Chapter Ninety-Five: Mary
[The little short legs that appeared with Leo in the previous chapter have been slightly modified, and the next chapter will appear.] [Latest chapter reading.]]
On the long wooden table, Ji An looked around, all the people who came to celebrate Mary's birthday today were young people, and the oldest was no more than 30 years old, which made him a little strange.
There were three barbecue grills nearby, and soon after the two of them sat down, the first batch of sausages, meatloaf, steaks, and skewers with vegetables such as red, yellow and green peppers were served. Some people eat barbecue directly with beer, and some people are used to eating barbecue with bread, Mary specially divided a thick steak for Ji An and Lu Xiaoming, it is said that these two pieces of meat are the most tender parts of the cow, and one cow produces these two pieces.
The steak is 7 minutes cooked, and there is a little blood when it is cut, Ji An is not afraid at all, he uses a fork to fork up the beef pieces with a little fat and send them into his mouth, his teeth are not very hard, the meat juice blooms, and the satiating beef flavor fills his mouth and nose instantly, which means that it melts in his mouth.
This may be a little tiresome for the Chinese girls with light tastes, but for the two carnivores Ji An and Lu Xiaoming, the happiness full of happiness is simply no one.
The second wave of barbecue was roasting on the barbecue, and the black brother named Ryan, who had been scolded by Old John, saw that the meat was almost hot, sprayed wine, and raised the false flame of alcohol burning, he closed the lid of the barbecue grill, smoldered for a while, the false flame was extinguished, and a puff of white smoke leaked out from the gap in the lid.
Ji An came to the farm because of the old corgi's task, and Lu Xiaoming saw that Ji An was coming, so he came with him, and neither of them thought much about it, thinking that they were just having a meal.
But Mary really wanted to repay them, and if it weren't for them, Old John would have been in danger yesterday.
"Is it enough? Mary came over and asked.
Bean sprouts waved his hand and said no, picking up a bunch of grilled vegetables. Ji An had never eaten such tender beef, and said that he wanted another piece.
At this time, the oldest, close to 30 years old, Hank, who had a beard, opened a bottle of beer for Ji An, who shook his head and said that he didn't drink, only drinks.
Hank: "It's a pity, it's such a good beef with beer. Then he handed him Sprite.
Mary sat down next to the two of them, and they learned that Ji An had only been in the United States for a month, and Lu Xiaoming was an international student at the Southern California Institute of Technology.
"You're also at the Southern California Institute of Technology, aren't you classmates with Tina and Chris?" said the old lady.
Tina: "Yes, Andy and I met on the second day of school. ”
Mary smiled: "In the future, when I have time, I will come to the farm to get some meat and vegetables back, and I am always welcome." Don't be embarrassed, you saved John. ”
Lu Xiaoming was in a daze, and Ji An was busy thanking Mary. unintentionally inserted willows to save an old man, but he didn't expect to solve the problem of eating bean sprouts by mistake. Moreover, Ji An's own two missions can also be carried out on the farm.
Mary tapped the beer bottle with a fork to attract everyone's attention and announced: "From today onwards, two young friends from China will also join us at John's Farm, everyone is welcome~"
Most of the people who had watched the video on Mary's phone yesterday toasted the two warmly.
At this moment, she saw several neighbors from the town approaching with gifts, and Mary got up to greet her.
"Andy, you and your friends can come to the farm if you want to have nothing to do, can you ride horses? Mary usually teaches the town children equestrianism, if not, you can also come and learn it, no money. ”
Ji An was very interested, and Lu Xiaoming asked, "How did you meet Mary?"
Tina gestured to a table of young people and said, "We are all children sponsored by Mary, some of us have gone to college, and some of us have started working. I usually come to the farm to help when I have time.
The oldest among us, and the first to know Mary, was Hank, who, despite working in Silicon Valley, drove back to the farm in three days and two days, as before. ”
Ji An was stunned, and suddenly understood that it was not Old John who was popular in the town, and it was not him who was popular among these young people, but Mary, who had silver hair and was a little short and fat.
Although it is the same task, in comparison, giving Mary a good dog makes Ji An feel much more comfortable. Moreover, as long as there is this dog in the future, Lu Xiaoming will not be disliked when he comes to receive meat and vegetables for free.
Now the question is where to find a dog, any dog can be, the king never picks the children.
"Wang~" came from behind the fat tiger's roar.
The little fat man was thirsty, so he ran to Ji An to ask for water to drink, and Leo was also next to him.
Ji An found two paper cups on the table, filled them with water, and put them on the ground.
After drinking it for a while, Ji An rubbed their heads separately. Old John, who had been sulking and not talking much, sat alone on the chaise longue at the door of the big house, smoking a pipe and summoning Leo to come over.
Ji An thought for a while, and called the fat tiger to walk towards the old man together.
Leo lay down next to the recliner, and when he saw Ji An who had snatched his bonus, the old man looked unhappy, but his mouth was not cheap, like a child who had not grown up, he turned his head angrily and showed the back of his head.
Ji An deliberately pulled hatred: "Actually, you don't have to feel ashamed, there are two things in the world, probably no one can win me." One is fishing, the other is dog training. ”
"Who says they can't win you?!" said old John, who had fished all his life.
Ji An: "Okay, we can try it now, at the same time, throw the rod together at the same position, and see who the fish bites." ”
The old man blew his beard and glared at Ji An, but he was helpless against him, he had already tried it the day before yesterday, but he couldn't really catch him.
Ji An continued: "I heard that you want to use the bonus to buy Mary a good sheepdog?"
"What's your business?" said old John.
Ji An: "Didn't you just say that? I'm as good at dog training as I am at fishing." I can't pay you back, but I can give Mary a orange town...... No, the best shepherd dog in all of California. The premise is that you find a dog for me. ”
Of course the old man didn't believe it.
Ji An held up the ugly face of the fat tiger who had just been on the news of the United States, and said to the old man: "Do you know it?"
Old John: "Why do I know it?"
Ji An said, think about it, Fat Tiger just showed his face on the news, and he really couldn't recognize it if he didn't pay careful attention.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the pasture where the sheep were grazing, and there were 60 sheep in total, all scattered around the grass with their heads bowed and mawing grass.
It's almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to drive the sheep back to the circle, Ji An raised his eyebrows, and said to Old John: "Do you want to win back 2,500 dollars?
Pointing to the fat tiger, Ji An continued: "Before the sun sets today, I can teach it to shepherd sheep." ”
After a while, Old John smiled so much that his garlic nose turned red, opened the gate, and let Ji An and Fat Tiger in.
Every flock had a leader, and the leader of Old John's house was a particularly irritable ram.
