Brian had already set up the iron shelf and put the pot on the shelf, so he asked Zhang Chi for his opinion on what to eat for lunch, which was a big deal for Brian.
Why?
When it comes to camping, how to eat and have fun is naturally the top priority. As for finding cattle and so on, Brian didn't believe it at first, and now he doesn't believe it even more after a few hours of travel.
In the past, when we were traveling around mountains and rivers, it was not as comfortable as the three of us now, and we were looking for cows. If Brian could speak Chinese, he must have thought in his heart: What a six! The three of us can lie down together.
Zhang Chi was not paying attention to what he was eating at the moment. He was still paying attention to the bold gray-tailed finch. This guy was really brave. When he saw Zhang Chi throwing the bun to Gouzi, he actually
Jumping towards the dog.
"What to eat?" Zhang Chi asked.
Brian felt that his boss must have been distracted. He asked him what he wanted to eat, but why did he come back?
"BOSS, I asked you what to eat right away? Why did you ask again?" Brian repeated.
Brian felt that he was not the BOSS. He could only ask questions, but he had no right to decide what to eat for lunch today.
Just as Zhang Chi was about to answer, he saw the gray-tailed sparrow coming to Erhu's side and fixating his eyes on the bun next to Erhu.
Erhu was very calm and did not look at the gray-tailed sparrow.
This made Zhang Chi feel a little bad. It was impossible for Erhu not to care about the bun in front of him. Erhu cherished food very much. Just like Ergou, Erhu was a woman who knew how to live a good life and was not picky about food.
This is one of their advantages.
Zhang Chi felt that it didn't matter, but the gray-tailed bird didn't seem to care about the two tigers. It stood directly next to the bread. Its small body was not much bigger than a piece of bread.
After taking a small bite of the bread, the gray-tailed bird chirped at the two tigers.
Erhu still didn't look at the gray-tailed finch.
Seeing that the two tigers still didn't look at it, the gray-tailed finch became more courageous and began to lower its head and eat the bread, each bite after another.
Just when Zhang Chi was wondering when Erhu would take action, Erhu tilted his head and took the gray-tailed bird into his mouth like lightning.
It was so fast. If Zhang Chi hadn't been staring at it, he might have been dazzled.
"A few mouthfuls of bread are exchanged for a piece of meat. This business is perfect," Zhang Chi said to Erhu.
Zhang Chi doesn't care about the life or death of the gray-tailed finch. As for whether the two tigers will eat the gray-tailed finch, you don't need to ask this question. What are the two tigers? In addition to the sheep in the pasture, they will not eat it, the cattle will not eat it, and the humans will not eat it.
Besides, if it doesn't eat other things, there is only one reason: that thing cannot be eaten.
They can be as big as rabbits, as small as field mice, and sometimes even grasshoppers are treated as snacks. How could this gray-tailed finch escape?
Brian also saw the whole process in his eyes. He was a little emotional and seemed to be talking to himself: "If you don't have the strength, you have to go to dangerous places. How many lives are there to lose? Be smart in the next life."
a little".
Zhang Chi smiled after hearing this.
At this time, Cannon said to Brian: "Okay, after the two tigers eat the sparrow, you can sigh, why don't you become a writer and write those messy things to make money."
Brian smiled after hearing this: "I want to do it too, but what should I do if I can't sell it?"
"Okay, don't think about it now, hurry up and find firewood," Cannon said with a smile.
Brian listened and said: "I just asked the boss what to eat for lunch, but he didn't answer."
"No matter what you eat for lunch, you have to find firewood," Cannon laughed.
Zhang Chi stood up after hearing this and walked towards the forest nearby.
It's so easy to collect firewood in the forest. There are dead branches and branches everywhere, and some of them are just tree trunks as thick as a bowl. If you really can't drag it alone, this thing will fall apart when you get it back to the camp.
Enough to keep warm for three or four days.
Only the ones that are as thick as an arm are taken, and they should not be too long. If they are too long, they will have to be broken with their feet. There is too much firewood, and Zhang Chi does not want to do this job. He would rather look to the side.
Sometimes people can be so lazy that they immediately pick up material things when they are rich.
After a while, Zhang Chi came back with an armful of firewood.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhang Chi found that Brian and Cannon had both returned, and two obvious piles of firewood were placed in the camp.
Zhang Chi put down the firewood and started to light a fire. No matter what he eats, he must first boil some water to drink. Cannon and Brian are used to drinking cold water. Even in winter, these guys may have to drink cold water.
Add some ice cubes or something, how can they drink hot water now?
But Zhang Chi can't do it. He needs to drink hot water, the best hot water for making tea.
When the fire was lit, Zhang Chi discovered that the water purification device over there had not started working yet, so he turned on the machine again, took a pot of stream water and poured it into the purification tank.
The fire was lit but the water was not yet boiling, so Zhang Chi had to put out the fire again.
Just after the fire was put out, Cannon and Brian came back. The two guys emerged one after the other, one from the southeast and the other from the southwest.
"Did you two agree?" Zhang Chi asked jokingly.
"It was purely accidental," Cannon said.
Just when Zhang Chi was about to say something, he suddenly heard a horse neighing.
Zhang Chi looked towards the direction of the horse's neighing. Daniel and Erhu also stood up at this moment, looking straight at the direction of the sound.
"BOSS, how many people do you think there are?" Kankan asked with a smile.
Zhang Chi said: "Just listen to the sound, and you can't hear clearly. How can I know how many people there are?"
Brian opened his mouth and said: "There are at least five people and about seven horses!"
Zhang Chi looked at Brian in surprise after hearing this. After a few glances, his eyes turned to Cannon, wondering if Brian's guess was correct.
Cannon nodded: "Yes, the Smith family from St. Bernard Town also came here to look for cattle. I just met them when I was collecting firewood."
"Where are they going? This news spread so fast, even people from St. Bernard got involved," Brian said with a sigh.
Cannon said: "They were going to the reserve and heard that someone had spotted cattle in that direction."
Brian smiled and said: "Some people say? Who in this place will tell others, and he will be considered a good person if he doesn't point you in the opposite direction."
Looking for cattle seems to have become a secret now. No one is willing to tell others. Except for Lao Xu who has sold the cattle, it seems that what everyone said is a bit unreliable.
Saint Bernard?
Zhang Chi is a bit confused. Many of the place names here in the United States are copied from European place names. Whatever is new, that's how it came about.
There are quite a few place names like St. Bernard, and there are quite a few small towns that Zhang Chi knows. They are probably a bit like the human equivalents of Zhang Wei, Wang Gang, and Jack.
After Cannon explained, Zhang Chi finally knew where the small town of St. Bernard was. It was quite far from Amber, and it took almost two hours to drive.
Of course, this distance is not too far for Americans. The country on wheels is not called it for nothing. It takes thirty or forty minutes to drive to the supermarket here in the countryside. Is it a long way to go in two hours?
Cannon started talking about the Smith family. Obviously, the Smith family was one of Cannon's former bosses, and Cannon may have been a little unhappy in their home.
However, we have no contact with each other now, and Cannon didn't say anything bad about his former employer, he just said that the family was stingy.
While we were talking, the work of the water filter was completed.
Cannon added water to the pot and asked Zhang Chi at the same time: "BOSS, I think it's better to use the self-heating pot. After all, time is tight."
The three of them chatted together for twenty minutes. If cooking and rest time were included, it would probably take more than an hour.
I rested here for more than an hour, but when the sun went down, I couldn't reach the camp for the night.
If this half of Central Layang is looking for another place to camp, it's really not easy to find. The water source for the first born must be clean. For your own BOSS, find him a small mud pit and let him filter it. I guess he can kill people.
"Okay, okay" Zhang Chi nodded and said.
After hearing this, Brian came to the luggage bag, opened the drawstring of the bag, stretched his head and started to taste the pot.
Although it is all in Chinese, the Chinese shop owner here very thoughtfully printed English on it with stickers.
This thing didn't exist before, but now this kind of self-heating pot has become popular, at least when the cowboys are transitioning or something. In the past, they just made it briefly, but now most of them eat it and wait until they have a rest at night before they can stew it.
Serve a pot of meat and serve it with potatoes that have never changed for thousands of years.
After reporting, the three of them each chose the flavor they wanted, and then started to brew the pot with filtered water.
After the pot was soaked and the water in the pot was boiling, Zhang Chi made a cup of scented tea and drank the scented tea while eating from the pot. Except for the difference in the place where he sat, he felt the same as at home.
Daniel and Erhu also made money today, because when people ate the self-heating pot, they each got a big bone with meat. At a glance, they could tell whether it was leftover or picked out by the construction team.
.
Zhang Chi's family rarely removes the bones and leaves so much meat on top. Aunt Lu is preparing to make big bone stick soup, which is called Diaogao soup.
The mouths of Daniel and Erhu were very strong, and their teeth and bones touched together, making a clicking sound.
I have to say that the bite force of the two dogs is really amazing. The teeth marks on the bones of the dog are like a small hacksaw.
After finishing the pot, Zhang Chi and the three of them were all full. Even if the pot was not enough, everyone also brought pancakes. The real pancakes are not made in Chinese style, but in South America. Cannon's specialty is a bit like
Domestic single pancakes can be rolled, but they are thicker.
It's so doughy that it's a bit cumbersome to bite, but when you dip the pancake in broth or something, it tastes great.
