot of cowboys in the bar felt their chance had come.
Although everyone has a job in their hands now, who can refuse such a salary.
However, when the cowboy who entered the door said the conditions, many people stopped the fire, because the requirements were very high.
Zhang Chi listened and asked Kimberly: "With such a high condition, many people don't meet it, right?" ”
Kimberly replied: "People don't want ordinary cowboys, this one is going to build a horse farm and raise his own horses, and the requirements are naturally high." A horse needs to be taken care of by three people, do you say that people can not ask for it?"
Listening to Kimberly continue to talk for a while, Zhang Chi understood that this rancher was really rich, and people bought thousands of acres of pasture and didn't raise anything else at all, so they raised dozens of horses, and what can be favored by this kind of rich people is naturally boutique horses.
These horses cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars, so it is natural to recruit some good cowboys to serve these horses.
One of the requirements for cowboys is to be able to speak two or more foreign languages.
As soon as this condition comes out, how many cowboys in the neighborhood are qualified? If the American cowboy here really knows two or three foreign languages, who would pay 1,000 yuan a month to herd cattle.
If the black family is there, he can speak Spanish, Portuguese or something, but how can this kind of boss hire a black household?
So, the cowboys in the bar are kind of cats and pigs peeing bubbles - empty rejoicing.
