Alpine pasture

Chapter 56
When Ju An arrived at Lewistown Airport to pick up his checked luggage, he surprised Old Thomas who came to pick him up. Old Thomas jokingly said, "Ann, are you planning to move the whole of San Francisco over?"

Ju An said: "I just bought some food, all of which are bought in Chinese supermarkets, but not in Lewistown."

Thomas put He Ju An on the GMC, then thought about it and said to Ju An: "There is no Chinese supermarket in Lewistown, but there must be one in Great Falls, and I have been there a few times, you This writing is enough to buy a few boxes of gas from San Francisco, and it's enough to go back and forth from Grand Rapids a dozen times."

Ju An thought for a while, then patted his head and said, "Damn it! How come I forgot about Great Falls? Looking at my mind, I thought that Lewistown was not there. Great Falls is bigger than Lewistown, there must be. In Chinese supermarkets, it’s a loss, a loss.”

Old Thomas smiled and said, "Next time you want to buy these, go to Great Falls. There are many Chinese restaurants there, and there must be Chinese supermarkets. I didn't hear that you want to buy these things, so I will remind you."

"I also made up my mind on a whim, and bought it at random. It took me a long time to do the shipping. Hey, my mind is a little hard to turn around," Ju An said angrily.

The two put things into the back seat, Ju An got into the cab, and old Thomas sat in the co-pilot's seat.The two of them drove to the pasture in their car.

When I got back to the ranch and unloaded the things, I surprised everyone again. Then my mother opened a few boxes and saw that I only bought ten kilograms of tofu. Fortunately, the tofu here is the kind of vacuum-packed hard. Otherwise, the plastic box would have been pressed into tofu mud.

My mother quickly freed up the space in the refrigerator and put some easily damaged things, such as tofu, dried silk, oily tofu, and messy soy products accounted for more than half, and finally the refrigerator was full, and domestic The bean curd and day lily were not put in. You must know that the refrigerator in Ju'an's house is a large refrigerator with double doors and a person's height. A refrigerator is almost the same as a large wardrobe. At one point, my mother prepared and ate it at noon. As for the dry goods that I bought, chili sauce and the like, my mother and elder sister packed them into the kitchen cabinet.

After seeing that she was almost cleaned up, Ju An went back to her room, took a shower and changed her clothes. By the way, she put the clothes that she had brought to her brother's house for the past few days into the laundry basket and brought them upstairs. When I left, my sister took the basket and asked Ju An to do her own work. My sister helped to wash the clothes. Not to mention that my mother and elder sister lived a comfortable life in Ju An. Every day, someone made food, and they even returned. Someone is doing laundry. I really want my mother and sister to live here forever. Unfortunately, it will be September soon. My sister and brother-in-law are going to work. It won't be long before this big house will be left by herself again, Ju An thought regretfully.

As soon as Ju An was about to go out, his mother stopped Ju An: "Third son, go to the pond to see if the ducks and geese are laying eggs again. There are a few things that don't lay eggs in their nests, so they like to lay eggs in the grass. Eggs are laid in it, if I hadn't accidentally discovered it once, and I didn't know it, go to the pond and look carefully."

Ju An agreed, and then asked, "Where are Ran Ran and Tongtong, as well as father and brother-in-law? Why haven't I seen them?"

The mother said: "There is a technology or something in the little Jerry's school, I don't know if I can invite my friends to go there, so the little Jerry invited Ran Ran and Tongtong to go there. Now the four little guys go everywhere in waves. Yes, after adding Wu Song, Hutou and Suantou don't have this treatment, they stay at home, your father and your brother-in-law brought them with you, mobile wallets."

The elder sister smiled and said, "There is a math and technology conference. Many little guys went there today, and Jerry's father and mother went too."

"Then have you told your father and brother-in-law that foreigners are generally made by AA, so you can just pay yourself?" Ju An asked.

The elder sister nodded and said, "I see, I reminded them a long time ago, there is no problem, and now Ran Ran can stammer and say a few words in English."

Ju An nodded, and went out to prepare the horse. When they reached the door of the house, Hutou and Suantou greeted them with their tails wagging. They walked to the door of the stable and whistled. After a while, Dou Cao ran over with snowflakes. Prepare a saddle for the bean grass, bring the tiger head and garlic head, step on the bean grass and run towards the direction of the pond.

Far away from the pond, I could easily hear the roars of Preserved Egg and Sith, and Hutou and Garantou also barked wildly. They stepped up to beat their horses to take a look, and found that Preserved Egg and Sith were chasing a fox, and the fox was slyly circling. In circles, Pidan and Sith are not as flexible as the fox. Every time they want to hit, the fox starts to circle in a small circle, getting rid of the big mouths of the two dogs, and waiting for Hutou and Garantou to join the battle. , was surrounded by four dogs not long after, followed by the fox and was pushed to the ground by the preserved egg. All around, watching Ju An's barking, Ju An looked at the small fox, still full of beautiful, pale red fur with no blood on it, and suddenly the garlic head, tiger head and Sith started barking again. , ran towards the small forest not far away. At this time, the fox in the preserved egg's mouth immediately began to struggle, but its struggle was no threat to the preserved egg. The fox came over, and the little guys were only a little big, and they didn't struggle at all in the mouths of the three big dogs.

The big fox in the preserved egg's mouth was screaming even more sharply. Ju An saw that several members of the good guy's family had been arrested, so he said to the dogs, "Let it go, it's pathetic."The four dogs put down the fox family in their mouths, but they were still surrounded. The old fox escaped, but did not escape. They barked around the little fox, and the little fox also barked. If there is a movie, Ju'an will be one The standard villain, with a bunch of dog legs, surrounded the poor people, and robbed people of their belongings.

Ju An said to the four dogs, "Come here."As he said that, he took a few steps back with the four loyal dogs. The old fox seemed to understand what Ju An meant. He walked towards the woods with the little fox, and turned back and yelled at Ju An twice. grateful.

Just as Ju An wanted to sigh, Sith took out a duck egg from a haystack, and there was a small wet silver paw on it. It was definitely not a dog's paw. The marks on the four dog's legs were much larger than this. It turned out that this family The fox wanted to steal my duck eggs, so Ju An patted the heads of a few dogs one by one as a reward.

Then he put the duck eggs under a few noses and sniffed it and said, "Don't look at the restless one who laid the eggs outside again, let me find them all."After the four dogs got the order, they barked twice and went along the pond to look for eggs.

Ju An crossed Erlang's legs and sat on a few plastic chairs, humming a little song, rather like Huang Shiren who grabbed Xier.These chairs were originally folding chairs for Ju An. Later, when Old Thomas saw the trouble he brought every time, he suggested to put a few plastic chairs here. Now Ju An thinks it is much more convenient.

While thinking about it, I saw Preserved Egg wagging his tail and came over with a duck egg in his mouth. He rubbed his head and praised him, "Well done, I really didn't feed you in vain, I'll look for it again."Then the preserved egg shook and continued to work.

I found a total of four duck eggs before and after, and then went to the poultry house to see that there were also seven duck eggs. These dozen ducks are really good. When I touched the duck eggs, I saw a big goose hatching eggs. After calling, a goose immediately came over, trying to drive Ju An away, but immediately shrank back in fright with the barking of Preserved Egg.

I deeply despise this kind of urban management who is soft and afraid of hard work.Carrying the duck egg, he comforted the century egg and the Sith, took the other two dog-legged tiger head and garlic head, boasted the bean grass, and returned home.

After giving the duck eggs to my mother, I asked, "Mom, how many duck eggs have you saved, and are there enough to pickle a batch?"

My sister said: "It's more than 40. Your ducks and geese are really good. They are a lot bigger than the ones at home. The geese start laying eggs so early, and the ducks basically have one a day."

Ju An asked: "The goose is very big, I don't see anything strange."

The mother said: "Generally a big goose is about sixteen or seven pounds. Our goose is estimated to be about twenty pounds. Your father also said that he has never seen such a big goose, and it is fierce. Last time your father Seeing a fox being chased away by a few geese, if it wasn't for the preserved egg looking at your dad, he wouldn't have dared to touch the egg."

Ju An rubbed his head and thought: Looking at the shapes of the Hutou guys, is it true that the things raised in the space are bigger than those outside?As for the size of the geese, Ju An did not know. When he was sensible, the whole family moved to the county town. Wherever there is a place to raise geese, even if they saw it, they would pass by at a glance. As for the fierceness of the geese, this Ju An already knew , Some people in the countryside directly raise a few geese to look after the house.

Ju An got rid of the thought in his head: "Mom, are there enough duck eggs to pickle in a jar?"

My sister smiled and said: "That's enough, you've been away for four or five days, and there are basically more than 60 of them, which is enough for a big jar. You are fine, so go and wash the jar first, and then clean it." Drop it over the mouth of the jar to dry the water inside, and my mother and I will pickle duck eggs in the afternoon."

As soon as Ju An heard the spirit, he took out the jar from the warehouse. It was the sauce-colored jar with a small mouth and a big belly that he brought from home last time. Ju An was afraid that Lao Mei could not sell it here, so he bought it directly from his hometown. , I brought a jar with me last time I went home. This time I went home for a wedding in October. No matter what, I have to get a big jar over here. When the autumn and winter change, my mother will get me a jar of sauerkraut from my hometown.
