pasture leisure

Chapter 159
The sudden enthusiasm made people feel quite awkward, not only Zhang Chi's feelings, Brian also couldn't accept it.

During lunch, Brian and Zhang Chi sat at the table.

The two of them have nothing to do, and they are usually the first to eat.

By the way, Melika’s ranch has a cafeteria, a small restaurant with an area of ​​about [-] square meters. Half of the restaurant area is the kitchen, and the other half is equipped with two tables. There are not many cowboys on the ranch, and the two small round tables are almost All people can be seated.

Moreover, all the cowboys don't eat at the same time, they eat in a staggered way, and there are usually not enough seats here.

The dishes in the kitchen are also very simple, usually there are steaks, salads and several kinds of soups, and sometimes there are some burritos and the like.

Today at noon, the kitchen provides steak, boiled corn on the cob, and vegetable salad. Unlike the past, today there is an additional fish steak and chicken burrito for everyone to choose from.

Zhang Chi didn't do anything else, the only thing he ate to his liking was steak.

"George, Brian!"

The chef is an aunt, a standard American-style big fat man, with a waist like an iron barrel and a neck that cannot be seen.

When they came to the table of the two, the aunt brought a plate to each of them, and each plate contained a candied fried egg.

"Thank you." Zhang Chi and the aunt were polite.

"You're welcome." The aunt put down the plate and left with a smile.

Zhang Chi turned his attention back to the steak in front of him.

Today's steak is bigger, not bigger, but in line with Zhang Chi's impression of steak, big and thick.It's not like the boxed steaks I ate in the past, which are the same as the boxed steaks bought in China. The thickness is less than half a centimeter, which is still raw.

Brian didn't ask for steak. What he wanted today was fish steaks. Fish steaks are usually sea fish steaks because they are big and have almost no spines. Americans are not very good at dealing with fish bones, and they think it is too troublesome to eat. .

This is a general explanation. Zhang Chi thinks that the biggest reason is that Americans don’t know how to cook freshwater fish. They cook them either by frying or grilling. Earthy smell.

The fish has an earthy smell, not only Americans, but many Chinese people may not find it delicious.

"Boss, what are you doing looking at the steak?" Brian ate half a piece of fish, and felt a little strange seeing Zhang Chi still looking at the steak in front of him.

Zhang Chi whispered: "Did you see that today's steaks have grown a bit."

Brian laughed straight away.

He naturally knew the reason. In the past, no one here liked the two of them. Now that the grass has sprouted, these people suddenly changed their faces. Originally, the steak was probably the smallest one for the two, but now it must be It's a standard steak.

After watching for a while, Zhang Chi cut up the steak, forked a piece, dipped it in the sauce next to it, and put it in his mouth.

The taste of the steak is very good. It can be seen that Da Ma's skill in grilling steak is much more reliable than her appearance.

The steak is delicate and juicy, but you can tell it is a fattened beef once you taste it. Grass-fed beef will not have such a full juice, and the aroma is not as good. It is said that the aroma of beef mainly comes from fat. Grass-fed beef has less fat. The aroma is not as strong as that of fattened cattle.

But if the light wheel is healthy, grass-fed beef must be better, and the prices of the two almost reflect this problem.

Fragrant beef, paired with the aroma of black pepper, is a perfect match for Zhang Chi. If you eat it once in a while, you don't have to worry about it being unhealthy, so a piece of steak quickly entered Zhang Chi's stomach.

A little vegetable relieved the greasiness, a candied omelette slipped through the cracks, and Zhang Chi was full.

"Eat slowly, I'll take a rest." Seeing that Brian was still eating, Zhang Chi pushed away the plate in front of him and stood up.

"Okay" Brian said.

The boss takes a nap at noon every day, which seems to have become a habit, and Brian is used to it.

Back in the dormitory, Zhang Chi put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, opened his pants to cover his belly, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

Sleeping in a daze, I felt as if someone was standing next to me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Melika looking at me with a smile.

"What are you doing, like a ghost?" Zhang Chi sat up suddenly.

Melika smiled and said, "I'll come over to see the grass buds."

"Just go and see the grass buds, what are you doing here to make me sleep?" Zhang Chi was a little speechless, this woman can still miss her when she doesn't see her, but when she sees her, there is nothing good.

Melika said: "Don't sleep, I will introduce you to business later."

Zhang Chi couldn't believe it, he opened his mouth and said, "You are so kind?"

Melika glanced at Zhang Chi, and made a strangled gesture: "Why do I have no good intentions, there are ranchers next to me who heard about it, and want to plant your grass on their pasture."

"Then you thank them for me, and tell them that at least this year is impossible," Zhang Chi said.

"Why?" Melika was a little strange: "It's not that they don't give money, I just pass on their meaning by the way."

Zhang Chi said: "I also want to have grass seeds for the money. The grass seeds saved last year have been used on your pasture. If you don't mind, you can share some of them. It is unrealistic to get them from me."

Let them grow pasture?How could Zhang Chi be willing to do this, and they didn't give themselves [-]% of the net profit, and after planting grass, Zhang Chi had to come over to water it at least once every three months, how could he have the time.

"Why not, Cannon told me..." Melika said solemnly.

Zhang Chi looked at her talking nonsense, and waited for Melika to finish speaking, Zhang Chi said to her: "If Cannon can tell you this, I will get you a big tripod for you to see now."

Zhang Chi knows Cannon well and trusts Cannon.

With Cannon's disposition, how could he tell others how many grasses he has in his ranch? Zhang Chi wouldn't ask about such things. Understand that there are some things that the boss should know. If the boss wants you to know, he will tell you. If he doesn’t tell you, it’s none of your business.

Melika is not embarrassed at all. It is normal for the two of them to be together like this. If you fool me, I will dig a hole for you to jump in. The two seem to be quite satisfied with this relationship.

"By the way, when are you going back?" Melika changed the topic in an instant.

Zhang Chi said: "Look at the situation in the afternoon, if there is nothing to do, I will leave in the afternoon."

Melika heard this and said, "You probably won't be able to go back these two days."

"Why?" Zhang Chi was a little curious.

"Eric asked everyone to work overtime, and the reorganized land was about to be planted at that time...".

Zhang Chi waved his hand after hearing this: "They can rush to open up the land, but I have the final say when to plant it."

Now that Zhang Chi's waist has stiffened, he can naturally speak loudly enough.

I thought that Melika would threaten me or something, but who knew that this little girl had changed her temper today, and she actually smiled and said: "It's up to you, as long as you plant all the leveled land according to the time we agreed. up".

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chi couldn't help being taken aback.

Seeing Zhang Chi's confusion, Melika asked again: "When can the cow enter the field?"

"It won't be that kind of thin calf?" Zhang Chi asked.

Melika said: "How can... forget it, let's be honest, that's it, you have to think about it for me, after all these days, I don't have much money in my pocket."

Seeing Zhang Chi looking at her with a mocking face, Melika began to cry poorly.

Zhang Chi didn't believe it, but he couldn't refute it, because he didn't know how much money Melika had, but Melika could almost know how much Zhang Chi had.

There is no way, the poor family has a clear account, and they can roughly figure out that little thing by counting it, and there is no way to hide it at all.You really want to hide it, but you have to have something XZ, your pocket is cleaner than your face, what are you hiding?

"It's up to you" Zhang Chi didn't care too much.

"How about meeting the ranchers around?" Melika asked.

"Are they coming?"

"Of course it's here, otherwise how would I know they are interested in the big mustard?" Melika said.

Zhang Chi thought for a while and replied: "I don't want it anymore, I have nothing to chat with them."

"Then you continue to lie down, goodbye."

After speaking, Melika turned and left Zhang Chi's small dormitory. When she reached the door, she half opened the door, and Melika stopped and turned her head.

"I told them to change you to a single room."

"No, it's pretty good here, anyway, I can't live for a few days," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi is not very particular about where he lives. When he came in to live alone, the smallest room Zhang Chi lived in was not as big as a quarter of what it is now.

And for Zhang Chi, the best place here is not his own home, and he will not come here often in the future, as long as there is a bed, there is no need to get a single room or something.

"what ever".

After dropping a sentence, Melika left Zhang Chi's room.

It was agreed to leave in the afternoon, but it didn't work out, because these cowboys really worked hard. With Zhang Chixian's effort, these guys actually transferred a few deep-plow tractors from a nearby pasture, directly overturning the efficiency several times.

What shocked Zhang Chi was not that the cowboys were desperate or inefficient, but that almost every ranch here had deep tractors.

This kind of tractor is not wheeled, but crawler, and the ground is tens of centimeters deep.

Zhang Chi was envious of this kind of tractor, because it was too expensive, and each one cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some might cost millions of dollars.

The ranchers here are so fucking rich!

Looking at the giant tractor roaring in the ranch, Zhang Chi felt envious.

But envy is envy, Zhang Chi also understands that his ranch doesn't need these at all.

As soon as the cowboys in the ranch worked hard, Zhang Chi would be busy, and the busy work lasted for almost half a month, until all the grass was planted.
