Chapter 291: It's Raining Heavily

Zhang Chi stood under the porch of the room, looking at the workers who were working not far away through a layer of rain curtains.

The rain is not small, this weather forecast is really not accurate, the original light rain, originally said a day, now this light rain into moderate rain, light rain into moderate rain, moderate rain into light rain, just like this has been raining for almost three days, not to mention anything else, the small river next to the town is overflowing.

Zhang Chi also wanted to go to the side of the river to catch some fish, but the fish did not catch, and his own pond was also flooded.

After watching the rain for a while, and then at the busy workers over there, Zhang Chi turned around and went back to the house.

Merica was sitting in a rocking chair and reading a book, not an idle book, but a professional book on economics. For his daughter-in-law's spirit of curiosity, Zhang Chi has a heart of bowing.

He really didn't understand why anyone could read such a book with relish.

Lao Zhang can't do it, he looks at a professional book, he is sleepy, but if he looks at some picture albums, he is not sleepy, whether it is human or animal, or scenery, he is not sleepy, but when he sees a large area of words, whether it is Chinese or English, he is sleepy.

"What are you doing here, can't you just sit honestly for a while? It's going to rain, what can you do with it, you can't turn it, just stop."

Merika's eyes didn't leave the book, and she said to Zhang Chi while flipping through the book.

"Aren't I in a hurry," Zhang Chi said.

The cows in the gourd are trying to figure it out, what a delay this guy has.

"What's the hurry, if the cow in the mountains belongs to you, then it must belong to you, and no one else can take it away if they have already gone, and if it doesn't belong to you, you may not find it by the side of the road, just like the Nell family," Merica said.

Merica thinks that her husband at the moment is like a monkey without a belly, why can't he do it, the mountains are so fun? Makes you so worried.

The Nell family was a little unhappy at this time, there was a herd of cattle on their family's route, and they didn't find it when they passed by on the first day, but as soon as they passed, it was almost less than twenty minutes later, and when the other people passed by, they found the herd, not big, more than a hundred cows.

The family stood on the top of the hill and watched from the bottom of the hill as others took away the cattle that almost belonged to them.

Although there are only more than 100 cows, they can be divided into tens of thousands of yuan per person, which is a real income.

This made the Nell family regret all their intestines, and the family spent a few days in the mountains in vain, and finally came back in the rain, and when they returned, two of them were sick.

Zhang Chi didn't go to visit or anything, as long as he was not hospitalized here, ordinary people didn't have to visit, and the people who went to visit were quite good friends, or relatives, and the average was okay.

Besides, it's a cold, and others are afraid of infection.

Cannon heard the news from the bar.

Now the pasture is really nothing, if it is not raining, you can harvest some grass, but now that it is raining so much, what should I do when the grass is harvested, and it is all rained on it, and it must not be dried? Rather than this, it is better to just wait for the weather to be good before harvesting.

The ranch was fine, so Cannon took the newcomer to the bar when he was free, and heard the news of Nell's house.

There is no joke about their family, one is because adventure is brave for these people, even if it is not rewarding, it is worthy of respect, and they do not feel how others fail because they fail.

In addition, many families are also wondering whether their families should go to the mountains to find cattle, after all, these are all money.

As a commercial society, the United States spreads everything quickly.

Now this new breed of black cattle, the price has been slowly rising, the price of live, a pound has reached about four yuan, with the big body of the black bull, a big bull is now thousands of dollars larger.

If it's a good-looking bull, the price is higher.

This made Zhang Chi really not think that the price of this cow had risen much faster than when he sold it last year.

Originally, the good neighbor spent money to buy Lao Xu's cattle, and many people still thought it seemed to be a bit expensive, but now no one said that the good neighbor bought it was expensive, because now the cattle he bought can earn at least 50% of the profit as long as he is willing to sell.

The price of cattle has risen again, but there are fewer people selling cattle, and the batch of cattle that Zhang Chi encountered when he came back from the city last time was directly held in his hands and watched.

Zhang Chi didn't say anything to Merika, but sat down next to her and began to think about going up the mountain.

Everything is almost ready, and it is time to go up the mountain after the weather is clear.

Everything was also prepared, in addition to food and drink, there were also three spears, three rifles to be exact, and two pistols, which were carried on the road to prepare for self-defense.

If you can't find the cattle, you probably won't need them, but to find the cattle, you must have the means to protect the income, there are few crimes here, and the law and order is relatively good, but in the mountains, no one wants to test the conscience of others with their own lives.

If you have to do this, we Chinese have a saying: what mountain does not bury a few lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Don't believe in the quality of foreigners, the ancestors made their fortune by robbing, and the planting is not good, no matter how simple you are, you will ask for more blessings.

Anyway, Zhang Chi would not be so naïve.

Both Canon and Brian suggested bringing guns, Cannon's no guns, but the ranch had guns, and for security reasons, Cannon could also carry a gun.

So each of the three of them carried a rifle, that is, a spear, and Zhang Chi and Brian also had two pistols.

That's the team's defensive strength.

In addition to these, there is also food and drink, mainly canned, all kinds of canned food, we Chinese have nothing to do and rarely eat canned food, feel that this thing is not too delicious, or do not have this habit, but for Americans, canned food is actually a very common thing in life, usually when they are fine, they will use canned food as a material for cooking.

In addition to canned food, there are also some dry goods, which do not take up space, such as beef jerky and the like.

There is food, of course, and drinking, and the water is not much, but it has a small water purification device, which can filter out seven or eight liters of water in an hour, which is enough for three people to drink and cook in the wild.

Needless to say, very few Americans, especially cowboys, don't have this stuff, so just prepare their own stuff.

As for the point of grazing cattle, Zhang Chi has to think about it carefully, there are too many people in the mountains now, and he feels that if he wants to find a place with few people, he has to be not far from his own ranch.

He didn't want to drive a herd of cattle over the mountains, there was no need for that.

Merika saw that Zhang Chi ignored herself, raised her head and put down the book in her hand, and saw that Zhang Chi's eyes were a little scattered, and she knew that she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?"

Merika reached out and pushed Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi came back to his senses and smiled at Merika and said, "I'm thinking about what kind of difficulty I can play tonight!" ”

Merica laughed and said, "Then I'll see you perform."

For talking about this matter, at least Merika didn't show any shyness, and sometimes joking can make Zhang Chi blush.

"Okay, I'll go to the pond to take a look, I don't know how many fish have run," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Merica laughed and said, "Be careful that someone from the environmental department finds you."

"Without me, this pond is gone, and they haven't done their job well," Zhang Chi pouted.

Now Zhang Chi's pond is leaking, but the harm caused by Asian carp in the United States was not made by Zhang Chi, the first was made by the Americans themselves, and the water purification was also invited by these fish elders from Asia, but it turned out that the grass was not cured, and the fish were rotten.

Merica smiled, leaning her head back on the couch and narrowing her eyes.

Seeing Merica's appearance, Zhang Chi was really a little worried, Melica was not like this before, she could be energetic when she worked seventeen or eighteen hours a day, but now she has nothing to do every day, but she has to be sleepy from time to time.

However, Zhang Chi didn't say it, but took this matter to heart, and was ready to find a time to call and ask his cousin, that is, Brother Dawen.

Merica was also sleeping fast now, and in a few moments, she was even breathing.

Zhang Chi changed into a raincoat, changed into rubber shoes, and rode to the Tangzi side together on Chiyan Mountain.

When I got to the side of the pond, I looked up and saw a herd of cows hiding in a small forest not far away.

At this time, you can see the status of the cow in the herd, the low-status cow stands outside, and it is normal to get drenched in the rain, and the high-status cow hides under the big tree, and hardly gets any rain.

At this time, the pastures are lined up like a large umbrella, providing shelter for the cattle from the rain.

Which cow gets drenched in the rain and which one doesn't get drenched, there is not much difference for Zhang Chi, if he catches a cold or something, this group of cattle doesn't seem to be easy to get, so as long as he doesn't see the cow go crazy, then there is nothing wrong with this group of cows.

Zhang Chi noticed the herd because the guy Scarft was standing outside now, a person, no, a cow standing in the rain, as if it was a two-hundred-and-five-in-a-concave shape.

Thanks to Scar's gaze, Zhang Chi didn't find anything, and the small forest over there didn't seem to be a place where he could hide anything.

After glancing at Scarf, Zhang Chi turned his gaze to the pond again.

From the time he found that the pond was empty, Zhang Chi and Lao Xu laid a circle of nets around them to stop the fish.

Zhang Chi didn't know if he stopped it or not, but at this moment, he looked at the water and seemed to find that the fish didn't seem to be much less.

There are no fewer fish in the pond, which is a gratifying thing, but if this rain continues like this, the pond will be gone, and the fish will be difficult to keep.
