But if you feel that only vegetables are expensive here, then you are too naive. Jiang Hai also felt that he was a little too naive. When he walked to the fruit section... In addition to vegetables, the prices of fruits here are also expensive. Somewhat outrageous.
Watermelons cost ninety-nine cents a pound, three kiwis cost one dollar, and oranges, about two pounds or more, cost four point ninety-nine dollars.
Apples cost one dollar and ninety-nine cents a pound. To be honest, seeing this price, Jiang Hai missed the country a little. These were just random fruits on display outside, and the high-quality ones were more expensive.
However, it also gave Jiang Hai a glimpse of business opportunities. If all his pastures were used to raise cattle, he could raise 100,000 cattle. However, now he only raises 20,000 cattle. He keeps changing pastures throughout the year and cannot use them. Such a big place.
Some of the free space can be used to grow fruits and vegetables. He believes that the price of what he grows should be higher.
But now, they were just looking around. After a brief walk around, everyone started to buy things.
It was agreed that Jiang Hai was the one to treat tonight, so naturally he was unambiguous in his decision. He bought standard beef, the best beef shoulder, costing eight dollars per pound. Jiang Hai bought 200 pounds. Not only did he buy this beef today, He wants to eat at night, and he also wants to eat at ordinary times.
Moreover, a manor owner like him naturally has to provide food and drink for his subordinates. This is inevitable.
Two hundred pounds of beef, ten bags of chicken hand, ten bags of ten fins. When Jiang Hai wanted to buy fish, he was stopped by Robbins and Edward. There were plenty of fish on his side of the sea, and Edward held a piece of fish. Put the fishing rod over and hang it for half an hour, which is enough for these people to eat at night.
So there is no need to buy this. In addition, there are many other things to eat, such as onions. People in the United States can’t stand the taste of onions, ginger, and garlic, but they like the taste of onions very much. And onions can also be eaten. It suppressed the muttony smell of beef and it was quite good.
In addition, there are a lot of lettuce, carrots, celery, eggplant, etc., all of which are organic.
Jiang Hai is not a picky person. Although he doesn't have much money now, he still doesn't want to spend money on words.
For example, in the old days of China, old people saved money with their mouths. But now that Jiang Hai is short of money, it is obvious that he cannot get it from his mouth. Instead of doing this, just spend it and buy vegetables. , meat, Jiang Hai bought a lot of fruits, apples, oranges, and some berries such as Canadian blue plums. Two small boxes of these berries cost about six taels and cost three US dollars. It is indeed After calculating the price of all these things, Jiang Hai also spent more than 2,100 US dollars, but he would not care about these small sums. He left the supermarket's phone number in case there would be such a large order in the future. , you can ask them to deliver the goods.
Then, he, Edward and Robbins moved all these things to the car.
Before moving, Edward and Robbins were still talking about not letting Jiang Hai take action. After all, Jiang Hai was the one paying the money.
In fact, they were afraid that Jiang Hai would not be able to move, and their faces would be ruined. However, they did not expect that Jiang Hai could lift more than the two of them. This shocked the two of them. It seemed that Jiang Hai is not as weak as he seems on the surface.
"After buying food, let's go get some bars!" After moving the food to Robbins's back seat, Jiang Hai patted the car door and faced Robbins next to him and Ed in the distance. Hua said.
"Buying a drink? Okay, let's go to old Tony's place. The bartenders there are real." There is no sailor or cowboy who doesn't like drinking. Now when they heard Jiang Hai said to drink on time, the words in their mouths The saliva began to secrete, and Robbins said directly.
"Old Tony's wine, that's really good, let's go!" Hearing Robbins' words, Edward here also laughed, and then two old shabby pickup trucks came to yesterday's place with a roar. The Cowboy Song Bar where Jiang Hai visited in the evening.
At this time, the bar was not open yet. There were only two waiters cleaning there. When they saw the three people walking in, they were obviously stunned, but they also knew Robbins and Edward.
After expressing his intention to come, he left behind the amount that would be consumed in the past few days, and the rest that could be packed was bought by Jiang Hai.
I bought a total of three barrels of home-brewed beer, plus more than 20 bottles of foreign wine. Most of these foreign wines are whiskey, brandy, vodka, tequila, rum, and whiskey. They are relatively cheap among foreign wines, but they are very powerful. Very big.
These wines cost Jiang Hai a total of more than 300 US dollars. He originally thought it would cost more than 1,000 US dollars, because he remembered that he had drunk one of these before, and that one sold for 300 US dollars in China. One more bottle would cost fifty dollars here.
But unexpectedly, when the accounts were settled, the wine was only worth twelve US dollars. Well, Jiang Hai felt that he had been cheated again...
But there was no other way. He didn't have this channel to buy these wines when he was in China.
After packing the wine, Jiang Hai took his two men and flew back home.
The next thing to do is to prepare these foods.
People in the United States are different from people in China. In China, especially in the Northeast, if you want to express your enthusiasm, you have to cook a lot of dishes, such as during New Years and holidays, or when people come to your home. In the Northeast, you always have to cook a lot of dishes. I can cook dishes for a large table, and they are all done in pairs rather than singles. For example, if there are few people, it will be six, if there are medium people, it will be eight, if there are quite a lot of people, it will be ten, twelve, sixteen, etc. , the rest doesn’t matter, but you must do more to show your hospitality.
But in the United States, it won’t be like this. To be honest, people here in the United States are very simple in making things. It’s basically a party like this. Because it’s a relationship between cowboys and fishermen, beef and fish are a must. Less.
The beef can be cut into steak-like shapes and grilled, and the fish can basically be fried. Of course, you can also set up a fire in the yard and grill it on skewers yourself, plus Jiang Hai If you want to eat the sausages, chicken wings, etc. you originally bought, you can just bake them yourself. All they have to do is feed the ingredients first, and then dress them with the fiber they bought, that's all.
Other than that, there is basically only one way to prepare vegetables and fruits, salad, which is not greasy and tasty, so that’s fine.
Therefore, cooking in the United States, especially cooking such dishes, is very simple. It only takes about an hour. Jiang Hai, Luo Housi and Edward have already finished these things. Robins went to In the warehouse, he took out some branches that he usually cut down. These trees were all dead in the forest. When he was bored when he was patrolling, he would cut some. When making barbecue, he would use wood to roast it. Much more delicious than making it in the oven.
After getting all these things in place, Jiang Hai and his two men headed toward the seaside in an all-terrain vehicle.
Now he has prepared beef, chicken wings, chicken hands, vegetable salad and fruit salad. As for the staple food, Jiang Hai called and ordered pizza. When he was in China, Jiang Hai liked to eat this food, but in These things are not cheap in China. Before the divorce, he did not have much spare money to eat these things.
After the divorce, he finally had some spare money, but he didn't really eat much in China. After arriving in the United States, he found that the pizza in the United States was much more delicious than the ones in China. Of course, it was said that the pizza was the most delicious. Sa is in New York, but the one in Boston is also good.
He bought ten large 16-inch pizzas at one time, which was enough for these people. Now they have to solve the fish problem.
"Hi, boss, have you ever fished before?" As a professional fisherman, Edward's luggage contains most of his fishing rods. There are many types of fishing rods, some of which are suitable for fishing in the river. Some are suitable for fishing in ponds, and some are suitable for fishing in large reservoirs. Of course, there are also sea rods for fishing in the sea, but there are many types of sea rods, those used on boats, those used on rocks, and those used on the beach. There are many things to pay attention to such as the length, thickness, material, etc. of the fishing rod.
The size of the fishhook, the thickness of the fishing line, and even the bait for the fish are all very particular. People who are not dedicated to playing with this thing may not really understand it. Edward looked at Jiang Hai with a hope in his eyes. With an expression on his face, he couldn’t help but smile and ask.
"I have fished before, but only in rivers, reservoirs and fish ponds." Jiang Hai scratched his head, looked at Edward and said with some embarrassment. He had only seen others use the sea rod, but he could Not used.
"Oh, boss, freshwater fish are different from seawater fish." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward here had not yet spoken, but Robbins over there had already started talking with a smile.
“Yes, fishing for freshwater fish is always float fishing, but sea fish is different because the sea is too deep. Therefore, in addition to float fishing, sea fishing is also divided into bottom fishing, boat fishing and sport fishing. We fish from boats. Without this resource now, floating fishing can only catch fish about one meter deep, and those fish are very small, so we basically use trick fishing or bottom fishing." Hearing what Robbins said , Edward also smiled and talked to Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai was also a little moved when he heard them talking so lively.
"Fish fishing requires some skills. Generally, beginners who fish on the shore are bottom fishing. You should try it first." Seeing Jiang Hai's eagerness to try, Edward here used A fishing rod was handed to Jiang Hai's hand.
This fishing rod is not like the hand rod usually used for fishing freshwater fish, which is as thin as the front. The front of this sea rod is also very thick. A very thick line is tied to the roller below, at the top. A large lead weight and a pair of fishhooks were tied to it, but there was no fishing float. Looking at the equipment in front of him, Jiang Hai's eyes began to light up and he took the fishing rod handed over by Edward. , he tried it first. With his current strength, it was trivial to swing these fishing rods.
Then I took some small shrimps from Robbins. These shrimps are actually small shrimps, but they are not small at all. They were caught by Robbins with a net at the beach when he had nothing to do, and they were specially used for pawns. It was used for fishing bait, which made Jiang Hai feel distressed.
