Chapter 368: Golden Stone
After sleeping until the sun was about to set, Zhang Chi got up in good spirits.
After washing up, I stood in front of my house, crossed my waist and looked at my pasture, and my heart was indescribably comfortable.
"The place where I own is ...... Well, what do you want to do? ”
Zhang Chi was about to sigh here, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sneaky guy touching his side.
Take a closer look, who is it if it's not a big spin head?
This guy seems to have something wrong, he wants to top Zhang Chi's addiction, as long as Zhang Chi doesn't pay attention to it, maybe he will get his wish today.
Seeing Zhang Chi seeing himself, he turned his head down and pretended to be kind, and walked away with a twist.
"Sooner or later, I will take you to shabu the pot" Zhang Chi felt that this cow was a little unpopular, if it wasn't for the cow, he would have beaten it a long time ago.
was originally full of poetry, but it was suddenly lost by Da Xuan's head, and Zhang Chi couldn't wait to go up and kick Da Xuan's head a few times at the moment.
However, he was a little lazy, and did not want to get up and chase a cow now, so he had to curse at Da Xuan's head, and then he picked up the small mud on the ground and threw it a few times.
didn't hit it for a while, Zhang Chi clapped his hands, scolded Da Xuan head a few more words, and then walked towards the stable.
When he arrived at the stable, Zhang Chi saw three little dogs, as well as Bai Lao and Shiren, in addition to these, there was also the calf mixed in the stable, of course, the calf was there, and the cow was naturally there.
"Free milk again?"
Shiren and Bai Lao, who came over, turned into monsters one by one, humming and chirping while climbing onto Zhang Chi's legs, and the little milk foam at the corners of their mouths was all wiped on Zhang Chi's trouser legs.
Zhang Chi didn't mind, because it wasn't the first time these two goods had done this, it was better to wash some milk, and it was difficult to wash the meat oil on the pants.
It's good to live on the ranch that the clothes are dirt-resistant, and even if it's a little dirty, it's not easy to see.
After playing with Shiren and Bai Lao for a while, and carrying the three puppies for a while, Zhang Chi came to the compartment of Chiyan Mountain.
When he looked out, he found that Chiyan Mountain was not in the compartment, so he left the stable again and came to the nearby place where the horses were kept. Usually horses are not placed here in the enclosure.
Came to the place, took a look, and sure enough, found that Chiyan Mountain was grazing with a group of horses bowing their heads, there are a lot of horses in the family now, in addition to the cowboys riding, there are more than a dozen unridden horses, and now most of the horses are the original Nell's family, and the level of training is general, but the ranch riding is enough, a cowboy you say he can't ride a horse, that's a joke.
Shout!
Zhang Chi whistled, which immediately attracted the attention of the horses, these horses were not afraid of people, and saw Zhang Chi in the direction of the sound, so most of the horses continued to bow their heads and graze.
Chiyan Mountain ran upside down in front of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and stroked Chiyan Mountain, said a few words to Chiyan Mountain, and then returned to the stable with Chiyan Mountain.
After arriving at the stable, Zhang Chi didn't prepare a saddle or anything for Chiyan Mountain for the first time, he first fed Chiyan Mountain a few carrots, and then fed Chiyan Mountain two raw eggs.
Brushed the bristles of Chiyan Mountain, and used massage gloves to beat the hair of Chiyan Mountain, and wiped the ashes at the same time.
After tossing for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi was satisfied with the saddle for Chiyan Mountain.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing, as long as Zhang Chi is at home, he will not fake others, because this is the most direct communication between himself and the mount.
Horses also have feelings, it also needs to have a certain amount of communication with the owner, if you don't give them a body, don't feed them to eat and drink, just come out when riding it, the horse must not have deep feelings for you, no matter how much money you spend on a horse, the horse only recognizes the person who usually takes care of it.
As a social animal, horses also have emotional needs, which is Zhang Chi's perception after learning to ride a horse with Cannon, so as long as it is possible, Chiyan Mountain will be taken care of by Zhang Chi himself.
Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain, and Shiren, the little things, followed for a while and then stopped, because they didn't want to go too far from the stable at the moment.
Zhang Chi was there to take care of them at this time, and rode along the horse path on Chiyan Mountain and rushed towards the direction of the new pasture.
When he arrived at the new ranch, Zhang Chi found that the cowboys were still working, and from time to time there were cows caught in the pen, mooing because of the cold of the dry ice.
“BOSS!”
Xavier saw Zhang Chi and said hello with a smile.
Zhang Chi dismounted, chatted with everyone for a word or two, and then came to Cannon's side: "How much is it now?" ”
"It's almost a thousand heads," Cannon said.
"The progress is very fast" Zhang Chi has burned a thousand heads in a day when he heard it, and this progress is quite good.
Cannon said: "It's just a brand, it's not marked or anything, it's just a simple mark on the cow." Also, I informed the government that they would come tomorrow to count and take samples, so we wrote a number on each cow ......."
Cannon reported to Zhang Chi about the day's work.
When he entered the door, Zhang Chi saw some numbers written on the cows, written with special paint, and they would not fade for at least a month, so this thing can also temporarily replace things like ear tags.
Zhang Chi's attention was not here, but asked: "Have you counted the number, how many cows have we driven back this time?" ”
Cannon said: "There are almost 4,000 cattle in total, more than 3,800 heads."
"So much?"
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment.
Soon Zhang Chi remembered his small actions in the early hours of this morning, and he knew that his trembling was a little powerful.
"Then this ranch can't be digested now," Zhang Chi said.
"Now this ranch has reached its peak of 1,500 cattle at most, if it is all converted to our ranch, it can almost be accommodated, but there is no hurry in time, do you think the rest of the cattle will be transported to the Colorado ranch, or will they be sold locally?" Cannon said.
Cannon didn't expect to see not much when he rushed this time, but when he came back, he counted almost 4,000 cows, and what kind of thought were these 4,000 cows, supporting a medium-sized pasture.
However, there are many cows, which is a good thing for cowboys like Cannon, because of Zhang Chi, his income is high, and the cowboys' lives are naturally better.
"Wait until I discuss it with Merica."
Zhang Chi couldn't make a decision for a while, because it involved cattle breeds or something, and Merica was good at playing patents, Zhang Chi was really not good, he didn't have any culture, and he was always worse than the educated Merika when he did bad things.
"Hurry up, then, these cows won't last long," Cannon laughed.
Zhang Chi was also happy when he heard it: "Don't worry, I will come up with a plan tonight, and I won't make it the same as last time, the pasture was flooded with cow dung."
Zhang Chi remembered the last time, because he didn't deal with the cow in time, he was made a mess by cow dung.
Cannon and Zhang Chi laughed for a while, and Zhang Chi rolled up his sleeves to help.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the work was finished.
The cowboys and Zhang Chi went back to eat together, of course, everyone ate their own food.
Back in the house, Zhang Chi asked Merica to discuss how to deal with the cow, and found no trace of Merica from downstairs to upstairs, so Zhang Chi was a little strange.
"Merica! Merica! ”
Zhang Chi called out to his daughter-in-law.
"I'm here!"
Zhang Chi followed the sound to the storage room, the new house has a special storage room, but Zhang Chi rarely comes to this place, and Merica rarely comes, and there is nothing empty here now.
The most likely ones are Ergou and Sanjo, and the ink also comes often, and when someone comes, the ink will be hidden here as soon as possible.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Chi was very curious, and after asking, he said, "I'll discuss something with you."
"I have something to ask you," Merica squatted on the ground, still not getting up.
"Did you say beforehand, you have nothing to do, what are you doing with this stone?" Zhang Chi came to Merica's side and found Merica looking at the stones he had sent back.
"Where did you get this stone back?" Merica asked.
"That's a coincidence, I'm ......" Zhang Chi said the matter for a while, and then said: "I think there may be a few good jades in it, so I got it back, thinking that it was okay to play."
Zhang Chi didn't lie, he just felt that there was no good jade in these stones, and as for the lack of good jade, it didn't affect his mood, so he washed away so many cows.
"Who told you this is jade?" Merica looked at Zhang Chi Zhile.
"This is called golden emerald stone, it is a kind of rune mountain stone, this piece is already a little gem-like, and there will be a gem-shaped stone in this pile of stones, as long as it is the size of peanuts, it will be on our pasture," Merica said.
As she spoke, Merika sent her phone to Zhang Chi and asked him to see what the gem-shaped emerald stone looked like.
"So expensive?" Zhang Chi felt a little dumbfounded: "It does look like jade."
Zhang Chijue felt that there was a little yellow and green in the middle of the green in the photo, which one didn't look like jade?
"Like, but it's different, it's worth a lot more than jade," Merica said.
"How I haven't heard of it".
"There is no market for alexandrite, that's because there are too few gem-quality gemstones, and where to find the stones, let's apply for mining," Merica said.
"Open a mine?" Zhang Chi was a little confused.
"Just kidding, how is it possible to mine in the mountains now," Merica laughed and shook her head.
Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "I said, it's good for us to run the ranch well, which door mine to open."
When it comes to mining, then things are troublesome, if you want to open a mine on the American side, you have to rent land, and there are seasonal, in addition to coal mines and oil, some gem mines or something are generally divided into time periods, in short, it is not troublesome to operate, but the cost is very high.
Zhang Chi didn't want to engage in any mines, he didn't have a plug-in for that thing, how could he have this ability to find mines with his ability.
"Are you afraid of spending money on mining?" Merika asked casually when she saw Zhang Chi's appearance.
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "That's natural, we haven't filled the pit in the ranch yet, it's not good to open the mine, wait for a few years, the ranch will be angry, you can open it if you want."
