Little Life on An American Ranch

Seeing the dinner made by Barley and Wheat, Jian Heng had to admit from the bottom of his heart that it was very western, closer to the rural style of the United States. Δ』Look at ΔBook』Δ Pavilion Ww W. Кan ShUge. la

Forty minutes later, Jian Heng returned home with Zhang Jialiang and the others. At this time, the two sisters had almost arranged everything. Jian Heng and the others just had to sit at the table, and the two sisters were like butterflies. The dinner was brought up.

The eating place is also very American. A long table is placed directly on the wooden terrace next to the house. Because there were few people in the pasture, the current long table is made up of two square tables. There was also a gray tablecloth on it, which made it quite stylish, at least much more romantic than Zhao Changshan's rough and rough.

Not only that, but there was also a candle holder in the middle, with candles inserted and lit on it. Although it was not as good as the lights hanging above the head, the atmosphere was a little more lively.

All these arrangements showed that the two sisters took great care of this dinner!

Therefore, Jian Heng is not good at suppressing their enthusiasm, and he is not ashamed to tell the two of them that this candlestick used to be used by old Anders' elder brother or younger brother, and used it to kill a Viet Cong official, and this The origin of the candlestick does not seem to be so glorious. Old Anders rarely used it when he was alive. He just kept it to commemorate his brother. Jian Heng went out two days ago and wanted to throw it away. He did not expect to be used by the two sisters today. on.

Huang Xiaodong looked at the plate of steak in front of him, his eyes widened, he was stunned for a while, and then he said to the two sisters, Barley and Wheat, "Barley, Wheat, I don't think I can eat it!"

Not only Huang Xiaodong, Zhao Wei and Zhang Jialiang also nodded together, staring at the steak in front of them in a daze.

These days, except in the morning, they eat beef almost every meal at noon and night, and the food is a bit weak. Seeing that such a large piece is still beef, and coupled with doubts about the cooking standards of the two sisters and the young lady, the three of them are a little bit My son is worried.

Many people in China have eaten Tomahawk steak in western restaurants, which is the kind with meat hanging from the ribs. Tonight everyone also ate Tomahawk steak, but this Tomahawk is different from domestic or ordinary Tomahawks. What appeared in front of everyone today is the super version of Tomahawks!

The flank bone of the 'Tomahawk' on the plate was almost 40 centimeters long, which is not scary, but the scary thing is that the meat hanging on the bone weighs about one and a half catties, and the whole beef looks almost as big as a human face. After baking, it is as thick as a finger and a half.

Not to mention that there is a piece of baked potato on the plate, not French fries, but slices of potato slices that are shaved out with a corrugated planer. In addition, there are two pieces of broccoli, a few small pieces stacked together The fried onions, in the blank space of the plate, also ordered a small half spoonful of sauce.

Except for the whole cow, which is a bit scary, the side dishes are quite satisfactory.

How come there is no wine to accompany the steak, and soon there is another glass of red wine in front of everyone.

Just such a large piece of steak is not enough for dinner, and there is a vegetable salad about the size of a small washbasin in the middle of the table.

Gudong!

Jian Heng could hear the sound of Zhang Jialiang's Adam's apple next to him when he swallowed and spit. It wasn't Zhang Jialiang's gluttony, but the kid's subconscious reaction of being a little dumbfounded when faced with such a big piece of steak.

"Try it, you must have never eaten it, this is the secret recipe of our McAvoy family, which has been passed down to us since my grandmother!"

At this time, Barley motioned for everyone to start the meal, and after he finished speaking, he took Maid's hand and prayed a simple pre-meal prayer. Because no one else is a believer, the two sisters did not force others to pray.

When Jian Heng heard the ancestral biography, and then his grandmother, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: Can it be said that it is ancestral transmission from the grandmother's generation? Your ancestral biography is too short! In our China, there are no five or six generations, so we don't have the nerve to talk about what is passed down from our ancestors.

While Barley and Wheat were praying, Jian Heng picked up the fork in his hand and picked up the steak for a look, wanting to see if the meat was suitable for eating.

I have to say that the steak looks pretty good, at least from the outside. The outside is slightly charred, but it is not burnt. It seems that when grilling, it has fully considered how to lock the juice in the meat.

While Jian Heng was flipping through the steaks, the two sisters finished praying, and saw that Jian Heng and the others did not do anything, and Jian Heng was still reaching out to pick up the steak, so they began to persuade them.

"try it!"

Everyone persuaded them for the second time, and Jian Heng put the knife and fork together. In order to show his support for the cooking skills of the two sisters, Jian Heng cut a large piece with the first knife.

From the cut, the steak was very tender, and the taste of the beef coming out of the cut seemed to be good, but Jian Heng was still a little worried, fearing that the beef would not be so tasty, so he dipped it in a little more sauce.

With a nervous mood, Jian Heng put the beef in his mouth, chewed it, and found that the taste was okay. After a hmm, when he chewed the third bite, the gravy burst out, and the delicious taste of the whole beef came out completely. At this time, Jian Heng felt that the little sauce he had just now was a bit redundant.

Giving a thumbs up to the two sisters, Jian Heng praised: "It's great! The taste exceeds my expectations."

"Mm, delicious, delicious!" Huang Xiaodong kept nodding after eating, his knife and fork flying, and focused on the steak.

Zhao Wei and Zhang Jialiang were quite satisfied with what they ate, and they kept nodding their heads when they heard what Jian Heng said.

When they ate it, they felt that their taste buds were wide open. They didn't know whether it was because they had been eating Chinese beef for a long time, or because the two sisters were really good at cooking. Everyone ate it fiercely.

"I didn't expect you to have such skills in barley and wheat." Zhao Wei took a sip of red wine, swallowed the beef in his mouth, and then praised it.

"Much better than my uncle's steak!" Zhao Wei sold Zhao Changshan instantly.

"The key to making steak is the ingredients when marinating, and the fire must be strong at the beginning of grilling, so that all the gravy can be locked in..." Seeing that everyone likes it, Barley is very happy Speaking of grilling steak tricks.

Everyone likes these things. It’s like there is a special time limit for the degree of doneness of a grilled steak, but there are differences in the same time and the same marinade for different people. This is the craftsmanship.

Jian Heng is not too fond of Western food, but he is only full of praise for steak or barbecue, which is not collectively referred to as Western food. He directly said that it is American country-style barbecue.

After cutting a few pieces, Huang Xiaodong picked up the handle of the ribs that had been dried out with oil, opened his mouth and gnawed, nodding continuously while gnawing.

Jian Heng was already full after eating half a piece. He put the remaining beef bone and beef on the plate, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I'm full, feed the rest to Denver!"

After hearing this, Mai Mai said, "Denver has one too!"

After speaking, he gestured with his eyes.

When Jian Heng heard it, he looked in the direction Mai Mai was looking at, and saw that the "Tomahawk" in front of the little white lion was one size bigger than himself, and the little thing was lying on the ground, tilting its head and mouthing Chewing, grinning so happily while eating.

As if sensing Jian Heng's gaze, the little white lion raised its head, its little pink tongue circled around its nose and mouth, and then buried its head down to gnaw, making crackling noises from its teeth and bones as it gnawed.

Seeing its bear appearance, Jian Heng sighed: "Oh, you also look like a lion when you eat."

"Next time, make it smaller. Although our ranch raises cattle, we can't support such a waste!" Jian Heng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then put the wine glass back.

To be honest, Jian Heng doesn't like the taste of red wine very much. Relatively speaking, he still prefers the national wine. Among the national wines, Moutai is a good wine, but he is not too used to the sauce-flavored wine. My favourite, Jian Heng still likes the sky blue of Yanghe, the price has nothing to do with his liking, the most important thing is whether he likes it or not.

Speaking of the size of the steak, Jian Heng stretched out his hand and nodded beside him: "Look, everyone thinks the portion is too much."

Turning his head and looking around, Jian Heng was a little dumbfounded, because the two guys sitting next to him were already gnawing bones, not to mention Huang Xiaodong, who was originally a beef professional, and now he has already done so. I'm eating potatoes.

"Forget that I didn't say it!"

At this time, Jian Heng had the urge to cover his face, thinking: Why are all the big-bellied men in my ranch!

Seeing these guys, Jian Heng felt a little annoyed now, and felt that these guys didn't give him any face at all. Turning his head to look at the barley and wheat, Jian Heng could only sigh, and wanted to say goodbye. It's a feeling of turning away, because when Jian Heng became angry, the two sisters, Damai and Mai, were also happy, like Zhao Wei and the others, holding a bone in one hand and gnawing on it.

Mai Mai said happily while gnawing: "I used to dare not eat it even if I wanted to. Every time my mother baked it, we only ate such a small piece. Now that it's better, I don't worry about gaining weight."

"Jane, I'm so lucky to know you!" Da Mai also said.

"It seems that I'm a little bit tragic!" Jian Heng looked at the two of them, dumbfounded, and said jokingly.

Wheat put down the bones in his hands: "You don't know how difficult it is to keep in shape, you can't eat this one, you can't eat that one, after getting to know you, Ashley and I watch TV every day, either popcorn or a big bucket of ice cream, too It was fun!"

"Okay, you continue to sigh, I'll go and see the horses." Jian Heng said as he pushed the chair away, signaling them to eat slowly, while he walked towards the old cowshed.

Before arriving at the cowshed, Jian Heng discovered the problem. There were no horses in the old cowshed. When he got closer, he found that the iron chain that was attached to the door had been thrown to the ground by someone.

"Barley, wheat, have you opened the railing of the old fence?" Jian Heng asked loudly.

Damai immediately replied: "No, what's the matter?"

"The gate was opened and the horse ran out," Jian Heng said.

Hearing that the horse ran away, Damai and the others quickly ran over.

Everyone looked around the railing and said that it was not him. Jian Heng also thought it was impossible, because the horse of Barley and Wheat had not entered the stalls, and it was now tied to the horse post at the door. The remaining three were even less likely. , came back with Jian Heng, and didn't have time to fiddle with the fence.

"Let's look for it," Zhang Jialiang said.

"Go back and eat. The gates are closed. Where can the horses go? I'll go to the woods to see." Jian Heng then returned to the front of the house, started a mountain bike, and headed towards the small woods where the cows live. walked over.

After walking for a long time, Jian Heng found a herd of horses. A dozen or so horses gathered together to form a small herd, and they were grazing slowly with their heads down.

Look, the leading horse could be whoever it is if it's not Black Dou. Now there is no other stallion in the herd except him. It can be said that this guy picked up a horse king for nothing.

He took out his mobile phone and informed them that they don't need to come here. An Sheng had dinner, and Ma had already been found.

After receiving the line, Jian Heng drove towards the horses.

Seeing Jian Heng approaching, Heidou immediately became vigilant, and issued a warning Xilulu. Seeing that Jian Heng did not ignore his warning at all, he immediately turned his head and prepared to run away.

It was getting dark now, Jian Heng was not afraid of it, so he just raised his hand and put the black bean into the space.

Suddenly losing the horse king, the whole horse herd suddenly lost its backbone, and soon they seemed to have forgotten about the horse king, bowed their heads and continued to eat delicious green grass.
