Chapter 295 Night Camp
Howling!
Howling!
While the three of them were looking at the lake, two hisses came from behind them.

The three of Zhang Chi turned their heads and saw the two horses laden with things, neighing impatiently. It was obvious that the two horses were quite dissatisfied with the fact that they were carrying so many things on their backs, and they were still standing stupidly. Neighing tells humans: If you want to go, go, if you don't go, quickly take off the things on Lao Tzu's body!

"Camp?" Zhang Chi asked Cannon with a smile.

Cannon also happily replied to Zhang Chi: "Well, camp!"

Zhang Chi really didn't expect that the campsite tonight was actually here.

The scenery is beautiful. Zhang Chi has heard the word countless times since he was a child. Many scenic spots have used this word badly. Zhang Chi has been to some places.

To be honest, he really didn't feel that any place was really worthy of this beauty. Some places have good scenery, but there are too many people every time they go, and there are people's heads next to each other. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't stop it Live as a layman.

Cannon led everyone to move on.

The current Tao is quite easy to walk, at least many times easier than before.

Three people, five horses and two dogs lined up, and Cannon led the team until they arrived at the junction where a small river merged into a large lake.

This place is quite open, and the terrain is quite good. The most important thing is that the surrounding water plants are very lush, so you can easily feed the horses.

The place is very good, not only Cannon knows it, but some also know it, because here, Zhang Chi quickly found the traces left by others camping, a pile of fire pits that had been extinguished.

Cannon stood next to the fire pit, smiled and said to Zhang Chi: "We are here tonight, you don't need to dig this thing by ourselves, it is a good place."

"Okay, let's go here." Zhang Chi nodded.

Now that this is the case, everyone will start to unload the things, drag the horses that need to be put away, and tidy up the things that need to be tidied up. Of course, it is necessary to prepare a place to sleep.

Cannon and Brian didn't have so many things to do. They just used dry grass and leaves to spread on the open space next to the fire, and then put the sleeping bag on it, and then got into the sleeping bag when they went to sleep. The cold air is isolated from the sleeping bag, so there is no problem for them to sleep at night.

Zhang Chi couldn’t do it, actually it wasn’t too bad, Zhang Chi had to have some fun when he came out, so Zhang Chi found two nearby trees, took out his own hammock and tied it between the two trees.

After tying it up, he happily sat on it, shaking and shaking.

"Boss, are you going to sleep here tonight?" Brian asked with a smile when he saw Zhang Chi sitting on the hammock, looking pretty, after picking up firewood from the woods.

Zhang Chi said: "Why not?"

Brian smiled and said, "Okay, why not, but I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping."

"Is there someone who is not used to sleeping?" Zhang Chi couldn't believe it, and felt that Brian seemed to have underestimated himself.

Seeing Zhang Chi's stubborn mouth, Brian smiled, and didn't continue to comment on his BOSS's hammock. He put down the firewood in his hand, and then turned his head and went into the woods to look for firewood again.

Now we need to find more firewood, not only firewood is used for boiling water and cooking, but also firewood is used at night, lighting is one aspect, and another aspect is to prevent wild animals.

Beasts are quick to open fire, and the horror of forest fires is imprinted in the deepest part of their genes, so whether it is wolves, wild bears, or bobcats, they all have a natural fear of fire.

If you want to burn firewood all night, you obviously can’t find a branch like at noon. At this time, the firewood needs to be large, especially long and strong wood, so that the burning time of a piece of wood can be longer.

Zhang Chi tried his own hammock, and after Brian left, Cannon, with a logging ax strapped to his waist, came back to the camp. When he came back, he was dragging a tree stump behind him. Obviously, Cannon was here Prepare for camping at night camp.

"You want to sleep in a hammock?"

When Cannon came back, he asked Zhang Chi with a strange face.

Zhang Chi had no choice but to say again: "No?"

Cannon looked at Zhang Chi and said, "If you are not used to it, sleeping with this thing is not a pleasure."

Zhang Chi asked: "How bad can it be to enjoy?"

Cannon said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not as good as lying on the ground with a sleeping bag, but you can try it, and you can sleep back on the ground if you're not used to it."

Zhang Chi thinks that Cannon looks a little small. Thinking back then, it’s not the same, that is, a few years ago, our old Zhang didn’t suffer, and how many people stared at him. Didn’t our old Zhang resist it?

Just this small hammock can make you unbearable?cut!It's really looking at people through the cracks of the door, making people look down!

Where Cannon is free to grind his teeth with Zhang Chi now, he just said casually, and after expressing his thoughts, he started chopping firewood.

The tree trunk was already dead, so there was no water in it. Cannon's logging ax made a humming sound when it was chopped up, which sounded like a snare drum.

Zhang Chi can’t sit on the bed all the time, so he came down and fed the horse first. Feeding the horse doesn’t mean it’s like in the pasture, but now he needs to feed the horse some concentrate. To put it bluntly, it’s The food is oats. In addition to oats, each horse also has two raw eggs.

Just eating grass in the wild is not enough for wild horses. Don’t ask why wild horses can carry things so well. It’s because wild horses don’t need to carry things, but horses that go into the mountains must work. They are either carrying people or carrying materials, otherwise What do humans bring them into the mountains for fun?
In addition to these, Zhang Chi also secretly scattered some grasses grown in gourds among the bushes, so that the horses could eat better, almost making them almost the same as when they stayed in the pasture.

Smelling the delicious aroma of grass, the horses all fell silent, lowered their heads and gnawed on the grass, for fear that they would miss a bite, and others would eat their own share while they were in a daze.

Seeing the horse chewing, Zhang Chi clapped his hands, and then reached out to pat Chiyanshan's neck. As Zhang Chi's mount, Chiyanshan's treatment was naturally different. Zhang Chi was so hungry It is impossible for others to starve it, so Zhang Chi touched a few small apples and fed them to Chiyan Mountain while sneaking on the road. Now Chiyan Mountain is not too happy to eat the weeds by the lake.

Just kidding about it, Zhang Chi said to Cannon and Brian, "I'll make it for you if you want to eat tonight!"

After Cannon thought for a moment, he said, "Whatever."

Brian said, "Why don't you make rice and stew chicken? Potato stewed chicken."

"Do you want to eat chicken?" Zhang Chi asked.

"We brought one here. I'm afraid that if I don't eat it, I might not be able to keep it tomorrow," Brian said with a smile.

Zhang Chi wondered, "You actually brought a chicken?"

Brian took the chicken out at this point.

A chicken was wrapped in a plastic bag. It wasn't a chicken from Zhang Chi Ranch, but the kind of chicken raised by Lao Mei here. It wasn't too big, but it grew fast and had a lot of meat.

The only downside is that it doesn't taste good!
Generally speaking, the meat of things that grow fast is not very delicious, just like leeks in the south. They are big and have a lot of water, but they don't have the same flavor as leeks.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought it was a chicken he raised, but who knew that Brian actually took a chicken sold in the market.

"Fine!"

Originally, Zhang Chi didn't want to do it, but after all the words were spoken, Brian's family took out the materials again, so it was a bit unreasonable not to do it.

Fortunately, although Zhang Chi is not a cook, he was quite thoughtful in preparing for this trip. He fumbled around in his luggage, took out a kitchen knife and a chopping board, and started chopping chicken.

Zhang Chi would not want chicken heads, chicken feet, etc., he would just chop them off and throw them to Daniu and Erhu.

The chicken was chopped into small pieces, slightly bigger than mahjong. First, I scooped up some water, and then Zhang Chi poured the chicken into a small hanging pot, added some oil and fried it, and then greeted it with soy sauce or something. Boil with the filtered stream water.

As for the rice, Brian can cook it himself, not only can he cook it, but he didn't learn from Zhang Chi how to cook rice in the wild.

But there is one thing that makes Zhang Chi very dissatisfied. These Americans never wash the rice when cooking rice.

Having said it a few times, both Brian and Cannon have almost changed it, but sometimes they still forget that the rice eaten by their boss must be washed with water a few times, and the white pulp water in the rice is almost gone. That's good.

The two of them sometimes couldn't figure it out, why would they need to use water to wash the rice even though the rice produced by the machine was clean?
To be honest, Zhang Chi didn't know why, he only knew that when his mother taught him how to cook when he was a child, this rice must be cleaned.

It may be that the rice in the past was crushed with a roller, and there were many impurities in it, and there were probably small stones, unlike the current machine, when it came out, it was white and fine grain.

The rice in the pot was simmering, the chicken in the hanging pot was also simmering, and the potatoes on the hob were also put in at this time. The aroma of the chicken soon wafted along the breeze to the surroundings.

Wild animals with sharp noses may have smelled the smell from the air, but experienced hunters will not follow the smell, because they know that this smell must come from humans, and humans , is their true natural enemy.

The sun had completely set, and the crescent moon took over the sky at this time. Although it was a borrowed light, the crescent moon still illuminated the earth.

Like now Zhang Chi can see far away, but the vision at this moment is divided into two colors, gray and silver, with distinct layers and clear boundaries.

Suddenly, a sentence jumped out of Zhang Chi's mind at this moment: This is it, don't hesitate, what a wonderful place, it's a pity not to let the cattle out.

At this time, Zhang Chi also felt deeply.
