Chapter 304: Busy
Zhang Chi whispered: The guys who collect money are always so active.
In the direction of the crowd, Zhang Chi walked over slowly, and when he was halfway down, he met a cowboy who returned, a cowboy belonging to the Colorado ranch, Zhang Chi knew but was not familiar with it, but now, it is quite familiar.
"What's going on over there, who's that?" Zhang Chi asked.
The cowboy replied, "The IRS guys, except for them, who have sniffed money with their noses and come here." This time, they said that all the cattle found in the mountains should be taxed at the prices now on the market. These people are really poor and insane."
Zhang Chi didn't understand it too much, but anyway, he knew that his herd of cattle had been picked up, but there was a bunch of dogs who didn't spend any effort, but they wanted to take away a large part of their hard-earned income.
Don't think it's okay to give some money, this thing doesn't charge you more than 20 points up, so it's not called US tax.
Reluctant!
But what if you can't bear it? If people have big fists, then they have to listen to others.
continued to walk towards the crowd, and when he arrived, Zhang Chi stood beside Merica.
Merica was looking at the tax office personnel who were counting the cattle with Cannon and the others, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person standing next to her, so she turned her head to look.
found out that it was Zhang Chi, so he said with a smile: "Woke up?" ”
Zhang Chi nodded and hummed, and then asked Merica: "Why did these guys come early, when did they come so quickly when my ranch dropped something."
Zhang Chi, who said cool words, couldn't stop looking at the staff.
Merica chuckled under her breath, didn't say a word, and continued to look at the staff, as if she was afraid that they had hacked one of her calves.
The inventory of the cattle here is a little slow, I don't know how Cannon deliberately or how to drop, there is always a cow by cow, and it has to be labeled, each cow takes a lot of time, you must know that there are more than 2,000 heads here, even if half of the cattle are ear tags and branded with the mark of the pasture, how much time does it take in total?
Anyway, Cannon is not in a hurry, the cowboys in Zhang Chi Ranch are not in a hurry, what is anxious is this group of staff, since they want to count first-hand data, then they have to wait honestly, otherwise they will end up by themselves.
It is estimated that these people are not as good as Lian Zhangchi, and there may be professionals such as accountants, but their profession obviously does not help much with counting cattle.
The staff actually saw that the cowboys at Zhang Chi Ranch didn't have a good impression of them, in fact, they also knew that they were not welcome, and they were probably used to it.
At this time, they are not as righteous as in the TV series, they are all handsome coin people, and the women are either beautiful or have excellent temperament.
Now these people are standing in front of Zhang Chi, most of them are ordinary people, and there are two crooked melons and inferior dates mixed with them, which looks a little painful.
Zhang Chi didn't want to see these people, so he summoned Brien over.
Brian came over and opened his mouth to ask, "Boss, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and nodded: "Let Cannon stop tossing them, hurry up and play with the number, and let them get out of my ranch."
What can Zhang Chi talk about the sub-director, climbing the relationship, a group of small hairy soldiers who count cows, where is Zhang Chi willing to talk to them.
Brian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over and tell him, everyone sees that these guys are dissatisfied, and think of a way to rectify them, since you said so, let's not worry about them."
Hearing Brian say this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Merica.
Melika saw Zhang Chi looking at herself, and smiled, and Zhang Chi didn't know if it was Merica's meaning.
Cannon: They are not afraid of their revenge for making trouble for these people, because as long as you don't break the law, in fact, they can't do anything about you.
Of course, these things exist, but these two hands can't be used on these people in Zhang Chi Ranch, generally speaking, this kind of move is used on people who have no relatives, no background, and no money, and ranchers like Zhang Chi will generally not have nothing to toss.
Brian went over and talked to Cannon.
Cannon asked everyone to count first, that is, to count the number of cattle, and at the same time to classify the big cow and the calf, how much the big cow is, how much the calf is, the price is different.
With Zhang Chi's words, everyone moved too fast, and in less than twenty minutes, the number of cattle was counted, and a total of 2,173 cows were driven back, including 1,300 cows, 79 bulls, and the rest were all calves.
Merica already knew the number of cows, in fact, Cannon had counted them in the morning, and now the count here is just a joke.
"Have you thought about what to do with these cows now?" Merica asked.
Zhang Chi really thought about it, opened his mouth and said: "Transporting a batch to the ranch in Colorado, the density of that ranch is too small, I think it can be loaded with more than 2,000 heads, right?" ”
Merika shook her head: "I can't let go of so many cows, you forgot, there is still a supply of forage for the horse farm in China."
"How much can a horse eat!"
Zhang Chi felt that the horse farm he had seen was indeed quite large, but no matter how big this horse farm was, there were only a few hundred small horses in it, and Merika was thousands of acres in the pasture, plus her own beard grass had already been planted, and she was afraid that she would not be able to raise so many cattle?
"That's a lot, I think so, let's put all this cattle on this ranch, and the original Gasconi will be transported to the ranch in Colorado, and all the miscellaneous cattle will be sold," Merica said.
Listening to Merika's words, Zhang Chi thought for a while, and he didn't have any good way for a while, this is a happy trouble, there are more cattle at home, but the land in the pasture is not enough, you said that this thing happened.
"I still want to buy pasture," Zhang Chi looked at the cattle and said with a long sigh.
Merika also nodded, and echoed: "I want to buy it, I didn't buy it last time, we have to be cautious this time."
"Be picky, we have money in our hands anyway," Zhang Chi said.
When Merika heard Zhang Chi say this, she couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "You seem to be quite good."
"No, no, you're much better at this than I am, you operate, I'm on my side...... Cover you in the back," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Now the whole ranch is full of cattle as far as the eye can see, and the density was a bit high, but now it's good, almost cows.
Although it seems that we have more than 3,000 acres in China and more than 3,000 cows, a cow can almost be put on one acre of land.
It seems to be quite big at a glance, but in fact it is not so big, there are still woods on Zhang Chi Ranch, and now the water of the creek has not dried up, and the messy area has been reduced.
The numbers were counted, and the gang left with the data.
Zhang Chi rolled up his sleeves and worked with Cannon and the others.
It's easy to say, it's a bit time-consuming, and it's a heavy job, which is to brand the cattle with the mark of the pasture, and by the way, put a label on the cow's ears, which writes the basic information of the cow, that is, height and weight.
If you want to find out your height and weight, you naturally have to have a scale, which is not available in Zhangchi Ranch, and the scale used now must be rented.
As for what to borrow, it seems that Americans are not very accustomed to it, unlike our neighbors who have a good relationship, even bags of salt can be borrowed, they are not used to it, generally speaking, it is rented, and it is convenient to rent things here, and many things can be rented.
"This thing is well done!"
Zhang Chi saw the newly made column and couldn't help but praise.
It looks pretty simple, it has a flare through which the herd enters, and at the end of the horn hole, it can only accommodate one cow.
If it is a cow with a calf, usually the calf passes first, and the cow follows the calf more easily.
The horn eye is followed by a two- or three-meter aisle, and under the aisle, there is a scale, whether it is a calf or a big cow, it has to pass through this scale.
You can't run yet, because there are stalls in front and back of the scale, and when the previous cow passes, the stalls are closed, and when the cow enters, the back stalls are closed, so that a cow is trapped in the middle of this section.
So that the cow can only stand on the scale.
Honestly waited for the weight to be weighed and the shoulder height measured, and then it was released by the cowboy.
After it was released, it was still a passage with fences on both sides, and at the end was an iron fence.
This thing has been there for a long time, the same Cannon designed, the two of them took the welding machine by themselves, and the place that needed to be reinforced was the iron bolt directly on it, and there was a special one for sale in the hardware store of this thing, with a cross flower, and a three-way bolt, which could be connected directly.
There are two kinds of work to be done in the fixed pen, the same is to label the cow's ears, and the height and weight just recorded have been recorded, together with the number of the cow, they are entered into the label, and then through the marking machine, the cow's ears are entered.
Since then, the cow has had a fixed household registration.
As for the branding matter, needless to say, Zhang Chi made a lot of detours on this, and it wasn't until Cannon joined in that the branding matter was officially completed.
The current brand of Zhangchi Ranch, that is, the mark of the ranch, is still a chapter character, and the chapter of Chinese characters is hung in a circle, which is quite ordinary for us Chinese, but for Americans, this logo is a bit trendy.
It's like in China, if you make an English design, everyone thinks that even if it has no taste, it is also a bit foreign, and if you get a Chinese character and English to mix it together, many people will think that this is quite a god of Turner.
Not only for the current ranch, but since this year, the imprint of the Colorado ranch has also been replaced with a chapter pattern, after all, the current Merica also has the surname Zhang.
Merika Marie Chapter, this is not a cover, it is written on a legal paper.
The current Zhangchi Ranch uses dry ice, and the branding head is thrown in a dry ice tank, and it is taken out to burn the hind legs of the cattle on the fixed fence, and it is good to wait for dozens of seconds.
