Little Life on An American Ranch

Jian Heng pushed open the door, first let Sun Siwei into the room, then closed the door and shouted at the barley and wheat in the room: Balley, wheat, come and have a look, what did we bring back for you?

Damai and Wheat stood up together, seeing Sun Siwei holding the hat in his hand, so he moved his head curiously.

Seeing the shrimp in Sun Siwei's hat, he opened his mouth and said, Shrimp?

That's right, we have something to eat again today! Jian Heng gestured to the two sisters with the fish in his hand at this moment: Which one of you will help me clean the fish, I'll go to the greenhouse to pick some leeks .

Can it be eaten at such a small age? Mai Mai was a little surprised.

Damai took the fish and walked into the kitchen, and Mai asked puzzled, What do you want leeks for?

Jian Heng said: Our hometown has a special dish called fried shrimp with leeks, I'll let you try it later!

Is it delicious? Mai Mai immediately became interested when she heard that it was Jian Heng's hometown food, because she felt that Jian Heng's eyes were particularly bright when he mentioned his hometown food. The more delicious it is.

It's delicious! Sun Siwei walked towards the kitchen holding his hat at this time, calling for Damai to help him find a basin so that he could put the shrimps and free his hat.

Jian Heng said to Mai Mai to wait, then turned and left the house and walked towards the greenhouse. When he arrived at the greenhouse, he found no one inside and walked directly into the space.

What a coincidence, it was winter when I entered, and there was no food in the space, so Jian Heng had to go out of the space again, and directly found a leek patch in the greenhouse and cut a handful of tender young leeks . I picked another cauliflower, picked two tomatoes, and picked two more eggplants, and then I went back home.

When we got back to the house, Damai had already taken care of the fish, and Sun Siwei had washed the prawns. Jian Heng saw that there were still a lot of dishes today, and thought that Mr. Yao was also his hometown , and myself and Sun Siwei are all serious Shihua County people.

So he said to Sun Siwei: Siwei, go and call Mr. Yao, he is also a fellow of our Shihua County.

After hearing this, Sun Siwei said, Why don't you ask Brother Zhao Changshan to come too?

He doesn't need it. Now he goes home for dinner every day. It's not convenient to drag his family back home after drinking. Don't get him drunk and sleep on the side of the road. It will be troublesome. Jian Heng shook his head and said.

Sun Siwei nodded after hearing this, then went out, got on the quad bike he had just ridden, and headed to the dormitory.

Taking advantage of Sun Siwei's time to invite Mr. Yao, Jian Heng started to take care of the fish first, split the head of the fish, then put a knife against the body of the fish to slice off the flesh, and then began to slice the fish with a knife. , although he is not a chef, but Jian Heng here works slowly and carefully, and the fish is a bit hard after being thrown out for more than ten minutes, so it is not too difficult to slice.

Today's fish is black fish, so steamed fish is not suitable. Jian Heng's method is boiled fish. Of course, the bottom ingredients are packaged from China. The pot will do.

Jian Heng has sliced ​​fish, and the two sisters, Barley and Wheat, are helping to wash the dishes. Now the three of them are standing in the kitchen, and they really seem to be so casual.

Come on, try this. Mai Mai washed a box of blue mold, held it in her hand, first fed Jian Heng one, then ate one herself, and finally put the box in front of Damai.

Blue mold is naturally produced in Jian Heng's space. At this time, blueberries are not only extremely expensive in the domestic market, but also not cheap in the American market. Almost a whole basket is stored in the small house in Jian Heng's space. The blueberries alone are a basket, and the blackberries are also a basket, but there is no way to take them out. Fortunately, after the fruits of the space are picked, as long as they are not stained with soil or placed on the ground, these fruits will not spoil, so Jian Heng is not worried either.

There are only two things that bother Jian Heng.

One is that the fruit is ripe, so you have to pick it yourself, don’t worry about putting it in the basket, it’s very troublesome, and the other is that you can’t get it out too much, this stuff is very expensive in the city this season, and it’s unrealistic to buy dozens of boxes at once , so I can only use the small boxes of blueberries bought in the market. Each time I put these three or four boxes in the refrigerator, it is not very enjoyable to eat.

Damai needs to be more attentive when doing things, and won’t reach out to pick up blueberries when washing vegetables, but Maimai’s temper is a little cheerful, it seems that being with Jian Heng has ignited her enthusiasm all of a sudden, she hardly thinks about it now Anything, seems to leave the thinking to her lover and her sister, so her usual state is to be happy.

Like now, from time to time, I would go to the side of the blueberry box and take out one, and put it in Jian Heng's mouth. Sometimes I would play kisses with Jian Heng, and it took about three or four times before I remembered to put it in my sister's mouth. one.

How do you wash this little shrimp? Mai Mai asked looking at the half-jin shrimp in the basin.

You don't need to wash this one, just wash it with water. Jian Heng said with a gesture.

After seeing it, Maimai understood, took the small shrimp basket and put it on the faucet and began to flush, shaking the basket back and forth while flushing.

Seeing her actions, Jian Heng gave her a thumbs up in praise.

When Sun Siwei and Mr. Yao came over, Jian Heng's dishes were half ready. Mr. Yao came and replaced Barley and Wheat. Jian Heng drove them back to the living room, leaving only It left old man Yao and himself.

Grandpa, how many days are you going to take for the holidays? Jian Heng asked the old man while he was busy stewing eggplant.

Spring Festival? Old Master Yao asked.

Seeing Jian Heng nodded, Mr. Yao said, It doesn't matter whether you are on vacation or not, I actually want to ask you one thing.

What do you mean by being polite to me? Jian Heng said.

Mr. Yao said: I heard that you will go back to China in a few days. Can you bring the dog I left in my hometown here?

Bring the dog here? Jian Heng was a little uncertain.

Mr. Yao nodded: Well, bring the dog here and let him help raise it at my neighbor's house.

You don't want to go back and see friends during the festival? Jian Heng wanted to ask the old man if he wanted to go back and see his son, his wife, etc., but the old man never mentioned it, and Jian Heng couldn't just go straight to it to ask.

In Jian Heng's view, no matter how much it used to be, the old man has made money now, not to mention a lot, so far the old man has at least 10,000 knives on hand, part of which is salary, and the other part is the share of massage and tip.

Whether it is Peter the Great or Blanca, after enjoying it once, as long as it is on the ranch, it is necessary to press the old man once a day, plus a few actors and Evan from time to time. So the tip of the old man is the most in the whole ranch, and of course it is the only one.

Now that he has money, Jian Heng thinks that the old man's unhappiness with his wife and son because of money can be resolved. From Jian Heng’s point of view, we Chinese, the first thing we can’t let go is the local affection, and the second is family affection, both of which are immersed in the bones of the Chinese people.

Bring me the dog and I'll have nothing to worry about. Master Yao said with a smile, Then I'm going to work here until I retire.

Okay, I will keep you until retirement. By the way, it is easy to pay social security in China now. I will pay you through a company. Even if my ranch business is not good in the future, what do you say here? There is also a guarantee, Jian Heng said with a smile.

Hearing what Jian Heng said, Mr. Yao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after a while he asked Jian Heng seriously: You said you want to give this to me?

Ah! At that time, if you leave a domestic company, you will be considered as their employee, and you will be sent to work in the United States. This makes sense, Jian Heng said.

Originally, there was no such thing, but when Jian Heng heard the meaning of the old man's words, it seemed that he didn't want to associate with his wife and son anymore, so he thought that the old man had worked here to a certain age, so he would have a guarantee when he went back. Besides, the old man is also a master of technology.

Again, Jian Heng is always willing to think more about his own people when possible, which is also part of his personality charm.

thanks!

Hey, why are you being polite, you should, Jian Heng said with a smile.

While talking, Jian Heng and the old man put the dishes on the table together after the last stewed eggplant was cooked.
