American Ranch

Chapter 48 Returning to the Ranch
After the new year, Chen Chen and his wife went to Hawaii to spend their honeymoon.

They got a B visa over there, played in Hawaii for a while, and then went straight to Seattle.

Type B visa is, B1 is short-term business visit. B-2 is short-term tourism.

The type of visa can be changed when you arrive in the United States, which is more convenient.

Chen Mo's family is visiting relatives, and they are also planning to go to the United States.

During this period of time, Chen Xiao was depressed, and seemed to have a problem with that boy Ankang...

Their company had a holiday before Chinese New Year, a few days before Chen Chen got married.Ankang ran back to his hometown without saying a word, not only did not attend Chen Chen's wedding, but also did not ask Chen Xiao to play or come to pay New Year's greetings.

"Brother, I want to go to America with you." Chen Xiao looked at Chen Mo aggrievedly.

What Chen Mo loves the most is this younger sister. At home, Chen Xiao has never been wronged at all.

"Okay." Chen Mo patted his sister's head: "You and that guy, are you going to separate?"

"I didn't say we broke up, but it's almost the same. I said to see him, but he said no, he will go to work in a few days..."

"It's up to you. I've seen my own life." Chen Mo patted his sister's head: "But I have one request, don't find me a foreign devil brother-in-law, I don't like it."

Chen Xiao puffed up her cheeks: "I'll go out with you to relax, and tell me where I went."

Chen Mo rubbed his sister's hair...

A few days later, Chen Mo and his family went directly to Seattle, joined Chen Chen and his wife and took a small plane to Great Falls.

Great Rapids is named for the Great Falls near the Missouri River.

Great Falls is 170 kilometers away from Snow Mountain Ranch, and it is nearly half of the [-] kilometers from Billings to Snow Mountain Ranch.

In mid-to-late February, the average temperature in Montana is still below zero, especially in areas above 1000 meters above sea level, which are still covered with ice and snow...

After getting off the plane, Chen Mo instinctively wrapped himself up in the cold air that hit his face.

"Hi, Boss." Brett called from afar, waving his hand.

Chen Mo led his family over, hugged Brett, and introduced his family.

Brett was trying to catch up on Chinese during this time, so he made a simple self-introduction in Mandarin and acted as an invitation.

Chen Mo had previously told Bright about their number and luggage, and Bright contacted two Bell 407 helicopters to return to the ranch.

Montana's winter white is a vast expanse.

Looking down from the sky, the vast world opens up people's minds.

Judith plus snow mountain, on the western plains of Montana, a large snow mountain towering impressively.Chen Mo and his parents were sitting in the same helicopter, pointing to the snow mountain: "Dad, Mom, we will reach the ranch after bypassing the snow mountain."

Chen Mo's father looked at the outside world with great interest: "The population here is so small, there is only one village far away."

"That's a town... or a city." Chen Mo smiled and said: "Towns, cities, counties. The administrative units in the United States are different from those in China... The population here is sparse, and some small towns are just a large ranch or farm."

The largest farm and ranch in Montana, Broken O irrigated farm, covers an area of ​​12.4 acres.It seems that it expanded a little in the second half of last year...

The second largest ranch, Bright's previous ranch, was over 10 acres.

There are also several large pastures and farms. If the data remains unchanged, Chen Mo's snow mountain pasture can rank third in terms of area.

The eastern part of Montana is sparsely populated, and most of the land is under the name of investment companies. As far as Chen Mo knows, there are four single pieces of land over 10 acres.Those lands are too desolate, much like the Gobi land in the Snow Mountain Ranch.

Two helicopters landed on the drying field of the feed factory one after another...

The feed factory is also a metal house, covering an area of ​​more than 2000 square meters, with a height of about five meters.There are several expensive machines inside, which can process four to five hundred tons of cake feed every day.Not only can it meet the needs of the ranch itself, but the feed produced can also be exported... As for export, because the ranch has no shortage of funds, it will not be considered for the time being.

There are two ranch residential areas, one is on the side of the factory and office area.The other is in the Lake Valley, where Chen Mo usually lives...

Back at the residence, the grown-up Labrador saw Chen Mo jumping up and down excitedly.Huskies stood at the door, looking at them with doubts on their faces...

Chen Mo comforted Ala with a smile, stepped forward and tapped Dasha on the head lightly, and this guy started messing around excitedly.

At home, Calby helped to take care of them. Knowing that they came back today, firewood was lit in the fireplace in the living room this morning, and the heating in the room was warm.

This is the rancher house, two stories, four bedrooms.

But, the old-fashioned wooden houses have a bad problem, the sound insulation is not good.Chen Chen and his wife, Chen Mo arranged for them to live in the house next door...

There are five houses in the Clay Valley residential area. Canlby and Athol each live in one house, Chen Mo lives in one house, and the remaining two houses.There are other places where there are not too many vacant houses...

"Little cat." Chen Xiao saw the cat at home when she dropped her luggage, and stepped forward to hug and knead it.

What she hugged was a big flower.

Dahua has a cold personality, and hates being hugged the most, meowing with a face full of lovelessness.

Ah Li took the initiative to go to Chen Mo's side, begging for a hug...

Chen Mo picked up Ari, arranged everyone's living quarters, and went to the kitchen to have a look...

Fresh ingredients are prepared in the refrigerator, and various seasonings and vegetables are also prepared in the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom, how about having steak tonight." Chen Mo said.

"Western steak?" Father Chen came in to take a look: "I've never eaten western steak, so I don't know if it's good or not."

"Seven-medium-rare steak, the taste is okay."

Chen Mo took out a large piece of sirloin, and cut out several pieces of steak about 1.5 cm thick with a long knife.

Sirloin is the outer loin of beef, which contains a certain amount of fat. There is a circle of white tendons on the outside of the meat, and the taste is super tough.Although the meat is firm, it is more chewy.The meat of this kind of material cannot be fully cooked, it is best between medium rare and medium rare...

Got some more tomahawk steaks and defrosted them in the microwave.

This is top-quality beef, and it usually needs to be thawed naturally to retain its flavor.Chen Mo and his family are not picky eaters, as long as they can eat.

In the evening, the family sat around the long table in the living room, gorging on meat and drinking.

The sirloin steak is medium-rare, and the tomahawk steak is well-done... The tomahawk steak is more suitable for grilling, and the bone fat is roasted, which is called delicious.

"Well, it's delicious. Especially the sirloin, the tendon of the meat is very chewy, but the beef is so tender that it's oily in the mouth." Chen Chen said.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Chen Mo laughed.

"We have eaten in many western restaurants recently, and I feel that this meat has the best taste."

This is for sure, after all, it is marked with an excellent grade.

Chen Mo raised his glass and everyone touched it.

It's very late today, and I'm tired of traveling, everyone will go to bed early after dinner...
