Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 564 Not Happy

After a day's trip, when camping at night, Jimmy and the bodyguards were a little embarrassed, because their three-front mule was the only one in the team, and when it stopped, the two nostrils looked like the heating pipe wells of the previous day Yes, there is steam coming out all the time.

On the other hand, Jian Heng and Wu Yong rode a cow-and-flowered horse and a blue-and-white horse. After stopping for a few minutes, the white gas in their nostrils became normal, and they were still chewing grass slowly beside the campfire. They didn't look like three horses at all. The mule looked like it was dying.

Although I feel a bit ashamed here, Jimmy will not admit it. Even if three mules need to be tied up, and two horses are just unsaddled and scattered casually, Jimmy is not willing to admit his mistake .

He doesn't want to admit his mistakes, he doesn't like Jian Heng too much, he always feels that his son-in-law is laughing at himself unknowingly, or not in an American way, but in a Chinese way to covertly mock him . I have to say that Jimmy is a little dazed now. Of course, Xiao Mo is not the kind who is blind.

  Jimmy sat by the fire, holding the tea mug in both hands, looked at Jian Heng and said, "You brought so many things with you when you came out to hunt!"

At first, I was a little grumpy, but now I saw that Jian Heng brought three or four pots, big and small, and a special coffee pot next to the campfire, which made Jimmy feel that his son-in-law was too stupid High jump - too much. It would be great if he could teach him a few words, but Jian Heng is playing with ease now, which makes Jimmy feel very uncomfortable.

Jimmy's request to go hunting this time is actually to satisfy a little fantasy in his heart for a long time, to take his children to hunt like other fathers, and to give all the skills he knows to his children. The farmer or the rancher comes to represent a part of the heritage, just like his father once carried him.

Jimmy didn't realize what he thought was a normal father-son relationship. That's because Matthew was a rebellious kid. He generally didn't like what Jimmy liked, such as hunting or pitching. Matthew had no interest at all. His interests are all in art, except for this, which is chasing after a beautiful woman, a typical behavior of a prodigal son.

Jian Heng didn't understand, and besides, according to the Chinese custom, it was his turn to be the son-in-law without a son. How could he have thought that the old father-in-law's firm request to come and hunt was for this reason, he thought it was this It's just the old man's hobby.

  In order to make the old man eat well, Jian Heng's side is really ready to do everything. Except that there are no wind-blocking walls around, Jian Heng's side has done everything that can be done.

There are three layers of the hanger, the bottom one is the boiled broth and some big bones and the like, these things are prepared for Pooh, instant noodles and fat sculptures, of course people can also eat, and there are some Jian Heng is going to pack it in a thermos bottle and keep it for drinking at night when everyone is cold.

  The middle layer is the pancakes. These are made at home. They are a bit like the small pancakes we use in Beijing sauce shredded pork. They are thin and soft for rolling things. At the end of the day, these pancakes were cold, and Jian Heng baked them on top of the soup.

The top layer is potatoes and vegetables. The potatoes are not directly whole or divided as Americans often do. Jian Heng has made them into thin slices. can eat.

   This is on the hanger. There are also a few whole potatoes on the four sides of the campfire. These are simmering beside the fire. In addition to these potatoes, there is a fifteen-inch frying pan next to the campfire on a small side. Jian Heng is currently using a frying pan. Fried steak.

There was the sizzling sound of butter meeting the steak, accompanied by an indescribably tempting smell of meat, let alone a human being, even Pooh put his big head over and lay down beside the fire Looking straight at the steak, the corners of his mouth could faintly see glistening saliva.

This is not the first time Jimmy has eaten such a hunting meal, but it is the first time Jimmy has eaten it in this kind of icy and snowy snow, and it is still knee deep. Generally speaking, such a difficult journey, the weight of the team must be At least, even in many cases, it is replaced by military compressed food, because military compressed food has small storage volume, high calorie, and is good for preservation, which is very suitable for use in such extremely difficult conditions.

But now Jimmy looks at his son-in-law, he eats, drinks, and scatter. He directly carries hundreds of pounds of these things, puts them on the back of a cow, and carries them over, and that bison is not like a bison, and the domestic cow is not like a big **** of a domestic cow. The cow seems to be able to use up all its strength. Although it walks slowly, it is unbearable for people on this day's journey. It actually carries more than 200 pounds of things, and it doesn't even breathe white gas from its nostrils.

The deer is also perverted. This thing is even more powerful. Not only does it carry things, but it can also find food on the road. Anyway, as long as it stops at the place where it stops, use its hoof to plan it. Except for hay, it is hay. , many times you can dig out a little green thick-leaf wild vegetables or something.

"That's quite a lot. I heard a buddy of mine who was with him say that he only needs to bring everything up the mountain at any time. Several people who have gone out with him now say that if one day they If you climb the Himalayas, you must take him with you, not to mention other things, you will not worry about eating and drinking along the way." Wu Yong just finished his work at this time, walked back to the fire, and snapped Sit down.

  As soon as he sat down, he pressed the mask covering his nose to his neck, took his hands out of his gloves, and leaned against the fire to roast.

  Jian Heng poured Wu Yong a cup of hot coffee, put it in his hand, and said politely with a smile: "Where is that exaggeration! I just have a good tool here."

What Wu Yong said here was the truth, and he wanted to make his friend embarrassing in front of his father-in-law. How could Jian Heng slip over like this, and immediately cocked his neck, and said directly: "Really, He Ye and the others That's what they all said!"

  How did Wu Yong know that the more capable Jian Heng is, the less fun Jimmy can enjoy in this trip.

   "Okay, okay, how is your tree branch doing?" Jian Heng didn't have the heart to say this, but asked Wu Yong how his work was going.

  Wu Yong stretched out his hand and pointed behind his back: "Here, are there enough branches to make a bed at night?"

Jian Heng turned his head and looked at it, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "These are really not enough. I will accompany you and us to chop some after the meal. You don't understand it. You will know when you spend the night tonight." How important these branches are to you."

It is impossible to sleep on the ground in this weather, even if you have a warm sleeping bag, because the ground is too cold. Once you fall asleep, the cold air from the ground will come in, then congratulations, if you can live until the next day It's a miracle. So in such a temperature, you want to ensure that you can live and live better the next day, and sleep more comfortably, such as tree branches, which are essential. Putting a thick layer under the sleeping bag is a good way to sleep. The most basic guarantee of good sleep.

"It's not enough!" Jimmy found a point to interject at this time: "And the branches you cut are a bit too small. Sleeping in the wild this season, the branches should be cut bigger, so that the sleeping bag can be used when laying on the branches. Put it up, and when you lie down on the big branches, the small branches that grow on them will open up, which can also block you from some horizontal wind! If you choose a camp at this time, don’t go far away from the open place. Choose next to the woods, sleep next to the woods..."

  Wu Yong listened carefully, and after listening to Jimmy’s long talk for about five minutes, he showed admiration, and kept saying, “This is all knowledge!”

  Hearing what Wu Yong said, Jimmy felt a little better, and felt a little respected, so he just drank a cup of coffee just like that.

   Jian Heng saw that Jimmy was about to drink a second cup, so he said, "Don't drink it tonight, I'll bring you some gravy!"

   It’s okay to drink a cup of coffee now, but after drinking two or three cups, won’t you sleep at night? So Jian Heng took the cup from Jimmy and added a spoonful of delicious gravy to him.

  Jian Heng didn't expect his action to spark the little flame that Jimmy was about to extinguish.

   Fortunately, Jimmy is an old fox in politics, he is well-mannered, and he didn't immediately express his dissatisfaction with his son-in-law. But in his heart, Jimmy has already begun to regret, thinking: If I had known this, I would not have proposed to go hunting in the mountains. I didn’t realize it at all when I was an old man. Instead, I was compared with my son-in-law’s ability to survive. In this team Zhong became the most useless person!

   After receiving the broth, Jimmy felt bored, and then from time to time, he looked at the son-in-law next to the campfire with his eyes.

As a father, he used to like to find a rancher or farmer for barley and wheat. He was a man, handsome, with green stubble on his chin and beard, and his voice was firm and loud. The taste is the taste of the farm.

  Jimmy never thought that Barley and Wheat would find an Asian rancher, nor did he think that this rancher didn’t make a living by raising cattle and sheep, nor did he think that his two good cabbages were destroyed in the mouth of a pig.

The most speechless thing is that this little piggy is not very good at politics, he is good at everything else, carrying a hand on his shoulder is no problem, even fighting with his own bodyguard is not an opponent, practicing catching a ball or something, not at all Jimmy who taught by himself and played has no sense of accomplishment at all.

   After finally coming out to hunt, there is nothing wrong with Jimmy now. Jian Heng has almost done everything by himself. You say it is annoying or not!
