The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 203 202. Lizards can make fried rice

To be honest, Lin Feng felt very disgusted when he saw lizard-like animals.

The one in front of me should be an American iguana. I have seen it in the wild once before. At that time, the iguana was lying on a wooden pile and basking in the sun, leisurely and leisurely.

However, iguanas are rare in Montana, which has a lot of deserts. There are many iguanas in places with abundant rainfall like Florida, and their numbers are so high that the government even spends real money to encourage their shooting.

Florida is such a magical place and a paradise for animals.

Crocodiles roam the streets and lizards are everywhere in the park. These are all caused by the beautiful natural environment.

In a place like Montana, not only are black people unwilling to come, but the animals are also intolerable.

Lin Feng was about to shoot him. He had heard from David before that American iguanas could carry salmonella.

Salmonella can be transmitted to humans through poor hygiene and can cause serious bacterial infections. Especially the elderly, children and people with weakened immune systems.

A bullet entered the belly, and the iguana began to flee.

At that time, my mother was busy working under the cucumber shelf. She raised her head and made eye contact with it. It must have been a sour feeling.

Not to mention my mother, even Lin Feng would tremble a bit when encountering this kind of thing.

"This thing looks so scary. How can any animal look like this?"

At this time, the intercom rang. It was David, asking what happened. Two gunshots were heard just now.

"Yes, it's the one we saw on Route 191 before. It looks exactly the same."

"But it has germs on it."

Lin Feng smiled and said that this thing was dead, and took Wayne to check the vegetable garden to make sure there was no second one.

Quickly hit it with an iron hoe several times.

Uncle David felt quite proud, he really regarded this thing as a treasure.

Don't you want to eat it?

Thinking of this, I felt sick to my stomach.

Lin Feng said: "I found an American iguana in my parents' vegetable garden and I just killed it."

Wayne rushed forward and took out the dead iguana. His mother was so frightened that he hid behind him, and even his father was frightened.

Then came the second shot, hitting the head, and now he was dead.

"BOSS, this thing has high nutritional value. It would be a pity to throw it away. It is better to burn it and eat it."

Mom started complaining, it really shocked her just now!

As a result, he guessed right. David rode over and looked at the iguana on the ground, his eyes shining brightly.

The uncle on the other end laughed, "BOSS, you haven't thrown away this dead lizard yet, have you? Leave it to me and I'll be there soon!"

"Wait, you mean the American iguana?" David seemed interested.

I don’t know what this old guy wants to do, but he should be very excited by the sound.

"There will be no problem once it's cooked. I believe you will fall in love with lizard meat fried rice. This kind of delicacy is not common in Montana and not everyone can eat it."

It seems that Helen won't be able to go today, so Lin Feng wants to see how he plans to deal with it.

Following him back to the far cabin, David said he would go inside and go to the kitchen to deal with it.

Lin Feng followed, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard Catherine's scream from inside!

"Throw it out! Now!"

This was the first time I heard Catherine lose such a temper, and it pales in comparison to before.

"Well, women always like to yell."

Then David moved a folding wooden table out of the house with a look of helplessness and began to dissect the lizard at the door.

Lin Feng watched from a distance, feeling disgusted but still curious.

There is a throat band under the lizard's mouth, which always bulges and bulges when breathing.

David made a cut with a knife and then tore it open with both hands. Lin Feng felt like he couldn't breathe, as if someone had ripped his throat open.

Then David used a knife to disembowel the iguana and cut a straight line from its neck to its tail.

Then he cut a few more knives on the limbs, trying to peel off the lizard skin, which was probably of some economic value and could be used to make leather goods.

I have to say that David was very skilled in his technique. In the end, he just pulled it off with his hands. Unfortunately, the tail section was broken off, but it was harmless and most of it was still intact.

He spread the leather to the other side of the table and showed it to Lin Feng.

The spines on the back are still there, and they look pretty good.

At this time Catherine came out, stood at the door with her arms folded, and covered her mouth with her hands.

Seeing David handling a bloody lizard, he immediately frowned and felt a surge in his stomach.

Charlie was driving back after finishing his day's work. He saw the two of them busy at the door of the cabin at the far end, so he came over to watch the fun.

The results are gratifying.

"It's normal for BOSS to have such a reaction, but what's wrong with you Charlie? You're also a pastoralist."

"What are you going to do, David, kill a lizard?"

"No, no, no, BOSS gave it a shot in the head. I just didn't want to waste this pile of meat and was going to make it into lizard meat fried rice."

Charlie was about to vomit when he heard the lizard meat fried rice. It seemed that not everyone could accept this "delicious food".

He quickly got in the car and prepared to drive home. Before leaving, he told Lin Feng that someone from the Beef Association would come over tomorrow morning to conduct a physical examination on the cattle.

This is very important and is equivalent to the first step in the entire process of selling cattle.

From raising to serving the table, there are more than a dozen complicated procedures, most of which are aimed at ranchers, on the grounds that they ensure the quality of the beef from the source.

"The texture of the meat is very similar to that of a tortoise or a sea turtle," David said as he cut it.

"Have you ever eaten turtles?" Lin Feng asked.

David looked up and smiled, "Of course, it's just that I didn't make it myself. I just had to sit and eat it. About four or five years ago, it wasn't that long ago."

It looks pretty good, the color and texture of the meat are both good.

Simply sauté olive oil and salt, then beat four eggs.

The lizard meat scrambled eggs were very fragrant. Lin Feng, who was hungry, actually had the urge to take a bite.

He quickly told his brain to be rational and think about the scene where he was lying on the cucumber stand before. Can he still eat it?

It wasn't over yet. David poured a small bowl of rice into it and stir-fried it.

"BOSS, do you have the urge to try it?"

Cunning David read his mind.

"No, no, no, I won't eat such disgusting things even if I starve to death."

Lin Feng resolutely resisted and stayed at his house just out of curiosity, wanting to see what that thing looked like on the dining table.

However, when a piece of fried rice with lizard meat and eggs was placed in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow.

After a moment, he gave a thumbs up and said, "It smells so damn delicious."

The meat is still very tender and tastes good, and the combination of eggs enhances the aroma.

And Catherine, although she frowned, she still ate.

Paired with a bottle of beer, it's quite enjoyable.

After returning home, my parents heard that they had made fried rice from the lizard in the vegetable garden. They were so shocked that they asked Lin Feng to brush his teeth quickly.

In fact, the taste is nothing too special, and you won’t miss the taste after eating it.

In any case, my life experience has gained a little more.
