Chapter 352 Chapter 352 Cooperation with Makar

While Wei Ran and his team were walking towards the lake in the pickup truck driven by Makar, the Mexican cowboy named Diego had already disappeared on his horse.

"Aurora, what business do you plan to discuss with me?" Makar asked curiously.

"I'll explain it to you in detail when I get to the lake"

Sui Sui seemed to be particularly keen on making things difficult for the other party, and added another sentence after speaking, "Of course, it also depends on how many prey your cowboy friend can bring back."

Although Makar didn't know why, but for the sake of the dollar, he still picked up the mobile phone, shouted something in English that Wei Ran couldn't understand, and at the same time, slowed down the speed of the car again.

Not long after the car slowly drove back to the lake, Diego also chased after him on a horse. There were six or seven fat hares hanging on his horseback.

"Makar, how about borrowing your kitchen?" Wei Ran asked after taking the rabbit from the other party.

"Okay, of course, I'll take you there." Makar quickly led the three into the house, while that Diego led the horse to another house tens of meters away.

"Makar, let's talk."

Sui Sui sat at the edge of the dining table in a serious manner. While greeting Makar, she also took out the other [-] US dollars in cash from her bag and put it on the table. Brainwashed.

Regardless of the girl who was rarely arrogant, Wei Ran boiled a large pot of boiling water with the help of Kajianka, shed all the rabbits that were brought in, and then disemboweled them, and dug them out by the way. The rotten flesh hit by bullets.

Taking advantage of the time when Kajianka was accompanied by Jessica to go to the Mexican family next door to borrow peppers, Wei Ran also took out his mobile phone and connected it to WIFI, and found out the recipes he needed.

This meal is not only to fulfill Makar's promise to invite him to eat Chinese food, but also to let Makar realize the value of the existence of those wild rabbits.And this is undoubtedly Sui Sui's intention to deliberately make things difficult for the other party not long ago.

While blanching the rabbit meat, Wei Ran also borrowed the excuse of going to the bathroom to take out various seasonings from the food box that had been in it for an unknown amount of time. Immediately afterwards, Kajianka also brought back a pack of dried meat from the next door. Dried jalapeños.

"Don't you throw away the rabbit's head?" Katenka asked curiously.

"What you eat is the rabbit's head. You can't throw it away." While speaking, Wei Ran had marinated the skinned rabbit heads one by one according to the recipe.

"Your food in Huaxia is really strange." Katenka couldn't help muttering.

"When it's done tonight, you won't say that"

"Evening?" Katenka was stunned, "Does it take so long?"

“That's why it's delicious”

While Wei Ran was talking, he had boiled the sugar with coffee cube sugar, and threw all the chopped rabbit meat into it.He has already made this braised rabbit meat more than once. With the help of those spices that have been kept in the food box, even if he doesn't read the recipe, the taste is not bad.

When the pot began to steam with a strong aroma, Makar, who was sitting opposite Sui Sui at the dining table, agreed to a series of conditions from Sui Sui, and excitedly accepted the other $[-] in cash that had been teasing him. .

"Are you ready?" Wei Ran sat down beside Sui Sui and asked.

"It's over"

Sui Sui turned off the recording function of the mobile phone that had been on just now, and explained proudly in Chinese, "The previous [-] US dollars was our investment in his farm. Starting next summer, I will organize some fat sheep to come and play first. In addition , I don’t think there is any need to sign any agreement.”

"Then don't sign it"

Wei Ran said happily, of course he understood Sui Sui's hint, after all, the money was originally prepared by Gorman for his son, and the conditions just now were at best just an excuse for sending the money.

It would be best if Makar could abide by his agreement with Sui Sui, and there would be no loss if he did not.After all, it is not too difficult to find a farm in the United States that is overrun with wild boars and rabbits. Not to mention, there are several farms next door to Makar?
After talking about the business, when Makar locked the life-saving cash in the safe, everyone's attention was turned to the braised rabbit meat that was gurgling and smelling.And Diego next door, with his daughter Blanca and the fat wife who can only speak Spanish, brought ready-made chicken rolls and steaks, as well as two bottles of tequila brewed by himself. the door.

Although there are as many as four languages ​​used for communication between the three parties, they are common in the matter of being a foodie.Especially when Wei Ran served them each with a serving of hot braised rabbit meat, it brought a new taste experience to these idiots.

"There's too much chili," Sui Sui ate up a piece of rabbit leg meat, gasping for air, while evaluating, dug another piece of meat with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

"It's really too much." Wei Ran, who was also enjoying himself, took a big sip of cold beer, "I didn't expect the pepper she found to be so spicy."

"Although it is very spicy, it is very enjoyable to eat."

While Katenka, who was sitting on the other side of Sui Sui, gave a good review, he also picked up his wine glass and drank a big mouthful of cold beer. As for the tequila that Diego brought, no one dared to touch it.

It’s not that the Mexican cowboy who also eats the same soup is not good at brewing wine. In fact, whether it’s the chicken roll he brought himself or the braised rabbit meat made by Wei Ran, each meal is more spicy than the other. A mouthful of tequila, I am afraid you have to eat a cold fire extinguisher to calm your mouth down.

"Aurora, I admit that Victor's craftsmanship is very good, and this dish is very enjoyable to eat, but would anyone really be willing to come to our farm for some rabbits?"

Facing Makar’s doubts, Suisui gave a confident answer, “Don’t worry Makar, they are not just here to eat rabbits, they also want to experience the work on the farm, from milking cows to taking pictures in denim, and There’s been hunting rabbits and boars myself, even riding baled hay down the roof of a warehouse.”

"And Diego's process of brewing tequila"

Katenka, who had already begun to wipe the plates with slices of bread, reminded, "When I went to borrow peppers, I saw that they planted a large piece of agave. You must have seen the video of harvesting agave to make wine, right? "

"Kakalenina" Sui Suo held up the wine glass, "How about you continue to be a tour guide and interpreter for our tourists next summer?"

"I?"

Katenka was stunned, and looked at Wei Ran subconsciously. Seeing the surprise hidden in the latter's eyes, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "No problem, if I have time next year, of course I can work for you .”

"Then it's settled!" Sui Sui clinked glasses with Katenka happily, and drank it all with her head raised.

Glancing again at Wei Ran who was dumbfounded, Katenka picked up the glass and poured the cold beer into his mouth.She didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to her work as a translator and tour guide. As for whether to continue at that time, she would naturally follow the boss's arrangement, and it was not her turn to worry about such things.

After a sumptuous lunch, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. After everyone had a short rest, Makar did not mention the matter of continuing to repair the barbed wire fence. Instead, he took the initiative to invite Sui Sui and others to visit their farm and prepare By the way, listen to the opinion of the patron.

And that cowboy Diego, after learning that he had accidentally obtained an investment of [-] U.S. dollars, took the initiative to find a few sets of denim clothes from his house for the three of them to change into. A docile mare.

Under the guidance of Makar, Wei Ran stepped on the horse, looked at the revolver with no bullets on his waist, then at the leather whip in his hand and the old-fashioned lever shotgun hanging on the horse's back, and finally looked at the Putting on a cowboy hat that Diego handed over, he settled into a pose and let Sui Sui take a photo for him.

Cautiously riding the horse, he followed Makar around the lake, and Sui Sui became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it, not to mention others.

In addition to the dairy cows and beef cattle kept in the cattle pen, this farm also has about a hundred sheep, a dozen turkeys that are said to have run away and refused to leave, and two deer bought to accompany the children.

On the opposite side of the lake, in addition to a large field of agaves that are overwintering, according to Makar, they are also planning to plant a large field of corn next year.Following his introduction, Sui Sui, who was sitting on horseback, had spooky ideas popping up one after another in her mind, so that Makar had to take out her mobile phone to record what she said one by one.

"The last is this oak forest"

After turning around the lake, Sui Sui, who was wearing a denim jacket, pulled the rein in a strange way, and waited for the white horse under her butt to stop, then turned half of her body cautiously, pointed to the thick oak trees near the house and said, " The first batch of people I brought should not be too many, so your houses should be able to accommodate you, but as the number of tourists increases in the future, there may not be enough rooms.”

Seeing Makar looking at him seriously, Sui Sui, who had already let his imagination go wild, said excitedly, "So if you think the profit is okay, you can use these oak trees to build some tree houses. There are so many trees here. It can be used as a raw material, and I don’t think it will cost much.”

"And jeans and a shotgun"

Katenka, who had been following along, helped to remind, "This kind of lever-type shotgun has too much recoil. They are only suitable for taking pictures. You can prepare some .22-caliber shotguns."

"That's right! Sister Ka is right!" Sui Sui immediately nodded in agreement, "Speaking of which, there are also souvenirs, whether it's a leather whip or a cowboy hat, you can do whatever you want. Someone will definitely buy these things."

"I remember them all"

Makar tapped the screen of his mobile phone and took down Sui Sui and Katenka's suggestions, then raised his head and asked, "Victor, do you have any suggestions?"

"Buy a money counter with better quality," Wei Ran, who had been watching the excitement along the way, teased with a smile.

"This can really make money?" Makar couldn't help but asked again the doubts in his heart.

"Markar, you should be ready."

"What preparation?" Makar looked at Sui Sui and asked.

"Be prepared to convince your neighbors to let you take tourists to hunt on their farms when you don't have enough rabbits on your farm."

"It's easy," Makar said confidently, "as long as I charge them less money, they will be more than happy to let us in."
