Alpine pasture

Chapter 500 The twists and turns of the road (three shifts, the last chapter around seven o'clock)
After chatting with beekeeper Steve and Rand for a while, Ju An planned to visit old Leonard and let Rand go about his own business.

He got on the horse and parted with the two men, and urged the horse to run towards the west. After walking for a while, he felt that the sky was slowly darkening. When he looked up, a black cloud had covered the sun. , The weather looks like a child's face, and it changes as soon as it changes. It looks like it is going to rain, and immediately urges the horse to gallop forward. If the estimate is good, there should be a cowboy camp ahead.

After urging to run for less than 5 minutes, the big raindrops fell. Ju An quickly pulled the reins and let the horses run towards the woods not far away. When they entered the woods, one man and one horse were almost wet It was halfway there, and it was raining, and the woods were not a good place to hide from the rain. Turning his head to see that there were no people around, Ju An immediately took the horse and dodged into the space.

As soon as the brown Quarter entered the space, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to have fun. Ju An opened the gate of the fenced yard, let the horse go out to graze, and took off his coat, and finally even put on his underwear He also took off his clothes, hung his clothes on the fence, and turned around with his bare buttocks.

Walking near the pond, Ju An touched his buttocks and felt that it was still a bit sticky, so he decided to go for a swim. Thinking of this, he walked slowly towards the pond. The comfortable pond water covered his neck, making every pore of his body wet He became comfortable, played a good dog planer for a while, and was floating on the water triumphantly with his belly upright, when a big face stretched out, Ju An saw that the horse had also arrived in the pond at some time, and was With his head held high beside Ju An, the horse also started to enjoy himself with his buddies, looking at the four legs frolicking under the water, which was full of rhythm and looked better than his buddies.

Looking up at the horse's back, he realized that the horse had also come down with the saddle, and now the entire saddle was soaked in the water. Ju An immediately reached out and patted the horse's head: "You are comfortable, the saddle is so comfortable. Didn’t the wet buddy sit in the water immediately? If you don’t know, you might think that the buddy is so big that he peed his pants.”

Anyway, I have almost done the washing. As for how long the horse has been washing, it’s all about the brothers. He took the horse’s rein and pulled the dog for a while to swim towards the edge of the pond. Standing on the bottom of the pond, I felt something move as soon as I stepped on it. I immediately reached out and grabbed it and threw it on the bank. Looking up, I saw a big catfish over 50 centimeters jumping on the bank.

Ju An led the horse to the shore, and the catfish had no strength to jump, and lay motionless on the grass. Ju An immediately took a bucket from the yard, and got half a bucket of water from the pond to raise the catfish. , I am going to get some catfish noodles or catfish tofu at home.

Then I looked at the catfish in the bucket and felt that one was not enough, so I immediately took the scout net and went to the pond naked, and after a while of poking, a few catfish came up, but most of them were carp, herring and so on. Throwing the rest of the fish into the pond, these fish were a bit tired of eating at home, and in the end there was still a small half of the bucket of shrimp, this thing is suitable for all ages, even clockwork and so on.

Carrying the bucket naked, he walked to the yard, looked outside the space, and found that the rain had stopped, and the big sun was hanging in the sky again. Ju An put down the bucket, got dressed in twos and twos, and brought The horse went out of space.

Quarter, who had just left the space, was very unhappy, and rubbed his horse face against Ju An's back, wanting to go back into the space.He stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck: "Go! Go! Are you planning to live here permanently? Doucao doesn't get that kind of treatment now!".He reached out to grab the reins, touched the saddle, and felt that at least the cowhide on the saddle was dry, so he got on the horse and continued to run westward.

On the road, I met a group of cowboys driving cows. I greeted them, introduced myself face-to-face, and then asked a few questions that were inconspicuous and reliable, and then I found out about Leonard. For the specific location, adjust the direction and run.

After walking for a while, I heard a loud eagle cry in the sky. Looking up, I don’t know if it is Da Jin or Xiao Jin’s child who is circling in the sky. Seeing Ju An flying lower and lower, Ju An hurriedly stopped Putting on the reins and straightening its arms, the golden eagle slowly approached Ju An, stretched out its two sharp claws, and stood on Ju An's arm with a light grip. Ju An retracted his arms, and put the golden eagle back When they reached the saddle bridge in front of the saddle, they led the golden eagle to urge the horse forward. After running for a few steps, another eagle appeared in the sky, and it also circled around Ju An, one man and one horse, flying. Ju An was sure that this eagle was definitely not the child of Da Jin and Xiao Jin. He looked a little smaller in size. Looking at the golden eagle standing on the saddle, he kept trying to flap his wings. The little thing's daughter-in-law stretched out her arms and let the golden eagle fly away.

Seeing the two eagles chasing each other in the sky and gradually going away, Ju An looked away.

It's not good that the ranch is too big, and it's too hard to find someone. It took a lot of effort for Ju An to find Leonard, the old bald man.

"It's really not easy to find you now. If I were a novice riding a horse, the skin on my thigh would probably be worn out." Ju An got off the horse and said to Leonard.

Leonard said with a smile: "Why do you come here on horseback from such a long distance? You can just drive directly. It seems that you encountered heavy rain on the road, but you found a good place to hide from the rain, and you didn't see it on your body." How wet!"

"I found a few big trees to hide from the rain. I'm not stupid. Why run in the rain?" Ju An looked around and continued, "After that, we will need two helicopters to fly here. If you run a lap, you must tire the horse to death."

Leonard smiled and said, "Let's go! Go to dinner first, and I'll go back with you after the meal. Don't ride the horse, and drive back with me. The horse will be handed over to the cowboys and sent over there when they go there. Immediately." It gets a little warmer in the afternoon, and the cowboys will drive their cattle to the shade on the hillside, and there's nothing to see."After speaking, he took Ju An and walked towards a camp not far away.

"Hmm! That's fine too," Ju An said, nodding behind the old man.

The lunch at noon in the camp is very special. It is not all beef or mutton. Of course, there are still lamb chops in the pasture. The old man prepared one fish for each person. It looks quite similar to the crucian carp at home. Of course, the old man does not Can be braised in soy sauce, sweet and sour, or grilled fish. When the old man brought a large plate full, Ju An looked at the fish on the plate and asked Leonard with a smile: "Why don't you Do you like to eat this freshwater fish?".

"This is tilapia. It's very convenient to eat with few spines. I can't stand the Chinese crucian carp you eat. There are too many spines. This kind of fish is gradually becoming popular in the United States." Leonard forked He put a piece of fish into his mouth and chewed slowly.

Ju An also took a piece of it with a fork and put it in his mouth. It tasted good, but the old man is a bit reckless to eat it roasted. If you add some chopped green onion, some garlic and coriander, it will taste better.After dealing with a fish, how could it fill Ju An's belly? Next, the lamb chops on the plate went into Ju An's belly one after another, and the last two or three salty potatoes also went into Ju An's belly. Only to satisfy the belly.

After eating, Ju An said to Leonard: "This tilapia is not bad, where did you get it?".This fish is really good. The key is that it has few spines and the taste is very suitable for Ju'an.

Leonard smiled and said: "Of course I bought it from Kingman's supermarket!".

"Oh!" Since there are some in the supermarket, it's good to buy some when I get home, and let my mother make braised fish. It must taste better than Leonard, an old bald man.

After eating, Ju An and Leonard took a short rest, and then drove towards the main building of the ranch.

The air conditioner in the car is much more comfortable. Even Ju An took a nap in the car, and when he opened his eyes, he was already there.

After getting out of the car and seeing the artificial lake sparkling in the sun not far away, Ju An asked Leonard, "Why don't we raise some tilapia, catfish and shrimp in this lake? A lake that is not so big is wasted!".

"Now there are bullfrogs and a lot of shrimp in it. When the cowboys want to eat, they will catch some, especially the shrimp. Basically, every cowboy will go to the lake to get some. Now you want Raising tilapia?" Leonard looked at Ju An and asked.

Ju An nodded: "Of course, such a big lake, no matter what, you have to earn the labor cost of digging the lake."The buddies forgot to let the bullfrogs and shrimps go to the lake before, so they just raised them together, and continued to Leonard: "What freshwater fish do Americans like to eat, except for tilapia, why not raise them together, Don’t let someone take care of it, just leave it casually, and the cowboys can change their appetite when they want to eat.”

"Catfish, it's not troublesome to eat catfish with fewer bones," Leonard suggested to Ju An after listening to Ju An's words.

"That's fine! After a while, you can get some of these small fish fry and put them in the lake. Maybe we can sell some fish next year." Ju An patted Leonard on the shoulder and said.

After chatting with the old man for a few words, Ju An went back to his room, squatting in the air-conditioned room to avoid the sunlight outside.The comfortable little nap didn't wake up until after five o'clock in the afternoon. When I woke up, the sun was already hanging on the top of the mountain. Looking at the orange-red sun, Ju An laughed twice, stretched her waist, and felt I am really living a fairy-like life.
