Chapter 650: Dark Clouds
The heavy wind and heavy rain outside lasted for more than six hours, and finally gradually became a little lighter. Looking at the sky outside, it was gloomy, as if the night was about to fall. Marcus's clothes are drying. He looked at Zhen Fan and Rachel and said with a smile: "You can't go back for the time being, why don't you stay here, and... I still have some stock here, which can make a rich and delicious dinner.
Zhen Fan looked at the sky, thinking that if he went back like this today, Rachel would definitely catch a cold, but he was not afraid of catching a cold. With him around, Rachel would have no problem. This is such a trip in the rain, which is not a wise behavior. Although the rain was a little lighter, the vision was still not clear.
"Looks like we're going to spend the night here!" Zhen Fan turned to Rachel and said, "What do you think?"
Rachel looked outside, turned her head to look at Zhen Fan and shook her head: "We have traveled too far, and...the weather is like this, well, we will spend the night here tonight. But... Mr. Nelson , I'm going to disturb you!" This sentence was said to Gris after turning around, with some apologetic expressions.
"Don't talk about it, little guy, sometimes I spend the night here, but I feel a bit lonely by myself. There is nothing here, only my set of cooking things. Want to try my handicraft?" Ma Ku Si stood up and found a set of kitchen utensils from a small cabinet in the living room.
There is no electricity here, and chatting with firelight is okay, but it is not enough to prepare dinner. The model also has an oil lamp, which is covered with glass and hung on the top when it is lit. Immediately, the room became brighter. Marcus also took out cured venison in a plastic bag from the cabinet. He carried the venison to the table.
"White butt!"
"What?" Rachel glanced at Marcus reflexively, with a puzzled expression on her face. Zhen Fan also looked over. Marcus was taking out a butcher knife and was cutting venison.
"It means red deer. It is the most common type of deer that runs on the grasslands of Montana. The natives here used to call this kind of deer. It is huge and has good meat quality. I hunt a few of them every day." Then marinate their meat, I also hide some here, seal it in a bag, pump out the air, and it can be stored for about a month."
"Do we need barbecue or..." Zhen Fan walked over and asked, "If it's barbecue, I'm pretty good at it, so... I can help instead of being a person waiting for dinner!"
"Zhen—" After saying this, Rachel felt a little embarrassed, and stepped forward to help. In fact, there was nothing to do, just cut the venison and stick it with a fork. Watching Marcus cut the venison, Rachel inserted the meat and handed the fork to Zhen Fan. Zhen Fan was roasting by the fireplace.
The venison was constantly kissed by the tongue of fire, watching the oil on it squeak and squeak,
The oil is shiny and gradually turns brown. There is no extra seasoning, just the pickled salt and the oil from the venison permeate each other, and then it emits an unusual fragrance.
This scent aroused Rachel and Marcus' taste buds, and both of them couldn't help swallowing. Obviously, Zhen Fan's craftsmanship is really good, which subverts Rachel's cognition. Anyway, when she was in Los Angeles, she had never seen Zhen Fan as a chef, so she didn't expect such a good craftsmanship. If Belinda were here, she wouldn't say that, because she had eaten Zhen Fan's dinner and was very impressed.
"How did you do it?" Marcus asked Zhen Fan while holding up a fork to gnaw on the venison, "It's not easy to cook venison, especially when grilled venison only has salt. Anyway, he After making it so many times, the taste can only be barely swallowed every time, and it can only satisfy the hunger, which is far from tasting delicious.
"I don't know, you all watched me roast just now, I have no secrets, and I don't have any secret recipes, that's it!" Zhen Fan handed Rachel another fork, on which was a large piece of deer. As for the meat, Zhen Fan finally started to enjoy his own piece. It wasn't very big, but it was enough to fill him up.
This is Rachel's second piece. When she was nibbling on it, she squinted at Zhen Fan. Look at Marcus, he's eating the third piece too, and his belly looks bigger. Zhen Fan was ruthless and elegant, but he never stopped talking. To do this, Rachel asked herself a little difficult.
After eating, Rachel tidied up, and then Marcus put away the things again, and smiled at Zhen Fan and Rachel: "You are really a gift from God, I thought it was another lonely night, but Unexpectedly, you came and let me enjoy a delicious meal that I have never enjoyed before. I really don’t know what to do if I become addicted.”
"We may meet again here, unless you want to drive me away!" Zhen Fan smiled, "We can fish here, you know... not only is my roasted venison very good, but so is grilled fish."
"That's great, I was thinking just now, in order to repay you for the roast venison, I plan to sell this lake to you, it seems that my plan has to be revised!" Marcus laughed, It seems very proud.
Zhen Fan was immediately embarrassed. He looked at Marcus and said, "You don't mean it, do you? In fact... I don't want to take people's favors. If you don't sell them, just allow me to come and play. That's fine. Of course... If you want to sell it to me, I welcome it at any time!"
"That's not cheap!"
"As long as money can buy it, it's cheap!" Zhen Fan smiled, "But venison like you can't be bought with money, Marcus... I think I can treat you as Friends!"
"Because you ate my venison?" Marcus just laughed, "I like you, boy, you're probably rich—oh shit, every Chinese guy who shows up here seems to be rich , but you are the one among the rich that I like more, well, I will consider buying the lake!"
"Thank you!" Zhen Fan nodded, and then the three of them chatted about some things about the ranch, the lake, and fishing. In short, the conversation was pretty good, and Zhen Fan was able to put in a sentence or two. , the main reason is that Marcus's conversation is very good, the old man has been lonely here for too long!
Until the night was very deep, the rain had lightened by this time, Rachel was a little bit unbearable and wanted to sleep, the only room was reserved for her, fortunately, the bedding was clean, and she slept with her clothes on , Go back tomorrow and make up for it, and it will be fine. And Zhen Fan and Marcus were sleeping on chairs by the fireplace.
Early the next morning, when Rachel opened her eyes, she walked into the living room and saw that the fire in the fireplace was still a little hot, but the two men were gone. She straightened her clothes in surprise, and then looked outside , I only saw people, old and young, fishing by the lake.
"Zhen, we are going home, we didn't call Jack last night!" Rachel walked over and said to Zhen Fan. But Marcus made a silent gesture to Rachel.
Rachel shrugged her shoulders and could only look at Zhen Fan. Zhen Fan whispered: "We are adding food for breakfast. If you keep talking, all the fish will run away." As soon as the words fell, he felt a fish biting the hook. When he mentioned it suddenly, a huge water pattern He turned over in the water, causing Marcus beside him to yell.
"It's a big fish, definitely over fifty pounds!"
It was indeed more than 50 pounds. The fishing rod was very resilient, but the strength of the fish was not small. In the water, he was in a stalemate with Zhen Fan. Finally, when he was dragged to the shore, Marcus ignored the cold, He jumped down and hugged the fish, and finally Zhen Fan also jumped into the water and dragged the fish together.
It was about half the height of a human being, probably four or five feet tall, a very fat and very large mountain trout. Marcus went ashore with the fish in his arms. He couldn't close his mouth with a smile. He tried to lift the fish up to Zhen Fan, but the fish struggled and dared not lift it too high: "I've never seen such a Big mountain trout, you're in luck!"
"It's our luck, because it will soon be grilled. The delicious fish in the city, I guarantee, the taste must be much more delicious than venison." The two people took this fish, and they didn't think about fishing anymore. Carrying the fish, she walked towards the wooden house, and asked Rachel to take a few photos with her mobile phone, including the photo of Marcus holding the fish alone.
Zhen Fan packed the fish, Rachel packed the fishing tackle for the two of them, and Marcus salted the fish. The three of them divided the work. Soon, a fire was lit in the fireplace again, and the three of them sat around the fireplace again. After eating the barbecue, Marcus suddenly let out a cry, and then raised a hand.
"I remember, I hid a bottle of good wine here, God, I didn't remember it last night!" Marcus stood up with a look of remorse, and went to the cabinet beside the living room to grope for a long time , and finally found a bottle of absinthe, which used to be old Jack's favorite!
"Old Jack likes this kind of wine very much!" Marcus raised the wine in his hand, then laughed, "It's a pity that he is not here today, otherwise, I can buy him and two glasses!" Looking at Rachel, "Do you need a drink?"
"Need!" Rachel looked at Zhen Fan staring at her in disbelief, her stubborn temper came, and she immediately said, "I used to drink this kind of wine, but my father didn't let me drink more, I can drink it Hard liquor!" Rachel revealed that she was not afraid of drinking.
But in fact, after she drank the first glass, she became a little dazed and felt a little dizzy. Zhen Fan shook his head and smiled, raised his glass and toasted Marcus. Zhen Fan, who knows how to fish, barbecue, is polite, and speaks kindly, definitely left a very good impression on Marcus.
After having breakfast and feeding the two horses with fodder, Zhen Fan said goodbye to Marcus. At this time, the weather became more and more gloomy, as if it was even more gloomy than yesterday, so when they went out, Marcus had a look on his face. Worried look.
When Zhen Fan and Rachel got on their horses, Marcus patted their horse's buttocks, felt the horses, and waved to Zhen Fan and said loudly: "Hurry up and go back before the rain falls today. !"
"Goodbye, Marcus, thank you very much for your hospitality!" Zhen Fan waved his hand, and then rode his horse and Rachel hurried towards the house. Marcus looked at the sky with a worried look on his face.
At this time, the TV at Old Jack's house was on, and the real-time weather forecast was being broadcast on the TV.
Near the small town of Lecce, Montana, a huge thick cloud cover has appeared, and a tornado storm is very likely. Old Jack's door was open, and the house was empty. He drove the car towards the direction where Zhen Fan and Rachel left, and galloped without hesitation! RS
