Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 96

  Chapter 96 Ready to start work

Jian Heng glanced at the pigs in the carriage, there were four or five big ones, and the rest were all small ones. There were about twenty pigs in total. The pigs' faces were covered with wrinkles, and their bodies were black. They are not big in size, and Jian Heng can tell at a glance that they are the kind of rural native pigs he used to see when he was a child.

  As for the chicken, I won't talk about it. Jian Heng's hometown is called Luhua Chicken. The hen is yellow and not slippery.

It's just that these chickens are not too big. Both the hen and the rooster have just grown full hair. One of the little **** is still bare, and there are no chicks at all. There are only half a box of eggs wrapped in paper cards. , it looks like there are no fewer than two hundred.

   "Where's the fish?" Jian Heng was most concerned about the fish, and he couldn't see the fish for a while, so he had to open his mouth to ask.

  Zhao Changshan reached out and grabbed the edge of the carriage, climbed directly into the carriage, and then motioned for Jian Heng to follow.

   Jian Heng also got into the car curiously, followed Zhao Changshan to the iron sheet in front of the car, and saw that he stretched out his hand and pushed it, and there was actually a mezzanine inside.

"I said what are you doing, transporting a fish is like transporting powder, and you even opened a secret door on purpose." Jian Heng saw that there were two rows of about a dozen plastic boxes inside, and a pipe was inserted into each box. You don't need to ask, you know that the pipe is connected to the oxygen generator, and now you can hear the water in the box gurgling when the door is opened.

   "Where did I get it, so this car has this thing, I don't know what it is used for entraining, I guess it may be used for smuggling," Zhao Changshan said while reaching out to pat the metal partition next to it.

  Jian Heng saw the fish, so he stepped forward, reached out and opened the top box, and stood on tiptoe to see the inside.

"Snake fish? Or small black fish fry?" Seeing the box full of small black fish fry, each of which was only about the size of a palm, Jian Heng couldn't help asking: "Where is there any other fish alive in the lake when this thing is thrown into the lake?" head?".

"Get rid of the native fish in your lake first. Look at what's in the lake. The biggest one is no bigger than a palm. It's not delicious at all. It's not only thorny, but also very fishy, ​​and has a strong earthy smell. There are actually not many black fishes, there is such a big lake!" Zhao Changshan said.

  Jian Heng was still a little skeptical: "This is okay?"

"The other fish are big, much bigger than the small black fish fry." Zhao Changshan didn't take it seriously: "If the other fish are eaten up by the black fish, then let's eat the black fish. Anyway, your stocking here is considered semi-wild." .

  While listening to him, Jian Heng stretched out his hand to open the other box. The other box contained crucian carp, and the lower box couldn't be seen. If he wanted to see it, he had to remove the upper box first.

   If you can't see it, Jian Heng can ask.

   "How many carp did you get?"

   "Do you like to eat carp?" Zhao Changshan was puzzled.

   "Well, I really like braised carp." Jian Heng asked casually. In fact, as long as he has braised homemade fish, there is nothing he doesn't like. It has nothing to do with the species of fish, but with the taste.

  Zhao Changshan said: "Then you didn't tell me earlier, I searched around and couldn't find a good carp, so I didn't take it!"

   Tut!

After hearing this, Jian Heng couldn't help but reached out and took off the hat on his head, scratched his hair, and then put the hat on again: "OK, that's it for now, hurry up and drive the pigs out, and put the fish into the lake ".

  Zhao Changshan didn't think too much about it. He didn't know that Jian Heng had been looking forward to the carp for the past two days. Hearing Jian Heng's words, he immediately jumped out of the car and called for help.

  At this moment, Barley and Wheat, together with Huang Xiaodong, had already driven the two horses out of the cart. When the horses got off the cart, Barley and Wheat put on the bridle and began to lead them to adapt to the environment of the pasture.

  Huang Xiaodong heard Zhao Changshan's words, quickly turned his envious gaze away from the two horses of Barley and Wheat, and trotted over to help herd the pigs.

When Derek saw it, he quickly walked over to help. They set up a wooden springboard, and then drove off the big and small pigs with ease. OK.

After finishing the work, Jian Heng and Zhao Changshan took Huang Xiaodong and drove to the lakeside together, and then dragged the boxes out of the car one by one. Throw it into the space along the way.

  The movements were done so covertly that neither Zhao Changshan nor Huang Xiaodong noticed. All the fish were poured into the lake and left to fend for themselves. The work of the three of them was finished. With the urine properties of these fish, the Native American fish of Yihu Lake are no match at all.

After chatting with Zhao Changshan for a few words, Jian Heng couldn't wait to find a reason to leave the crowd, and went into the space to see that the few fish he threw in were jumping on the grass right now, which was a bit out of the ordinary There is no energy to be active, obviously the fish is not right.

  So Jian Heng threw these things into the water in the growth space, and lifted his feet out of the space.

  The task received is very simple, it is still work.

   Just because Zhao Changshan came back, the work here cannot be stopped.

  Work belongs to work. In stark contrast on the ranch, Derek directly helped everyone get the silage, and the young master of the McAvoy family is now mixing with the white lion Denver.

  Jian Heng glanced at it, and thought to himself: That's right, people of a feather flock together, and things are divided into groups, don't foodies have to be with foodies!

   "What are you looking at?" Damai followed Jian Heng's gaze and saw that his younger brother was playing wildly on the grass with Denver.

  So Damai opened his mouth and said, "Matthew is just playful, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that he is very kind-hearted!"

   Damai hopes that Jian Heng will not have any prejudice against her younger brother. Of course, she also knows that there is a reason why her younger brother is not liked by others. Not to mention Jian Heng, even their father has a headache for this son, his mind is full of freedom and independence, but he doesn't do independent things at all.

  Jian Heng smiled, and said inappropriately: "I just don't believe it, he is actually your younger brother. From my point of view, he is living a good life."

   The implication is that your father gave him a lot of pocket money! Besides, after getting along for a long time, is it necessary for buddies to get along with him for a long time? Take a look at him for three days!

  When you come to the United States, you will usually subvert the opinions about the United States conveyed to you by many domestic media. For example, Americans become independent as soon as they reach the age of 18, and they pay their own college tuition.

  Is there such a person? Yes, and quite a few.

  But generally speaking, parents are willing to pay college tuition for their children if they are capable, and there are not one or two children who are not independent at the age of 18.

  Because of the poor economy in the United States in recent years, the new generation of gnawing elders is not much different from the domestic ones, and there are even more cheating children.

  Balley didn't know what to understand. He still didn't understand the meaning of Jian Heng's words at all. He shrugged and said, "He likes music, and he plans to develop in the direction of music in the future!"

Jian Heng didn't have the nerve to say that no matter which industry you are in, you should have the minimum respect for people. Don't look at those superstars. People can keep their tails between their legs.

  Thinking about it, Jian Heng thought again: It's nothing to do with my buddies! Parents and sisters are not in a hurry, and they will make trouble by themselves, and if they don't like it, it will only be a matter of today, and he will leave tomorrow morning.

  Thinking about this, Jian Heng immediately felt a lot more at ease, and then buried himself in work.

In the evening, Chef Zhao Changshan made a sumptuous dinner, which was considered a joy for the host and guests. Before leaving, Jian Heng called Derek aside alone according to the American habit, and paid him some wages. As reward for his hard work today.

  Ghost and Derek didn't live in the ranch, but lived in the dormitory in the town with Zhao Changshan, maybe because they were closer to their younger brother, and Da Mai and Mai also went to live in the town at night.

  In the early morning of the first day, I had no interest in knowing when I left Jian Heng. Anyway, the work on the ranch was enough so that Jian Heng had no time to think about other irrelevant things.

  Then the life on the ranch began to go step by step, because Daniel and Qianlong were two special forces who would graze themselves, so the original plan to hire another cowboy was postponed.

The days passed day by day. First, the small dormitories for the cowboys were built. Zhang Jialiang, Huang Xiaodong, and Zhao Wei each snatched a room. The sisters Damai and Mai lived in the same room. Jian Heng also moved in temporarily. I moved into the dormitory, because the original room was going to be remodeled into a dining room and kitchen.

  The cowboy dormitory has been in good condition for a few days, following the reconstruction of the original barn, it can't be said that it has been rebuilt, it is almost a reconstruction.

  The construction of the collective dormitory has also improved. There are two upper and lower floors, and each floor can accommodate 24 people.

  Almost at the same time, the Xuannei Stadium built by the Laomo engineering team was also built.

The construction started almost a week later, and the indoor sports field and dormitories with a larger workload were built almost at the same time. It can be seen that the construction speed of the white engineering team is comparable to that of the old ink engineering team. The scum of Zhan Wu.

   Don't mention this, once the project is completed, it is natural to organize acceptance.

  Jian Heng is not professional, but there are professional people. As soon as the money is paid, they will form a team, more than a dozen people, and a pile of large and small analytical instruments, which looks very bluffing.

  Jian Heng took Daniel around while chatting.

The collective dormitory looks quite "simple". It's a big room, the kind that can be seen at a glance. The floor is all solid wood, very bright. There is an aisle about four meters in the middle. bed.

It's not a double bed, but a single bed. Of course, this single bed is not a domestic student bed. It is only 90 centimeters wide and less than two meters long. This bed is 1.2 meters wide and 2 meters long. .

Each bed has a thick cushion, white sheets, and white pillows. The only characteristic is that there is a support at the four corners of each bed, which is used to hang mosquito nets in summer, and half hung in other times. The sheer curtain is the only place where privacy can be reflected.

  There is a small bedside table on the left side of each bed, and a 60cm wide and 1.8m high built-in high cabinet on the right side, where suitcases can be placed underneath and clothes can be hung above.

  Vanier looked around at this moment, there were two rows of ten sheets on each side, and he looked to the end at a glance, and couldn't help thinking: The boss is really black, with tens of thousands of dollars a month, he actually let his guests live in such a place!

This kind of residence is not even as good as the cheapest small hotel in the country. It is impossible for any small hotel to say that there is no private space at all. In any case, it must be blocked by a board, even a tent is covered with a quick cloth Well.

   This one is good, go directly to the Datong room, and see everything at a glance, except that there is no elevated bed, this is simply a military barracks, and it was a military barracks a few years ago.

Daniel couldn't help slandering his boss in his heart. Jian Heng nodded in satisfaction, and stomped his feet when he got upstairs. He didn't feel any obvious vibration, so he knew the sound insulation of the room. At least it's doing well according to your own requirements.

  While walking and watching, Jian Heng couldn't help making a satisfied hum.

  Walking to the east of the second floor, Jian Heng pushed open the door on the left. This is the bathroom, that is, the place where the toilet is placed. There are a total of eight cubicles, that is to say, eight pits, and a row of six sinks. Opposite the bathroom is the shower room, with a total of eight small compartments facing each other.

   "Not bad, not bad!" Jian Heng nodded.

  Daniel didn't see what was good about it, but he wasn't stupid enough to tell his boss about his true physiognomy. There is an old saying: Never spit in the bowl you eat in! Don't offend your own boss if you offend anyone.

   "Hmm! It's very clean and tidy!" Daniel couldn't find anything to boast about.

  After seeing the big dormitory, the two went to the indoor sports field. This place is even simpler. In fact, there are two basketball courts, with a total of four support columns wrapped in soft bags in the middle.

The ceiling height of the whole house is about seven meters or more, the same large room, wooden floor, other than a dozen pieces of sponge pads stacked together, a few sets of large ropes hanging in the corner, and some skipping ropes, nothing else .

  In Daniel's opinion, with these facilities alone, a hundred dollars a month is too expensive, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.

   But Jian Heng, the boss, is still a very closed-eyed person. He is not satisfied yet. After looking around, he opened his mouth and asked Daniel next to him: "Daniel, what do you think?"

   "Okay, very good!" Daniel immediately nodded and praised: "Clean, tidy!".

  After speaking, Daniel only felt a pain in his conscience, but as for lawyers, not many have a conscience, it just hurt for a while, and then Daniel forgot about it.

   "Well, it's not bad!" Jian Heng was very satisfied.

Jian Heng looked satisfied, and the results given by the inspection team also satisfied Jian Heng, because almost all of the materials used are natural materials, and it is impossible to completely eliminate formaldehyde and the like. There will always be some things like glue, but they are extremely If it is small, it only needs to be ventilated for a few days before it can live in people.

  Everything is complete, waiting for opening!
