Chapter 41: The Surprise of the Party (Part I)
Joanna and Ciel go to Augusta Town to buy ingredients, and Han Xuan asks them to help find out if there is a store that sells chinchilla staple food.
Sa Jiao called Old John, and spent the morning building a nest for the chinchillas on the grass at the door, right next to the villa, with a platform that was about to extend out, just enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
After lunch, Han Qianshan took his son and Cecilia's mother and daughter around the Snow Mountain Ranch, which made them feel very new to stay in New York.
Herds of various breeds, as well as merino sheep, Duber sheep, and wool-like Romney sheep, are scattered throughout the pastures. Cecilia sighed again and again, regretting that she had not brought her painting tools, otherwise she would have been able to record this beautiful landscape.
The witty Han Xuan actually took the camera, which made Cecilia's laughter not stop all the way, Anya was a little jealous, her mother had never done this to her.
Cute black-nosed sheep, tranquil Lake Rota, snow-capped mountains, woods, green spaces, sunsets, bears.
"Huh? Bear? Anya said, pointing to the distance in the woods.
Han Xuan looked out of the car window and said, "Pooh is here?" I just ate it yesterday, this guy. ”
The brown bear seemed to have spotted them, and ran towards them with a lot of fat, and it was so fast that it didn't match its body at all, and it was still whining in its mouth, as if it was happy.
Cecilia was startled and turned her head to look at Han Qianshan, but she didn't expect him to actually stop the car and wait for the arrival of that terrifying figure.
"Lady Cecilia, it's alright, it knows us." Han Xuan reminded in a low voice that the Kodiak brown bear can reach a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, and its endurance is very good, and it is already close to the car in the blink of an eye.
Cecilia's expression became even more uneasy when she saw it coming, and she turned her head to see her daughter clapping heartlessly, and smiled helplessly.
Pooh came to the car, and tried to put his head out to his master, but his face was too big and almost stuck, and he shrank back.
Sitting on the ground, his eyes can be parallel to the car window, patting his stomach, revealing a proud expression. Han Xuan opened the door and got out of the car, and Anya followed, her mother was not at ease and stood by and watched them.
The brown bear's dark golden hair shone in the sun, especially the small handful of hair on the lower part of the neck, which really seemed to be made of gold, and when he saw Han Xuan coming over, Pooh stood up and leaned his head over.
Han Xuan smiled and rubbed Pooh's head, the big head couldn't be held with both hands, this is still an adult bear, the heaviest Kodiak brown bear in the world, weighing 1134 kilograms.
Anya stood behind Han Xuan, her face full of emotion, but she didn't dare to get too close to it, this was not those chinchillas in the morning, Han Xuan saw this, went up and took her hand, and slowly approached the brown bear.
Pooh sat crouching, two bear paws hanging from his abdomen, and the stupid look crushed the last trace of worry in the girl's heart, and he lifted his toes and reached out to stroke its head.
After playing with it for a while, Han Xuan gestured with his hand as he spoke: "We didn't bring anything to eat today." ”
Pooh looked at the car behind him, sniffed his nose, and his expression suddenly collapsed.
The furry ears drooped down, and he turned his back to his master, looking so sad.
"But ......"
The brown bear immediately pricked up one ear, and found that Han Xuan hadn't said anything for a long time, turned around, and looked at him with watery eyes.
Anya immediately covered her stomach and laughed, Han Xuan grinned and continued to say to Vinnie: "Come with me, there is food over there." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the east and touched his stomach.
The brown bear's expression immediately came to life, lying on the ground and preparing to go over there, Han Xuan's heart moved, and he smiled evilly and grabbed its little tail......
The Hummer drove slowly on the side of the road.
There was a brown bear trotting in front of it, and every time it wanted to speed up, it would be slowed down again by Han Xuan patting his head on the back.
Nearby cattle and sheep instinctively retreat, but one creature is excluded.
The alpacas poked their heads out and quietly followed up to take a closer look, Han Xuan knew them, they were the boss's boss, referred to as the boss.
But what's that guy down there?
An alpaca spits and tries to test it, and just lands next to the brown bear.
Pooh stopped and turned around, and opened his mouth to roar, which frightened the alpacas, and hundreds of them turned in unison, ran wildly, and hid behind the small hill.
Labrador Pudding stood by and watched.
With the eyes of its grazing for nearly ten years, it is the first time to see such a guy who can calm the field, and I can't help but learn the cry of the brown bear, and the cry is non-stop.
Han Xuan gently grabbed Pooh's long hair, its back was wide, and it deliberately stabilized its body, jolting rhythmically as it moved.
Anya had melancholy in her purple pupils, and her delicate little face was on the window, just looking at them, seeing Han Xuanwang coming, she waved her hand weakly, and her mother did not agree to let her sit on it.
It was a short journey, only ten minutes to get back to the villa, the barbecue grill was set up on the grass, and the cowboys didn't like to party in the new house, which made them feel inhibited.
After Old Barton learned about this, he suggested to Han Qianshan that, as usual, barbecue smoke and beer were the most desirable ways for cowboys to party.
Every birthday has this unusual and extraordinary significance for the Chinese people, the whole ten represents the fulfillment, and the birthday is not only a celebration of the continuation and prosperity of life, but also a gratitude to parents for giving life.
In the morning, four SOS trucks brought in the ingredients and utensils needed for the night, and employees from several nearby ranches also came, so there was a lot of need.
Desserts and cookies are made by Seattle's best pastry chefs and delivered overnight in refrigerated trucks.
Last year, Canada banned fishing in Newfoundland's fishing grounds, but the nearby waters are still very rich, with squid, hairtail, saury and other barbecued species piled up on plates.
But there was only one horse and cow, but the Angus beef was full, and more than twenty sheep were skewered on the fire, and as the night approached, they were already roasted.
Aunt Kelly arranged for other women to cut the beef into small pieces and wait for it to be used for barbecue, and even Han Xuan's mother personally went into battle and placed the pastries. Martinez and Anderson, as well as Jones, a former employee at the Augog Ranch, are sneaking around and don't know what they're up to.
Hearing the sound of the car, the people who looked at Pooh stopped what they were doing, and Aunt Kelly almost cut her finger and looked at it with a long mouth.
When the brown bear saw so many people, he didn't panic, he walked around carrying Han Xuan, and when Kelly didn't pay attention, he came to the long table, stretched out his tongue and quietly rolled away a piece of meat.
With no hunting experience and no salmon in the river, it was a real hunger to eat the roots and wild fruits for months.
He climbed down Pooh's back, saw the incomprehensible appearance, reached out and grabbed its ears and dragged it to the side.
Fortunately, Pooh weighed 800 kilograms, and he took a big bite without leaving, so he took the meat in his mouth, followed the master and left, squatting on the grass alone, slowing down and chewing, with a pitiful expression on his face.
Fat Ding came to the chinchilla's den, wagging his tail, and the cat saw the mouse and didn't know what to think.
Seeing that Mickey and Minnie were about to kick their legs in fright, Han Xuan couldn't help but hug Fat Ding and walked to his father, today they are in charge of welcoming guests.
Seven or eight cars drove down the road, all of which were full of people, apparently overloaded.
Father Han gestured and asked them to drive into the parking lot, and before the old Hall could get out of the car, he greeted him and said, "It's really a good weather to celebrate your birthday." ”
"Han, the grass I brought back yesterday, they love it so much, how about selling it to me?"
"Hall, I have more than 10,000 cows, let's talk about it next year." Father Han smiled: "Today is my son's birthday, don't talk about business, come here, the party is about to start." ”
The old man came to him, hugged Han Qianshan warmly, and took out a box and put it in Han Xuan's hand: "Take it apart and take a look, I chose it for a long time today." ”
"Thank you, Hall." Han Xuan replied politely, opened the box and looked down, there was a baby elephant made of gold inside, which looked very cartoonish.
Father Han also saw it and said to Hall, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is too precious for us to accept it." ”
"It's just a little toy, like a good meaning for Chinese people, I hope you like it, boy." Old Hall snorted, raised his legs and walked inside, no longer giving Han Qianshan a chance to speak.
Han Xuan stretched out his hand and checked it, at least 200 grams, and turned his head to look at his father.
Han Qianshan put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Take it first, and when his daughter gives birth, we will buy something back for him." ”
Xi Zizi held the golden elephant in his arms, Han Xuan and his father continued to entertain the guests, and soon put a bunch of gifts around them, some of which were just bottles of wine, as long as the mind arrived.
A few minutes later, Bell and his staff arrived, and the party began.
Including the employees of the Snow Mountain Ranch, there were more than 200 people present, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The long table, one and a half meters wide and about twelve meters long, was covered with a red cloth underneath, on which delicate silver plates filled with food, and the casks of malt beer were piled up like a mountain.
The smell of barbecue sounded, and Pooh cheekily leaned his head over, causing old Barton to laugh, and soon ran away with a steak in his mouth.
After a while, he reappeared, nothing more than coming to Martinez.
Probably because he didn't think it tasted good, Pooh spat and turned his head away, and Martinez was almost stunned......
