Chapter 83: It's Snowing
The donkey was not put aside, and Zhang Chi, who came home, thought about what to eat at night, Cannon didn't have this problem, he made himself a salad at night, with the kind of hard baguette that can almost beat people, and a roast chicken thigh to solve the dinner.
Zhang Chi didn't want to eat this thing, especially the American-style grilled chicken thighs, he wanted to vomit when he smelled it.
When I went back to the house, I lit the fireplace first, and as soon as the small fire came up, I put a few firewood into it, and the whole living room was warmed up after it was burning.
Pulling up a chair, Zhang Chi sat in front of the fireplace and continued to think about what to eat tonight.
As soon as the house was warm, the second dog went into the house, leaned against the fireplace, licked his little paws, and engaged in personal hygiene.
The big cow and the second tiger will not enter the house, the reason is that Zhang Chi will not let it, the dog is a pet dog when it enters the house, Zhang Chi has a cattle dog, and the big cow and the second tiger are now covered with a thick layer of winter hair, and they are not afraid of the cold at all, so the outside is the safe place for the two dogs.
"Shall I eat you?"
Zhang Chi said to Ergou.
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Ergou listened to the scolding and stood up, walked to the other corner of the fireplace, lay down, and continued to do his work.
After thinking about it for a long time and not deciding what to eat, Zhang Chi got up and walked to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhang Chi saw the leftover rice from last night, and then remembered that he still had this thing here.
Yesterday I made a lot of rice, mainly because Cannon didn't eat it, Chinese food This thing Cannon can eat one or two meals, if you let him eat it every day, then he can't stand it, you must find a chance to nibble on that kind of bread that is dry like an iron stick, it is hard to bite, but he just likes it.
Many Internet celebrities abroad have been committed to promoting Chinese food, of course, why do they shoot videos instead of foreigners, but on domestic short videos.
The reason is known, listen to a foreigner: Chinese food is awesome! Delicious!
This is the traffic password.
Zhang Chi didn't mean to force Cannon to change, everyone should not be restrained, and no one would judge each other's food, which was a basic respect.
With rice, Zhang Chi thought for a while, then took out a piece of veal, a little green beans, and two eggs from the refrigerator, and pinched two small shallots from the basin on the balcony.
After a few flushes of the shallots on the water, the microwave made a clanging sound.
The veal melted, Zhang Chi cut the veal into small diced meat, put it in a bowl and added a little base, and put some salt and pepper to marinate it.
Frozen green beans are added with a little warm boiled water and slowly wait for them to thaw on their own.
Zhang Chi was about to cook here, when suddenly his mobile phone rang.
I walked over and picked up my phone to take a look, and found that it was Simmons calling.
"Hello, this is George," Zhang Chi said.
"Hi George, I'm Simmons," came the old man's voice on the other end of the line.
Zhang Chi asked, "Hello, I heard it, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Chi asked knowingly, what else could be the reason for Simmons calling, he must have thought about it for a while, and felt that those donkeys were not easy to sell for a while, so he decided to sell them to himself.
Sure enough, Simmons on the other end asked, "Do you still want to do those donkeys?" Two hundred dollars I accept the price."
Zhang Chi didn't want it originally, but if you think about it, two hundred dollars is a good price, and it is more than two hundred dollars to kill and eat meat.
Why should you be a person who doesn't want to worry about money, isn't that stupid?
"Yes," Zhang Chi said.
"Then you can come over later," Simmons said.
"I'll go over right away," Zhang Chi said.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi rode up the Red Flame Mountain to find Cannon.
Cannon is now in the cowshed, all the cattle are now spending the night in the cowshed, Cannon's work is very hard, he has to get up several times a night to add fodder to the cows, and his job during the day is to shovel cow dung, in short, it is the time for the pasture to work in the morning.
"Let's go, Simmons' donkey is sold," Zhang Chi shouted at Cannon, who was working in the cowshed.
Cannon smiled and replied, "Simmons is really a donkey, he didn't sell it at the time, and now he sells it again, and it seems that the price is lower."
In addition to Zhang Chi, no one here will ask for these donkeys, in addition to Zhang Chi, of course, there is another choice, that is, second-hand dealers, but the price they offer will not be much higher than Zhang Chi, and Simmons has no time to spend on second-hand dealers now, so Simmons and his wife thought about it, and finally decided to sell it to Zhang Chi, first, to save worry, and secondly, there is no need to go to the bank to redeem checks.
"It doesn't matter what price they give, let's get a few donkeys back," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Cannon happily went to the stable at the west end, put on his horse, mounted his horse, and followed Zhang Chi along the horse path to Simmons's house.
When I arrived at Simmons' house, I found that Simmons and his family had a few ranchers and cowboys who knew each other helping to pack their luggage.
It seems that these two are ready to leave tonight.
"George".
"Mrs. Simmons" Zhang Chi responded with a smile, and took out two hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Simmons.
Mrs. Simmons took the ticket and said to Zhang Chi, "Those donkeys are now yours."
Zhang Chi smiled.
"If you need anything, take it yourself," said Mrs. Simmons, gesturing to something on the ground.
There are really a lot of things on the ground, and almost half of the things taken out in the afternoon have not been sold, and the most are those small household appliances.
However, Zhang Chi was not interested at all, and Cannon picked a few when he arrived.
"Leaving today?"
Zhang Chi and Simmons were polite.
"Leave tonight, and tomorrow the new owner will come," Simmons said.
There was no yearning for Florida in the words, but it was full of reluctance, and he kept looking at the ranch when he spoke.
Zhang Chi can understand the mood of Simmons and his family at this moment, anyone who leaves the place where he has lived for decades will be reluctant to be nostalgic.
There is no way for the old couple, because they are old now, and the income of the ranch has not been sluggish over the years, so it is better to sell the ranch and change to a warm place to retire.
The income from selling a ranch is enough for the old couple to buy a small farm in a warm place and enjoy their old age.
Zhang Chi and him have nothing to talk about, not to mention anything else, just look at the age, after saying a few words, Zhang Chi and Cannon drove the donkey home with a few small household appliances picked by Cannon.
The donkey is not very easy to drive, and the journey is a clean thing, and the whip is sometimes not very effective, or there is a word for stubborn donkey.
Zhang Chi and Cannon could only rush around and put a few donkey uncles comfortable.
As soon as I got out of the road, I arrived at the gate of the ranch and began to see snowflakes in the sky.
"The snow is finally falling"
Cannon stretched out his hand, caught a snowflake, watched it disappear in his hand in an instant, and said to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi snorted: "Yes, after holding it for several days, the first snow of this year has finally fallen."
Since two days ago, the weather forecast said that there was snow, and there was no movement for several days, God has been gloomy, and he looked like Lao Tzu was going to snow, but no snowflakes fell, and today it was finally decided to snow.
The two drove the donkey into the pasture.
"Do you want to send it to the cowshed?" Zhang Chi looked at a few donkeys and asked.
Cannon thought for a moment: "Forget it, throw them out tonight, it's not in the way, it's only a few months, and it's not the coldest time yet."
Zhang Chi asked: "This snow is falling, and it will be cold tonight."
"Don't worry about them," Cannon laughed.
If there was Cannon, Zhang Chi rode up Chiyan Mountain and returned to the cowshed with Cannon, and after setting up Chiyan Mountain in the stable, Zhang Chi returned directly to his house.
I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I continued the previous work, and Zhang Chi started to make fried rice.
After the rice was fried, he cooked himself a cabbage and tofu soup, and after it was ready, Zhang Chi took a bottle of spicy sauce and sat down at the table to enjoy his dinner.
Put the mobile phone on the table and set it up, Zhang Chi watched the video while eating.
The spoon picked a bite of fried rice, put it to his lips and was about to eat it, when suddenly he saw his mobile phone ringing.
Looking at the phone number, Zhang Chi was still a little confused, because it was written unknown.
I pressed the phone and continued to watch the video, but before my hand was retracted, the phone rang again.
"Who?"
Zhang Chi still answered the phone.
"George, it's me"
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little familiar, but Zhang Chi really didn't know who it was.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Chi asked.
"I'm Miller".
The person who spoke saw that Zhang Chi still didn't seem to remember who he was, so he continued.
"I am Miller, the son of Seliol".
Now Zhang Chi finally remembered that this was Seliol's second son.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Chi asked after a few polite sentences.
Zhang Chi and Miller don't have much intersection, let alone Miller, and Seriel are also general friends, but it's better than meeting and saying hello, and talking about friends, that's really not quite a big deal.
"Do you have a ...... at home? Yes...... There was ......"
I didn't know what it was for a long time, and Zhang Chi was a little anxious when he listened.
"What do you need? Say it slowly," Zhang Chi motioned to the kid to speak slowly.
"It's the treatment of children's cough, sugar water."
In this way, Zhang Chi understood, what this guy wants is cough syrup, this thing Zhang Chi has at home, not only Zhang Chi has it, many Chinese families have this thing on standing, in addition to this, there is also Banlangen, the reason needless to say everyone knows.
"What do you want this thing for?" Zhang Chi asked.
Miller said: "Yang has been coughing for a week, and the doctor has prescribed some medicine, but he is still coughing, I just chatted with a friend, and he said let me try this sugar water, saying that many Asian families have these, I want to buy it online, but it takes more than a week to receive it......."
Yang is Miller's son, and he is not about four or five years old this year, this Yang is different from Yang in China, this Yang means young, not a surname.
Xiao Yang was sick and coughed for several days, and the doctor said it was fine, but the parents saw that their son was coughing and gargling, and he naturally couldn't bear it.
"I have it at home, you can come and get it," Zhang Chi said.
