Chapter 24: Visit the ranch, the flying wolf helicopter

In order to welcome Dan and his party, Jamie specially instructed the chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The main course is steak.

The chef prepares filet mignon for all the ladies, also commonly known as beef tenderloin, the most expensive part of a cow.

This part of the steak is the most tender, high in protein and low in fat, making it the most suitable for ladies who need to stay in shape.

Men can choose from filets, sirloins, T-bones and ribeye according to their personal tastes.

All steaks are sourced from the nearest source, using the freshest Yellowstone beef.

Chuck and Nate both wanted a Sharon steak, the meat was delicious and chewy.

Dan, on Jamie's recommendation, opted for a T-bone steak with half and half tenderloin.

After the steak was served, everyone picked up their knives and forks.

Rebecca, who had only a mushroom pasta salad in front of her, was clearly not a very friendly place to eat, and she even interrupted her discussion of Greek mythology with Serena across the table from room to table, and ate the food on her plate without saying a word.

Blair saw the moment and chatted with Serena about the taste of the steak.

"Is it because I haven't eaten steak in a while? Why I think the steaks here are more tender and have a different texture from what I have tasted in New York. ”

Serena said that she felt the same way when she first ate it, and after asking Jamie, she learned that although the top restaurants in New York and around the world claim to use the best Yellowstone beef, in fact, the best Yellowstone beef is not sold at all, and can only be eaten at Yellowstone Ranch.

Dan listened to it and was about to doubt his life.

He knew that at the most expensive restaurant in New York, an 8-ounce Yellowstone filet mignon would cost close to $300.

A sharon steak of around 10 ounces is a little cheaper, but it also sells for around $200.

Ribeye is the cheapest, costing $160 for 8 ounces.

This is not the top, so how expensive are these so-called top-notch Yellowstone steaks they eat now?

Dan didn't dare to ask anyway, mainly for fear of being hit by the price.

But someone still asked the question.

It's Chuck.

"If I want to eat the same quality steak somewhere else, is there a way to do it?"

Being able to ask such a question actually shows that there is no shortage of money.

But Jamie's answer was still to shake his head.

In fact, the steaks they eat now are not much different from those sold in top restaurants, except for the slight difference in taste, there is really not much difference in quality.

The only difference is that this part of the Angus cattle dedicated to the Yellowstone Ranch drinks more space spring water, and the quality is better.

Of course, in the eyes of old money like Chuck, expensive is right.

Jamie could only tell him that the yield of Angus cattle that could reach this grade was too low for it to be unrealistic.

Serena took advantage of the situation and suggested that everyone could stay at the ranch for a while longer, so that they could make up for the regret that they couldn't eat this top-quality Yellowstone steak outside.

When Vanessa heard this, she turned to look at Dan, who was sitting beside her.

"How long are we going to stay here?"

"It might take a few days."

Dan wasn't quite sure, either.

But he was quite envious of his good friend.

Among all the people present, Vanessa was the only one who didn't know much about the price of the Yellowstone steak she ate for this meal, and she even thought that the restaurant Blair was talking about was a very ordinary street restaurant in New York.

She simply thinks that the Yellowstone steak she eats now is more tender and has an excellent taste, but she doesn't realize the "gold content" in it.

Taking this opportunity, Jamie also announced the itinerary for the next few days.

Hunting, fishing, and driving to Yellowstone Park, which is right next to the ranch, can be arranged.

If you are interested, you can also arrange a helicopter tour of the ranch, as well as local horse and bull riding competitions.

Not surprisingly, Rebecca and Blair are at odds over their schedules.

Rebecca wants to go to Yellowstone, where you can see a lot of protected wildlife in addition to the beautiful natural scenery.

Blair wants to go hunting first, or go to a bull riding competition, in short, how exciting it is.

Everyone else knew that the two did not deal with each other and did not immediately express their position.

Seeing this, Vanessa proposed, it would be better for everyone to raise their hands and vote.

She took the lead in line with Rebecca.

Dan had no choice but to choose to support Rebecca.

Jenny chose to wait and see.

Blair immediately turned his head to look at Nate.

Nate was actually inclined to support Rebecca's proposal, but he knew that if he didn't support Blair on this occasion, then the relationship between the two that had just been reunited would fall through.

"I think hunting is more fun."

Nate looked at Chuck, who had spoken first, with a shocked expression.

Both the good brother and the girlfriend have made a choice, and he can't say any more if he continues to hesitate.

"I agree."

Nate followed.

Now it's a 2-2 draw, and Serena, Jamie and Jenny are left unstrategic.

Serena didn't expect to face such a situation, and was in a dilemma about who to help, when Jamie spoke.

"Since everyone has a big difference, it is better to let me arrange it, tomorrow we will visit the ranch first, believe me, the scenery seen on the plane is definitely a hundred times more spectacular than on the ground."

Serena immediately agreed.

Jenny nodded vigorously.

Jamie looked at Blair and Rebecca, spread his hands and said:

"With myself, there have already been three votes in favor of visiting the ranch, so it's such a happy decision."

Early the next morning, two cool-looking black helicopters roared over the wooded cottage and slowly landed on an open lawn by the lake.

"Wow!"

Dan, who was the first to come to the lawn, let out an exclamation and couldn't take his eyes off the two helicopters in front of him.

Vanessa and Jenny behind them were a little puzzled.

Are these two helicopters special?

Dan turned to face the two of them, pointed to the two helicopters behind him, and said loudly:

"Don't you think they're familiar?"

Seeing that Vanessa and Jenny didn't react, Dan continued to prompt loudly:

"I remember when I was a kid there was a TV series about a military helicopter capable of flying at supersonic speeds."

Vanessa reacted in a second.

"You're talking about 'Flying Wolf', and its opening music is classic, and I still remember it."

"That's right!"

Dan exclaimed:

"The Flying Wolf helicopter in the TV series, the prototype in reality is these two Bell 222 helicopters, this model was discontinued 12 years ago, and a total of 100 were produced, I didn't expect to see it here."

Just as he said this excitedly, Jamie and the others walked over.

Jamie stepped forward and put his arm around Dan's shoulders and told him that in reality, the helicopter only needed one pilot to operate, so Dan could experience what it was like to be in the passenger seat like Dominic in the TV series.
