The continuous rain and snow in the past few days turned into heavy snow on the evening of Christmas Eve...
Chen Mo added a piece of firewood to the fireplace, yawned, and held Ah Li in his arms. Ah Hua, a male cat, had a cold personality, and Chen Mo wouldn't let him touch her. He lay on the sofa and licked his fur.
Dasha and Ala were lying quietly in front of the fire. You were looking at me, I was looking at you...what were you looking at?
After a fire was lit and the room gradually warmed up, Chen Mo was ready to go out for the bonfire party.
'The magic of love is spinning in circles, I miss you and my heart is full of joy at night and day...' The ghostly cell phone ringtone suddenly remembered, Dahua was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and the nervous Erha bit Ala directly, and Ala turned around and bit back...
"Hello." Video call from Bai Xiaoou: "Happy Christmas Eve."
"Hey, you idiot, that bad old man is very bad..." Snow Mountain Ranch also has its own activities, such as bonfire parties and barbecues in the snow. Chen Mo was afraid that he would be envious if he said it.
"What are you doing? Warming yourself by the fire at home...you are bored."
"It's boring, you guys just ran away to California, too lazy to tell you." Bai Xiaoou's video call seemed to be in a bar, with women on the dance floor swinging their enchanting figures crazily...Jennifer looked at the video and tossed it
A blowing kiss.
"If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Don't call you every time. You are in the pasture."
"What's wrong with calling?"
"On December 29th, Tangxia Yipin in Los Angeles is ready to open. Come and cut the ribbon." Bai Xiaoou said and went out of the bar, saying in a quiet place outside: "I saw Hill a few days ago, on the Avenue of Stars.
Wearing a heavy cartoon suit and handing out flyers...Jennifer wants to invite her to work in the restaurant."
"Forget about cutting the ribbon, I don't have time. That's it."
"Hey, what do you mean? You're a grown man, don't be so stingy..."
"It's not interesting." Chen Mo smiled bitterly.
"Did you agree?"
"You are in charge of the restaurant. You are the big boss and you have the final say. In fact, Hill and I have nothing to do with each other."
"That's good. I'm afraid you won't be happy if you find out. It's Christmas and you still have a lot of work at the ranch?"
Chen Mo changed into a comfortable position and lay down: "Bright is taking care of the ranch work. It's winter now, so there's nothing much to do."
"Let me tell you, the quality of the ginseng shipped before was not good. It was too small and not as good as the ginseng shipped a few times before. Do you still have the previous batch of ginseng? This time I want 100 kilograms. 85 kilograms of American ginseng.
15 kilograms of Changbai Mountain ginseng." Bai Xiaoou said as he sat in his car.
Chen Mo had been digging for gold in space several times before, and the branch had just opened, so Chen Mo dug up a lot of space ginseng...
The reputation of the San Francisco Bay Area branch is an instant hit. Counting time, all the ginseng used is 14 to 15 years old.
"No more." Chen Mo shook his head: "Good ginseng is deep in the mountains. It's snowing heavily here. The goods won't be available until at least April or May next year. The goods delivered before have been stored for a long time..."
"That's okay. Ordinary ginseng is also available, 85kg and 15kg. Let me tell you, the business of the San Francisco branch is booming. You have to make a reservation to come for dinner. Every day makes a lot of money. I am thinking about opening another hot pot restaurant, and it happens to be
There is a store nearby that is ready to be transferred. I want to focus on high-quality beef and mutton... Would it be cheaper to buy from you?"
"Little Sheep or?"
"Little fat sheep can't afford to eat them. They're too expensive, and it's not cost-effective to make hot pot. Can you raise them and sell them? How about making sure that you make more money than a little fat sheep?"
"It's too late to raise them now. I can raise some fattening sheep in the future. I have hundreds of fattening cattle here, and some of them should be able to reach the first level (excellent level). Let me know in advance when you need to slaughter them to see the quality.
Send you a quote."
"Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo was about to go out, when there was a knock on the door.
"Chen Mo uncle." Amiya's voice sounded. Chen Mo stood up and opened the door, wearing a Santa hat: "Uncle Chen Mo, everyone is waiting for you."
"Uncle, let's go now." Chen Mo smiled and picked up Amiya.
This is Brett's daughter. She is six years old. She has some freckles on her face and is very cute.
"The line on your phone is busy. I thought your car broke down. Come and have a look... hurry up, everyone is waiting for you." Bright urged.
"Right now, what's the hurry?" Chen Mo put on his hat. The temperature outside was about minus ten degrees, and there was no wind at all.
After asking the two dogs to sit in the passenger seat, Chen Mo drove on a dirt road and headed to a large open space outside the feed mill in the breeding area. He piled a tall pile of firewood and could see burning flames from a distance.
Someone was barbeque, someone was playing guitar and singing ugly country songs...
"The boss is here." Canlby shouted, and everyone stopped what they were doing.
Chen Mo pressed his hands, showed his leadership style and said loudly: "Eat what you have to eat, drink what you have to drink, let's continue."
Canlby and Athol, one on the left and one on the right, pushed Chen Mo to the charcoal-roasted whole lamb and handed him a knife: "You have to share this roasted whole lamb with everyone before the banquet officially begins.
.”
"What's the point?"
"A big ranch is a big family. You are the boss, equivalent to the patriarch... If you don't dislike us, giving us this sheep is your recognition of us." Canlby said, whispering in Chen Mo's ear.
Voice: "This is the tradition of the original Indian cowboys (herders)."
There were more than thirty people at the scene (including family members of employees), and Chen Mo was holding a knife and didn't know how to start.
The lamb is too small. I should have killed one more lamb if I had known earlier.
Chen Mo asked Canelby to help him carry the roasted whole lamb to the table and began to divide the meat... Everyone had a share, and no one was left behind.
The roasted lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin is crispy and makes a sound when you bite it. There is oil in the meat, but it doesn't taste greasy at all. It can only be described as "flavorful".
A roasted whole lamb is shared among everyone, and the bonfire party officially begins.
Brett threw wood into the fire, and Canlby turned on the stereo, playing "Penguins' Game" on a loop.
Rabbit dance?
The prelude to the music started. Chen Mo had seen the rabbit dance on TV and remembered the general movements... I thought everyone would line up like an eagle catching a chicken...
But everyone held hands and danced around the ham.
It's the same as...the showgirls dance in the casino.
The showgirl wears a skirt, follows the rhythm of the music, and kicks her legs from time to time to reveal the scenery under the skirt...
But to be honest, not many of the showgirls in the casino are pretty.
The atmosphere of the bonfire party was very good. After the song ended, everyone gathered together in twos and threes with laughter...
There were five barbecue grills, and some people were drinking hard liquor and shouting that they wanted to fight a grizzly bear naked. The singers were each singing more unpleasantly than the last...
Chen Mo also picked up a strong drink, clinked glasses with Bright and the others, and ate meat.
Tomorrow is Christmas, followed by New Year's Day, and then the Chinese New Year.
The lively atmosphere made Chen Mo miss home...
Going home for the New Year...
I need to prepare some supplies.
It’s definitely not possible to bring a few little fat sheep back, bacon, game?
