The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 99 99. Hot pot feast

"Son, let the girl come to our house for dinner. Is our house far away?"

Lin Feng asked Jasmine for her opinion in English, and she readily agreed.

"Honey, please drive back and change clothes. I'll wait for you outside the police station."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he switched to Chinese and told his parents the news. He also had his own little plan.

If it's too late, just invite Jasmine to stay the night. Maybe something nice will happen again.

Of course, this time I have to call Hans Grando personally to ask for his opinion, and at least report it. I still have to give him the face he deserves.

Arrive at the door of the police station and stop the car.

Mom asked: "How is Simin's family doing? What are her parents' jobs?"

Lin Feng laughed out loud, "Mom, my surname is not Jia, my full name is Jasmine Grando, and my surname is Grando. When translated into Chinese, it means Jasmine."

The news broadcast that my father watched all year round came in handy. "Foreigners have their first names first and last names last. You don't understand this?"

Mom rolled her eyes at Dad, ignored him, and continued to inquire about the situation at Jia Simin's house.

Lin Feng told them the truth.

"Her father is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and now runs the family ranch. Her mother should help at home and has no specific job."

"Air Force Lieutenant Colonel?" Dad sat forward.

Lin Feng nodded, "Find time for us to meet each other. Don't be too stressed. We are all ordinary people."

My mother said: "He is not an ordinary person. He is a lieutenant colonel and a policeman. How can we compare with him?"

Lin Feng knew what his mother meant and was worried about making the same mistake as before.

But this time he was very confident and reassured his mother.

Jia Simin is different from Yingying. Besides, she now runs her own ranch and raises 300 cows, which can be considered a small success.

After a while, Jasmine came out and put on her white coat. Her long chestnut hair was blowing in the wind, which was quite stylish.

My mother was so happy that she waved to Jasmine and told her to get in the car quickly.

My mother kept her mouth busy along the way. At first she could communicate by herself, but later she felt tired and asked Lin Feng to act as an interpreter while driving.

The language barrier did not prevent the two from having a good chat.

During this period, Jasmine told Lin Feng that his mother was more enthusiastic and cheerful than she imagined.

It was already dark when they arrived at the ranch. The three Gouzi brothers saw the street lights and ran over to greet them. It was not because of the guests. Lin Feng would receive this kind of treatment every time he came home.

Seeing the joy of the three little guys made me feel much more relaxed no matter how tired I was.

"This is the guard team of my ranch. They are all adopted. They can look after the house and herd the cattle."

After Lin Feng opened the car door, Jasmine got out of the passenger car and helped her mother open the door, and helped her get out of the car.

My mother was flattered and said hurriedly: "Girl, no, no, no, aunt can leave by herself."

It was already getting late and it was difficult to see the entire ranch. Lin Feng planned to take the couple around on his own property tomorrow.

My parents were full of praise for the wooden villa, saying that it is called a house and it must be comfortable to live in.

"Uncle and aunt, you sit down first, I'll wash the fruits."

Jasmine was about to enter the kitchen, but her mother stopped her.

"Girl, you are a guest, just sit on the sofa and let my son do the work while we watch TV."

Mom waved her hand towards Lin Feng, meaning to hurry into the kitchen and get busy, everyone is waiting to eat!

Lin Feng could tell that he had forgotten his son after having a daughter-in-law.

"Son, why is the deer head hanging on the wall in your living room so realistic?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Dad, that deer head is real, a trophy I hunted outside."

Dad had a complicated expression, "Real product?"

"It's a real thing. If you like it, I'll hang it up in my mother's house tonight. Watch as much as you can."

Dad frowned, "Don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." "There is a wild forest to the east. If I have a chance, I will take you hunting. There are wild boars, wolves, and deer. There are a dozen wild boars heading towards us last time." Come on, the scene is absolutely spectacular.”

Dad gestured to the shape of a pistol, "Do you have this?"

Lin Feng shook the water on his hand, "Dad, I not only have this, but also that."

He went to the floor-to-ceiling window on the south side of the living room again, looking at this and that with his hands behind his back, curious about everything.

After a while, Lin Feng, who was busy in the kitchen, heard a "noisy" outside, so he put down his work and trotted out.

The two were found engaged in a fierce fight over a wallet.

It turned out that my mother wanted to give Jasmine a red envelope as a first meeting gift.

Jia Simin refused, but her mother insisted on giving it, and a tug-of-war began.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded, wondering where did you get the red envelope?

"My dear, please accept it. This is my mother's kindness and it is also our custom there."

Lin Feng smiled and said that Jia Simin couldn't resist it, so she reluctantly accepted it.

It was heavy and probably contained at least thirty or forty sheets.

After a while, when Jasmine went to the toilet, Lin Feng secretly asked her mother where she prepared the red envelope.

Mom smiled and said, "Your dad and I went to the hospital for dialysis the day before yesterday. I originally planned to give it to the doctor, but they refused to take it, so I put it in my bag. It will come in handy today."

She added, "Are you kidding your mother? You didn't tell her in advance that you had a girlfriend. You almost didn't even prepare a greeting gift for her. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass your mother?"

Lin Feng smiled and said no need, the United States is not interested in this, as long as it comes to his mind.

Mom waved her hand, "That's not okay. You can't treat me badly. What a good girl."

Mom looked at Jasmine with eyes full of love.

In her words, she has to have a good figure, good looks, a good personality, and a good family. Anyway, she is good in everything, but she feels that her son is not worthy of others.

When it was time to eat, Lin Feng called Uncle David.

David had a sense of propriety and said that this was a family dinner for the Lin family and it was not convenient for him to participate.

This is indeed the case. If David is also present, some things are inconvenient to say. Even if the language barrier is not clear, the couple will feel restrained, especially the father.

Lin Feng planned to organize a "ranch team building" in a few days, asking David and Charlie to bring their families and hold a big party at the ranch. It would not be too late to introduce his parents to them.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after finishing the dishes on the table, the hot pot feast officially began.

The ranch does not have gas access, so eating hot pot is a wise choice.

The temperature outside gradually dropped below zero, and the room was steaming.

There is no Chinese hotpot restaurant in Riverdale Town. Jasmine only had it once in Chinatown when she was in college, and she has never eaten it since.

Lin Feng thought of a business opportunity. Maybe it would be good to open a hot pot restaurant in the town. At least there would be no need to worry about beef and mutton.

The mutton used for the hot pot tonight came from his own ranch. During the day, Lin Feng entrusted Uncle David to slaughter one, leaving a leg of lamb and a large piece of meat for him. He was probably leisurely eating roasted leg of lamb and drinking wine in his room.

"Try the authentic American white goat meat tonight. I raise it myself. You can eat it with confidence." Lin Feng vowed.

My mother picked up a piece and put it in front of her nose and smelled it a few times. She said it was indeed good mutton and had a strong smell.

"Dad, do you drink?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Dad was a bit interested, and mom also relented.

A grown man in his early fifties lives a cautious life all day long, so he should relax once in a while, and tonight is of great significance.

The electric pot was sizzling with steam. The bright red mutton quickly turned gray after being rolled into the pot, and a rich aroma filled the entire living room.

"Son, let Xiao Min eat quickly."

Mom happily said that calling her "Xiao Min" has become a habit in the future. Jia Simin also likes this name very much and feels very friendly.
