77. The good life
Barnes went and picked him a spiny gourd, added honey and ice to it and handed it to him.
As he drank the juice, Barnes asked, "Has anyone bothered you?"
"What's the trouble?" Yang Shubao subconsciously asked.
"Your land is the land you bought, but you shouldn't have bought it, it's been favored by some people. Remember the first time we met, I reminded you to be careful? Just watch out for these people. ”
"Iron Beast?" Yang Shubao immediately understood what he meant.
Barnes nodded, "yes, did they trouble you?"
Yang Shubao said: "Sort of, you used the means of hanging corpses in the sky to scare me, and then there was no follow-up." By the way, how do you know this? The Iron Beast Boss seems to be quite secretive about my piece of land?"
Barnes nodded again, "Yes, but I have a friend who wants to buy that land, and someone warned us." ”
Yang Shubao said: "There are no outsiders here, is the friend you are talking about yourself?"
Barnes shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in expanding the farm, so I'm satisfied." ”
Seeing his stunned appearance, Yang Shubao stopped teasing, and Barnes stopped taking the initiative to speak, turned around and teased the dog.
The wise and enlightened pastor is no worse than the golden retriever, and this pastor is playing happily with Barnes, and the intelligence displayed makes Barnes stunned.
He played for a while, and the dog suddenly raised his head: "I almost forgot about the big thing." ”
Yang Shubao was watching a rooster chasing a hen outside, and he was startled by a sentence that he had no brains: "Huh?"
"If the Iron Beast deals with you, you go to the thrift market in Hluchluwe and find a guy named Sharktooth, he is the boss of the Dinosaur Gang, the Dinosaur Gang and the Iron Beast are mortal enemies, if you join the Dinosaur Gang, you may be able to escape, but they are not good birds, you have to be very careful when dealing with them. ”
Barnes said very seriously, Demu pulled his wrist with his paw to continue playing, he looked down at Demu's big face and immediately smiled, and played with it again.
The speaker had no intention of listening, and his words answered a doubt for Lao Yang: he had dealt with the shark-toothed dragon before, and the other party showed a good impression of him at the time, and he never understood the reason, but now he understands.
He remembered that the Sharkodont had asked him where he was from, and he said he was from a resort town, and then the Sharkodont suddenly became friendly to him, and that he would have known who he was, and that he had bought the land in the reserve and had made a feud with the Iron Beast.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, the shark-toothed dragon is obviously not as rough and bold as it appears on the outside, this man has thick and thin, Lao Yang is different, he only has thick but not fine.
Barnes left him for dinner, and Liya put the milk into the storage tank and began to prepare the meal, but Yang Shubao didn't know it, and by the time he wanted to leave, it was too late, and a few dishes had already come out of the pot.
"You should try the mallow pudding and milk pie made by Lia, they are so delicious that you will feel the beauty of life after you eat them. Barnes said with his usual calmness.
Liya, who brought them coffee, pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this: "You also have to try our farmer's sausage, it is my husband's masterpiece." ”
The harmony shown by the husband and wife made Yang Shubao envious, and he said: "Then I have to stay, if I leave, I will miss a good life." ”
Barnes nodded: "That's the truth. ”
His response made Yang Shubao smile bitterly: "You are really a sincere person, man." ”
Barnes nodded again: "That's true, too. ”
The small farm entertained him with local delicacies, and when it was hot in the house, they went to the shade of the trees by the pond.
There was a large lamp hanging from the tree, and when night fell, the light came on and was very white.
Liya set up a three-legged iron pot, put firewood under the pot to ignite, there were vegetables, meat and soup in the pot, Yang Shubao looked at it and recognized the green basil leaves and mint leaves, Liya sprinkled a handful of cooked peanuts, and then began to stew indiscriminately.
This is a South African iron pot stew, which is exactly the same as the stew in his hometown.
Barnes was grilling sausages, the farmer's sausages that Lia had just said.
This kind of sausage is also filled with pig casing, but it is very long, one must be 80 centimeters, and then it is coiled and placed on the grill to roast, because it puts a lot of seasoning when it is filled, so there is no need to add condiments when grilling.
The sausages are made with plenty of ingredients, and they are fragrant when they are roasted on the fire.
Demu, who inherited the name of his predecessor 'Cheetah', squatted next to the grill and drooled, he was very sensible and didn't ask for anything, just looked up at Barnes, his eyes blinking in anticipation.
Barnes cut off a piece of sausage, hung it on a branch above his head, and when the temperature dropped, he took it off and handed it to Demu.
The dog rubbed the back of his hand with his head before taking the sausage, wagging his tail happily as he ate.
The iron pot stew quickly became steaming, and Liya came out with a plate of roast lamb chops, she took a few pieces of firewood, turned down the heat and said, "Yang, please take a seat, come and try the pudding I baked." ”
The pudding she refers to is mallow pudding, one of South Africa's most traditional desserts, with a plate topped with brown cream sauce and a cake underneath, cut into distinct layers.
Yang Shubao smiled: "Wait for Barnes to come along." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's a pre-dinner dessert, you can taste a little, maybe it's too sweet for you to stand it," Liya said. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shubao cut a piece and put it on a small plate, the upper layer of the pudding was fluffy, and the lower layer of cake was full of elasticity, he scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and suddenly, his taste buds jumped, and his whole mouth became sweet.
Chewing on the pudding, he couldn't help but exhale: "It's delicious, it's creamy, it's almonds, it's chocolate sauce, isn't it? ”
Seeing that his compliment came from the heart, Liya smiled: "Yes, Wang Yongle has some homemade cream and almonds to match, and a caramel textured sponge is added to enhance the taste, obviously I am not a failure in doing so." ”
"It's not just a failure, it's a success. Yang Shubao exaggerated.
The sausage was roasted, and Barnes used a sharp butcher's knife to cut it into several large pieces, which was no doubt more enjoyable to eat.
Liya also brought a large plate of milk pies, which were very delicately made, baked until browned and crispy, wrapped in dense refined milk, which would flow slowly outward after being cut.
Yang Shubao took a piece and took a bite, his mouth full of fragrance.
The dinner was full of the countryside of northern South Africa, especially the farmer's sausage, which is poured out with minced meat, and the bite is full of large meat cubes, which is very enjoyable.
The sausages were full of flavor, with hints of black pepper and cloves in the meaty aroma, and Barnes told him that he used not only these two spices, but also nutmeg, roasted coriander seeds, and sesame seeds.
Listening to him carefully, Liya teased: "It seems that you are very close to each other, and Barnes rarely talks so much at once." ”
Yang Shubao felt that it was not a matter of whether to fall in love or not, but the charm of the tree of life that allowed him to have some charm and the favor of those who could win.
Barnes said: "He's all the way to South Africa by himself, it's so pitiful, I think we should be nice to him, otherwise maybe he'll be depressed." ”
