Chapter 290: Light Rain
Lao Xu came over to ask Cannon for a favor, and after the cutter farmer agreed, he was ready to leave.
When he turned around, he suddenly glanced at Zhang Chi and saw a sheep sitting under Zhang Chi's buttocks, at first he thought he was dazzled, who has nothing to do to sit on the sheep, this thing is not fragrant.
Hey, it's still fragrant when you eat meat, but forget it usually, even if you take care of the clean sheepfold, you can't get rid of the smell of these guys.
"What? Now it's all foreign, and if you don't sit on a haystack, you can change your career to be a live sheep? Lao Xu said to Zhang Chi, and then he was about to leave.
At this time, unlike other days, I immediately saw that it was going to rain, and the construction was also at the critical time, many of the four walls were towering, and there was no roof, didn't the rain soak it inside, this is not a big trouble, because the house is full of wood, if this is a draught, then the house will be repaired, so he is now in a hurry to go to work on the top.
"Don't go, eat sheep at noon!" Zhang Chi stopped Lao Xu.
Lao Xu didn't think about it: "It's not okay today, it's no problem for you to eat sheep and call me, but let me help you deal with the sheep It's really not available." Also, I ate lo mein at noon today, and the lo mein made by Sister Lu is very good."
"I'll go, Aunt Lu is about to become a village chef, and she can do anything," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Lao Xu snorted and immediately ran out of the stable.
Zhang Chi wanted to stop Lao Xu, but he didn't know what to stop him for, eat mutton? It's Zhang Chi's turn to call Lao Xu just to eat?
The main reason is that Zhang Chi doesn't want to take care of the sheep today, so he stopped Lao Xu, and Zhang Chi has something to do today, and he is about to go to the city to buy something.
Seeing the appearance of his boss, Cannon smiled and said, "It seems that everyone has eaten almost mutton, and a bowl of noodles actually defeated mutton."
"Who says it's not," Zhang Chi sighed a little.
But this fact is also normal, this side is the west, there is not much anything, that is, there are more cattle and sheep, beef and mutton are cheaper, but the price of vegetables is more expensive than elsewhere, especially the vegetables that we Chinese often eat.
At the beginning, Zhang Chi supplied unlimited beef, and Lao Xu was not embarrassed here, so he went to buy some sheep and pigs from time to time and came back to eat.
You often eat meat and it tastes greasy, so Lao Xu later bought vegetables and made them in the way of us Chinese.
But after doing it for a few days, Lao Xu found that it was not good, the price was too high, so he couldn't afford it every day.
Lao Xu's vegetables are all taken from Aunt Phil, who is in business and lives by selling vegetables.
Like Zhang Chi, she doesn't care if she has nothing to do to pick up some wool or something, but if dozens of people like Lao Xu work together, and the vegetables are sold cheaply, Aunt Phil will definitely not do it, because her dishes are wanted, why should she give them to Lao Xu at a discount.
Even if Aunt Phil is willing, Lao Xu is embarrassed, why is he receiving such a great favor from others for no reason.
So most of the time, the food on the construction site is Western food, beef and mutton are either roasted or fried, and then served with potatoes and broccoli.
The cost of food has come down.
Zhang Chi thought for a while, stood up from the sheep, stretched out his leg and kicked the sheep's chin: "Count your luck today, if you ...... Hum! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Chi untied the sheep's hooves.
As soon as the little lamb was freed from its bondage, it was immediately turned away.
Zhang Chi drove into the car and went to the city, and when he came back, he found that Merica had already taken the two cowboys back to the ranch.
The two Zhang Chi also know each other, both belong to singles in their thirties, singles are not uncommon in the cowboy industry, they take little money, and it is a little difficult to support themselves, let alone support their families, American girls did not grow up drinking fairy water, they don't need to eat, they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they naturally look at the economic foundation of men.
After meeting and chatting a few words, as the boss, Zhang Chi naturally didn't have to care too much about the feelings of these two as before, just throw it to Cannon.
At noon, everyone eats lo mein.
Aunt Lu's craftsmanship is good, anyway, Zhang Chi has never eaten normal lo mein, so as long as the taste is not difficult to swallow, Zhang Chi thinks it is good, not to mention that Aunt Lu's cooking is quite delicious.
Especially the small potato grains in the marinade, it is quite in place, it is not hard to say hard, the taste in the mouth is very unique, and the distribution of hard and glutinous is very ingenious.
Zhang Chi and Merika ate more than a pound of noodles with marinated seeds, and each of them had almost a few taels of noodles into their stomachs.
As for the workers, not to mention, a whole large bucket of brine and a few buckets of noodles were fished out by the workers and a few cowboys from Zhang Chi Ranch within half an hour.
The new cowboy came to the bucket with a bowl, stretched out his head to look at the braised bucket, and then looked at the bucket of noodles, and found that the bottom was dry, so he left a little disappointed.
"Jack, are you still eating?"
The companion who came with him, why did he think Jack was a little unproductive, although this thing is delicious, but you have eaten three bowls, and you still eat it, aren't you afraid of breaking your stomach?
Saying that, he couldn't help but stand up, holding the bowl in one hand and turning the belt with the other, the cowboys' belts were slightly wider than ordinary belts.
I didn't feel any pressure when I talked about people, but I forgot that I had eaten more than Jack.
I ate it in my throat, and I was embarrassed to talk about others.
Now that I have eaten too much, when I squat, I feel a little weak, so this one came out and tugged on his belt.
I pulled the belt and wanted to sit down again, but I thought it was better to stand.
"I'll take a look," Jack said casually.
He really wanted to eat another bowl of the cowboys' food, not pig food, but every day, all the cowboys on the Colorado Ranch were tired of eating them.
It's all those dishes that have been going on for years, do you think the people who eat them want to go crazy?
If you want to improve your food, I'm sorry, the ranch's canteen is not your hotel, you can order food, and if you want to eat something special, you can only eat outside.
Jack and the others just came over today, thinking that they were frying steak or something when they landed, who would have thought that it didn't match the steak at all, and they actually ate Chinese noodles.
Before eating, I was curious about what this Chinese noodle tasted like, but after the noodles were fished into the bowl and Ms. Lu deducted a spoonful of marinade from his bowl, Jack fell and thought that this thing was much better than pasta.
Sucking and sucking, sitting with everyone, everyone has no formal place, where they can sit conveniently, holding the bowl in one hand, and holding the fast child in the other.
In the first bowl, Jack wanted to learn to eat a clove of garlic like some Chinese, but when he took a bite, he gave up this stupid idea, he really couldn't taste raw garlic.
After eating, the two got together.
Although the two are not social terrorists, but now that they have arrived in a new environment, they are naturally a little restrained, and at this time, Cannon is counting items with Zhang Chi, Brian is working with the workers, and the two newcomers don't know what they should do.
But after a while, the two of them began to help the workers do some chores, and as soon as this work started, everyone naturally became more and more enthusiastic.
In the evening, the sun is going down, and it is time to eat, and the evening meal is still the noon lo mein.
Jack and the two happily shook off their cheeks and ate.
When it was time to finish eating, seeing that the workers were working again, the two naturally went to help.
However, the two of them are very strange while working, because the construction workers they met are all masters who leave work at the end of the day, you think people can't stay for a while, why are these Chinese so diligent?
At eight o'clock, Lao Xu came over and asked Jack and the two to rest.
Lao Xu not only let the two of them rest, but also took out some money for the two of them, this is the rule, whether you ask someone to work here, or invite a friend to work, you have to count the money, others can not do it, but you can't not give it.
Lao Xu obviously didn't mean to take advantage of the two.
"It's okay, we're okay".
Jack took the money, saying that he was okay and could continue to do it.
Lao Xu is short of manpower here, otherwise he can call Cannon and Brian to come over to help, and when he heard this, he immediately arranged for the two to continue working.
In the middle of the night, it was time to eat again.
Or hit lo mein!
The workers were not as enthusiastic as the first two meals, but Jack and the two of them ate deliciously, and felt that the food of the boss's ranch was really good, at least much better than the food on the ranch where he worked.
Zhang Chi didn't eat another meal of lo mein, and he couldn't stand eating three meals of the same thing in a row, so he went home, stewed a pot of tomato brisket, and then poured it on the rice to fill his stomach.
Back on the construction site.
By the time the last beam was in place, it was already past two o'clock in the evening.
It took another half an hour to spread the rain cloth and compact.
After everyone finished their work, they were just about to leave, and the little cool breeze had already risen.
At this time, the cool breeze blows on people's faces, and it is a little prickly.
With a light wind, the sky darkened, and the sky that was originally gray and gloomy now seemed to have no light or shadow.
Immediately after the light wind, the raindrops fell, hitting the canopy behind him with a crisp clicking sound.
Lao Xu saw the rain falling, reached out to catch it, and felt the raindrops fall on the palm of his hand.
"It's a loss, the work is done, if you delay it any longer, there will be a toss" Lao Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He has a lot of work on his hands now, and time is also tight, it is impossible to delay time on Zhang Chi's project, and now he has finally snatched back a lost time in Xiaoyu's hands.
Zhang Chi said here: "Don't be too nervous, I'll have no problem delaying it for a week."
Lao Xu said: "Guan Jian is that I can't drag it out, okay, there's no problem now, go back and get a good night's sleep."
Zhang Chi looked at the light rain above his head, hoping that it would fall faster, so that he could enter the mountain earlier.
