Simon nodded at Sam, agreeing that Red was indeed qualified to do things for the boss.

But he said, "It's better to report this matter to the boss first and let him have an idea." ”

This shows the difference between Simon and Sam.

Sam is more of a big soldier who can only fight, while Simon prefers a qualified assistant and does not make decisions for the boss.

The four of Rhett's hearts were tight, but thinking about the $50,000 that had already arrived, not only did they not feel that Chu Xiangqian did not pay attention to the four of them because of Simon's words.

On the contrary, because Chu Xiangqian was too happy to give money, he wanted to do things under Chu Xiangqian more and more.

At the end of the day, money solves most things.

If it can't be solved, it's not enough.

——

On the way back, Simon took the car driven by the four of Rhett and did not go directly back to Alissa's ranch.

Instead, I drove the car to the tavern in the town.

At this time, not only the townspeople were curious about whether Marcus had been caught, but they came to the tavern to join in the fun.

There were also some pursuers who saw that the sky was getting dark, and returned to the town from the mountains and waited for news in the tavern.

As soon as he saw Simon come in with Sam and two cowboys, he thought that there was another news to be announced about Alissa's ranch.

But he didn't want Simon to walk up to the owner of the tavern bar and take out $20,000 from his pocket and still on the table.

"My boss invited the people who went into the mountains to hunt today, and as long as the people who went into the mountains today, they could drink until the 20,000 yuan was all spent."

When more than a dozen people who had entered the mountain heard this, they immediately cheered.

Although he and the others didn't catch Marcus, they could have a good drink after a trip, and it wasn't in vain.

Not to mention that if you buy all the beer for $20,000, you can buy at least 1,000 barrels of beer and 50 pounds of beer.

Not to mention drinking for a day, even if the whole town drinks together, 1,000 barrels can be drunk for several days.

If you are the ones who go into the mountains, you may not be able to drink it all in a month.

And the residents of the town who did not enter the mountains today are called envy and regret.

A few drunkards had just cursed, and Simon nodded at Sam and the cowboys from the two ranches.

The three of them walked over and fought.

But none of the others in the tavern stepped forward to help the drunkards.

Even the tavern owner shouted at the two bartenders to throw out the men who had already been beaten down, and not to receive them in the future.

The tavern owner is not stupid, on one side is an alcoholic who spends at most one or twenty dollars a month.

On the other side, the financiers who casually took out $20,000 and made themselves thousands of dollars naturally completely biased towards Simon and others.

Then he clapped his hands and shouted to everyone in the bar, "I'm having a treat tonight, and all the beers are free." ”

After that, amid countless cheers, the bar owner put away the $20,000 and then ordered someone to go to the warehouse to bring out four large barrels of 50-pound beer.

It's a treat, but these 4 barrels of beer are actually only $80.

This kind of local beer directly in wooden barrels is really cheap and couldn't be cheaper.

But for cowboys with generally low-to-middle-income incomes, the local beer they drink from childhood to adulthood is more in line with their tastes.

When Simon and Sam left with the three of them, the tavern came back to their senses, and since the owner of Alissa's ranch invited everyone to drink, did it mean that the three Marcus brothers had all been killed.

Someone immediately shouted, "God, who is the one who killed Marcus who hid in the mountains?" ”

When the four of them heard this, they regretted following Simon into the tavern.

Fortunately, everyone was thinking about something, and no one noticed the four of them, and then the tavern was full of envy and swearing.

This is probably not enough for everyone to drink 4 barrels of beer.

However, for the tavernkeeper, even 4 more barrels is trivial.

By the time Simon and the four returned to the ranch, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.

But the habit of the people of the Celestial Empire is basically to finish the meal at six or seven o'clock.

Chu Xiangqian simply asked Sister Tao and Zhao Di, who came over with Zhang Tianzhi, Yuan Hua, Tony and Zhou Bili in the afternoon, to prepare meat pieces.

Took Simon out of the house with the four of them, drank beer and ate barbecue in the yard, and listened to Simon and Sam's report by the way.

Hearing that Marcus was also dead, Chu Xiangqian's mind couldn't help but be on the urban real estate company of Santa Barbara County.

As for Red, who Sam and Simon recommended at the same time, Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't mind having a few more ruthless people in his hands.

Besides, no matter how high the salary of a cowboy is, it can't compare to people in the financial circle.

Simon is only $240 a month, which may not be the same amount of money as he has not invested in a company, or in a law firm, where a newly turned analyst or lawyer has a high salary.

And with 450 cattle and more than 1,000 sheep being brought into the pasture every month, there is a lot of manpower needed.

Chu Xiangqian was worried at first that the pasture of Alisa Ranch was not enough to raise thousands of cattle and tens of thousands of sheep.

That's why I didn't hesitate to buy Tucker Ranch.

And with so many cattle and sheep here, two ranches combined with more than 20 cowboys are definitely not enough.

At the beginning, I put the idea on the heads of sheepdogs and cattle dogs, but now there are 4 more cowboys, and there is no problem at all.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian directly agreed to recruit the four of Red, Sam and Simon were both happy.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian took Xiao Lan'er, accompanied by Zhang Tianzhi, Da Zhuang and Hongniu, took a walk outside the Banshan Manor, and when he walked to the observation deck in the middle of the mountain, he shouted to the surroundings, "Come out." ”

Zhang Tianzhi instantly became nervous.

Then I saw two ninjas dressed in black, wearing ninja hoods on their heads and carrying long knives on their backs, coming out of the darkness.

Facing Chu Xiangqian, he knelt down on one knee and said, "BOSS, what do you command?" ”

These two are naturally in charge of close protection, and they are also Kumiko and Olivia, who only flew over from Hong Kong Island today.

And Chu Xiangqian called the two out, also intending to let Zhang Tianzhi know about the ninja.

lest your own men smite your own people.

At the same time, it can be regarded as officially telling the ninjas that Xue Jinglan is their boss lady.

Chu Xiangqian pulled Xue Jinglan and said, "This is my wife, in the future, you have to protect her like I protect her." ”

Kumiko and Olivia hesitated for two seconds before officially saluting Xue Jinglan.

Xue Jinglan was a little nervous and uneasy and hurriedly grabbed Chu Xiangqian's hand, but Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't care about their identity and ninja background."

All you need to know is that I have a team of ninjas around me who are responsible for the security of our family. ”

Xue Jinglan was relieved at this time, and then she was happy that her man didn't bring Hong Kong Sheng over this time.

It can be seen that he is the most important and favorite one in his heart.

I heard Chu Xiangqian say to Kumiko, "Inform the others and keep an eye on the city real estate company in Santa Barbara County."

As soon as the other party wants to disadvantage me, take the initiative to kill them. Also, inform Matsuno that things in Chicago can continue. ”

"Hi", Kumiko accepted the order, saluted, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Then Chu waved his hand at Olivia, and the woman also saluted and took a few steps back, and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Tianzhi can still find Olivia, she should be hiding in the shadows of the observation deck, which makes it difficult for people to notice her.

But Xue Jinglan didn't find out at all how Olivia went.

Early the next morning, because a ninja assassin went to spy on the city real estate company, Chu Xiangqian felt that there was no problem with his safety.

Only then did he take his daughter-in-law, Hong Kong Sheng and Ehime, as well as Da Zhuang and Red Girl to drive to the stable.

I chose 4 quart horses and rode them in the ranch with a smile all the way.

At noon, she was still having a picnic on the highest mountain in the ranch, eating and drinking to her heart's content, and Ehime couldn't sit still and wanted to continue visiting the ranch.

I even want to experience a cowboy and follow the herding team to graze.

But Xiao Lan'er and Hong Kong Sheng were dragged by their own men to play a friendly match last night, which consumed a lot of physical strength.

After this is full, I don't want to move more and more.

And basking in the sun, the two chicks leaned against Chu Xiangqian and yawned, and began to feel sleepy.

Chu Xiangqian simply lay on the cloth used for picnic cooking, and said with a smile, "If you ride a horse as soon as you are full, you will definitely have a pain in the corners of your stomach." Rest for half an hour first. ”

Ehime had no choice but to pout, sit on the cloth, and look at the grass, the woods, and the cattle and sheep in the distance.

And the cowboys on horseback, staring at the herd of cattle and sheep.

Slowly, after her mind calmed down, the more Ehime looked at it, and suddenly felt that the scenery of the ranch was really beautiful.

Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng's attention was all on their own men, and they didn't bother to care about any beautiful scenery or cattle and sheep.

Lying on the left and right under Chu Xiangqian's arm, talking and laughing, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Chu Xiangqian was worried that the two of them would catch a cold, and muttered a few words to Ehime, but Ehime could only get up and go immediately, untie a leather bag, take out the spare cloth inside, and cover it on the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Just looking at the eldest brother and the two sisters-in-law so sweet, Ehime suddenly felt that she should also find a man.

But the idea only appeared for a few seconds, and he was thrown to the sky.

is really too good, and the men he meets can't be compared with him.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Lan'er's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes to see her man quietly looking at the clouds in the sky.

I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and I secretly said that it would be good if I had been like this for the rest of my life.

As for the Hong Kong student who used his hands and feet together and hugged his man when he fell asleep, Xue Jinglan just pouted, and did not think about the intention of monopolizing Chu Xiangqian.

It's really hard to be apathetic to one, take the initiative to be soft, obedient, and have a good personality, and can also help their helpers have disgust.

Chu Xiangqian felt that his daughter-in-law had woken up, so he kissed Xue Jinglan's forehead sideways, and then said with a smile, "If you and Ah Sheng don't wake up again, Ehime will be bored and crazy." ”

Xue Jinglan looked sideways at Ehime, who was also lying on the cloth, and couldn't help laughing when she saw her legs crossed and looked listless.

Stretched out his hand and shook it a few times on the arm of the man who was holding him, and it didn't take long for Hong Kong Sheng to open his eyes in a daze.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan were looking at him, he couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly sat up and asked, "Senior brother, are you going home?" ”

Seeing the little girl's stupid expression, Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan both laughed.

Xue Jinglan stretched out her hand and pinched Hong Kong Sheng's face, and immediately provoked Hong Kong Sheng to feel pain and said, "Sister, it hurts." ”

That charming state, Chu Xiangqian's heart was angry, Xue Jinglan also rolled her eyes, and secretly said that this little girl is really good at seducing people.

The most rare thing is that Hong Kong students are not pretending to be flattering, and the charm is as if they were born, even women want to pity her when they look at it.

Not to mention that Xue Jinglan had seen this little girl's shy and charming appearance on the bed, and immediately screwed it on Hong Kong Sheng's pretty face again.

Hong Kong Sheng hurriedly leaned back in fright, and then hugged Chu Xiangqian's arm and shook it, "Senior brother, sister bullied me." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, put his arms around Xue Jinglan and said to Hong Kong Sheng, "I'll help you hold your Sister Lanlan, you come and tickle her." ”

Hong Kong Sheng's eyes lit up, and the three of them quickly made a mess, and Ehime on the side kept rolling her eyes.

Just out of sight and out of mind, stand up and walk to a place with a better line of sight, and look at the cattle and sheep grazing in the distance.

Chu Xiangqian made trouble with the three of them for a while, and then began to pack up his things, and according to Ehime's request, he rode a horse and led a dog all the way to the cow herd.

It's just grazing, which seems interesting at first glance, but after I really get in touch with it, it's actually just like that, and it's even a little boring.

And the smell in the herd of cattle and sheep is not good, just half an hour, Ehime herself can't stand it.

Not to mention Hong Kong students and Xue Jinglan, who loves cleanliness very much.

A year ago, let alone letting Xue Jinglan come over to see the cows, even if she was allowed to ride a horse, she would dislike the horses for being unclean.

But now, although the little girl still loves cleanliness, it basically has nothing to do with the psychological problem of cleanliness.

Chu Xiangqian greeted Hans and a few other cowboys who were in debt and herded cattle, and then rode a horse with his two daughters-in-law and sister-in-law and continued to walk to the west of the ranch.

When I arrived at the future farm, I saw that the farm was being planned into patches of farmland divided by ditches, and I went to see the canals like the main roads.

Then he rode to the Manor in the middle of the mountain.

In fact, if you want to know the situation of the ranch, you only need to let the fly into the sky, and it will not take an hour to see the ranch.

But Chu Xiangqian also knew that riding out a few laps by himself would make the cowboys work more actively.

It also lets the cowboys know that the boss doesn't care about herding and ranching at all.

Seeing that he was about to go home, Chu Xiangqian shouted at Da Zhuang and Hongniu who had followed all the way, and the two hunting dogs immediately became vigilant.

After a while, the big and strong rushed to the grass pile not far away, and in just a dozen steps, a rabbit with gray fur was frightened and ran wildly.

It's a pity that no matter how fast the hare is, it can't be faster than the upgraded two hounds, not to mention the physical strength, the two hounds can already run better than normal Arabian horses or sweaty horses.

By the time Chu Xiangqian and the four of them returned to the bottom of the manor mountain, Chu Xiangqian's horse was already hanging with 4 hares.

In the evening, Sister Tao took the three sisters of Zhaodi and cooked meals for two large tables.

And because Zhang Tianzhi's four bodyguards, Sister Tao Zhaodi and others joined in the manor, there were already two tables to sit down.

In addition, Maria, who has lived in the annex of the manor for the past two days, seems to be planning to work on this side of the manor, and the atmosphere is comparable to the New Year.

Even Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng drank some red wine.
