Chapter 57: The Stress of Life
The beef and mutton produced by this ranch are indeed relatively tender, and they taste very good when grilled, which is better than what Gu Mu used to eat.
Of course, there is also a reason that the ranch brought him the most essential part, and a cow can't pull a few catties of meat from it, and it is also very intimately cut into slices of meat about two millimeters, which is not very thin, affecting the taste, and is not very thick and not easy to cook.
After baking, it tastes very good.
In particular, this is grilled by yourself, and it feels even more different.
Sitting under the shade trees by this small lake, eating a piece of roasted beef, drinking a sip of cold beer, and feeling the cool breeze blowing, it is very refreshing.
"Don't you want to try it?" Gu Mu asked Chi Yan.
Chi Yan Yan originally said that he would not eat it, but seeing that Gu Mu ate it very fragrantly, and smelling the smell was also very tempting, he couldn't help it, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile when he heard it:
"I do feel a little hungry, so let's eat a little bit – just a little bit. ”
However, after tasting this wonderful taste, I can't stop.
It's not that she hasn't eaten good things, as the person Wang Yongyuan has appreciated the most in recent years, following Wang Yongyuan, she has eaten all kinds of good things.
It's just that she hasn't tried to make her own food, and there is a great sense of accomplishment in it.
Many foodies fall in love with cooking by themselves while eating, and this is also the reason.
At first, she ate cautiously, but after eating two slices of meat, she changed her mind.
Because Gu Mu was bewitching her:
"You don't have to worry about it, you won't get fat if you eat once in a while, you see that Su Qi and I eat so much every day, and we don't get fat. ”
Chi Rouge was very moved.
She often hears such statements, and it doesn't make her feel that it makes sense, but at this time, under the temptation of food, this statement becomes very reasonable.
Su Qi also helped on the side, saying: "You won't get fat by eating these things, at most, you will do a little more exercise after eating, and you will burn off the calories." ”
"If you do exercise, you have to eat a lot, otherwise you won't have the strength to exercise. Gu Mu said.
Chi Yanyan hesitated and said, "Then I'll eat more." ”
Gu Mu said again: "And you don't find it, people who are too thin generally don't have good skin, and they have a vegetable complexion, so they have to rely on makeup to look healthy." You see, compared to Su Qi, your skin is much worse. ”
Su Qi shook her arms with a smile, her skin was indeed very white and tender.
Of course, this white and tender skin does not become white and tender by eating too much, the main thing is that she takes good care.
Chi Rouge believed it.
Although she feels that she looks better in clothes when she is thinner, she will look ugly when her skin is poor.
Gu Mu said again: "You can eat with confidence, you are so thin, what about indulging once in a while? This is to supplement your body with nutrients, and you can't grow meat." In life, I always tighten that string, how boring is it? ”
"Well, just this once. Chi Yan said.
Beef, which is worth hundreds of yuan a catty, does taste different when grilled.
The fish that were caught, Gu Mu didn't know what kind of fish they were, anyway, they tasted very fragrant after being roasted.
Chi Rouge quickly liked the feeling.
In a barbecue, the taste is not very important, the important thing is the fun of DIY.
What's more, the taste is not bad.
Eating and eating, Chi Rouge completely let go of his embrace, no longer thinking about whether he would make himself fat, as long as he felt delicious, he continued to eat.
She even drank two beers.
Gu Mu even asked her to call and inform the people on the ranch to send some more ingredients.
For example, lamb kidneys, and bullwhips.
However, Chi Yanyan was only willing to let the sheep kidneys be sent over there, and she couldn't say anything about the bullwhip, so she ignored it, but called for a few more handfuls of cold beer.
This time for DIY barbecue, the three of them ate six or seven catties of mutton and beef, as well as a few fish they caught, and a few lamb kidneys.
Everyone drank a few of beer.
I started eating at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon and ate until dusk.
"It's a good life like this," Chi Yanyan was already full, sat on the chair, and said with emotion, "Since I was in elementary school, I have been busy all these years. When I was studying, I had to study hard, and I had to be in the top three of the whole grade at the very least, until I left school and entered the company, I was busy and never enjoyed life. Even when I have an occasional break, I don't know what to do with that time. When you think about it, it's a little sad. ”
"You can't live like this, sooner or later you will collapse. Gu Mu said, "You should let yourself relax, you don't need to be so tired to be a man, we are people, not machines." ”
"It's not okay if you're not so tired," Chi Yanyan said with a sigh, "When I was a child, my family was poor, and my parents owed a lot of debts in order to provide for me to study. At that time, I set an ambition that when I grow up, I must work hard to make money, make a lot of money, and earn until I don't have to work for a lifetime. It's still so far from that goal, how can you stop?"
"It doesn't cost much, right?" Gu Mu said.
"My parents are such a daughter as me, it is not easy to give them a rich life, after they came to the United States, they are all temporary workers, and they have not paid any social security, and I need to pay for medical expenses and pension expenses in the future, which is also the first big expenditure. ”
Speaking of these, Chi Yanyan rubbed his temples with some pain and said: "Although the chairman has offered me a high salary, and the annual income is more than 100,000 US dollars, it is not easy for people of my age. However, with this kind of income, it will take many years to achieve financial freedom. ”
Gu Mu calculated the exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB, and thought: "That is, an annual salary of one million, knowing that it is only per capita, it is not a high salary." ”
In fact, it is very rare for Chi Yanyan to get such a high salary at this age in the United States.
The annual income of hundreds of thousands of dollars is the income after taxes.
But it is really not easy to achieve financial freedom by relying on salary income alone, especially since she has only been looking for a job for a few years.
was able to buy a big house for her parents, but it also relied on the fact that the housing prices in the United States were not so high.
But the cost of living in Mi is higher than in China, so she does have a lot of pressure.
