"Damn, I must not have woken up, go back and sleep again. Zeng Gong got up in the morning and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and went out of the door to see that the ranch had undergone earth-shaking changes, although yesterday's grass was also green and grassy, pleasing to the eye, but compared with today, it was simply weak, and the babbling baby and the sturdy young man were simply incomparable.
Damn, this space is too powerful, but thinking about the gunshot wound that he got better in the blink of an eye, Zeng Gong was a little relieved, he originally thought it was just space water, if it had to wait for a while, I didn't expect such a big change to happen overnight, fortunately Sanders didn't come, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess I would have made, it seems that you have to be careful when using space water in the future, quietly enter the village, don't shoot.
After calming down, Zeng Gong began to open the posture to practice, which is different from the three-body pose, Tai Chi pile gong and other pile exercises, but a particularly strange posture, Zeng Gong called it the mixed yuan pile, which is a new type of pile gong that he summed up based on years of practice. Since he was a child, he has been learning Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Bajiquan, Xingyi Boxing, Lost Trace Boxing, Tongbei Boxing, Xinyi Liuhe Boxing, etc., but unfortunately in this era of rampant firearms, Guoshu has long had no living space, which made Zeng Gong feel a little useless as a hero.
After practicing and washing up simply, Zeng Gong drove to Jack's car to round Sanders and a few people, and began to make a big purchase around the whole town, Zeng Gong felt that the money in his pocket disappeared, but fortunately, after some purchases, the originally empty ranch became rich.
"It's such a good pasture. When the three old men came to the ranch, they were immediately attracted by the grass in the pasture, and Sanders even squatted down to pluck one off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.
"It's a really well-developed root system. Sanders shook his head helplessly: the leaves of the grass seem to be wider and thicker than ordinary grass, and there is plenty of water. Sanders pinched it lightly, and the juice in the grass flowed.
"Mr. Zeng, this pasture seems to be a bit miscellaneous, except for ice grass, sharp thatch grass and other common pastures in the American prairie, there are many things we have not seen. Davis looked at the type of grass and scratched his head, wondering what harm it would do to cattle and sheep. "It's best to find some botanical experts, and if the cattle and sheep can't eat them, they have to be removed. ”
"So strict. Zeng Gong looked at Davis's strict eyes, was taken aback, and then followed his line of sight, and immediately smiled again: Davis, you may not know that these grasses are widely distributed in various grasslands in China, and they are Chinese medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine, which can improve the meat quality of cattle and sheep, but unfortunately China's grassland desertification is very strict, and such a rich grassland is difficult to see, and many places have also become artificial grasslands, just a single pasture. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Jason happily grabbing Zeng Gong's wrist.
"Hmm. Zeng Gong nodded, and then pointed to several plants on the grassland and said: "There is a breed called Sunit sheep in the Sunit grassland of Inner Mongolia, China, which grew up eating these kinds of grass, which was a tribute in ancient times, specially for the emperor to eat, and is known for its strong meat flavor and rich nutrition. ”
"So good?" a few old men obviously didn't believe it, but they heard that the ancient emperors ate food, and it shouldn't be much worse.
"Well, that's right, but I have some doubts, you look at those grasses, called Panax notoginseng, Muxiang, Kaempfera, turmeric, strychnine, these are all medicinal materials in southern China, you must know that the environmental difference between the north and south of China is still very large, it is incredible to be able to grow in Montana, but they are not only good Chinese medicine, but also very good pasture, I am sure. Zeng Gong looked at those Chinese herbs and scratched his head in confusion, obviously there were no such herbs yesterday, could it be that they were conjured out of thin air.
Several old men looked at each other a few times and said, "Zeng, since you are sure that these are good pastures, we don't have any opinions, but for the sake of insurance, we had better buy a few cows to test first, and if we can, let's buy them on a large scale, what do you think?"
Yes, this is still not trusting buddy, but Zeng Gong can't refute anything, on the contrary, this is completely a few old men who are conscientious, such a good employee, can it still discourage the enthusiasm of others? But one thing is not good, you can't figure out the boss's mind like Chinese employees.
Zeng Gong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly to the three old men, "You are experts, you have the final say." ”
The three old men laughed for a while, it seems that the boss is not difficult to get along with, which is very good for them cowboys, who can play freely by themselves, and there is no boss who does not know how to pretend to understand, pointing fingers on the side.
"That's it, tomorrow the market will open, let's go to the market and pick a few cows, try first, don't buy the horses first, there are all-terrain vehicles that are completely competent, let's connect the two pastures first, and the fence in the middle needs to be removed." Jason thought for a moment, tomorrow is a big bazaar, and said to the two old men.
A few old men nodded and immediately divided the work and cooperated, the workload was not too large, the two ranches were dozens of meters apart, and the middle strip was about a thousand acres, which was also bought from the name of the state government under the coordination of Jimmy, as long as the fence connecting the two ranches was dozens of meters away, the fence on both sides was still easy to remove.
Looking at the few cowboys who were working, Zeng Gong couldn't help but nodded, the few people hired were all good at work, and they were not the kind of people who cheated and cheated, especially Sanders, the three of them were very experienced and did things in an orderly manner.
"It's time to eat, let's eat first. At noon, Zeng Gong cooked the rice, drove an all-terrain vehicle to call a few people to eat, he didn't know how to cook Western food, he could only make a Chinese meal for everyone, only knew that the American recipe was sweet, Zeng Gong didn't cook Sichuan food, just some home-cooked, plus fried steak, and a pot of potato stew.
Looking at the hearty meal on the table, Sanders said: "Zeng, in fact, you don't need to cook for us, you only need to provide us with some meat in the ranch, and we usually cook by ourselves." ”
"Well, I thought you forgot to remind me to invite the cook yesterday, but you can taste the food I cooked, it's all home-cooked, and what I'm best at is making fish, how about you try the fish stew I made. Zeng Gong nodded, although he loves food, if he is allowed to cook every day, he can't stand it. "Your fish here is so cheap, I only paid a dollar for such a big one. ”
"For a dollar, you bought Asian carp, we rarely eat it here, there are too many spines, and it is very troublesome to eat. Sanders listened and shook his head. "Usually if you catch it in the river, you either kill it or throw it away. ”
"It's a shame, but if you try the fish I made, there are absolutely no spines, and there are tiny spines that can be eaten directly, just like the cartilage of cattle and sheep." Zeng Gong shook his head with a regretful face, he really didn't understand why Americans didn't eat this delicacy.
"Well, I don't know how to fry steak, it's the most delicious food I've ever tasted. A few foreigners did not speak, silently eating the steak they were most familiar with, and Sanders, who was full of juice on his face, praised sincerely.
"yes, you thought you should never cook for us. David looked at his father and said half-jokingly.
"Why? "After the delicious food is complete, I can improve your food every once in a while, why do you refuse it, Zeng Gong looked at David suspiciously.
"I'm used to eating your food, and I don't know when I'm dying of hunger on the horse. David said exaggeratedly, causing several foreigners to laugh.
Zeng Gong held his forehead and couldn't stop smiling bitterly, there was really nothing he could do with these Americans, seeing that they only ate fried steak, Zeng Gong said weakly: "Other tastes are also very good, especially fish, this is what I am best at." ”
"Haha, boss, I'll try it. Johnny couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zeng Gong's appearance, and clumsily added a chopstick with the chopsticks on the table like Zeng Gong.
"Oh God, how can Chinese carp be so delicious. Johnny stared at Zeng Gong with wide eyes, he really had never eaten such a delicious carp, it was too powerful, the taste was indescribable, the chopsticks in his hand couldn't be added, Johnny used his knife and fork together, and began to deal with the iron pot stewed fish.
"Eat more if it's delicious. Saying that, Zeng Gong served Johnny a bowl with a spoon, pointed to the egg cake and said, "You can also taste this, it tastes good." ”
The remaining cowboys glanced at each other, and they all used the forks in their hands to get a piece for themselves, and after taking a bite, they were out of control, and the coolness of the western cowboys was also vividly expressed, and they didn't need Zeng Gong to take care of them, so they filled a bowl and began to eat.
・・・・・・
"Verygood, your craftsmanship is amazing, the Chinese food is so delicious, it's not at all the same as the Chinese food I've eaten before. At the end of the meal, several foreigners ate with oily faces, and they all gave Zeng Gong a thumbs up, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
"Hehe, if you like it, I thought you weren't used to it. The admiration of a group of foreigners tickled Zeng Gong's itch, and he said modestly: "The Chinese food you usually eat is all improved, and it is not considered Chinese food to adapt to the taste of Americans." ”
