On the way back, Zeng Gong shot a few hares with crossbow arrows on the pickup, adding game to the noon dinner, plus Zeng Gong asked Sanders to prepare Uzhumuqin sheep and Angus cattle, this time the ingredients are not abundant, Zeng Gong believes that this time it will be a gathering of guests and friends.

The rain moistened the earth, the grass became more lush, green, thriving, people felt that these grasses were more vigorous, driving back to the villa, Zeng Gong found that the door was full of cars, with a little apology, Zeng Gong took the prepared ingredients from the car and entered the villa.

"Zeng, I really envy you guy, what a good rain. Hoffman saw Zeng Gong walking in from outside with Wade, and shouted at Zeng Gong with a face.

"Uh. Zeng Gong looked at Hoffman in amazement, not knowing what kind of nerves this guy was having today, so he had to follow his meaning and said: "That's right, this rain is really timely, I believe that this year's grass growth is definitely better than last year's, and we have to celebrate this timely rain." ”

Unexpectedly, Hoffman's head shook like a rattle, and he said with some distress: "Once, our ranch was not as lucky as you, but now our ranch is shining, according to experts, Montana may continue to be dry this year, and you will have to sell us some water rights then." ”

As soon as Hoffman's words fell, it immediately resonated with other ranchers, the continuous drought in Montana, they had to increase irrigation, which made the operating costs of the past two years much higher, and even some ranchers have begun to prepare to sell their ranches, although it is heartbreaking to see more and more ranches being converted into vacation ranches by wealthy people from the East and California, but in the face of increasing debt, the ranch has been overwhelmed and has to sell the ranch.

"Zeng, don't you know that it's raining on your ranch in the whole of Park County. The other ranches don't see any rain at all, because we're neighbors, and it's raining on about forty or fifty acres of my ranch. Qiao looked at Zeng Gong's puzzled look and explained with a wry smile.

"Only Qinglian Ranch has rained?" Although Zeng Gong knew that his ranch had begun to have its own unique microclimate group, which was completely independent of other places, he did not expect such a complete change.

Looking at the other ranchers nodded earnestly. Zeng Gong asked a little strangely, "What the hell is going on here?"

It's a pity that no one answered, all of them are big and coarse, and they have been dealing with ranches all their lives, and only a small number of ranchers who have completed high school will not understand these scientific theories at all.

After a few words of greeting with these ranchers, Zeng Gong rushed into the kitchen with the ingredients and Alice, and found that many ingredients had been processed, just waiting for Zeng Gong's specific operation.

"Alice, are you making any of these?" Zeng Gong asked a little strangely, because Alice was learning to cook Chinese food with him after he was nearby. None of the others have the craft.

"Most of it was prepared by me, and these beef and lamb were made by these guys out there for Sanders, and you know that these ranchers are very good at slaughtering cattle and sheep, and they did what I told them to do. Alice nodded, although she didn't have a good grasp of the heat or anything now, she had learned to handle most of the ingredients.

Zeng Gong asked Alice to deal with the mushrooms, and he made a dish of Wuzhen braised mutton first. Although it is Uzhumuqin mutton, the two types of sheep can be said to be of the same origin. It has a similar taste, and the food source of the Wuzhumuqin sheep in the pasture is more abundant, thousands of plants constitute the plant community of Qinglian Ranch, and Chinese medicinal materials such as sand ginseng, licorice, mint and so on are the food in the mouths of these sheep, because under Qinglian Ranch is a huge huge magma area that is constantly moving, and countless springs bubbling out of Qinglian Ranch are rich in minerals. These springs nourish the Uzhumuqin sheep, and they are the best of the best.

The Wuzhen braised mutton made of Wuzhumuqin sheep can be said to complement each other, not only the mutton of Wuzhen, but also the secret mutton of the Tibetan book at this moment, in addition to the mutton. Beef is also indispensable, and there are even more delicacies, Zeng Gong can be said to have done his best, and one after another delicacies appeared in front of Alice.

Alice looked at the Chinese dishes born in Zeng Gong's hands, full of envy, although every time Zeng Gong cooked, he would show her his skills without reservation, but limited to the problem of talent, Alice has been making slow progress, only some solid basic skills.

Watching the delicacies born from his hands, Zeng Gong felt a burst of pride, opened the kitchen door, and a strong aroma suddenly spread to occupy the entire dining room, and even spread to the living room.

"It smells so good. Hoffman greedily inhaled the aroma that permeated the restaurant, and sincerely admired: "Zeng, your craft is really not good, even the chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant is just like this, but unfortunately your Chinese food is too troublesome to make, so I can only come to you to eat." ”

"Hehe, if you think it's delicious, you can eat more and try the bamboo wine I brewed. Zeng Gong smiled and took out a bamboo wine jug, for every rancher poured it full, and the fragrance of bamboo immediately diffused, so that these old drunkards couldn't help but shine in their eyes.

"Is this a wine made from bamboo?" Hoffman asked curiously, he only knew Moutai and Wuliangye for Chinese wine, and he really didn't know how to make wine from bamboo.

"Hoffman, this wine is not made of bamboo, but the Chinese liquor is poured into the live bamboo, naturally grown, naturally sealed, full of bamboo essence, fresh bamboo wine full of natural bamboo juice, bamboo leaf polysaccharides, bamboo leaf flavonoids, bamboo leaf antioxidants, selenium, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, a variety of vitamins and amino acids and other active ingredients, making Chinese liquor more mellow, I just tasted it in the bamboo forest, the taste is very good. "There is no need for Zeng Gong to introduce him, Wade, who is sitting next to him, is now learning and selling.

I thought that there was no communication with these rude ranchers, but this Mr. Hoffman, as a good father, would always promote some parenting scriptures, but I didn't expect to hit it off with Wade at first sight, and the two of them had a very happy conversation, seeing his puzzled look, Wade hurriedly explained.

Hoffman picked up his wine glass and took a sip gently, the fresh and elegant taste echoed between his lips and teeth, and the mellow but not spicy bamboo wine conquered his heart at once.

"Good wine. Hoffman couldn't help but howl. (To be continued.) )
