pasture leisure

Chapter 126
As the temperature in the room rose, Zhang Chi took off his thick coat.

Similarly, Yan Zhou and the others also took off their coats. Everyone moved their hands and feet, and suddenly felt a lot lighter.

These people are all from the south, and the farthest north is just the banks of the Yangtze River. Where can I see such heavy snow and such low temperature.

Just now she was wrapped up like a brown bag, but now she suddenly took off the heavy coat, and felt an indescribable lightness on her body.

"This fireplace is really warm, much hotter than the fireplace at my home." Sun Mao squatted beside the fireplace, stretching out his hand while warming the fire.

Sun Fan said: "The fireplace in your house is just a show, it's just for storing coins. They really want to keep warm and survive. Of course, yours can't be compared."

Zhang Chi heard everything, but he has no time to chat with these people now. Since he brought these compatriots home, he must not only give them a place to sleep, but also take care of the five internal organs temple for several people.

As for whether they were hungry, Zhang Chi didn't ask. It would be strange if they were not hungry.

"I don't have anything good to eat at home now. Either roast beef with potatoes or roast beef with tomatoes, which one do you like more?"

In the past, Zhang Chi’s house had stuff, almost all kinds of vegetables, but now Zhang Chi decided to go back to his hometown, and there were not a few days left. No matter how many things were stored in the refrigerator, it would be bad. A lot of vegetables, Cannon do not eat.

So after eating a lot of vegetables, Zhang Chi didn't go to his aunt's house and Aunt Phil's house to gather wool.

So now there is nothing in the house, the refrigerator is almost full of tomatoes, green peppers, etc. As for meat, there is no need to store it in the refrigerator now, there is a natural big refrigerator outside the house.

Several people were really hungry, and when they heard what Zhang Chi said, they were a little more polite.

Yan Zhou said: "If it's not troublesome, let's cook beef with potatoes!"

"No trouble, what's the trouble, then roast beef with potatoes," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

After speaking, he walked out of the room, came under the porch, stretched his head to look at the top and began to choose meat.Now there are hundreds of catties of frozen meat hanging under the shelf at home, including beef, mutton and pork. There are less mutton and pork, but more beef, and all of them are slaughtered by Zhang Chi's own cattle.

Picking a piece, Zhang Chi picked it off with a pole, and wiped the ice flakes on it with his hand. When his hand touched the surface of the meat, a biting cold spread through his whole body through his palm.

Zhang Chi withdrew his hand and carried the meat into the house.

"Niu Nan?"

When Sun Mao saw the meat in Zhang Chi's hand, he couldn't help but say something.

"Of course it's Niu Nan's stewed potatoes. The meat tastes worse in other places." Zhang Chi picked up the meat in his hand and shook it at Sun Mao.

Yan Zhou looked at the meat in Zhang Chi's hand, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good piece of meat, the price is not cheap."

Zhang Chi smiled, turned his head and said to Yan Zhou: "You still know meat? You can see it frozen like this, okay?"

Yan Zhou saw that Zhang Chi doubted himself, so he said: "I used to raise cattle for five or six years, and my first business was beef to make money. Your beef is really good, it's the top part of the tenderloin. , very few tendons, very little oil, more lean meat, the best beef nan meat".

Now Zhang Chi really thinks that Yan Zhou understands beef, because the piece of beef tenderloin he is carrying in his hand is really like what he said, it is taken from the top of the tenderloin, it is the best beef tenderloin on the whole cow, and it is used for It's perfect for goulash.

As for why Zhang Chi chooses this piece of meat, it’s not our old tradition that if you serve the guests, you bring out the worst and the worst ones, so that’s the way it goes. Naturally, when the guests come, they must ask for something good to entertain them.

That's the reasoning, but having said that, Zhang Chi doesn't seem to have any bad meat here. He thinks beef and hooves are not good, but he has fed them all.

He was not willing to part with the ox tail, so he stewed it by himself and ate it with Er Gou and Mo Zhiye.

Which of the remaining beef intestines and tripe can be thrown away in Chinese food?

So strictly speaking, any piece of meat is a treasure.

Giving a thumbs up to Yan Zhou, Zhang Chi carried the meat to the kitchen, put it into the micro furnace and beat it slightly, all the ice in the beef melted, and the meat was poked softly with his hands, and then he took it out.

Next, cut the meat into small cubes the size of mahjong, add the ingredients to marinate, and then start to blanch the water. Chi will stew in a big iron pot.

But the current situation does not allow it. I am happy to cook it in an iron pot. The four guests will probably roll their eyes hungry.

The taste of the pressure cooker is a bit worse, but it saves time.

A pot of stewed rice and a large pot of roasted beef with potatoes were placed on the table, and within half an hour, the four of them ate all of them.

"How about I fry up some more steak for them?"

Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed when he saw that the two of them had already looked at the empty pot, and said that he would make something for them to eat.

Gu Ming, who was about to add another bowl of rice, said: "No, no, we haven't eaten such authentic Chinese food for a long time. We went north along the coastline from California, and we lost touch with authentic Chinese food. We want to eat in Chinatown The authentic meal is not our taste, and those people can't understand the speech... Today is the most authentic Chinese meal we have eaten in ten days."

"Going to Chinatown? Then you went to the wrong place. Now the authentic Chinese food is in the top business district. Don't look at it from a low-end perspective. The top-notch Chinese food here is really not something ordinary people can consume. It costs hundreds to thousands of dollars at every turn, and the average American family is reluctant, most of the people who eat there are their own people, if you want to know, just call and check, it is easy to find out," Zhang Chi said.

Now Chinese food is not the same as before. When it comes to Chinese food, there are two red lanterns hanging at the door, and a big golden dragon is just a few steps into the house. The decoration is completely based on the Chinese style imagined by Americans.

But as the country's economy takes off, some Chinese restaurants are becoming more and more high-end. As for celebrity chefs and the like, it is not something ordinary people can consume.

Don't talk about consumption like Zhang Chi, just looking at the menu has to hold your stomach and hurt several times.

"Did you buy this beef?" Yan Zhou asked.

Zhang Chi said: "No, my own cattle."

As soon as Yan Zhou heard it, he became interested: "Can I go and see the cow?"

Zhang Chi said: "There is nothing wrong with this. After everyone has eaten, we will go to the cowshed."

Zhang Chi didn't think there was anything Niu couldn't watch, so the compatriots could watch it if they wanted to.

Just when Zhang Chi finished speaking, there was a sudden whine.

"What a fierce cat!"

Sun Mao was taken aback.

As soon as Sun Mao put down the bowl, he saw Ergou lazily entering the room. Sun Mao, who was full, saw a cat, so he naturally wanted to paw it twice.

Who knew that when he bent down, before he stretched out his hand, Ergou suddenly jumped up, stretched out his paw, and scratched Sun Mao. If Sun Mao hadn't flashed so fast, there would have been at least a few blood spots on his body today come out.

"Don't touch it. Ergou has a bad temper. It's not like a normal cat. It's fine if you touch it. This guy doesn't like others to touch it."

Zhang Chi immediately reminded everyone.

What's the most grumpy thing on the whole ranch?
The answer is two dogs!
What is the second bad temper?
Big bull and two tigers?

No, it's the donkeys that Zhang Chi got back from the ranch for cheap. Zhang Chi doesn't come near them now, because these guys bite and kick after they catch them. Zhang Chi has seen these donkeys before. Killed a fox that had slipped into a pasture.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Chi really couldn't imagine that the stupid donkey in people's impression could be so violent.

As the old saying goes, those who are cruel are afraid of being ruthless, and those who are ruthless are afraid of dying. These stupid donkeys just want their lives.

The third is the big goose, and the fourth is the rooster. The big bull and the two tigers are even dangerous in the top ten.

oooo, oooo!
Ergou saw that Sun Mao was being honest, so he continued to take small steps leisurely, cursing and threatening other strangers in the room as he walked, telling them not to think of him.

Sun Mao was a little embarrassed, but no one cared about his embarrassment, so this embarrassment stopped after a while.

After eating, Yan Zhou and the others rushed to wash the dishes and brush the pots.

After a short rest, Zhang Chi asked Yan Zhou, "Going to see the cow?"

Yan Zhou nodded in response, "Go and see the cow."

I heard that to see the cattle, the rest of the three also stood up, Zhang Chi and Yan Zhou have gone, what are the three of them doing in the house?Naturally, it is better to go with them.

Zhang Chi led Yan Zhou and others to the old shed first, and when they opened the small door and walked in, Yan Zhou and the others were suddenly stunned, so that all the cows in the cowshed raised their heads and looked at them.

There are not many cows in the old shed now, about half of the space on the left is for miscellaneous cattle, and on the opposite side are more than [-] Gascon cows.

At this time, Cannon had just added fodder to the cattle, and the fodder troughs on both sides of the aisle were full of fodder.Originally, these cows were grazing with their heads stretched out one by one. They seemed a little curious when they saw the appearance of Yan Zhou and the other four, and they all looked at the door one by one.

The four of Yan Zhou's legs suddenly became weak, as if a sandbag was tied to their legs.Not to mention moving a step, he couldn't even open his mouth to make a sound.

The four of them maintained the appearance of just entering the door, not daring to move!

Zhang Chi still felt that he was talking with Yan Zhou and the others at this time, and walked forward, only to find that the four of Yan Zhou hadn't followed after turning his head.

"Come in! What are you doing standing at the door? Also, close the door... I'll go."

Now Zhang Chi found that the four of Yan Zhou were like wax figures, and the most important thing was their posture, which made people wonder what to say.

After a closer look, Zhang Chi understood.

Daniu and Erhu were sitting on each side, sitting at the gate.

The big cow and the two tigers knew that there was a stranger coming, but they also sensed the movement of Zhang Chi, the master, so the two dogs didn't make any alarm sounds. They were originally one on the left and one on the right, lying on both sides of the gate, using straw to cushion them Dozing off.

Now when people come in, the two of them naturally have to sit up and pay attention to whether the stranger has followed their belongings.

As soon as they sat up, Yan Zhou and the others who came in were about to have a heart attack from fright.

The big cow with a shoulder height of [-] centimeters, and the two tigers with a shoulder height of more than [-] centimeters, coupled with the thick mane on their necks, make their heads look at least [-] to [-] percent larger.

None of the four dared to admit that it was a dog at first!Thought it was some kind of American beast.

When they came back to their senses, they knew that these two were dogs, and the four of them didn't dare to move, because such a big dog would probably kill them with only one bite, and if they took a second bite, they would have earned themselves.
