After finishing the meal, the two of them cleared away the dishes together. Melika continued to work. Zhang Chi really couldn't remember how his daughter-in-law could find something to do. Even if it was to buy a ranch, he thought it would be enough to just make a few phone calls.
Come on, why can she always find something to do?
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't guess it, so Zhang Chi stopped guessing. As for asking? He wasn't in the mood either. Thinking about all the terms his wife used made his head grow bigger.
His wife wanted to eat tripe, and Zhang Chi remembered it, so Zhang Chi used the excuse of going out for a walk, left the house, found a deserted place, and entered the gourd.
The wagyu beef bought by a good neighbor became Zhang Chi's target. He raised the knife and dropped it. Well, it was actually not that neat. In the gourd, Zhang Chi was the god, so the knife automatically flew over and inserted into the cow's neck.
The cow has nowhere to hide.
Putting the cow down, Zhang Chi calmly began to skin the cow, then disembowelled the cow and took care of it.
There's nothing wrong with beef or anything like that, but it's not easy to take out the cowhide, because the cowhide has the logo of Good Neighbor Ranch. If you take it out, others will know that it's a cow from Good Neighbor Ranch. Zhang Chi doesn't want to be unclear about it.
So the cowhide has to stay in the gourd.
Tomorrow, I would find an excuse to go out to buy beef, and just throw it in the pickup truck and bring it back. Zhang Chi didn't believe it, and it was already peeled into meat. The good neighbor would still know that it was his cattle.
After working for a while, Zhang Chi came out of the gourd. When he returned to the house, he found that Melika was still busy, as if she had not moved.
"Stand up and move around, I've been sitting for a long time," Zhang Chi said.
After hearing this, Melika put down what she was doing, stood up, stretched, twisted her waist and moved her body.
"Where have you been?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi said: "Turn around."
Melika didn't ask any more questions. She didn't have anything to do and spent all day questioning Zhang Chi.
The couple did their own thing, and at ten o'clock, Zhang Chi took Melika to rest.
The young couple slept until dawn.
It was finally clear today. When the couple got up, Lao Xu had already brought his team over. Not only did they come over, but they also started doing the work.
The original old house will be moved to the east, so the foundation will have to be re-laid, and the sewage tank, septic tank, etc. will also have to be dug again.
But this is not a difficult task. Lao Xu brought machinery, and there are also small excavators in Zhang Chi's ranch. Several machines are operated separately, and the efficiency is very high.
In addition to these people, there are more than a dozen people who are digging holes and setting piles at the location of the new stables. The prefabricated cement piles have been transported. The job of these people now is to place them in place, and then the stables can be built.
Assembled.
Zhang Chi came to Lao Xu's side. At this moment, Lao Xu was wearing a safety helmet on his head, with his hands on his hips, directing the workers to work. He looked like a domestic small contractor.
"Old Xu!"
Old Xu turned around and saw Zhang Chi coming over, and drove a car with a smile: "We are a newlywed couple after all. They can't sleep in the sun, sunbathe butts and get out of bed."
"Hahaha" Zhang Chi became happy: "If I don't have more children, how will I divide my family property?"
"It makes sense. Giving birth to children is a big deal here in the United States. If every Chinese has seven or eight children, it won't be long before we can bring Chinese Americans into the mainstream. There is a long way to go!" Old Xu was also happy.
The workers next to me also giggled after hearing this.
Lao Xu said: "You guys can giggle as hard as you want, but listen carefully. Those who have returned to China should hurry up and have children, and those who stay in the United States should also hurry up and have children. Don't do anything serious. There is nothing we can do for the country."
Just give birth to a baby.”
Lao Xu said this so loudly that even the workers in the distance heard it, and all of them grinned.
Many of the workers under Lao Xu are quite old. The core of the workers are in their thirties or forties, and most of them are already married. As for having children, these people really don't have many. It is normal to have two or three children in a family.
The people who come here to do hard work don't have a high level of education, but they are very active in having children. On the contrary, they have read a lot, and they are not serious about having children.
Zhang Chi glanced at the busy workers and said to Lao Xu: "There are a lot of people here today."
Originally, Lao Xu was talking about thirty people, but now it seems that there must be forty or fifty people.
Lao Xu said: "I can't help it. I was delayed for two days. I have to get this time back. Besides, there is another project waiting for me."
"Your business is really good," Zhang Chi said casually.
Lao Xu said: "It's all the villagers who take care of me. Most of the work I do now is given by our own people. Those foreigners prefer Lao Mo's engineering team."
What Lao Xu said was a bit biased. He also took a lot of business from white people, but he ignored it. Zhang Chi liked this and only remembered how good the Chinese people were.
"Aunt Lu, Uncle Chen and the others didn't come over?"
After looking around, Zhang Chi found that Aunt Lu and Uncle Chen who came last time did not come over, so he asked.
"They arrived at noon, so they didn't have to rush to cook," Lao Xu explained.
Zhang Chi just asked casually.
In the following time, Zhang Chi and Lao Xu walked around the construction site, starting work in several places at the same time. Needless to say, this efficiency was really high.
After wandering around for a while, Zhang Chi remembered the cow he had killed last night, so he found an excuse to drive out in his pickup truck. When he came back again, the back truck was filled with several baskets of beef.
Zhang Chi kept some for himself and gave most of the beef to Lao Xu.
Anyway, the cow was not Zhang Chi's, so Zhang Chi was very generous.
You saw that you had done a favor to Lao Xu, your daughter-in-law ate tripe for lunch, and you helped your good neighbor eliminate his sins. You see, everyone benefited!
We, Lao Zhang, are the only ones who are lucky.
At around 12:30 at noon, Zhang Chi left the house after eating. Already full, he started wandering around the construction site again.
"Boss Zhang".
When the workers carrying the bowls saw Zhang Chi, they all showed smiles. There was nothing they could do if they didn't show it. As the old saying goes, you have a short mouth to eat and a short hand to take advantage of others. These workers are still piled with the beef sent by Zhang Chi in their bowls. No.
Zhang Chi didn't even need to say whether he was still a human being if he gave me a smile, they themselves were embarrassed.
"Everyone has good food and drink."
Zhang Chi waved to everyone, looking like a big leader.
“Boss Zhang is so awesome!”
All the workers praised happily.
American beef is cheap, but the beef in the bowl is not cheap. Lao Xu can tell at a glance that the beef is purely grass-fed. If you put this kind of beef on the market, you can buy at least three or four kilograms of ordinary beef for one kilogram.
This kind of beef management is almost equivalent to raising the wages of all workers.
The treatment at Lao Xu's side is good, and the food is of course decent, but no matter how good it is, they don't eat beef like this, so when the workers are happy, they work harder.
Zhang Chi looked at the workers and smiled with an honest look on his face.
At this time, Lao Xu was also squatting on the ground with a bowl, just like the workers, and ate his meal in big mouthfuls.
Zhang Chi walked over at this time, stood next to him and squatted down.
"Want some? The boiled beef cooked by Sister Lu is quite authentic. Let me tell you this, most Sichuan cooks in China are not as good as her," Lao Xu said.
Without waiting for Zhang Chi's reply, Lao Xu continued: "In other words, knowledgeable people can learn everything faster than us old men. Not only do they learn quickly, but they also learn better. Those little beasts in our family...
”.
After all, as a father, I can think of my children’s grades while eating meat.
Zhang Chi smiled: "I'm full."
Zhang Chi knows that Aunt Lu's cooking is good, but his tripe is not bad either. If he didn't have a wife before, he would definitely eat it with them, but now he eats it with them.
It wasn't appropriate. It wasn't that Zhang Chi was inappropriate, but that Melika wasn't used to squatting and eating with a bowl in her arms.
It's not that Melika is coquettish, but that she has never eaten like this since she was a child. If you ask her to change her habits, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Some husbands may do this, but Zhang Chi is not willing to do it. Together,
Everyone has to respect each other and not do everything according to your imagination.
Aunt Lu and her husband, Uncle Chen, came over at about ten o'clock. They were still driving the small dining car, which was both the couple's livelihood and their temporary residence.
Seeing Zhang Chi coming, Aunt Lu took a spoonful of vegetables from the pot, added a little rice, and brought it to Zhang Chi.
"Aunt Lu, I've eaten," Zhang Chi said politely immediately.
Aunt Lu smiled and said: "Eat some after you've eaten. What's the point of having some more, young man?"
Hearing Aunt Lu's words, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think of the sentence on the Internet, Grandma thinks you are hungry!
However, the food tasted really good, so Zhang Chi thanked him and took it.
The portion of beef is also generous and very tender. I don’t know whether it’s the beef that’s better or Aunt Lu’s cooking skills. The boiled beef is really well cooked.
The taste is not too spicy, but if the boiled beef loses its spiciness and garlic flavor, no matter how well you cook it, it will still be a bit uninteresting.
The side dish is soybean sprouts, which are a bit chewy and delicious. These are the bean sprouts made by Aunt Lu herself. Needless to say, they are healthy and green.
Good beef paired with good side dishes creates a delicious dish.
After taking a bite of beef, Zhang Chi extended his thumb to Aunt Lu.
"More if you like," Aunt Lu said with a smile.
Aunt Lu likes this young man Zhang Chi very much. She has met many young people, some are not sensible, and some are too sensible, giving people a fake feeling.
The feeling between Zhang Chi and others is that there is no more or less distance, which makes people very comfortable.
"No, no, I've already eaten it. I'm sure my throat will be sore after just one bowl."
Zhang Chi smiled and made gestures.
When Lao Xu saw it, he smiled and said: "Sister Lu said when I left before, I don't know when I can come back to work on the project. Who would have thought it would only be so long? If you don't have a year, you can build a new house here."
Now, not only have they built a new house, but they have also married a daughter-in-law.”
Aunt Lu was very emotional after hearing this. When she left, she thought it would take several years to come back again. Who knew that in just one year, Zhang Chi, a young man, had created a new situation, which really impressed everyone.
