Cannon's praise was very helpful to Zhang Chi, and his face was filled with a silly joy of getting something cheap and being good.
At this time, Aunt Lu came over, holding a plate in her hand with some dead dough pancakes on it.
"This pancake is delicious when dipped in soup."
Aunt Lu smiled at Cannon and said.
"Thank you." After Cannon said some thanks, he picked up a piece of pancake from the plate, rolled it into a roll, soaked it in beef offal soup, took it out, and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Hmm, it tastes great."
Aunt Lu was a little speechless. She meant to eat it with fish soup, but who knew that the cowboy went straight to the beef offal pot full of red oil.
But seeing that he didn't find it too spicy at all, she smiled and turned back to her own kitchen cart.
Cannon looked at Aunt Lu's back and said, "This lady doesn't look like a chef, she looks like a university professor."
Zhang Chi did not answer his question.
The two of them continued to chat about the ranch while eating. It was obvious that Cannon looked a lot when he entered the ranch according to his professional habits, and now he was talking to Zhang Chi about what he should pay attention to.
As a novice rancher, Zhang Chi naturally listens to other people's opinions with an open mind. Anyway, no matter whether they are there or not, he just listens.
Snapped!
Zhang Chi casually patted it because there was a mosquito lying on his arm sucking blood.
"You should change into long sleeves," Cannon said with a smile when he saw Zhang Chi's appearance.
Zhang Chi replied: "It's a bit hot to drink and eat the pot."
As he said this, his mind could not help but subconsciously say to the gourd floating in the air: Get rid of these annoying bastards!
The mosquitoes here are really annoying. They are big and stubborn. They are always accurate when swatted. However, when they are swatted, there will be a pool of blood on the palm of the hand, which is annoying to look at.
After swatting the desperate mosquitoes to death, Zhang Chi and Cannon continued to eat.
The two dishes on the table were of large portions, and the two of them took a long time to eat, so the dishes would naturally get cold. However, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically and there was no reason to stop.
Besides, Cannon didn't have much to do tomorrow, so the two of them warmed up the food as soon as it was cold and continued eating and chatting.
I drank like this from the time the sun set until late at night.
The workers were all asleep, and the two of them were still chatting.
A large pot of beef offal and a fish weighing seven to eight pounds were consumed by the two men within a few hours. In addition to these, there were a dozen empty beer bottles beside the table.
"You can't drink any more. If you drink any more, you won't be able to leave tomorrow." Cannon's reason finally came back. Seeing that Zhang Chi wanted to drink, he stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Okay, let's stop here today and drink when we have time."
Zhang Chi was also a little dizzy after drinking. Seeing what Cannon said, he walked down the slope.
"Stop driving and stay here for one night."
Zhang Chi looked at Cannon and felt that he might not be able to drive now, so he invited him to stay directly.
Cannon also knew that he had drunk a little too much, so he nodded.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, just give me a sofa. Oh, no, I can just sleep over there like them." Cannon was about to say sleep on the sofa, but then he remembered that Zhang Chi's house hadn't been built yet.
, where is there a sofa for him to sleep on.
However, when he turned around, he found that in the half-built house, some workers were lying under the almost completed porch frame.
It's not winter now, so it doesn't matter where to sleep. What's more, for a cowboy, it's nothing new to eat and sleep in the open when the host's house is changing.
Zhang Chi didn't say much. It was impossible for him to give up his RV to Cannon and sleep on the porch himself.
Fortunately, Cannon's guy brought everything with him. Cannon, who was a little fussy, still had some sense. He took his luggage and went to find an empty place under the porch, put down his sleeping bag, and got into the sleeping bag.
After a while he fell asleep.
Zhang Chi drank a lot. As for packing things, he didn't have such thoughts now. He got into the RV and cooked the pig's head.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was already very high outside.
I got up, opened the door of the RV, and found Chi Yanshan standing at my door, with big nostrils.
"Sorry, I drank a little too much and didn't hear you knocking on the window."
Zhang Chi scratched his head, walked up to Chi Yanshan, reached out and patted the bridge of its nose.
"Eh! That's not right. Why should you care about me? I've given you face, haven't I?"
He said this, but he still didn't want to hit Chiyanshan. He raised his hand high and just slapped Chiyanshan on the neck.
Turning his eyes, Zhang Chi found that the table was already clean. The messy things from yesterday were no longer there. Even the beer bottles under the table had disappeared.
Without asking, Zhang Chi knew who helped him. He walked up to Aunt Lu's kitchen cart and thanked Aunt Lu first, who was choosing vegetables.
"It's okay, it's all a hands-on matter. You drank a little too much yesterday. I'll get you a bowl of porridge later. Eat some of this to nourish your stomach after drinking."
Aunt Lu put down what she was doing and turned to Zhang Chi to serve a bowl of porridge. The red bean and rice porridge was so cooked that the rice grains almost stuck together.
"Would you like some pickles?"
"No, no, that's fine."
Zhang Chi didn't find a place to sit while holding the porridge, and just started sucking it away.
The red bean and rice porridge was really fragrant. I don’t know if it was because of the wine he drank yesterday or because Aunt Lu was good at her craftsmanship. Anyway, Zhang Chi drank two large bowls of it. He didn’t put down the bowl with satisfaction until he scraped the bottom of the pot.
Wiped his mouth.
"Shall I help you choose the food?"
Zhang Chi felt a little embarrassed.
Aunt Lu said: "I can't let you do this job, otherwise Boss Xu will talk to me again when he comes. I have nothing to do here, you can go about your business."
"Where's Cannon?"
Only then did Zhang Chi remember Cannon as a guest.
"He left early in the morning. He got up much earlier than you. I haven't made breakfast yet and he has already left. Before leaving, he asked me to say thank you to you."
"oh!"
Zhang Chi saw that Aunt Lu had no work for him to do, so he rode up Chiyan Mountain and began to inspect his pasture.
After what Cannon said yesterday, Zhang Chi looked at the pasture more carefully.
When I looked at it, I realized that almost all the grass in my pasture was unified into giant grass, and the grass had grown taller. Originally it could only reach the calf, but now most of the pasture has reached the knees.
The colorful flowers and the like were no longer visible at all. Except for some trees, the entire pasture was all green.
When the breeze from the valley blew in from the mouth of the valley, the grass in the entire pasture began to turn into green waves, layer by layer, in curls, until it was out of sight.
I walked around the fence and found that there was nothing wrong with the fence. There was nothing for wild animals to take advantage of.
Zhang Chi reined in the reins and stood on the small slope at the foot of the mountain. When he looked at his pasture from north to south, he felt that it was very different from the previous days.
The greenery of the sky stretched before his eyes, and the herds of cattle in the distance were like small patterns on the green carpet. The pasture, the calves and the sky seemed to have all merged into one.
This sight made Zhang Chi feel that his mind had broadened and his breathing became easier.
After sitting on the horseback enjoying the view for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi returned to his small RV and began to prepare lunch.
Just when Zhang Chi was thinking about what to eat for lunch today, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound.
As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was from a rat, so Zhang Chi followed the sound to the corner of the RV to see why the rat was so bold and came to steal things from him in broad daylight.
When Zhang Chi saw the mouse, he couldn't help but be happy.
Because at this moment, the two small dogs were biting on the mouse's neck.
The mouse is quite big, much bigger than Ergou, a kitten. But now that Ergou has bitten its neck, it probably has no choice but to squeak, not sure whether it is begging for mercy or not.
Call your companions.
This was the first time Zhang Chi saw a kitten with a head of milk hair catching mice, and it was catching such a big mouse.
Rats are field mice, also known as voles. They are not a good thing for pastures. They are completely pests. Not only do they steal food, they also make holes all over the ground.
Once there are too many of these things, the pasture will be full of mouse holes, and the grass will not grow well. Not only the grass will not grow well, but if you ride a horse, the horse will miss the mark and fall directly into it. At worst, the horse's legs will be broken, and at worst, the horse's legs will be broken.
People return to the west.
It's just that Zhang Chi hasn't thought about this problem yet. He is watching Ergou catching the mouse with relish.
The two dogs with a head of milk hair said nothing, just biting the mouse's neck tightly, and put their two small paws on the mouse's back. Because of the difference in size, the two dogs looked like they were hanging on the mouse.
Same.
A gray mouse carries a small raccoon cat on its back. Zhang Chi doesn't know how many people have seen this, but now he finds it quite interesting.
"Bite it to death, come on, Ergou!"
Zhang Chi encouraged Ergou.
If Ergou could speak human words, he would probably have greeted Zhang Chi's eight generations of ancestors by now.
Woohoo!
A whimper came out of Ergou's mouth.
Zhang Chi continued to encourage Ergou.
"Oh, such a small cat can actually catch mice."
Zhang Chi was startled by the voice and turned around to find that Lao Xu had appeared behind him.
"You don't make any noise when you walk?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lao Xu didn't care at all and said directly: "This kitten of yours is really vicious. It is such a good cat. By the way, is it our civet cat?"
"What do you think?"
"That must be true. Those cowardly cats raised by Americans would probably have to pack their backpacks and run away when they see a mouse, let alone catch them." Lao Xu looked at Ergou with a twinkle in his eye.
Zhang Chi understood what Lao Xu meant. If it hadn't happened today, Zhang Chi might have given the two dogs to Lao Xu. But there is no reason to give them to the teacher now. Such a young cat can catch mice.
, wouldn’t it taste good if you left it alone in the pasture?
"Don't even think about it, I won't give the two dogs away." Zhang Chi immediately dismissed Lao Xu's idea.
Lao Xu smiled awkwardly: "Am I that kind of person?"
Zhang Chi glanced at him, meaning: Are you not?
After the two have been together for a long time, they naturally become more casual when talking.
