Chapter 1204 Cattle Farm
After get off work, Jiang Yuan chose to walk home slowly.
After working as a salesperson for a long time, even if you live in a five-star hotel or even a small house you bought yourself, you still feel like you are on a business trip, and you accumulate some mental stress without realizing it.
At this time, walking home is like a pressure relief valve. The closer you are to home, the less pressure you feel.
Mu Zhiyang and Wen Ming followed Jiang Yuan, each carrying a Type 92. Ningtai County's security was still guaranteed to a certain extent. Mu Zhiyang only wore a common bulletproof vest without ceramic plates, and paid more attention to the people and vehicles around him.
The road was lined with trees and the breeze was blowing. There were many people who chose to walk. Occasionally, someone would pick up their phone and point it at the two people in police uniforms, probably preparing to post something on WeChat Moments. Every time this happened, Mu Zhiyang would turn around and look at the other person directly, so that the law enforcement recorder on his chest could capture the other person's face.
Jiang Yuan took out his cell phone and called his father: "I'm going home for dinner."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Fuzhen was very happy and laughed loudly, "It's better to go home. I run around outside every day and can't even get anything to eat."
"Didn't you send a cook over?" Jiang Yuan also felt comfortable to be home.
"The food cooked by the chef is not as good as your father's." Jiang Fuzhen was proud for a few seconds, then turned around and said, "I have learned two new ways to roast meat. Come back and try them. You don't have to go upstairs, we can do it downstairs."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed with a smile and walked a little faster.
Maki Zhiyang put one hand on his belt and followed closely.
Jiangcun Community is as lively as ever. There are still a dozen uncles and aunts squatting at the entrance of the small supermarket as usual.
Jiang Yuan walked in while greeting people, and someone called out, "Your dad is on the side with the most smoke."
Jiang Yuan looked up and saw the wisps of green smoke rising from the center of the community. He asked, "What is he doing?"
"Brazilian barbecue. Your father asked someone to build a stove, just like the kang we use. It's quite interesting." An old man said a few words, with only a little bit of sarcasm in his words for the sake of Jiang Yuan and the village's richest man.
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, recalling that his father had called before and said that he had bought a new breed of cattle. Now it seems that the new breed of cattle probably requires a new cooking method, and the new cooking method requires new stoves and new cooking utensils, which sounds reasonable.
After passing a flower bed of green trees and flowers, and then going around to the public canteen in the middle of the community, you will see a long iron chain hanging from the three-story ceiling, with half a cow hanging on the hook below.
Next to the cow was a newly built stove. The stove looked to be more than two meters high, so tall that five or six people could hug it together, and it was surrounded by firebricks and cement.
What is incongruous is that this crude-looking stove is installed in the renovated canteen. Although the public canteen is decorated very simply, which is a combination of village-level aesthetics and pragmatism, this stove looks even more stupid, big and rough.
But looking around, a group of children were playing and watching around the cow and the stove. Further behind them, there were young wives holding their children, and grandparents pushing their children around. Some of them were holding skewers of meat in their hands, which looked like they had just been grilled.
"Son." Jiang Fuzhen knew that Jiang Yuan was coming back, and had been paying attention to the door. When he saw Jiang Yuan, who was a head taller than him, appear, he immediately waved the pliers happily.
"Be careful not to burn yourself." Jiang Yuan trotted over.
Jiang Fuzhen patted Jiang Yuan's back vigorously, pointed at the red-hot furnace, and said, "We started preparing early in the morning. The heat is best now. How about some skewered meat?"
"Okay." Jiang Yuan followed the person next to him and brought a plate over.
One of my cousins joked, "Uncle still sides with Jiang Yuan, so he kept the best meat for himself."
"If you like beef butt, I'll kill another one and cut it for you." Jiang Fuzhen took out an arm-long iron skewer and placed it on the plate Jiang Yuan was holding: "Be careful of the heat, let it cool down before eating."
The cousin walked around Jiang Yuan and said, "I can't afford it. It's too extravagant to kill a cow right now."
"I bought another batch of cattle from my ranch. You can pick the ones you like and kill them." Jiang Fuzhen took out his cell phone, handed it to the person next to him, and said, "Just look at the picture and kill the cattle. They will be delivered in two hours."
"No, no." The cousin shook her head again and again: "I just need to eat a few skewers of meat. Why did you buy so many cows?"
"It will be easier to improve the breed of cattle if there are more of them. I want to get a cow with the taste that I like, and I have nothing to do anyway." Jiang Fuzhen said a little excitedly and began to introduce the knowledge about cattle breeding that he had just learned.
Jiang Yuan blew gently on the meat on the skewer. When it cooled down a little, he took a bite and chewed it hard. The rich gravy filled his mouth.
He was not worried about his father. As far as Jiang Fuzhen's luck was concerned, he had been doing business for so many years and had basically never lost money. Occasionally there would be a small fluctuation, and soon there would be a demolition to help balance the account. If the Jiang Family Ranch could hold on until the new breed of cattle was released, it would be a victory in itself.
Lunch was served around the oven.
After Jiang Fuzhen roasted half a cow and fed hundreds of residents in the community, Jiang Yuan followed his father home.
Like many men, Jiang Fuzhen had all kinds of things to say when he didn't see his son. But when he really saw his son, it was as if he had already said them all and he felt satisfied.
In comparison, the two dogs at home were more enthusiastic. They sniffed around Jiang Yuan and wagged their tails as if they were about to take off.
Of course, Jiang Yuan did give them beef.
Jiang Fuzhen turned on the TV, which was playing a football match from somewhere, and he and his uncle Qiang each had a bottle of beer, and the house immediately became lively.
"How many days can you stay?" Jiang Fuzhen drank a bottle of beer and handed another to Jiang Yuan.
"It'll only take a few days. After we pick one or two suitable cases, we'll be ready to go." Jiang Yuan clinked glasses with his father and took a big sip of beer. The beer was sharp and perfect for relieving greasiness.
"So it's because there are too few cases in Ningtai, so you have to be on business trips all day long?" Jiang Fuzhen asked.
"Yes, but there haven't been any major cases in Ningtai County for a long time." Jiang Yuan glanced at his father: "Do you want me to stay at home?"
"That's not true." Jiang Fuzhen immediately waved his hand: "A man's ambition is to go far and wide. When you wanted to go back to Ningtai, I thought you wanted to lie down. I didn't expect..."
Jiang Fuzhen paused for a moment and said, "I was thinking that since you are always on business trips, you don't eat well and live well, why don't you settle down in a few places and I will buy a few houses so that it will be convenient for you to come and go."
"Haven't we already bought a house in Changyang City? We also have a house in Beijing..."
"I see you don't live much..."
"No need. I can't tell you where we'll go next time to handle a case." Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the fact that he was going to more and more places now, he felt that this trick would hardly bring convenience to his life, but might instead bring a lot of trouble.
Jiang Fuzhen took out his mobile phone and opened the ICBC APP skillfully, saying, "I'll give you some money. You can buy it when you need it. If it's not enough, let me know..."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan accepted it calmly.
Uncle Qiang waited for the father and son to put away their phones, then said to Jiang Fuzhen, "Didn't you say before that the owner of the cattle breed you wanted had lost something at home? Jiang Yuan might be able to find it for them."
"Just a few paintings, probably worth a few million at most." Jiang Fuzhen shook his head.
"Several million is a lot, what kind of painting?" Jiang Yuan asked. Jiang Fuzhen has opened a ranch three times, although the first two times were stopped due to demolition, but from another perspective, opening a ranch and raising cattle are really Jiang Fuzhen's hobbies, and as a son, he naturally supports it.
"Let me think about it. There is a small painting by Zhang Daqian, which is said to be an authentic one. This should be the most valuable. The rest are from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but I can't remember the name." Jiang Fuzhen said, then changed the subject: "The owner of this cattle farm is also a prodigal son. His father bought Limousin cattle from France and did a great job in crossbreeding. As a result, his son failed to get into university and studied art. He bought paintings when he had money, but was cheated..."
"Which place is the cattle farm? What's its name?" Jiang Yuan asked one by one, then sent it to Wang Chuanxing, saying, "I'll ask what the situation is first. If necessary, I can help them take a look."
