Chapter 73
Chapter 73
It is said that people in the East are willing to flatter. In fact, flattering is a common feature of human beings. Don't think that people in the United States, who are big and rough, call freedom, democracy and power all day, won't flatter.
Now they eat and live in Jiang Hai, and they earn Jiang Hai's money. Of course, they have to work.
However, in the current environment of Meidi, in order to keep their current job, they will flatter Jiang Hai on some minor matters, such as food, which they are slowly improving.
Mrs. Philemon, who was a pure housewife, had a lot of time because she didn't need to go out to make money.
What she needs to do every day is actually very simple. In the morning, she gets up and prepares breakfast. In the morning, she goes to the vegetable field behind Jianghai villa to have a look. Meidi people really don't eat just now. There are only three ways to eat vegetables here. The first one is raw, such as carrots, lettuce, xihongjian, cucumbers and so on Their favorite.
In addition, it can be steamed. The most famous one is mashed potatoes. After steaming, mashed potatoes can be made into mud, and then some things can be added. Of course, in addition to potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and so on, mashed potatoes can also be made into mud.
The third is fried food. There is no other way to eat it except these three ways.
So in Meidi's supermarket, except Huaxia supermarket, the number of dishes sold is not very small, but most of them are different from domestic dishes. For example, in the supermarket of Winthrop where Jiang Hai once visited, there are many dishes that Jiang Hai didn't know.
For example, the most famous basil is a kind of vegetable as well as a kind of spice. The rest are common vegetables here, such as parsley, leek, cabbage, water spinach, beet, water spinach, kohlrabi (it's the domestic mustard, but it's not salted here), Saposhnikovia, and rhubarb. In a word, I like to eat vegetables If you come to Meidi, if you don't have a Huaxia supermarket, you may be starving to death.
There is a small vegetable garden behind Jiang Hai's villa, but Jiang Hai doesn't grow vegetables. Compared with meat, he doesn't like to eat vegetables very much, so he doesn't care too much about the vegetable garden. Now this small vegetable garden is taken care of by Mrs. Philip Meng. Of course, it's cold now, and she has collected all the vegetables that should be collected. She's waiting to plant them next year.
Today, the Philemon family specially cooked eight dishes, including fruit, appetizer, main dish and soup. The soup is naturally the most famous Cheddar soup near Boston, which is made with shellfish from yesterday.
These shellfish are cold water seashells, and the taste is quite good. A fruit salad is inevitable. In terms of vegetables, there are fried vegetables, including raw flowers, cauliflower, eggplant, carrots and so on, and a plate of mashed potatoes. However, according to the habits of people in the United States, mashed potatoes basically taste sour and sweet But because of Jiang Hai, this mashed potato tastes salty when it is made.
In addition to these four dishes, the remaining four dishes are all meat dishes.
The main course of course is steak. Today, Jiang Hai asked Burke Dale to cut the super grade beef. Of course, most of the super grade beef was left in Jiang Hai's freezer by Burke Dale. The super grade beef he cut is calculated according to the head, one pound per person. But even so, it makes these people happy. Besides these steaks, There are a lot of other steaks, but these steaks are of special grade. Although they are one grade lower, there is no dissatisfaction for the people here. It seems that it is a great gift to have dozens of US dollars a pound of beef.
You know, they only make about $100 a day.
The rest of the meat was not very suitable for making steak, and Mrs. Philemon did not let it go. Instead, she stewed a large pot of beef soup with basil in it, which was delicious in Jiang Hai.
In addition to these two beef dishes, the rest is seafood. The fish picked up yesterday is divided into two pieces. The bone in the middle is shaved off, and then fried on both sides. Then lemon juice is used to remove the fishy smell. The taste is sour and sweet, with the sweet smell of fish in it. It's still very good.
Another seafood is shrimp and crab brought by Jiang Hai. These fresh seafood don't need much processing. They can be eaten after boiling with salt water. They are specially for the sweet smell.
In fact, the same seafood, the location is different, the price is not the same.
As everyone knows, warm and tropical fish are more abundant and grow faster than those in cold zone. But the four major fishing grounds in the world, except Peru, are all fishing grounds in the northern hemisphere, whether it's the North Sea fishing ground, Hokkaido fishing ground or Newfoundland fishing ground close to Jiang Hai's Manor. Of course, Newfoundland is finished now, but it can't be changed In fact, the current fishing industry is mainly in the northern hemisphere, even in the frigid zone.
Even in China, the shipment volume may be higher in the south, but when it comes to delicious food, it has to be said that it is from the north.
There are also reasons for this. First, in the north, it is cold water fish. When it is cooled, the fish will not grow fast. In the south, it takes two years, three years, or even four or five years for the fish to grow in a year. The accumulation of these four or five years will naturally make the fish taste better.Second, in order to avoid the surface cold in winter, the fish prefer to go to the deep sea. The water pressure in the deep sea is higher. When the pressure outside is higher, the fish will be more compact. The same fish and shrimp in the South may be larger than those in the north, but the taste in the north is slightly better than that in the south. Jiang Hai used to live in ice city, although not close to the sea, But as a foodie, he also has a lot of research on this aspect.
These shrimps and crabs Jiang Hai catches now are all marine products from his fishing ground, which have grown naturally for ten years. The taste is sweet with fresh, fresh with sweet, plus the taste of Shanghai Ocean, which makes the meat very compact. Even Moses Adams, who has met many people in the world, also eats them with flying eyebrows. As a lawyer, although he may pay attention to his own appearance in his ordinary time Watch, but as he said, he is just a tool. In order to earn the money of those rich people, he can naturally sit on the western food table in a dignified manner, wearing a tuxedo, like a gentleman, tasting red wine in a small mouth, cutting steak, and in the next second, he can also become a market hooligan, eating large pieces of meat and drinking heavily.
It is the most important thing for a service industry like him to win the favor of employers.
Of course, it also depends on whether he has the strength. Obviously, in his eyes, Jiang Hai is a person with strength.
As a lawyer, Moses Adams can't drink when handling a case. However, after the case is handled, there is no need to socialize, so the amount of drinking is very good. As for Robbins, Burke Dale and other people, they are all at the level of wine barrel. Even now Jiang Hai's physical quality has been improved After reaching the limit of human beings, there is no way to compare the alcohol tolerance of the body. So after mixing red, white and beer, it was not long before Jiang Hai felt that his head was a little misty. After shaking his head, Jiang Hai decided to flash first and go outside to get some air.
Three steps to the outside of the villa, looking at the stars outside, blowing slightly salty sea breeze, Jiang Hai also felt his spirit, to be better, at this time, it seems that there are some quarrels, floating into his ears.
Jiang Hai frowned at the sound of the quarrel, because he could probably hear that one of the two quarrels came from Burke Dale, an employee of his manor, and the other was a female voice. But in his manor, there was only filimenta, a female voice. Obviously, it was the voice of a young woman, which was similar to filimenta It's too big to hit.
So, it's only the girl that Moses Adams brought in just now.
"What's the matter?" Thinking of this, Jiang Hai's spirit suddenly improved a lot. In fact, he knew that there was something wrong with him when he was quarreling outside in the dark. Was it Burke Dale's brain? If so, he would be in trouble. Although Moses Adams was flattering himself now, he was not a pimp. If he really did, he would be in trouble What's the matter? Jiang Hai's wine is 80% awake at this time.
With the subtle voice, Jiang Hai's five senses reached the extreme. According to the direction of the sound, he quickly walked towards the back of the house. Sure enough, not far from the back of the house, Jiang Hai saw Burke Dale and the girl brought by Moses Adams in the moonlight. However, looking at them, there was at least two or three meters between them, and they were very close Clothes are not messy, and there are no misunderstandings. Jiang Hai put his heart back to his stomach for a while, but then he became interested in these two people who came here alone in the middle of the night to say something. Although Jiang Hai is a man, sometimes he is a gossip. Now he doesn't say much, so he turns and hides in the corner Look at the scene in front of you.
"Penelope, when did you come back to Boston? You didn't tell me. I've written to you for so many years, and I don't know if your mother showed you..." At this time, the two men in the moonlight did not notice the existence of Jiang Hai. Burke Dale looked at Penelope, who looked like a piece of ice in front of him. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and said in a deep voice. It seemed that this guy really had something to do with the girl.
"Show me what? Look how poor my father is? How hopeless? It's really hard for me to imagine what you were like when my mother and I left, what you are like now, what you let me tell you. "Hearing Burke Dale's words, the woman opposite raised her head and said coldly.
