Chapter 267: Appetizers
"If the shrimp are easy to catch, then catch a little more, and don't eat alone at night."
Zhang Chi tried it, and Shinya also fished out a net of shrimp, so he said to Lao Xu.
Lao Xu thought it was a reason when he heard it, so the two began to fish, shrimp are really easier to catch than fish, these shrimp like to gather, even if half of them run away, there is still the other half.
It didn't take much effort for Zhang Chi and Lao Xu to catch half a bucket of shrimp.
"Enough is enough, it's enough to eat one or two of this thing, even if it's enjoyable, how can you be full" Lao Xu immediately asked Zhang Chi not to fish.
Over the past few days, Lao Xu himself is a little embarrassed, his own workers have eaten at least three cows here, you must know that the workers' food is his own, not Zhang Chi's obligation to supply.
"The Last Net".
Zhang Chi raised his hand and poured the shrimp from his net pocket into the bucket again.
He stretched out his head and looked at it, and then asked, "Is it really enough?" It doesn't seem like much."
"It's enough, you can't have a plate of shrimp per person, it's not full, and there is no such way to eat in the big canteen of the public, three or four per person, just try it, it's not easy for you to grow so many shrimp in this small pond" Lao Xu said.
After catching one fish and half a bucket of shrimp, Zhang Chi and Lao Xu decided to end today's fishing activities.
The two went ashore, glanced at each other, and found that they were all wet pants, wearing pants at this time, isn't it unpleasant to find, wet pants fork with dry pants, isn't that nonsense.
Take off your pants and wear them directly? This...... Looks like it works.
Anyway, there is no problem for Zhang Chi, as for the old Xu Ken's refusal, Zhang Chi didn't care, so he found a bush, Zhang Chi got into it with his pants, and when he came back, Zhang Chi was tying his pants while humming a little song, on the branches of the bushes, Zhang Chi's big pants were flat, like a small flag of victory.
Lao Xu saw Zhang Chi come out, thought about it, gritted his teeth, and finally got into the bushes with his pants, changed his pants, and came out with wet pants in his hand.
"I haven't had a gap in years"
Lao Xu said with a sigh at Zhang Chi.
"A big man, what do you care about so much, just change it when you go back, don't tell me that you didn't bring a change of clothes," Zhang Chi said to Lao Xu with a smile.
Lao Xu nodded awkwardly: "I really didn't bring it."
"There's no way, I can't lend you the underwear, and there are no new ones at home, so why don't you borrow them from someone else?" Zhang Chi said.
Lao Xu didn't answer, and the two of them each returned with their wet pants.
Zhang Chi directly spread the pants on Chiyanshan's shoulders, while Lao Xu hid the pants.
When he arrived at the front of the house, Zhang Chi got off the horse, ran into the house to get something, and brought the big fish and small shrimp into the house, while Lao Xu returned to the worker's cooking car and handed over the remaining shrimp to Aunt Lu.
Zhang Chi carried his things back to the house, put them directly on the ground, and walked into the house.
Merika happened to come out at this time, and when she saw Zhang Chi's appearance, she was curious and wanted to ask, but when she saw the pants that Zhang Chi was carrying, she couldn't help but change the topic: "What, you went to catch fish and caught your underwear?" ”
Zhang Chi shook his pants in his hand and teased his daughter-in-law: "How is it, is it sexy or not?" ”
Merika said angrily, "Won't you look in the mirror yourself?" ”
"It's boring" Zhang Chi continued to walk into the house, and when he passed Merica, he threw the pants in his hand to Merica.
Merika's reaction was also quite complicated, seeing something flying towards her, she immediately flashed to the side, and when she saw what fell on the ground, Zhang Chiren had already run to the door of the room.
"You ...... yourself".
Before Merica finished speaking, Zhang Chi had already entered the house, Merica had no choice but to bend down and pinch the corner of Zhang Chi's pants, and lifted the pants from the ground, maintaining a very disgusted appearance all the way, and pulling the distance between the pants and her head to the maximum as much as possible.
When she arrived at the washing machine, Merika threw Zhang Chi's pants into the laundry basket, and after putting them down, she washed her hands properly, and muttered while washing: It's dirty!
Zhang Chi, who entered the house, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, the most important thing was a pair of comfortable and clean pants, and then walked out of the room beautifully.
At this moment, Merica was already sitting at the table and starting her own study journey, and when she saw Zhang Chi coming out, she asked, "Why, you caught such a little bit when you went to catch fish?" ”
In the past, whether it was Zhang Chi or Merika, there would be no less when they went to catch fish in the big river here, not to mention seven or eight, if Merica wanted to eat fish roe this time, then she would catch more, and she couldn't beat it without twenty or thirty.
Today, there is only one carp of three or four catties in the pot of fish, and some small shrimps, which really makes Merica a little unsightly.
"The fish is not very easy to catch, one by one, Lao Xu and I took off our pants and went into the water, and finally caught one, which was originally intended to be tasted by the workers, but now we have to give up," Zhang Chi said.
Merika listened and said, "You two are also incompetent, and you still complain that you are too shrewd to catch a few fish!" ”
Merika doesn't believe in any fish too shrewd nonsense, she thinks that no matter how shrewd the fish is, she can still be shrewd?
In Merica's opinion, the two big men must have gone crazy with water, and finally made an excuse that the fish was too shrewd, and then this became an excuse for not being able to catch the fish.
As for whether the two men will really play crazy, Merica has no doubt at all, no matter how old a man is, sometimes he is still a child, if you don't believe it, catch a few forty or fifty years old, throw them into the Internet café and let them black, and shouting will not lose to the young man.
"I see," Merica said.
Zhang Chi suddenly remembered the grand scene he saw with Lao Xu today, so he said to Merica: "I also encountered an incident with Lao Xu today, that is, when you look at the water surface from a certain height, you will find that the water on the surface of the water seems to have disappeared suddenly, and the fish in the water seem to be floating in the air, which is very beautiful."
Zhang Chi was very excited, but Merika looked at Zhang Chi indifferently, as if she thought what you said was interesting.
"How?" Zhang Chi asked.
Merica said, "You just found out? ”
"Well, you found out a long time ago?" Zhang Chi was a little puzzled.
"I've seen this image when I've been very young, and as long as the water is clear enough and there's less particles in the air, it's easy to spot the lake vanishing technique," Merica said. There is time...... Oh, there's no chance, if you go deep into the mountains and forests on the edge of a big lake, it's very common."
In the end, Merika seemed to be a little thoughtful, and her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was about to fall into a memory.
Zhang Chi laughed and said: "When we have money, we will also buy a big house in the forest, and in the summer, we will take our children to escape the summer."
"No problem, we will soon be able to make this little wish come true together...... Oh, little target," Merica was intrigued by Zhang Chi's words.
Buying a mansion in the forest is really not a problem for the two of them now, the price of the mansion in the forest is much cheaper than the ranch, and no matter how big the mansion is, it is still the land.
There is no good scenery, good scenery.
No matter how well your house is built, it is impossible to sell it for a high price, just like if you build a palace on the edge of a volcanic crater, there are still not many emperors who dare to live in this palace.
For two or three million, you can buy a very good villa with a lake view in the woods.
It's just that this thing is affordable for the two of them now, but it doesn't mean much.
Although it doesn't make much sense, it doesn't hinder the two of them from imagining.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi began to clean up the fish and shrimp, the fish was scaled and cut into segments, and the fish segments were continuously connected, and they were salted together with a three-piece set of cooking wine to remove the fish, and the shrimp went to win the calf hair, and then used a toothpick to pick out the shrimp line at the second node on the back of the shrimp, and the shrimp was processed.
In the evening, he was going to drink some wine with Lao Xu, so Zhang Chi prepared some other side dishes, the main appetizer is still the same as the old three, salted peanuts, which is indispensable for drinking, in addition to peanuts, there are also chopped pepper eggs, salted duck eggs are also counted.
This is a cold dish, dry cut beef will naturally not be lacking, now Zhang Chi is not short of cattle, the best breed of cattle, in the gourd for so long, Niu Jianzi into the water, no marinade is added, out of the dry cut beef, is the original aroma of beef, that taste Zhang Chi likes very much.
In addition to beef, there is also beef offal pot, mainly tripe, and some beef hearts, and other things Merica doesn't like to eat, so Zhang Chi hardly adds it.
didn't think about how cold or hot it was, anyway, the three people who ate were Zhang Chi and his family, plus Lao Xu, there were no outsiders, everyone just ate at will.
Everything was almost done, Merika asked Zhang Chi: "It's a little strange today, if Lao Xu came early, why is it that it is getting dark from today to now, and he hasn't moved?" ”
Zhang Chi looked outside the room and nodded: "Really, what's wrong with this old boy today, I'll ask."
Saying that, Zhang Chi walked out of the house, and about 30 meters next to it was the future cowboy dormitory, and now the wooden frame of the dormitory has been erected, and two of the rooms are also sealed with waterproof felt cloth.
Now the workers are holding their own bowls and squatting in a random place to eat.
"What about you Mr. Xu?"
"Didn't look! I didn't seem to look at him much in the afternoon," the worker said.
Zhang Chi listened and asked Aunt Lu directly.
Aunt Lu listened, thought for a while and shook her head at Zhang Chi: "It's really good that I haven't seen him for a while, but I saw him once when I sent the shrimp over."
Zhang Chi listened and walked directly towards Lao Xu's car,
When he reached out to the side of the car, the door opened, and he saw Lao Xu lying on the back seat alone, wrapped in a piece of clothing, and the whole person rolled into a prawn shape.
