Chapter 71, Beef from the Pasture
Li Ya said with a smile: "The private money will be handed over to you soon, and you will have to use it when you go to the United States." "Take the lid and cover the bucket, take down the other three empty buckets, Li Ya carried them up the mountain with two hands on one side and one on the other.
Soon filled two buckets and brought them down, Shu Yue helped close the lid and asked Li Ya: "Is it hot, do you want to rest for a while?"
Li Ya shook his head and said, "There is only one bucket, it will be fine in a while." "Since it's already like this, even if you take a break and do it again, it's just as hot, so it's better to finish it and go back.
For more than ten minutes, Li Ya came down with the last bucket. After putting it away, he took off the glove hood, took off the thick cotton coat, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so cool." ”
Shu Yue saw the sweat on Li Ya's face, wiped it for Li Ya, and said, "It's so hot, you didn't rest for a while just now." ”
Li Ya smiled: "It's hot at this time, and the sun is bigger and hotter after a while." Go, go home. It's cooler to blow the wind in the car. ”
got into the car, Shu Yue turned a corner and drove back and forth. While driving, he said to Li Ya: "It's too hot, come back in the evening." ”
"Of course, coming back at night, in such weather, it is really uncomfortable to wear thick cotton clothes. Li Ya said as he blew the wind, stretching his hand out of the window, feeling the feeling of the wind blowing.
Shu Yue said: "It would be nice to have a tape recorder, and you can listen to songs while driving." Why don't you sing one?"
Li Ya said complacently: "It turns out that you also appreciate my singing, so I said that I have a good voice, it seems that I can become a singer." I thought, what are you singing?"
"I chose the song for you, Teresa Teng's "The Moon Represents My Heart". When I returned to China this time, I missed Teresa Teng's concert. Shu Yue said.
"Teresa Teng's concert, when will it happen?" asked Li Ya, but he didn't hear any news.
Shu Yue glanced at Li Ya, dissatisfied with his attitude of not caring about everything: "The concert tour that started in April is available in Toronto and Vancouver. ”
"Oooh. At this time, Teresa Teng should have come to the United States to avoid the limelight because of the fake passport incident, and studied by the way. In the United States, she also met Jackie Chan, who was also in the United States, and the two also had a relationship. "Next time, next time I have the opportunity to go to her concert. "The Moon Represents My Heart" Hehe, I can sing.
You ask me how much I love you,
How much do I love you?
My love is true,
My love is true,
The moon represents my heart.
A gentle kiss,
has touched my heart,
A deep love,
Teach me to miss it to this day.
You ask me how much I love you,
How much do I love you?
Think about it,
You go and take a look,
The moon represents my heart.
……
How?"
Shu Yue listened, feeling quite reluctant, but the gap was really obvious, and said: "It's not good, it doesn't sound right." ”
Li Ya said helplessly: "There are many people who have sung this song before, but none of them are popular, they are still professional singers, let alone me." It wasn't until Teresa Teng's cover that this song became popular. ”
"Is this song Teresa Teng's cover of someone else? I don't know yet. Shu Yue said, "You know a lot." His eyes drifted over Li Ya, with an inexplicable meaning.
"Well, it's so-so, I saw it casually. Li Ya said, this is what Li Ya knew in his previous life. At that time, there were too many original songs and covers, and you had to pick and download the songs, some of them were good at the original songs, and they were covered by others, and some were not very good at the original songs, but the covers were popular. The song "The Moon Represents My Heart" is still popular in later generations, and it should be said that Teresa Teng's songs have always been popular. When Li Ya searched for downloaded songs, he found that Teresa Teng was not the original singer. Every dick and silk has a stuffy and sassy heart, and Li Ya also has a lot of love songs.
When he arrived at the door, Li Ya asked Shu Yue to stop the car and said, "I'll go to the lake for a few laps first." After saying that, he got out of the car and walked to the dock.
Li Ya walked to the dock and took off the short sleeves on his body, leaving only a big pants. Jumping and diagonally into the water. The water here is shallow, so you can't dive like a diver, otherwise you will get planted in the mud.
Li Ya has no professional training, he has only heard the name of butterfly breaststroke freestyle, and he is good at dog planing, hand planing and foot pedals, and splashing water.
After swimming for a while, Li Ya caught two big fish, returned to the dock, put his clothes on his shoulders, and walked home with the fish.
When he got home, Li Ya put the fish in a basin, scooped two scoops of water into it, and raised it first. Seeing Li Ya doing this, Shu Yue asked, "Why don't you kill it and raise it?"
Li Ya said with a smile: "Brother Guo, they will leave before dawn, I calculate that they will come back at eleven or twelve o'clock, wait for them to come back, and try to cook with beef." Cook more, and they come back and eat together. ”
Shu Yue smiled: "It's already cooked, plus they are definitely not enough, do you want to cook a pot again?"
"Well, boil another pot. ”
Divide the honey, pack it, and after eleven o'clock, Guo Yuhua and they came back. As soon as the car stopped, Li Ya walked over, looked at the two big boxes in the carriage, and said, "Packed in boxes, no, it's such a hot day, I'm afraid it already stinks." ”
Guo Yuhua drove the door down and said with a smile: "No, there is a wooden box outside, there is a layer of foam inside, there are broken ice cubes, and there is a lot of shade on the road, it must be fine." ”
"If there's something to do, just open it and see. Come, carry it down first. Li Ya said and climbed into the car.
Guo Yuhua opened the carriage door and climbed up, and the two of them worked hard to slide the box to the side of the door, and Uncle Zhang followed a few and put it aside, and the same was true for the second box.
Open a chest, the ice cubes melt a little, but the meat is fine. Li Ya looked at the cross-section of the beef and said, "Yes, it's still marbled." ”
Guo Yuhua said with a smile: "It's really good, the slaughterhouse owners are amazed, saying that the proportion of marbled meat in our cattle is higher than that of other cattle farms." You don't know, there was a rancher who was there at the time, and his eyes were red when the meat came out, and he asked me about the breeding technique. I said that he still didn't believe it, and asked for the address and planned to come and inspect it in person. ”
"Our technology is like that, others may not be able to use it after learning it, anyway, our technology is not secret. Li Ya said. Of course, technology is not secret, and what really works is unknown to others, only Li Ya knows. Even if others completely copy the method of the ranch, they will not raise it very well, which Li Ya is absolutely confident in.
"Okay, the family is divided into twenty catties, and it's not easy to keep it if it's more, and it will be killed later, and eat fresh when it's time." The rest of Brother Guo took some back, and relatives at home also sent some. We also took some of them to Shu Yue's house, and they haven't tasted the beef from our ranch yet. Li Ya began to divide the meat.
Taking a knife and cutting off a piece, Li Ya carried it and said, "I'll go to cook first, you all come over after you have divided the meat and haven't eaten, and you will cook until you come back." ”
Guo Yuhua After they finished dividing the meat, a large piece of the rest was moved over, Li Ya looked at it and said, "Divide it into several pieces and put it in the refrigerator." It seems that you have to move the refrigerator with you when you leave. ”
The meat over there is divided and put in the refrigerator, and the dish here is almost ready, so you can wash your hands and eat.
Steak Li Ya can't do it, or Shu Yue saves the scene.
Sitting down to eat, Li Ya first cut a piece of steak to try, it was very tender and the taste was okay. said: "This steak is such a tall thing, it doesn't seem to be very good, it's just a little tender." The sauced beef also tastes good and is chewy. ”
Guo Yuhua said with a smile: "Westerners like tender meat when they eat it, unlike us Chinese who like chewy food." After tasting a piece of steak, he said, "It's really good, it's medium-rare, and Westerners like to eat it like it's medium-rare, so it's more tender." Our beef, for sure, is a hit. ”
Li Ya said: "I think this is raw meat when I eat it, and it is still seven or eight cooked, and Ru Mao drinks blood?"
Uncle Chen and the others also tasted it, and said one after another: "I'm not used to it." ”
Li Ya asked Guo Yuhua: "How is the slaughterhouse owner, does he get a commission or what?"
Guo Yuhua said with a smile: "That boss has a lot of channels, and after seeing our beef, he decided to take a commission, so that he can not only make a profit, but also consolidate his relationship with customers." ”
Li Ya nodded and said, "That's fine, so as not to run around with great effort." ”
After eating, I packed up and was about to leave, bringing a lot of things with me as usual. Shu Yue looked at what Li Ya had packed in the trunk of the pickup truck, and finally knew why her mother was satisfied with Li Ya.
