Chapter 42: Native chicken

Views:

This kind of mushroom was very expensive when Jiang Hai was a child. Jiang Hai remembered that at that time, pork was sold for just over four yuan per catty, while this kind of mushroom cost five yuan per catty. Since then, he has Almost every year I say I want to eat this mushroom.

But all in all, I haven’t eaten it for many years. This is because this kind of mushroom appears only rarely in the season. Picking starts in mid-July and ends at the end of August. Moreover, the growing conditions are extremely harsh and it only grows in mountainous areas. It will not grow where the temperature is higher than 32 degrees, and the humidity must reach 85%.

As people's dietary requirements increase, the price of this delicious mushroom is also constantly changing. At the same time, this mushroom contains polyols, which can fight cancer and treat diabetes.

It also doubles the status of this mushroom, and because it cannot be cultivated, its price has always been high.

Jiang Hai hasn't eaten for at least a while, and looking at it now, he can't help but feel that the saliva secreted in his mouth has increased.

Although what was in front of him was just work and the price was more expensive, he still decided to take care of it all.

"Young man, why did you buy so many mushrooms?" Just as Jiang Hai packed up all the mushrooms, an old man walked over from a distance. He looked at Jiang Hai strangely and asked with curiosity.

"Uncle, are you Chinese?" Listening to the pure Mandarin spoken by the uncle, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Of course, 99% of those who will come here to buy things are Chinese." Hearing what Jiang Hai said, the uncle chuckled and said.

"Haha, yes, uncle, let me tell you, this kind of mushroom is called pine mushroom. It is a wild mushroom and it is very delicious." After hearing the uncle's words, Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, but he still introduced it to the uncle. stand up.

"Oh? I've eaten this kind of mushroom before. It tastes really good, but it will cause diarrhea." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man here recalled it and said with some fear.

"Of course, there is a layer of skin on it. You have to remove this layer of skin before you can eat it." Hearing what the uncle said, Jiang Hai smiled and continued. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the uncle also fell into deep thought. It seems he doesn't know.

After buying the mushrooms, Jiang Hai thought for a moment and bought a few iron rod yams, which he could eat and play with after returning home.

After buying these things, he was ready to pay, but was stopped by the old man again.

"Young man, look at you buying so much sauce, rice and mushrooms. Are you from the Northeast? There are little stupid chickens in this store. How many of them are you going to buy?" Looking at Jiang Hai, the old man here said with a chuckle. got up.

"Stupid chicken? Is it reliable? The American emperor also has stupid chickens?" The so-called stupid chickens are native chickens. Chickens raised in rural homes rarely feed feed and they all forage for food outside. Breeder chickens may be because they don't eat well, so they are basically not very big. At the same time, because they are always looking for food, they also eat grass seeds and bugs, so the meat is very firm and has almost no meat. The fat tastes quite good. Jiang Hai didn't like to eat chicken originally. For chicken, he only eats the thighs and breasts. However, after coming to the United States for so long, he really misses the taste of native chicken.

"Haha, the chickens here are all chicken breeds brought from China by the owner of the store. They were specially raised in pens here in the United States. What do you think?" Hearing Jiang Hai's doubts, The old man said with a smile.

"Oh? Then you can take a look." Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. If the chickens were really brought from China and raised here, then the chickens should probably taste good.

Although the United States also eats chicken, the chicken breeds here are not very good. Basically, many of them are turkey skewers. Turkeys are fat and big. To be honest, the meat is not very tasty. It's okay to go hungry, but when it comes to enjoyment, this game is not enough.

So even in the United States, most people only get some turkey to eat during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Other times, they won't eat these things. The chickens they raise are also big and stupid, with nothing more than a lot of meat.

After talking to the old man, Jiang Hai came to the area of the store that sells fresh food. In addition to selling sea fish and beef, it also sells river fish. Moreover, because of the flooding of river fish in the United States, and the lack of people Fishing has become a disaster.

The river fish here are very large and of very good quality. Strictly speaking, these fish are all wild fish.

It's just that people in the US empire will not eat these fish, but Jiang Hai is different. He has been eating sea fish these days and has become a little tired of it. Now that he saw river fish, he really wanted to eat some.

But he would not buy river fish here. After all, according to Robbins, river fish are a disaster in the United States.

There is absolutely no need to buy this toy. Just go to the river and you can catch something to eat in half an hour. There is no need to buy it.

So Jiang Hai just took a look, and then went to the chicken seller next door. When he saw Jiang Hai, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

This pair of chickens is not like the chickens raised here in the United States, which basically only have one color. This chicken has many colors. Looking at the comb of the rooster, it is clear that it has grown, but the size of the chicken is about Only about three pounds.

"These chickens are pretty good, let's pick a few." Looking at the chickens in front of him, Jiang Hai nodded. After picking three chickens and a basket of eggs, he didn't have anything else to buy. It's not too far here anyway. , if you need to buy it again in the future, you can just drive here again. According to what you called a few days ago to ask, in a few days, it will be the day to take the driver's license test. Then you can come over and buy it at any time, carrying a With a lot of things, Jiang Hai went to the checkout counter. These things were good to buy, but the prices were ridiculously expensive. It cost Jiang Hai more than three hundred dollars in total, but he had to buy them no matter how expensive they were, right

"Uncle, don't you want to buy something?" After buying something, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the old man not far behind him. He had been watching this old man walking around just now and persuaded himself to buy so many things. Why is he missing? He is buying it.

"Me? This store is opened by my son. What should I buy?" After hearing what the old man said, Jiang Hai almost couldn't breathe. Okay, why is this a Mintuo? But there's nothing to say, a If you are willing to be beaten, you are willing to suffer. If you don't want to buy these things, you can't buy them as soon as you are persuaded, right? Finally, Jiang Hai smiled at the old man and carried everything out.

"Hey, boss, why are you buying so many things?" Seeing Jiang Hai in front of him, he was empty-handed when he went in, and when he came out, he was holding such a big pile. Even Robbins was stunned.

"It's nothing, these are things from our hometown. Sometimes I am used to your Western food, and I miss the taste of my hometown, right?" Hearing Robbins' words, Jiang Hai chuckled and said to him.

"If you really want to eat, you can go to the Chinese restaurant in town. The taste there is pretty good." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins was stunned for a moment and said to Jiang Hai, but Jiang Hai Just shook his head.

How could he not eat in a Chinese restaurant after being here for so long, but to be honest, the catering industry is the same no matter where it is. In order to make money in a place, you have to cook to cater to the taste of the place. Otherwise, Where does the profit come from

The same is true for American Chinese food, which has long since changed beyond recognition.

He went to a small restaurant in Winthrop to eat Chinese food. Tomato sauce was put on almost every dish, which was very hard to accept.

"You don't understand. You will know when I do it. Let's go!" Jiang Hai said to Robbins with a slight smile.

Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins scratched his head. He did not understand a little, but it was whatever Jiang Hai said. Who said he was the boss? He gently lifted the brakes and started the beast. With a roar, Speeding towards Jiang Hai's pasture.

It took an hour and a half to arrive, but when leaving, there was no need to slow down or take a detour. In a little more than an hour, they had arrived at the gate of the manor. At this time, in front of the gate, Bob - When George was checking Jiang Hai's horses with Burke-Dahler, there was naturally no problem with the horses that Robbins chose, but he was afraid that when he came here, he would be knocked or banged. It was easy to say, so Burke-Dahle checked it again, and there was no problem.

"Are these horses okay?" The car stopped next to Burke-Dahle. Jiang Hai lay on the car window and said to Burke-Dahle.

"Boss, there's no problem." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Burke also nodded. Old Bob's horse is also famous around here, so there won't be any big problem. If there is really a problem, then he It's impossible to have a horse farm here for so long.

"Well, that's fine. I'll put the things back first. The biggest of these horses is mine. You can look at the others separately!" After hearing Burke's words, Jiang Hai also smiled at Old Bob. After a moment, he motioned to Robbins to drive in first.

After driving the car into the manor, Jiang Hai first took down the gun and bullets and put them in an empty wardrobe in his room. There were four farm cabinets in his room, but he only had a total of his own clothes. So five or six sets, considered underwear, would not fit in a single wardrobe. He didn't know what to put in the three that were originally vacant.

Now that there is a gun, one of them should be used to hold the gun. As for the bullets, they should be kept separately from the gun. This is what Ross said.

After putting down the gun, Jiang Hai came downstairs again, took down the food, and put it in his refrigerator first.

In the end, the only ones left were the chickens, but as soon as he took down the chicken coop, the two dogs surrounded him.

"Go, go, go, this is my ration, not yours." Looking at the fierce look in the eyes of the two dogs, Jiang Hai went up to kick them and yelled at them loudly.
