Chapter 516: Stewed Sheep

"Go get something to eat".

Merika looked at the child for a while, and then said to her husband.

Zhang Chi's gaze stopped at the child's body, but he still sat up straight naturally: "Okay, I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

When the two of them came back, they didn't feel hungry at all, and it wasn't until she looked at the sleeping child for a while that Merica felt hungry.

Zhang Chi reluctantly took his eyes off the little baby's body and prepared to go downstairs.

Merika suddenly stopped Zhang Chi at this time: "Why don't you stew a sheep, now the sheep should be delicious, the yellow whisker grass under the snow that has been eaten for a long time should be more tender than when we ate it half a month ago."

The so-called yellow beard grass under the snow is that the large beard grass is pressed under the snow, the original green becomes yellow, and the photosynthesis is lost, and the green pigment cannot be synthesized, but the grass is still growing, and it produces something like leek.

Sheep and cattle eat these grasses, the meat quality will undergo some changes, but the biggest change has to be the small size of the sheep, the grass-fed sheep that has no smell, and then eat the yellow whisker grass for a month or two, the meat on the body will be more tender, and it has a horizontal smell, a bit like leeks, but a little similar to the taste of toon.

It's not easy to describe, but it's absolutely delicious, especially after being killed and put into a big iron pot to stew, stewed with firewood, only a simple salt is needed to make seasonings, and when you eat it, add a small dipping sauce, it is extremely delicious.

Last year, this way of eating has not been developed, because the yellow beard grass has not yet taken shape, and the original large withered leaves and yellow beard grass have entered the stomach of cattle and sheep together, which is obviously not as good as the taste of all yellow beard grass now.

So in the past, sheep were mainly roasted and eaten, but this year, Zhang Chi's family, including the cowboys in the ranch, gave priority to the iron pot stew when eating sheep.

Needless to say, now Merica is suddenly a bit of a goat.

Zhang Chi has nothing to be reluctant to, he raises sheep to keep for his own food, nodded, Zhang Chi went out and went downstairs.

As soon as I got downstairs, I smelled a fragrance, and I didn't need to ask if it must be the uncle who was a chef at home.

Zhang Chi came directly to the door of the kitchen, and just wanted to roll up his sleeves and ask, he heard the uncle speak.

"You came just in time, serve the food to the table, and ask Xiaomei to come down to eat," Zhang Youliang said.

Zhang Chi said: "So fast? ”

Zhang Youliang said: "I don't know when you will be able to arrive, the snow on the road is not easy to walk, so I made some semi-finished products here."

Zhang Youliang is telling the truth, now this season is the most difficult season of the year, there are cattle and sheep to feed at home, it is not convenient to go out, the road is full of ice and snow at this time, if the light snow is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that the snow is pressed by the car for a few days and then becomes ice.

That's troublesome, sometimes ice can be like a sharp knife, if the road maintenance personnel maintain it well, then it's just that, if the maintenance is not good, there is fun.

In such a cold weather, the snow falls at both ends of the three days, and sometimes the old snow is not removed, and the new snow falls.

How efficient are road maintenance personnel? Forget it, let's not talk about it, we can still be in one place.

Zhang Chi didn't say much, and began to serve the plate.

Zheng Bohong and the others immediately came over to help with a very good look, and Zhang Chi saw that the kitchen was crowded all of a sudden, so he went upstairs directly and asked Merika to come down for dinner.

The ingredients on the table are all brought by the uncle and the aunt themselves, and the focus of the dish is still fish, which is for Merika's milk, and the other is the old hen that has been stewed for a long time, and it is stewed in a clay pot.

As for the taste, Zhang Chi thinks it's average, but Merica really likes it, and after eating two bowls of soup, the place where there is more hen meat left in it belongs to Zhang Chi, and the place where the meat belongs to edamame.

Momo, Seren, and Bai Lao don't look down on this little bit of meat, and they follow the beef bones these days.

Now the ranch will sell cattle every once in a while, and Americans rarely stew bones or anything like that, so no one wants the big bones in the slaughterhouse, and the price is very lower than every time Cannon goes to sell cattle, he will bring back a large batch of minced meat and bones from the slaughterhouse.

Now that the weather is so cold, I can let it go, so Mo, Shiren and Bai Lao are also flying in their small days, and they have a round belly every day.

"Uncle, uncle, don't go back at night, I'll let Zhang Chi slaughter the head sheep tonight, let's stew the sheep and eat" Merika scooped a spoonful of fish soup and slowly sipped it, and at the same time said with Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying.

Gu Ying said: "It's not that we haven't eaten, we really can't stay tonight, let alone the evening, we have to go back in the afternoon."

"What's the matter, there are so many guests now?" Zhang Chi hurriedly asked.

Zhang Youliang said: "There are not many guests, but there are a lot of lives, and they are all some energy-consuming things, and I have to be busy until late when I leave Guangming over there."

Gu Ying then explained: "Now these people like the steamed buns in the restaurant, and the sales are very high every day, and now they have to make more than 500 steamed buns a day, and some people will drive over to buy ......."

"Business is so good? Beef bun or something else? "Zhao Yue thinks it's funny, people here actually like to eat meat buns.

Gu Ying said: "Pork, it's not strange, the pork here is not knocked, so it has its own smell, the pork we use is different, it is raised by my friend himself, and the little boar has been gelding since he was a child, so the meat quality is better...... So it's too hard to make money."

"No, find someone," Merica advised.

"It's easy to find someone, but it's hard to find someone you like, we found two or three people to come over some time ago, alas, I thought it was to pull them, but, forget it, don't mention it!" Zhang Youliang said.

Zheng Bohong said: "The people who come here now are not like before."

"Who says it's not, we did all the work when we came over, because we knew that we were here to desperately beg for a living, and now these people are here, picking three or four and still can't slip their hands, where is this here to beg for a living, this is to be the master" Zhang Youliang was very dissatisfied.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle, you should find someone with a work permit, don't trouble when the time comes."

When Zhang Chi said this, everyone couldn't help but smile, they had all heard about Cannon, not to mention Zhang Youliang, even Zheng Bohong felt that this gamble was a bit big, hundreds of thousands of dollars smaller, which was enough to hire many people.

Regarding Cannon, except for Zhang Chi, it is estimated that there is no second person at this table who knows Cannon, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if Zhang Youliang approves of his nephew's righteousness, but it is really not worth spending this money on a cowboy.

Cannon wasn't a businessman.

This topic is related to the people who have come over now, and everyone has said that the Chinese who came here in the past could do anything as long as they could make money, but now it is different, and China is no longer the condition when Zhang Youliang came over.

To be honest, if Zhang Youliang had the current conditions at that time, it is estimated that he would not have come to the United States if he broke his leg.

The times are different, and people's ideas are naturally different.

After chatting and eating, after cleaning up the bowl, Zhang Chi was sent out to pick sheep.

Zhao Yue and the others are idle, and they can't keep watching the children, so they accompany Zhang Chi to pick sheep, mainly to play, and their serious business is to play idlely.

A path has been carved out from the entrance to the cowshed, and the snow is knee-deep all around this road, and under the snow is naturally yellow whisker grass.

There were no cows in the barn today, and there were no people, and all the cowboys went out to herd the cows.

Although Osu is a good grass to feed cattle and sheep, cattle are also lazy and will take tricks, and they will not honestly say how much grass they eat here will change places.

If you let them eat on their own, they will eat a piece of land cleanly, and they will not leave you with a single grass root, and they will never change places if they don't eat all of them.

This is still the case in summer, not to mention that at this time, the snow is knee-long, and it takes a lot of effort for the cow to find grass and arch the snow again.

So the cowboys have to graze like they do when there is no snow.

Grazing is harder than in the summer, because not only do you have to graze, but you also have to recover the snow that has been cut by the cows and the places where the cows have eaten it.

If you don't cover it, if it doesn't snow for a few days, the grass will naturally go into a dormant period, and it won't rise unless it is next spring.

After going to the cowshed to take a look, Zhang Chi wondered if there were a few sheep left behind who didn't want to go out.

But Zhang Chi's luck was bad today, all the sheep went out, and the whole cowshed was cow light, sheep light, and dog light.

"What about the sheep?"

Zhao Yue asked.

Zhang Chi said: "I went out to find it, if any of you are cold can go back now, and I will ride over to find sheep later."

"Don't you have a snowmobile?" Duan Shuyi asked.

Zhang Chi said: "Cowboys use it."

At this time, snowmobiles are much more comfortable than horses, and cowboys are not stupid and naturally give priority to motorcycles.

"Why don't you buy more," Zhao Yue said, "I don't think you look like a master who is short of money."

"I've only used it once, once in a while, and when I buy a snowmobile, I might as well ride a horse for most of the year," Zhang Chi said.

Snowmobiles are actually four loses, replaced with snow tracks, this thing is really easy to use, and the domestic guys are cheap, but no matter how cheap it is, there is a cost, and you can't spend this kind of money once or twice a year.

Took a few people to the stables.

As soon as Zhang Chi released Chiyan Mountain, the little colored horse began to kick the door, and it seemed that he hadn't seen Zhang Chi for a long time, and he was a little happy.

I don't know if it's true joy or fake joy, but this guy looks pretty good anyway.

The little colored horse made such a fuss, Zhao Yue came over, she was picking horses, cowboys have exclusive horses, and there are also special markers painted on the next door.

Even so, there were still enough horses in the stables for the servants to pick from.

"This horse is that little colored horse, it's really beautiful," Zhao Yue said and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Zhang Chi was trying to remind her to be a little careful, but the horse had already galloped out of the compartment and came to Zhang Chi's side with a trot, snorting and shaking his head.

"Didn't you say that it was not easy to train?"

Duan Shu picked a light chestnut horse, and also escaped a saddle with a uniform number for himself, and while preparing a saddle for his horse, he looked at the little colored horse and asked.

"It's all the old yellow calendar, this horse has changed its sex," Zhang Chi said.

"Is there a name?" Zhao Yue asked.

"It's my sister's horse".

Zhang Chi said.

Although the little colored horse is quite obedient now, and the things he teaches are also learned quickly, but the size is a little short for Zhang Chi, so Zhang Chi did not ride the little colored horse, and Zhang Chi still rode the Red Flame Mountain, which is half snow and half flame.
