When Melika's eyes fell on the watch on her wrist, she was stunned because the watch showed that it was nine o'clock in the morning.
After doing this calculation, Melika found that she slept for at least ten hours.
Melika hasn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
Firstly, Melika's work is quite busy and it is difficult for her to have time to sleep for ten hours. Secondly, she also has some sleep problems. Even if she sleeps, she only wakes up after four hours at most.
She slept for ten hours at a time, which was a little too long. Melika's subconscious reaction was that her watch was broken. However, she turned to look out the window and looked at the strong light, and she knew that her watch was still running fast.
Accurate, as accurate as usual.
When Melika came back to her senses, she thought that someone had given her some medicine, so she looked at her current state and found that it was not the case.
People, this specifically refers to Zhang Chi. You have to do something to drug her. Now her clothes are in good condition. Melika has a little problem. She knows how to tie bows. There is nothing special about bows, but every time Melika
When tying, all thread ends are required to be the same length, which is not something ordinary people can notice.
If someone had tampered with the bow on her pants, Melika could tell right away.
Now it was obvious that no one had touched the strap.
And she didn't believe that Zhang Chi had such a careful mind.
What's more, the door is still closed, the door pin has been locked from the inside, and the window is even more impossible. The bottom lock of the window that opens up and down has not been opened at all.
After thinking about it for a while, Melika felt that her whole body was full of strength. She had slept for more than ten hours, and she still slept until dawn. This long-lost feeling suddenly made her feel relaxed.
stand up.
After putting her clothes back on, Melika opened the door to her room.
Before I went out, a strong fragrance rushed into my nose.
Melika knew this aroma, it was the aroma of pot stickers coming out of the pot.
As soon as Melika went out, Zhang Chi, who had just finished his work, saw her.
"Whoops! You have really long legs. I just made breakfast here and you got up. Did you get stuck a little bit?" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Melika was in a very good mood at the moment and said to Zhang Chi: "It smells so good."
Zhang Chi said: "This morning it was pot stickers with soy milk."
"Did you wake up early in the morning and make these?" Merica looked at the fried golden pot stickers on the table and the white soy milk in the bowl in front of Cannon, and couldn't help but swallowed secretly.
It’s not easy to eat these in the United States. Of course, there may be places like Chinatown, but people like Melika don’t have the time to find them.
"Have you brought your toiletries?"
Zhang Chi heard that Melika was going to wash up and asked casually.
Melika said: "I have a belt."
Melika almost always carries these things with her for work convenience.
After washing up, Melika sat at the table.
At this time, Cannon said that he had eaten, said politely to the two of them, and walked out of the house.
Melika sat down and picked up a potsticker. Before she put it into her mouth, the aroma of rapeseed oil rushed into her nose.
"Cannon can't get used to this taste," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
It was Cannon's first time to eat pot stickers, and he found the taste of rapeseed oil a bit unacceptable. However, when making pot stickers, you must use rapeseed oil to fry them. It is best to use the traditional pressing method, otherwise, the vegetables will not taste good.
If the flavor of the seed oil is not strong enough, it will lose the flavor of the pot stickers.
Anyway, for Zhang Chi, if there is no rapeseed oil, he would rather not eat pot stickers. If it is fried in other oil, it will not be called pot stickers but fried dumplings.
"Your craftsmanship is not bad." Merica looked at the pot stickers on the chopsticks.
The skin of the pot stickers is the color of rapeseed oil, the bottom is fried to a brown color, and there are ice edges around it. I have to say that from the appearance point of view, it is almost the same as the pot stickers that Merica ate in China, or even better.
When you bite into it gently, the bottom of the pot stickers is crispy, but the skin is a little cotton-soft. The aroma of rapeseed oil when you take a bite, coupled with the beef juice bursting out of the pot stickers, the taste is really amazing.
Melika directly reached out to take it, then quickly took out a piece of paper on the table and tried the corner of her mouth.
"It's really...".
As he spoke, he gave Zhang Chi a thumbs up and praised Zhang Chi for making authentic pot stickers.
Zhang Chi ignored her, lowered his head and took a sip of soy milk, then put a potsticker in his mouth, bit a small opening, blew into it, and waited until the soup inside was cool enough to be eaten.
took a bite.
When biting, you have to stretch your neck and use the soy milk bowl below to catch the exposed soup.
Melika was not interested in talking to Zhang Chi at this time. She slept for ten hours, which made Melika very energetic at the moment.
Anyone who has never suffered from insomnia cannot understand Melika's mood at this moment. She has always been struggling with sleep. As soon as she lay in bed, she began to worry about whether she would be able to fall asleep today. The more she thought about it, the harder it became to fall asleep.
Suddenly, after sleeping for such a long time, my whole nerves suddenly relaxed, as if the strings that had been tense in my mind suddenly relaxed, and my whole body felt indescribably relaxed.
The two of them didn't say a word until their stomachs were full.
Melika had a lot to eat, four or five pot stickers paired with a large bowl of soy milk. As for Zhang Chi, not to mention, a dozen or so pot stickers and two bowls of soy milk made her stomach feel so full.
Pushing the bowl away, Zhang Chi leaned on the back of the chair happily.
Melika stood up and got ready to go to work.
Just as Melika stood up, Zhang Chi's phone rang.
"Hey, aunt, cow head?...Forget it, I won't eat it. What's so delicious about the cow head?"
The aunt called Zhang Chi and told Zhang Chi that she would pick up the cow head from her place tomorrow. She and Zhang Youliang were going to braise the cow head and four cow hooves that Zhang Chi gave yesterday. The couple couldn't eat it.
The guests probably didn't have much to eat, so they had to call their nephew over to deal with the cow's head and hooves together.
Zhang Chi had never eaten a cow's head, but when he thought about facing a cow's head and then stretching out his own head to gnaw on the cow's head, he couldn't help but get chills on his back. He felt that this was too weird.
right!
In fact, Zhang Chi didn't dare.
When she heard about the braised beef head, Melika stopped in her tracks.
"Okay, then I'll go there tomorrow morning," Zhang Chi said.
Waiting for Zhang Chi to put down the phone, Melika asked Zhang Chi: "Does your uncle also braise beef head? If the beef head is not braised well, it will not taste good at all, but if it is braised well, it will taste so good that it will be all over your face."
It’s live meat…”.
Zhang Chi almost drooled when he heard what Melika said. He was a little dumbfounded. This little girl still knows the term "live meat".
"Have you ever eaten this?"
Zhang Chi didn't believe it.
Melika said: "Eat it. When I was studying in China, I went to a friend's house in the northwest. His grandfather knew how to braise beef heads. At first, I felt it was too disgusting, but after taking a bite of the meat, I couldn't stop.
”.
"Then if you don't mind, you can go to my aunt's place tomorrow morning if you have time."
Zhang Chi's original plan was to pretend to get it back, and then feed it to the two dogs, or the bull and the tiger. It would depend on which of the three had a better chance.
But I didn’t expect that Melika would actually eat this.
"Look, I will definitely go if I have time." Melica looked at her watch, turned around, left the house and got into the car.
Instead of starting the car directly, he changed out of yesterday's clothes in the car and put on a new set of clothes before driving out of the ranch.
Zhang Chi muttered from behind: This little girl, is he Chinese or am I Chinese? She eats more miscellaneous food than me!
After finishing his meal, Zhang Chi put on the bridle and saddle of Chiyanshan, and rode it around the pasture as usual. He checked the fence and looked at the situation of the pasture. After returning home, he rested for a while.
Start practicing roping and driving cattle.
The next morning, at around ten o'clock, Zhong Zhangchi drove to the city.
When we first came out of the fork in the road, we saw that the open space next to the small bar was filled with straw bales, and there was a truck unloading straw bales next to it.
There were also some people gathered around, all of whom were nearby ranchers, including my neighbor Serriol.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Chi stopped the car on the side of the road. After getting out of the car, he saw Serriol beside him and asked aloud.
"Have you prepared the fodder for the winter?" Seeing Zhang Chi coming, Serior explained.
Winter is coming soon, and many pastures will buy forage for the winter. If they have hay, they also need some silage. For example, the hay bought by the Seliol family and another family was shipped today.
"Why unload it here?"
Zhang Chi was a little surprised, why he didn't unload it at his own ranch instead of unloading it here.
"The seller only dumps it here," Serior said with a straight face.
The man next to him smiled at Zhang Chi and said, "It's all like this. Did you buy the fodder and unload it on the pasture?"
Zhang Chi has never bought fodder. He really doesn't know if the fodder is unloaded at the ranch, but according to his thinking, how could it be unloaded here? It's only a short distance from here to the ranch. Do all truck drivers dig it like this?
"I'm kidding you, I unloaded it here because Ed bought this batch of fodder."
Seeing Zhang Chi's serious face, an old rancher said with a smile.
After he said this, everyone started to have fun. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that everyone was taking advantage of him for fun.
"I almost believed it."
Zhang Chi also became happy.
Serriol smiled and said: "Would you like to buy some for your ranch?"
"I still have some fodder in my pasture. Now that the price is so expensive, I'm going to wait and see," Zhang Chi said.
Now the price of fodder is almost 250 US dollars per ton. At this price, Zhang Chi wants to sell some of it to make money, let alone buy it.
"You have a lot of fodder, but it may not be enough," Serriol reminded Zhang Chi.
We are all experienced ranchers. This is a good time to buy fodder. Although it is a bit more expensive, if we wait until spring, if the snow does not melt as soon as possible, the grass in the pasture will not be able to catch up.
If you want to buy pasture at that time, the price will not be cheaper than now.
Not only is it not cheap, it is likely to be more expensive.
"I suggest you buy some. Four or five years ago, the snow had not melted in mid-April, and the price of a bale of fodder that year had risen to forty-five dollars. That was really life-threatening."
Someone tried to persuade Zhang Chi.
"Then I have to think about it carefully when I get back. By the way, how is the quality of the pasture?" Zhang Chi didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned to the quality of the pasture.
"These are secondary pastures. When the snow comes down, we will feed them with some corn."
If pasture is expensive, you have to add other cheap things. In the United States, the main function of corn is feed, and it is still quite cheap feed.
