American Ranch

Chapter 38 Unexpectedly
Qin Yi saw that Susa was bored staying at home, so he took her to the vegetable garden first, and introduced Suxi and the others, but he didn't expect that they already knew each other. Thinking about it, Susa has lived here since she was a child, for 3 years He came back from Los Angeles to take over his father's farm before, and they are all neighbors, so it's strange if they don't know each other.

Susie felt a little strange seeing Susa and Angel coming over. Qin Yi simply told about the car accident and murder. Susie was terrified and sympathized with the poor mother and daughter. First, he scolded Bieber for being an asshole, The scum, took Susa's hand to comfort him for a while.

"Susa, Yi is a good person. You can live here with peace of mind. There are many ranchers and cattle dogs. It is safer than you alone! Also, I am always here, we are all here, and we will pass!"

Susie is like a caring and good mother. Some intimate words say that Susa, who has no mother since she was a child, has red eye circles and feels very warm in her heart.

Qin Yi also sighed, sure enough, women and women still have common topics to talk about, so you don't have to have any scruples when you say something, you can see that the two have become good friends in a while!

After chatting for a while, Susie looked at Angel again, wanting to say hello to this cute little girl, but I also heard that this poor child doesn't like strangers!

Angel was still a little timid towards people other than her mother and Qin Yi. If Qin Yi and Su Sa hadn't brought her along, the little girl wouldn't have dared to come over.

Qin Yi pulled Angel, and comforted softly: "An Qier, uncle and mother are here, come, say hello to Grandma Susie!"

Susie looked at the lovely Angel with a smile, and she was looking forward to her being able to call her grandma!Speaking of which, Susie and Ryan also want a grandson in recent years, but Burke is also 25-[-], and doesn't even have a stable girlfriend, so the two can only look forward to it helplessly.But today, looking at Angel, Susie felt that she could experience the feeling of being a grandma!

Seeing her mother and Uncle Yi smiling and encouraging her, Angel no longer resisted in her heart, walked towards Susie slowly, and whispered, "Grandma Susie, I'm Angel!"

Susie wowed and smiled brightly, "Oh, what a cute elf, hello, Angel, shall we be friends?"

When An Qier heard this, she looked forward to being friends, but she didn't have any friends, except for her mother and Uncle Yi!
An Qier turned her head to look at her mother, then at Qin Yi, both smiled and nodded, encouraging her.

Feeling the sense of security and confidence given by the two, the little girl looked back at Susie with a happy smile, imitating the adults, wanting to shake hands with Susie, "Grandma Susie, I like to be friends with you!"

Susie happily shook hands with Angel, and praised Angel for being cute, sensible, and a good boy. The happy Angel gradually lost her restraint, and behaved like an ordinary child in front of the three of them.

Susa, who was next to him, saw all this, and was overjoyed by Angel's transformation. She took a look at Qin Yi, and once again felt that it's good to know Qin Yi, and it has brought huge changes to her life and Angel's life!

The three looked at Angel who was playing around in the vegetable garden, chatting casually about vegetables, children and other topics.After a while, Qin Yi wanted to catch small fish, so he took the little girl away, leaving Su Sa and Su Xi to take care of the vegetable garden.

Bringing Angel to the warehouse, Qin Yi put the net bag and small bucket on the four-wheeled motorcycle, took the bait, carried Angel up to finish, and set off towards the nearest small lake.

This is a small square lake with a width of about 20 meters. The water of the lake is clear, the shore is covered with pastures, the water is not deep, and the center of the lake is only a little over 1 meter.There are not many big fish in the lake, mostly small fish swimming around.However, with so many lakes in the ranch, there are still many lakes full of big fish, which are areas where Chinese carp are flooded.

After getting out of the car, Angel looked at the small lake and was a little excited. She wanted to play in the water, but Qin Yi hurriedly stopped her. The little man was only 1 meter long. It would be dangerous if she ran to the center of the lake.Fortunately, An Qier didn't make trouble, but looked up at Qin Yi with big eyes full of expectation, "Uncle Yi, I want to walk by the water, is that okay?"

Seeing the little girl's expression, Qin Yi couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay, Angel, but you have to hold my hand."

Angel cheered, passed her little hand over, let Qin Yi hold her, and ran to the small lake.When I arrived at the lake, I took off my shoes, held it in my left hand, and happily walked slowly in the cool lake water, scaring away a small fish or stepping on a freshwater snail from time to time, I was very happy.

Qin Yi took the giggling little girl by the hand, and couldn't catch the little fish anymore. There was a lot of noise, and before he could reach the front, the little fish and shrimp ran away!In the end, Qin Yi had no choice but to put the net bag in the lake water, put the bait in it, and wait for the small fish and shrimp to throw themselves into the net, while he led the little man around the lake to play on the water, and the happy angel couldn't stop laughing.

After playing for more than half an hour, Angel got tired, so Qin Yi carried a small bucket and led her to pick up freshwater snails by the lake.This was my favorite when I was a child. A serving of fried snails or mussels has recorded many fond memories of teenagers.

I haven’t seen American river mussels yet, so there should be, maybe at the bottom of the lake, and I can’t see them, but there are still a lot of freshwater snails, not to mention everywhere, but they are also easy to pick up.

Angel and Qin Yi were carrying the bucket together, picking up large or small snail heads, some didn't understand what Uncle Yi was picking up, "Uncle Yi, don't you want to catch small fish? I want to eat fried small fish!"

"I'm catching." Qin Yi smiled, pointing to the net bag on the opposite side of the lake, "It's right there, let's get the net bag back later, there will be little fish."

Angel nodded and continued to pick up the snail heads.

"An Qier, the snail head is also delicious. I'll make it for you to eat tonight. It's as delicious as fried fish!"

When the little girl heard that it was delicious, her face burst into a smile, and she picked it up even more vigorously!
In fact, the United States does not eat these mussels and snail heads, and even rarely eats freshwater fish. This has something to do with their food culture and ecological protection policies.The specific point is that there is no complicated cooking. Many freshwater fish are not tasty, and most of them have too many bones. It is unsightly to spit out bones while eating.

In terms of ecology, the United States is also very strict. For example, in Qin Yi’s ranch, large-scale fishing of wild trout is illegal. Even to hold a large-scale fishing or hunting event, you have to apply to the government, and the participants must have a fishing license. , hunter certificate, and stipulate the fishing, prey quantity, and weight of each person. In short, it is too troublesome!
Of course, if you catch the Asian carp that is flooding, you will be fishing for extinction. Except for a few people from the Animal Protection Association, no one will blame you, and maybe even Xiao Ohei will award you a patriotic medal!
After picking up 2 large bowls of snail heads, Qin Yi grabbed An Qier who was still picking them up with great interest, "An Qier, these are enough for us to eat, we will come back if we want to eat some other day."

An Qier stood on tiptoe, stretched her head to look into the small bucket that Qin Yi was carrying, um, everything is much better!Qin Yi smiled, and wanted to touch the head of this snack, but after picking up so many snail heads, his hands were covered with muddy water, so forget it.

I took Angel to the opposite side, lifted the net bag and looked, well, there are about two big bowls of small fish and shrimp, and the harvest is really good.Pour the fish and shrimp into the bucket, mix the snail head and fish and shrimp together, put it back in the net bag, and come and see if you want to eat it another day, there should be a harvest!
Taking Angel back to the ranch, Susa has also returned, helping Qin Yi clean up the fish and shrimp. The snail heads are soaked in clear water, and they will not be eaten until tomorrow. Qin Yi put some salt, so that the snail heads will spit out sand faster.

They are all finger-length small fish. It is good to remove the internal organs and then wash them, but they are also cleaned up very quickly.Qin Yi sprinkled salt and sauce, put it aside to marinate, first made beef burrito, handed it to Angel who was watching anxiously, and then turned back to fry the fish.

Susa doesn't know how to cook these Chinese dishes, and she couldn't help her, and felt a little uncomfortable, so Qin Yi asked her to go to vegetable salad, meat and vegetables, healthy life!

Not long after dinner, Angel was about to go to bed, so she pulled Qin Yi to tell a story, Qin Yi naturally would not refuse, told a story about a gourd baby, put the little girl to sleep, went back to the living room, and watched it with Susa Watched TV for a while, chatted for a while, and went back to bed early.

The next afternoon, Susa went to the vegetable garden again. Qin Yi was sitting on the rocking chair with Angel in his arms, playing with the little girl. With a flat voice without emotion, the poker face of the great detective naturally flashed in front of his eyes!

"Have you found the evidence?" Qin Yi didn't talk nonsense.

"no!"

In the voice of the great detective, there was no trace of embarrassment, Qin Yi was surprised, why did you call without finding any evidence!Just ask if you don't understand, Qin Yi has always had a good habit of learning and asking questions!
"Then what do you mean?" This sentence was said in Chinese, and the other side was taken aback when he heard it. Although he knew Chinese, he only knew some common grammar and common expressions. This is really difficult!
Seeing him in a daze, Qin Yi hummed twice in his heart, making you show that you know a lot of foreign languages!Should I recommend him to watch The Legend of Zhen Huan?

"What's the matter with the phone call?"

"Bieber is dead!"

The voice of the big detective is as flat as ever, as relaxed and stress-free as if he was talking to his neighbors about whether it will rain today!But when it fell into Qin Yi's ears, it was like a thunderclap, which made him sit up from the recliner all of a sudden. Fortunately, he answered the phone and found out that it was a big detective, so Qin Yi asked Angel to go back to the house to play with Lai Pi, otherwise he would still Don't be thrown to the ground by Qin Yi!
When Bieber murdered Susa, Qin Yi was always thinking about how to find evidence and call the police without alarming others, but it never came to the point where things would develop to the present.

"How did Bieber die? Tell me everything you know!" Qin Yi's voice was a little hurried, and he felt that something might exceed expectations!

"The people in Salt Lake City did it!" The detective's first sentence was unexpected, but reasonable, "Bieber owed them a lot of money, was caught while escaping, and thought of murdering Susa They agreed. It’s just that the result of the car accident was unexpected, and your intervention made them feel that it’s unwise to fight with you for hundreds of thousands of dollars! As for killing Bieber, one is to collect debts , and the second is to show kindness to you, and from now on, they will have nothing to do with each other!"

"Show favors?" There were too many accidents today. Just now I thought they would come to trouble me, but I didn't expect the plot to develop like this. "Why? They dare to kill, I thought they would come to trouble me!"

"Trouble you?" The corner of the big detective's mouth twitched, "Do you think they are fools? Bieber is a small character, no one cares, and you are a big rancher. If something happens, it will attract the attention of the high-level! They make money It's faster than robbery, why are you uncomfortable?"

After listening to the words, Qin Yi rubbed his nose, yes, who would live a good life with money, but he insisted on making life difficult for himself!
"Then this matter is over? By the way, where is that Price?" Almost forgot about this rascal!

"Forget about Price, this matter is like this for now, it has nothing to do with each other, it depends on how life is arranged in the future!"

ps: Thank you for your recommendation tickets and classmate C Yafei’s reward!We didn't receive any application from Sanjiang on Wednesday, so it seems like we're out of luck again! ! !
