Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 512: Survival
Chapter 512 Survival
For Maimai, the current scene naturally became more and more unsatisfactory, so Jian Heng had to drag her home and continue to eat.
After eating, Barley and Wheat took a lunch break, while Jian Heng went out for a walk to see the progress of the runway and the foundation of the building.
After running on both sides, it took almost an hour. I went to the massage room to check the appointment status in the afternoon and make some work arrangements. When Jian Heng came out of the massage room, it was almost half past two.
At the door of the restaurant, Jian Heng saw Huang Xiaodong, just about to open his mouth to ask about the situation of looking for someone, when he saw Huang Xiaodong opened his mouth first: "Boss, I am looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Jian Heng asked.
Huang Xiaodong said: "Didn't you talk about finding someone to hunt rabbits in the morning? The people are all found. Do you want to pass by and see how they are? There is also the matter of wages, and Supervisor Toby will press Given the standard price here, you can see if it is suitable... ".
"So fast?" Jian Heng was surprised when he heard it. He said in the morning that it was difficult to find people, but now he has found all the people in less than two or three hours.
Thinking of this, Jian Heng asked again: "Is everyone here?"
"It's all there. Director Toby counts the three of us together, and then we can find ten more people. If Director Toby doesn't pick us, we can find all twenty people," Huang Xiaodong said.
Jian Heng was even more surprised now, he stretched out his hand and waved at Huang Xiaodong: "Where's the person?"
"It's at the door of our office"
Jian Heng said: "Then take me to see it!"
I can’t help it, Jian Heng is not surprised, now is the time when the ranch is busy, generally speaking, this is the time when the wages of casual cowboys are the highest, how can you hire ten people in this little time?
Follow Huang Xiaodong to the small office on the ranch. In fact, it is a small office, but it is actually a small room in the dormitory. There are a few desks in it, and there are two or three filing cabinets. They are filled with ranch cattle and deer. Under Toby's management, not only the cattle have files, but also the deer on the ranch. Now both the cattle and the deer are the property of the ranch.
Before reaching the door of the office, Jian Heng saw the group of people, and instantly understood why Toby hired ten people so quickly, because these people were not cowboys at all, they just wandered around the town Bounty Hunter.
"Why is it a bounty hunter?" Jian Heng frowned slightly.
Huang Xiaodong listened and said: "That's what I asked at the beginning, but Director Toby said that anyway, it's about catching rabbits, and cowboys and bounty hunters are not much different, and each of these bounty hunters is good at bows and crossbows. There is nothing better than killing rabbits."
Jian Heng didn't expect Toby to consider things so comprehensively. Now that he has thought of this point, Jian Heng feels that he doesn't have to worry about the rest. If you don't want to worry about it, then naturally you don't have to go over and ask questions, so Jian Heng stopped.
"Go and talk to Toby, just say that he can decide this matter himself." Jian Heng saw that Huang Xiaodong was about to run away, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him back.
"This group of bounty hunters still take this job?"
Finally, Jian Heng asked the question in his heart.
Hearing Jian Heng's question, Huang Xiaodong burst into laughter at first, and then took two steps closer: "Boss, you don't know, these bounty hunters are now poor and rich! Originally, the old group The bounty hunters are almost bankrupt, and the rest are just lingering, the newcomers are quite rich, but they make a lot of money!"
"I said that your ex-husbands are all spending time chatting now, are you going around like this now when you talk about something?" Jian Heng asked.
Zhang Jialiang is talking in circles now, why is it that Huang Xiaodong has this problem too.
"No, didn't I tell you the cause and effect! In short, these bounty hunters can't hunt the wolf king, they just sit and eat. These guys are all poor now, don't talk about our job, there are some bounties The hunters also started to help people find cattle and sheep."
Hearing what Huang Xiaodong said, Jian Heng suddenly realized that these bounty hunters had spent all the money in their pockets and wanted to earn some extra money to subsidize their lives.
After figuring this out, Jian Heng signaled Huang Xiaodong to go do his own work, and he turned around and went back to the house.
Waiting for the time to be almost up, Jian Heng recruited Heidou, and ran towards the sea of flowers one by one.
Before the people and horses reached the sea of flowers, they heard shouts from the sea of flowers. When Jian Heng stood on the ridge, he found that the work of these bounty hunters was in full swing.
I have to say that Toby is still talented in managing the ranch, and he is willing to put his heart into it. The bounty hunters he selected are all really good at archery. In Jian Heng's four or five minutes of observation, a few gold hunters The hunter was almost hit by arrows, and none of the arrows missed.
Jian Heng on the ridge watched these bounty hunters pick up the rabbit after they hit the rabbit. If some of them had dogs, they let the dogs carry them to a table where Zhang Jialiang was making records. There are also a few signs beside the table, with a series of numbers written on them. Without thinking too much, Jian Heng knows that this is the number of rabbits that each bounty hunter has hit. It seemed that there was a small game on Toby's side.
Seeing this, Jian Heng urged the horse to walk over.
"Boss!"
"BOSS"
Jian Heng went to the side of the stall, and someone immediately greeted him. Jian Heng didn't even know that he was a celebrity now, but several bounty hunters knew him.
Nodding at everyone, Jian Heng praised: "Have you hit so many?"
Seeing a few piles of rabbits beside him, Jian Heng couldn't help being a little shocked by the bounty hunter's methods. After a little more time, nearly a hundred dead rabbits were placed here. Not to mention that the old saying is true, professional things need professional people to do them well. Bounty hunters are indeed better than cowboys in hunting rabbits.
"You have to pay a lot!"
At this time, there is no one else who dares to talk to Jian Heng like that except Zhang Jialiang.
"Money is a trivial matter!" Since Jian Heng has hired people, how can he care about this little bit.
At this time, a bounty hunter said: "Mr. Jean, call us next time you have such a job."
"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Jian Heng laughed.
At this moment, another bounty hunter came over with a rabbit in his hand, motioned to Zhang Jialiang, and then asked Jian Heng: "Mr. Jin, can I use you to work and change my place to stay?"
Hearing what this person said, the eyes of the other bounty hunters widened at the same time. Now, for these bounty hunters, the biggest problem is two, food and shelter!
The problem of eating is actually not that difficult. This is a mountainous area, and there are wild game everywhere in the Rocky Mountains. As long as you are diligent, these bounty hunters will not starve to death. It's good to say that after half a month, it won't make people so comfortable. As for the campsite or something, you have to have money! Household appliances, water, etc. can’t be used for nothing.
As for hotels, even roadside motels now cost nearly 50% more per night than before, which is really not affordable for these cash-strapped bounty hunters.
Now that someone has raised this issue, these poor bounty hunters who came to work are naturally full of expectations.
Jian Heng listened and shook his head: "I can't satisfy you at this point, because almost all ranchers don't accept you, and it's not good for me to accept your words! Also, I don't really agree with violence to solve this problem. question".
Of course Jian Heng does not approve of violence, because it is his dog that is doing the trick.
Hearing what Jian Heng said, the little hope that was ignited in the hearts of the bounty wrongdoers was shattered again, but many of them also understood that no matter when they are independent, it is very difficult to live. Like other ranchers, it is not surprising to them, at least this calmness makes them feel that this Asian rancher is okay!
The bounty hunters did a good job. The number of rabbits who came to the pasture to graze in two or three days decreased significantly. Some of them were killed, and some were scared. No matter how delicious the grass is, it is not as important as being alive. People understand this One point, the rabbit knows it too!
After a few days passed, Jian Heng was gratified that no matter how he ate, the sea of flowers was still full the next day. It seemed that the flowers were like leeks in the wild. After one crop was harvested, it grew again overnight. Like a crop
