It was getting late, and the sun was only left with its afterglow on the horizon.

On the pasture of Zhang Chi Ranch, there is still a group of people surrounding the herd, these ranchers and cowboys, after watching for so long, are still full of curiosity about these black cows, and they refuse to disperse.

Lao Xu had a shy smiling face, listening to the old cowboys' conjectures about the cow with his ears pricked up beside him.

In Zhang Chi's view, this is very simple, just slaughter a head to know the approximate meat yield of the cow, and how good the quality of the beef is.

But a group of cowboys were embarrassed to mention it, and Lao Xu didn't know whether he couldn't think of it or was reluctant, so he didn't mention it. Zhang Chi thought of it, but he couldn't mention it, because these cows were still Lao Xu's assets.

Let Lao Xu kill the cow, then why didn't Zhang Chi become one of those people on the Internet, forcing others to lose money and use other people's money to fill his own generosity.

Zhang Chi stood at the door of his floor-to-ceiling window, clasped his hands to his chest, and looked at such a group of guys outside.

Merika felt that her husband was too idle, standing at the window and watching others watch the cows, it was really boring, so she poured Zhang Chi a cup of tea and brought it to Zhang Chi.

"Take a sip of water, it's been almost half an hour since you stopped," Merica laughed.

Zhang Chi took the teacup, took a sip, and accidentally drank a little tea import, so Zhang Chi spit it out, and said at the same time: "These people are idle, what is so beautiful about this cow, you have seen them all for an afternoon, and you haven't seen enough."

Poof!

Merica couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, she really couldn't understand that a person who stood by the window and watched others watch the cow for more than half an hour could still say such a thing.

"Alright, don't tease me, you and them," Merica smiled and walked back.

Zhang Chi listened, shrugged his shoulders at Merica, and looked outside again.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, do you say that I should also go into the mountains to look for cattle, if I find them, our life will be even better," Zhang Chi said suddenly.

Merika stopped, turned her head to look at Zhang Chi, and asked very strangely, "You want to find a cow?" ”

"Why can't I find a cow?" Zhang Chi was a little strange: "Do you look down on me?" ”

Merika shook her head and opened her mouth to say, "I just think this doesn't match your character, I think it's normal for others to go looking for cows, but you always feel a little strange."

Merika has always felt that Zhang Chi is quite calm, or that his desire for money is not high, at least not as high as ordinary people.

And the truth is just like what Merika said, if he didn't know, or if he didn't make it up himself, Zhang Chi really didn't have much interest in finding any cattle.

is still the same sentence, the gourd is in his hands, he feels that he has used up all the luck in his life, and there is no need to force the rest.

"Well, this group of people, fortunately in the United States" Zhang Chi didn't continue to say anything, but looked at the crowd outside, and suddenly said this.

Merica said, "What does it mean to be lucky in the United States?" ”。

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "You don't need to invite them to dinner, if you are in China, the main family will definitely have to be polite at this time, what to say, let's have a meal at home at such a late hour."

When he said this, Zhang Chi deliberately pinched his voice, using a woman's demeanor and tone.

Seeing her husband's appearance of playing treasure, Merica became happy again.

"Okay, okay, just eat a little bit of it," Zhang Chi continued.

"You see, I was almost cheated on by these guys again," Zhang Chi said.

Hahaha!

Merika smiled and stretched out her finger at Zhang Chi: "You, sometimes it's really annoying to talk."

With that, Merica turned around and went back to her room.

Zhang Chi followed behind and asked, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

"Stir-fry the beef with chili peppers, and cook the green vegetable and tofu soup, and you can make the rest of the dishes vegetarian," Merica said.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Zhang Chi took action.

Washing rice and cooking, waiting for the rice to be cooked, the ranchers and cowboys outside also began to leave Zhangchi Ranch one after another.

The green pepper was cut, the slightly frozen beef was also cut into slices, and the ingredients were marinated for a while, Zhang Chi was preparing to stir-fry the vegetarian dishes, and saw Lao Xu come in with a smile, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.

The wine is an old wine, some years old, and the packaging on the wine bottle is a little sauce-colored, and it was not a good wine back then, about a few cents a bottle.

But now, at that time, a bottle of wine for a few cents, and the ordinary wine that the public drank, three or four bottles of Moutai could not be exchanged.

In addition, the wine at that time was wine, and there was no high-tech and ruthless work, and the wine at that time was all made from pure grain, even if it was a small winery in the county, there would be no vain head.

"Let's get a few more dishes today, let's drink it!"

Lao Xu came to Zhang Chi's side and put the wine on the table.

Zhang Chi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Just one bottle is enough for anyone to drink, you know that my daughter-in-law can drink it."

Lao Xu glanced at Zhang Chi: "It's hard to find a bottle of this wine now, you think I have a lot of it, if I don't drink enough of this wine, I still have Yanghe and Tanggou."

"If you have it, you go to the refrigerator and take a look, I'll make what you want to eat in it, if not, I can't do it," Zhang Chi said.

Lao Xu opened the refrigerator door and looked at it, opened his mouth and said, "Today is such a festive day, how can there be no fish, or I will go to the pond to catch a fish?" ”

"You go to the pond to catch it, then it's better to go to the town and buy one, how can you catch this black light," Zhang Chi said.

The fish in the ranch pond are very fine and not easy to catch, so Lao Xu said that he wanted to catch fish, but Zhang Chi didn't have much hope for him.

Lao Xu thought about it for a while, weighed the pros and cons between eating fish and starting to buy fish, and finally decided to press down on the heart of eating fish.

"Forget it, let's have a scrambled egg with tomatoes. I said you have almost no seafood in the refrigerator, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go to the whole little octopus or something and put ...... in your refrigerator."

"It's different when you get rich, and your tone is a lot bigger," Zhang Chi joked.

Lao Xu laughed when he heard this.

He didn't defend himself, and the facts didn't allow him to say anything, everyone could see that Lao Xu was very flamboyant now, and he was a little underwhelmed.

Ordered two dishes, took the dishes out of the refrigerator, Lao Xu helped clean them, and left Zhang Chi to do it, as for cutting, Lao Xu has no ability to Zhang Chi, he can cook to deal with the full, there is no work, knife work? There is and there is no one.

Zhang Chi was cooking here, Lao Xu chattered beside him for a while, then went out of the house, and when he waited to come back, he had two more iron plates in his hand.

This is a thing on the food truck on the construction site, and it is much easier to use this thing than porcelain.

There are six braised rabbit heads on one plate, and on the other plate, it looks like a plate of dried chili peppers, but if you look closely, there are small meat grains.

"Got it all done?"

Lao Xu smiled and put the two plates on the table, and then rubbed his hands: "Of course, you don't see how long this has been, let's wash and peel this thing early in the morning, and we can't eat it yet, so when can we eat it?" ”

After speaking, Lao Xu continued to say to Zhang Chi: "Sister Lu is really a must to make this thing."

Zhang Chi smiled when he heard this: "Which one Aunt Lu does is not a must?" ”

Sometimes, Zhang Chi really admires Aunt Lu and Uncle Chen, they are so old, but they are not slower than young people in learning new things, and Aunt Lu's cooking skills are very good.

The only drawback is that the memory is a little bad when she is older, but Aunt Lu also has a solution here, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, every time she succeeds in making a dish, the old lady will write down the process and attach her own key points.

When you do it again next time, take out a small notebook and flip through it, and you will know how to do it.

Two rabbit dishes were served, and Zhang Chi did almost the same here.

The dishes were put on the table, and the three of them sat around the table.

The wine was opened, and the wine separator divided the one-pound liquor into three parts.

Lao Xu raised his glass: "Thank you for today's matter, thank you two, I will do it first as a respect."

After speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the cup.

Zhang Chi and his family knew that Lao Xu was happy, so they also drank half a cup.

I drank wine and began to eat.

Zhang Chi first sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat, tasted it and put down the chopsticks, this thing is said to be almost bad, said to be good or not, the level is medium, and there is no big difference from using beef.

Oh, and it can't be said that there is no big difference, the fiber of beef is coarse, but the same is not true of no-fat meat.

The rabbit head is really marinated in place, quite outstanding.

Merica couldn't put it down, as an American, she was more open to trying Chinese food than Zhang Chi.

Chatting and chatting, we talked about cows.

Lao Xu asked at the two of them, "What price do you say this cow can be auctioned tomorrow?" ”

"Who knows."

Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Auctions are not an accurate number for anyone to guess, but Zhang Chi estimates that this group of cattle can make Lao Xu earn at least 2890,000 yuan.

"Forget it, it's all for nothing" Lao Xu himself figured it out, and said to himself with a laugh.

"That's right, it's all earned for nothing" Zhang Chi touched a glass with him.

"Lao Zhang, the terrain is familiar here, I think you should also go to the forest to find it," Lao Xu said.

"You're interested too?" Zhang Chi asked.

Lao Xu said: "I want to, but now I just want to go in this situation, so someone has to be my guide."

Lao Xu was not dazzled, he knew that he didn't know anything about things in the wild, if he really should run into the wild forest stupidly for these cows, it would be to find death.

The forests here are very primitive, one is because the mountains are too complicated, but the forests in the western United States were almost never touched during the development of the West.

There are small towns like Amber in the flat mountains, but the more steep the mountain is, then there are no people, and once you enter, the kind of trees that cover the sky and the sun can block out the sun.

People like him who have no experience in the wilderness, in addition to asking for help, are waiting to die, don't look at these mountains in the United States, a few brave people don't die in this place a year, that's strange.

"I think you should go, you'll find the big herd!" Lao Xu said
