Alpine pasture

Chapter 105 Two Halloweens
In the early morning of the next day, Old Thomas arranged for Du Erzhuang and other three Chinese boys to graze with Wynn and Andrew, instead of following everyone to pick up a new batch of cows. Ju An followed Thomas and the others to pick up the cows with a camera. Today It took a good ten photos, and then another busy day. At five or six o'clock, Thomas and Lawrence drove to pick up the cowboys from Chile. Almost all the people in the ranch were present. Now, I am going to gather everyone for a bonfire dinner, and by the way, I have invited Taylor Thornton and some old friends of Anderson to come over to get together. It is also a welcome for new friends. Fortunately, the house on the east side is ready for occupancy. In the evening Lawrence and Andrew will take a group of Chilean cowboys to live in a new place, and will bring a dozen horses at the same time.

The beef prepared in the ranch today is a half-sized steer from the ranch. Lawrence is in charge of the slaughter, and Thomas and Ju'an are the assistants. Watching Lawrence quickly use the knife to fly around the hoisted calf, skillfully Pulling the cowhide, Ju An couldn't help admiring. It is estimated that the Paoding Jieniu mentioned in the elementary school textbooks is almost like this. Thomas is cleaning the cow's interior with a big basin, and slashing open the cow's stomach with a knife. And tripe, and intestines to clean.

Ju An asked happily: "Thomas, you also like to eat these things. Seeing how skilled you are, eat them often."

Thomas was stunned and explained: "I'm going to wash these things casually, and then boil them in clean water for the cattle dogs. Who would eat this stuff on the ranch? They are usually used to feed the dogs."

Ju An almost staggered when he heard this. This guy was too wasteful, so he quickly called Er Zhuang over and asked, "Er Zhuang, do you know how to clean the tripe?".

Du Erzhuang nodded and said, "No problem, brother An, we all know it."

Ju An nodded and pointed to the tripe in the big basin in front of Thomas, "Hurry up and help me clean up the tripe. Remember to clean it up. I'm going to stir-fry it tomorrow night. I'll give each of you a piece of it then." share".

Seeing Du Erzhuang happily pick up the tripe from the basin and wash it in the small basin next to it, Thomas waved his hand and said, "Ann, don't give me my share, I feel a little disgusted just thinking about it, by the way You don’t want anything else? There are quite a few here.”After speaking, he pulled up a piece of cow intestines to show Juan.

Seeing Ju An shaking his head, Lawrence smiled and said, "An, give me a copy, and I'll try it too."

Ju An smiled and said to Lawrence: "No problem, I will satisfy you when the time comes, braised beef tripe and stir-fried garlic, Er Zhuang washed it for me and sent it to my refrigerator, don't let the thieves steal it."

Thomas shook his head and said, "If you like it, I will keep it for you every time you slaughter a cow. If you like the nearby pastures, ask around and I can get you a few every day."

Ju An said with a smile: "Forget it, you will get tired of eating this good food every day. Our own cattle will naturally eat it when they grow up."

At this time, Lawrence had already peeled off the entire cowhide, and was dividing the beef into the large basin below. When he cut the top of the cow, he said happily, "Ann, Thomas, come and have a look."

When Ju An and Thomas stepped forward to take a look, Lawrence's cut with one knife revealed a piece of beef mixed with fat to form a beautiful marble pattern. Thomas said happily: "From now on, it looks really good meat. Try it tonight." How does it taste?"

Then I watched Lawrence stroke the same strokes in several places. Basically, it was mixed with white fat, forming a beautiful marble pattern. The three people looked so happy, and Lawrence kept praising: "Say Maybe it’s enough to qualify as a special class.”

We all know that this is the grade of beef in the United States. Generally, high-end restaurants are selected grades, and there is an excellent grade on it. The best grade is only about [-]% of the beef in the United States. Level, Ju An was very happy to hear Lawrence say that, this guy is money.

After the whole cow was divided, the cowboys returned to the ranch, and some old friends also arrived. As soon as Jerry and Emily arrived at the ranch, they were attracted by Teddy, and Taylor looked at it with trepidation. Yes, I feel relieved, Teddy is a good classmate with a bad temper.

Several tables were filled with vegetables, fruits and beef. The mutton was a well-prepared whole lamb brought by Taylor. The veal won unanimous praise from everyone at the dinner party. It's excellent, some people think it's a special choice, and Ju'an smiles when he hears it.Taylor also suggested that when the time comes to sell it, carefully evaluate it, so that the price will be better.

After the dinner, of course, the guests and the host had a good time. When everyone dispersed, Lawrence took Andrew and the Chilean cowboys to the camp in the east. Teddy and Wu Song went back to their room to sleep.

In the next few days, the cowboys on the ranch were very busy, receiving the cows, putting numbers on the ears of the cows, and branding the ranch's logo. After all the cows were received, it happened to be Halloween.

Evening is Halloween. In fact, Halloween is November 31st, and Halloween is October [-]st. Many people in China celebrate Halloween, not Halloween.In the afternoon, Ju An started to decorate, and moved a large jar of chocolate candies he bought to the door.The spider web was also pulled up and hung on the gate, and two small skeletons were also hung under the porch, hanging like a person being hoisted, and a big light bulb was pulled up and hung in front of the house, just to tell everyone, prepare yourself On Halloween, children are welcome to ask for candy.

After setting everything up, Ju An turned around and went back to the house. As soon as he reached the door, he found Wu Song squatting beside the jar, peeling chocolate with his two small black hands, and Teddy squatting on the ground, stretching his neck, mouth While chewing something, looking at the dozen or so candy wrappers under his feet, Ju An understood that the two guys were eating chocolates. A piece of chocolate was broken in half, and the big half was sent to Teddy's mouth, while he ate the small piece, showing the brotherhood of friendship.

After moving the jar to the top of the gun cabinet and finding something to hold down the mouth of the jar, Ju An went back to the kitchen and started making dinner for himself and the two guys.Ju An is fried rice with eggs, Wu Song is shredded pork with some fruits, and Teddy is much more luxurious. Space caught a fish weighing a few kilograms, removed the scales and hidden inside, put it in the oven and baked it, basically seven or eight Ripe fish suits Teddy best.

After dinner, watching the sky darken, Ju An put on tops, a wide robe, and a pale mask, and sat on the sofa below, waiting for the little ones to come and ask for candy.

Wu Song and Teddy are still obsessed with the candies on the gun cabinet. Wu Song can fit in the cabinet, but he doesn't have the strength to lift the contents of the jar. Teddy has the strength to lift the lid, but Unable to climb up the cabinet, the two little guys watched it for a long time, finally gave up, and honestly squatted down on the sofa next to Ju An to watch TV with Ju An.

After waiting for a while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then a childish voice sounded: "Troubleshoot if you don't give candy!".

As soon as Ju An opened the door, he saw two foreigners in their 60s and [-]s standing by the car behind them. The two little guys, a man and a woman, were carrying small buckets. The boy was dressed as a superhero, while the girl was breathing white The skirt, and the appearance of an angel with two snow-white wings on the back, Ju An quickly took the jar from the cabinet, let the two little guys grab the candy, and watched the little guy happily grabbing Tangju An then smiled and said, "Let's not make trouble now."

The little angel girl smiled happily, showing a small broken tooth, and said, "Thank you sir! Don't make trouble."The two little guys grabbed a handful of candy and wanted to go back, when they suddenly saw Teddy and Wu Song who had come to the door, they both stopped and said to Ju An: "Sir, are you raising the bear and the monkey?" .

Seeing a little bear coming out of the house, the two old people came up and stood behind the children. Ju An smiled and said to them: "Don't worry, they are all raised since childhood and won't hurt anyone." Ting Ju Ann said so, and Teddy's size is not too big, so he was relieved.

Seeing the eyes of the two little guys, Ju An pulled Teddy and Wu Song over and said, "You can touch them, don't worry they won't bite, Teddy and Wu Song are very good."

The two little guys stepped forward to pet the two little guys, and they smiled and called their names while touching them happily.

Seeing this scene, the grandparents of the two children also smiled and said to Ju An: "Happy holidays!".

Ju An also smiled and said to them: "Happy holidays! You are the first batch to come to ask for candy, I have been waiting for a long time."

The old man said with a smile: "Everyone lives far away here, and they usually take their children to the town to beg for candy. Our family keeps our son and daughter-in-law to distribute candy. We took our grandchildren out to beg for candy and saw you on the way." I only come here when the lights are on, and usually at night, there are only a few groups of children who come to beg for candy, and you bought too much candy, and you won’t be able to use a third of it.”

Ju An said with a smile: "Then let the children take more, anyway, I will eat very little left."

The two old people said with a smile: "The children just want to have fun, and we won't give them a lot of candy, only one or two yuan a day."

After finishing speaking, he pulled up two little guys who looked at Teddy and Wu Song reluctantly, said goodbye to Ju An, and got into the car. When the car started, the two little guys stuck out their heads and followed Teddy and Wu Song. Wu Song waved goodbye to the two, looking at the two sticking out heads, it is estimated that in the hearts of these two little guys, Teddy Wu Song is much more interesting than begging for sugar.
