The first thousand one hundred and sixty-six chapters fish and shrimp are abundant in Oram Lake
Oram Lake, the water is sparkling, a few water birds pass by, catching small fish to fill their bellies, the lake is surrounded by wooden bridges, small pavilions, resting, or fishing.
Not many tourists come here. After all, although this kind of scenery is good, you can see it all around, especially those from China. You can ride horses, watch cowboy performances, animal concerts, taste delicious food on the train, and watch flower galleries.
The squirrel procession ceremony and many other things like this are more popular among tourists, but there are also some tourists who are tired from playing, or who come from the surrounding area for leisure fishing, horseback riding, or walking.
There are not many tourists, only individual travelers in twos and threes, and the team rarely comes over. "Hey, Han." "Nien, it's nice to see you. How are you?" It's Li Han's old neighbor who has now moved to Buton.
Living in a small town.
"It's not bad, man, it's really nice here. I like Lake Oram now." Nien looked at the net in Han's hand. "No, Han, maybe you should sit down and learn to fish."
"No, Nien, I just want to catch crabs, fish and shrimps and have a barbecue at noon. If you have time, I will treat you to a drink at noon." Li Han said as he lowered the fishing net into the water, placed the bait, and clapped his hands.
"Barbecue, of course, it's such a nice weather, not having a drink is not what a Cowboy should do." Nien said with a smile, picking up a bottle of whiskey on the side and showing it to Li Han.
"Okay, Nien, it's time for me to go. I'll buy you a drink at noon." With that, Li Han got up and went to the vineyard on the hillside.
After walking along the path for about ten minutes, we came to the orchard. From a distance, we could hear the cheers and laughter of several little people, and the surprised shouts of Georgina and others.
"It's amazing."
"Yes, look, the grape skin is so thick. The taste is really sour, but the meat is really good and full of sweetness."
"The most amazing thing. The grape seeds here are actually bunched together. It's really big." Mira said. Li Han smiled. "Oh, Han, come here, I can't believe it. Look at these grapes."
"Oh, not bad, quite big."
Li Han said. He held a grape, which was like a small ping-pong ball, and stuffed it into his mouth. The grape skin was very thick and full of sour taste, with the sour taste of wine grapes, but when bitten into it, it tasted sweet.
"Wine and Grape."
Li Han shook his head slightly. Although the combination is good, it is impossible to make a good wine. Of course, unless you spend some effort to separate the pulp and peel, this is more difficult.
"Han. Why, shake your head, difficulty, this still doesn't satisfy you, God doesn't like greedy people." Georgina said, while eating a grape. "It tastes really great."
“Unfortunately, it’s difficult to make top-notch wines.”
Li Han said calmly.
"Oh, Han, you are too greedy. I think many people in Napa Valley don't think so." Mira said. "The skin of this grape is very thick. The wine taste will not be bad, and it is enough to make good quality red wine.
Moreover, this kind of grape is big, which is nothing. At that time, the bunches were long, about one foot, and the quantity was large, so the yield was definitely high. I didn’t see it, and it was enough for a few little people to hold it.
"Maybe, the basket is too small."
Li Han picked two bunches, which were too big. Four or five bunches would be enough to fill a basket. I have to say that this fifty-kilogram basket is too small to hold such large grapes.
"That's right, Han, I think you should bring more baskets here, and of course there should be more people." Originally, Georgina and others thought that the area was not enough, and one day of picking would be enough.
Looking at it now, it may not be possible to finish picking in two days. "Yes, Han, there are really too many here." Mira rubbed her wrist, damn, these grapes are too big and heavy.
"Dina, give Jim a call. I hope there's someone available right now."
Originally, Li Han called for people to come over, but considering the construction of a patrol team, there was a shortage of manpower. If there is a cattle farm, the cattle must have enough people to avoid being attacked by wolves.
Dinah called, but luckily there were still people in the cattle farm, and they sent two Chinese cowboys over. Both of them were new faces, and it was the first time Li Han met. The new ones were learning cowboy skills, knowledge, and practicing riding skills.
We still have to wait a while before we can follow the cowboys to graze.
"This is Han, the boss of Hank Farm."
Dinah introduced that Dinah knew the two of them, and sometimes Dinah was responsible for teaching riding. "Chinese?"
"Yes, sir."
The two of them bent down slightly, nodded, and spoke in somewhat stiff English.
"I need to practice more English. Let's speak Chinese today."
Li Han said.
"Where is your hometown?"
"Wannanchi City."
"Oh, you're coming to the United States to study?"
Li Han knew that many people would work for a while before studying abroad. "No, our brothers will work."
"Work?"
Li Han paused for a moment and then understood. "Has the green card been issued?" "Yes, it just came out this year." "Congratulations." Li Han said. You must know that getting a green card when you come to the United States illegally is definitely something worth celebrating.
thing.
Chang Le and Chang Feng are both quite tall. They are in their mid-twenties, two years older than Li Han. They have been in the United States for several years and have sent some money back home. The two brothers originally planned to work for a few more years.
I returned to my country in 2018. Who would have thought that I would be able to apply for a green card and live a good life.
The brothers discussed that raising horses in China is quite profitable. There are many such things here in the United States and the requirements are not high. The two brothers decided to learn to ride horses and raise horses. It happened that they came to Hank Farm.
When they came to the vineyard, the two brothers' eyes widened. "What is this thing?" "Grapes, today our task is to pick grapes." Li Han said with a smile.
The two brothers nodded blankly. This was the first time they had seen such big grapes. "Uncle, help Dudu move over." Dudu picked the grapes and put them in the basket. They couldn't move them.
Little Heihei came over to help and couldn't lift it, so the little man had to call his two big uncles. "Okay." Chang Le hurried over and was startled when he saw the little black bear carrying the basket. "Bear, bear
.”
"Uncle, little Heihei is the most well-behaved and doesn't bite."
Dudu touched Xiao Heihei, and Xiao Heihei rubbed Dudu's hand, and growled at Chang Le. "It's okay, this is Dudu's pet." Picking wine grapes, this work started with a few villains, but also
It was a joy to do it, but within two hours, even a little person couldn't do it.
"take a break."
Li Han was helpless. The wine grapes were too big and it was very tiring for two little people to work together to pick them. "Han, I want to call Bella. Bella has a big team and may be interested in wine grapes."
"That's not a bad idea."
The quality of wine grapes and wine is not too high, and there are too many to eat at home. Li Han took out the phone and called Bella and described the wine grapes. Sure enough, Bella nodded without thinking.
Nowadays, there are not many grapes to pick. Bella can imagine that the tourists will be very happy with the special wine and food grapes. "Chang Le, Chang Feng, let's move these grapes down the mountain and keep them here."
"Dudu, baby, let's collect the fishing nets and grill the fish."
As soon as Li Han said this, the little guys cheered, and one by one they threw their grape-picking tools into the basket and ran over. They were all very tired from picking big grapes. Several little guys had sore wrists and rubbed their little hands.
"Han, so fast."
Nien said with a smile.
"Yeah, not bad."
There are quite a few fish in the Nien bucket.
Dudu, Baobao, Maria and other little people came around. "Wow, there are so many fish."
"Grandpa, you are so awesome."
Dudu had a look of admiration on his face, which made Nien very proud.
"What a cute little angel."
"Dad, net net."
"Almost forgot."
Li Han went over and pulled up the fishing net. As soon as it moved, there was a splashing sound in the water. "There are fish, there are fish." Several little people all ran over from the bucket and surrounded Li Han.
"There are really fish."
Georgina and others also came over, and even Nien put down his fishing rod and walked over.
"Dad, hurry up."
Dudu pulled Li Han's pants, full of worry.
"Uncle, the fish is going to run away." Bao Bao pulled the other side, Maria, Gina and others shouted to uncle, hurry up and pull the fish.
Li Han smiled. "Haha, if you come in, you can't run away. You have to retreat."
Several little people hurriedly ran behind. "There are a lot of fish here." The water splash became bigger and bigger. The little people were excited and their faces were red. They clapped their hands and stood on tiptoe to watch.
Li Han pulled the fishing net and estimated that there were a lot of fish and shrimps in it, at least dozens of kilograms. "Wow, there are so many shrimps."
Pulling a piece of net, there were many finger-long prawns, and a few little people hurriedly ran over, squatted down to pick the shrimps, and the big shrimps were jumping around. "Baby sister, hurry up and eat them on skewers."
"Dudu, he ran to the side of the hillside. After a while, he ran back with a lot of long grass roots in his hand.
"Um."
The baby whispered and covered the jumping shrimps, and skewered them one by one with small grass roots. The skewers looked pretty good, so Georgina and the others saw them and came over to help.
There are a lot of shrimps in a cage, which is a bit unexpected. There are not too many fish, but two big grass carps are enough for grilling fish. "One skewer, two skewers... twenty skewers." Dudu clapped his little hands, and he had all of them.
Twenty strings.
There were twenty or thirty shrimps in a bunch. In total, they were nearly six hundred, or twenty kilograms less. "That's a lot." Li Han didn't expect it.
Nien, looked surprised, there are so many shrimps. You must know that although Americans don’t eat Asian carp, Americans like shrimps very much, and the price is not cheap. Oram has such a large area, I don’t know how many shrimps there are, and I have made a fortune.
Ah, Ni En added up, what a windfall, he couldn't help but look at Li Han, he was so lucky.
"That's right, Georgina can help me take care of the children, and Dinah can give me a hand, okay?" Li Han came over and said after he packed up the fishing nets, washed them and put them aside to dry, washed his hands.
"no problem."
Dinah helped, and Li Han organized and set up the oven, and lit the charcoal fire. There were several oven stations near Oram Lake, but they were rarely used.
“Grilled shrimp skewers.”
Dudu's little guys came over in groups carrying skewered shrimps. "Dad, Dudu will bake them first." "Okay, you guys grill them first, and dad will pickle the fish."
