After the New Year, Chen Chen and his wife went to Hawaii to spend their honeymoon together.
They got a B visa there, stayed in Hawaii for a while, and then went directly to Seattle.
Type b visa is, b1 is for short-term business visit and b-2 is for short-term tourism.
The visa type can be changed in the United States, which is more convenient.
Chen Mo's family is visiting relatives and preparing to go to the United States.
Chen Xiao was depressed during this period, and seemed to have a problem with that boy Ankang...
Their company had a holiday before the Chinese New Year, and a few days before Chen Chen got married, Ankang ran back to his hometown without saying a word. Not only did he not attend Chen Chen's wedding, but he also didn't ask Chen Xiao to come over to play or come to pay New Year greetings.
"Brother, I want to go to the United States with you." Chen Xiao looked at Chen Mo aggrievedly.
What Chen Mo feels most distressed about is this sister. At home, Chen Xiao has never been wronged at all.
"Okay." Chen Mo touched his sister's head: "You and that guy are separated like this?"
"I didn't say break up, but it's almost done. I told him to go see him, but he said no, he would go to work in a few days..."
"Whatever you want. I have watched my own life." Chen Mo touched his sister's head: "But I have one request. Don't find me a foreign brother-in-law. I don't like it."
Chen Xiao puffed up his cheeks: "I'm just going to go out with you to relax and tell you where we went."
Chen Mo rubbed his sister's hair...
A few days later, Chen Mo and his family went straight to Seattle, and joined Chen Chen and his wife to take a small plane to Great Falls.
Great Falls is named for its proximity to the Great Falls of the Missouri River.
Great Falls is 170 kilometers away from Snow Mountain Ranch, which is nearly half of the 300 kilometers from Billings to Snow Mountain Ranch.
In mid-to-late February, the average temperature in Montana is still below zero, especially in areas above 1,000 meters above sea level, which are still covered with ice and snow...
After getting off the plane, the cold air hit his face, so Chen Mo instinctively wrapped up his clothes.
"Hi, boss." Brett waved and shouted from a distance.
Chen Mo led his family over, hugged Brett, and introduced his family.
During this time, Brett was practicing Chinese, and he briefly introduced himself in Mandarin as an invitation.
Chen Mo had previously told Bright their number of people and the luggage they were carrying, and Bright contacted two Bell 407 helicopters to return to the ranch.
Montana's winter is all white.
Looking down from the sky, you will see the vast world, which will open your mind.
Judith Plus Snow Mountain is a large snow-capped mountain that towers impressively on the western plains of Montana. Chen Mo and his parents were riding in the same helicopter and pointed at the snow-capped mountains: "Dad, Mom, we will go around the snow-capped mountains and reach the ranch."
Chen Mo's father looked at the outside world with great interest: "The population here is very small, and there is only one village separated by a long distance."
"That's a town... or a city." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Town, city, county. The administrative units in the United States are different from those in China... The population here is sparse, and some small towns are just large ranches or farms."
The largest farm and ranch in Montana, the Broken O Irrigated Farm, covers an area of 124,000 acres. It seems that it expanded a bit in the second half of last year...
The second largest farm and ranch, Bright's former ranch, covers an area of more than 100,000 acres.
There are also several large ranches and farms. If the data remains unchanged, Chen Mo's Snow Mountain Ranch can rank third in terms of area.
Eastern Montana is sparsely populated, and most of the land is under the name of investment companies. Chen Mo knows of four single plots of land exceeding 10 acres. Those lands are so desolate, most of them are the same as the Gobi land in the snow-capped mountain pastures.
Two helicopters landed on the drying yard of the feed factory one after another...
The feed factory is also a tin house. The building covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters and is about five meters tall. There are several expensive machines inside that can process 400 to 500 tons of cake feed every day. It can not only meet the needs of the ranch itself, but also
The feed produced can also be exported... As for exporting, since the ranch has no shortage of funds, we will not consider it for the time being.
There are two ranch residential areas, one is next to the factory and office area. The other is in Lake Valley, where Chen Mo lives during normal times...
Back at their residence, the grown-up Labrador saw Chen Mo jumping up and down with excitement. The husky stood at the door, looking at them with a puzzled look on his face...
Chen Mo smiled and comforted Ala, then stepped forward and gently knocked Dasha on the head, causing the guy to wander around excitedly.
Canlby helped take care of them at home. When they came back today, the fireplace in the living room was lit with firewood this morning, and the room was warmly heated.
This is the ranch house, two stories, four bedrooms.
However, the old wooden structure house has a bad problem, the sound insulation effect is not good. Chen Chen and his wife, Chen Mo arranged for them to live in the house next door...
There are five houses in the Clay Valley residential area. Canlby and Athol each live in one, Chen Mo lives in one, and there are two others. There are other places, so don’t have too many vacant houses...
"Kitten." Chen Xiao dropped his luggage and saw the cat at home. He came up to hold it and kneaded it.
What she hugged was a big flower.
Dahua has a cold personality and hates people hugging her the most. She meows with a look of despair on her face.
Ah Li took the initiative to approach Chen Mo and asked for a hug...
Chen Mo picked up Ah Li, arranged everyone's accommodation, and went to the kitchen to take a look...
The refrigerator is filled with fresh ingredients, and the kitchen also prepares various seasonings and vegetables.
"Dad, Mom, how about having steak tonight?" Chen Mo said.
"Western steak?" Father Chen came in and took a look: "I've never eaten Western steak, so I don't know if it tastes good."
“The steak was medium rare and tasted okay.”
Chen Mo took out a large piece of sirloin and used a long knife to cut out several pieces of steak about 1.5 cm thick.
Sirloin is the outer rib of beef, which contains a certain amount of fat. There is a ring of white tendons on the outside of the meat, and it has a super tough texture. Although the meat is hard, it is chewy. Meat of this kind cannot be fully fried.
Medium rare to medium rare is best...
I made a few more pieces of tomahawk steak and defrosted them in the microwave.
This is top-quality beef, and it usually needs to be defrosted naturally to retain the flavor. Chen Mo and his family are not picky eaters, so they can eat it.
In the evening, the family sat around the long table in the living room, eating meat and drinking wine.
Sirloin steak is medium-rare, Tomahawk steak is well-done... Tomahawk steak is more suitable for grilling. The bone fat is grilled out, which makes it more fragrant.
"Yeah, it's delicious. Especially the sirloin. The tendons are very chewy, but the beef is so tender that it's almost oily in your mouth." Chen Chen said.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
"We have eaten at many Western restaurants recently, and I feel that this meat has the best taste."
This is for sure, after all, it is marked with an excellent grade.
Chen Mo raised his cup and everyone clinked it.
It's very late today, and we have been tired from traveling and traveling. After dinner, everyone went to bed early...
