Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 136: Miscalculate
Chapter 136 Miscalculation
At night, in order not to arouse public outrage, Jian Heng placed the dining place under the porch of his new house.
Why would it arouse public outrage? Because a group of students are facing the most "harsh" stage of being vegetarian these days, that is to say, they can only eat one meal of hard meat every three days.
Jian Heng treats others so strictly and treats himself leniently, how could he lose his own people, so Damai, Mai, Zhao Changshan and his group also gathered under the corridor, around the small half of the long table full of them, gluttonous Eat up.
Different from the green vegetables and tofu on the students' table, the dishes on this table are all meat dishes, and the only two vegetarian dishes are prepared for the final bowel cleansing.
Zhao Weigang picked up a piece of swan meat, picked up the towel at hand and wiped his mouth: "Is this swan meat? Is it not surprising compared to domestic geese?"
After speaking, it seemed that the meat was a bit stuck in the teeth, and he turned his face and stretched out his little finger to buckle between his teeth.
I heard that everyone was very excited to eat swan tonight, but it tasted like that in my mouth.
"Okay, your toad's dream has come true!" Zhao Changshan joked at his nephew.
"Uncle, I'm your nephew, we haven't released five clothes yet!" Zhao Wei looked at Zhao Changshan with a wicked smile.
Americans don’t understand, but all the Chinese on the table understood in seconds. Everyone also knows that Zhao Changshan and Zhao Wei are uncles and nephews, and the nephew is a toad. So what is an uncle?
As a result, there was a burst of wild laughter on the table.
Even if this kind of fun is explained, Americans can’t find anything, so Jian Heng explained the meaning, and Barley, Wheat and Jim are still at a loss.
Huang Xiaodong finished laughing, and said directly to Zhao Wei: "Just eat what you have. You didn't look at the group of students now. When they saw the food in the restaurant tonight, everyone's faces were not very good, and they seemed to have lost their energy in queuing." of".
Jian Heng put down the swan's wings after hearing this. At this time, half of the meat on the wings was gone: "You look bad? As for it, it's just that I haven't eaten meat for more than a day!"
"Maybe they have already adapted to the previous diet, and it is a bit uncomfortable to suddenly switch from all-meat to all-vegetarian. So, starting from this morning, these people will complain every time they eat, why there is no meat, and the dishes are tasteless and so on. Yes! Everyone is far less motivated to eat than before!" Damai said, looking up at Jian Heng.
In the hearts of the two sisters, Da Mai and Mai, they always feel that there are many things, which seem to be the tricks of Jian Heng, but they can't find anything when they ask. So there is always such a lingering shadow in their hearts, which makes them like to observe the expression on Jian Heng's face.
After taking a look, he felt that Jian Heng had no reaction, so Barley continued to eat the beef tenderloin from the green pepper beef tenderloin happily.
Wheat, on the other hand, concentrated on a piece of steak, holding it in his hand and gnawing it in his mouth.
"Aren't you motivated? No matter how high you are, you won't be able to afford rice!" Zhao Changshan then replied, "Don't eat meat! This group of people is a waste of rice!"
Huang Xiaodong nodded and said: "That's for sure, they exercise so much, they must eat a lot. You didn't see the two anorexic women, now they can eat two bowls of rice with broth alone! It's not like us The normal bowl, the direct sea bowl, not to mention the reincarnation of several other starving ghosts, let me tell you, that little fat man named Simon Rogers, at noon, he directly killed a small pot of rice by himself, almost The rice from a medium-sized electric cooker, if it is put in China, he alone can catch up with the rations of two families, and the one named Sean Barrett is not bad, who thinks that a skinny person can eat four bowls of rice?... ".
Huang Xiaodong gestured to the size of the bowl while talking.
"real or fake?"
Jian Heng was a little surprised. If according to his gestures, this guy has to eat so much rice, it may not be as cost-effective as letting them eat pigs.
Because Americans don’t eat pigs in the water, and they can’t sell them at a high price. In the past, many of them were directly thrown into the feed, so it really doesn’t cost much to buy them, but they are difficult to take care of.
"Really, it's just too much!" Zhao Changshan said: "It's impossible for these people to have no oil in their stomachs!"
Hearing what Zhao Changshan said, Jian Heng felt a little regretful in his heart, and kept echoing in his mind: I forgot, I miscalculated!
Jian Heng didn't expect this to happen. After a day of exercise with Denver's secret "caretaker", this group of people sleep like dead dogs, but the guy who eats like a wolf. These people feel that they have exhausted a lot of physical energy mentally, so they can eat naturally, just like many fitness people are particularly prone to gain weight, because when they exercise, their food intake will also increase, and their appetite will improve, but if they stop exercising , naturally also fat.
Seeing that Jian Heng was silent, Damai, who was sitting directly opposite Jian Heng, pointed his finger at his boss: "He must be thinking about money in his heart!"
Really got the right guess by Barley!
Jian Heng is now thinking about whether to change it back, the big deal is to get more pigs into the water, the pig intestines are not only a little difficult to take care of, but they are still quite cheap.
"It must be, every time he has such an expression, he is calculating other people's wallets! Or he is calculating how to save money." Wheat Interface added that it was closer to the real situation.
When the people at the table heard what the two sisters said, they couldn't help but chuckled.
On the other table, Jim was the only one who was very attentive in eating. To be honest, Jim is not very used to Chinese food. He thinks it is too greasy and has a strong taste. A diet heavy in oil and salt does not seem to be good for the body.
But he is also a person who is willing to go out. Since he has made Chinese friends and partners, he has to eat Chinese food even if it is for money. He has to integrate into the lives of Chinese people and strive for an early date. Be a China hand.
For now, Jim is still far from being a China hand. Jim is the one who eats the most blunt Chinese food in the table now. Because of this, the talkative Jim has a lot less words at the dinner table. Concentrate on 'delicious'.
The people at the table chuckled together, immediately interrupting Jian Heng's train of thought.
Jian Heng raised his head and saw that everyone was smiling, so he followed suit and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm saying that you must be thinking about money now!" Wheat said in an interface.
"Really!" Jian Heng admitted with a bachelor.
Hearing Jian Heng's confession, sisters Mai and Damai raised their eyebrows at the same time, with the little pride we guessed on their faces.
"Let them persist for a while, but it will only take two or three days! Is it so difficult!" Jian Heng decided to stick to his idea, but also decided to cross out the item of being a vegetarian in the future. The rice on the side is more expensive than pigs. Thinking of the price of rice, and the price of pig intestines, pig heart, and pig liver, Jian Heng felt a little uneasy.
"One more thing. I won't be on the ranch for six or seven days after tomorrow. You should be careful in training so that nothing happens. Second, if there is something wrong, Brother Changshan, if my phone doesn't work, you Give me an idea first!..."
So at the dinner table, Jian Heng started his work schedule for the next week.
"Are you going to change the scene?" The two sisters, Barley and Wheat, looked at each other and asked at the same time.
Jian Heng said: "Didn't I promise Lao Wo something last month? You also know the situation of their ranch, and there is nothing you can do if you don't change the field! It's okay, I will be back in six or seven days."
"But soon after you came back, you are going to China again! We really want to go to both places?" The eyes of the two sisters were full of loss.
"Oh, there's no other way! Who told you that you two are just employees and I'm the BOSS? Besides, I've been tired of watching you two for a long time, so it's good to go out for a change," Jian Heng joked with a smile.
Balley and Wheat didn't speak, and returned **** to Jian Heng as before.
Jian Heng's conversation with Damai and Mai was completely noticed by He Ye. He looked at Damai and Mai for a while, and then turned back to Jian Heng, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised from time to time.
After finishing the meal lively, everyone packed up their things together. Da Mai and Mai took Denver back to the dormitory, Huang Xiaodong and Zhang Jialiang went to the students’ dormitory to have a look, Zhao Wei and Feng Sanzhu went back to the restaurant, Continue to work, Zhao Changshan drove home.
The remaining four Jian Heng, to be precise, three people plus an 'invisible' person, sat on the porch shelf together, drinking whiskey while admiring the stars in the sky above their heads.
"No wonder Montana is called the State of the Sky. The stars in the sky are much brighter than New York. Not only are they brighter, but they also have a special sense of mystery, like blue velvet covered with countless diamonds. It's so amazing. It's beautiful..." When Jim heard that the cultural level was not very good, he described it as mediocre, and it was either velvet or something upside down, and there was no other way of saying it.
I saw him muttering to himself for a few minutes. He took a small sip of the wine, and then began to sing the poem with a little "elegance", praising the sky of Montana with the sentences in the poem.
"The stars here are really endless," Jian Heng agreed.
Although I disdain the uneducated Jim, the beauty of the sky in Montana is needless to say.
To be honest, the starry sky here in Montana is the most beautiful, beautiful and pure among all the starry sky Jian Heng has seen in the past twenty years.
When you are like Jian Heng now, with a glass of wine in your hand and almost nothing in your mind, admiring the night sky of Montana in this way, you suddenly feel like your whole body is emptied, which is very comfortable.
It's a pity that at this time of year, the nights in Montana are getting colder, and I can't even sit on a long sleeve. I have to wear a long sleeve made of thick material to appreciate the beautiful scenery on such a good day.
