Herod!

The two horses stopped one after the other.

White gas was constantly spewing out from the nostrils, and it was obvious that the two horses had been running for a long time, and it could be said that they had reached the limit of their physical strength, and after stopping, they didn't even want to shake their tails, but just gasped rapidly.

Merika waited for Zhang Chi to catch up, and said with a smile: "Your riding skills are good, I can't get rid of you."

Zhang Chi replied with a smile: "Don't put gold on my face, if you want to get rid of me, I will get rid of it a long time ago, and your horse is not suitable to ride, it is not your own horse, and my Red Flame Mountain is not only my daily ride, but Canon also made me a saddle during this time."

Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the ability to follow you and eat ashes."

Zhang Chi is telling the truth, at the beginning, Zhang Chi could still keep up with Merica's steps, but the level difference between the two is really a bit big, you can't expect yourself to study for a year, and catch up with the strict equestrian training that Merica has received since she was a child, then you are disrespectful to the profession.

Merika heard Zhang Chi say this, so she said, "I didn't expect you to have a good heart."

"I have a fart, I know that my level is better than a few months ago, but compared to the cowboys, it is far behind, my efforts this year will catch up with the level of others for more than ten years, and I look up to myself too much.

Okay, this horse is almost gone, and we ourselves are sweating for a year, so let's go back early," Zhang Chi said.

Merica, too, had had enough, nodded, and the two rode their horses in the direction of the stables.

It was originally the way back, so the two didn't walk long before they came to the door of the stable.

Lead the two horses in, first remove the saddle sweat pad, and then wipe the sweat on the horse's body with a warm towel, if the horse catches a cold, then there is a look, as long as the sweat is not cleaned up immediately, the horse will catch a cold.

After wiping the horse's hair with a warm towel, they wiped it again with a dry towel, touched the horse's hair with their hands, and felt not too much moisture, and tried it under their armpits or something, and then wrapped the two horses in their coats, and finally put the horses in the stables.

"Do you want two tigers?"

"Don't worry about them, take care of yourself, hurry back to the house and take a hot shower and change into dry clothes."

After saying that, Zhang Chi took the lead out of the stable, and after watching Merica come out, he closed the stable door, and then trotted all the way in the direction of the house.

Zhang Chi ran ahead, and Merica followed closely.

ran into the house, closed the door, Zhang Chi saw that the firewood in the fireplace was almost burned, so he went outside to take a bundle of firewood and held it in his hand and returned to the house, and continued the firewood for the fireplace.

The two of them have been crazy in the snow for a long time, don't underestimate horseback riding, especially this kind of sharp turn and stop, it is really physically exhausting, anyway, Merica doesn't know how, but Zhang Chi's clothes have been attached to his body, which is very uncomfortable.

No matter how uncomfortable Zhang Chi was, he also knew to let the lady come first, so he told Merika to let her take a bath first.

Merica was not polite, the clothes she carried were put in the car, and after taking the clothes, she went into the bathroom, and Melica took a look and knew how Zhang Chi's things were used.

After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, Merika saw Zhang Chi squatting in the living room and choosing beans, so she put the changed clothes back in the car and turned around and went into the house.

"I'll pick the beans, you go in and wash them."

"Okay!"

Zhang Chi couldn't stand the sticky feeling on his body now, and threw down the beans in his hand and went into the bathroom.

fo

A big man taking a shower for more than ten minutes is equivalent to a marathon, like Zhang Chi, he is generally drenched in water for 20 seconds, soaped for 20 seconds, and waited for ten or so seconds to rinse with water, and it is always over in two or three minutes.

When Zhang Chi came out of the bathroom, he found that Merika had already picked a large pot of beans, and when he saw such a situation, Zhang Chi said in his heart: It's broken!

When I got closer, I saw Merika choosing beans one by one.

"Hey, sister! Don't you choose beans and don't look at worms? Zhang Chi said with a wry smile.

"Will there be worms?"

Merika didn't expect that there were insects in the beans.

"This bean has not been medicated, and it has not been treated, of course there are insects that grow naturally" Zhang Chi said to Merica, threw the towel in his hand, squatted down in the basin and began to pick it up.

"Don't choose, so much is enough, there are only two of us in total, the fish alone is twelve catties, just get some of these side dishes," Zhang Chi said.

"If you eat it today, you can eat fish jelly tomorrow," Merika said.

"Hey, you really live as a China expert, you have to eat fish jelly until you eat fish" Zhang Chile said.

Merica said, "Of course I know. Is there anything else to choose from? ”

"No, no, you can rest" Where does Zhang Chi dare to let it choose vegetables again, just now this pile of beans, Zhang Chi has to rework and pick out the worms in the beans.

Merika walked around the house, didn't even see a TV, and felt that there was nothing to play for a while, so she turned to Zhang Chi's side.

"What pot are you going to stew in tonight?"

There is nothing to say, there is such a big iron pot under the porch, you can't use the big pot to replace the small pots in the kitchen, with that thing, three pots can't cook the fish brought by Merica.

"There is an iron pot in the corridor," Zhang Chi replied.

Merica said, "I'll go and move it back into the house."

"What to do with it, let's eat directly outside, and we're not afraid of the cold around the pot. Guan Jian moved it into the house, what if it was poisoned, I didn't dare to pack the ticket," Zhang Chi said.

Merika thought for a while, and then said, "Then it's up to you, if you want me to help with the following things, if you don't help, I'll be busy with my business."

Zhang Chi said in his heart: With your help, then I might as well be busy myself.

So he said, "You are busy with yours, and there is nothing to be busy with in the future."

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Merica went back to the car and got the notebook, and went straight to the dining table to deal with business.

Zhang Chi passed the beans twice, picked out more than a dozen beans with insects, and then put the beans in water to clean.

Put the washed beans aside, peel the potatoes, cut them into hob pieces, take out the tofu, cut a small piece, and put the remaining tofu directly in the basket and hang it outside to make frozen tofu.

found a handful of fresh red peppers, a handful of small green peppers, shallots and garlic and other things were also ready, and Zhang Chi began to kill fish.

The twelve-pound big carp, it is not possible to kill it directly, you have to use a hammer to shine it on the door of the head, and it is easy to kill it if you knock it out.

After taking the fish out of the box and throwing it directly on the snow outside, after letting the fish jump a few times, Zhang Chi walked to the fish with a hammer and came to the brain shell for a moment.

Winter!

The fish stopped moving for a moment.

Brought back to the porch, copied the knife at the head and tail of the fish, and gently patted the fish meat with the blade of the knife, and pulled out the tendons on both sides, so that the fish scales were cut open to the fish belly.

Zhang Chi found that the fish belly was actually full of fish roe.

Zhang Chi liked this thing very much, so he immediately took a bowl and put the fish roe in it, except for the fish fat, everything else was thrown outside as garbage for a while.

Deal with the fish, Zhang Chi hit some flower knives on the fish, and marinated them with salt and a little cooking oil for a while.

Taking advantage of the pickling, Zhang Chi patted some garlic, cut a little ginger, and stopped the shallots, of course, coriander is indispensable for boiling fish, Zhang Chi loves to eat coriander.

"Do you eat coriander?"

Some people don't like to eat, so Zhang Chi asked Merica.

"I'm okay with anything," Merica said.

Hearing this, Zhang Chi continued to work.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the fish was almost marinated, Zhang Chi grabbed the flour and patted it on the fish's body, so that the fish was all covered with flour.

The next step is to make a fire.

Light the alcohol cube first, and then stack the cracked firewood, leaving a certain gap between the firewood and the firewood, so that the wind can pass and the fire in the stove will be bigger.

Waiting for the fire to catch up, Zhang Chi slid the pot with oil first, and when the pot was hot, scooped out the oil from the pan, and put cold oil in the pot, then grabbed the head and tail of the fish and put the fish in the pot.

Multiply...... Hoo!

The body of the fish combines with the oil in the pan to make a sound that makes a heartwarming sound.

Because of the flour, the skin of the fish does not break, and when the fish is turned over, the fried side has already taken on a little brown, and some of the flour attached to the skin has been blistered.

This is at its best, as these bubbles absorb the soup and the skin is delicious.

After the fish was fried on both sides, Zhang Chi pushed the fish slightly to the side with a spoon, and began to fry the fish with the fried fish, ginger and garlic can be put in it at this time.

Wait for the fragrance to come out, just put the water, the water is not over the fish, and then put soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and seasonings such as tempeh into the pan.

The whole fish soup is colored with sauce, cover the pot and start cooking.

When the fish boiled for a while and began to bubble up, Zhang Chi had already made a small pot of noodles, uncovered the lid of the pot and turned the noodles around the edge of the pot, which was the staple food of tonight.

At this time, all the side dishes of potatoes, beans, beans, and tofu are put into the pot, cover the pot and continue to simmer.

When the pot was steaming again, the aroma of the fish came out along the cracks of the lid and hooked the nose.

At this time, you have to change the heat to low and simmer slowly over low heat, so that the flavor can be stewed into the fish, and of course, the umami of the fish will also be stewed into the cakes along the side of the pot, as well as in the side dishes.

After simmering, the juice is collected on high heat, so that the fish soup becomes thick, which is the most essential part of a pot, poured rice, Zhang Chi can eat two large bowls.

"Merica! Eat".

Zhang Chi carried two chairs, placed them directly on the side of the pot, and beckoned Merica to come out to eat.

As soon as Merica went out, she said, "It's so fragrant."

When Merika's eyes fell on a bottle of liquor placed on the edge of the pot, she asked Zhang Chi, "Still drinking?" ”

"It's so cold outside and you don't drink some wine to drive away the cold, come, if you don't dislike it, put on this military coat."

Saying that, Zhang Chi put on his military coat and sat on the chair.

"Get me some wine too," Merica sat down next to the pot, thought for a moment and put her coat on her body.
