Chapter 40: A Treat

When driving past the supermarket, Zhang Chi went in and picked up a few beers, thought about it, and simply took the cart over and bought a few more, so that he could share them with the workers in the evening.

After eating a few meals, you have to say a little no, we are particular about people.

Carrying the beer in the car, Zhang Chi drove out of the supermarket.

As soon as he turned to the road, Zhang Chi heard someone calling himself, this place is also very crowded, if it is placed in the country, it may not be noticed, but whoever roars here, everyone will turn their heads to see if they call themselves.

"Brother Li, where are you going?"

It was Li Qiao who stopped Zhang Chi, that is, the enthusiastic big brother who helped Zhang Chi buy a car.

At this moment, Li Qiao is driving a Ford family car, and in addition to Li Qiao, there is a woman of about the same age in the car, and at a glance, you can know that it is Li Qiao's daughter-in-law.

"Let's go home, how about you? This is my lover Li Qin," Li Qiao asked with a smile.

Zhang Chi said: "I'll go home too, by the way, if you and your sister-in-law are okay, go to my side today, I made grilled fish at night, just so everyone has a good time."

After saying hello to Li Qiao's lover, Zhang Chi sent an invitation to the two.

Li Qiao shook his head: "There is really something going on today, my lover's classmates are coming to travel, we have to entertain their group, and I am preparing for you to come over together if you are fine."

"I'll also invite someone, you see this thing is done," Zhang Chi replied.

"By the way, how is Lao Xu's work over there?" Li Qiao asked again.

Zhang Chi said: "It's good, anyway, I can't find any reason, I have to thank Brother Li for this."

Lao Xu's gang of people really don't say it, the price doesn't need to be mentioned, and the work efficiency is also high, if you change the construction team, even if it is Lao Mo's construction team, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days of work to come out, but Lao Xu's gang of people got started, saving a lot of time.

It may be related to Lao Xu's preparation for the next project, but what does this matter have to do with him, what people do well is good.

"Then I'll rest assured, my sister-in-law said a few days ago that I'm afraid that you won't be satisfied with Lao Xu's work" Li Qiao couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang Chi say that he was very satisfied.

"How's the ranch going?"

"The cow has been bought" Zhang Chi said: "It's not bad now, just wait for this autumn to shiver, survive if you make money, and finish playing if you don't make money."

"I heard Lao Xu say that you bought a lot of cattle, a thousand cattle, can your ranch survive?" Li Qiao obviously talked to Lao Xu about this.

"I think it's about the same, it's cheap anyway, the calves that people have eliminated, it doesn't cost much to raise them here, so let's leave it at that" Zhang Chi didn't want to explain to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao is a warm-hearted person, and he was a little worried about Zhang Chi when he heard Lao Xu say this, but now that he heard Zhang Chi say this, he didn't have much to say.

The two stopped on the side of the road and chatted for a few words, and then went home.

Zhang Chi drove back to Amber Town, and found that the protesting crowd had not dispersed, but the cars on the road were not so blocked.

It's not that they are of high quality, but that there are a few police cars on the side of the road half-riding on the road to maintain order, otherwise it would have to be the morning.

Turning into the trail from the fork in the road, Zhang Chi returned to the ranch smoothly.

When I got out of the car, I found that Aunt Lu was pickling fish over there, and when I leaned over, I smelled the seasoning that I taught Aunt Lu.

"I don't know if it's right to learn and do it."

Seeing Zhang Chi coming, Aunt Lu smiled and pulled him to evaluate the fruits of her labor.

"It's upright," Zhang Chi praised.

After speaking, I remembered that I still had beer for everyone in my carriage, so I said to Aunt Lu: "It just so happens that I brought beer for everyone, and I drink beer while eating grilled fish at night."

"You bought it too? We just got to town and bought a beer and said we'd give you two."

Following Aunt Lu's hand, Zhang Chi found that there were several cases of beer under the side dish table of the small dining car, so he smiled and said, "Everyone still bought it."

"You keep it, anyway, this thing won't be bad if you put it on for a month or two," Aunt Lu said with a smile.

Then he said, "Why is this oven so big?" ”

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "If it was a little smaller, it would probably be snatched away, that is, such a big person would not be used at home, so it was picked up by my uncle."

Aunt Lu walked to the side of the car, looked at the stove and said, "This stove is the same as new."

"It's not like this when I picked it up, my aunt and uncle washed it for me, otherwise it's all greasy, and I don't know how the previous master used it," Zhang Chi said.

Aunt Lu said: "Your uncle and aunt are really good people."

Aunt Lu has lived for such a long time, what kind of person has not been seen, generally speaking, it is not strange to help her son do this, but to help her nephew pick up things and wash them cleanly, this character must be a kind person, I want to change to a sharp-brained person, let alone wash it for you, I won't bring it to you to pick it up.

"Get it down?"

"I don't dare ask you to help with this job!" Zhang Chi hurriedly stopped Aunt Lu, doing this job at her age, in case there was a case, Zhang Chi would have no place to cry.

Aunt Lu smiled when she heard this: "Okay, I'll find someone for you."

Aunt Lu shouted twice, and two middle-aged men came over and slid the barbecue grill from the back compartment along the gangplank with Zhang Chi.

The stove has its own wheels, and there are also bolt locks, if you want the stove not to move, press the bolts on the four wheels down, so that the four wheels are locked.

Zhang Chi's place is big, and five hundred acres can't put this thing?

Directly next to the RV, Zhang Chi fixed the stove and began to make a fire with the fruit charcoal given by the uncle.

"Aunt Lu, you don't need to start the stove anymore, put a stove here."

Zhang Chi shouted at Aunt Lu while lighting a fire.

"Swing down? Three of them on my side," Aunt Lu replied loudly.

"Swing down, one or two more, such a big guy," Zhang Chi said.

Hearing this, Aunt Lu came over with two fish after a while.

"This hearth is also too big, and it is not suitable for use at home, it is enough to open a barbecue stand" Aunt Lu saw Zhang Chi lift the lid of the stove and found that this big stove was not divided at all, a whole large strip, almost two square meters of area.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Maybe the previous owner bought it to roast the big guy, but he threw it out because he didn't think it was suitable for use."

This guy is big, ordinary people really don't need to bake a steak or something, generally speaking, it's okay to have this half of the size, this thing can roast a whole fat sheep, who has nothing to do with two roasted whole sheep in three days.

People have this habit of thinking about everything when they buy it, but when they buy it, they find that it is not practical at all.

Think for yourself, do you often do such things?

The charcoal fire started, and the grilled net was set, and Zhang Chi put his own fish and Aunt Lu's fish on the grilled net.

There was no open flame, but the carbon temperature was very high, and after a while, the fish began to make a sizzling sound, and the fat part of the fish belly began to produce oil.

Zhang Chi picked up the oil brush, began to brush a shallow layer of oil on the fish's body, and turned the fish over after brushing the oil.

Grilling fish is a delicate job, and it cannot be said that one side is cooked at once, because the fish is also thick and thick, and if it is grilled like this, the outside will be burnt, and there may be blood streaks on the inside.

You have to turn it over frequently, and after turning it over, let the outside temperature drop down, and the outside temperature will drop down, but the temperature inside will always be slower because of the poor conductivity of the meat.

As for what is delicious and juicy, forget it, this is not roast beef, when the fish has to be poured with juice and covered with side dishes, so the most important thing is not that the roast is juicy, and the fish has no juice for you to roast, but in the degree of doneness.

"You grill fish, I'll make side dishes here, do you have any requirements for side dishes?" Aunt Lu came over to look at it for a while, and felt that she couldn't intervene, Zhang Chi's kung fu of grilling fish was much better than herself.

There was nothing to do, so Aunt Lu volunteered to make side dishes.

"It's not a requirement, it's just cooked," Zhang Chi said.

"What about a pot of stew?" Aunt Lu asked.

Zhang Chi nodded.

The two of them separated, Zhang Chi grilled the fish, and Aunt Lu began to prepare side dishes.

The fish was still ripe, and Cannon's phone call came to say that the other man had arrived at the door.

Zhang Chi let him in, and Cannon opened the door by himself, and then drove to Zhang Chi's small RV and stopped.

Getting out of the car, Cannon had an extra bottle of red wine in his hand.

Generally, you always have to bring something with you when you visit someone's house, and red wine is the most common gift.

"The taste is wonderful".

Cannon came to the oven, sniffed the aroma of grilled fish, and praised Zhang Chi.

"You're here a little early, you can eat it later," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's early today," Cannon said.

When he parked the car, Zhang Chi had already noticed that there were some belongings in the back of Cannon's car, and there seemed to be blankets, pots and pans, which looked like moving.

For cowboys who don't have a regular ranch job, these things are always available, because many ranchers will provide food, but won't cook it for you, and generally cowboys eat everything by themselves.

The so-called package food and housing, and the country is not the same, not to say, eat that the rancher will prepare ingredients for you, but you have to do it yourself, as for hiring a cook, you can think too much, a cook's salary can hire cowboys, and the rancher is not stupid.

Putting down the red wine in his hand, Cannon began to help turn the fish, and Zhang Chi could also free his hands to make braised beef offal.

The offal is a semi-finished product, so it doesn't take much effort to burn it.

After about 20 minutes, a portion of grilled fish and a portion of braised beef offal were placed on the table.
