In the spring, Montana wakes up from the long winter, and the wilderness is full of life, and the scenery is beautiful.

It was a sunny day, and it was Saturday, so Xiao Feng decided to go to the 'Dream Lake' with the whole family for a picnic and spring, so the 'Maple Leaf Castle' was busy early in the morning.

Because it was a family picnic, Xiao Feng did not ask Mark William to bring the servants to help, and he and his father completed most of the physical work.

In fact, there was not much to do, the barbecue utensils, the crisper box for storing the ingredients, and the moisture-proof mats were moved to the F150, and the others also got on the bus quickly, and the small convoy of three cars set off.

In the eyes of Xue Lihua and other old people, Xu Mengyao, who was about to give birth in less than 10 weeks, was not suitable for going out at this time, and she couldn't bear the children's begging, so she could only agree.

Even so, Xue Lihua also told Xiao Fengqian to drive the car steadily, slowly, and slowly.

As a result, along the way, Xiao Feng was a little faster, and Xue Lihua, who was following the car, immediately asked Xiao Feng to slow down through the walkie-talkie, almost turning into a snail to move forward.

As a result, the distance from 'Maple Leaf Castle' to 'Dream Lake' was less than 10 miles, and the convoy took more than half an hour, which was not much different from walking.

Sitting in the car, listening to the children's laughter with the old man on the walkie-talkie and her husband's whispered complaints, Xu Mengyao suddenly felt so happy!

Some people say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in China has always been a hot spot on the screen, and life is also very exciting.

However, since marrying into the Xiao family, Xu Mengyao has never felt the progress of the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between her and Xu Mengyao is more like that of mother and daughter.

Of course, in reality, a situation like the Xiao family. Xu Mengyao's identity background is too rare.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the shore of the 'Dream Lake', Xue Lihua instructed Xiao Jinyang to move the movable sofa chair from the pickup truck first, which was Xu Mengyao's throne, and she was reluctant to let her pregnant daughter-in-law stand all the time.

First settle Xu Mengyao and put a thermos pot full of hot water on the table next to him. Xue Lihua and Mother Xu commanded several men to work.

Xu Mengyao likes to drink coffee very much, but since she became pregnant, she has no chance of coffee and tea, and everything she can drink every day is hot milk except boiled water. Rao is Xu Mengyao's status in the family is extremely high, but at this point, Xue Lihua and Xu's mother's requirements have been implemented to the letter.

The wife sat on the sofa chair to rest, the two dolls were watched by grandparents and fathers-in-law, and the combination of the two bodyguards of Baiyun and Black Earth plus the little stupid bear, Xiao Feng was also relieved.

Spring. The fish in the thawed 'Dream Lake' are naturally the most delicious, and this time when he came out to camp, Xiao Feng had already prepared his fishing home.

After a while, Xiao Feng chose a spot by the lake and began to cast bait, waiting for the fish to take the bait!

For the fish who have been hungry for months, the bait stained with the 'Space Spirit Spring' is simply a beacon in the night, and it has an incomparable allure for them.

It's not. Xiao Feng threw down the bait for less than a minute, and a big fish was hooked!

This past winter. The "Dream Scenic Area" carried out the activities of "ice fishing" and "ice fishing", and Zhao Dashan and his apprentices brought a variety of ice activities and whole fish feasts to tourists.

Even after dozens of tons were consumed, the flooding of Asian carp in the 'Dream Lake' has not been effectively alleviated, and after the ice melts, people can still see Asian carp jumping on the surface of the lake.

With Xiao Feng's fishing skills, he quickly pulled a large red carp with a foot of more than 60 centimeters ashore. It can be regarded as a good start.

When Xiao Feng was harvesting here, several cowboys who were fishing not far away gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up, and Xiao Feng also responded with a smile.

In Fantasy Ranch, cowboys take two days off a week, of course. When working, it will not strictly follow the 8-hour work system. After all, there is a lot of work in the pasture, and almost all cowboys are on call around the clock during working hours, such as when a cow is in labor at night, which is also a toss.

Compared to other ranches, the working conditions at the 'Dream Ranch' are much better, many cowboys in Montana only have one day off a week, and those workers from South America do not even rest for the entire grazing season until the end of the grazing season.

In addition to ample rest time, the cowboys at Dream Ranch generally earn more than half of the cowboys on other ranches, and the most grassroots cowboys can also get a monthly salary of $2,000, which is already considered a high income in rural America.

As for the backbone cowboys of the ranch such as Old Bob and Chen Mo, the income will not be less than 40,000 US dollars in a year, which is also the time when the 'Dream Ranch' expands its team, it will attract great praise.

In the past year, under the influence of Chinese cowboys and their own owners' food, American cowboys in the 'Dream Ranch' have also fallen in love with Chinese food, and even many American cowboys have begun to learn to make complex Chinese dishes.

In this way, the Asian carp, which has always been regarded as a daunting path by Lao Mei, does not pose any obstacles, and many cowboys will go to the 'Dream Lake' to fish and go home to improve their food when they are resting.

Now it is the season of spring flowers, and it happens to coincide with the weekend, and many cowboys who take turns off simply drag their families to the lake to fish and camp, which is also part of American life.

Compared with the optimistic and cheerful attitude of the Americans, the Chinese people are more overwhelmed by the weight of life, and the family life on weekends is much more boring.

Of course, with the continuous growth of China's economy over the years, the proportion of the middle class has been expanding, and there are more and more families who drive their families to the suburbs on weekends for picnics and spring holidays, and Chinese people have begun to learn to enjoy life.

In addition to the cowboys from the ranch, some tourists also set up a stash on the lake with fishing gear provided by the hotel, and the professional chef helped them cook the fish immediately after catching it, which was also very enjoyable.

Xiao Feng didn't expect that he would encounter fans rushing up to ask for photos and autographs in this situation, and after Xizizi met the fans' requests. That's when I went on fishing.

Fishing in the 'Dream Lake', which is rich in fish, is not difficult at all, not to mention the technical content, at most it is a test of skill when walking the fish.

It didn't take half an hour, Xiao Feng had already harvested a net full of fish, and he returned with a full load!

Back to camp. Xiao Jinyang and Xu Xiangnan had already burned the charcoal fire of the barbecue grill, and all kinds of ingredients were also taken out of the fresh-keeping box, waiting for Xiao Feng to deal with it.

Xiao Feng himself is a person who likes to cook, not to mention serving his family, naturally a hundred are willing, so he didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and went to work!

Chop off the big head of the big-headed fish, fry it slightly on both sides, and wait until the camp begins to fill with a burnt aroma. Then add the prepared stock and tofu to simmer, and wait until the milky white soup is boiled, and it is an appetizing and nutritious dish.

As for the body of the big-headed fish, because the meat is less and the thorns are more, Xiao Feng simply removed the bones and shot out the fish bones, and after a little frying, he could throw them to the little stupid bear for lunch.

Come to the lake. Naturally, there will be no shortage of grilled fish, but considering that there are many elderly and children in the family. There is also a pregnant woman, Xiao Feng did not choose the traditional open flame grilled fish, but added a layer of aluminum foil.

After the crucian carp and carp are slaughtered and washed, they are smeared with a special sauce, then wrapped in aluminum foil and thrown on the barbecue grill. After 10 minutes, you can eat it.

In fact, in addition to grilled fish, Xiao Feng even treats ribs like this, which can not only reduce the invasion of oil smoke, but also lock in the soup of the ingredients, and retain more nutrients.

These are also some of the dishes that Xiao Feng has been working on recently, which should be both delicious and healthy. This is an eternal challenge for every chef.

Of course, in addition to the use of aluminum foil, there is another heavyweight kitchenware for today's outdoor barbecue, that is, the barrel chicken barbecue barrel that has drifted across the ocean from the treasure island area!

Some time ago, Xiao Feng was watching a variety show hosted by Brother Xian, and he was very interested in seeing that barbecue barrels made of stainless steel were very popular in the treasure island area to bake various foods.

"Barrel Chicken Barbecue Bucket" is a kind of closed stainless steel barbecue utensils, which are widely used in many snack bars, street stalls and restaurants in Baodao, mainly used to make whole roast chicken, so Baodao folk call this barbecue appliance "Barrel Chicken Barbecue Bucket", and the whole chicken barbecued out is called "Barrel Chicken".

The way to make cooked food in the barbecue bucket is to put the food in the barbecue barrel, and produce high-temperature dry roasting through the stainless steel barrel heated by charcoal fire, because the closed dry grilling is evenly heated and the food is not easy to burn, and the barbecue food can also be completely isolated from open flames, charcoal ash, barbecue residues and other carcinogens, so that the barbecue food tastes healthier, and retains the aroma and taste of barbecue, which can be said to be the gospel of those who love barbecue and are worried about the impact of barbecue carcinogens on health.

Xiao Feng has to admire the person who invented the 'barbecue bucket', after all, this practice is environmentally friendly and healthy, and has great potential for promotion.

Originally, Xiao Feng wanted to order a few through Xiao Ma's Taobei network, but there were no merchants promoting this kind of product, and there was no trace on foreign shopping websites such as Amazon.

In the end, Xiao Feng called Brother Xian and asked him to help buy it on Treasure Island and send it over through FedEx, so that he could have a good experience.

Unexpectedly, Brother Xian was still quite interesting, so without saying a word, he bought several models of barbecue barrels and sent them over through the courier company.

Not to mention the amount of money spent, just because of Brother Xian's enthusiastic attitude, Xiao Feng felt that he was a good person, and he also had a share in the invitation to the charity dinner this time.

After several experiments, Xiao Feng has basically mastered the skills of making barbecue buckets, and even decided to use barbecue barrels to cook some food in the 'Dream Restaurant'.

Take out the local chicken that was slaughtered and marinated this morning from the crisper box, skewer it on the shelf, put it in the barbecue bucket that has been preheated, close the lid, and wait for the delicious food to come out of the oven for a while.

Compared with ordinary open-flame barbecue, the barbecue bucket is simply a blessing for lazy people, you only need to put the marinated ingredients into the barbecue barrel, you don't have to worry about burning, and the deliciousness comes naturally.

In addition to barbecue and soup, Xiao Feng also prepared crème brûlée, small cakes, etc., which were made on site, and the whole camp was quickly covered with a variety of rich aromas.

After a while, Nini and Yu'er ran over with the ranch children who were playing nearby, looking at Xiao Feng with their eyes, and their saliva flowed.

Looking at a group of cute children, Xiao Feng was suddenly in a good mood, and the exhaustion of his body was swept away at once, and he made a small bowl of dry-roasted river shrimp for each of the children, so that they could satisfy their hunger first.

The delicacy made by Xiao Feng not only attracted the children, but also pulled the nearby cowboys over, and everyone knew that Xiao Feng, the boss, was approachable, so they didn't be polite to him.

In a short time, the camp became a place for food exchange, and all kinds of delicacies prepared by Xiao Feng, other Argentinian barbecue made by cowboys, Spanish seafood stewed rice, and Toei sushi made by the hotel chef became the protagonists of the camp.

This time, it is no longer just a picnic party for Xiao Feng's family, but a party by the 'Dream Lake', where everyone happily gathers around to share food, which is quite comfortable.

For the elderly, the crowd is lively, so the smiles on their faces have never stopped, and they are even more pleased that although the children are rich and rival the country, their pure hearts have never disappeared.

Nini and Yu'er are very happy, usually at home there are sisters and brothers to play, today to the camping there are so many little friends to accompany themselves, as long as you listen to their silver bell-like laughter, you can know their mood.

Nini even made a request to Xiao Feng, that is, to find an opportunity to invite the little pot friends in the kindergarten to hold a party at home, after all, after this semester, the life of the kindergarten will be over.

Xiao Feng naturally would not slack off on his baby daughter's request, and solemnly agreed to Nini, preparing to find a suitable weekend in the future to invite the little pot friends and their parents from the kindergarten to the ranch and hold a grand party.

Among those tourists who came to the 'Dream Lake' today were Xiao Feng's fans, and they spent a day full of meaning, where they could taste all kinds of food made by their idols, and they could get close to their idols, take photos, chat, and sign autographs, which was simply the rhythm of happiness to death.

When these photos appear on the scarf and micro-news, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred come to the face, not to mention the sour mood!

Sometimes, life is so simple and happy! (To be continued......
