Chapter 11: The Dragon Tattoo
This party was the first time that Li Cheng had a close relationship with the cowboys after coming to the grizzly bear ranch, because considering the transportation factors and the reason why Li Cheng had just arrived, the cowboys' party was private, so they did not invite relatives and friends in the town, or nearby ranchers to come over.
These are not in a hurry, the so-called "outside must first be inside", Li Cheng's strategy is to take down five cowboys, so that they are all together, so that the ranch can be on the right track, through this taming of red rabbits, hunting grizzly bears, Li Cheng has been recognized by the cowboys.
If it is only the cowboys who are higher in power, money, and status, they can't actually be wooed, and sometimes there are some perfunctory situations, and Li Cheng can't know that a hundred untrained wild horses can pick out a Mongolian horse Edward with excellent blood, a quartma Yianos with the temperament of a famous horse, and three quartem horses with medium potential, and a sweaty BMW Chitu with the bloodline of Akhal-Tejin horses.
It can be seen how big the cat is in it, which indirectly cheapens Li Cheng, I don't know how much surprise the old Pique has hidden for him.
At around 8 p.m. local time, the ranch living area is as bright as day, everyone sits around the campfire and enjoys the food, the long table is filled with a variety of delicacies, using a buffet barbecue situation, beer, wine, brandy, vodka, whiskey and all kinds of alcohol.
Dishes on the table include pan-seared black pepper cod, steak, caviar, foie gras, fruit platter, and a plate of fish head covered with fiery red peppers that whet the appetite and mouth-watering cowboys.
Despite the difference in food culture, cooking is something that brings happiness to people, and a large plate of chopped pepper fish head was snatched up by Lao Pike, and Li Chengdu didn't have time to taste it.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat it? Why didn't you leave me some after eating it all, I don't know if I don't have a lot of chili in stock? Li Cheng couldn't help complaining.
Old Peake ate with his mouth full of oil and sweat, and said indistinctly: "Cheng, if the peppers are not enough, I will have someone bring them from the town." ”
"Please, this is my secret chili, it's going to be pickled for a long time, forget it, if there is a quality haode chili, bring it over, I'll pickle it together, and there will be authentic Chinese cuisine for you to eat every day." Li Cheng didn't feel sorry for the pickled chili, but just said that, thinking of the frenzy that a certain domestic seasoning entered foreign countries not long ago, Li Cheng felt that white people were not averse to spicy food, but whether they could catch their taste buds. Mao's Hunan restaurant can shine in Saskatoon, which shows that Canadians are not disgusted with Hunan cuisine, but on the contrary, they accept this kind of Hunan cuisine based on heavy taste.
"If you don't open a Hunan restaurant in Calgal, business will be good." Li Cheng muttered to himself, but saw that Noah had been busy roasting the whole sheep next to the bonfire, and his focused appearance made Li Cheng extremely curious about this Indian-style roasted whole sheep, and he had been roasting for an hour.
"Noah, what are the characteristics of your roasted whole lamb!" Li Cheng took a glass of beer with ice, walked over, and said curiously when he saw Noah sweating.
"Xiexie, our people's roasted whole sheep will be roasted in wood, the original flavor, will not add any seasonings, in our opinion, roasted whole sheep is a gift from the supreme god Itchana, so in the whole roasting process, I dare not slack off." Noah said that Itsana was the supreme sun god in the religious beliefs of the Indians! Of course, they also have totemic beliefs.
"Then I'll wait until I get the gift from Itsana, and I won't bother you." Li Cheng respects everyone's faith very much, for example, Old Peake is a Christian, a God of faith, and Noah believes in Itchana, what about Li Cheng? Of course, our great Grandpa Mao!
People with different cultural beliefs, but it does not prevent them from becoming friends, Li Cheng feels that Noah's way of making roasted whole sheep is actually similar to that of Mongolia, if there is a difference, that is, Noah's method is more pure.
After all, now the roasted whole sheep in China has been sinicized a lot, and some of the original ways have been lost.
Tasting wine and eating food from different countries, everyone enjoyed it very much, not to mention that in the grizzly bear ranch, the air was fresh at night, the climate was suitable, and everyone was chatting about all kinds of interesting things.
The white people's favorite is yellow jokes, and Li Cheng also said some Chinese-style yellow jokes, which caused everyone to laugh like courtship, men, no matter what race, it is normal to be lustful.
"Cheng, I didn't expect the Chinese to be keen on this kind of discourse, I always thought that you Chinese were all ......"
"People who don't have humor cells, right?"
"yes!" Deku bluntly said that in Calgary, Chinese tourists account for the majority, so Deku and other cowboys have also met some Chinese, probably because of the language barrier, so that they can't really understand the Chinese.
"Friend, the reason why Chinese people make you feel wooden may be because of language, and another point, that is, Chinese people generally rarely open their hearts to strangers, if you become friends, you will find that Chinese people are still quite interesting." As a Chinese, Li Cheng naturally wants to say a few words for the majority of compatriots.
Deku nodded and said, "yes, just like us." ”
"Yes!"
"Cheers!"
Noah's hard-working roasted whole sheep was finally baked, he took out a saber and slipped it neatly, and after Li Cheng drank with everyone, he came over and said, "Noah, it's hard work, your knife is very special." ”
"The Damascus saber, made of Uzi steel, has our Newint totem pattern on the surface, it was specially customized by me, and it cost 10,000 plus knives!"
"So expensive?" Li Cheng was a little surprised, it seems that the Damascus saber in China is only a few thousand soft sister coins, and 10,000 Canadian dollars is 5.8 times that of soft sister coins.
"Customized ones are generally much more expensive, but I have always loved knives, and I heard that Huaguo's Tang knives are good, and I have always wanted to collect one."
"Well, I'll bring one to you when I get home, but it seems that this kind of knife is difficult to take out of the country." Li Cheng didn't know much about the policy of controlling knives going abroad, and after going back, he checked it and found that it could be used for consignment, but not carry-on.
"Thank you so much." Noah slice a large piece of mutton, handed it to Li Cheng and said, "Taste it." ”
"Yes, yes, it's delicious, there is basically no smell of mutton, there is a faint smell of charcoal."
"Thank you for the compliment, but it's a pity that I couldn't eat the chopped pepper fish head you made, boss." Noah said with a little regret.
"Haha, there is time, I'll do it again tomorrow, everyone will be together for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance?"
"yes!"
A group of people began to grab roast whole sheep again, chatting and having fun wantonly, and the grizzly bear ranch was filled with a pleasant atmosphere, and Li Cheng's friendship with the cowboys became stronger and stronger.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone was full of wine and food, and went home with a somewhat heavy pace to wash and sleep, after all, there was still a lot of work to be done tomorrow.
The crisis of the grizzly bear has not passed, only a male and female, I don't know how many grizzly bears still live in the forest, and it is even more difficult for the grizzly bear to live alone, not to mention the intervention of the Environmental Protection Bureau, it is impossible to slaughter the grizzly bear with all its might, and it can only be passively defended, or when it is attacked by a grizzly bear, take proper defense!
Back in the villa, Li Cheng felt that the amount of alcohol had increased greatly, beer, wine, brandy, and vodka were mixed and drunk, and he still didn't get drunk, which couldn't help but be a little strange, there were too many abnormalities these days.
For example, the sudden submission of the fierce horse, the increase in the amount of alcohol, and the appearance of trays......
Like this, Li Cheng, who was dizzy in his head, and after the fatigue of the day surged up, Li Cheng took the ointment given by Noah in his hand and put it on the table, first went to the wooden barrel in the bathroom to soak in a beautiful bath, and then wiped this special ointment made by the Indian witch doctor, not to mention, the effect was good, and the feeling of dryness and heat on the inner thighs disappeared a lot.
Li Cheng, who was naked, caught a glimpse of a full-length mirror at the bathroom door and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Tattoos? Dragon tattoos? Or a dragon without eyes? Li Cheng tilted his neck, and saw the dragon tattoo on his back with difficulty, and under the steaming heat, a lifelike Chinese dragon was like the beginning, thinking of the allusion of "finishing touch", Li Cheng knew that the dragon weishenme had no eyes, and he was afraid that it would fly away.
"But I've never had a tattoo? And I haven't found this tattoo yet, could it be a tray? He felt that this dragon pattern was a bit similar to the embroidery in the dragon robe, and he was not sure, so he had to use his mobile phone to look in the mirror to see the whole picture, and he didn't even have time to put on the clothes, so he went directly to the Internet to check the information about the exhibits of the Hong Kong Spring Auction.
No. 88890 collection of Ming Dynasty Zhu Di Longzhang dress (partial), sold for 150 million soft sister coins.
"This is it! It's exactly the same, just missing eyes! Li Cheng said in Chinese, suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind, after a while, Li Cheng finally understood, it turned out that he had absorbed the dragon qi when he got the tray, and obtained the qualification to enter the crystal maze, and he went in once last time when he was in Saskatoon, but for some reason, he forgot it for the time being, and now he thinks of Li Cheng, who is in a cold sweat.
"It's incredible, the tray actually has this kind of magical liliang, which can let me enter the different dimension, I shouldn't have sold it!" Li Cheng regretted a little, he chose to sell the tray because he forgot to enter the space, and he recalled that experience again when he was already in the boat, but what was the use?
Trays have now changed hands, and the auction company does not disclose the information of the tray owner in order to ensure the personal safety of customers.
Li Cheng, who calmed down for a while, thought to himself: "Since I already have this dragon tattoo, it means that the mysterious liliang in the tray has been activated by me, so it doesn't matter if there is this tray or not, and besides, the color of the dragon robe in the tray has not changed, it should be this reason." ”
Li Cheng, who relieved himself a little, sorted out his clues, and was no longer sad and annoyed about the tray that was auctioned out, and this money was very important to Li Cheng.
Space, he doesn't know what the purpose of that space is, and it is still unknown whether he can enter it again! The crystal space of hundreds of square meters is like a dungeon, and he doesn't want to be a frog at the bottom of the well!
Li Cheng, who came to the mirror again to watch the tattoo on his back, found that the dragon had long since disappeared, and the slippery back did not have the tattooed dragon pattern in the photo at all.
"By the way, does it seem that there is a kind of tattoo that only appears if certain conditions are met? Is it soaking in hot water? But how do you get back into the Crystal Labyrinth? Li Cheng, who had no clue for a while, was a little glad that if the tattoo had to meet certain conditions, then there was no need to worry about being seen by outsiders, after all, in the eyes of the Chinese people, the tattoo is not a sign of a good person, mainly because he is afraid of being seen by his parents.
"Forget it, there are a lot of Canadians with tattoos, and the special forces in the army are popular tattoos or totems or the like, this dragon pattern is very bluffing in public baths!" Li Cheng haha smiled, quite a bit of self-amusement.
The problem of the dragon tattoo is completely clear, in the final analysis, it is the incident caused by the dragon robe tray, which has no impact on Li Cheng, but he doesn't know how to enter the crystal maze again, he feels that this space is not simple, and there will be unexpected gains.
