It is said that people in the East are willing to flatter, but in fact flattery is a common feature of human beings. Don’t think that the American imperialists, the rich and powerful, who talk about freedom, democracy and rights all the time, will not flatter.
Now they eat from Jiang Hai, live in Jiang Hai's house, and earn from Jiang Hai's money. Of course, they have to work hard.
But in the current environment of American imperialism, in order to keep their current jobs, they will also flatter Jiang Hai in some small things, such as the food they eat, and they are slowly improving it.
Mrs. Philemon is a pure housewife. She doesn't need to go out to make money, so she has a lot of time.
What she needs to do every day is actually very simple. Get up in the morning, prepare breakfast, and in the morning, go to the vegetable patch behind Jiang Hai's villa. People in the United States really hardly eat Shicai. The vegetables here are mainly There are only three ways to eat it. The first is to eat it raw, such as carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Vegetables that can be eaten raw are their favorites.
In addition, it can be steamed and eaten. The most famous one is mashed potatoes. After steaming, make it into a puree, and then add some things to it. Of course, in addition to potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, etc. Yes, it can also be made into mud.
The third way is to eat it fried. Apart from these three ways of eating it, there is no other way to eat it.
Therefore, in supermarkets in the United States, except for Huaxia Supermarket, the number of vegetables sold is not very small, but most of them are different from domestic dishes. For example, Jiang Hai once visited Winthrop's. In the supermarket, there were many people whom Jiang Hai didn't recognize.
For example, the most famous basil is both a vegetable and a spice. The rest are parsley, leeks, cabbage, kohlrabi, beet, kohlrabi, and kohlrabi that are very common here. But here we don’t pickle them and eat them as pickles), parsnips that are about the same size as carrots, and vegetables like rhubarb. In short, I am a person who likes to eat vegetables. If I come to the United States, if there is not a Huaxia supermarket around me, Maybe he's going to starve to death.
There is a small vegetable garden behind Jiang Hai's villa, but Jiang Hai himself does not know how to grow vegetables. Compared with meat, he does not like vegetables very much, so he is not too concerned about the vegetable garden. And this small vegetable garden is now It is Mrs. Philemon who takes care of it. Of course, it is already cold now. She has already harvested all the vegetables that should be harvested and is waiting to plant them next year.
Today the Philemon family specially cooked eight dishes, including fruits, appetizers, main dishes, and soup. The soup is naturally the most famous cheddar soup near Boston, which uses the shellfish they got yesterday. made.
These shellfish are cold-water deep-sea shellfish, and the taste is quite good. A fruit salad is inevitable. As for vegetables, I made a fried vegetable, which contains raw flowers, cauliflower, eggplant, carrots, etc., and a plate Mashed potatoes, but according to the habits of people here in the United States, the taste of mashed potatoes is basically sour and sweet. But because of Jiang Hai, after the mashed potatoes are made, the taste is Salty.
Except for these four dishes with different flavors, the remaining four dishes are all meat dishes.
The main course was naturally steak. Today, Jiang Hai asked Burke-Dahler to cut the premium-grade beef. Of course, most of the premium-grade beef was left in Jiang Hai's freezer by Burke-Dahler. He cut it The premium grade ones are calculated on a head-to-head basis, one pound per person, but even so, these people are very happy. In addition to these steaks, many other steaks are also fried, but these steaks are just They are all of the special grade. Although it is one level lower, for the people here, there is no dissatisfaction. In their opinion, having dozens of dollars per pound of beef to eat is already a great gift. .
You know, what they make in a day is only about a hundred dollars.
There was some meat left that was not suitable for steak, and Mrs. Philemon did not let it go. Instead, she stewed a large pot of beef soup with basil in it. The taste was still acceptable in Jiang Hai.
Apart from these two beef dishes, the rest is seafood. Cut the fish caught yesterday into two pieces, shave off the bones in the middle, then fry both sides, and then use lemon juice to remove the fishy smell. It tastes sour and sweet inside. With the sweet aroma of fish, it is still very good.
There is also a seafood dish, which is the shrimps and crabs brought by Jiang Hai. These are fresh and do not require much processing. They can be eaten after boiling them in salt water, specializing in the sweet aroma inside.
In fact, the same seafood has different prices in different locations.
Everyone knows that fish in warm and tropical zones are more numerous and grow faster than fish in cold zones. However, except for the Peruvian fisheries, the other three largest fisheries in the world are all in the northern hemisphere. Whether it is the North Sea fishing ground, the Hokkaido fishing ground, or the Newfoundland fishing ground very close to Jiang Hai's manor, of course, Newfoundland is finished now, but it is undeniable that the current fishing industry is actually mainly in the northern hemisphere, even near the cold zone .
Even domestically, the shipment volume may be higher in the south, but when it comes to delicious food, it has to be said to be from the north.
There are reasons for this. First, the north is a cold-water fish. When the water is cold, fish do not grow fast. A fish that grows in one year in the south takes two, three, or even four or five years in the north. These four or five years The accumulation will naturally be superior in taste.
Secondly, the cold current in winter in the north passes by. In order to avoid the cold on the surface, fish are more willing to go to the deep sea. The water pressure in the deep sea is higher. When the pressure outside is high, the fish meat becomes tighter. The same fish and shrimp in the south. It may be bigger than the ones in the north, but the taste is slightly better than the ones in the south. Jiang Hai used to live in Bingcheng. Although it is not next to the seaside, as a foodie, he thinks about this aspect. It is also very researched.
The shrimps and crabs that Jiang Hai catches now are all seafood that has been grown naturally for ten years in his fishery. The taste is sweet and fresh, and fresh and sweet. Coupled with the taste of the ocean, the meat is extremely firm. , even Moses Adams, who had seen a lot of the world, was very happy. As a lawyer, although he may pay attention to his appearance in normal times, as he said, he is just a lawyer. It's just a tool. In order to make money from those rich people, he can naturally sit at a Western restaurant in a dignified manner one moment, wearing a tuxedo, like a gentleman, sipping red wine and cutting steak, and the next second , or he can become like a street gangster, eating large chunks of meat and drinking heavily.
In a 'service' industry like his, pleasing the employer is the most important thing.
Of course, this also depends on whether he has the strength. Obviously, in his eyes, Jiang Hai is a person with strength.
A meal is naturally a time for both the guest and the host to enjoy themselves. Moses Adams, as a lawyer, is naturally not allowed to drink alcohol when handling a case. However, after the case is settled, there is also socializing, so he has a good drinking capacity. People like Robbins and Burke-Dahler are naturally at the wine barrel level. When competing with these people, even if Jiang Hai's physical fitness has reached the limit of human beings and his body's alcohol tolerance is incomparable. , so after mixing the three colors of red, white, and beer, it didn't take long for Jiang Hai to feel that his head was a little dazed. He shook his head, and Jiang Hai decided to get out of the way first and go outside for some fresh air.
He took three steps to the outside of the villa. Looking at the stars in the sky and the salty sea breeze blowing, Jiang Hai also felt that his energy was getting better. At this moment, there seemed to be some quarrels. , floated into his ears.
Listening to the quarrel, Jiang Hai frowned, because he could probably tell that one of the two quarrels came from Burke Dahle, an employee of his manor, and the other was a female voice. , but there is only one woman in his manor, Mrs. Philemon, but it is obvious that this is the voice of a young woman, and she is completely different from Mrs. Philemon.
In this case, it could only be the girl that Moses Adams brought here just now.
"Isn't something happened?" Thinking of this, Jiang Hai's spirit improved a lot. In fact, he understood that a man and a woman alone were arguing outside in the dark. Thinking about it, he felt a little uncomfortable. That's right. Did Burke-Dahler have something wrong with him? If so, it would be troublesome. Although Moses-Adams is flattering himself now, he is not a pimp. If something really happens, Jiang Hai was already 80% sober at this time.
With that subtle voice, Jiang Hai's five senses were brought into full play. Following the direction from which the voice came, he quickly walked towards the back of the house. Sure enough, not far behind the house, Jiang Hai saw something in the moonlight. Below him was Burke-Dahler and the girl brought over by Moses Adams, but it seemed that there was at least two or three meters between them at this time, and their clothes were not messy, and there was nothing disturbing about them. The misunderstood action made Jiang Hai temporarily put his heart back in his stomach, but then he became interested in these two people coming here alone in the middle of the night to say something. Even though Jiang Hai was a man, he Sometimes he was quite gossipy, but now he didn't say much, so he turned around and hid in the corner next to him, watching the scene in front of him.
"Penelope, when did you return to Boston? You didn't tell me. I don't know if your mother has ever read the letters I wrote to you over the years..." Er, who was under the moonlight at this time, People did not notice the existence of Jiang Hai. Burke-Dahle looked at Penelope who seemed to be a piece of solid ice in front of him and did not give him a good look at all. He took a deep breath and lowered his head in a deep voice. Speaking of which, it seems that this guy is indeed related to this girl.
"What are you showing me? See how impoverished my father is? How hopeless? It's really hard for me to imagine what you were like when my mother and I left, and what you are like now. What do you want me to have?" I can tell you." After hearing Burke-Dahler's words, the woman opposite didn't even think about it, she raised her head and said coldly.
