Chapter 149: Buying a Horse
Burris and the others said a lot, but Zhang Chi didn't hear it at all, and now he was thinking about one thing in his mind, can he make a thoroughbred horse with a gourd?
Okay, then make a lot of money, no? That's all for nothing!
With Zhang Chi's character, he will definitely not come up and gamble on a big one, and directly buy an excellent thoroughbred horse to try his luck in the race.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but how can such a horse be cheap, with a good bloodline, a well-proportioned body, and a fast speed, and it can be Zhang Chi's turn to pick up this cheap?
As soon as this kind of horse is born, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, just the three melons and two dates in Zhang Chi's waist bag are not enough for a watch money on someone else's wrist, why fight with others?
So Zhang Chi feels that he needs a pathfinder stone, if the effect of the gourd is significant, then Zhang Chi gritted his teeth and had to buy a good horse to make money on the track, if not, then Zhang Chi is not a loss, a thousand pieces, now for Zhang Chi drizzle, a little Yixi!
Needless to say, this pathfinder stone points to Mason's horse farm.
Spending a little money to do big things, Zhang Chi feels that he is really smart.
I felt that someone had patted me, and when I turned my head to see that it was Nell.
Nell said, "Gone."
Zhang Chi found that everyone in the room stood up and walked towards the door, and some people close to the door had already begun to put their coats on their bodies.
Zhang Chi followed Nell and Serol to the door.
"George, are you free at the beginning of spring?" Nell asked.
Zhang Chi thought for a while: "I don't know, but most of the time it's fine."
"If it's all right, please do me a favor, it may take you two or three days for my cattle to come back from the winter pastures," said Nell.
Zhang Chi understood that this and the cattle of the Nell family were going to be transferred, from the winter pasture back to the current pasture.
"Okay, if it's nothing big by then, I'll definitely go," Zhang Chi said.
Nell nodded: "The salary will be calculated according to the cowboy at that time, can it?" ”
"We'll talk about the wages and stuff when the time comes."
Americans generally give you money when they ask you to work, the difference is whether others want it or not, and very good friends will also collect money, and whether to collect money or not has little to do with the two people, and it will not affect the relationship between the two.
Zhang Chi wants to experience the old ranch management method of transferring, as for whether the money is money or not, it doesn't matter, and Nell has a good relationship with him, he is a good friend, please help, then Zhang Chi will naturally not refuse.
Put on a coat and a hat, Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain and said goodbye to Nell and the others at the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi took the road, while most of the others came by car, so everyone took different roads.
All the way back to the pasture, Zhang Chi put Chiyan Mountain into the stable.
"BOSS, I've been drinking for a long time today, what's going on?"
Cannon, who was working, saw that Zhang Chi was back, so he asked with a shovel.
Generally speaking, Zhang Chi doesn't go to the bar for too long, if it is, something must have happened, and Cannon knows this very well.
Zhang Chi said: "Old Mason's ranch is going bankrupt, and everyone is discussing how to pull him."
Cannon said: "Even if it is pulled this time, what about next time?" ”
Cannon has been working here for more than ten years, how could he not understand the character of old Mason, and say the key factors in one mouth.
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say, he really couldn't help anyone else in this matter except himself.
"Forget it, I'm going to buy a few horses," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon was surprised, and opened his mouth to ask: "Boss, we have a lot of horses on the ranch, and there are five horses that have been kept in the stable, so I don't think we can add horses."
Now that there are seven horses in the ranch, who will add them to ride? If you are also a tourist ranch, you will talk about the past, but now you are a herding and two of you, what do you do to buy so many horses.
Even if you need it, you can buy it when the time comes, everything in the United States can be expensive, but horses can't be expensive, there are tens of thousands of discarded horses in the wild, when can't you buy a horse?
Zhang Chi is not easy to say, he thinks that Cannon's equestrian skills are general, and when his grandparents come over in the summer, they want to ride a horse, and it is estimated that it is dangerous to ride the horse you practice, and I want to feel much more at ease when riding a horse practiced by other Masons.
I had to say: "Buy more, and when the ranch expands, we will use our own breeding horses."
Cannon didn't know what the boss was like, and this reason seemed a bit nonsense to him, but the boss decided, and he stopped talking.
"Then I'll go with you then," Cannon was afraid that his boss would not have enough eyesight, so he bought a few rotten horses and came back.
Zhang Chi said: "That's natural, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, let's go together, when the time comes, you can see what we can use at Mason Racecourse, and buy it together at a suitable price."
Cannon said: "There is really nothing needed for the pasture, we also have agricultural machinery here, although it is not much, but it is enough, as for the rest, I can't think of anything missing."
The agricultural machinery that Zhang Chi bought arrived, tractors, sprinkling trailers, trailers for harvesting pastures, and others are not commonly used.
"Let's see then, you go to bed early, I'll go back to the house first," Zhang Chi said.
"Okay, boss," Cannon said he understood, bowed his head and went on with his work.
When he got home and fed the ink, Zhang Chi went to take a bath, and when Zhang Chi came out, he found that the three were lying on the ink bowl not far away, looking at the ink who was eating.
Zhang Chi didn't even feed the two dogs, how could he feed three now.
If you want to live here in Zhang Chi, you have to learn to do it yourself, if you don't catch mice, then you have to catch birds, in short, there are a lot of things to catch in the pasture, if you want to eat, you have to be diligent, want to be lazy? That's impossible.
As for why Ink has to eat, because Ink is still a child of several pounds, not to mention that Ink is no longer a cat, but a black mountain lion.
What man doesn't have a dream of raising wild beasts? Zhang Chi also has it, so it's certain that the ink is loved.
Squatted down and knocked twice on the door of Sanjo's head: "Catch the mouse, see what other people's bowls are doing?" It's really not good to catch rabbits, when the second dog is as big as you, the birds don't dare to fall down wherever they walk, look at your cowardice."
After scolding two or three sentences, Zhang Chi came to the side of the ink, stretched out his hand and stroked the hair of the ink: "Good, eat slowly."
Sanjo glanced at Zhang Chi, stood up and meowed a few times, and walked towards the door with a scolding.
went to bed, the electric blanket was turned on, the quilt was hot, and after swiping his mobile phone for a while, Zhang Chi was ready to sleep.
After sleeping for a while, I always felt that there was something in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, I found that the ink was lying on the side of my head, and this guy was snoring a lot from sleep, and it was directly aimed at his ears.
"Go aside!"
Zhang Chi carried the neck of the ink and lifted the ink away from the side of his head.
The ink didn't open his eyes during the whole process, like a boneless leather strip, and was carried to his feet by Zhang Chi.
Keep sleeping.
When he opened his eyes in the morning, Zhang Chi found that there was an extra fluffy head next to his neck, and he didn't know when the ink came over again, and he slept on his back.
I got up and worked to make breakfast, and the rest of the day passed so uneventfully.
Getting up early this morning, Zhang Chi and Cannon finished the work on the ranch, ate breakfast, and then drove the cattle out of the cowshed and cleaned the cowshed.
Departing from the ranch at ten o'clock in the morning, both of them rode horses and did not drive, because Zhang Chi decided to buy a few horses today, so the two thought that it would be more convenient to drive the horses back at that time than to drive.
Originally, the two of them thought that they had come earlier, and there should be no talent at Mason Racecourse, but who would have thought that Mason Racecourse is now full of traffic.
There are a lot of people I don't know, and there are no less than 20 cars parked at the gate of the ranch alone.
This is a small thing in China, but in Amber Town, it is a big scene, except for various festivals, it is rare to have so many cars together.
"Why is she here?"
Seeing a car, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning.
Cannon followed his boss's gaze and saw a big off-road, what was the car that wasn't often driven by Merica?
"Miss Merica is here too," Cannon laughed.
"This little girl, where there is really a cheapness, there is her," Zhang Chi muttered.
Zhang Chi really guessed right, Merica really came to take advantage, she knew that Mason's fame, although it has declined a little bit over the years, but excellent trainers will always get a little more attention.
Merica came over to see if there was any leakage to pick up, as the saying goes, no profit is too early, and the possible benefits made Merica appear at Mason Racecourse early in the morning.
Zhang Chi and Cannon were at the door, tied their horses, and walked into the horse farm together.
Now that all the horses in the horse farm have been driven out, it is understandable that they can't let thoroughbreds and thoroughbreds come out if they don't come out.
There weren't many people who wanted to buy them, so there weren't many people next to the fence, and the five or six people were far less crowded than there were in the stables over there.
Cannon asked Zhang Chi at this time, "BOSS, how many horses should we buy?" ”
"Four horses, four horses," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon nodded, and began to look around the fence.
Zhang Chi here is chatting with the guy who is watching the fence here, so many people are here today, Mason alone must not be able to greet him, so there are some volunteers in the racecourse, that is, people who work for nothing without paying, and they are all people nearby, Zhang Chi naturally knows each other, so when Cannon picks the horse, Zhang Chi and these people are.
"Why are so many people here?" Zhang Chi asked.
"I want to come and see if there is anything to pick up, Mason's level of horse training is very famous in the whole Folsom area, and now I hear that Mason Racecourse is going bankrupt, this group of people naturally want to come and see."
Just when Zhang Chi was talking nonsense, Merica's voice came from his ears: "Why are you back?" When did you come back? ”
Zhang Chi turned his head and found that Merica was glaring at him, as if he shouldn't come back.
