1745. Zhang You on Vacation
Zhang You got up early in the morning and trotted around the pasture twice. After feeling that his muscles and bones had been stretched, he did a set of Taijiquan that he learned in domestic parks. Although this kind of Taijiquan is not What kind of profound knowledge is there? It can only be a simplified version spread among the people, but after playing a whole set, Zhang You still feels that his energy has been mobilized, and even the whole person's spirit has become very vigorous. .
Originally, Zhang You would report to the ranch cowboy dormitory on time every morning according to his previous work and rest habits, and then follow everyone to get variety shows to carry out the grazing work. However, with the advent of winter, the frequency of grazing has gradually decreased. Most of the cattle herds His diet has already been settled by silage, and the whole ranch has become less busy, so he naturally relaxes.
As soon as winter comes, almost all ranch employees are like this. It can be said that among the first few seasons of the year, only winter cowboys are the most relaxed and free. They just need to wait for the call of the person in charge at any time, and do some You can do what you can, and you don't have to stick to your job all the time, and there is no such cumbersome business that does not stop from morning to night.
Generally, other cowboys would look for some other handymen to spend this winter season in the past time period. Although there is a basic salary for being on standby in the ranch, no one will ever think that earning money will be too much. of.
However, with the substantial increase in the salary standard of the ranch in the past two years, people are too lazy to go out to do some jobs that do not match their abilities in this cold winter, and then get those very low salaries.
Zhang You has been with this group of cowboys for a long time, and gradually his life, rest and work habits are very similar to those of these people. If a person who does not know him stands in front of him and observes carefully, he can conclude that The answer is that the other party is an out-and-out Chinese old cowboy, not a new immigrant who has just come from China for a year or two.
Zhang You has been busy some time ago, or helped the ranch repair the slightly dilapidated fence. If there are any hazards in the winter ranch that can be prevented, then the beasts that go down the mountain due to the shortage of food in winter and look for food are the top priority.
Maybe the ranchers who run the ranch will have similar feelings and thoughts. Entering the winter together, the weather suddenly becomes cold, and many animals are also arranged by pet customs, entering a state of hibernation, and those carnivores can’t find them for a while. Seeing the food that can be found, naturally driven by hunger, they rushed from the mountain to the downhill.
And these hungry and red-eyed beasts don't need to care about the deterrence that people usually do for him. If the fences in some places are damaged and are not repaired in time, they will directly enter the interior of the ranch along the gap and destroy wantonly Everything in the ranch will at the same time hurt the cattle and drag the spoils away, relying on this method of plunder to survive this cold winter period.
In order to avoid this situation this year, David gritted his teeth and used some better quality fence materials after considering the profit of the ranch for a whole year. The tubular fences made of steel were installed one after another on the ranch. 4 weeks, it can provide the safest protection, and also avoid the situation where this kind of beast will take advantage of it.
In fact, in other time periods, most other pastures will use fences made of wood for protection. Although the protection performance is somewhat different from that made of iron and steel, at least the cost is much lower, and it does not cost much to replace once a year. Maintenance It is even cheaper to repair.
But for David, sometimes time is often the most precious thing. It seems a bit too wasteful to spend too much time on repairing these fences. After seeking Lisko’s opinion, he decisively The rigid ones are used to complete this kind of protection work. Although the cost of the steel ones is much higher, at least one installation can protect them for five or six years without excessive frequent repairs and replacements.
As for which of the two materials is better, it can only be decided by the benevolent and the wise. Small ranches are more suitable for wood, and large ranches may be a better choice to save time, effort and worry.
After completing the maintenance of the fence, there is almost nothing busy on the ranch. Many cowboys have already entered a state of rest. David only left a few cowboys he trusts as guards. In addition to dealing with some sudden emergencies, everyone else has entered a state of rest as much as possible.
For Zhang You, there is actually no such thing as a holiday or a holiday. Whenever he wants to go to the ranch to help, he can help. When it comes to criticizing the other party, one is because of his age, and the other is that Zhang You has always been paid for doing things and does not do things. Even if he is paid, he will refuse.
Since Zhang You was able to earn wages from the ranch and save some private money, Li Feng exposed him, his interest and joy in this job has become much lower. On the one hand, it is to pass his boring time, Because mosquitoes are also meat, although most of the wages have been confiscated by his wife, they can still earn a little profit from Weibo. Too harsh to care.
It is said that wealth is the biggest motivation for people to become diligent. This is the case for Zhang You. When all the wages were all controlled by himself, he was so happy to work every day. He has lost that mood now. Anyway, it’s just step by step, like going to the ranch to report on time, it doesn’t matter if you can earn a little or not, anyway, it doesn’t have much impact on your life.
To describe it in a more fashionable way, it is that Zhang You has completely laid down now, and has lost his thoughts and plans on whether he can make money. He is also familiar with the work of the ranch. Most of the time Just simply want to find someone to chat with, or enjoy the fun of playing with everyone.
Originally, if there were no other arrangements, Zhang You should have found a way to earn some money in other ways during this period, or spent most of his time researching fishing, ice fishing and other fun things with the cowboys on the ranch, but my daughter Suddenly news of pregnancy came out, so he couldn't be so slack. He needed to stay at home and do some work within his capacity, and at the same time help his wife so that she could save some time.
