Chapter 83 It's Snowing

Putting the donkey aside, Zhang Chi returned home thinking about what to eat at night, but Cannon didn't have any troubles in this regard. He made himself a salad at night, and it would be almost enough to eat with that kind of hard salad. The beating baguette and a piece of roasted chicken leg finished the dinner.

Zhang Chi didn't want to eat this stuff, especially the American-style grilled chicken legs. He felt like throwing up when he smelled it.

Back in the house, light up the fireplace first. Once the small fire comes on, put some firewood into it. After the fire is hot, the whole living room becomes warmer.

Pulling up a chair, Zhang Chi sat in front of the fireplace and continued thinking about what to eat tonight.

As soon as the room was warm, Ergou got into the room, leaned against the fireplace, licked his little paws, and started personal hygiene.

Daniel and Erhu will not enter the house because Zhang Chi won’t let him in. The dog is a pet dog, Zhang Chi raises a cattle dog, and Daniel and Erhu are now covered by a thick winter coat. Mao is not afraid of the cold at all, so the outside is the shelter for the two dogs.

"Do you want to eat you?"

Zhang Chi said to Ergou.

Meow!Meow!Meow!
Ergou stood up cursing, walked to the other corner of the fireplace and lay down, continuing to do his work.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chi got up and went to the kitchen without deciding what to eat.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhang Chi saw the leftover rice from last night, and then he remembered that he still had this thing here.

I cooked a lot of rice yesterday, mainly because Cannon didn’t eat it. Chinese food is okay for Cannon to eat once or twice, but if you let him eat it every day, he can’t stand it. You must find a chance to eat that kind of dry food The bread, which is like an iron stick, is difficult to bite, but he just likes it.

Many Internet celebrities abroad have been committed to promoting Chinese food. Of course, why they don’t make videos for foreigners to watch, but upload domestic short videos instead.
We all know the reason, listen to a foreigner: Chinese food is awesome! Delicious!
This is the traffic password.

Zhang Chi didn't mean to force Cannon to change. Everyone should not be restrained, and no one should judge each other's food. This is a kind of basic respect.

With rice, Zhang Chi thought for a while, then took out a piece of veal from the refrigerator, some green beans, two eggs, and along the way, picked two small shallots from the basin on the balcony.

Rinse the shallots in the water a few times, and the microwave made a ding.

The veal melted, and Zhang Chi cut the veal into minced diced meat, put it in a bowl, added a little base flavor, and marinated it with some salt and pepper.

Frozen green beans are added with a little warm water, and slowly wait for them to thaw by themselves.

Zhang Chi was preparing to cook when his cell phone rang suddenly.

I walked over to pick up the phone and saw that it was Simmons calling.

"Hello, this is George," Zhang Chi said.

"Hi, George, I'm Simmons" the old man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Chi asked: "Hello, I heard it. What's the matter?"

Zhang Chi asked knowingly, what could be the reason why Simmons called. He must have thought about it for a while and felt that those donkeys were not very easy to sell for a while, so he decided to sell them to himself.

Sure enough, Simmons on the other end asked: "Do you still want those donkeys? I accept the price of two hundred dollars."

Zhang Chi didn't want it at first, but after thinking about it, two hundred dollars is not a bad price. Killing and eating meat is more than two hundred dollars.

Why do people have to feel bad about money? Isn't that stupid.

"Yes," Zhang Chi said.

"Then come over later," Simmons said.

"I'll be there right away," Zhang Chi said.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain to find Cannon.

Cannon is now in the cowshed. All the cows are spending the night in the cowshed. Cannon works very hard. He has to get up several times every night to feed the cows. During the day, his job is to shovel cow dung. In short, it is a pasture now Early busy time.

"Come on, Simmons' donkey is sold!" Zhang Chi yelled at Cannon who was working in the cowshed.

Cannon smiled and replied: "Simmons is really a donkey. He didn't sell it at the time, but now he sells it again. It seems that the price he gave is lower."

Apart from Zhang Chi, there is no one here who would want these donkeys. Besides Zhang Chi, of course there is another choice, that is second-hand dealers, but the price they offer will not be much higher than Zhang Chi's. Besides, Simmons doesn't have time to spend with second-hand dealers now, so Simmons and his wife thought about it, and finally decided to sell it to Zhang Chi. First, it saves worry, and second, it doesn't need to go to the bank to cash the check.

"Whatever the price they give, we'll talk about it after getting a few donkeys back," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Cannon happily went to the stable at Xitou, harnessed his horse, rode on the horse, and followed Zhang Chi to the Simmons house along the horse path.

When I arrived at Simmons' house, I found that the Simmons couple and several familiar ranchers and cowboys were helping to pack their luggage.

It looks like the couple are going to leave tonight.

"George".

"Mrs. Simmons" Zhang Chi responded with a smile, then took out two hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Simmons.

Mrs. Simmons took the ticket and said to Zhang Chi, "Those donkeys are yours now."

Zhang Chi smiled.

"If you need anything else, take it yourself." Mrs. Simmons pointed to the things on the ground.

There are quite a lot of things on the ground, and almost half of the things that were taken out in the afternoon have not been sold, and the most are those small appliances.

But Zhang Chi was not interested at all, so Cannon picked a few pieces when he arrived.

"Leave today?"

Zhang Chi and Simmons became polite.

"Leave tonight, the new owner will come tomorrow," Simmons said.

There was no longing for Florida in the words, but full of reluctance, and he kept looking at the ranch while talking.

Zhang Chi can understand the feelings of Simmons and his wife at this moment. Anyone who leaves the place where he has lived for decades will feel reluctant to part with it.

There is no way for the old couple, because they are old now, and the income of the ranch has not been very good these years, it is better to sell the ranch and find a warm place to retire.

The proceeds from the sale of a ranch were enough for the old couple to buy a small farm in a warmer place to enjoy themselves.

Zhang Chi and him had nothing to talk about, as long as they looked at their ages, Zhang Chi and Cannon drove the donkey home with a few small appliances that Cannon picked.

The donkey is not very easy to drive, there are many things along the way, and sometimes the whip is not very effective, or there is a word called a stubborn donkey.

Zhang Chi and Cannon could only drive around leisurely, making the donkeys feel comfortable.

As soon as we got out of the horse path, we arrived at the gate of the ranch when snowflakes began to float in the sky.

"The snow has finally come down"

Cannon stretched out his hand, caught a snowflake, watched it disappear instantly in his hand, and said to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi hummed: "Yes, after holding back for several days, the first snow of this year finally came down."

Two days ago, the weather forecast said that there would be snow, and there was no movement for several days. The sky was always gloomy, and it looked like I was going to snow, but there was no snowflakes falling. Finally decided to snow today.

The two drove the donkey into the pasture.

"Do you want to send it to the cowshed?" Zhang Chi asked looking at the donkeys.

Cannon thought for a while: "Forget it, throw them outside tonight, it's okay, it's only a few months, and it's not the coldest time yet."

Zhang Chi asked: "When the snow falls, it will be cold tonight."

"Wild donkeys can resist, don't worry about them," Cannon said with a smile.

If there was Cannon, Zhang Chi rode on Chiyan Mountain and went back to the cowshed with Cannon. Chiyan Mountain was placed in the stable, and Zhang Chi went directly to his house.

I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I continued with the previous work, and Zhang Chi made fried rice.

After the rice was fried, he made himself a cabbage tofu soup. When it was ready, Zhang Chi took a bottle of hot sauce and sat down at the table to enjoy his dinner.

Putting the phone on the table and setting it up, Zhang Chi ate while watching the video.

The spoon picked up a mouthful of fried rice, and was about to eat it when he suddenly saw his mobile phone ringing.

Looking at the phone number, Zhang Chi was still a little confused, because it said unknown.

Pressed the phone and continued to watch the video, but before he retracted his hand, the phone rang again.

"Who?"

Zhang Chi still answered the phone.

"George, it's me"

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed familiar, but Zhang Chi really didn't know who it was.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Chi asked.

"I'm Miller."

The speaker saw that Zhang Chi still didn't seem to remember who he was, so he continued.

"I am Miller, son of Serior."

Now Zhang Chi finally remembered that this is Serior's second son.

"is there anything?"

Zhang Chi asked after a few polite sentences.

Zhang Chi and Miller don't have a lot of intersection, not to mention Miller, and Serior can be regarded as a casual acquaintance, but it's better than meeting and saying hello, and it's really not that good as a friend.

"Excuse me, do you have... have... have..."

After a long time, Zhang Chi didn't know what was going on, and Zhang Chi became a little anxious after hearing it.

"What do you need? Speak slowly." Zhang Chi motioned the boy to speak slowly.

"It is to treat children's cough, sugar water."

Having said that, Zhang Chi understands that what this guy wants is cough syrup, which Zhang Chi has at home, not only Zhang Chi has it, but many Chinese families have this stuff on hand. In addition, there is Radix Banlangen, Needless to say, everyone knows the reason.

"What do you want this thing for?" Zhang Chi asked.

Miller said: "Yang has been coughing for a week, and the doctor prescribed some medicine, but he is still coughing and rinsing. I was chatting with a friend just now, and he said let me try this kind of sugar water. He said that many Asians have it. These, I want to buy online, but it will take more than a week to receive the items... ".

Yang is Miller's son, and he is about four or five years old this year. This Yang is different from the domestic Yang. This Yang means young, not a surname.

Xiao Yang was sick, coughing and rinsing for several days, the doctor said nothing happened, but the parents couldn't bear to see their son coughing and rinsing non-stop.

"I have it at home, come and get it," Zhang Chi said.
