My Ranch

Come on, dinner is ready! Holding a plate of lobster, Jiang Hai walked to the table with a smile, and said to the three girls who had been waiting here for a long time with a smile on his face. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, this Sandy Clive, Darlene and Marianne all ran to the kitchen to help Jiang Hai with food. After a while, the big table was full of food.

Jiang Hai used to know how to cook, otherwise he would not have starved to death during the year he stayed at home.

But because he had money later on, and he was also lazy and didn’t want to start a fire at home, so he gave Mrs. Philemon some money and went to her to eat every day, but he would still have breakfast by himself. made.

But sometimes, it's not easy for him to go to Mrs. Philemon's house for dinner, such as the current situation.

He took Darlene and Marianne with him, that's still possible, but Mrs. Philemon might not feel any inconvenience if he took Sandy Clive with him, but Sandy Clive Husband will feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, he was going to pick up his previous slightly suffocating craftsmanship and cook a meal.

Fortunately, Western food is not too difficult, er, of course, it means that Jiang Hai's Western food is not too difficult.

He made a total of four dishes, baked lobster with cheese, steamed abalone with garlic vermicelli, braised sea cucumber, and fried steak.

These four dishes are actually not difficult to make. Baked lobster with cheese is very simple. First, use a drill to insert the lobster caught by Jiang Hai yesterday into the tail. This is to urinate, and then knock the lobster to death. It's almost like knocking a fish.

Then open the head and tail, throw away all the claws on the body, there is no meat in these.

Then cut the tail of the lobster with the most meat from the vertical line in the middle, and marinate it with salt, wine, ginger juice, etc.

Put it in the oven until half cooked. After taking it out, spread cheese and bread crumbs on top, and then sprinkle some pepper on the top, then put it in the oven to melt the cheese, and that's it. Of course, Boston lobster is different from ordinary lobsters in that it also has a lot of meat in its two large pincers, which need to be cracked open and can be eaten.

Steamed abalone with garlic vermicelli is also very simple. First, soak the vermicelli. These were bought by Jiang Haihai at the old man's shop once. Otherwise, it is not easy to buy fans in the United States, and the people in the United States do not like this game very much.

Then wash the abalone, dig out the abalone meat with a knife, and throw away the abalone's internal organs.

Make a few cuts on the top of the abalone, but don't cut it off. It can be cut into patterns like kidney flowers, then put the vermicelli into the abalone shell, put the abalone on top, turn on the fire to fry the garlic that has been made into garlic residue, and then put some steamed fish in tempeh.

Then spread the stir-fried ingredients on top of the abalone, put it in a steamer and steam for five to six minutes, and then put it on top according to your own taste. You can sprinkle some shallots, chili powder and the like, and pour boiling oil on it, and it will be considered done.

The finished abalone is delicious, but the taste is not too strong. In fact, Jiang Hai dug such a big abalone, it would be a waste to eat it like this, but Jiang Hai doesn't care, because he has these things here. .

Roasted sea cucumber with scallions is a very homely dish in China, but generally speaking, dried sea cucumbers are used. For example, there are not many fresh sea cucumbers used by Jiang Hai, but only Jiang Hai has this resource. After all, fresh sea cucumbers are exposed to It disappeared in the air within ten hours.

And Jiang Hai ate these things within a few hours, so he dared to use fresh sea cucumbers.

As for the final fried steak, it is relatively untechnical. There are two main aspects of steak, one is heat, and the other is marinating. Jiang Hai’s steaks are all chilled, and Mrs. Philemon helps him marinate Well, as for the heat, he only eats well-cooked ones.

Darlene and Marianne don't have any objections to this. They didn't like steak in the past, but now they don't care how well done it is, and Sandy Clive doesn't care. To be precise, she likes it too. Eat well cooked.

The four dishes, although they don't look like much, are definitely big enough. The lobster weighs eight or nine catties. The sea cucumber Jiang Hai used at least half a catty. The half catty abalone was steamed by Jiang Hai Eight, two for each person, and steak, I really care about enough, about three or two pieces, he made ten yuan, just with him and three women, it is not easy to finish eating.

Come, let's serve! After putting everything on the table, Jiang Hai also shouted, let's serve.

He doesn't believe in Christ, so naturally they don't know how to pray before dinner.

Following Jiang Hai's order, Darlene and Marianne immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Originally, these two girls didn't know how to use chopsticks, but with Jiang Hai around, they would know how to use chopsticks even if they couldn't.

Facts have proved that these children are indeed very smart. It took a few months to make them look good. Maybe some difficult things like beans are still troublesome, but ordinary things , is still not a problem.

As for Sandy Clive, it is not the first time to eat here, so naturally she will not be restrained.

By the way, have you read that notebook? What is it written in. After killing a large piece of steak in a few bites, picking up nearly a third of the lobster tail with a chopstick, and eating a huge abalone, Jiang Hai's stomach calmed down temporarily, so he turned his head, looked at Sandy Clive and asked, Sandy Clive also knew that Jiang Hai had such a temperament.

So he didn't care about his ladylike image, and started talking while eating the lobster meat on his plate.

I probably understand that the person who wrote this diary is John Wiltord, a British naval lieutenant commander. The things recorded on it should be during the Second War of Independence.

Hearing what Sandy Clive said, it was similar to what Jiang Hai thought, and Jiang Hai couldn't help asking: Is it written in English?

Yes, but it's normal if you can't understand it, because this is not the English you are learning now, but traditional English, which is somewhat similar to ancient Chinese? Well, this description may not be correct, but it is similar. See Seeing Jiang Hai's puzzled gaze, Sandy Clive explained with a smile.

It turns out that English is not from the emergence. Even as it is now, English is constantly evolving and evolving.

Until now, English also has two branches, one is British and the other is American.

In fact, it sounds like Jiang Hai. The words between the two are similar, but in fact, in some small grammar and details, British and American English have obvious branches, as if they are both Northeast dialect, Liao Province and Heilong Province, just totally different.

It might look a bit like it to outsiders. But the locals can clearly distinguish them.

What is written in this notebook is English, but it is not the current English, but the unsimplified British English two hundred years ago. know each other. But the consciousness is a little unclear.

It's written like this... I probably explained it to Jiang Hai. Sandy Clive also ate about the same, so she picked up the notebook and talked to Jiang Hai. In her explanation, Jiang Hai I also probably understand the story.

Speaking of the War of Independence, most people will think of the eight-year war between 1775 and 1783. It is precisely because of these eight-year wars that they became independent countries in the world. Get rid of the colonial rule of Britain, France and other countries.

But what most people don't know is that the US imperialists actually fought once, the second war of independence.

The time took place from 1812 to 1815. Speaking of this period of history, it is not very glorious, because there is no winner in the end.

The cause of the war was that Napoleon, the dwarf in Europe, wanted to unify Europe when he was invincible. At that time, all the European countries were withered, but only the old man of Tsarist Russia refused to accept it. When the dwarf saw it, I would fuck you if you refused !

Then he went to look for Lao Maozi, and in the end he suffered a disastrous defeat under the ice and snow of Lao Maozi. At first, the Europeans saw his defeat, yo, so you are not that good! When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the wall falls, people pile up.

Then the European side entered the stage of the Napoleonic Wars. People's brains were beaten into dog brains, and there was a black smoke.

In the end, the dwarf lost, and the Second War of Independence broke out at this time. They also wanted a piece of the pie, but they didn't dare to go to Europe, so they set their sights on the neighboring, more developed countries. On Canada, want to occupy Canada.

And Canada is the territory of the United Kingdom, so naturally they would not agree, and the two sides started doing it like this. Originally, the Americans thought that Napoleon could stand up for a while in Europe. A large number of troops were put into the battlefield. As a result, on the northern front, the British played triumphant songs all the way. The first to occupy Maine was Maine, and Massachusetts was not spared. up.

However, because the front line was too long, the army landed in the south was defeated by the US military in several battles.

Finally, in 1815, the two sides ceased fighting and the border was restored.

And the protagonist of this notebook was the captain of a supply ship in the British Navy at that time. When he came this time, apart from the basic supplies, there was only one thing on the ship, the military salary, because at that time the war in Europe, Money is naturally extremely chaotic, only hard currency, gold coins and silver coins are collected by soldiers, and there are too many silver coins.

So this time, he was ordered to escort a hundred boxes of gold coins to the American emperor and hand them over to these expeditionary soldiers. However, when the ship arrived, the US military counterattacked. In order to keep these gold coins and escape for his life, he ordered these Boxes of gold coins were thrown into the ocean at that time, and then they fled quickly, and then fished them up later, but he must have never thought that his ship was sunk by the U.S. military, and the U.S. military found nothing on his ship. , and he also disappeared forever with this secret.

It was not until two hundred years later that Jiang Hai, who wanted to eat abalone, got it.

One hundred boxes! Guru, this time it's developed. Listening to Sandy Clive's story, Jiang Hai's mouth became more and more grinning... (To be continued.)
