Chapter 518 The twists and turns of the road The last chapter is around seven o'clock)
After chatting with beekeeper Steve and Rand for a while, Ju An planned to visit old Leonard and let Rand go about his business.
I got on the horse, followed the two men and separated, urging the horse to run towards the west. After walking for a while, I felt that the sky was slowly getting darker. When I looked up, I saw that a dark cloud had covered the sun. This place
, the weather is like a child's face, it changes at a moment's notice. It looks like it's going to rain, so I immediately urge the horse to run forward. If my estimate is good, there should be a cowboy camp ahead.
After running for less than five minutes, heavy raindrops began to fall. Ju An quickly pulled the reins and let the horse run towards the woods not far away. When they entered the woods, one person and one horse were almost wet.
It was already raining, and the woods were not a good place to hide from the rain. Turning his head to see if there was no one around, Ju An immediately ducked into the space with his horse.
As soon as the brown Kuat entered the space, he was stunned for a moment, and then started to have fun. Ju An opened the gate of the fenced yard and let the horse go out to graze. He took off his coat and everything else, and finally even took off his underwear.
He also took off his clothes, hung them on the fence, and started walking around with his bare buttocks.
Walking near the pond, Ju An touched his butt and felt that it was still a little sticky, so he went for a swim. Thinking of this, he slowly walked towards the pond. The comfortable pond water covered his neck, making every pore of his body feel wet.
I got comfortable, played the dog paddle for a while, and now I am standing proudly.
Its belly was floating on the water, and a big face stretched out. When Ju An took a look, he didn't know when the horse had arrived in the pond. It was standing next to Ju An with its head raised, and the horse was enjoying it with his friends.
Now, looking at the four legs that are ruffled under the water, they are also very rhythmic and look better than my brothers.
He raised his head and looked at the horse's back, only to realize that the horse had also come down with its saddle. Now the entire saddle was soaked in water. Ju An immediately reached out and patted the horse's head: "You are feeling comfortable. This saddle has made
Didn’t my wet brother immediately sit on his butt full of water? If you didn’t know better, you would have thought that such an adult as this brother actually peed his pants.”
Anyway, I've almost finished washing myself. As for how long it took for the horse to run in and wash, it's none of my business. He took the horse's reins and pulled the horse for a while. The puppy swam towards the edge of the pond. When he reached a place where he could stand, Ju An held it.
I stood at the bottom of the pond, and as soon as I stepped on it, I felt something move. I immediately reached out my hand, grabbed it, and threw it to the shore. When I looked up, I saw a large catfish over fifty centimeters jumping on the shore.
Ju An led the horse to the shore. The catfish had no strength to jump anymore and lay motionless on the grass. Ju An immediately took a bucket from the yard and got a small half bucket of water from the pond to raise the catfish.
, I plan to get catfish powder skin or catfish tofu at home to eat.
Then I looked at the catfish in the bucket and felt that one seemed not enough. I immediately took the sniffer net and went naked into the pond. After a while of poking, a few catfish actually came up. But the majority were carp, herring and the like.
I threw the rest of the fish into the pond. These fish were a bit greasy at home, and in the end I left a small half bucket of shrimps. This stuff is suitable for all ages, and everyone likes to eat it.
Carrying the bucket, he walked naked to the yard, looked outside the space, and found that the rain had stopped, and the big sun was hanging in the sky again. Ju An put down the bucket, got dressed in twos and twos, and took the
The horse moved out of space.
Kua Te, who had just left the space, was very unhappy. He rubbed his horse's face and rubbed Ju An's back, trying to get back into the space. He stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck: "Go! Go! Are you still planning on doing this?"
Living there permanently? No one in Doucao is treated like this now!" He reached out to grab the reins and touched the saddle. He felt that at least the cowhide on the saddle was dry, so he got on the horse and continued running towards the west.
On the road, I met several groups of cowboys driving cows. I greeted the cowboys and introduced myself face to face. Then I asked a few seemingly unreliable questions, and then I found out who Leonard was.
The specific location was adjusted and the direction was rushed.
After walking for a while, I heard the loud cry of an eagle in the sky. I looked up and saw that the child, who didn't know whether it was Da Jin or Xiao Jin, was hovering in the sky. When I saw Ju An flying lower and lower, Ju An quickly stopped him.
He took off the reins and straightened his arms. The golden eagle slowly approached Ju An. He stretched out his two sharp claws and gently grasped Ju An's arm before standing on it. Ju An retracted his arm and put the golden eagle away.
Arriving at the front saddle bridge of the saddle
, urging the horse forward with the golden eagle, after running a few steps, another figure of the eagle appeared in the sky, also circling around Ju An, one man and one horse, and flew very close to Ju An.
It was certain that this eagle was definitely not the child of Da Jin and Xiao Jin. It was a bit smaller. Looking at the golden eagle standing on the saddle, it kept trying to flap its wings. Ju An speculated that it was probably the daughter-in-law of the little guy on the saddle.
He stretched out his arms and released the golden eagle.
Seeing the two eagles chasing each other in the sky and gradually moving away, Ju An withdrew his gaze.
The big ranch was a bit disadvantageous, and it was too hard to find someone. It took a lot of effort for Ju An to find Leonard, an old bald man.
"It's really not easy to find you now. If I were a novice riding a horse, the skin of my thighs would probably be worn out." Ju An got off the horse and said to Leonard.
Leonard said with a smile: "Why did you come here on horseback from such a long distance? You could have just driven the car. It seems that you encountered heavy rain on the road, but there were plenty of places to hide from the rain, and you didn't see anything on your body.
How wet!”.
"I found a few big trees to hide from the rain. I'm not stupid. Why are I running in the rain?" Ju An looked around and continued: "In the future, we will need two helicopters to fly here. What if
You have to tire the horse to death after running a lap.”
Leonard smiled and said: "Let's go! Go eat first. After dinner, I will go back with you. Don't ride the horse. Follow me and drive back. Leave the horse to the cowboy and send it over when they go over there. Immediately
In the afternoon, the temperature gets a little higher, and the cowboys will drive the cattle to the shade on the hillside, which is nothing to see." After that, he led Ju An and walked towards a camp not far away.
"Yeah! That's good," Ju An said, nodding after the old man.
The lunch at the camp was very special. It wasn’t all beef or mutton. Of course, there were still lamb chops in the pasture. The old man prepared a fish for each person. It looked quite similar to the crucian carp at home. Of course, the old man didn’t
He knows braised fish, sweet and sour, etc., just grilled fish. When waiting for the old man to bring a large plate full, Ju An looked at the fish on the plate and smiled at Leonard and asked: "Why don't you do it too?"
Do you like to eat this kind of freshwater fish?".
"This is tilapia. It has few spines and is very convenient to eat. I can't stand the Chinese crucian carp you eat. It has too many spines. This kind of fish is gradually becoming popular in the United States." Leonard stabbed it with a fork
He put a piece of fish meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Ju An also took a piece of it with a fork and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good, but the old man's roasting it was a bit wasteful. If you put some chopped green onion, some garlic and some coriander, it would taste better. Deal with it.
How could a piece of fish fill Ju An's belly? Then the lamb chops on the plate went into Ju An's belly one after another, and finally two or three salted potatoes also entered into Ju An's belly. Only then did he let go.
My belly is satisfied.
After finishing the meal, Ju An said to Leonard: "This tilapia is really good. Where did you get it?". This fish is really good. The key is that it has few spines and the taste is very good to Ju An.
taste.
Leonard smiled and said, "Of course I bought it from the supermarket in Kingman!".
"Oh!" Since they are available in supermarkets, that's good. Let me buy some when I get home and ask my mother to make braised fish. It will definitely taste better than what Leonard, an old bald man, makes.
After eating, Ju An and Leonard took a short rest and then drove towards the main building of the ranch.
The air conditioning in the car made it much more comfortable. Ju An even took a nap in the car and was already there when he opened his eyes.
After getting out of the car, he saw the sparkling artificial lake in the sunshine not far away. Ju An asked Leonard: "Why don't we just raise some tilapia, catfish and shrimp in this lake?"
Even a lake that is not that big is wasted!”.
"Now there are bullfrogs and a lot of shrimps here. Cowboys will catch some when they want to eat, especially shrimps. Basically every cowboy will go to the lake to get some every two or three days. Now you have to
Raise tilapia?" Leonard asked looking at Ju An.
Ju An nodded: "Of course, for such a big lake, you have to earn the labor cost of digging the lake." The brothers had forgotten that they had released bullfrogs and shrimps into the lake before, so we just decided to go together.
After raising it, he continued to say to Leonard: "Whatever freshwater fish Americans like to eat, except tilapia, just raise them together, don't need anyone to take care of them, just leave them there casually, and the cowboys can eat them if they want."
You can try to change your appetite."
"Catfish, there are relatively few bones and it's not too much trouble to eat." Leonard suggested to Ju An after hearing what Ju An said.
"Okay! You can get some of these small fry and put them into the lake in a while. Maybe we can sell some fish next year," Ju An said, patting Leonard on the shoulder.
After chatting with the old man for a few words, Ju An returned to his house and squatted in the air-conditioned room to avoid the sunshine outside. He took a comfortable nap until about five o'clock in the afternoon before waking up. When he woke up, the sun was already hanging in the sky.
After reaching the top of the mountain, looking at the orange-red sun, Ju An laughed twice and stretched, feeling that he was really living a life like a fairy.
