pasture leisure

Chapter 41

"Try it and see if it suits your appetite."

Zhang Chi handed a pair of chopsticks to Farmer Kan, motioning him to try the two dishes he made.

Nowadays, there are many people who know how to use chopsticks. Chinese food or improved Chinese food has become very popular. Chinese food may be the only choice for many families to eat out during holidays, so many Americans have no problem using chopsticks.

Cannon picked up the chopsticks and touched them professionally on the table. He leveled the two chopsticks before stretching out the chopsticks.

He hesitated between the two dishes, and finally stretched his chopsticks towards the braised beef offal.

"I like spicy dishes, this one looks good."

As he spoke, Cannon picked up a chopstick of tripe and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then repeatedly said yes to Zhang Chi.

"This is……".

"I know, it's tripe," Cannon explained to Zhang Chi after he finished speaking.

Zhang Chi is still surprised that Cannon can accurately name this part, but it is really normal for Cannon. Their hometown is poor, otherwise they would not have come to the United States to work illegally.

Some meat in poor places is already considered good, but you still have to choose parts?

what are you thinking!Not only eat the offal of the cow, but even other parts will not be lost. The tripe is very common.

Zhang Chi didn't have much curiosity either, seeing that he had nothing to do with eating tripe, he didn't ask any more questions, and stretched out his chopsticks to motion to Cannon for him to try the grilled fish again.

Cannon tasted it and thought the taste of the grilled fish was okay, but he quickly fell in love with the various side dishes in the fish.

He said he has seen potatoes and onions for his own use, but he has never seen Chinese parsley, vermicelli, and lotus root slices.

"What is this? I like the taste very much."

Picking up a piece of parsley, Cannon asked Zhang Chi.

"celery!"

"Impossible, celery doesn't taste like this." Cannon shook his head, put the celery on the chopsticks to his mouth, and ate it happily.

There is also celery in the United States, but it is parsley, like celery, but the taste is very bland, and it is usually mixed with salads, and its effect is similar to that of domestic parsley.

The celery that Zhang Chi uses to make grilled fish is an authentic Chinese variety, with small stems and a strong flavor. In Zhang Chi’s hometown, this kind of celery is called Yaoqin. Not to mention ordinary foreigners, some Chinese people don’t like the strong taste.

"This is Chinese celery, which has a stronger taste. If you like it, I will bring you a bundle later," Zhang Chi said.

After speaking, I saw Cannon preparing to drink.

"Do you drink red wine?"

Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said, "Wouldn't red wine go with your meal?"

"If you want to drink, you can open it. I can drink beer. Eating this grilled fish and drinking beer is the standard for us Chinese. Drink red wine to taste," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Hearing what Zhang Chi said, Cannon put down the red wine he brought and said with a smile, "Then I'll have beer too, Chinese beer?"

Zhang Chi shook his head: "No!"

Not buying Chinese beer is not because there are no Chinese supermarkets, but because a lot of domestic beer is industrial beer.

If you are used to drinking brewed beer, it is difficult for people to get used to the taste of industrial beer without the aroma of grain.

After opening two bottles of beer, the two blew directly into the bottles.

Zhang Chi is also very satisfied with his craftsmanship today. The grilled fish is quite good. The skin of the fish is burnt yellow, which looks burnt but not mushy. It doesn't collapse at all, it has a little toughness, and there is a slight burnt aroma after the entrance, which completely covers the fishy smell.

After the burnt aroma is the aroma, the aroma of the side dishes, the salty freshness wrapped in a layer of soup, the delicate taste and the fatness of the river fish, this guy is paired with a sip of beer, the taste is really amazing.

The cooking of braised beef offal is so-so, because the ingredients are already semi-finished products, but for a foodie, the aroma of beef offal is mixed with spicy and spicy, and it is still full of big pots, most of which are half of beef offal and half of soup. In China, no restaurant will burn it for you like this.

The portion is so generous and the taste is not bad, it is hard to ask for more.

The two chatted while eating, and soon the topic came to the ranch, which is not surprising. How many common topics can a rancher and a cowboy have in common? What else can they talk about besides the ranch?
Cannon can't talk about girls. Cannon can almost be Zhang Chi's father. If the two of them talk about girls with such an age difference, who will open their mouths?

"I finally know why you bought so many cows," Cannon said.

Zhang Chi was taken aback when he heard this, and thought: You know?I don't even know how you know?
I thought so in my heart, but there was no expression on Zhang Chi's face, just a faint smile.

If Zhang Wu must know that his cousin is going to install coins, it's a pity that Cannon is not Zhang Wu, and he doesn't know Zhang Chi well enough.

Cannon said: "I didn't expect the grass in this small pasture to be so good."

"Okay?" Zhang Chi was really a little puzzled now. He had sprinkled water, but where did the pasture come from? My house is still full of big weeds.

Cannon didn't know what Zhang Chi was thinking. He got a little excited when he mentioned the pasture, stood up and took two steps, bent down and pulled a few grass leaves back to the table.

When Zhang Chi saw the grass in Cannon's hand, he felt that the grass was a bit like the dog's tail grass in his hometown, except that the small spikes on it were not fluffy, and the spikes were not only small, but also a little bald. A few seeds.

"You try it!"

Cannon grabbed a leaf from the grass stem in his hand and handed it to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi was taken aback for a moment, then took the leaf, gently tore off a small piece from the leaf, and put it in his mouth.

Slightly bitter, with a bit of astringent feeling, it is a bit like the little bitter green in China. Zhang Chi doesn't know what the scientific name of this dish is, anyway, people in his hometown call it little bitter green.

Thinking of Xiaokuqing, Zhang Chi's mouth is a little watery, Xiaokuqing roasted tofu, a simple dish, with the fragrance of tofu in the bitterness... that feeling!

Uh, back on topic.

"It's a bit bitter, and a little astringent. Is there anything special about it?"

As a novice rancher, Zhang Chi asked Cannon for advice based on the principle of knowing what he didn't know.

Cannon said: "Cows like this kind of grass very much. Have you noticed that the big beard grass you have here grows very thick and the leaves are also very thick. This growth is already considered an excellent pasture. You are really lucky. Others say that there are weeds growing on this small pasture, but I don’t see where there are weeds, this is a piece of fat pasture.”

Zhang Chi did not expect such an evaluation. Although he watered the gourd water, he did not expect that the grass would grow into the good pasture that Cannon said.

Looking at the half-grass leaves in his hand, Zhang Chi was a little dazed, unable to digest the news at once.

Cannon doesn’t know much about this ranch. He has never been to the original Lion Ranch. Even if he has been a cowboy, it must have been at least a few years ago. The previous rancher was rich, and he was not I run a ranch professionally, so I didn't spend much time on the ranch.

I seldom come to the ranch, let alone a land like Zhang Chi, which was originally a corner.He doesn't come often, so the cowboy and the manager know where to save time.

The people next to it are even less, this is someone else's place, and it is illegal for them to come in, so the result is that everyone knows that this pasture is biased and the grass is not good, but the big guy has never seen what it is.

"Is it really that good?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "It's very good. Of course it can't compare to those pastures with excellent irrigation equipment, but as far as traditional pastures are concerned, your pasture is already very good. If you let others see it like this, it's really not what you get at the current price." It came down. Now this ranch is going to be sold, and the price will be at least [-]% more.”

Kanmin also came last time, but just took a look at the flowers, and the grass hasn't grown much yet.

Now Cannon feels that Zhang Chi has picked up a big leak. There is such a good pasture on the pasture that no one is optimistic about.

For the ranch, good pasture is based on the foundation. With such pasture, Zhang Chi, a rancher, saves a lot of effort.

After being told by Cannon, Zhang Chi had to take a closer look at his ranch.

Zhang Chi didn’t know much about pastures. He was originally a layman. What he knew were alfalfa and ryegrass, but he was blind to other grasses.

Standing up and looking aside, Zhang Chi finally saw something wrong, that is, the messy weeds on the pasture were gone, and if he didn't look carefully, he was surrounded by the big beard grass that Cannon said.

Zhang Chi couldn't figure it out, why it was like this in just a few days.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Once Zhang Chi’s gourd is watered, all the grass in the pasture will start to grow. But when it comes to grass, there are always highs and lows, which are determined by genes. It is impossible for a gourd to turn grass into wheat.

If it grows at the same time for a certain period of time, then it must grow fast and benefit from growing taller, because this kind of grass can occupy a higher space and enjoy enough sunlight.

The sunlight is taken up by the tall grass, so the short grass will naturally not grow.

How do they continue to grow without light?

This is the same as the growth of a forest. In the same wild forest, you find that the trees are almost the same height. It is because the short trees are blocked from the sun and cannot grow.

The same is true for grass, although only for a few days, the gourd pulp has accelerated this evolution, and the short grass cannot carry out photosynthesis without sunlight and is eliminated.

Why didn't this kind of weeding happen before? It's because the climate here is cold and the grass grows slowly. Waiting for the big beard to grow taller, this autumn will come. As soon as the short grass is covered, the big beard will grow by itself. Huang Faku is ready for winter.

Therefore, this elimination cannot be completed under natural conditions.

But Zhang Chi came with a gourd, which directly led to this acceleration, and the short grass was naturally eliminated. Now the big beard grass has become the most important pasture in the entire pasture.

"I really didn't see it!"

Back at the table, Zhang Chi said.

Cannon said: "You are really lucky! If this news gets out, those who bet on you that you can't escape this year will be disappointed."

"It can't be counted."

Zhang Chi decided to give full play to the modesty of our Chinese people and leave things like praise to others.

"Good luck!"

Cannon is really envious of Zhang Chi's luck. The price of this kind of ranch is so low that it is easy to hit shit luck.
