Lao Xu came over to ask Cannon for a favor. After Cannon agreed, he was ready to leave.
When he was about to turn around, he glanced suddenly and saw a sheep sitting under Zhang Chi's butt. At first, he thought he was dazzled. Who would sit on a sheep with nothing to do? This thing didn't smell good.
Hey, the meat still smells good when you eat it, but forget it normally. No matter how clean the sheepfold is, it can't get rid of the smell of these guys.
"What are you doing? You're all too fashionable now. You won't sit on the haystacks, but you're working as a sheep instead?" Lao Xu said to Zhang Chi, and then left.
This time is different from other days. It is going to rain soon, and the construction has reached the critical stage. Many of the four walls have been raised and have not yet been topped. Didn’t the rain soak the inside? This is not good.
It was a little troublesome because the house was made of wood. If there was water, the house would be repaired in the future, so now he was hurriedly preparing to work on the roof.
"Don't go, we're going to eat sheep at noon!" Zhang Chi called out to Lao Xu.
Lao Xu didn't even think about it: "That's not possible today. It's okay to call me if you want to eat sheep, but I really don't have time to help you with the sheep. Also, I'm having braised noodles for lunch today. The braised noodles are made by Sister Lu.
Very good".
"I'll go, Aunt Lu has almost become a country cook, she knows everything," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Lao Xu hummed and immediately ran out of the stable.
Zhang Chi wanted to stop Lao Xu, but he didn't know what to do. Eat mutton? It was Zhang Chi's turn to call Lao Xu?
Mainly because Zhang Chi didn't want to take care of the sheep today, so he called Lao Xu. Moreover, Zhang Chi had something to do today and was going to the city to buy things soon.
When Cannon saw the appearance of his boss, he smiled and said: "It seems that everyone has almost eaten mutton. A bowl of noodles actually defeated the mutton."
"Who says it's not the case?" Zhang Chi said with a little emotion.
However, this is actually normal. This is the west, where there is not much, except for cattle and sheep, and beef and mutton are cheap. On the contrary, the price of vegetables is more expensive than elsewhere, especially the vegetables that we Chinese often eat.
At the beginning, Zhang Chi supplied unlimited beef. Lao Xu was not too embarrassed, so he would buy some sheep and pigs to eat with him from time to time.
Even if you eat meat often, you will get tired of it, so Lao Xu later bought vegetables and cooked them the way we Chinese do.
But after doing it for a few days, Lao Xu realized that it was no longer possible. The price was too high, and he couldn't afford it every day.
Lao Xu got all his vegetables from Aunt Feil, who was in business and made a living by selling vegetables.
She didn't care if someone like Zhang Chi had nothing to do to gather some wool or something, but if someone like Lao Xu had dozens of families working together, no matter how cheap the vegetables were, Aunt Fei would definitely not do it, because her vegetables
If someone wants it, why should they give it to Lao Xu at a discounted price?
Even if Aunt Fei was willing, Lao Xu would be embarrassed, why would he accept such a great favor if he was not a relative.
So most of the time, the food on the construction site is Western food. Beef and mutton are either grilled or fried, and then served with potatoes, broccoli and other things.
Only then did the cost of food come down.
Zhang Chi thought for a moment, stood up from the sheep, stretched out his legs and kicked the sheep on the crotch: "You are lucky today, if... hum!"
As he spoke, Zhang Chi untied the sheep's hooves.
As soon as the little lamb was freed from the restraints, he immediately disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Chi drove into the car and went to the city. When he was waiting to come back, he found that Melika had taken the two cowboys back to the ranch.
The two of them, Zhang Chi, also knew each other. They were both bachelors in their thirties. Bachelors were not uncommon in the cowboy industry. They had little money and it was difficult to support themselves, let alone support their families. American girls were not drinking.
Growing up in Xianshui, they don’t need to eat. They also have emotions and desires, and they naturally also care about a man’s financial foundation.
After meeting and chatting for a few words, as the BOSS, Zhang Chi naturally didn't need to care too much about the feelings of these two people like before, and just left it to Cannon.
At noon, everyone naturally eats braised noodles.
Aunt Lu's cooking is pretty good, but Zhang Chi has never eaten normal braised noodles anyway, so as long as the taste is not hard to swallow, Zhang Chi thinks it's a good job, not to mention what Aunt Lu makes is quite delicious.
Especially the small potato cubes in the stew are cooked to perfection. They are not hard even if they are hard. The texture in your mouth is very unique, and the distribution of hardness and glutinousness is very clever.
The young couple Zhang Chi and Melika ate more than a kilogram of noodles while eating braised noodles. Each of them had about a few noodles in their stomachs.
Not to mention the workers, a large bucket of braised pork and several buckets of noodles were scooped up within half an hour by the workers and a few cowboys from Zhangchi Ranch.
The new cowboy came to the bucket with a bowl, stretched his head and looked at the brine bucket, and then looked at the noodle bucket, and found that the bottom was dry, so he left a little disappointed.
"Jack, do you still eat?"
My companions who came with me thought that Jack was a bit useless. Although this food is delicious, you have already eaten three big bowls. If you still eat it, aren't you afraid of filling your stomach?
Speaking of his companion, he couldn't help but stand up. He held the bowl in one hand and turned his belt with the other hand. Cowboys' belts are slightly wider than ordinary belts.
There was no pressure at all when talking about people, but I forgot that I had eaten one more bowl than Jack.
It hurts my throat, but I still have the nerve to tell others.
Now that I have eaten too much, I feel a little weak when squatting, so this person came out and tugged on his belt.
After I pulled up my belt and wanted to sit down, I thought it would be better to stand.
"I'll go take a look," Jack said casually.
He did want to eat another bowl of cowboy food, which was not really pig food, but the same food every day made all the cowboys on the Colorado ranch tired of eating it.
Those same dishes have been served for years, do you think it makes people who eat them go crazy?
I want to improve the food. Sorry, the cafeteria in the ranch is not your hotel. You can order food. If you want to eat something special, then you can only eat outside.
Jack and the two just came here today, and they thought they were frying steak or something. Who would have thought that it had nothing to do with steak, and they were actually eating Chinese noodles.
Before eating it, he was curious about what the Chinese noodles tasted like, but after he put it into a bowl and Ms. Lu put a spoonful of marinade in his bowl, Jack was convinced and felt that this stuff was much better than spaghetti.
went.
He was sitting with everyone else, and there was no formal place for him. He just sat wherever it was convenient for him, holding a bowl in one hand and a tachyon in the other.
After the first bowl, Jack wanted to imitate some Chinese people and eat a clove of garlic, but after he took a bite, he gave up this stupid idea. He really couldn't stand the taste of raw garlic.
After eating, the two of them got together.
Although the two of them are not social terrorists, they are naturally a little restrained in the new environment. At this time, Cannon and Zhang Chi were counting items, and Bryan was working with the workers. The two newcomers
I came here not knowing what to do.
But they were finally discerning people. After a while, the two began to help the workers with some chores. As soon as they started doing this work, everyone naturally became more and more enthusiastic.
In the evening, the sun is about to go down, and it’s time to eat again. What we eat in the evening is still the braised noodles at noon.
Jack and Jack were very happy to open their cheeks and eat.
When they finished eating, they saw the workers starting to work again, so the two of them naturally wanted to help.
However, the two of them were very strange while they were working, because the construction workers they met all got off work when they arrived. You can't even think of them staying for a while. Why are these Chinese people so hardworking?
At around eight o'clock, Lao Xu came over and asked Jack and Jack to rest.
Lao Xu not only let the two of them rest, but also gave them some money. This is the rule. Whether you hire someone to work or hire a friend to work here, you have to calculate the money. Others can not take it, but you
You can't not give it.
Lao Xu obviously had no intention of taking advantage of the two of them.
"It's okay, we're okay."
Jack accepted the money and said that he was fine and could continue to work.
Lao Xu is short of manpower here. Otherwise, he can ask Cannon and Brian to come over to help. After hearing this, he immediately arranged for the two of them to continue working.
At midnight, we started eating again.
Or braised noodles!
The workers suddenly became less enthusiastic than the previous two meals, but Jack and the two ate happily, and felt that the food provided by the boss and his wife at the ranch was really good, at least much better than the food at the ranch where he worked.
Zhang Chi didn't eat another meal of braised noodles, and he couldn't bear to eat the same thing three times in a row, so he went home, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, and poured it on rice to fill his stomach.
Return to the construction site and continue working.
When the last beam was put in place, it was already past two o'clock in the night.
It took another half an hour to spread the raincloth and compact it.
Everyone had finished their work and was just about to leave when a cool breeze started to pick up.
The cool breeze at this time blew onto people's faces, which was a bit stinging.
With the light wind, the sky darkened. It was originally a gray sky, but now it seemed like there was no light or shadow at all.
Following the breeze, the raindrops fell, hitting the awning behind them with a crisp pattering sound.
Lao Xu saw the rain falling and stretched out his hand to catch it, feeling the raindrops falling on his palms.
"Fortunately, the work is done. If it were delayed any longer, it would be troublesome." Old Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He now has a lot of work on his hands, and the time is tight. It is impossible to delay Zhang Chi's project. Now he has finally regained a little time in Xiao Yu's hands.
Zhang Chi said: "Don't be too nervous, I'll have no problem delaying it for a week."
Lao Xu said: "I can't delay Guan Jian. Okay, there is no problem now. Go back and have a good sleep."
Zhang Chi looked at the light rain above his head, hoping it would fall faster so that he could enter the mountain earlier.
