"Stop, stop. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Li stopped Ke'er's movements, looked at it carefully, and then thought in his head, "Just dig a little deeper, don't go too deep, otherwise after the thing is buried, it will not be easy to cook." ”

Cole looked at Lu Li helplessly, "It's the first time I've heard that burying things in the ground and then relying on the heat of a bonfire to cook them sounds really unbelievable. ”

"Hehe, this dish is called called flower chicken. Lu Li explained, "The explanation is that it is the chicken eaten by beggars." You know, the beggars don't have enough props to cook, so they wrap the stolen chickens in lotus leaves, wrap them in mud, and bury them under the campfire, which can be used to keep warm and use the residual heat to roast the food. Kill two birds with one stone. If you want, you can also throw some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and the like into it, it tastes very special. ”

Cole was dumbfounded, "Are you sure these are all Chinese/Chinese food? Why haven't I heard of it in a Chinese/Chinese restaurant before?"

Lu Lihuai laughed, "You can go and confirm my passport, I am a true Chinese/Chinese." ”

"Cole, just shut your mouth and do what Fourteen says. Jessica said boldly, "If I haven't seen it, I haven't seen a fish head make soup before." My mom said that fish heads are not edible and should be thrown away. So, the best option is to let Fourteen cook and then we wait for the food to be served, and that's fine. ”

"So, what about my salary? You have to know, senior chefs are paid very much. Lu Li said solemnly, Jessica and Cole looked at each other, and then everyone burst into laughter.

“…… Fourteen, there's something I want to talk to you about. Watching Cole continue to dig a pit, Jessica turned her head to Lu Li and said, inevitably a little hesitant between her words, which is really rare. Jessica's personality has always been neat, and although she hasn't been together for a long time, her straightforward personality makes Lu Li feel very happy.

Randy, who was standing not far behind with a water pipe, raised his voice and said, "Jessica, you don't want to confess to Fourteen, do you?"

"Isn't your work over yet? Jessica choked back, causing Randy to scream, "It's not fair! I'm going to eat that chicken, I've never heard of it, it must be delicious!" Jessica crossed her hands on her hips, her apricot eyes glared, Randy immediately closed her mouth, took the hose and ran away, shouting, "Don't leave me to start the meal early!"

Lu Li said with a smile, "If you have something, just say it, it's not your personality." ”

Jessica gritted her teeth, "You remember Sean, right? ”

"Of course, I remember that I bought so many cows from him, and that was my living expenses for three months, and my memory is not so bad. Lu Li's relaxed answer made Jessica uneasy.

"Sean and I have been friends for almost thirty years. Jessica said simply, "He heard that Yundian Ranch held a party today, and he also wanted to come over to join in the fun, but this is a housewarming banquet for the ranch, I think it's a bit abrupt, so I want to ask for your opinion." Jessica still felt embarrassed, "If it's inconvenient, I can refuse him, he's just greedy." You know, I've mentioned several times that your food is delicious, so he's always been curious. ”

"Of course there is no problem. Lu Li's answer was crisp and neat, revealing a big smile, "I very much welcome him to come as a guest." You know, when I first arrived in New York, I had almost no friends, and then a classmate invited me to a party at another strange friend's house, and that's how I got used to it. Making new friends is always the best way to get used to a new city, isn't it? ”

Texas xenophobia is well known, and Lu Li has been here for nearly two months, but there are still only a handful of friends. As a foreigner, and a strange face from Asia, Lu Li stands out on any occasion, and most Texans refuse to talk to him. So, it's great that someone is willing to open their hearts to him.

"Hah, that couldn't be better. Jessica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not to mention the Asian face of Lu Li, even people from the east and west sides of the strait like New York or Los Angeles who come to Texas may not be able to quickly integrate into it, on the one hand, they are xenophobic, and on the other hand, outsiders are not adapted to their style. However, in less than two months of getting along, Jessica fell in love with Lu Li, bold, direct, friendly, and enthusiastic, and the excellent cooking was the icing on the cake, and she also hoped that Lu Li could run Yundian Ranch well. Asking Sean about attending the party did not mean to introduce Lu Li to the local circle of Texas.

Jessica smiled widely, "Sean has a bottle of treasured whiskey there, I asked him to bring it over and celebrate it tonight." With that, Jessica pointed in Randy's direction, "I'd better go over and help, and finish the work quickly so I can come over and help." Then he walked away with a brisk step.

"Fourteen?" A call came from behind him, and Lu Li turned his head, revealing the taciturn Brandon. He was killing chickens in the back, and he was in a mess, and suddenly raised his head, still holding a knife in his hand, quite a bit of a serial killer's posture, which made Lu Li joke, "Professor Hannibal, is there something?"

Cole laughed next to him, Brandon was still expressionless, and the joke fell cold.

But fortunately, Brandon immediately opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment, "I just want to ask, can my wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law also come over?" Brandon also showed a rare look of shyness, "I mean, they have always been curious about the appearance of Yundian Ranch and the situation of my work." ”

"Of course. Lu Li opened his arms, "Warm welcome." To be honest, I've always wanted to get to know Jia Siming, but I've heard a lot of compliments from her, and I can't wait to get to know her. ”

Brandon gave a shallow smile, "Thank you." ”

Lu Li waved his hand at Brandon, signaling that it was okay, and then turned his head to look at Cole, "What about you, you don't have any special partners to invite?"

Cole couldn't help but laugh, "My parents will be here tonight, they have always wanted to know you and show their gratitude to you. But in the past, the ranch has been relatively busy, so there is no chance. Cole knew Lu Li very well, at least better than the other three cowboys, so instead of politely asking for advice, he called his parents early.

Lu Li straightened his collar, "Say, what's the matter with my sudden nervousness?" The serious look made Cole roll his eyes speechlessly—he knew that Lu Li was joking with him again.

Tonight, the ranch is about to hold a housewarming feast!

The sheep shearing work ended much faster than expected, it was expected to end in three days, but it was only the next day, and when I had lunch today, the work had already entered the finishing stage, and it was estimated that it would be all over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, it takes a few hours to sort all the wool and wash it before it can be put on the market.

On the one hand, Lu Li wanted to treat the four cowboys well, and this time the wool shearing work was successfully completed, which was the first large-scale collective work since he took over the ranch, and it was still commemorative, on the other hand, Lu Li also wanted to hold a small banquet to celebrate the move, and at the same time thank his friends for taking care of them.

Whether it is a Chinese/Chinese custom or an American custom, it is a common practice to invite friends to a small party after moving. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month and almost two months since Lu Li came to the ranch, and now that his life has basically settled down, and the ranch work has gradually been on the right track, it is time to hold a housewarming banquet.

What's more, Lu Li has always wanted to thank Lily, Ronald, Justin and others, as well as Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan, but he never found a chance. Now it seems that today is the best opportunity.

So, seeing that the work was about to be completed, after lunch, Lu left the Raptor and went to Austin, and successively swept the supermarkets in the United States and China, and returned with a full load after three hours, and then began to prepare for the banquet in the evening.

Cole and Brandon come over to help, while Randy and Jessica wash the wool and put the finishing touches on it.

Lu Li thought that if a bonfire party was held, it would be completely American style, and it would be better to hold a Chinese/Chinese banquet. In the past, when I was a child in the countryside, they also held a flowing water banquet, and that scene was truly spectacular, Lu Li did not have such a level, but at least he could cook a big table, put together twelve dishes, and thank his friends.

However, here in the United States, there is no Chinese-style round table, so Lu Li decided to light a bonfire and adapt to American customs in the form of semi-buffet, but the cuisine is completely in the style of Chinese/Chinese banquets.

Now, Jessica, Brandon, and Cole have all called their families, which is expected, but the number seems to be a little more than Lu Li expected. If you add the family in the Marshall Valley Ranch next door, it is also unknown whether Justin will bring someone to attend, Lu Li knows the habit here in the United States, and if you hold a party, it is generally "1+1", and it is more likely that a family will appear. When he was in New York, he went to many parties as a stranger and made many friends.

So, this also means that one table may not be enough, so is it necessary to prepare two tables?

Lu Li still has a headache, cooking is just his hobby, not his profession. Preparing two tables of food was a difficult task, and he wasn't sure if he could do it - what if he messed up?

"Brandon, I think, five chickens may not be enough. Lu Li turned his head to look at Brandon, who was holding a knife in his hand, looked up and was stunned, for a second, two seconds, and then he nodded, "Okay." ”

Okay? What's good? How many are there? Can you tell me a little bit more completely?

"Ten will not be too much, right?"

"Okay. ”
