pasture leisure

Chapter 281 Plan
It was getting late, and the sun was just the afterglow on the horizon.

On the pasture of Zhangchi Ranch, there are still a group of people surrounding the cattle. These ranchers and cowboys, after watching for so long, are still full of curiosity about these big black cattle, and they refuse to disperse around them.

Old Xu had a shy smile on his face, listening to the old cowboys' guesses about cows with his ears pricked up.

In Zhang Chi's view, this is very simple. Just slaughter a cow and you will know the approximate meat yield of the cow, as well as the quality of the beef.

But a bunch of cowboys were embarrassed to mention it, and Lao Xu didn't know whether it was unexpected or reluctant, so he didn't mention it.Zhang Chi thought of it, but he couldn't mention it, because these cattle were still Lao Xu's assets.

Let Lao Xu kill the cow, so Zhang Chi has become one of those people on the Internet, forcing others to lose money, and using other people's money to fill his own generosity.

Zhang Chi stood at the door of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his house, with his hands folded on his chest, looking at the group of guys outside.

Melika felt that her husband was too idle. It was really boring to stand at the window and watch others watch cattle. She poured Zhang Chi a cup of tea and brought it to Zhang Chi.

"Drink some water, it's almost half an hour since you've been standing here," Melika laughed.

Zhang Chi took the teacup, took a sip, and accidentally drank some tea, so Zhang Chi spit it out, and said at the same time: "These people are idle, what's so good about these cows, take a look at each of them. I’ve been watching it all afternoon, and I haven’t seen enough.”

puff!

Melika couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing. She really couldn't understand that a person who stood by the window and watched others watch cows for more than half an hour, could still say such words.

"Okay, don't tease me, you are just like them." Melika smiled and walked back.

Zhang Chi heard this, shrugged at Melika, and looked outside again.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, do you think I should also go into the mountains to find the cattle, if I find them, our life will be easier?" Zhang Chi said suddenly.

Melika stopped after hearing this, turned her head to look at Zhang Chi, and asked very strangely: "Are you going to find a cow?"

"Why can't I find a cow?" Zhang Chi was a little strange: "Are you looking down on me?"

Melika shook her head and said, "I just think this doesn't match your personality. I think it's normal for others to go looking for cattle, but you always feel a little weird."

Melika has always thought that Zhang Chi is quite calm, or that his desire for money is not high, at least not as high as ordinary people.

And the fact is like what Melika said, if he didn't know about it, or if he didn't make it up by himself, Zhang Chi really didn't have much interest in finding someone.

Still the same sentence, when the gourd was in his hands, he felt that he had used up all the luck in his life, so he didn't have to force anything else.

"Well, fortunately, this group of people are in the United States." Zhang Chi didn't continue to say anything, but looked at the crowd outside, and suddenly said this.

"What does it mean to be lucky in America?" said Melika.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "There is no need to invite them to dinner. If you are in China, the host must be polite at this time. What are you talking about? Let's have a meal at home so late."

When he said this, Zhang Chi deliberately squeezed his voice, using a woman's demeanor and tone.

Seeing her husband playing tricks, Melika laughed again.

"Okay, okay, just eat whatever you want," Zhang Chi continued.

"Look, I was almost blackmailed by these guys for another meal," Zhang Chi said.

Hahaha!
Melika smiled and stretched out her finger to Zhang Chi: "You, sometimes your words are really annoying."

After speaking, Melika turned and went back to the room.

Zhang Chi followed behind and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Stir-fry beef with sharp pepper, and cook tofu soup with green vegetables. You can make the rest of the dishes vegetarian," Melika said.

Hearing his wife's words, Zhang Chi took action here.

Washing rice and cooking, waiting for the rice to cook, the ranchers and cowboys outside also began to leave Zhangchi Ranch one after another.

The green peppers were cut, and the slightly frozen beef was cut into slices, and the ingredients were marinated for a while. Zhang Chi was preparing to stir-fry vegetables. He saw Lao Xu coming in with a smile, and a bottle of wine in his hand.

The wine is old and the packaging on the bottle is a little brownish. It was not a good wine back then, and it cost about a few cents a bottle.

But now, three or four bottles of Moutai can’t be exchanged for a few cents a bottle of wine at that time, the ordinary wine that the public drank.

In addition, the wine at that time was just wine, and there was no high-tech and hard work. The wine at that time was all brewed from pure grains, and even small wineries in the county town would not have any vain things.

"Get a few more dishes today, let's drink it!"

Lao Xu came to Zhang Chi's side and put the wine on the table.

Zhang Chi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Just one bottle is enough for anyone to drink, you know my wife can drink it."

Old Xu glanced at Zhang Chi: "It's hard to find a bottle of this wine now. You think I have a lot. If I don't drink enough of this wine, I still have Yanghe and Tanggou."

"As long as you have it, go to the refrigerator and have a look. I will make anything you want to eat in it. If there is no one, I have nothing to do," Zhang Chi said.

Old Xu opened the refrigerator door to look, and opened his mouth and said, "How can there be no fish on such a festive day today? How about I go to the pond to catch a fish?"

"If you go to catch it in the pond, it's better to go to the town and buy one. How easy is it to catch this black light?" Zhang Chi said.

The fish in the pond on the ranch are very delicate and not easy to catch, so Lao Xu said he would catch fish, but Zhang Chi didn't have much hope for him.

Lao Xu thought about it, weighed the pros and cons between eating fish and starting to buy fish, and finally decided to suppress his desire to eat fish.

"Forget it, let's have scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I said that you have almost no seafood in the refrigerator. Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the whole small octopus or something to store in your refrigerator...".

"It's different after making a fortune, and the tone is a lot louder," Zhang Chi joked.

After hearing this, Lao Xu laughed heck.

He didn't make any excuses, and the facts didn't allow him to say anything. Everyone could see that Lao Xu was very flamboyant now, and he didn't want to beat him.

After ordering two dishes, I took them out of the refrigerator. Lao Xu helped to clean them, and left Zhang Chi to cook. As for cutting, Lao Xu doesn’t have Zhang Chi’s ability. No tricks, knife skills?Yes and no.

Zhang Chi was cooking here, and Lao Xu babbled for a while, then went out of the house, and when he came back, he had two more iron plates in his hand.

This is something from the dining car on the construction site. It is much easier to use this thing than porcelain.

There were six marinated rabbit heads on one plate, and on the other plate, it looked like a plate of dried chilies at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were still small pieces of meat.

"Is everything done?"

Old Xu smiled and put the two plates on the table, then rubbed his hands: "Of course, don't you see how long it's been, we washed and peeled this thing early in the morning, and it's still not edible , when can I eat it?"

After finishing speaking, Lao Xu continued to say to Zhang Chi: "Sister Lu is really amazing at making this thing."

Zhang Chi laughed and said, "Which Aunt Lu is not a must?"

Sometimes, Zhang Chi really admires Aunt Lu and Uncle Chen. They are both so old, but they are no slower than young people in learning new things. Aunt Lu is good at cooking.

The only downside is that the memory is a bit bad when you get older, but Aunt Lu also has a solution here. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Every time a dish is successfully cooked, the old lady will write down the process and attach her own Takeaways.

When you do it again next time, take out your little book and flip through it, and you will know how to do it.

Two rabbit dishes were served, and Zhang Chi's cooking was almost done.

After putting the dishes on the table, the three of them sat around the table.

After opening the wine, the wine divider divided the one-jin bottle of liquor into three portions.

Old Xu raised his glass: "Thank you two for today's matter, I will do it first as a respect."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zhang Chi and his wife knew that Lao Xu was happy, so they also drank half of the cup.

After drinking, we started to eat food.

Zhang Chi first picked up a piece of rabbit meat, tasted it and then put down his chopsticks. He said it was not bad, but it was of a medium level, and it was not much different from making it with beef.

Oh, it can't be said that there is no big difference. The fiber of beef is thicker, but the pork is not like this.

The rabbit's head is really marinated in place, which is quite outstanding.

Melika couldn't put it down. As an American, she was more open to trying Chinese food than Zhang Chi.

We chatted and talked about cattle.

Old Xu asked the two of them, "What price do you think you can get for this cow tomorrow?"

"Who knows?"

Zhang Chi laughed.

You can't ask anyone to guess accurately about things like auctions, but according to Zhang Chi's estimation, this herd of cattle can make Lao Xu at least [-] to [-] yuan.

"Forget it, it's all for nothing," Lao Xu figured it out, he laughed twice and said to himself.

"That's right, it's all for nothing." Zhang Chi clinked a glass with him.

"Old Zhang, you are familiar with the terrain here, I think you should go to the forest to look for it," said Old Xu.

"Are you interested too?" Zhang Chi asked.

Old Xu said: "I really want to, but I just want to go in this situation, so I need someone to guide me."

Old Xu wasn't dazzled, he knew he knew nothing about the wild things, if he really ran into the wild forest because of these cows, he would be courting death.

The forests here are very primitive. One is because the mountains are too complex, but this forest was hardly touched during the development of the western United States.

There are small towns like Amber on the flatter mountains, but the steeper the mountains, the more people there are. Once you enter, the kind of trees that block the sun can cover the sun.

For a person like him who has no field experience, if he goes in, he can only call for help or wait to die. Although these mountains are in the United States, it is strange that a few brave people don’t die in this place a year.

"I think you should go, you will definitely find a big herd of cattle!" Old Xu said
