【Chapter 793】 Banquet Preparation (Subscription Requested!)

Xiao Feng returned from hunting and harvested a sixteen-year-old red deer and a baby bear, which added a bit of joy to the ranch, and Xiao Jinyang decided to hold a grand barbecue banquet on the lawn next to the castle to celebrate the beginning of the 'Dream Ranch'.

After a light lunch, the ranch got into action!

Old Bob and Marimi informed the cowboys who were on vacation to help out at the castle, and this was the first group dinner since the establishment of the 'Dream Ranch', and everyone took it very seriously.

In a short time, a dozen cowboys came to the lawn near the castle and began to make all kinds of preparations for the barbecue dinner in the evening, and everyone had a big smile on their faces.

For the cowboys in the United States, the work of the 'Dream Ranch' is quite fulfilling, and the welfare package is much better than other ranches, which gives them enough centripetal force and cohesion.

In general, cowboys are paid about $300 a week on Montana ranches, and the jobs on these ranches are not necessarily stable, and seasonal unemployment is common.

Now, Dream Ranch, which is on the right track, offers $1,500 a month for the average cowboy, $2,000 for the supervisor, and Bob Sr., the ranch cowboy manager, for $3,000. In addition to this, Dream Ranch also provides free meat, vegetables and milk to all cowboys, which in some way alleviates the cowboys' living expenses.

With such benefits alone, it is enough for the cowboys to have enough good feelings for the boss's family, not to mention that the 'Dream Ranch' is a fully automatic irrigation ranch, and the work of the ranch is not hard, but it also makes the cowboys have the idea of long-term work.

It has been exactly half a year since the construction of the 'Dream Ranch' began, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the ranch cowboys have gradually formed, and this is the scene where everyone is competing to work.

As for the Chinese cowboys from Ginkgo Village, most of them are young people from the Xiao family, and if they want to take care of Xiao Jinyang's 'fourth master', they are naturally more concerned about tonight's barbecue banquet.

Guo Yiyan and others naturally joined the team to prepare the dinner, although the cowboys' education is generally not high, but everyone is young, and they soon have a good time.

Of course, Nini, who was riding a three-wheeled bicycle with Yu'er baby running around, also made the whole lawn a lot more lively, and the atmosphere was great.

Xue Lihua is preparing all kinds of pastries with Aunt Maria, and the big oven for baking cakes has been moved to the lawn, and the posture is still quite sufficient.

In addition to the ranch cowboys and staff tonight, there are also nearby neighbors and so on to participate, not to mention about 200 people, Xue Lihua naturally has to prepare enough food.

At the faucet next to the stable, Xiao Feng, Xiao Jinyang, Old Bob and others were dealing with the big red deer that they hunted back yesterday, attracting several young people to come and watch the excitement.

Speaking of which, it was not the first time that Xiao Feng and the others had dealt with this kind of prey, and in Ginkgo Village, they had followed Xiao Siye into the mountains to hunt and make specimens of the prey heads they had brought back.

In fact, outsiders don't know that in the Xiao family's treasury, there are all kinds of precious specimens, including tiger skins, bear skins, etc., but due to the relationship between policies, it is inconvenient to make them public.

In the United States, the relevant laws have become relatively relaxed, and today's 16-digit red deer head will become the first work of Xiao Feng's prey exhibition hall.

Old Bob used a small chainsaw to cut off the head of the red deer, and the next step was to carry out a series of treatments on the head in order to preserve it for a long time.

In a sense, every old hunter is an excellent biologist, and the art of making specimens alone is not something that ordinary biology undergraduate students can master.

Taking the deer head this time as an example, the old Bob first had to clean up all kinds of flesh and rotten fur, and then make a small opening to remove various tissues in the skull, and then use alcohol and other chemical agents to treat the deer head, and finally freeze and shape!

After such a complex process, this deer head specimen can be regarded as completed, as long as attention is paid to moisture-proof and insect-proof in the future display and preservation process.

Looking at the old Bob's flowing movements, Xiao Feng was also quite amazed, and secretly pondered in his heart, in the future, he must master such a technique, otherwise the loot in the showroom is not made by himself, and he feels that it will not be in place.

Putting aside the preliminarily processed deer head, Old Bob watched Xiao Feng begin to skin the red deer, which is also a rather sophisticated technique, and ordinary people can't do it well.

At the beginning, old Bob was still a little worried that a young man like Xiao Feng could not handle such a job.

But it turned out that his worries were unfounded!

Starting from the four hooves of the red deer, the sharp blade in Xiao Feng's hand seemed to be alive, moving between the deer skin and the connective tissue with ease, and in less than ten minutes, a deer skin was completely peeled off!

"BOSS, it's perfect!" looked at the bare red deer's body, and old Bob couldn't help but applaud.

In old Bob's eyes, this kind of technology can be regarded as first-class even among the old hunters in Montana! Old Bob didn't expect that his boss not only has a hand in hunting, but also handles prey!

"Fortunately, I've dealt with it a few times in Huaxia before!" Looking at his works, Xiao Feng still nodded a little reservedly.

Xiao Feng is no stranger to skinning, after all, Ginkgo Village can get a lot of prey every year, and Xiao Feng knows how to start after seeing a lot.

Since practicing the 'Qi Refining Technique', Xiao Feng has not only greatly improved his physical qualities, but more importantly, his ability to control his muscles has been greatly improved, and many delicate tasks are naturally effortless to deal with.

A few young cowboys who were watching saw the boss's wonderful expression, and their recognition in their hearts was also further.

For these young people who have not read too many books, in addition to wealth, the more important factor that impresses them is superior skills.

During this period of time, Xiao Feng's riding skills, strength, etc. have impressed the cowboys, and now Xiao Feng has shown strong strength in hunting, which naturally won the respect of the cowboys.

According to the tradition of the American West, a rancher like Xiao Feng can truly gain the approval of cowboys!

Before that, many ranches, including Maple Leaf Ranch, Salmon Ranch and Black Bear Ranch, were mostly toys for wealthy Wall Street, and the cowboys who worked in them saw it more as a means of livelihood than as a part of life.

Nowadays, these cowboys feel enough respect in the 'Dream Ranch', and Xiao Feng, the boss, is in a sense very close to the ideal boss image in the cowboys' minds, which makes the cowboys have more feelings for the ranch.

After Xiao Feng peeled the skin, Xiao Jinyang was not to be outdone, and began to process the remaining venison, this big red deer is going to come in handy tonight.

The number of people attending the banquet tonight will not be less than 200 people, in addition to the venison of more than 100 catties of red deer, the 'Dream Ranch' also temporarily ordered dozens of catties of steak from the surrounding organic pastures, and the Duber sheep in the ranch are already edible, and it will be grandly debuted tonight!

In addition to raising beef cattle, the 'Dream Ranch' also raises a lot of Dubo sheep, mainly to provide meat for the ranch and the Xiao family, and this time it can be regarded as a wonderful appearance.

While Xiao Feng and the others were processing meat and tanning leather, Nini was taking Guo Yiyan and the others to the vegetable garden of the ranch to prepare the raw materials for tonight's vegetable salad.

Vegetable salad is an indispensable part of the daily recipe in the United States, just as soup is to Lingnan people and Xiangjiang people.

Today is a big gathering of 200 people, and Xiao Feng did not plan to hold a Chinese-style banquet, but prepared it in accordance with the American tradition and in the way of BBQ, which can be regarded as following the local customs.

After coming to the United States to establish the 'Dream Ranch', although organic vegetables are not the main business direction of the 'Jinghu Group', the Xiao family will naturally not give up the cultivation of organic vegetables.

Less than a mile from Maple Leaf Castle, a large vegetable garden with a total area of 100 acres has been put into operation, providing a certain amount of organic vegetables to Helena's Walmart supermarket every day, in addition to meeting the daily needs of the ranch.

Because of the good cooperation between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and the Wal-Mart Group, when the vegetables of the 'Dream Garden' were certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, these vegetables entered the Wal-Mart supermarket smoothly.

If it weren't for the limited production of the 'Dream Garden', Wal-Mart would even hope that these top-of-the-line 'Dream Organic Vegetables' would be able to land in all Wal-Mart supermarkets in Montana and even in the United States.

Over the years, 'Dream Vegetables' has become the favorite organic vegetable of Helena's high-income class, and it is often sold out as soon as it hits the shelves!

"Aunt Yanzi, you have to pay attention when you enter the vegetable garden later!" Nini, who was riding a three-wheeled bicycle, was snorting forward, and did not forget to introduce some precautions to Guo Yiyan about the 'Dream Vegetable Garden'.

For the vegetable garden, the little guy is also quite familiar with it, these days when the time catches up, she will follow into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and accumulate points, which is also part of the Xiao family's beginning to implement American-style education.

The little guy doesn't have much aversion to work, after all, after work, Mom and Dad will record it, and they can buy their favorite toys and villain books in the future. For Nini, it's a lot of fun.

"Then Nini will have to supervise Aunt Yanzi well!" Guo Yiyan especially liked Nini's little adult appearance, thinking that it would be good to have such a child in the future.

Xu Mengyao watched the conversation between one big and one small going on with relish, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly!

When they came to the outside of the 'Dream Garden', the eye-catching 'USDA' sign immediately surprised Tom and others, who were familiar with the domestic situation in the United States.

Before that, they thought that this was just the garden of the 'Dream Ranch', but they didn't expect it to be certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture!

In the United States, the price of organic vegetables is even more expensive than ordinary fattening meats, basically no less than $8 per pound, and some expensive varieties and even high-grade vegetable garden products will be more expensive!

Due to the strict procedures and conditions of 'organic certification', it may not be possible for one out of a thousand vegetable gardens to be certified, so Tom and others were surprised to see this green mark!

"'Dream Vegetable Garden' is also called 'Anne Vegetable Garden', and the 'Anne Organic Vegetables' it produces already have a lot of fame in Helena!" Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Xu Mengyao had a slightly smug expression and said with a smile: "You pay attention to the portrait of Nini on the logo, the little guy is famous now!"

In each package of 'Nini Organic Vegetables' sold, a trademark with the 'USDA' logo is printed on it, and a silhouette of Nini's head is printed on it. Of course, if you don't specifically explain it, no one knows that the avatar on it is Nini's.

Tom, Guo Yiyan and others were also introduced by Xu Mengyao, only to find that the outline of the avatar was very consistent with Nini's appearance, and knew that this was a way for the Xiao family to express their love for their children.

The 100-acre vegetable garden is not big, but it is not small, and under the nourishment of the 'Space Spirit Spring', all the vegetables are growing well, and they are full of vitality in front of Guo Yiyan and others.

The garden delivers nearly 10 tons of organic vegetables to Walmart every three days, bringing in $100,000 in revenue for Dream Ranch.

Because of the high price of organic vegetables in the United States, the Xiao family already has plans to continue to expand the scale of organic vegetables, and strive to make the 'Dream Ranch' break even before the Angus Black Bull can produce benefits.

Anyway, Xu Mengyao has gradually let go of the specific affairs of the 'Jinghu Group' recently, and she has nothing to do, but she can work with her mother to put this one together.

Guo Yiyan and the others were not able to know the operation strategy of the 'Dream Ranch', they changed into their work clothes and went into the vegetable garden to pick all kinds of vegetables needed tonight, and they were all stunned by the harvest scene in front of them.

Compared to a normal vegetable garden, the vegetables in Anne's Garden grow better and are brighter in color, especially the tomatoes, which almost make you want to take a bite.

In fact, since living in the 'Dream Ranch', Guo Yiyan and others have encountered all kinds of surprises, this is simply a legendary miracle place, and there are always all kinds of unexpected miracles that will pop up inadvertently.

Whether it is the obedient and sensible white clouds and black soil or the scarlet-breasted parrot that can only speak well, whether it is the deep wealth and wealth of Xiao Feng's family or the amazing development scene of the 'Dream Ranch', they have left a very deep impression on them.

They never imagined that a chance encounter would allow them to experience a lot of magic that they couldn't experience before, which was really wonderful.

After working for more than half an hour, Guo Yiyan and the others finally returned with a full load, and they stepped on the afterimage of the sunset and marched towards the 'Maple Leaf Castle'.

As soon as they reached the castle, they heard the sound of guitars and singing coming from the lawn, and it seemed that everyone was starting to get a little nervous, and before it was dark, they began to have a fun journey!

As soon as they thought of this, Guo Yiyan and the others were also hot, and they couldn't wait to join in immediately!R1152
