Alpine pasture

Chapter 269 New Tourism Project

When they arrived at the house, my mother helped to salt the cicada monkeys in the small plastic buckets held by several children. Knowing that, the monkey said to Ju An's mother, "Grandma! Let's fry some for us to taste first."

Ju Rao smiled and patted Tong Tong's head from the side: "You little greedy cat, you want to eat as much as you want, and you can taste it. See why Ran Ran and Nini didn't ask grandma to fry it."

Ju An said with a smile on the side: "I guess it's not that Ran Ran and Nini don't want to eat it, but that they haven't eaten fried cicada monkeys before. Ran Ran, have you eaten it before?".Ju An asked Ran Ran.

Ran Ran shook her head while watching grandma sprinkle salt into the basin, and when she saw Nini, Nini shook her head too, and Ju An said to her mother: "Then let's fry some food today, and find those quick shelled".My mother smiled and said: "Okay! Okay! Let's fry some and eat."

Tongtong cheered immediately, followed Ju An, and helped her mother pick up the cicada monkey that was about to shed its shell, but Dinah stood far away and didn't even approach her.

After picking out a small bowl of about 30 cicada monkeys, my mother turned on the gas stove and put some oil in the pot. When the oil boiled, she said to the three little monkeys: "Stay away, don't worry about it." Let the oil in the pan spray on you."Ju An and Ju Rao immediately pulled the heads of the three little ghosts away from the pot, and my mother poured a bowl of cicada monkeys into the oil pot. After a while, the smell wafted from the kitchen. After copying it, he fished out the fried and translucent cicada monkey.

It was directly divided into three small bowls, each of the three little ghosts had a bowl, put it on the pot table to cool down a bit, and then distributed the bowls to the three little guys.

After Tongtong got the bowl, she immediately grabbed one with her small hand and put it in her mouth to chew, while chewing, she said: "Delicious! Delicious".

Ran Ran and Nini didn't dare to eat at the beginning when they were holding small bowls. Seeing Tongtong eat two in a row, they each grabbed one and put it in their mouths. He quickly pulled it to his mouth like a chicken scratching the soil. Ju An took one from Nini's bowl and put it in his mouth. The skill of the salt is first-class, the fine salt is sprinkled evenly on the cicada monkey, neither salty nor bland, just right."

Nini ate by herself and dragged a small bowl to Dinah, took a cicada monkey from the bowl and sent it to Dinah: "Mom, you eat too."

Dinah quickly covered her mouth and said, "Nini eats it by herself, mom doesn't like this, give it to dad."After speaking, he took a step back.

Nini then turned around and grabbed the cicada monkey in her hand and gave it to Ju An. Ju An took it from Nini's hand and threw it into her mouth before chewing it.

Thirty or so cicada monkeys arrived in the bowls of the three little guys, and were wiped out without much effort. A few children looked at the cicadas in the bowl after eating, and Juan looked at the three cicadas. The little greedy cat said: "Save the rest for tomorrow, good things can't be eaten all at once."

Now I brought the three little cats back upstairs, waiting for them to take a bath. Juan told Nini a story as usual, and put her to sleep. The little girl who had been crazy for a day fell asleep in no time , Ju An returned to her bedroom and saw Dinah playing with her notebook, so she lifted the blanket on her side and got into bed.

When Dinah saw Ju'an on the bed, she asked, "Is Nini asleep?".

Ju An nodded: "It's been a crazy day, and I started to doze off after reading more than one page."After speaking, he put his head to Dinah's face and wanted to kiss her.

Before she got close to Dinah's face, she was pushed away by Dinah: "The food you ate today is disgusting, don't touch me."And then ready to continue chatting.

Ju An said with a shy smile on his face, "You can try that delicious one tomorrow. The first one puts it in your mouth with your eyes closed. I guarantee that after you eat it, the second one will open your eyes and start scrambling to eat it." up".After finishing speaking, he hugged Dinah and leaned directly towards Dinah's face. Just as Ju An was about to succeed, he heard a voice: "Hey! Hey! You two pay attention, we are still here here."

Turning her head from Dinah's eyes to the notebook, she saw Reese and Lily waving at Ju An, and Ju An slapped two hahas and said to the two of them: "Reese, Lily, how are you? Found you there."Then he turned to Dana and said, "Don't tell me a word."

Dinah looked at Ju An and smiled and said, "You came here before I had time to say it."

Lily leaned in front of the camera and said with a smile: "Your nightlife started really early, it's only less than ten o'clock."Dinah said with a smile: "He just finished putting Nini to sleep and just arrived in the room."

Ju An leaned his head and said to the two people: "Then you talk, I'll watch TV."After speaking, he took the TV remote control into his hand and turned on the TV to watch it.

After a while, Dinah finished chatting with Lily and Reese, put the notebook together on the bedside table, and followed Ju An to watch TV. Ju An watched the football program on the sports station. After playing football, he followed Ju An to watch it with relish.

Ju'an and Dinah woke up on time at seven o'clock in the morning, got up after tidying up a little, and then woke up the three little guys one by one from the bed to start their daily task of grooming horses.The cooking is now completely taken over by the mother and sister. Ju An goes to the back of the house to practice fists and kicks a few times, and then takes care of the bean grass and snowflakes. Dinah leads the three children to brush the pony and shovel the horse. Manure cleans out the barn.

After everything was cleaned up, Ju An just finished breakfast and was about to ride Dougao to do her daily tasks, inspect the pasture, and then Dinah prepared some scraps of meat for the boss's wolves to take there.As soon as he left the door, he met old Taylor who was driving an old pickup truck, and was sending Emily and Jerry over.

Seeing Ju An, he greeted with a smile: "Hi! Where is An going? You have a lot of strength."

Ju An thought about the bag in his hand and said, "Take some meat to the edge of the pasture to feed the wolves."Holding a bag that weighs tens of kilograms is as easy as playing with one hand. Thanks to those skills and space, I am now in better shape.

Jerry and Emily, the two little monkey cars, slid off the pickup truck as soon as it stopped, greeted Juan and ran towards the house.

Taylor said to Ju An: "Put the things away first, I have something to tell you."After hearing this, Ju An put down the bag in his hand and Taylor walked to the chair under the porch and sat down. Taylor continued: "This weekend, four or five nearby farms are going to hold a small competition. This year invites You participate".

Ju An was stunned for a moment: "What kind of competition? What are you going to prepare for?".

Taylor patted Ju An on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's not a competition. The work on the farm and ranch is relatively easy at this time, so several ranchers nearby held an event together, with three people in each ranch." , ranchers must participate, there are three events in total, archery, ax and revolver shooting, the loser is responsible for buying a small trophy for the winner, and then paying for beer. Be sure to ride a horse."

After hearing this, Ju An nodded and said, "That's no problem, we will participate when the time comes."There is not much money to win or lose. It is estimated that everyone has nothing to do to have fun. When the time comes, discuss with Thomas and find two people.

Hearing that Ju An nodded and agreed, Taylor patted his legs and got up and stood up: "Then there is nothing to do, remember this weekend."Just as she was about to walk away, she saw Ran Rantongtong walking over with a small bowl while eating, while Jerry and Emily held the bowls and looked at the contents, not daring to eat them.Seeing what was in the bowl, Old Taylor said in surprise, "Fried cicadas?".

Ju An was also surprised and asked: "You also know this thing?".

Taylor said with a smile: "The troops who served in the military used to be stationed in Asia and ate this thing, and they have never eaten it since they retired from the army."After speaking, he called Jerry over, picked up a cicada monkey from the bowl, chewed it, and said to Jerry and Emily, "Eat it, it's delicious."Now Jerry and Emily started eating.

"I didn't expect you to serve in Asia," Ju An said with a smile.

Taylor shrugged his shoulders: "At that time in the field survival training, it was normal to eat everything. I had a comrade in arms who immigrated from Taiwan and taught us to eat this. In the end, everyone liked to eat this food. In the end As long as our camp comes to this season, it’s best to have a little light rain, then there will be groups of people looking for these things in the woods.”

Ju An said with a smile: "I mean, in China, at our age, we probably know how to eat cicada monkeys. It just so happens that you can organize an activity to catch cicadas at night during your trip. As long as Chinese tourists probably like to eat this thing ".

After hearing this, Old Taylor nodded in agreement and said: "This proposal is really good. I will discuss it with them when I go back. Unfortunately, I only have a short time to unearth. Today we have added a few projects such as stream fly fishing. If the cicada It can be unearthed all year round, so this can be a fixed project."

"Haha, don't be too greedy, this is the benefit of coming here in summer." Ju An smiled and returned.

Taylor glanced at Ju An's bag under the stairs and said, "I still suggest you not to feed the wild wolves too frequently. If you feed them frequently, it will easily make them lazy and not conducive to survival in the wild."

Ju An shook his head and said with a smile, "We only fed them with the leftover meat at home. Those wolves are very friendly. This is my reward for not harassing the ranch."

Taylor nodded and said, "That's true. In the past, wolves would steal cattle and sheep when they had the opportunity. Cattle and sheep raised in pastures are much easier to catch than wild animals. When you mentioned it, I really remembered it. These wolves haven't been near my ranch for a long time."
