Chapter 367: Fueling
When he arrived at the newly bought ranch, it was already close to dark, and Zhang Chi and Merika first settled the cowboy wages for helping.
After a few improvised cowboys left the ranch with their wages.
Zhang Chi said to Cannon: "Go back and rest, I'll be on duty tonight."
Cannon said: "Boss, it's worth it, you've been busy for days, and I slept in a shallow ......."
Zhang Chi waved his hand and said, "Don't push it here, I'll come tonight, you all go back and take a good bath and rest, and you will brand the cow tomorrow morning or something, some of you are busy." Let's all go back."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi waved his hand at Cannon and the others.
Suddenly, I remembered something, and said: "Rest tonight, eat a good meal before going to bed, don't just think about sleeping, there are things in the refrigerator in the office, as for vegetables or something, you can eat whatever you want in my small vegetable garden."
"Okay boss!"
The cowboys responded, and then rode out of the ranch and down the horse trail back to Zhangchi Ranch.
Waiting for only Zhang Chi and Merika to be left in the ranch, the two chatted for a while, Merica began to fry the steak, and when the steak was cooked, Merica was about to go to the living room to call Zhang Chi, but just out of the kitchen door, she found that her husband had already laid on the sofa, snoring loudly.
Merica knew that Zhang Chi was tired, and it was strange that she was not tired after sleeping in the open for almost a week along the way, but at this moment, she couldn't let Zhang Chi sleep like this, she hadn't eaten anything for almost a day, and she couldn't wake up and sleep when she was full?
"Hey, get up, eat something and go to sleep".
Merica nudged her husband gently.
Zhang Chi opened his eyes, Mimihu sat up, and waited for Merika to bring the fried and cut steak, Zhang Chi couldn't open his eyes again.
At the beginning, I was sleepy, but I was able to hold on for a while, but now that I have slept for a while, not only did I not relieve my sleepiness a little, but I became more sleepy than just now, and I couldn't lift my eyelids even when I was sleepy.
Merika crisply took the fork and forked the beef into Zhang Chi's mouth and fed Zhang Chi.
"When you're done eating, go to sleep, and I'll take care of the cows tonight," Merika said as she fed Zhang Chi the steak.
Zhang Chi instinctively shook his head: "No, I'll come by myself, you're pregnant."
Seeing that her husband was fascinated by Huhu, and he still cared about his pregnant self, he was reluctant to let himself work, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Zhang Chi ate a few steaks indiscriminately, and then lay down again.
Sleepiness hit, and Zhang Chi fell asleep all of a sudden.
Merika cleaned up the dishes and took Da Niu and Erhu to the side of the herd.
Zhang Chi fell asleep here, but subconsciously always felt that something had been haunting his heart, and after thinking about it carefully in his dream, he couldn't remember what it was, so Zhang Chi began to be anxious, so in such a hurry, Zhang Chi opened his eyes.
At this moment, most of the sleepiness is gone.
Zhang Chi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was already half past two in the morning, and he had slept for about six and a half hours.
Getting up, Zhang Chi stood at the door of the house where Nell lived and looked in the direction of the ranch.
Stop!
Zhang Chi whistled, and Chiyan Mountain, who was grazing and had almost recovered a little strength, heard the call of his master and immediately ran over.
Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and stroked the bridge of Chiyan Mountain's nose: "Old man, let's hold on a little longer, wait for the dawn, and then we can have a good rest."
Wow!
I don't know if Chiyanshan understood, so he snorted and shook his head, and rubbed Zhang Chi's shoulder affectionately.
The original saddle was on the railing in front of the house, Zhang Chi grabbed it casually, saddled Chi on Chiyan Mountain, and Zhang Chi rode his horse towards the herd.
Coming to the side of the herd, Zhang Chi heard Merica's voice.
"Woke up?"
Zhang Chi looked strange: "Why are you here?" I didn't let you go home and rest? ”
Merika laughed, "Didn't say it! ”
Zhang Chi said this, but Merica didn't listen, and now she said that there was no such thing.
It was late at night, Zhang Chi couldn't see the weird smile on his wife's face, and he thought he really didn't say it, so he said, "Then now you go home...... Don't go home, go back to the house and get some sleep. It's a shame that I didn't tear down this house in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't even have a place to sleep now."
"I'll do it anyway, you go back and sleep a little longer," Merica said.
Zhang Chi said: "Okay, you go to rest, you have to think about my daughter if you don't think about yourself, be obedient."
Saying that, Zhang Chi came to Merika's side and found that she was not riding, so he dismounted first and motioned for Merica to ride her Red Flame Mountain.
Merica didn't have a choice, she also understood that sometimes Zhang Chi was struggling, so she honestly rode up the Red Flame Mountain, just like that, Zhang Chi led the horse, Merica rode on horseback, and the two walked in the direction of the house.
While walking and talking, it didn't take long for Merica to get sleepy, she was not in an ordinary situation after all, and now her body did not allow her to be reckless.
When she arrived in the house, Merica lay down directly on the sofa where Zhang Chi had been sleeping and covered it with the blanket that Zhang Chi had just covered.
"Go to bed, it's uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa," Zhang Chi said.
Merika shook her head: "Forget it, I may not be able to sleep in bed, let's go here."
Zhang Chi stopped persuading after hearing this, he knew his daughter-in-law's strangeness, so he helped her pull the blanket, and after waiting for Merika to breathe evenly, he left the house, closed the door carefully, and rode back to the side of the cow on Chiyan Mountain.
At this moment, the herd also has no energy to make a fuss, let alone a big cow, even if it is a small calf, many of them are honestly sleeping on the grass.
Zhang Chi looked at this group of cattle, and began to calculate his net worth now.
It's not good, the more I count it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, because I still owe six or seven million dollars in arrears to the bank, this one will be paid off in five years, and the pressure is not small, although it is said that with Zhang Chi and Merika's current income, there is no pressure to pay it off in five years, but Zhang Chi doesn't like to owe debts, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks that he still owes money to others.
In other words, there is pressure, and if you don't pay back the money, you always feel that something is pressing on your heart every day.
This character is destined to Zhang Chi If he didn't have a gourd, he would have nothing to do with big money in this life, which rich man didn't owe a debt from the company, and he had a high salary here, and his skin was thicker than the city wall?
Thinking about the debt, and thinking that the cattle that he had planned to release had not been fully released, he found a place that could hardly be seen by ordinary people, that is, the forest began to sprinkle cattle out.
I sprinkled more than 100 heads first, and I thought it was a little little, so it was better not to spill it with wine, so I made more than 200 heads.
Then I thought about it again, since there are more than 200 heads, then it is not a matter of 200 heads.
"I still owe the bank five or six million, and it's still dollars, so it's not too much for me to come two or three hundred, right?"
Zhang Chi found a reason for himself, so he took out more than 200 cows.
The cow was taken out, and Zhang Chi thought of another point.
"Lao Tzu still has to pay taxes, and it seems that it is not too much to get some out of pocket to subsidize taxes!"
So Zhang Chi took out a few hundred more.
Now Zhang Chi's brain is a little short-circuited, he has walked in the forest for a few days, driven the cattle for a few days, although he slept for more than six hours, but where can he do it at this time, don't look at the nerves are normal now, in fact, the sleeping insects have not gone, and they are lost between lakes and lakes, so they do what they think but have not done.
Subconsciously felt that he couldn't carry it up anymore, and there was no way to carry it out anymore, and now the original Amber cow in the gourd had been carried by him.
Spilled out, then it has to be a transitional cow, this thing is now sold as miscellaneous cattle, that is, at the same price as miscellaneous cattle, Zhang Chi really doesn't have much interest, and this trip is almost thrown, now there are mostly cows in the gourd, and the appearance is different from Amber cow.
In this way, Zhang Chi gave up.
He held his eyelids until dawn, and at seven o'clock, Cannon, along with the brothers Brian and Xavier, arrived to prepare to brand the cowboy.
As soon as there is a dozen small imprints, then this group of cattle officially belongs to the private property of Zhang Chi Ranch.
Of course, Zhang Chi still has to pay taxes.
Originally, when he was in China, Zhang Chi felt that the U.S. government was the best government in the world, thinking about the people everywhere, and the American people were begging the U.S. government to collect money.
In the past, it was like this kind of profit tax was the same as other taxes, and it was enough to report it before March of the following year, and maybe there would be a tax refund or something at that time, but now, this dog thing actually has to be paid at the time, and if you don't pay, they will really take away your cattle to deduct the tax.
Looking at it this way, it is not greedy for Zhang Chi to get more cattle here.
"Boss, boss!
Zhang Chi heard Cannon's shout, so he turned over on the back of Red Flame Mountain and ran in the direction of the house.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Chi cared about his employees.
Cannon laughed, "No problem".
These guys have been sleeping since eight o'clock last night, and have slept until more than six o'clock in the morning, even if they have not recovered to one hundred and eight hundred strength after more than ten hours of sleep, eighty percent of the strength should be there after all, and today's work is not heavy, it is to brand the cow.
"Okay, let's go back."
Zhang Chi didn't have the energy to be polite to Cannon and the others now, and after handing over this side to Cannon and the others, he rode his horse, while Merica drove the two of them from the main road and the other from the horse road to the small ranch.
Zhang Chi, who returned to the ranch, took a bath, then lay down on his big bed, which was called a beauty, hugged the quilt and sniffed a few hard, and then fell asleep.
At this moment, Cannon, Brian, and Xavier were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the herd in front of them.
Cannon was a little unsure, turned to the rest of the people and asked, "Have we brought so many cattle back?" ”
Xavier was young in the end, and his mind was not very focused, so he asked rhetorically: "It wasn't us who rushed back, but someone else rushed back?" ”
Xavier is a bit of a horseman, and although he works sincerely, he doesn't care about these details at all, so he doesn't feel that the herd has changed from yesterday.
As soon as Xavier was sure, Cannon, Brian, and Dominic all felt that they might be overthinking, and that the original herd should be so much, and that Dona must have been too tired to do it, and hallucinated.
Zhang Chi sparsely touched the lake, and the four Cannons were also suspicious, so the extra cattle in the herd became the default in everyone's hearts to rush back.
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say, let's get to work, brand thousands of cows, although the calves can not be branded, but even if it's half, it's not a small project.
So Cannon took the three of them and began to decorate, waiting for Zarik and Kevin to finish their work over there, and when they came to this ranch, the four of Cannon had already begun to roast cattle.
The four of them worked together, and at this moment everyone did not count the weight of the cattle, let alone the bloodline of the cattle, one is that there is no technology, and the other is that there is no need.
Because after reporting it to themselves, the guys from the Ministry of Agriculture will come over by themselves and register the number of cattle breeds, and then the ranch can use their data to determine the paternal lineage.
