pasture leisure

Chapter 290

Old Xu came to ask Kannon for a favor, and after Kannon agreed, he was ready to leave.

When he was about to turn around, he glanced suddenly and saw a sheep sitting under Zhang Chi's buttocks. At first, he thought he was dazzled, who had nothing to do sitting on a sheep, this thing is not delicious.

Hey, it still smells good when you eat meat, but let’s forget about it normally, no matter how clean the sheep pen is, it can’t get rid of the foul smell on these guys.

"What are you doing? You're so foreign now, you don't sit on haystacks, and you've changed your career to be a live sheep?" Old Xu said to Zhang Chi, and then he wanted to leave.

At this time, it is different from other days. It will rain soon, and the construction has reached a critical time. Many walls have been raised up, and they have not yet been roofed. Didn’t the rain soak the inside? This is not true. It's a small trouble, because the house is all made of wood. If it gets water, the house will be repaired in the future, so now he is in a hurry to prepare to work on the roof.

"Don't go, eat sheep at noon!" Zhang Chi stopped Lao Xu.

Old Xu didn't even think about it: "Today is not possible. You can eat sheep and call me, but I really don't have time to help you deal with sheep. Also, I will eat stewed noodles at noon today. The stewed noodles made by Sister Lu Very good".

"I'll go, Aunt Lu is almost becoming a country cook here, she can do everything," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Old Xu hummed, and immediately ran out of the stable.

Zhang Chi wanted to stop Lao Xu, but he didn't know why he was called to stop him, to eat mutton?Zhang Chi is called Lao Xu when he just eats and returns his turn?

The main reason is that Zhang Chi doesn't want to take care of the sheep today, so he stopped Lao Xu, and Zhang Chi has something to do today, and he will go shopping in the city soon.

Cannon saw the appearance of his boss and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone eats mutton almost, and a bowl of noodles beats mutton."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhang Chi was a little emotional.

But this fact is quite normal, here is the west, there are not many things, but there are a lot of cattle and sheep, beef and mutton are also cheap, but the price of vegetables is more expensive than other places, especially the vegetables that we Chinese often eat.

At the beginning, Zhang Chi had unlimited supply of beef, and Lao Xu was embarrassed, so he went to buy some sheep and pigs from time to time and came back to eat with him.

Meat is boring even if you eat it often, so Lao Xu later bought vegetables and cooked them the way we Chinese do.

But after a few days of doing it, Lao Xu realized that it was no good. The price was too high, so he couldn't pay for it every day.

Lao Xu gets all his vegetables from Aunt Phil, who is in business and makes a living by selling vegetables.

She doesn't care about people like Zhang Chi who have nothing to do to gather some wool or something, but Aunt Phil will definitely not do it if dozens of people like Lao Xu work together, and the vegetables are sold cheaply, because her vegetables If someone wants it, why discount the price to Lao Xu.

Even if Aunt Phil was willing, Lao Xu would be embarrassed, why would he accept such a big favor for no reason.

So most of the time, the food on the construction site is Western food. The beef and mutton are either roasted or fried, and then served with potatoes and broccoli.

The cost of food has only come down.

Zhang Chi thought for a while, stood up from the sheep, stretched his leg and kicked the sheep's butt: "Today is your luck, if... hehe!"

As he said that, Zhang Chi untied the sheep's hooves.

As soon as the little lamb got out of the bondage, he immediately jumped out of sight.

Zhang Chi drove to the city for a trip, and when he was waiting to return, he found that Melika had brought the two cowboys back to the ranch.

Zhang Chi also knew the two of them, both of whom were bachelors in their thirties. Bachelors are not uncommon in the denim industry. With so little money, it was difficult to support themselves, let alone raise a family. Xianshui grew up and didn't need to eat. They also have emotions and desires, so they naturally also look at men's economic foundation.

We met and chatted for a few words. As a BOSS, Zhang Chi naturally didn't need to care too much about the feelings of these two as before, so he just threw it to Cannon.

At noon, everyone ate braised noodles.

Aunt Lu's cooking skills are good, and Zhang Chi has never eaten normal stewed noodles anyway, so as long as the taste is not difficult to swallow, Zhang Chi thinks it is good, not to mention that Aunt Lu's cooking is quite delicious.

Especially the small potato dices in the marinade are quite well done. It is not hard even if it is hard. The taste in the mouth is very unique, and the distribution of hard and waxy is very clever.

The young couple Zhang Chi and Melika ate more than a catty of noodles with brine, and almost two noodles each went into their stomachs.

As for the workers, that's not to mention, a whole bucket of brine and several buckets of noodles were scooped up by the workers and a few cowboys from Zhangchi Ranch within half an hour.

The new cowboy came to the bucket with a bowl, stretched his head to look at the brine bucket, and then looked at the noodle bucket, and found that the bottom was dry, so he left a little disappointed.

"Jack, are you still eating?"

The companion who came with me felt that Jack was a bit worthless. Although this food is delicious, but you have already eaten three bowls, and if you still eat it, you are not afraid of spoiling your stomach?

Talking about his companion, this man couldn't help standing up, holding the bowl in one hand, and turned his belt with the other hand. The belts of cowboys are slightly wider than ordinary belts.

There was no pressure at all when talking about people, but I forgot that I ate one more bowl than Jack.

After eating it in my throat, I am ashamed to talk about others.

Now that I ate too much, when I squatted again, I felt a little weak, so this guy came out and pulled his belt.

After pulling the belt, I wanted to sit down again, but I thought it would be better to stand.

"I'll go take a look," Jack said casually.

He really wanted to eat another bowl, the cowboys' food, not necessarily pig food, but it was the same every day, and all the cowboys in the Colorado ranch were tired of eating it.

Those few dishes have been eaten for many years, do you think people who eat them want to go crazy?
I want to improve the food. Sorry, the cafeteria in the ranch is not your hotel. You can order food. If you want to eat something special, you can only go out to eat.

Jack and the two just came here today, and they thought they were eating steaks or something, but who would have thought that they had nothing to do with steaks at all, and they were actually eating Chinese noodles.

Before I ate it, I was curious about the taste of this Chinese noodle, but when I scooped it into a bowl, and Ms. Lu took a spoonful of marinade in his bowl, Jack fell in love, thinking that this thing is much more delicious than spaghetti went.

Sucking and sucking, sitting with everyone, and everyone didn't have a formal place, so I sat wherever it was convenient for me, holding the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, just like that.

After the first bowl, Jack wanted to eat a clove of garlic like some Chinese, but after he took a bite, he gave up this stupid idea, he really couldn't get used to the taste of raw garlic.

After dinner, the two got together.

Although the two are not social phobias, they are naturally a little restrained in the new environment. At this time, Cannon and Zhang Chi are counting items, and Brian is working with the workers. The two newcomers I don't know what to do.

However, they are people with sharp eyesight. After a while, the two of them started to help the workers with some chores. As soon as the work started, everyone naturally became more and more enthusiastic.

In the evening, the sun was about to set, and it was time to eat. At night, we still ate the stewed noodles at noon.

Jack and the two were very happy to shake off their cheeks and eat.

When it was time to finish eating, seeing the workers starting to work again, the two naturally wanted to help.

But it was strange for the two of them to get off work together, because the construction workers they met were all masters who got off work when the time came, and you would not be able to stay for a while, why are these Chinese people so diligent?

When it was past eight o'clock, Lao Xu came over and asked Jack to rest.

Old Xu not only let them rest, but also gave them some money. This is the rule. Here, whether you hire someone to work or hire a friend to work, you have to count the money. Others don’t need it, but you It is impossible not to give.

Old Xu obviously didn't intend to take advantage of the two of them.

"It's okay, we're okay".

Jack took the money and said that he was fine and could continue to work.

Lao Xu is short of manpower here, otherwise he can ask Cannon and Brian to come over to help. Hearing this, he immediately arranged for them to continue working.

In the middle of the night, we started eating again.

It's still noodles!
Immediately, the workers were not as enthusiastic as the previous two meals, but Jack and the two ate happily, and felt that the meal of the boss's messy ranch was really good, at least much better than the ranch where he worked.

Zhang Chi didn't eat another meal of braised noodles, and he couldn't bear to eat the same thing three times in a row, so he went home, stewed a pot of tomato beef brisket, and then poured it on rice to fill his stomach.

Back to the construction site to continue working.

When the last beam was put in place, it was already past two o'clock at night.

It took another half an hour to spread the rain cloth and compact it.

Just as everyone was about to leave after finishing their work, the little cool breeze had already risen.

At this time, the cool wind blew on people's faces, and it was still a little prickly.

When the wind blows, the sky darkens. It was originally a dark sky, but now it seems that there is no light or shadow.

Following the breeze, the raindrops fell, making a crisp patter on the awning behind him.

Seeing the rain falling, Lao Xu stretched out his hand to catch it, feeling the raindrops falling on the palm of his hand.

"Fortunately, the work is done, if you delay it, there will be some troubles." Old Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He has a lot of work on hand now, and the time is tight, it is impossible to procrastinate on Zhang Chi's project, and now he has finally regained a little bit of time in Xiao Yu's hands.

Zhang Chi said: "Don't be too nervous, I don't have a problem with delaying it for a week."

Old Xu said: "I can't delay Guan Jian, that's enough, there is no problem now, go back and have a good sleep."

Zhang Chi looked at the light rain above his head, hoping that it would fall faster, so that he could enter the mountain earlier.
