Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 66: Jian Heng's thoughts
Chapter 66 Jian Heng's Thoughts
The members of the engineering team were sent away. At this time, the renovation of the barn was officially kicked off. Everyone agreed that tomorrow they will officially enter the venue and start the renovation.
The matter at hand is almost done, Jian Heng poured himself a bosom of wine here, sat on the stool under the porch with the reddish-brown wine and let out a sigh of relief, drank the wine happily, and looked forward to own ranch.
I started working from the morning of waking up. At the beginning, I was delineating the candidates who would come to the town to help. Later, I discussed the renovation with the manager of the engineering company. Jian Heng accompanied the engineer to inspect the main structure of the barn. Thanks to the strong main frame of the entire barn, sufficient materials were used when it was originally built, so there is no need to add more load-bearing columns. Just add a layer to the original foundation, and that's it.
In this way, the amount of the entire project has dropped a lot, and of course the time has been a lot more. I have to say that this is good news for Jian Heng, who is now cash-strapped.
Just halfway through the wine in the wine glass, the sound of the car entered Jian Heng's ears. Jian Heng stood up and took a look, and soon found Zhang Jialiang's brand-new Tantu in sight.
Waiting for the car to arrive in front of his house, Jian Heng raised his wine glass: "Hi, everyone!"
"So elegant!" Zhao Changshan was the first to open the door and jumped out of the car, and said immediately when he saw Jian Heng's appearance.
"Why are you the one driving?" Jian Heng just wanted to go back to Zhao Changshan's words, but found that the driver of the car was actually one of the two McAvoy sisters.
"Why can't it be me?" McAvoy said, lightly brushing his hair.
At this time, Zhang Jialiang stuck his head out from the rear of the truck: "Brother Heng, I'm here!"
Seeing him sitting in the back of the car, Jian Heng smiled and praised him: "Okay, the awareness is quite high!"
Zhao Changshan said with a smile: "You thought he was willing to do it himself. Mai Mai snatched it by himself, but he, a big man, couldn't break Mai Mai without breaking his wrist."
Obviously, the few of them chatted well along the way, and Zhao Changshan even called him wheat.
"Wheat?" Jian Heng felt that the name seemed to be quite good, and wheat probably refers to Ashley.
Thinking of this, Jian Heng asked the girl who got off the car: "Ashley?"
Seeing her nodding her head, Jian Heng finally settled down.
"Wow, what is this?"
When everyone had no warning, Damai who had just got off the car over there suddenly let out a bluff.
Following her gaze, everyone saw a white fluffy little thing turning its head to shrink into the house, as if it was frightened by such a large group of people outside the house.
The one who came out to show his face was naturally the little white lion. The little thing had just woken up and was about to come out to play with Jian Heng, the master. Who knew that he was immediately seen by Damai when he went out.
The two sisters liked the two tigers so much, not to mention the plush and cute little white lion that looked like a ball of yarn.
"Wow, so cute!"
Sure enough, as soon as Xiaomai saw the retreating little white lion, stars flashed in his eyes, that guy is so bright.
As a result, Da Mai and Mai walked towards the little white lion with a half-bending waist, asking Jian Heng a barrage of questions as they walked.
"What is this?"
"Bite or not?"
"Where did you come from?"
These are not only the problems in the hearts of the two sisters, but also the problems in the hearts of other people nearby.
Jian Heng said calmly: "I brought back from Africa. This is a white lion cub, and there is also an African bison. This guy was here just now, and I don't know where he went now!"
Americans keep all sorts of strange pets. Not to mention others, it is said that former boxing champion Tyson had raised a tiger, so everyone didn't care too much about Jian Heng raising a beast.
Rich people, how can ordinary people understand how to waste money, not to mention that such a small lion has no lethality to people.
certainly! Everyone has also guessed that the origin of this white lion may not be so upright, but everyone will not be entangled in this matter.
Besides, this is Jian Heng's ranch, let alone raising lions, even raising dinosaurs is none of our business!
While Jian Heng was speaking, the two sisters had already forced the little white lion into the corner of the corridor.
Originally, the little white lion wanted to get into the house to avoid these terrible humans, but the door of Jian Heng's house is pushed outward, which means that when he wants to enter the door, he has to pull it. This is not easy for a lion Things, even if it can be pulled, it can't reach the doorknob due to its small size, so the little guy has to hide his body in the corner of the porch.
The little white lion can be regarded as having a bit of intelligence. It directly hid its body under the bench on the porch, and turned its face to the wall. Anyway, it couldn't see people, but it never thought that people could see it to it.
Balley and Wheat squatted in front of the bench, looking up at the little white lion crouching under the chair with high interest.
"Aww, aww!"
In less than a minute, the little white lion turned its head facing the chair, wanting to see if the two scary humans had left, but when it turned its head, it found that the two scary humans were actually right next to it. Immediately he roared nervously and kept calling his master Jian Heng to come and save him.
"Why howling, I'm playing with you!"
Jian Heng came over and stretched out his hand to drag the little white lion out, then dragged the little white lion's two front paws like catching a kitten, and put the little white lion in front of Barley and Wheat.
"Don't worry, it doesn't bite, just be careful when playing with it, it is still young and sometimes it can't control its strength, and it may scratch you sometimes," Jian Heng said.
The little white lion does not intend to catch people, but because it is too small to control its strength, sometimes when it is having fun, it will stretch out the little claws that are retracted in the soles of the feet to scratch people.
As soon as they saw the little white lion coming, how could Damai and Wheat be interested in listening to Jian Heng's words? Lions are so nice.
Let’s put it this way, the moment they saw the little white lion, the two sisters were poisoned by the little white lion, and it was a serious one.
Zhang Jialiang's eyes were also hot, and he said to Jian Heng: "Brother Heng, what you said yesterday was picking up the thing?"
Jian Heng nodded his head and hummed.
"It cost a lot of money to get it in, right?" Zhao Changshan asked.
At this time, several men who were standing outside the house also came over, and everyone stood around the little white lion.
"It's okay!" Jian Heng replied a little perfunctorily.
"This house will be the kitchen and dining room in the future?" Zhao Changshan is in his forties, how could he be like a group of young people in their twenties who can't take their eyes off a lion cub, after a while He opened his mouth and asked about something serious.
Jian Heng nodded and said, "Well, let me take a look for you to see what needs to be changed"
Immediately, there were more than 20 people eating in the ranch. It is a shame not to have a canteen. As for where Jian Heng will live in the future, everything is in the early stage. Shed, wait for some money, and then build a house on the other side of the silent lake.
Zhao Changshan stretched out his hand, motioning for Jian Heng to lead the way, so the two brothers walked into the house side by side.
Seeing Jian Heng entered the house, the little white lion suddenly became a little uneasy. He struggled to follow Jian Heng into the house, but how could the two sisters, Big Mai and Wheat, make him get what he wanted? The magic hand held the little white lion firmly in his hands, no matter how the little guy screamed or twisted, he couldn't move a single bit.
Entered the door, looked at the living room, Zhao Changshan shook his head: "This place is too small, it's a bit crowded with twenty people, let alone more than two people."
"The two wooden walls can be demolished. In this case, there will be almost two hundred square meters below, which should be enough for the time being." Jian Heng stretched out his fingers to the two walls on the left and right.
"You have to have a long-term plan, I think your business will definitely grow!" Zhao Changshan said.
Jian Heng smiled and asked, "How big is it?"
"However, there must be hundreds of people," Zhao Changshan said.
Jian Heng shook his head: "Hundreds of people are crowded in my ranch? That won't work, at most thirty or forty people, no more!"
"Why, don't you make money if you have money?" Zhao Changshan didn't understand Jian Heng's thoughts.
Jian Heng said: "Money is of course to be earned, but to make money you have to be comfortable. It looks like a vegetable market, so the gain is worth the loss!"
Jian Heng doesn't want to make his ranch look like a farmhouse. When it comes to rest days, there are huge crowds of people. Jian Heng's idea is to make money, but he can't make it too vulgar. Let's put it this way, Jian Heng wants to make his place a place where everyone wants to come, but ordinary people are not qualified to come in. That is to say, if you want to lose weight, control fat, or gain muscle and build muscle, money is the prerequisite, but you only have money. You may not be able to come in with money.
Let’s put it this way, it’s hunger marketing: money has been made, prices have risen, and reputation has grown.
