Alpine pasture

Chapter 168 Small Harvest

As soon as he opened the door in the morning, he saw the warm sunshine outside. Ju An brushed off the hat in his hands, stuck it on his head, and walked out of the house. The fox family was playing outside at this time. He stopped and looked behind Ju An with his small head open. When Teddy and the little guys went out, a group of guys immediately started making fun in the yard. Ju An didn't put the fox out last night. The family put it into the space for the night. This family doesn't seem to like being in the house. They still like to sleep outside on such a cold day. The new foothold is under the steps at the entrance of Ju'an and in the empty space on the ground. The whole family He huddled inside at night. As for the shameless deer, no one could see him all day yesterday. He only returned to the stable at night to eat, drink and sleep. Early yesterday morning, Nancy just opened the door of the stable. There was no trace of running, probably because he was afraid that Ju An was catching him to pull the sled or something.

But today, Ju An didn't have time to fight with a bunch of little guys. She went to pick up Dina in the morning, and Ju An was going to go with Dina to see the real ice fishing or something. Fortunately, Er Zhuang and his party were already there yesterday. Back at the ranch, the lunch of these little guys can be handed over to the two people of the two strong army, and they are just enjoying the world of two.

After leaving the house and tossing around with her work, Ju An drove out her own GMC and set off towards Dina's house. It's not that Ju An didn't want to bring little guys like Teddy, because these little things were seen by others. Most of them belong to beasts. You have nothing to do with raising them in your own pasture, but bringing them to public places is another matter. It is very troublesome, and Ju An has to keep them at home.

As soon as the car entered Dinah's farm, they found that several greenhouses had been built not far from the entrance of the farm. Melina was carrying a pot of unknown flowers. She just came out of the greenhouse when she saw Ju An. Zuo Ju An smiled and waved her hand: "Dinah is in the room, come in quickly, I'll wait for you for a while."

Ju An stuck his head out of the car: "Why are so many flowers planted, how many greenhouses!".

Melina said with a smile: "Don't look at a few greenhouses, there are actually not many, and they are basically set out. During this time, there are many people who send flowers, and there is a lot of demand for all kinds of flowers. Half of it, Marcos said that several daughters have passed the time to spend money, there is no need to work so hard."

After hearing this, Ju An said goodbye to Melina, and drove the car towards the house. Just as she stopped the car, Dinah ran out of the house: "Why did you arrive now, didn't I tell you to come earlier? Is that right, everything for fishing is almost ready, hurry up, let's get a good seat!".After he finished speaking, he opened the car door, put his big bag on the car, and then jumped up.

"It's only less than 07:30 now, where can we go a little after eight o'clock at most, where are there so many people?" Ju An said with a smile.

Dinah shook her head and explained: "Today is Saturday, there are a lot of people, and you won't be able to find a good seat when you arrive late. By the way, let me see what tools you brought."

Ju An pouted to the back, indicating that the tools were all behind, Dinah swept her eyes and said, "Why did you bring an electric drill? Don't you have a hand-made drill? You can use such a big thing. It's too awkward."

Ju An shrugged his shoulders: "I only have this thing there, it's not handmade like you said."

After Dinah heard this, she opened the car door, and when she came back from the house, she took a drill about one meter long, basically a steel bar three or four centimeters thick, with a three or four centimeters wide welded on it. The spiral steel sheet is a handle at the end, and the steel bar under the handle is bent into a groove more than 20 cm deep. It is clear at a glance. People can hold the handle with one hand and turn the groove with the other, so that they can drill things. up.

Dinah put the drill on the back seat and said to Ju An: "You bring an electric drill over there, it's really a joke, this is a professional tool for fishing on the lake, don't linger, hurry up and drive! ".After speaking, he pulled the side seat belt buckle and tied the seat belt.

Ju An said with a smile, "Yes, my lord."After he finished speaking, he started the car and drove towards the town.

"By the way! I might have to go out for a while in two days, pick a horse farm for the naughty bag, find a horse trainer to train it, and prepare for the horse race in May" Ju An said to Dinah while driving the car. .

Dinah thought for a while and said, "Well, just run around, there are actually two professional training horse farms in Montana, one of which is near Bozeman, but the Montana horse training farm has been trained for the past two years. None of the horses have won too prominently."

Ju An thought for a while: "I'm going to choose a good racecourse for training, with a higher standard, which is good for the naughty bag."

"Don't keep fantasizing about the naughty bag, just be normal, although I also think the naughty bag is very good, but there is not a single horse that can go on the track, you just send it to Take a look at Bozeman's horse training ground training, train if you can, bring it back if you can't, and keep it for yourself." Dinah said with a smile.

Ju An said jokingly: "That's not possible, I must hire a professional horse trainer to adjust the naughty bag. If I get a good ranking, I will use him as a wedding gift for you, and then I will save the ring. money".

Dinah laughed: "A horse that can get a rank is much more expensive than a ring."

The two of them chatted all the way through the town and arrived at the big lake in the northeast of the town. It was the first time that Ju An came to the edge of this big lake. The good guy is on a large lake, and now there are many people. There are a lot of cars parked on both sides of the road, even on the shore of the lake and on the ice. Sure enough, as Wynn said, everyone brought their families to play together. Just found a place to park the car, Dinah got out of the car and opened the rear door, lifting the gang down.

Ju An and Dinah just picked up their things and were about to find a place when they saw a young couple next to them, with a little girl riding on their husband's neck, walking past Ju An with their things. , the husband and wife also greeted Ju An and Dina with a smile.

Juan carried Dinah on her arm, and her hands were full of things, such as fishing tool boxes, drill bits, and small stools. She walked towards the lake, and after a long circle, Dinah finally chose a place she was satisfied with. The two small stools were put down, and they pointed to the place for Ju An to start drilling ice. Following Dinah's instructions, Ju An began to get busy. This manual drill bit is really good to use. After seven or eight minutes, Ju An started to work. Ann drilled a hole the size of a sea bowl on the ice, and then slowly expanded the hole to the size of a basin. Now, Ju An and Dinah faced each other and started fishing.

There are far fewer fish in the lake than in Ju’an’s ranch. After waiting for seven or eight minutes, no one bit the hook. Ju’an wanted to chat with Dinah. As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Dinah put her fingers to her mouth. He pulled the zipper to silence himself, then put his head in front of Ju An and whispered, "Be quiet, don't scare my fish away!".

Ju An had no choice but to stay silent. Seeing Dinah's concentration, she stretched her head and looked around, looking around. Sure enough, as Dinah said, there were more and more people on the lake. Two meters away, there are a group of couples in their 30s, with two and a half-year-old children, and the whole family are fishing around the entrance of a cave. One of the girls is holding a puppy in her arms, and the puppy is wearing clothes. A down jacket is really a tossing family.

As he was looking around, Ju An felt the tightness of the fishing line in his hand, so he took his eyes back from a distance, stared at his fish, and then tightened again, Ju An lifted it up, two Holding the fishing line alternately with one hand, he pulled the fish out of the lake in a few seconds, and actually let Ju An catch a small carp about fifteen centimeters.

Ju An scratched his head and looked at the two short beards around his mouth, which were indeed Chinese carp.Dinah looked at Ju An holding the carp, scratching her head, smiling and whispering: "This kind of fish can be seen in many rivers in the United States now. It's nothing unusual for Chinese carp to flood in the United States."

"It's flooded! Then eat him, it's delicious." Ju An smiled and whispered to Dinah, "I just like to eat carp. Once I take out the sour tendons, it tastes really good."

"This kind of fish has too many small spines, which is not suitable for our taste. It's too troublesome to eat. It's what I ate last time during the Spring Festival," Dinah said.

"No, the last time I ate a large piece of herring, it wasn't like this. In fact, I like to eat this kind of food. It's braised directly. I can't mention it. It's mouth watering!" Ju An looked at the little fish and said with a smile. .

Dinah looked at the little fish in Ju An's hand: "This one seems a little small."

Ju An nodded: "It is indeed a little small, but you can take it back to eat for a few little guys at home."After he finished speaking, he took the fish off the hook and put it in the net pocket next to it. Then he put earthworms on the hook, put it in the hole in front, and waited beside him.

After some time, both Dinah and Ju An had harvested. Dinah brought two of them up, plus the two that Ju An caught by herself, now Ju An and Dinah have harvested four small fish. , The whole lake became more and more lively. Many children were playing on the lake. Some dragged a car inner tube and tied a rope to it. One child sat on the inner tube, and the two children took two steps. He let go of his hand, and then watched the child on the inner tube slip a long way before stopping.More children were wearing ice skates and skating on the lake. Looking around, the roads by the lake were full of vehicles.
