pasture leisure

Both Zhao Yue and Duan Shuyi felt a little speechless, why couldn't they talk to Melika.

At this time, Zheng Bohong came out with a plate of food in his hand: "Don't sit still, pack up your things and prepare to eat."

After finishing speaking, he put the dishes in his hands on the table, turned around and entered the kitchen again.

At this time, Zhang Chi was holding the pot in his hand, and was putting the fish in the pot on the big fish plate. Finally, he pushed the fish a few times with the spoon to put the fish in the right position. After brushing off the oil in the pot a few times, the pot was re-hung on the pot rack on the wall.

As soon as they sat down at the table, Zhao Yue and Duan Shuyi immediately forgot what happened just now.

"Lao Zhang, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."

As he said that, Duan Shu stretched out his hand and slapped the dish twice, blowing the fragrance of the dish into his nose.

Zhao Yue said at this time: "Why don't you drink some wine, how can such a good dish be served without wine?"

"Drink, drink!" Duan Shuyi immediately agreed.

Then the eyes of both of them fell on Zheng Bohong.

Zheng Bohong could only stand up with a wry smile to get the wine.

"I can't drink much, just a glass." Zhang Chi said immediately when he saw Zheng Bohong holding two bottles of wine.

Zheng Bohong said: "They are wine barrels, and we don't bring persuasion wine. They can drink as much as they can."

After speaking, sit down and start pouring wine.

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Chi held a cup in front of him.

When everyone got the cups, they raised them together.

"cheers".

"I can't do it," Zhang Chi said quickly.

Zhao Yue said: "You can cook good food but you can't drink alcohol. You have lost your skill in vain."

"Eat more delicious dishes," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Then everyone started to eat.

Duan Shuyi picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and slowly tasted it, while tasting it, he couldn't stop humming to show his praise to Zhang Chi.

"It's not bad either. The fried kidneys are really good and there's no smell at all. Not only is it tender, but it also smells like green garlic. I love it," Zhao Yue also said.

Melika said: "Why don't you two seem to have eaten anything? Your craftsmanship is better than your cook's?"

"It's different, the taste is different," Zhao Yue said.

"It's fine if you don't praise me, don't make trouble, okay, I like people to praise me, you two come to my place when you have time, I will make boiled beef for you, I am the best at this thing" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

The more Zhao Yue and Duan Shu exaggerated, the happier Zhang Chi was.

This guy is purely dog-faced, he will be happy when people praise him, but he will turn his face if someone scolds him.

Melika continued to eat, clinking glasses with a few friends from time to time while eating.

"I heard that your cattle are well raised?" Zheng Bohong said.

Zhang Chi is also not humble: "It's good, but it's useless no matter how good it is, and it can't be sold at a high price. Those guys who collect cattle are really ruthless. A pound of live cattle costs more than two yuan. Just by raising them There is not much profit for cattle anymore...".

"Why don't you export to China? As long as your cattle are of good quality, you can make more money exporting them than selling them in the United States," Zheng Bohong said.

Zhang Chi smiled and didn't answer.

He also wants to sell it domestically. First, the price is high, and second, Zhang Chi’s beef is also good. All of them are grass-fed, without hormones, and without feed.

But he has no way, and it is really not troublesome for his cattle to be slaughtered, stored and transported.

Zheng Bohong also said this casually at the wine table, everyone was just looking for a topic, and it was really difficult to sell Zhang Chi's beef to China.

Everyone knows that Zhang Chi only has a pasture of more than [-] acres. How many cows can be raised on this pasture, and the cost of doing it specially is really high. There are people who suffer losses these years, but no one wants to do unprofitable and troublesome business. .

"By the way, how many calves did you buy this time?" Melika asked suddenly.

Zhang Chi said: "Seven hundred heads."

Melika calculated in her mind: "Then your ranch now has more than a thousand cows?"

"Well, let me give you a heads up. If you sell a batch in autumn, the capacity of the ranch may be full," Zhang Chi said.

Now the original cows in the pasture have calves, and at the end of autumn, there will be hundreds more calves in the pasture, and the bulls bought this time will be raised and sold. No need to buy cattle anymore.

"By the way, I heard that you bought a thoroughbred horse, and it will be on the track soon," Zhao Yue said.

Zhang Chi glanced at Melika and said with a smile, "You talk a lot."

"Just heard what she said, how is the horse?" Zhao Yue asked.

Zhang Chi said: "Others think it's not good, but I'm quite optimistic."

Zhang Chi has no way to say no. If he says no, he will push the silly big tree onto the track. Don’t others feel sick? Although others laugh at him now, is there anyone in this world who doesn’t get laughed at?

He is not afraid of being laughed at, Guan Jian is that if this experiment is successful, he can make a lot of money.

"Forget about his horse, it's not only ugly but also stupid, and it's quite tall," Melika said casually.

"Let's run and see, what if it runs out, who knows if the horse runs well if you don't go on the track?" Duan Shuyi said cheerfully.

Zheng Bohong said at this time: "When will you run?"

"Next week, next Saturday, there are about ten days left," Zhang Chi said.

After hearing this, Zheng Bohong said, "Why don't we go and have a look together and cheer on Zhang Chi's horse?"

"Yeah!"

Zhao Yue nodded immediately.

Duan Shuyi also hummed twice.

Zhang Chi was a little strange: "You have stayed here for so long? Don't do domestic affairs?"

Zheng Bohong said with a smile: "There is no money to be made. It is mainly for life, and we take care of everything. What does the manager do? Every year we take at least two months to rest. Even in China, we are very To manage everything with little attention to detail, managers must learn to let go and leave time for their own lives.”

Zhang Chi gave Zheng Bohong a thumbs up: "That's a good point, Melika will follow along and look at Zheng Bohong."

At least in Zhang Chi's view, Melika's work is quite busy. Every day is not only work, but also work, and she doesn't understand life at all. In this regard, Melika is far behind me and Lao Zheng. .

Seeing Zhang Chi's appearance, Melika gave Zhang Chi a disdainful look, and then continued to stretch out her chopsticks to pick up the fish.

Before Zhang Chi had eaten a chopstick, he found that the fish had been eaten by less than half, and everyone greeted the meat on the belly of the fish.

"You don't know how to eat fish, fish cheek is the best."

Zhang Chi stretched out his chopsticks and tapped the untouched fish head. He didn't touch the fish meat, but just reminded everyone.

Others didn't take it seriously. Those who should eat fish maw still ate fish maw, and those who liked fish backs still greeted fish backs. Zhang Chi felt that these fools couldn't even eat fish, so he caught the fish's face. I ate it happily.

After eating the fish cheek meat, Zhang Chi started to deal with the fish head.

Taking a bite of the fish head, Zhang Chimei almost groaned at the delicious smell.

Zheng Bohong's fish here is really good. It doesn't taste like farmed fish, but it tastes like wild fish.

Generally speaking, farmed fish are relatively fat, with a lot of fish oil under their stomachs, while wild fish have very little, because fish oil generally cannot accumulate under wild conditions, and they have to swim continuously, and they can also guard against natural enemies. .

"I didn't expect that you have some skills, and the fish you raise are almost wild," Zhang Chi said while eating.

Zheng Bohong said: "We don't feed food here, we only feed aquatic plants, and we don't feed too much each time, and there are carnivorous fish in the pond. The fish have a lot of activity, and the taste is naturally good. Today this fish is in the pond. It has been grown for at least two or three years, how can it be so time-consuming to breed.”

Zhao Yue said: "The guests who come here also like it. It is also a pleasure to come here to fish and eat by yourself."

Zhang Chi just praised it casually. He didn't know that Zheng Bohong and others had consulted professional aquaculture experts because of raising this fish. It's different to put it directly in the pond as Chi thought.

Chatting while eating, the meal lasted for almost two hours, and everyone was full.

This group of people really can drink, two bottles of wine are divided among five people, and none of them is drunk.

After dinner, Zheng Bohong asked Zhang Chi to go out for a walk to refresh himself.

When they came back, the three girls were already tossing around in the outdoor swimming pool.

The three of Zhao Yue can swim and swim very professionally, unlike Zhang Chi, who can only dog ​​plan, or float.

The three of them are like three mermaids in the water, their movements are silky and smooth, and they look beautiful.

"You two come down for a swim?"

Zhao Yue came to the side of the two, and said to Zhang Chi and Zheng Bohong while thumping in the water.

Zhang Chi said: "If you don't bring swimming trunks, you can't go swimming in big pants."

"What are you paying attention to, come down, don't worry, everyone will not laugh at you if they are gone," Zhao Yue said with a smile.

Zheng Bohong also said: "I just finished eating, I don't want to make a fuss, I will swim again when I come back from practice."

Except for Zhang Chi, the rest of them have the habit of exercising. There is no way. Now people with a little money pay attention to exercising. This seems to be learned from the Americans. Once they have money, they will do body management.

Zhang Chi is not happy to do this, he thinks it’s okay to toss about something, and finally eat something, and you toss it away again, in order to make yourself look better, some people don’t eat much, or they just eat food every day. Less than a chicken.

Zhang Chi is not criticizing this kind of life. It has nothing to do with him how other people's lives want to be, but he doesn't want to do it himself.

Eat well and sleep well to live a good life. You can't eat anything, and you can't let go of your belly when you encounter delicious food. Living doesn't seem to mean much to Zhang Chi.

"Go, practice for a while!"

Zheng Bohong dragged Zhang Chi to the gym.

Zhang Chi didn't want to go, but Zheng Bohong was too kind, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Zheng Bohong into the gym.

Zhang Chi really didn't notice that there is actually another floor in this house, and the basement floor is a complete gym, which looks to be more than [-] square meters. Anyway, he knows what a gym should have, and there is nothing missing in it.

Zheng Bohong trains very seriously, from warm-up to aerobic, and then strength.Zhang Chi was pedaling a bicycle beside him. He hadn't moved from place to place since he came in, and he was pedaling while swiping his phone.

When I saw Zheng Bohong squatting, his face flushed, and he made a ho-ha sound like squatting in a tuba, he felt that it would be great if this person went to the construction site to move bricks, and he could earn money without using these equipment.
