Chapter 41: Bearded Grass

"Taste it and see if it suits your appetite".

Zhang Chi handed a pair of chopsticks in his hand to Farmer Kan and motioned for him to try the two dishes he made.

Now there are a lot of people who can use chopsticks, Chinese food or improved Chinese food has become quite popular, and many families have holidays or something Chinese food may be their only choice to go out to eat, so many Americans have no problem using chopsticks.

Cannon picked up the chopsticks, and actually caught them on the table quite professionally, and put the two chopsticks to a level, and then stretched out the chopsticks.

He hesitated between the two dishes, and finally reached for the braised beef offal.

"I like spicy dishes, and this looks good."

Saying that, Cannon took a pair of chopsticks and put the tripe in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then said to Zhang Chi that it was good.

"It's ......".

"I know, it's tripe," Cannon said and explained to Zhang Chi the part of this thing.

Zhang Chi is still quite strange that Cannon can accurately say this part, but for Cannon, it is really normal, their hometown is poor, otherwise they would not have come to the United States to work as a black worker.

Some meat in poor places is already considered good to eat, but you still have to pick parts?

What do you think! Not only do you eat beef offal, but you won't lose any other parts, and tripe is very common.

Zhang Chi didn't have much curiosity, and when he saw that he had nothing to do with eating tripe, he didn't ask much, and stretched out his chopsticks to signal Cannon to try the grilled fish again.

Cannon tasted it and thought the grilled fish tasted okay, but he quickly fell in love with the variety of side dishes in the fish.

He had seen potatoes and onions for his own use, but he had never seen Chinese parsley, powdered skin, lotus root slices or anything else.

"What is this? I love the taste."

Picking up a piece of parsley, Cannon asked Zhang Chi.

"Celery!"

"No way, celery doesn't taste like this" Cannon shook his head, put the celery on his chopsticks to his mouth, and ate it deliciously.

There is also celery in the United States, but it is parsley, like celery, but the taste is very bland, and it is generally mixed with salad or something, and the effect is similar to our domestic coriander.

Zhang Chi's celery for grilled fish is an authentic Chinese variety, with a small stem and a big taste, in Zhang Chi's hometown, this is called medicinal celery, not to mention ordinary foreigners, and some Chinese people don't like the taste of such a rush.

"This is Chinese celery, it has a stronger flavor, if you like it, I'll bring you a bundle later," Zhang Chi said.

After saying that, he saw Cannon preparing to open the wine.

"You drink red wine?"

Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "Don't eat with red wine? ”

"If you want to drink then you can open it, I just drink beer, eating this grilled fish and drinking beer is the standard for us Chinese, drinking red wine skewers" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Cannon put down the red wine he brought in his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll also have beer, Chinese beer?" ”

Zhang Chi shook his head: "No! ”

I don't buy Chinese beer because it is not available in Chinese supermarkets, but because many domestic beers are industrial beers.

If you are used to brewing beer, it is difficult for people to get used to the taste of industrial beer, and there is no aroma of grain.

Two bottles of beer were opened, and the two blew directly into the bottles.

Zhang Chi is also very satisfied with his craftsmanship today, the grilled fish is quite in place, the fish skin is burnt yellow, it looks burnt but not mushy, most of the oil on the skin has been grilled, so the fish skin is not collapsed at all, slightly with a little toughness, and there is a slight burnt fragrance after the entrance, which completely covers the fishy smell of the fish.

After the burnt aroma, there is the aroma, the aroma of the side dishes, the salty freshness wrapped in a layer of soup, and the fat taste of the river fresh, this guy goes down with a sip of beer, and the taste is really amazing.

The braised beef offal is made to the average, because the ingredients are already semi-finished products, but for a foodie, the spicy is mixed with the aroma of beef offal, and it is still full of large pots, most of the beef offal and half of the soup, if you put it in China, which restaurant will not cook it for you.

The portion is so large and the taste is not bad, it is already difficult for people to ask for more.

The two chatted while eating, and soon talked about the topic to the ranch, and it is not surprising that a rancher and a cowboy can have many topics in common, and what else can they talk about besides the ranch?

You can't talk about girls, Cannon's age is almost enough to be Zhang Chi's father, the two of them talk about girls at this age, who can open their mouths.

"I finally know why you bought so many cows," Cannon said.

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: You know? I don't even know how you know?

thought so in his heart, but Zhang Chi's face didn't show anything, just a faint smile.

If Zhang Wu knew that his cousin was going to load coins, it was a pity that Cannon was not Zhang Wu, and he didn't know enough about Zhang Chi.

"I didn't expect the grass to be so good in this little pasture," Cannon said.

"Okay?" Zhang Chi is really a little puzzled now, he has sprinkled water, but where to start with this pasture, his own family is still a big weed.

How did Cannon know what Zhang Chi thought, he was a little excited when he said that the grass was over, he stood up and walked two steps, bent down and pulled a few blades of grass back to the table.

Zhang Chi saw the grass in Cannon's hand and felt that this grass was a bit like the dog's tail grass in his hometown, but the small spikelets on it were not fluffy, and this spikelet was not only small, but also a little bald, without a few seeds.

"You taste it!"

Cannon pulled a leaf from the grass stalk in his hand and handed it to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi was slightly stunned, then took the leaf, gently tore a small piece from the leaf, and put it in his mouth.

It's a little bitter, and it has a little astringent feeling, a bit like a little bitter green in China, Zhang Chi doesn't know what the scientific name of this dish is, anyway, people in his hometown call it little bitter green.

As soon as he thought of Xiao Kuqing, Zhang Chi's mouth was a little hungry, Xiao Kuqing roasted tofu, a simple dish, with the fragrance of tofu in the bitterness...... That feeling!

Uh, the conversation turned back.

"It's a little bitter, it's a little astringent, what's so special?"

As a novice rancher, Zhang Chi consulted Cannon in line with the principle that if you don't understand, you can do it.

Cannon said: "The cows like this kind of grass very much, have you noticed, this kind of bearded grass here is very thick, the leaves are also very fat, this growth is already an excellent pasture, you are really lucky, people say that weeds grow on this small pasture, I see where this is weeds, this is a fat pasture."

Zhang Chi didn't expect this kind of evaluation, although he watered the gourd water, but he didn't expect that this grass would grow into a good pasture grass in Cannon's mouth.

Looking at the half-pulled grass leaves in his hand, Zhang Chi was a little confused, and he couldn't digest the news at once.

Cannon doesn't know much about this ranch, he hasn't stayed in the original lion ranch, even if he has stayed in the cowboy, it is estimated that it must have been at least a few years ago, the previous rancher was rich, and he was not a professional ranch, so he didn't bother on the ranch.

The pastures rarely come, let alone a piece of land like Zhang Chi, which was originally a corner of the land. He doesn't come often, and the cowboy and the manager naturally know where to save their work.

There are fewer people next to him, this is someone else's place, and they come in and break the law, so the result is that everyone knows that this pasture is biased and the grass is not good, but what is it, the big guy has never seen it.

"Is it really that good?" Zhang Chi asked.

Cannon said: "Very good, of course, it can't compare to those pastures with good irrigation equipment, but as far as traditional ranches are concerned, your ranch is already very good, if you let others see this, it is really not what you can get at the current price." Now this ranch is going to be sold for at least 50% more."

Kanmin also came here last time, but when I looked at the flowers, the grass hadn't grown much yet.

Now Cannon feels that Zhang Chi has picked up a big leak, and no one is optimistic that there is such a great piece of grass on the pasture.

For the pasture, good pasture is the foundation of survival, and with such pasture, it saves more than half of the effort for Zhang Chi, the rancher.

When Cannon said this, Zhang Chi had to take a closer look at his ranch.

Zhang Chi didn't know much forage, he was originally a layman, he knew that it was alfalfa, ryegrass and other pastures, and he was blind.

Standing up and looking to the side, Zhang Chi finally saw that something was wrong, that is, the weeds that were messy on the ranch were no longer visible, and if he didn't look carefully, he was surrounded by the kind of bearded grass that Cannon said.

Zhang Chi couldn't figure it out, why had it only been like this for a few days.

In fact, the reason is very simple, as soon as Zhang Chi's gourd is watered, all the grass in the pasture begins to grow, but for the grass, there are always high and low, genetically determined, and the gourd cannot turn the grass into wheat.

If it grows at the same time at a certain time, it must grow faster and grow taller, because this grass can take up more space and enjoy enough sunlight.

The sunlight is taken up by the tall grass, so the short grass naturally cannot grow.

Without light, how can they continue to grow?

It's like growing in a forest, you find that the trees are almost all about the same height in the same wild forest, and that's because the short trees are blocked from sunlight and can't grow.

The same is true for grass, although it was only for a few days, and the gourd pulp accelerated this evolution, and the dwarf grass was eliminated because it could not photosynthesize without sunlight.

In the past, why this kind of elimination did not happen, it is because the climate here is cold, the grass grows slowly, waiting for the big whisker grass to grow taller, this autumn will come, just cover the dwarf grass, the big shun grass itself will be yellow and withered ready for winter.

Therefore, this elimination was not possible under natural conditions.

But Zhang Chi came with a gourd, which directly caused this acceleration, and the dwarf grass was naturally eliminated, and the whole pasture has now become the main forage grass.

"I really didn't see it!"

Returning to the table, Zhang Chi said.

Cannon said, "You're lucky! If the news gets out, the guys who bet you won't be able to hide this year will be disappointed."

"Not really."

Zhang Chi decided to give full play to the humble spirit of our Chinese and leave praise to others.

"Good luck!"

Cannon is really envious of Zhang Chi's luck, this kind of ranch has such a low price, and it is light to say that it hits the shit.
