My Ranch

Chapter 186: The idea of ​​giving gifts

Welcome. When Jiang Hai entered the supermarket, because it was just noon, everyone here was eating there. There were a group of seven people, including two salesmen and four people wearing security clothes. In addition to being responsible for the security here, you also need to move and replenish goods in the supermarket. Apart from these staff, there are only two people who look like outsiders, a middle-aged man who looks like he is in his forties. Many years old, sitting there in casual clothes, there was also the old man who tricked Jiang Hai into buying local chicken last time. When he saw Jiang Hai come in, there was an old man wearing waiter's clothes who was sitting there eating. The girl stood up immediately and said to Jiang Hai, and upon hearing her words, other people here also turned their heads.

Oh, it's you, little brother. Have you finished eating the chicken? When he saw it was Jiang Hai, it was obvious that the old man here still had some impression of Jiang Hai, so he couldn't help but smile and talk. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

No, they are raising eggs. Jiang Hai responded as he walked towards the supermarket.

Raising to lay eggs? Hey... you young people just don't understand and cherish it. Only these little native chickens that have never laid eggs can make delicious chicken stew. The meat is firm and firm, just like a woman. It's no longer valuable after you have given birth to a child, cough...Xiao Liu, I'm sorry. Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man here subconsciously followed suit, but after saying this, he remembered that there was someone else beside him There was a girl, so Chan said with a smile, but the girl was also embarrassed and her face turned red.

You think I don't know that chicken nuggets are delicious? The problem is that I don't know how to make them. I heard the old man say. Jiang Hai then said.

You don't know how to do it, but you still buy it... After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the uncle here couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts.

I'm not fooled by you. Jiang Hai looked at the old man in front of him with contempt, making the old man feel a little embarrassed. I couldn't help but rub my nose and laugh.

Ahem, if you didn't know how to do it at first, could you still go back... Although he looked embarrassed, he still said without confidence.

Forget it, I have enclosed a piece of land for them in my manor. I usually feed them some food, plus they find bugs and other things to eat on their own, so they live quite well. I eat the eggs they lay. It's still delicious, much better than the eggs you buy here. He smiled. Although Jiang Hai didn't eat those chickens, Jiang Hai liked to eat the eggs they laid.

After all, the grass in his place has been sprinkled with his blood and is an improved variety, so the grass-eating bugs in the grass are naturally improved varieties. These chickens ate these bugs, and the eggs they laid not only had the smell of eggs and grass, but also were particularly refreshing. They tasted quite good, and Jiang Hai knew it even without checking. The nutrition inside was extremely rich. Since he didn't buy a rooster to collect the eggs, those eggs couldn't hatch chicks. Jiang Hai ate with peace of mind.

Hey, you're quite good at it. The eggs from free-range chickens are not much cheaper than chickens. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the uncle here also nodded appreciatively. Indeed, even one free-range egg is worth it. It sells for about one yuan, and even if one is laid every two or three days, more than a hundred can be laid in a year. In this way, the chicken money is returned, and the old hen will not be wasted, and it is still good for making soup.

Come here and prepare to buy something! Maybe he felt a little guilty. When he saw Jiang Hai walking in, the old man here also stood up and prepared to introduce Jiang Hai with a smile.

Dad, let me greet the guests! Seeing the old man standing up, the middle-aged man over there also stood up and said eagerly.

Just eat quickly. You have to go to school soon. This kid always knows how to cause trouble. I can still eat when I'm hungry. Just don't get up. Come on, young man, let's come over here. Looking at the people in front of him. Jiang Hai, the old man came over with a smile.

Nodding to the middle-aged man over there, Jiang Hai walked to the cargo area here. As soon as he came over, the old man asked him. It was obvious that this old man was not interesting in normal times. He likes to talk a lot, I want to buy something this time.

Isn't this the Chinese New Year? I returned to China a few days ago, but the express delivery has not been delivered yet. But when I come back this time, I must at least give some gifts to the workers in my manor, right? I miss you. The things here are relatively complete, so come and take a look. Jiang Hai explained while scanning the items on the shelves.

Well, it's true that it's not easy to go back to China. You have to bring something back, but you don't know that they don't really give gifts. Even at Christmas, only relatives give gifts. They want it. When it comes to things, we pay more attention to practicality, rather than price or origin. After all, the old man has spent much longer in the United States than Jiang Hai, so he naturally knows more.

When American people give gifts, most of the things ordinary people give are very practical or very cheap.

There is no such thing as politeness here. If you send the wrong thing, they will really turn their backs.

And the most important thing is that they basically don't return gifts, which makes many Chinese people uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Jiang Hai doesn't care about this. He just hopes that these people can work hard for him, and the rest doesn't matter.

Giving things mainly depends on who you are gifting them to. Men, women, blacks, whites, South Americans, Asians, all different countries and races. They are all very particular. If you really can't make up your mind, That's right, I'll give you a wine rack, which is one of the most default things here. Looking at Jiang Hai who was listening carefully, the old man started talking nonstop.

Jiang Hai also made some calculations in his mind. Most of the people in Jiang Hai's manor are white people, including Robbins Garcia, Burke Dahler, Harriman Fells, Bell Lester, and Ed. Hua Anderson, Tommy Charles, Marlon Rupert are all white, these people are all white, Philemon Turner and Enol Ceci are black, and Andrew Christian is Hispanic. .

That being said, the things I prepared cannot all be the same.

If he is a white man, tell him where his ancestral origin is. If he is of British descent, you give him black tea. He must like it very much. If he is a descendant of other countries, such as Ireland, France, etc., you give him black tea. Give him coffee and cheese, he will like it very much. If you are a black person, you will give them coffee and oatmeal, and they will be very happy. Of course, give them some handicrafts, such as this Chinese Festival, and they will also be very happy. If it is Latin America, On the side, I recommend you to give this to Lao Ganma, they love this thing so much, but apart from this thing, you can take care of other food! In fact, to be honest, I also have it when I come to the United States. In more than ten years, I really haven’t seen too many foreigners who like to eat our authentic Chinese food, and most of them eat improved food. The old man said while introducing Jiang Hai. These things in front of you.

And his words also made Jiang Hai, who originally wanted to send some red sausages, barbecued pork and the like, pause for a moment.

Indeed, he has been in the United States for a while. It is impossible to say that he does not want Chinese food, but he has also eaten at the Huaxia Restaurant here. The taste of the food is quite wrong. There are a lot of Chinese food on the streets here. Restaurant.

Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine are the two main series. In addition, there are some Shandong cuisine, mixed with restaurants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

However, the taste of the food in these restaurants is really similar to the food in Jiang Hai.

The Americans don't want to eat salty things, nor do they want to eat bones, so basically all freshwater fish dishes are not suitable for them.

Their taste is sweet and sour, and the acid is not acetic acid, but the acid of Western red wine. The taste is a bit Cantonese cuisine, but it is heavier and more sour than Cantonese cuisine. If we say It sounds like a combination of Cantonese cuisine and Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine.

Even though Jiang Hai's favorite dish is pot-roasted pork, to be honest, he is not used to the American imperial Chinese cuisine.

But this kind of taste is the favorite food of people here in the United States. No matter where you do business, insisting on authenticity is not the way to make a fortune. Especially in the catering industry, catering to the tastes of locals is the most important thing. , even in Jiang Hai's eyes, this is no longer Chinese food, it only has its shape but not its taste.

This is why Jiang Haining is willing to eat steak and fried cod strips at home every day, even though he will get tired of them.

What about the wine? After looking around, Jiang Hai found that there were a lot of Chinese wines in the store. Although the prices were much more expensive than domestic ones, Jiang Hai still asked because he couldn't buy them either. The less wine will be delivered by courier.

They won't like to drink our wine. Speaking of which, the Westerners who like to drink our wine the most are Lao Maozi. They especially like to drink our high-altitude wine. From your accent, you should be from the Northeast. , then you should know! After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man waved his hand and said with disdain.

When Westerners drink, they prefer to drink drinks that are smooth in the mouth, such as the four major base wines. No matter how strong the wine is, it burns and tumbles in the stomach. It has to taste good, but Chinese wine has more of a soy smell in the mouth. When it enters the stomach, it is warm and comfortable. Of course, there are also pure spicy ones like burning a knife, but Drinking that kind of wine is not good for your health. Generally, light-flavored wine and sauce-flavored wine are not like this.

Therefore, most Westerners do not like Chinese wine, except for Lao Maozi, that is, people from Soviet Russia.

Jiang Hai had heard about it before. Because the Heilong Province where Bingcheng is located is only separated from Lao Maozi by a river, Lao Maozi often comes to Huaxia from the port to drink. Jiang Hai even heard that in 8 and 8, In the 1990s, a bottle of Northeastern old wine, the kind that cost a few yuan, could be exchanged for three purebred Caucasians at the border. At that time, one of these dogs would be sold for two when they came back.

, 300 yuan, you can also directly exchange such wine for gold. When gold costs 80 yuan per gram, a bottle of wine can be exchanged for two or three grams. It is really a good deal. Of course, there are many risks in it. , if someone is being gangstered, or provokes someone from the opposite side, and is beaten to death, then his death will be in vain, and no one will stand up for you.
