After confirming that all the ingredients produced in the ranch were as expected, Shi Lei's first thought was, of course, how to try different cooking methods of various ingredients and what different flavors they had.

Seeing such top-notch ingredients in front, Shi Lei of course had to give full play to his foodie consciousness first. And after finally getting out of the state of being a complete foodie, Shi Lei thought of some other aspects.

Shi Lei's original idea was to develop many livestock and poultry in the ranch into a multi-functional type, such as the beef cattle in the pasture, Shi Lei was transformed according to the standard of both meat and skin.

In short, in addition to the most important edible part, the other parts should also be in the field, with the highest quality.

In order to test the effect of other aspects as well, wool and poultry feathers were of course also tested, and of course sheepskins and cowhides were also retained, and after they were nitrated, they were taken back to the pasture, and Laura, who was by far the most authoritative person in the whole ranch in this regard, was to evaluate it.

Sheepskins have been in stock for a long time, and Laura has been working on making something out of them, and it didn't take long for the hides to arrive, so Laura planned to make something simple out of them.

Before Shi Lei went home for the Spring Festival, Laura also made all kinds of leather things and handed them over to Shi Lei.

Sheepskin is made of leather clothing, leather shoes and gloves, of course, all of which are designed by Laura herself, and the advantages of sheepskin are lightweight, soft and comfortable.

And Laura made several pieces of everything, not only Shi Lei's, including Shi Lei's father and brother-in-law, but also Colin was one each.

Laura also praised the sheepskin produced in the pasture, saying that it retains the soft leather of the finest sheepskin and has a firmness like cowhide, which is very useful for leather products.

The production time of cowhide products is relatively short, so Laura just used cowhide to make a few simple belts. Of course, Shi Lei did not hesitate to replace his original one and replaced it with the one made by Laura herself.

For the material of this batch of cowhide. Laura also gave a high level of affirmation, saying that this is definitely the best cowhide.

With Laura's comprehensive affirmation, Shi Lei can rest assured, indicating that the transformation of these animals in the ranch has not disappointed Shi Lei, and has perfectly achieved Shi Lei's original vision, becoming an all-round champion who is a top product in all aspects.

Shi Lei also plans to give some of the newly produced beef to his friends around him, so that they can also feel the charm of these delicious dishes. However, Shi Lei will only send it out before returning to China, so as not to grind a pestering guy like Alexander again.

Master Kane? Liu, of course, Shi Lei didn't forget it. These were regarded as New Year's gifts, and they were delivered to the master early along with some other gifts, and in a difficult way, they stayed at the master's house with Laura for a meal before returning.

In addition to these things that not only satisfied his appetite for words, but also provided a lot of confidence for the development of the ranch in the future, Shi Lei felt that he had to prepare another gift for his father, that is, the ink treasure left by Old Man Huang last time.

According to what the old man said last time, after Shi Lei sent Laura, he took the time to take Mobao and went straight to L.A's Chinatown. There is already a festive atmosphere here, some places have hung blessing characters and Chinese knots, and some are simply full of red lanterns.

Shi Lei, a road idiot, inquired for a long time, and finally found Gu Yuexuan in a corner of the street. I saw the old man Hu who was weak in his name.

After silently reminding himself that he had to check the street scene of Brother Gu before going out next time, Shi Lei parked the car and walked over.

Since Old Man Huang has shouted Old Man Hu, it is obvious that this is also an old man of about the same age. When Shi Lei saw him. The image of this old man is really ......

Old Man Hu crossed Erlang's legs, lying on a bamboo rocking chair and swaying very comfortably, humming an unknown tune in his mouth. Holding a purple clay pot in his hand, he has to take a sip from time to time, and then continues to shake his head and enjoy humming a little song.

Shi Lei suddenly felt that this was another master, although he looked a little bit ruffian, but the overall image was still inclined to be chic and uninhibited to break through the world.

Shi Lei felt that it should be this right, the image is so similar to the old man Huang, so he walked up, and stood still in front of the old man very sensibly, he couldn't disturb the old man's Yaxing, I just hoped that the old man would take care of himself.

But what is this swollen tattoo on your hand? Well, tattoos are very common here, just a culture, and they don't represent anything. Shi Lei comforted himself like this.

But the old man, you hummed, "Beat the drum tightly and beat the gong slowly, stop the gong and listen to the drum, and all kinds of gossip also sing, listen to me sing eighteen touches." What do you mean? Don't think we have no culture, we know it.

Shi Lei couldn't help but take a closer look again, this comfortable old man who looked like the second uncle, although he looked like an old ruffian, he should be Gu Yuexuan's boss, yes, because Gu Yuexuan saw such a big living person in this land.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with this kid coming to me Old Man Hu? The old man opened his eyes and glanced at Shi Lei.

"Ah, yes." Shi Lei replied a little slowly, it seems that this is really a hidden master, he didn't look at it twice, and the other party felt it.

"Oh? What's up? Also, can you turn around a little bit before telling me anything? Your shiny belt buckle shines into my eyes. Old Man Hu's somewhat dissatisfied voice came.

Is this the case, Shi Lei has the feeling that he wants to gallop by.

"Oh, sorry. That one...... It was Mr. Huang Hansheng who introduced me, and I want to trouble you to frame a picture. Although Shi Lei complained in his heart, he still said these words very respectfully.

The person who can be recommended by Mr. Huang must have real skills, and the other party is really an elder, so the respect he should have must have.

"Oh? Old man Huang introduced you? It seems that Old Man Huang likes you very much, not bad. Come in with me, I'll show you what words, I won't do anything if it's not good, I'll explain it to you first. ”

After Old Man Hu finished speaking, he stood up from the rocking chair very easily, and took the lead in walking towards Gu Yuexuan.

"Old man, please look, this is the letter." After Shi Lei finished speaking, he carefully handed the words written by Old Man Huang to Old Man Hu.

After Hu Lao took it, he directly spread it out and put it on the big board table in front of Gu Yuexuan.

"Oh? It turned out to be written to you by Old Man Huang himself, it seems that he really likes you. The children are good, they have their own understanding of Lao Tzu's words at a young age, which is very rare. ”

Regarding the tone of the word "Lao Tzu" in Mr. Hu's words, Shi Lei still couldn't help but complain in his heart, you are the way I said it, what do you mean?

"Old man Huang must have tested your understanding of this sentence, it seems that you have a good idea, otherwise he wouldn't have written it himself." After Old Man Hu finished speaking, he patted Shi Lei on the shoulder.

Shi Lei, who was unprepared, was startled by this shot, the old man's hand strength is not small, fortunately, Shi Lei's skin is rough and thick, except that he feels that his strength is greater than that of the average old man, but he didn't give a real shot.

Shi Lei glanced at the old man thoughtfully, it seems that the old man Hu is really not as simple as it seems. However, Shi Lei didn't dig deeper, anyway, there is a relationship with Old Man Huang, and there must be no malice in this person.

"Well, the little guy is really good." Old Man Hu glanced at Shi Lei meaningfully.

"Since it's the old man Huang who wrote it for you, then you put the words here, and I will definitely frame it for you. I'll do it myself and frame it for you by hand. But this will definitely require half a month's work, are you in a hurry? The old man looked at Shi Lei and asked.

"Well, there's no hurry. Take your time, old man. Shi Lei immediately changed his mind.

Shi Lei knows that it takes a long time to frame by hand, of course, it is better, which shows that the framing master is more attentive, not to mention the old man Hu, who should be a very clever person, Shi Lei of course hopes that this will take as long as possible.

"It's not slow, my old man's hand is okay, you can rest assured. But I won't have to come and pick it up until the next year. If nothing else, you can go. "The old man has never been sloppy about craftsmanship, so he will start sending guests directly.

"Uh, thank you, old man, then I'll go first. Let's give you an early greeting. Shi Lei gave Hu Lao a fist, and then happily got in the car and went straight to Old Man Huang's house.

Shi Lei knew from Laura that Mr. Huang Hansheng and his wife lived in this Chinatown together, and since Shi Lei came over, there was no reason not to visit him.

Before Shi Lei set off, he prepared some beef and white chicken from the pasture, which were all vacuum-packed, which was regarded as a Spring Festival gift for the old man.

After Shi Lei saw Old Man Huang, he moved everything in, and Old Man Huang did not refuse, and accepted Shi Lei's gift with a smile.

After entering the house, Shi Lei told Mr. Huang about the things he went to find Mr. Hu to frame today, and Mr. Huang scolded with a smile, "This old immortal." Shi Lei had to pretend that he didn't hear it, he couldn't answer it.

Shi Lei still couldn't refuse the old man's enthusiasm for this meal, and stayed to eat with the old man and grandma. Of course, it is still Shi Lei, a junior, who can go to the kitchen.

The old man was still impressed by the deliciousness of the few dishes made by Shi Lei last time, and this time he saw that Shi Lei brought all the ingredients from the ranch, so he asked Shi Lei to show his cooking skills again.

Shi Lei, who has the intention to please the two old men, is of course obligated to do so, and by the way, let the two of them help evaluate the quality of these ingredients produced in the ranch.

After chatting with the two old people for a while, Shi Lei said goodbye to the two old men who satisfied their appetite, drove in the car to pick up Laura, and went back to the ranch together.

Before going home for a reunion during the Spring Festival, Shi Lei still has the most important thing to determine, and it is also a gift that all family members are looking forward to the most when he returns home during the Spring Festival. (To be continued......) R1292
