Chapter 98 Departure
"Okay, I see." Zhang Chi thought for a while, and then solved the problem.

When Cannon heard what Zhang Chi said, he stopped talking.

The two continued to modify the new snow grabber. This time the modification was very fast. Because of the experience from last time, the two refitted the new snow grabber in more than two hours.

After trying it out, Cannon pushed the snow mower and got to work.

Zhang Chi won't do it anymore, because his arms will ache when he works, and the last situation seems to have formed muscle memory.

Commonly known as - laziness!
The sun went down, and I didn't think there was any heat from the sun at first, but once this guy went down the mountain, the cold immediately became rampant.

Zhang Chi packed up his things, and the saddle and bridle have been prepared for Chiyan Mountain. Not only that, but because Chiyan Mountain is afraid of freezing, the sweat pad is thicker, and it also wraps the stomach, which is a little bit Bloated, but now the horse can't run even if it wants to run outside. The snow has not passed the horse's joints, let alone run, even if it is walking, the horse is struggling.

Roll up the cold-proof sleeping bag into a roll, stuff it into the bag, and tie it on the belt on the back. The remaining things are divided into two small bags and hung on both sides of the horse's buttocks.

Zhang Chi is also fully armed at the moment, with an extreme cold jacket on the outside, a thick sweater on the inside, thick thermal underwear underneath the sweater, cold and waterproof pants on the outside of his lower body, a thermal jacket on the inside, and a pair of high-top riding boots on his feet , the gang goes all the way to the knee, and the bottom of the whip is also a thick tendon bottom.

He wears a pair of non-slip black cotton gloves on his hands, and wears a cotton LF cap on his head. This thing is worn rusticly in China, but it belongs to the fashion circle here.Foreigners look very handsome, much more stylish than cowboy hats.

After getting on the horse, the cotton scarf was pulled up to cover the nose, and the goggles were put on, Zhang Chi gave Chi Yanshan a light push.

As soon as Chi Yanshan moved, the big cows and two tigers beside him also ran happily.

Zhang Chi, who was sitting firmly on the horse's back, was as straight as a javelin at the moment, holding the rein with one hand, while the other hand naturally hung down by his side, and his body swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the horse's back.

This is the standard western riding method. Cowboys sit on horseback. If there is no need to keep it like this, because this way the center of gravity of your body and the horse can remain the same. In this way, the horse will have its own judgment , the cowboy will not become a burden for the horse when exercising.

"BOSS!"

When passing the cowshed, Cannon stood at the door and greeted Zhang Chi.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want you to be careful. The temperature outside is not low now. Don't take off your clothes just because it's a little hot. I'd rather be hot than cold."

Cannon is a little worried about his own boss. Cannon is very satisfied with his job now. One is that the boss does not have so many things and he fully trusts himself. The other is that he is always careless. Every time he has income, he will give it to himself more or less. A little bonus, something he didn't get very often in his previous jobs.

Therefore, the boss's body is closely connected with his pocket, and Cannon naturally has to think about the boss's safety.

"I see, don't worry, it's not the first time I've been out."

Zhang Chi smiled and waved at Cannon, and then continued to urge Chiyan Mountain to move forward.

After leaving the gate of the ranch, Zhang Chi turned directly onto the bridle path, went straight along the bridle path, and arrived at the gate of Seriol's ranch in a short time.

The bridle path is very easy to walk, because there are trees on both sides of the bridle path, tall and lush trees, in addition to deciduous ones, there are also a large part of evergreen trees, these trees block most of the snow, so the snow on the bridle path, It is only less than ten centimeters thick, and there are generally no people walking at the moment, and there is no such thing as slipping and freezing.

"George!"

At this time, Serior's eldest son, Garcia, and his younger son, Miller, were already waiting. They not only brought things, but also two children sitting in front of the horse, and both brothers brought their own sons.

After greeting the two, Zhang Chi smiled and said something to the two children.

Garcia's son, Harris, is about ten years old this year, and Miller's son Yang, who was sick last time, is younger.

Now the two little guys were sitting in front of the saddle like a ball of rubber, holding the horse's mane tightly.

The two children greeted Zhang Chi one after another.

Both Garcia and Miller are now riding a pure quarter horse, with a big meteor on the nose and forehead, like twins.

"Where are Nell and Burris?"

Zhang Chi asked.

"They are ahead".

"Let's go!"

Zhang Chi moved Chiyan Mountain.

The Garcia and Miller brothers followed.

However, the eyes of the two brothers fell on Da Niu Erhu who was next to him. They also brought their own cattle dogs here, but their cattle dogs usually look big and strong, but when they approached Da Niu Erhu When you lean on it, it looks like Sa Beining and Yao Ming are standing together.

The cattle dogs of the Serior family are medium-sized dogs, but the big bull and two tigers are now safe giant dogs, and the shoulder height is not low even among the Great Danes.

The most important thing is the mane on the necks of the two dogs, which makes them look stronger and more powerful, like a dog with medium muscles.

"Is Erhu pregnant?"

Miller was the first to open his mouth to ask Zhang Chi for a puppy, and now he eagerly wants to take a big bull and two tigers back with him.

Miller also pronounced Erhu very well in Chinese.

"How do I know that, so don't worry, you will definitely have a puppy when you give birth," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you some good news. The price of live cattle has risen a little today," Garcia said.

"Oh, I haven't paid attention to the price of cattle for several days, how much has it risen?" Zhang Chi asked.

Miller replied: "It's less than two dollars and six."

"Oh, that's not too big," Zhang Chi said.

Now the overall cattle price is maintained at around [-] yuan, and has been fluctuating slightly around this price. It seems that the cattle price is quite stable.

But Zhang Chi believes that Melika must know something, so he has been waiting for the price of cattle to rise back.

"Aren't you going to pay a little?" Garcia asked.

Zhang Chi said: "No, I always feel that the price can go up a bit."

The brothers Garcia and Miller were silent after hearing this. They thought the price would be about the same this winter, but whether to sell the cattle was Zhang Chi's business, and the judgment of the cattle price was also his own business. No one will say much, let alone persuade.

If this persuasion fails, it will be so annoying.

The three riders walked almost side by side, discussing the price of cattle while walking. Of course, it is necessary to make some inferences about the price of cattle next year.

This kind of judgment affects how every rancher will operate the ranch next year. If it is judged that the price of live cattle next year will be low, then everyone will reduce some cattle, increase some sheep and other livestock, or replace them with cattle with higher economic value. kind.

But this thing doesn't mean much to Zhang Chi. The only thing that can affect him is the price of the calf. He will not spend more than three hundred dollars to buy a fine-bred cow.

With this money, he might as well feed a few more scoops of gourd pulp, and once the meat rises, the price difference will be wiped out by him.

This matter cannot be said, so Zhang Chi has to listen with his ears pricked up most of the time.

The three horses moved forward along the track, and after walking for a while, they began to trot. While urging the horses to trot, the three of them were able to chat in the air, which proved that the three of them had good horse skills.

When approaching the foot of the mountain, Zhang Chi saw a lantern.

The hoofbeats of the three people attracted the attention of the people beside the lantern.

"Miller, George?"

Ricardo's voice came over.

Miller responded with a laugh: "Who else but us?"

While speaking, Zhang Chi and the others had already arrived in front of Nell.

There is also a child sitting on Nell's horse. You don't need to ask, this is Nell's son Nelson. The little guy Zhang Chi has never seen before, and now he is wrapped up like a scorpion, so he can't tell, but the little guy has big eyes , The eyelashes are very long, as long as a porcelain doll.

"George".

Nell greeted Zhang Chi with a smile, and when the two horses missed each other, they gave each other a high-five.

After the next two waves and one wave, everyone continued to move forward along the horse path.

Now the big guys have to go over a few small hills, and then reach the public ranch, which is owned by the government, but the area is not large, only more than [-] acres.

[-] mu of land is not big, if it is placed in China, it would be considered Versailles, but it is not considered a large land in the west, especially in public ranches.

A small medium pasture is about the same size as this land.

Because the land is small, there are almost no wild horses in this pasture. Most of the time, only herbivores such as bison and deer live here.

There are herbivores, and it is relatively close to the surrounding private pastures, so this is also the favorite place for coyotes.

Hunting coyotes is a public welfare activity here, no matter how many you kill, no one comes out to accuse you.

This was before, and now, every now and then, some well-fed environmentalists will come and pull banners, promoting nonsense that coyotes are also life and masters of nature.

People here don't believe it, because coyotes are a threat to his life, and anyone who threatens them to make money will be defeated immediately.

And the environmentalists who come here are also very sensible, without the madness of big cities. If you have played here, or rushed to someone's house, the ranchers and cowboys will not be very polite, shoot It is generally impossible for you to be beaten to death. Cowboys are human beings and generally do not regard human life as trivial, but they will not be soft when they beat your legs.

After coming a few times, these people know that their safe range of activities is the public part, and it's best for you to stay out of their way.

There are far more badass cowboys than city pussies.

Even if you don't shoot, it's not uncommon to punch you rounds.

It turns out that environmentalists are afraid of taking a beating, too.You protest yours, I hit mine, and both sides do their own work.

"Vac!"

Everyone arrived at the place, looked at the wooden table that had been brought down, and couldn't help but cursed.

The wooden ledge was pulled down, obviously not by the cowboys of the neighborhood, but by the environmentalists.It is also impossible to be overwhelmed by the snow, because each of the pillars of the wooden platform is more than [-] centimeters thick. If the snow can overwhelm them, it is called a snow disaster.
