Chapter 68: Vegetable Pond and Fish Pond
Zhao Changshan looked around the house, and casually asked Jian Heng more than a dozen questions, which made Jian Hengzhi frown, because according to his request, the kitchen of this house is afraid that there will be a big change.
After thinking about it for a while, Jian Heng had an idea in his heart: "In the future, you will be your place, come according to your requirements, I will still ask for that, the taste is still secondary, the main thing is that this food must be clean, after all, you and I are both stirring and eating in this pot!" ”
Zhao Changshan nodded and responded: "That's natural, we have always worked with our conscience!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Changshan also patted his chest, and his mouth should be assured to reassure Jian Heng.
Jian Heng also knew that Zhao Changshan should not look at the appearance of an ordinary greasy uncle, in fact, he was quite serious about his work, otherwise Jian Heng would not have thought of letting him cook, since he handed over the kitchen to him, then Jian Heng had to let go of his hands, professional things should be done by professional people, just check it himself.
"Okay, change it first according to your requirements, I can only have 10,000 dollars for you to use in advance, change it first, it's not too important to delay it, and I'll fill this loophole as soon as the money arrives" Jian Heng said.
Zhao Changshan smiled and said: "Enough, like what kind of range hood, we can make it ourselves, buy a few pieces of iron sheet and knock a big funnel out, and then get two or three exhaust fans, don't worry, I have made this thing in China before, and I can't get a few dollars, wrap it on me!" ”
After talking for a while, the two went out side by side, and at this time, Jian Heng had an extra bottle of whiskey from Tennessee and a few glasses in his hand.
When they went out the door, they saw that the two sisters, Big Mac and Wheat, were now sitting side by side on the chairs on the porch, and the little white lion was now beautifully lying on the sisters' lap. Some people say that the cat lies down like a noodle, but what Jian Heng didn't expect was that when the little lion lay down, it would actually have the demeanor of a cat, and it looked much longer than normal.
Obviously, the little white lion is now familiar with the sisters, revealing his white belly and lying on his back, his two front paws can't help but try to reach the sisters' hands, and he can't stop flicking his little tail while reaching it, just like a cat.
"Come to drink?"
Jian Heng poured a circle of wine for everyone, and then asked the two and the beautiful sisters who had already played with the white lion.
"Have a drink!"
Hearing Jian Heng's question, the two raised their heads and glanced at Jian Heng, but their eyes did not stop for two seconds on Jian Heng's body, and they immediately returned to the little white lion's body.
After pouring wine for the two sisters, Jian Heng said to Zhao Changshan, "What are we going to eat at noon today?" ”
"I bought some vegetables and beef, why don't we make dumplings today?" Zhao Changshan said.
"Okay! This is a good idea" As soon as Jian Heng heard that he was eating dumplings, he immediately raised his hands in agreement: "What kind of filling?" ”
"Originally, I wanted to buy leeks, but unfortunately I didn't find a Chinese supermarket after a turn, and now I have to eat beef and green onion filling, we don't have anything taboo, but I don't know if you like it or not, if you have a problem, let's eat dumplings to fry beef rice?"
Jian Heng waved his hand and said: "I eat everything, beef green onions are beef green onions, some is better than nothing."
Some don't have to do it yourself, where does Jian Heng have any opinions.
"By the way, do you have a suitable place here, open a few points to grow vegetables, no matter how you say it, you have to plant some green onions and garlic and the like, this thing is easy to buy in the city, it is not only difficult to buy in your place, if you buy too much, it is far less fresh than picking it directly from the ground" Zhao Changshan suddenly remembered something, he had planned it in his heart when he came, but he didn't think about it just now, and now when he heard Jian Heng think of eating, he immediately remembered it.
As the chef who will be in charge, Zhao Changshan has made a lot of drafts in his heart, since he has come to work on Jian Heng's side, he has also made a decision to do this job for Jian Heng, otherwise he will iron his brother's share, and at the same time, it will be difficult to explain to Jian Heng, the little brother.
"Okay, why don't I take you to see the ground now?" As soon as Jian Heng heard him say it, he immediately remembered a piece of land in his mind, the ranch where he had been in for a few years, and where Jian Heng was not familiar with it, let's say it so exaggeratedly, with his eyes closed, Jian Heng could walk around the ranch.
Originally, there was no vegetable field on the ranch, and Americans went out to buy urine once a week, and then stuffed the entire refrigerator large and small, and then went to buy the next week's food after eating it for a week, and few people ordered some shallots and garlic at home or something in front of the house.
Old Anders is naturally the same, but now that the ranch is in the hands of Jian Heng, Jian Heng is preparing to focus on Chinese food in the future, and this vegetable plot is naturally wanted, otherwise you can't find fresh green onions in the next bowl of noodles, what is the taste of spices alone. Even if Zhao Changshan doesn't mention it, Jian Heng will soon open up the land.
"Far from it?" Zhao Changshan asked.
"Not far!" Jian Heng stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's more than a hundred meters behind the house, where the soil is good, just right for planting some side dishes or something."
While saying this, Jian Heng raised his feet and walked to the back of the house, this time not only Zhao Changshan, but also his two apprentices followed, and it was Zhang Jialiang, the kid, who came to the side of Barley and Wheat, and teased the little white lion to talk with the two beautiful girls by the way.
Behind the house, there is a small slope almost more than 100 meters away, and the vegetable field selected by Jian Heng is this sunny slope, which is now naturally overgrown with alfalfa grass, and there are a few small trees in addition to pasture.
"The soil here is a bit shallow, but it's enough to grow some vegetables" Jian Heng took Zhao Changshan to the place, stretched out his legs and stepped on it vigorously.
Zhao Changshan bent down and stretched out his hand to remove the alfalfa grass, grabbed a piece of mud from the ground, put it on his hand and rubbed it, and then looked at it.
Nodding with satisfaction, he asked Jian Heng, "How deep is the soil?" ”
"Dozens of centimeters, sixty or seventy, there are stones down there," Jian Heng said.
"That's enough, then this one" After speaking, Zhao Changshan said to the two apprentices he brought: "You two take a shovel and turn over this piece after dinner today, pay attention to at least turning it so deep."
As he spoke, he also made a gesture together.
Jian Heng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Changshan: "Come on, what is this place, where is the manpower, wait for me to borrow a tractor to plow the land in the afternoon, and plow this piece out, and open up more than one acre of land, just a little more things."
Zhao Changshan heard that it was of course good to have a machine, so he nodded.
"By the way, didn't you say that you have a lake here, it's still a big lake, why didn't I see it?" Zhao Changshan remembered that he had heard Jian Heng say that there was a lake in the pasture, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"Where can I see this, it happens to be blocked by a small hill" Hearing that Zhao Changshan wanted to see the lake, Jian Heng took him up the small slope, and then climbed over the small slope and walked for almost a quarter of an hour, and then came to a big mound.
Standing on the top of the mound, a very large lake appeared in front of everyone.
"Holy, so big?"
There is a lake in the pasture, Zhao Changshan doesn't think it's big, it looks like it's more than a hundred acres, who knows that there are at least thousands of acres at this glance.
Jian Heng said: "More than two hundred acres! ”
"What's in there?" Zhao Changshan asked: "When I have time in the afternoon, I just want to catch a fish, and there will be entertainment activities in the future!" ”
Zhao Changshan was obviously an old fishing friend, and rubbed his hands a little impatiently as he spoke.
"That's going to disappoint you, there are fish in this lake, but they won't suit your appetite, they are all native to the United States, a little bigger, the largest is the size of a palm, not only is there no meat, but it is not delicious!"
"Then don't put some fish in there!"
Jian Heng covered his head and said with a smile: "Brother, can we come a little bit, I just took over the ranch now, and there are many big and small things, where can I take care of this!" ”
"Then leave this matter to me, let's get some grass carp and chain fish and put them in the lake, just with such a large lake, we will still lack fish to eat in the future?" Zhao Changshan looked at the lake and said.
After speaking, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, as if the lake was now full of fat fish.
"Master, will anyone check, I heard that these Americans are quite unwelcome to Asian carp!" That's when a junior apprentice interjected.
"What's the matter with the U.S. government! Raise whatever you want," Zhao Changshan said.
After speaking, Zhao Changshan explained to Jian Heng: "This is a nephew of my own family, who has just arrived!" ”
Jian Heng smiled at the young man, who scratched his head a little embarrassedly, it seemed that he was a relatively shy person.
