Yunding Ranch

Chapter 53 Cowboy Recommendation
Do you want tofu to eat salty or sweet?Should Zongzi be eaten salty or sweet?Should porridge be salty or sweet?

The dispute over sweet and salty food is now intensifying. Lu Li is a southerner through and through, but he has no strict regional distinctions. Apart from the dumbfounding when he saw the salty bean curd for the first time, he actually has no special preference for sweet and salty. Picky, such as zongzi, white glutinous rice dumplings sticky white sugar is so delicious, but meat zongzi is a rare delicacy, but he is incapable of accepting zongzi including red dates; similarly, white rice porridge and preserved egg porridge with lean meat It's a good choice when you have a low appetite.

Lu Li felt that whether it was sweet or salty, it was fine to suit his own taste. The eating habits of the south and the north were slightly different, but now each family's diet is learning from each other's strengths and learning from each other. The difference is not as obvious as before.However, Lu Li felt that today was a good opportunity to test it.

fritters.

Lu Li once lived in Xi'an for a short period of time. People there like to serve fried dough sticks with Hu hot soup for breakfast. The feeling of satiety really makes people's lips and teeth fragrant; but some people prefer to eat fried dough sticks with sweet soy milk. Even the peanut soup, all kinds of flavors make people linger.

But, what about the people in Texas who don't know?
Due to the limited conditions here, Lu Li can only use milk and soy sauce to represent the sweet and salty tastes, "Personally, the fried dough sticks are delicious if eaten alone. Just eat it, or eat it with buns, the taste is also very unique.”

After Lu Li finished speaking, the four people in front of him didn't move, especially Ronald, who looked at Lu Li with wide eyes like an old child, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "But?"

"But..." Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "But if you want to try something new, you can choose sauces. The condiments here are limited today, so I just chose the two simplest ones. First, soy sauce..."

Before Lu Li could continue to explain, Jessica rushed to answer, "It's like eating sushi, isn't it?" Americans have always had a kind of obsession with sushi. The RB restaurant in New York is almost either sushi or udon, which is hard to see. other kinds.

"Yes, it's like sushi." Lu Li nodded in affirmation, and Jessica showed a satisfied expression, "You can dip some soy sauce with fried dough sticks, remember, not too much, otherwise the fried dough sticks will become soft and the taste will be lost It's going to be a little weird."

"What about white sugar? Is it also used for dipping?" Cole was already eager to try it, and Lily next to him also said, "I like sugar. I always put four or five cubes of sugar in my coffee, and I prefer mino for hot dogs." Nourish."

"Haha." Lu Li couldn't help being amused. Dip the fritters directly in sugar?This is a new way of eating, just like rice cakes?Or swap white sugar for honey?The sourness is unimaginable, "No, another way is to mix fried dough sticks with milk. You can add sugar to the milk to refine the taste a little. Of course, if you want to dip sugar directly, I personally don't recommend it, but it's also No objection."

"I'll try it first!" Ronald couldn't wait to reach out and grab a fried dough stick. Before Lu Li's voice could stop him, "Be careful!" Ronald gasped in pain, but he didn't want to. Letting go, he put the fritters on the plate in front of him in a daze, then picked up the knife and fork, as if he was about to eat steak.

"Chopsticks, it's best to use chopsticks." Eating fritters with a knife and fork?Think about such a picture, it is really too beautiful to dare to look at it.

Ronald picked up the chopsticks with some awkwardness. Although there are more and more Chinese restaurants now, and the American people have made no secret of their love for Chinese food, objectively speaking, chopsticks are still a big problem for them.

Watching Ronald tremblingly holding the fried dough sticks with chopsticks, then tremblingly dipping them in soy sauce, and finally putting them into his mouth tremblingly, he took a big bite, the crispy golden fried dough sticks It was torn off immediately, and the soft and firm texture inside was pulled out like cheese, and the aroma was overflowing, not to mention Lily, Jessica and Cole, even Lu Li couldn't help swallowing it. saliva.

"Hmm..." Facing everyone's attention, Ronald raised his right hand, signaling everyone to wait a while, he was chewing, "Hmm..." He groaned again, as if he was Savoring every little detail of the gluten carefully, the expert-like posture was focused and intoxicated, making Lily want to ask, but Ronald shook his head again and continued to express that seductive taste Voice, "Hmmm..."

Finally, the first bite was swallowed, and just when everyone thought Ronald would say something, they didn't want Ronald to put the headline into his mouth again, bit the second bite fiercely, and tasted it voraciously. .

Needless to say, this was the best feedback, so Lily, Jessica and Cole immediately started eating without falling behind.

Lu Li also picked up a deep-fried dough stick, tasted the original one first, and nodded slightly. In fact, the dough can be kneaded a little more, but it is still not strong enough, and he still didn't control the heat very well. It feels like the whole thing is fried. A little overdone, slightly burnt, but overall, satisfying.The long-lost taste is really missed.

Lu Li deeply felt that since he came to the ranch, his happiness index in life has skyrocketed.These days are getting more and more comfortable.

Interestingly, Lily likes milk, as she said, she likes sweets; while the other three people prefer to dip in soy sauce, and Ronald has a very strong taste, he dipped a small dish of soy sauce in two dips, and later He simply went to the kitchen and brought the whole bottle of soy sauce. Lu Li had to remind Ronald to be careful of high cholesterol; and too salty food is not good for high blood pressure, so Ronald restrained himself a little.

After a breakfast, the fritters were emptied, but the steamed stuffed bun was only half eaten.It's not because of the freshness of fried dough sticks, but because Americans always lack resistance to fried food. Just look at McDonald's and KFC, and fried dough sticks are obviously very suitable for their taste.

"God, Fourteen, our family will make a special trip to come over to eat at your place in the future." Lily looked at Ronald with a glossy mouth, and couldn't help laughing and teasing.

Lu Li also showed a satisfied expression, "Haha, this is not a free breakfast, there are still many things to trouble you today." Such teasing also succeeded in making everyone laugh.

"By the way, Fourteen, you still need to apply for two cowboys here, right?" Lily remembered this incident. Although she and Ronald could come and help, it would definitely not work in the long run, and both of them were Old bones, Yundian Ranch is just on the right track now, all the work is relatively cumbersome, and young and middle-aged labor is still needed, "I recommend two guys to you, Brandon Scott, and Randy John Mori."

"Oh? I also want to talk about Brandon." Jessica showed a surprised expression, smiled at Lily, and then looked at Lu Li, "I just heard about Brandon last night. Guy quit this year's Cowboys convention and was going to get a job early."

"Jasming is pregnant." Lily added, "Jasming is Brandon's wife. The two have been married for almost six years and have never had a child." The latter sentence was an explanation to Lu Li.

"This Brandon, he is very good?" Lu Li showed a look of great interest. Now the top priority of Yundian Ranch is not to buy equipment, nor to plant grapes, but to hire cowboys. Otherwise, other work will not be possible. Today, the cows Need to milk, this is the most troublesome thing.

"It's more than outstanding." Ronald said in a low voice. After a full meal, he leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, and tinkered with his pipe, with an expression of indescribable satisfaction. The best batch of cowboys, at least in the top three. This year is only 33 years old, in his prime, and his father Dick is an excellent cowboy."

Lu Li's eyes widened, he was quite surprised, but he still couldn't believe it, "But such an outstanding cowboy, why doesn't he have an employment contract?" The Yundian Ranch was a bit awkward at the beginning, and it was not up to date, so the outstanding cowboy who is now idle at home It is bound to not be too much.

"The economic situation is too bad." Ronald shrugged. "Two more pastures in the north of the town have been acquired by large groups. They want to realize the full industrialization of breeding cows and form an industrial chain. Next, there will be another batch of excellent cowboys." I'm about to lose my job. This is why Brandon wants to come out early to find a job, otherwise there will be two months before the Cowboys Conference."

Lu Li's eyes fell on Cole, and after getting an affirmative answer from Cole's nod, Lu Li became convinced and nodded to express his understanding, "Then what about the other one? Randy?"

"Randy is a young guy, probably about the same age as you." Lily explained, asking her husband for evidence, "Randy is 24 or 25 this year?"

"Twenty-four," Ronald said.

"Yes, 24." Lily nodded, "He learned all his kung fu from his father, and he has a little lack of experience, but he is a young man, and he knows more about industrial things, and he is also better than you and Cole. There is a common language, I think he will be able to help a lot when he comes here. However, he is still too young, you can think about it, there are quite a lot of good jeans in the market now."

Lu Li chuckled, "No, it's just him. It's much more reliable to have an acquaintance's recommendation than to choose randomly. To be honest, in my eyes, all cowboys are the same, because you know how to do it. I don't know all of them." This made everyone laugh. "So these two cowboys, where can I find them?"

"Go to the Sunset Bar in the town. Old Charlie should have all their information. Buy a beer there, and Old Charlie will give you all the information." Lily's words opened Lu Li's eyes. It seems that Sunset The bar should be the intermediary or employment agency here.

"You can hire them as soon as possible and get the ranch up and running as soon as possible." Ronald said sincerely, "Now, we need to go to work first. I just read that the cows must be milked once this morning, otherwise it will affect the their health."

"Milking?" Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, "Can I try it?"
