Chapter 255: The Materials Have Arrived
After discussing it, we decided to wait until Sunday to go to the bar to watch the horse races.
However, there is another big event before the horse race, that is, Lao Xu's engineering team is going to enter the field.
Early in the morning, Zhang Chi stood under the porch, looking outside, and kept muttering something.
Outside is a light rain, the rain is not heavy, but it is not small, people walk in the rain, it must be full of raindrops.
It hasn't rained for many days, Zhang Chi really didn't expect Lao Xu to come today, and this light rain also fell, which really made people not know what to say.
Merika walked out of the door, stood next to Zhang Chi, and said to Zhang Chi: "What are you doing standing here, go back to the house, it's still a little cold outside at this time."
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned" Zhang Chi heard his daughter-in-law's concern, turned his head and grinned at her.
At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, Zhang Chi took it out and took a look, and found that it was Lao Xu calling, and immediately answered the phone.
"I said Boss Zhang, you should also repair this road."
As soon as the phone rang, Zhang Chi heard Lao Xu's complaints.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I didn't care about it for a while, Guan Jian didn't have much money, what's wrong?" ”
"The car is too heavily sunken on the road, just at the door of your ranch, please find two people, bring some wooden blocks and planks or something, otherwise the car will be stuck on the road and won't be able to drive......" Lao Xu said his predicament.
Zhang Chi immediately said that he would bring someone over.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi turned around and took a raincoat and was about to go out.
Seeing that Merica also took a raincoat, Zhang Chi said: "You don't have to go, I'll just take Cannon and Brian with me, you stay at home, if there is really no one, I'll call you again."
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Zhang Chi felt a little sorry for his daughter-in-law, the two of them were bickering, and they were fighting, but now this is a heavy job, and Zhang Chi doesn't want Merica to go in the rain.
Merica smiled and said, "I'm not as expensive as you say, when it rained in the pasture before, I used to drive a tractor without a roof, okay, don't talk more, let's go together."
Merika was not squeamish at all, took the raincoat and put it on her body, and pulled Zhang Chi to walk in the rain together.
When he walked into the rain, Zhang Chi informed Cannon and Brian, and when the two arrived at the stable, Brian had already arrived and began to prepare the saddle.
"Where's Cannon?"
Zhang Chi asked casually, and began to prepare sweat pads for his Chiyan Mountain.
Brian said, "Cannon went to the depot and drove his motorcycle, and when the time came, he would meet us at the ranch gate with his things."
Zhang Chi listened and nodded.
Everyone prepared their horses, and when it rained, the ground was softer, so the horses were much better than the machines, so only Cannon rode his quad bike with wood, and the rest of the people were all on horseback.
When we arrived at the gate of the ranch, we walked along the road together.
After a while, several large trucks were found on a small slope, needless to say, this was the transport team brought by Lao Xu.
Zhang Chi passed, Lao Xu had already gotten out of the car, he was not wearing any rain gear, the cowboy hat on his head, and the clothes on his body were wet from his shoulders.
"Lao Xu"
Zhang Chi greeted while dismounting: "Why don't you bring a rain gear, do you want to show that you are very young?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get to work, there's something going on here at the driver's master" Lao Xu smiled at Zhang Chi, then swept it over Merika and the others, and nodded with a smile to say hello.
Needless to say, Cannon and Brian are already working.
The car was stuck in the mud and couldn't climb out, and at a glance, I knew that the wheels had no friction, and the two wheels were all finished.
Everyone worked together, put a pile of broken wood pieces under the wheels, and then motioned for the driver to start to see if he could get out of the pit.
After trying the upper strength, which was not too edible, everyone continued to add pieces of wood to the pit.
"Lao Li, try again".
Lao Xu shouted at the driver in the front of the car.
At this time, a rectangular wooden ridge was stuffed under the wheel, and Lao Xu, Zhang Chi and several others each took an iron fiber and resisted the wooden ridge.
With the sound of the machine motor, the car finally moved, and crawled out of the mud.
The first car passed, but the rest of the cars did not come forward, and everyone threw some pieces of wood into the big pit first.
"This road should really be repaired"
Zhang Chi looked at the big mud pit in front of him and said to himself.
Originally, I didn't feel much about it, but now that it rained and the cart came, Zhang Chi found that the simple path at his door really didn't match his identity.
"You go to apply, I'll find someone to help you repair it when the time comes, don't worry, you still don't worry about the quality of my construction?"
Lao Xu, who had sharp ears, heard Zhang Chi's dripping sound, and then volunteered.
Zhang Chi looked at Lao Xu in surprise: "Will you do this too?" ”
Lao Xu smiled: "I used to do engineering when I was in China, not to mention a small road like yours, even if it was a bridge across the river, I also participated."
Lao Xu said a little proudly.
Zhang Chi didn't believe it, what kind of project is the bridge across the river, even if Zhang Chi has not been in contact with it, then he knows this kind of project, just like Lao Xu, at most, he will beat a side drum and shout twice to transport a cement mortar or something.
It's normal for middle-aged men to brag about bull coins or something, who can guarantee that they won't brag about bull coins for the rest of their lives.
"Can you?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lao Xu said: "When have you heard me brag, your path is a matter of minutes."
"That daughter-in-law, you talk to Lao Xu about the next thing," Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu heard that Zhang Chi pushed the matter to Merica, his face was a little bitter, these days, Lao Xu has been entangled with Merica, and he knows that this woman is not simple at all.
He didn't bother Merika, but he felt that Zhang Chi's daughter-in-law was really cost-effective. He is very serious about doing things, and he can pay attention to small things while having a big picture.
When Zhang Chi and Lao Xu were doing things before, Lao Xu said that Zhang Chi felt that it was almost the same, but it was not at all good to Merika, she would repeatedly scrutinize many details, and they had to be determined in writing.
It's troublesome to do business with this kind of person, but on the other hand, it's easy to do business with this kind of person, and all the details are completely finalized, so there will be no bad things in the future.
In short, Lao Xu likes to do business with Merica, has a reputation, understands the process and has guidelines, this is a good business partner.
"Okay".
Lao Xu didn't think about pit Zhangchi, he did things steadily among his Chinese compatriots, and he wouldn't make any small moves, and you could take advantage of the customer's small advantage, but if you stink your reputation, the business will definitely not be long-term.
There is a little connection between the Chinese people living in the United States, especially in places like the West, if you have a bad reputation, then no one will ask you to work.
"I don't think we can move for the time being, we don't have any money left now," Merica laughed.
Lao Xu also followed suit: "It's okay, if you have money, just say it, don't say anything else, it has to be better than the road next to it!" ”
Several cars all passed, and several people were also sweating slightly.
Everyone followed the car forward, looking while walking, for fear of encountering such a big pit just now, but luckily, from here to the gate of the ranch, never encountered a deep mud pit like just now, even if it was occasionally a little pit or something, the car itself passed.
Once at the ranch, the truck drivers pulled their cars to a halt.
Can't go in, even if the drivers are willing, Zhang Chi is not happy, such a big guy is running over in the pasture, do you want your own pasture?
The next task is to unload the cargo.
The car in the back carried a small forklift, and Zhang Chi's ranch also had two, so the three forklifts were unloaded together, which saved a lot of time.
All the building materials are packaged very well, waterproof packaging, not waterproof is another packaging, all things are classified into a simple square, of course, like some beams and the like there is no way, but these things are also wrapped in several layers, and it is waterproof and collisional.
Everything was unloaded, a large tarpaulin was placed on it, and several truck drivers, who were also from China, were leaving.
It's not that they don't know how to unload the truck, which is the industry rule. But Zhang Chi's side is an exception, they all belong to the Chinese, and it is reasonable to do a favor or something.
After unloading the goods, a few people are leaving.
Zhang Chi immediately exerted the enthusiasm of our Chinese, which is really not a fiction, but a real invitation to dinner.
"Let's stay at home for a meal, I've been busy for a while, I tell you, I don't have anything else here, just good beef, good mutton, and good wine at home," Zhang Chi said to several masters.
"Next time, this time we really have something, soon we have to rush to Waterfall City to load the goods, if we don't leave now, others may have to get off work, next time come over to taste your beef and mutton or something, I have long heard Lao Xu say that the meat of your ranch is good, don't worry, we will definitely come when we have time" Lao Li, the driver of the head car, said with a smile.
Zhang Chi listened and took out his wallet from his pocket: "In that case, let's follow the habits of the Americans."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not come as Americans, we are not used to this" Lao Li and others hurriedly shirked.
Everyone tugged for a while, and seeing that these people refused to accept the tips they gave, Zhang Chi could only invite them again to have time to come over for dinner.
After a few polite words with Zhang Chi, Lao Li and the others drove out of the ranch.
It's empty now, and for these high-powered trucks, that little pothole just now isn't even a fart.
Lao Xu didn't follow the car, he sat in the small bucket behind Cannon's motorcycle, and followed Merica and Zhang Chi back to the house.
When he arrived at the house, Zhang Chi found a piece of clothing for Lao Xu to change into.
Lao Xu and Zhang Chi sat under the corridor for a while, and then began to sigh.
When this house was built, Lao Xu said that he would look for him next time Zhang Chi built a house, and he never thought that it would only be a year later, and Zhang Chi would really build a new house.
