American Ranch

Chapter 42 Christmas Eve

It's Christmas.

The continuous sleet and sleet in the past few days turned into heavy snow on the evening of Christmas Eve...

Chen Mo added a piece of firewood to the fireplace, yawned, and hugged Ali in his arms.Ah Hua is a male cat with a cold personality, and Chen Mo won't let it touch him, lying on the sofa and licking his fur.

Dasha and Ala lay quietly in front of the fire, you look at me, I look at you...what are you looking at?
After the fire started, the room gradually warmed up, and Chen Mo was ready to go out to the bonfire party.

"The magic power of love goes around in circles, thinking of you, thinking of elation, night and day..." The ringtone of Guishou's mobile phone suddenly came to mind, and Da Hua was so frightened that his hairs stood on end. The nervous Erha bit Ala directly, and Ala counterattacked and bit her back...

"Hello." Bai Xiaoou made a video call: "Happy Christmas Eve."

"Hey you ghost, the old man is very bad..." Snow Mountain Ranch also has its own activities, bonfire parties, and snow barbecues.Chen Mo was afraid that this guy would be envious if he said it.

"What are you doing? Warming the fire at home alone...you are all bored."

"It's boring, you guys have been running to California for so long, I'm too lazy to tell you." Bai Xiaoou's video call seemed to be in a bar, and the women on the dance floor were swaying their seductive postures wildly...Jennifer watched the video and threw it A kiss.

"You have nothing to go out for a walk, don't call you every time, you are in the ranch."

"Did you call to do something?"

"On December 12th, Tangxia Yipin in Los Angeles is about to open. Come and cut the ribbon." Bai Xiaoou said as he went out of the bar, and said in a quiet place outside: "I saw Hill a few days ago, on the Avenue of Stars Handing out fliers in a heavy cartoon dress... Jennifer wants to invite her to work at the restaurant."

"Just cut the ribbon, I don't have time. That's it."

"Hey, what do you mean, a big man, don't be so stingy..."

"It's not interesting." Chen Mo smiled wryly.

"You agreed?"

"You are managing the restaurant, you are the big boss, you have the final say. In fact, Hill and I have nothing left."

"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be happy to know. It's Christmas, and you have a lot of work on the ranch?"

Chen Mo changed to a comfortable position and lay down: "Bright is taking care of all the work on the ranch. Now that it's winter, there's nothing to do."

"Let me tell you, the quality of the batch of ginseng sent before is not good. It is too small, not as good as the ginseng sent a few times ago. Do you still have the previous goods? This time it will cost 85 kilograms. 15 kilograms of American ginseng, [-] kilograms of Changbai Mountain ginseng." Bai Xiaoou sat in his car and said.

Chen Mo searched for gold in the space a few times before, and the branch store just opened, Chen Mo dug up a lot of space ginseng...

The reputation of the branch in the San Francisco Bay Area has become a big hit. Counting the time, all the ginseng used are [-] to [-] years old.

"No more." Chen Mo shook his head: "The good ginseng is in the deep mountains. It's snowing here, at least until April and May next year. The goods delivered before have been stored for a long time..."

"That's fine. Ordinary ginseng is also available, 85 kg and 15 kg. Let me tell you, the business of the San Francisco branch is booming. If you come to dinner, you have to make an appointment, and you are making a lot of money every day. I am thinking about opening another hot pot restaurant. It just so happens that this There is a shop on the side that is ready to be sold. I want to focus on high-quality beef and mutton... Is it cheaper to buy from you?"

"Little Sheep or?"

"The little fat sheep can't afford it, it's too expensive, and it's not cost-effective to make hot pot. Can you raise it and sell it? Guaranteed to earn more than the little fat sheep, how about it?"

"It's too late to raise them now, and I can raise some fattened sheep in the future. I have hundreds of fattened cattle here, and some of them should be able to reach the first level (excellent level). When you need to tell in advance, the quality depends on the slaughter." Send you a quote."

"OK, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo was about to go out when there was a 'bang bang bang' knock on the door.

"Chen Mo uncle." Amy's voice, Chen Mo got up and opened the door, wearing a Santa hat: "Uncle Chen Mo, everyone is waiting for you."

"Uncle, let's go now." Chen Mo laughed and hugged Amy Ya.

This is Brett's daughter, six years old, with some freckles on her face, very cute.

"I called you because the line was busy. I thought your car broke down and came over to take a look... Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you." Brett urged.

"Immediately, what's the hurry." Chen Mo put on his hat, the temperature outside was about ten degrees below zero, and there was no wind at all.

Greeting the two dogs to sit in the co-pilot seat, Chen Mo drove on a dirt road to the outside of the feed factory in the breeding area. There was a large open space where firewood was piled high, and the burning flames could be seen from a long distance away.

Someone is grilling meat, someone is playing guitar and singing bad country songs...

"The boss is here." Camerby yelled, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Chen Mo suppressed his hand, and said loudly as a leader: "Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, everyone continue."

Canbi and Asol, one on the left and one on the right, pushed Chen Mo to the front of the charcoal-roasted whole lamb, and handed him a knife: "You have to share this roasted whole lamb with everyone before the banquet officially begins." .”

"What's the point?"

"A large ranch is a big family. You are the boss, equivalent to the head of the patriarch... If you don't dislike us, you give us this sheep, which is your recognition of us." Canbi whispered in Chen Mo's ear. Voice: "This is the tradition of the original Indian cowboy (herder)."

There were more than [-] people (including employees' family members) at the scene. Chen Mo held a knife and didn't know how to do it.

The lamb is too small, I should have slaughtered one more lamb.

Chen Mo asked Carlby to help, and lifted the roasted whole lamb to the table, and began to divide the meat...Everyone has a share, and no one will be left behind.

The roasted lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the skin is crispy, and it can make a sound when you bite it.There is oil in the meat, but it tastes not greasy at all, just one word 'fragrant'.

A roasted whole lamb was shared among everyone, and the bonfire party officially began.

Brett threw wood into the fire, and Canlby turned on the stereo, playing "Penguins' game" on loop.

bunny dance?
The prelude to the music started, and Chen Mo had watched the rabbit dance on TV, and remembered the general movements... I thought everyone would line up like eagles catching chickens...

But everyone held hands and did a kick dance around the ham.

It's the same as showgirls dance in... casinos.

The showgirl is wearing a skirt, following the rhythm of the music, kicking her legs from time to time to reveal the scenery under the skirt...

But let's be honest, not many showgirls in casinos are pretty.

The atmosphere of the bonfire party was very good. After the song ended, everyone gathered together in twos and threes amidst laughter...

There are five barbecue grills, some people are drinking strong alcohol, and clamoring for a naked grizzly fight after drinking too much.Singing, one is uglier than the other...

Chen Mo also picked up the spirits, clinked glasses with Brett and the others, and ate the meat.

Tomorrow is Christmas, followed by New Year's Day, and then the Chinese New Year.

The lively atmosphere made Chen Mo feel homesick...

New Year home...

Have to prepare some dry goods.

It's definitely not good to bring a few little fat sheep back, bacon, game?
