Chapter 302: First Arrival at the Ranch
After stepping out of the carriage, the snow had stopped, and Fang Yage saw that there was a wooden archway in front of him, connected to the fence on both sides, the fence was high, and there was no end in sight in the dark night.
There are no words on the archway, only two strings of big red lanterns, which illuminate the front of the door, Fang Yage looked back, and could see that the area of the ranch was huge, and on the side of the ranch, a big tent was supported, and there was a small courtyard opposite the tent, and the courtyard door was open. This made Fang Yage a little confused, such an arrangement, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little awkward.
Looking around, they were already far away from the main road, surrounded by tall trees, and it was difficult to see the inside from the outside. Fang Yage really didn't expect that there was a ranch less than thirty miles away from the capital.
"Let's go, it's cold, I'll bring you here next time during the day and take a good look at the scenery here." Jing Yunjue said.
Fang Yage's ears were a little hot when he heard this, this person is really, he can always say things that make people blush and heartbeat inadvertently, but he doesn't feel anything at all.
"Let's go inside, it's cold."
Fang Yage took a deep breath, and white smoke came out of his nostrils, obviously the weather was already extremely cold.
Seeing this, Jing Yunjue hurriedly took the lead and walked inside, and a man in a heavy cotton coat greeted him inside, and when he saw Jing Yunjue, he said: "I know that the master is coming, the house has been cleaned, please go to the yard." ”
Jing Yunjue nodded towards the man and continued to walk forward, Fang Yage glanced at the man curiously, although this man was dressed as a Yonghe person, but. The tone of speech and appearance are very similar to those of the Northern Ran. Seeing Fang Yage looking at him, the man raised his head slightly and smiled at Fang Yage in a friendly manner.
Peeking at being caught by others, Fang Yage was a little embarrassed, Chang Shan walked by the man's side, pestled the man's arm with his arm, and said, "Go and call your daughter-in-law, be careful that you scare Miss." ”
The man saw that Chang Shan and Jing Yunjue were very concerned about each other's songs, and although they were pestleed, they still ran to the tent happily and called their daughter-in-law to go.
Fang Yage only understood now. It turned out that the tent was for a man and a couple. Before Fang Yage entered the courtyard, he saw a neatly dressed woman walking out of the tent, followed by a man, a woman and two children.
"The master is hungry, I'll go and prepare some food." Middle-aged women are obviously much more thoughtful than men. Such a cold day. First ask the master if he is hungry.
Jing Yunjue wanted to say no. But thinking of Fang Yage, he turned his head and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
Fang Yage got up in the middle of the night and tossed all the way, in such a cold night. I'm really hungry. Fang Yage never hid himself in front of Jing Yunjue, so he nodded and said, "I'm indeed a little hungry." ”
When Jing Yunjue heard this, he said, "You go and prepare something to eat, it's best to bring hot soup, and then get some mutton and goat's milk." ”
The middle-aged woman was surprised when she heard this, when did the master learn to think about others, but her face did not show anything, and she said with a smile: "Then I'll go and order some mutton noodle soup for the master, the soup is ready-made, just get some noodles." ”
Fang Yage didn't expect that they not only ate mutton, but also noodles, so he said, "This is good, let's get this." ”
As they spoke, several people had already entered the house, and there were several braziers in the room, which was very warm. Jing Yunjue heard that Fang Yage wanted to eat, so she naturally had no opinion, so she said to the woman: "Then you can go and get it." ”
The woman respectfully withdrew from the house, and when she saw her husband waiting outside the door, she put her finger to her mouth, and it was not until they came out of the courtyard that the man asked, "How is it, what does the master want to eat?" ”
The man's name was Mu Yi, a native of Beiyan, and the woman was his wife, named Yanhong, and the two had been guarding this ranch for seven or eight years, and they had not been able to give up their original lives, so they did not live in the yard, but set up a tent next to it.
"The girl said she wanted to eat mutton noodles." Yan Hong said with a smile.
"What about the master? What does the master want to eat? Mu Yi asked.
"You elm pimple, I won't tell you, I'll go and make noodles." Yan Hong smiled and looked at her honest husband, this guy didn't understand what it meant to have something to say.
"Hey, you understand, what does it mean, if I am an elm pimple, how can I marry a wife like you." After listening to Mu Yi's words, Yan Hong smiled even more happily, it is also good to marry an honest man, it always seems that you are very shrewd.
"How big is your ranch?" Fang Yage's hand was held high and placed on a meter-high place on top of the charcoal basin, warm and not too hot.
"It's probably a few hundred acres, and I haven't measured it." Jing Yunjue said.
"But how can there be such a large piece of grassland outside the capital, shouldn't it have been mined a long time ago?" Fang Yage asked.
"This used to be farmland, belonging to two big landowners, that year, my mother went to Beiyan with him, and felt that the grassland scenery in Beiyan was very beautiful, so he bought such a large piece of land, planted grass, and raised cattle and sheep. Later, my mother was gone, and the ranch was mine. Jing Yunjue said.
"Then it's winter, what do the cattle and sheep eat?" Fang Yage asked.
"In winter, the grass should be prepared early in the winter, and there are also sent from the surrounding villages, and there is a lot of hay on the mountain, so they will come back with some hay in exchange for some pocket money." Jing Yunjue said.
This makes sense, it's just that I need a lot of mutton, and I don't know if Jing Yunjue's ranch can supply it. "And how many sheep are there?" Fang Yage asked.
"I don't know, you go back and ask Mu Yi about them." Jing Yunjue said with a smile, this little girl is worried about her business.
Fang Yage was also a little embarrassed, picked up the white sugar cube on the table and ate it, with a faint milky taste, it tasted great, could it be that it was made of goat's milk. felt that this candy cube was neither too sweet nor greasy, so she ate another piece, Jing Yunjue was funny, it seems that she is really a child, she likes to eat sugar so much.
Jing Yunjue still doesn't understand women, she likes to eat sweets, this has nothing to do with age, it's just that some people like to eat and learn to control it, and they don't show it in front of people. Watching Fang Yage eat one piece after another, Jing Yunjue also began to think, is this candy really so delicious, should I try it.
Before he could take action, footsteps came from outside the door, "Master, the meal is here." ”
Chang Shan immediately opened the door, only to see Yan Hong carrying a two-layer food box, and Mu Yi in the back carrying a bigger one. Taking out the meals one by one, Fang Yage was amazed at Yan Hong's neat hands and feet, and in such a short time, four dishes and one soup were prepared, and there were two large bowls of hot mutton noodles. Presumably knowing that Jing Yunjue was ready.
"Master, you can use it." After setting the meal, Yan Hong and Mu Yi retreated.
Fang Yage looked at the steaming mutton noodles and had a great appetite, and then looked at a braised beef, a spiced peanut, a big bowl of roast mutton, and a big bowl of stewed wild pheasant with potatoes on the table, Fang Yage only felt that his saliva was flowing out.
"You two sit down and eat together."
Fang Yage also remembered that Zi Su once ran outside the carriage by herself, although she wore a lot, she also knew kung fu, and her body was hard, but she couldn't be careless, in case of a cold, it would not be a trivial matter. Anyway, there are so many dishes, so everyone will eat them together so that they will not be wasted. (To be continued......)
