"My wife said, you can eat whatever you want at home at noon. If you eat whatever you want in the evening, she will be embarrassed to take your money." Looking at Jiang Hai eating the stewed beef in the lunch box, here Philemon also smiled and spoke.

Hearing his words, Jiang Hai also smiled. No matter what the reason was, it was such a cold day that someone was thinking about him. This was also a warm thing in people's hearts. In the past year, he has become accustomed to it. He is alone. During the New Year and holidays, he is only by himself. During holidays, he is only by himself. When doing things, he is only by himself.

Friends also have their own things to do. They have to go to work and spend time with their parents, relatives, and family members, so Jiang Hai cannot harass them often. Since his parents passed away, Jiang Hai originally thought that he would be the mainstay of his life in the future. It might be Qi Li, but reality slapped him in the face. The only pillar of his future life is actually himself.

People are creatures that are very accustomed to adapting. After a year of adaptation period, Jiang Hai has adapted to being alone.

Originally, he came to the United States to open a manor not to make money. Of course, people like money, but his purpose was not for money. If it was really for money, then he would have spent 330 million US dollars. It can last several lifetimes.

There is absolutely no need to do this, and his only purpose of doing this now is to explore the mystery of this tattoo on his body.

So when he bought the manor, he didn't care too much and didn't even haggle the price. Of course, the auction house couldn't haggle the price. Compared with private manor owners, auction houses couldn't haggle. .

The price is what you order, there is no such thing as being cheaper or having a bonus.

Jiang Hai knew this very well from the beginning, so he didn't say anything and just spent money to buy it.

When he first bought it, he was still worried. Although he was the boss, he was an outsider after all. He was really afraid that Robbins and others would team up to deceive him. By then, he would be unfamiliar with the place. It's difficult to handle.

But in fact, Robbins and the others are really good people. They don't say that they think about everything for Jiang Hai, but they are sincere and really treat Jiang Hai very well, whether in ordinary life or professionally. They did not let Jiang Hai discover any selfishness or stealing behavior, which has always made Jiang Hai very satisfied.

Robbins, Burke-Dahler, Philemon, Harriman and Bell were always following Jiang Hai inadvertently or inadvertently, teaching him how to grade beef, how to raise cattle, how to raise horses, and how to They will remind Jiang Hai at any time about brushing, how to train the dog, how to choose it, etc., including adding clothes when the weather is cold, which makes Jiang Hai feel like a family member.

As for Edward, he has been teaching Jiang Hai how to identify fish in the sea, how to catch fish, how to launch nets, which fish are poisonous and harmful, what to do if you encounter others at sea, etc...

Originally, when Jiang Hai came, he didn't know anything. He just came because he had a fever and read a novel about farming.

But when he actually owned a manor, he realized that even if he had a golden finger, it would be really difficult to play with it.

As a layman, if I want to become an expert, it is probably completely impossible without a year or two.

The employment relationship between Jiang Hai and his subordinates made Jiang Hai very happy. Such a human touch is really great.

"Boss, you've been quite bored lately!" Seeing Jiang Hai eating the food in the incubator in a hurry, Philemon here helped him clean it up and said to him with a smile. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but think about it.

It seems that he is indeed a little bored. Before it snowed outside, he actually had something to do every day. At least in the morning, he had something to do. He could go out for a run and boxing. But since the snow started, It seemed like nothing happened to him.

"It's quite boring." Jiang Hai nodded and said with approval.

"This snow is expected to last until tomorrow. If it stops tomorrow, we will shovel the snow tomorrow, and then I will take my turn the day after tomorrow, and I will take you out to play." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon glanced at the sky outside. , and then started talking with a smile.

"Have fun? What are you playing for? I heard that there is a strip club here. I haven't been there since I came here. Do you want to take me there?" After hearing Philemon's words, Jiang Hai He answered immediately and asked.

For a man whose desires can only rely on Xiao Zuo and Xiao Right, finding a woman is the most fun thing.

"Well, if I dare to go, Vicky will beat me to death. If Vicky doesn't beat me to death, Edward will probably beat me to death too. Haha, I mean go fishing, fishing!" After hearing what Philemon said Speaking of this, Jiang Hai was a little disappointed, but then he became energetic again.

"Going to the sea to fish?" Jiang Hai asked curiously, blinking and looking at Philemon.

"No, not to the sea, but to the river." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon shook his head.

"In the river? Don't you guys not eat river fish?" Thinking of the big carp he got back last time, Jiang Hai felt a little pity, but later because he got a few fish back, he said To be honest, these Americans will not like to eat the Chinese way of cooking fish. The only fish they like to eat may only be two kinds, sweet and sour fish and West Lake vinegar fish.

Sweet and sour fish is basically made with carp in China, but overseas, because these guys are not picky, they use sea bass and mandarin fish. The method is almost the same as squirrel mandarin fish. First fry the fish and then use it. Just cook the sweet and sour sauce. This dish is quite popular in Chinese restaurants in the United States.

Secondly, Xinghu Vinegar Fish. To be honest, Jiang Hai, a pure northerner, doesn’t like to eat it. This fish is to steam or boil the fish. After it’s cooked, add sweet and sour sauce on top. Although sauce is the representative of Zhejiang cuisine, Jiang Hai had an urge to die after eating it. It was so unpalatable and completely inconsistent with his taste.

So there are basically only two kinds of fish he makes, one is stewed and the other is braised.

The most famous food in the Northeast is stewed fish in an iron pot. The taste is indeed quite good, but unfortunately, it is too salty. Even these Westerners cannot eat salty food and cannot stand it at all.

It’s impossible to make braised food light. After all, braised food requires soy sauce and salt. It’s strange that these people can’t bear it.

"Well, it's not that we don't eat river fish, it's just that we don't eat Asian carp. We still eat other fish." He smiled awkwardly, and Philemon also smiled and started talking after hearing what he said. , Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded.

There are not only Asian carps in the rivers of the United States, but also many local fish, and these local fish are also eaten by Europeans and Americans.

"Okay then, take me to see it when the time comes." After hearing Philemon's words, Jiang Hai said happily.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the snow stopped. It had been snowing for a day and two nights. The snow was not thin. It was nearly twenty centimeters thick. When Jiang Hai went out in his coat, he stepped down. The snow is already up to the ankles. As for Robbins and others, they have been waiting for a long time. Today's snow is much more difficult to clear than that day. Although it is only twice as thick, it is enough for several people. I was busy until the evening.

This time, the sides of the snowfield were almost unable to pile up, and a lot of snow was pushed into the sea.

The sea does not freeze in winter, except of course the Arctic and Antarctic, but Boston is obviously not that cold yet.

After a busy day, Jiang Hai and others also went back to rest, but before leaving, Jiang Hai clearly remembered what Philemon said about going fishing. When he heard Jiang Hai said that he was going to go fishing in the river, Harriman here He also seemed very interested.

Harriman is different from ordinary children. Because he suffered trauma when he was young, his life is not very good. Although neighbors often help him, he cannot always live on help. Sometimes he is very depressed. Hungry, so in terms of the ability to find wild food, Harriman is a well-deserved ability user.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Hai got up from the warm bed, Philemon and Harriman over there had already inspected the boundaries of the manor. At the same time, each carrying a bucket, they were waiting for Jiang Hai.

"You guys came really early. What's in this bucket? Where's your fishing rod?" Looking at the two people coming over, Jiang Hai chuckled and asked with excitement. He was fully prepared today, and the fishing rod was , fishing lines, fish hooks, composite fishing baits, etc.

"Boss, we are going to break the ice for fishing today. We don't need a fishing rod. There is a layer of ice between you and the fish. Those fish can't see you. As for the bait in the bucket, you will know when it arrives. Yes." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon couldn't help laughing, but he forgot to tell Jiang Hai.

"That's it!" After hearing Philemon's words, Jiang Hai curled his lips and sent the fishing rod back again. In the end, he only followed what Philemon said, holding the thickest fishing line and a lot of it. Fishhook ran back.

Then the three of them drove an F750 and left the manor, heading straight towards a small river not far outside the town of Winthrop. This small river was actually just a tributary of a river fork. It is very narrow, only more than a hundred meters wide, but the water does not dive, probably because of the perennial erosion. The deepest place is more than ten meters deep.

Maybe it’s because the air here is better. A high school in Winthrop town is located next to the fork of the river. The high school’s basketball gym is only a few dozen meters away from the river and far away from the populated areas. The place is so close, obviously, this fork of the river is not a good place for fishing, but for Philemon and the others, safety is the most important thing.
