At this moment, Zhang Chi had Melika sitting next to him. The two of them were sitting side by side on the outdoor sofa, smiling and looking at Xiao Xiao running on the lawn at the door.
The child has now forgotten about Bei, and behind him is Mo Zhi, as well as two other new friends, namely the calf Laifu and the monkey Edamame.
When the calf Laifu saw Zhang Chi coming back, he came over to him. As an alien among cattle, he liked being with people more than staying in the herd.
Amber cattle are different from domestic cattle. Because Amber cattle have the genes of North American bison, their hair is very thick and curly.
The curly hair on an adult cow is thick, and hair removal is very difficult at this time, but the hair on a calf is very soft, fine, and long. Think about it, such small black curly hair growing on the flesh,
Needless to say, the little calf with its pink nose is extremely cute.
It looks like an enhanced version of a highland cow. In terms of appearance, the Amber cow has long black curls, a pink nose, big eyes, and each head has a head of about six to seven centimeters.
The long white eyelashes are better than those of a Highland calf, and no one would have any objection.
As for Maodou, the idleness of this guy is second only to that of its owner Zhang Chi. He used to only play around the house, but now he has learned to walk around. Especially these days when Zhang Chi is not at home, Maodou has been living a small life.
Like flying, almost no one can control it in the entire ranch.
Mo Zhi is scared to death, but Mo Zhi is timid and stays at home most of the time.
They don't dare to provoke the bulls and the two tigers, so they just stay far away.
But the other living animals in the pasture are not afraid of edamame. These three words are not false at all. This guy is at home pulling the tail of the cow and scratching the ears of the sheep. Anyway, it is not annoying and there is nothing he can do.
.
Well now, I have met a human little skin monkey. If Maodou could talk, Sun Xiao might be able to get along with Maodou.
A mountain lion, a human cub, a sub-adult white-browed monkey, and a calf seemed to have become friends the moment they met, and they quickly became familiar with each other, so the lawn at the door became their
Amusement park for fun.
Zhang Juan realized that she had already gotten over the pleasure of masturbating the mountain lion. She was an adult after all. After masturbating for a while, she felt she lost interest and ran to watch the elders play mahjong.
Although she was eager to give it a try, none of the elders would accommodate her. She could just have a fight with her husband at home and put it in front of Zhang Youpeng and others. Not to mention a pot, even half a pot.
Even if you are a second-level person, you still have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will offend your elders and be exploited for sure.
Zhang Chi didn't come forward because he really didn't have any talent in playing mahjong. He only fantasized about betting on gods when he was very young, and then he never thought about living by this thing.
In fact, Melika's mahjong skills are better than Zhang Chi's, but Melika is not very interested in gambling, because she knows that as long as you play this game, you will lose money, because before you play,
The casino has already made a reservation and charges a ticket fee. This thing is actually similar to playing lottery.
Not everyone likes this, so the two of them sat on the sofa, sipping tea and watching their little nephew play. The child's laughter suddenly made the couple feel that the ranch was suddenly more alive and more... Such happiness, even the setting sun on the top of the mountain in the west, which was about to set, was even more glorious.
The happiest person now is Sun Xiao. When did he get such treatment after living in the county town? Let alone the county town, even in the current rural areas, there are not many people who raise cattle and horses. In the past, they raised cattle and horses. Cattle and horses are used for farming. Nowadays, tractors are used. What's more, there are no tractors at home. It is much more convenient to hire people when planting and harvesting than before.
Suddenly so many animals appeared. At this moment, Xiaoxiao probably felt that he had celebrated the New Year ahead of schedule. He felt that his uncle's house was more fun than any amusement park.
Xiao Xiao's laughter now is a string of laughter. Zhang Chi heard the silver bell-like laughter written in the book before and thought it was an exaggeration, but now he heard his little nephew's laughter with a slight milky sound, and then he Knowing that the child was laughing happily was really like a small silver bell ringing in your ears, crisp and sweet, and the mood of the troubled person improved accordingly.
"It would be great if our children could smile like this every day." Zhang Chi looked at his little nephew, and when he looked away, he fell on Melika. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to rub his wife's belly.
Melika smiled and said: "Then you have to wait a few years."
"I'm not afraid of waiting." Zhang Chi felt like he had taken a sip of honey at this moment, so beautiful that it almost bubbled.
"This kid has so much energy."
Zhang Chi paused for a moment, looked at the little guy who was still running, and sighed.
My sister's voice came over at this moment: "We have arrived. Take a look at my brother's house. I told you that it doesn't look big on the video, but when you get here, you will find that it is really big. Look at this cow. I Let me tell you there are more than a thousand cows, look at how strong the American cows are...".
Zhang Chi turned his head and took a look, and found that Zhang Juan was holding a mobile phone in her hand and started taking pictures.
Without even asking, the couple knew that they were making a video call to Sun Yanping at home.
"They are over here!" Zhang Juan turned the camera.
Zhang Chi and Melika waved at their brother-in-law's brain seeds on the mobile phone, and at the same time they saw that their brother-in-law also waved at them.
The face of my brother-in-law flashed in front of me.
"When did you come here? Why is there no movement yet?" Zhang Juan said.
Sun Yanping said: "Who knows, I don't know how. I said there is something else, but I don't know what it is. I'm really annoyed."
Sun Yanping's departure was postponed again, which made him very annoyed.
This time I don’t know what happened and I can’t leave.
But besides being annoyed, he had nothing to do. His ID and everything else were at work, and there was no way out if he wanted to go out on his own, so he had to wait honestly no matter how dissatisfied he was.
At this time, Melika looked at the watch on her wrist and touched Zhang Chi with her arm: "Get ready to cook!"
"Oh, I almost forgot, it's almost time, let's get started!"
After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he patted the armrest and stood up from the sofa.
What do you eat for your first meal at the ranch?
Is there any other choice besides barbecue? There is certainly no such thing. The local cuisine of Amber Town is barbecue, roast mutton and roast beef, and it is also the kind that is beyond the imagination of many people, let alone the Chinese people. , even many Americans, especially those living in eastern cities, are surprised.
The meat has been marinated. This work was completed by Zhang Youliang. Thirty kilograms of selected beef were washed and marinated, and then tied up into a square rectangle, about five or six centimeters.
It's thick and bundled a bit like the backpacks worn by soldiers in old movies.
When Zhang Chi took the meat out of the house, Zhang Juan was already dumbfounded.
"Just cut it in half, it's too much to eat." Zhang Juan subconsciously was polite to her brother. This was just subconscious. It didn't mean that she was polite when she arrived at his brother's house. Moreover, the meat looked too scary.
To be honest, Zhang Juan had not seen such a large piece of beef at a meat stall for many years.
Snapped!
Zhang Chi threw the barbecue dough directly onto the operating table next to the oven.
Now that the space is bigger, the oven doesn’t need to be pushed into the warehouse. It can be placed directly in the corner of the terrace. In addition to the oven, there is also an operating table next to it. It is made of logs, very rough, and a peeled tree trunk.
I took a piece of solid wood that is fifteen centimeters thick, about sixty centimeters wide, and one meter forty-five meters long to make the countertop. The four legs are also a tree pole as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The scars and other scars on it are clearly visible.
"It doesn't matter, I will eat it tonight. It will give me a sense of satisfaction!" Zhang Chi grinned at his sister.
Zhang Juan took a breath after hearing this: "You can't eat it for twice as many people, right? This... this... is too much."
"Let me see, let me see!"
Sun Yanping in the video was a little anxious, why? He couldn't see anything, he could only hear his wife saying that there was too much meat, so he stretched his head as if scratching his heart and lungs, wanting to see how much meat there was.
.
During the Spring Festival, they had seen the things given by their younger brother. The neighbors around them said that they didn’t envy them. They were fake, unless they were gifts. If it wasn’t for a normal family, who would have nothing to do to buy more than 100 kilograms of beef and mutton~!
After hearing this, Zhang Juan turned the lens of her phone and pointed it at the meat on the operating table.
"Is this beef? This is like a dynamite bag from an old movie!" Sun Yanping was also stunned. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of anyone doing this kind of beef.
"How long does it take to bake this thing?" Sun Yanping asked again.
"It's okay, now it can be baked by eight o'clock in the evening." Zhang Chi was thinking a little bit.
As for whether you are hungry or not, a group of old people sitting around the table playing mahjong can definitely last until eight o'clock. Zhang Chi and his wife usually eat around this time, so eating at eight o'clock should be no problem.
"Will such a big piece of meat taste good?" Sun Yanping was worried about this again.
Zhang Juan said: "You can't eat it, so what are you doing with these?"
"I'm not worried about you!" Sun Yanping said with a smile.
Zhang Juan said: "My brother, can you still give me something to eat?"
"Look at you." Sun Yanping was a little embarrassed, but he really didn't have the guts to get angry.
Zhang Chi was secretly happy, and while he was having fun, he was preparing to light a fire. The charcoal for barbecue was prepared by his uncle, and he made the best fruit wood charcoal himself.
Not to mention Americans being stupid, the most expensive charcoal here is also fruit wood charcoal. The charcoal grilled with this thing will have a fruity wood aroma, which is much better than ordinary charcoal.
Moreover, the nearby cowboys can also tell the difference between machine-made charcoal and handmade charcoal. If you are entertaining guests, very important guests, those with this skill will burn some fruit wood charcoal.
It's just that people are lazy nowadays, and self-burning charcoal is troublesome, while machine-made charcoal doesn't need to be so particular, so the raw materials for burning fruit wood charcoal are not expensive.
"Do you want me to bake it?"
Zhang Youliang came over at this time and wanted to help.
Zhang Chi said: "No, uncle, I'll just bake it here."
"Pay attention to the heat. After two hours, change the surface and use a thermometer to test the temperature inside... Forget it, go ahead and bake something else in the small oven. I'll do it myself.
”.
Zhang Youliang was a little bit tongue-tied today. He was so happy that he naturally wanted to let his uncle and aunt eat the best barbecue. To be honest, Zhang Youliang spent a whole morning just marinating the meat.
At six o'clock, I got up and got busy.
If his nephew ruined the meat while roasting, wouldn't all his hard work be in vain? So he simply drove his nephew away and did it himself to really feel at ease.
Being pushed aside by his uncle, Zhang Chi felt that nothing happened to him again.
Zhang Youliang said: "Don't be dumbfounded. I put some mutton skewers in the refrigerator. You take them out, set up the small oven, and you and Xiaojuan will grill and eat them by yourselves. Just treat it like eating."
".
After hearing what his uncle said, Zhang Chi went into the house and took out the meat skewers from the refrigerator. Oh my god, this is a big box. In addition to the beef and mutton skewers, there are also crispy bones, chicken tenders, and some pork belly.
If all this stuff is roasted, how can we eat roast beef? Even if we want to slip through a crack or something, it’s difficult. This skewer is at least eight or nine pounds of meat after removing the pole. Let me and my sister roast it.
