Yunding Ranch

Chapter 101 Tranquility After the Rain
The storm is raging, and under the lightning and thunder, the entire pasture is shrouded in mist, the woods are crumbling in the strong wind, the rushing stream suddenly turns into a river, and the whole world begins to shake, restless, Violent, raging, surging, surging, noisy.In the face of nature, human beings are so small, as small as dust.

The cattle pen is still full of mess, but the drainage ditches dug temporarily have begun to drain; the stables are peaceful, and the warm lights keep the storm out of the light; walking around, but the room remained dry, and the bright yellow heating lamp illuminated the entire space brightly...

Under the dark night, the faint light seemed to be extinguished at any time, and it was crumbling, but it burst out with a firm force, covering this safe haven and preserving this last piece of paradise.

This is a very wonderful thing, the storm is raging, as if the world is about to be destroyed, but there is unprecedented peace in the heart.

"It's all right, are you all right?" Lu Li returned to the house, looked at Cole in front of him, and asked.

"..." Cole opened his mouth, but before he could open his mouth, Brandon pushed the door open and walked in. His whole body was soaked, as if he had been salvaged from the water, so Cole raised his hand towards Brandon. He raised his chin and signaled, "Is everything okay?"

Brandon nodded in the affirmative. Two pieces of plastic sheeting were removed from the stable, and part of the pasture stored there was soaked.

"Then it's fine." Cole nodded to Lu Li, "Don't worry, it's just a rainstorm. But, is it really okay to have an organic farm?"

"You'll know when you wake up tomorrow morning." Randy wiped the rainwater with a bath towel, "We planted vegetables that are relatively easy to grow this time, and they are just sprouting now. As long as the drainage system is in good condition, there will be no problems." Too big a problem." For organic farms, coping with natural changes is the most basic thing, and Randy certainly considered all possibilities.

After he was busy, Lu Li only noticed the cold at this time. The cold was coming out from the depths of his body, and he couldn't help shivering, "God, I almost forgot, it's only May now."

"Yes, hurry up and take a hot bath." Cole said hastily, "There are two bathrooms here, and we have two over there. Let's take a shower separately. It should be faster, and be careful of catching a cold."

Seeing everyone getting busy quickly, Lu Li quickly shouted, "Come over after everyone has taken a shower. I'll make some ginger soup to drive everyone away from the cold."

"What?" Randy was the first to show a surprised expression.

Lu Li thought for a while, "Go take a shower first, and explain after you get here."

Here in the United States, even drinking hot water is extremely rare. How could there be such a thing as ginger soup?Moreover, Lu Li wasn't sure if they liked ginger soup, anyway, he tasted ginger tea once in New York, and the taste was too ecstasy to make people like it.

"It's not something delicious, it's just to keep out the cold." Lu Li explained, but they didn't listen at all, and rushed out, including Fred.

Lu Li wanted to call Fred to stop him, but before he had time, he had already left the house.Lu Li stepped forward and wanted to open the door to call him back, but the back door was pushed open. Fred smiled awkwardly, "Hey, my room is here."

"I thought you were going to lie down in the sheepfold." Lu Li complained.

Back in the upstairs bathroom, Lu Li quickly took a shower, and then went downstairs to the kitchen.First, I boiled a large pot of boiling water. While waiting for the water to boil, I turned out the few remaining gingers at home, and then began to peel them.

To be honest, Lu Li had never cooked ginger soup before. Song Lingyi used to make it at home, but he couldn't cook in his apartment in New York, so he never had the opportunity to really cook by himself.After peeling the skin, he remembered it, turned on his phone to search, and made sure that the method in his memory was correct, so he felt relieved.

When Fred opened the bathroom door after taking a bath, he could smell a faint water vapor in the air, mixed with a strange smell, and a hint of warmth lingered in it; the windows were covered with mist, and the torrential rain outside had gradually After a while, the storm has passed, and only the sound of drizzle can be heard; the orange light illuminates the whole room very brightly, and the busy sound from the kitchen can be vaguely heard.The peaceful tranquility is relaxing.

Fred stopped involuntarily. He couldn't remember the last time he felt the peace in his heart.

He still remembers that he chose to major in music, not because the major has great prospects, nor because he can become a star, but simply because he likes music—he is not even a singer major, but a music industry major.He likes to rearrange the music in his own way, he likes to interpret the melody with his own understanding, and he likes to listen to the emotions hidden in every piece of music.

But gradually, all of this was forgotten in the back of his mind. The pressure of life turned the dream into a joke, and with it, there was vitality, freedom and vitality. He lived like a walking dead. , but no longer alive.

But today, he traveled long distances first, then rode horses, and then worked in the rainstorm. The workload was even greater than that in the Olive Garden. Now he could feel sore all over his body, as if he had been beaten by fifteen people. However, he didn't feel tired at all, he just wanted to sit on the sofa in the hall, listen to the sound of rain outside the window, chat with Cole, Lu Li and others, and wait quietly for the night to get darker until Reluctantly go to bed/rest.

"Fourteen?" Fred raised his voice, and Lu Li's voice echoed from downstairs, "Did you fall into the toilet?"

This made Fred couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I will mop the bathroom floor." He also joked, "Are you making ginger soup now?"

"Yes." Lu Li shouted loudly.

"But why does it smell so strange? I have an ominous premonition." Fred leaned his upper body, looked downstairs, and yelled complainingly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Fred didn't wait for any response, he was stunned, and raised his voice, "Fourteen?"

"If you don't want to drink, go back to sleep." Lu Li replied angrily.

Fred couldn't help laughing, "I can't say that, I'm just offering a little opinion..."

"If you're not going to help, then it's best to keep your opinion to yourself." Lu Li replied angrily, which made Fred chuckle softly.

"Thank you." Fred said in a muffled voice. He didn't remember whether he had formally thanked Lu Li, but he knew that he owed Lu Li a thank you.

"What?" Fred's words were a bit vague, Lu Li only heard some vague sounds, so he raised his voice to ask.

"It's all right," Fred called out, "I was just asking, is there any supper tonight?"

Supper... Lu Li felt tight in his chest. Didn't their stomachs get full from eating tonight?Are you hungry again now?
"Supper? Who said it's supper?" Randy's noisy voice sounded in the hall, "I'm just hungry too, so I have supper tonight, that's really great."

"What supper? Buns? Or fritters?" Cole's voice sounded immediately, and then Brandon's dull voice came over to join in the fun, "I think buns are pretty good."

Lu Li stopped the busy movements in his hands, and looked at the several people who appeared in front of him speechlessly. Fred also came down from the stairs, "Buns? What is a bun?"

Randy answered there, while Cole opened the refrigerator and checked it, "Fourteen, there are less than ten buns left, when can I make more buns, what about breakfast tomorrow? Do you want to vomit again?" Are you in charge?"

Lu Li looked sad, when did he become a cook?If I remember correctly, didn't he come to run the ranch?How did things develop to this point?

"Fourteen, what exactly is supper?" Cole stood at the door of the kitchen, holding a plum in his hand, and asked while biting.

Lu Li sighed softly, "Noodles, do you eat noodles?"

"Noodles? Or spaghetti?" Cole's eyes suddenly brightened, shining brightly.

"Noodles are the noodles you eat in Chinese restaurants." Lu Li said, the last time Liu Xiaoyan went to the factory, made a batch of hand-made noodles, and sent some over.Noodles are nothing new, but Americans don't like soup, so they don't have much enthusiasm for soup noodles. As for the variety of noodles in SX, it is even more difficult for Americans to enjoy.

However, as a supper, put beef bone soup under it, then put some vegetables, and beef, which is simple, quick and delicious.

"If you don't like it, then bake some toast." Lu Li gave another option, "As for the buns, let's see when you are free tomorrow. Come and help me, I will be in charge of rolling the noodles, and you will be in charge of wrapping them." ,The more the merrier."

"Noodles. That's noodles!" Cole immediately made a decision and couldn't wait to announce the answer, "Guys, let's eat noodles tonight!"

Lu Li looked at Cole speechlessly, "You're eating Chinese food twice a day, are you sure it's okay?" Don't they all say that Texans are xenophobic?Isn't it said that Texans refuse to accept foreign food?Doesn't it mean that even Mexican food has no outlet here?Who said these rumors!
"There is meat and salt. I don't think there is any problem." Cole shrugged and said very frankly, as if it was a matter of course.

Even Brandon nodded in agreement, "I think that's fine."

Lu Li, "..." took a deep breath, "Where are Jessica and Vivian?"

"The ladies are still working on it, and their speed is not that fast." Randy's chattering voice echoed in the living room, "We passed by just now, Vivienne was sitting at the table, busy with the design, she Didn't hear anything outside at all, not even when we entered the house. Sure enough, artists are just different. Well, Fred, is it like that when you're crazy?"

"...You are the one who is crazy, and your whole family is crazy." Fred looked sad and indignant.

"Ginger soup is ready!" Lu Li's voice sounded calmly, and everyone looked at the pot... something that looked like dishwater.
