I don't know which great man said that it is very important to eat well and be full, so that the troops can have combat effectiveness!

Zhang Nan has always kept this sentence in mind, although he is not the leader of the army, but he still has more than a dozen guys with guns at home!

Americans eat relatively healthy, but this standard is also said by "experts", anyway, Zhang Nan doesn't agree with it very much - just from the most common steaks, he can't eat seven or five medium-rare steaks, and he must be fully cooked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, when I go out to eat, he won't make any jokes about bringing me a medium-rare steak, and I still know a little bit about the simplest Western food.

A Chinese boss and a bunch of Americans, which makes Chef Andy Lew busy!

Since he has a private chef, Zhang Nan is no longer willing to nibble on bread as a snack, but it will be crazy if he is a staple food every day!

Nowadays, Zhang Nan must have rice as the staple food for lunch and dinner, and only have some bread and milk for breakfast, and it is best to have a bowl of porridge with some pickles and poached eggs. Although the taste of Thai rice here is a little different from that of hometown rice, it is okay.

Thai Rice Premium?

This is basically a view accepted by many people, but this person always likes the taste of his hometown, and Zhang Nan is a staunch supporter of local food.

As for Zhang Nan's hatred of the Americans' habit of eating lettuce, he absolutely does not allow anything raw on his plate, and this is a solemn reminder to the chef, otherwise the chef will bear the consequences!

Everything is available in the kitchen, from all kinds of meat to seafood and vegetables from the sea, which are delivered by the delivery company every day, and Andy Lew only needs to go to the supermarket in town every other day.

As soon as Zhang Nan and the three of them entered the huge restaurant, the food had not yet been served on the long table, but there were already several bodyguards sitting there.

"Boss, Nicole, Miss Jenny..."

After greeting each other, Zhang Nan sat down at the long table, with two beauties on the left and right, and the positions of the bodyguards were lined up along the left and right sides of the dining table.

As soon as I sat down, I felt awkward, and in less than a minute, I stood up and said to a middle-aged black woman who was helping in the restaurant, "Rosa, help me change the tableware." ”

Regardless of the image, he walked to Nicole's side with his back chair, and said to Jackson on the other side: "Jackson, do me a favor, move a little to the side, I'm not comfortable sitting there." ”

The head of the bodyguard got up with a smile and simply sat down opposite.

Why?

He saw Jenny approach, and the two of them changed seats.

Sitting in that position just now, Zhang Nan felt a bit like the Italian gang boss eating with his subordinates, and there are always these similar scenes and bridges in those mafia movies.

Zhang Nan's tableware is a little different from others, knives and forks are all there, but chopsticks and a small Chinese-style soup spoon are added.

When Rosa changed the tableware, she said to Zhang Nan with a guilty face: "I'm sorry Mr. Allen, I don't know your habits. ”

Zhang Nan smiled, "It's okay Rosa, it's that I didn't make it clear before, I don't like to sit in that parent's position, it makes me feel like an old man! Haha, it's obviously my youngest here, so I'm still more comfortable now." ”

Rosa was the first of the number one recommended servants by the housekeeping company and had served for nearly three decades in two traditionally wealthy American families. If you don't look at skin color and appearance, she is definitely the best maid.

Zhang Nan already has two beauties in his family, so this maid chooses an aunt to avoid trouble.

"By the way, Rosa, you and Andy don't need to eat at the small dining table in the kitchen, the rule in our house is that everyone eats together!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the extra-long dining table in front of him, "There is enough space." ”

Rosa pushed it off, but in the end, at Zhang Nan's strong request, she went to bring chairs and cutlery.

The old rule of the Western big family that the master and the servant do not eat together reminded Zhang Nan of a bad habit that still exists in his hometown: women don't serve at the table!

In the 80s, there were still many rural women who had this habit: when a guest came, they cooked a meal for the men and guests of the family, but hid in the kitchen and casually pulled a meal.

Zhang Nan has seen this situation many times, and he feels really awkward!

It's fun when everyone eats, why do you have to divide people into grades?

Soon all the people in the small manor in the restaurant will come, and there is only one bodyguard who is still on duty in the monitoring room, and Rosa will bring him dinner.

Seeing that Zhang Nan changed seats, and the chefs and servants were also sitting together, the bodyguards just felt that the boss was approachable, and such an employer was easy to serve.

Waiting for Rosa and Miranda, another black maid, to put all the prepared meals on the long table, Zhang Nan was the first to start.

This can also be regarded as a signal: except for the plate of braised sea bream, which was placed directly in front of Zhang Nan's eyes, each person first divided a piece of fish of about the same size on the plate, and all other food, wine, and drinks were lined up in the middle of the table.

I said in advance that you can stand up and walk to get it, so as not to hand it back and forth, Zhang Nan doesn't have so many rules: the dining table is too long!

The pieces of fish were probably oven-baked, presumably the same snappers he caught with Davis. You can smell the unique fragrance from the side of the seat, and what spices should be added.

Zhang Nan poured himself a small half cup of ordinary table wine, and after tasting the taste of braised fish, he saluted Andy Lu, "The craftsmanship is good!"

This reassured the chef: the owner complimented and the others were clearly very happy with the food they had prepared!

Out of politeness, everyone took out the grilled fish pieces from their plates, and several bodyguards praised the chef's skill.

The next scene is interesting: Jackson is the first to stand up, open a rice cooker in the corner of the table, and fill the plate with a plate full of rice!

Then I went to a large insulated pot in the middle of the table, poured a large spoonful of braised beef and broth over the rice with a large spoon, and then sandwiched five or six blanched broccoli on the side.

Bring it back to your seat and eat it with a big spoon!

It's not strange for one person, but it's strange for all bodyguards to do this!

They all ate "rice bowls", and no one even touched the fresh bread on the table.

Americans don't eat rice?

In fact, Americans sometimes eat rice, but fewer people have this habit.

"Jackson, do you like rice?"

Looking at the amazing eating speed of the bodyguard leader, Zhang Nan had to express his admiration!

"I liked it when I was in Vietnam..."

"Oh. ”

After listening to Jackson's words, Zhang Nan figured out a situation: the training center and headquarters of the Sun Security Company have canteens, and the chefs there have a unique job of pressing the bottom of the box, which is actually a tradition caused by laziness for many years - the training center is crowded, and sometimes there is training in the middle of the night, which can be compared with the special forces.

Many people will be hungry after training, and the chefs don't have the time to prepare supper for them: I don't know who came up with it, but there is always a big pot of warm rice, some cold bread and a pot of warm Chinese braised beef in the restaurant!

Between cold bread and hot rice, students usually choose rice, and there is not even an oven or microwave oven for it!

This tradition has been around since Jackson joined the Sun Company, and waves of chefs have inherited it, and to put it bluntly, it is actually to save trouble.

Now, not only Jackson, who has eaten rice in Vietnam for a few days, but also the people at Sun basically like this fast, salty food.

Because they knew that Andy Lu was proficient in Chinese cuisine, this Chinese braised beef bodyguard had already asked for it.

Most of the bodyguards have been in the army, don't think that Americans pay attention to healthy diets, the US military's food is abundant, they will not like Chinese food, for the rice bowl, which is nutritious and quick to eat, there are really people who like it.

Especially the men.

Zhang Nan also went to get some, it tasted good, although the broccoli with it was a little raw, but it was barely acceptable.

However, there is a bit of a problem with this beef: the food delivery company sent a relatively good grade of beef, and there is no tendon in it, and it is very tender!

"Andy, you have a problem with the ingredients of this braised beef, you shouldn't use this kind of high-end product, it's not chewy, you should use it..."

As a result, I couldn't say it for a long time, and I was stuck!

Zhang Nan's hometown dialect is very different from Mandarin, and the hometown dialect of that part of the cow's body is called "stuffy belly", how to translate it into English?

It took a long time for Andy to understand that the boss was referring to brisket.

This made him embarrassed: can this work?

"If you try it, you will know it, simmer on low heat, absolutely first-class!"

Zhang Nan came according to his own eating habits, and those bodyguards asked for more blessings.

......

On July 23, Xiang Weirong and others finally arrived in New York.

In addition to their own people, other people who came to the oil used the old way to deal with it, and directly arranged to travel to the United States for half a month, and they had a meal together to catch the wind. Wait for those people to come back after having fun, and then go to the luggage company to visit the business.

His own people lived in the Long Island Manor the next day, and his sister, brother-in-law and others had seen Zhang Nan's current pomp yesterday, and today they finally determined the super friendship relationship between the two American beauties and Zhang Nan, Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan both looked a little unbelievable.

However, although Zhang Hui is a woman, she is the most acceptable: her younger brother can live by herself, and she is willing to have two more American brothers-in-law as sisters-in-law.

"Anan, are you getting these bodyguards to defend your family?"

Privately, Xiang Weirong asked.

Zhang Nan shook his head, "No, my little money is not important to the family, but I was hired as soon as my brain was hot." But it's also necessary to see that anything can happen in the United States, and there are more guns than people. ”

"That's right, it's better to be on guard. ”

Xiang Weirong also asked the question of whether the bodyguard was unreliable, and Zhang Nan's explanation made his brother-in-law dispel his worries.

But there are still troubles, Guan Xingquan gave Zhang Nan a phone number in Huaxia: "This is the number given by the old man of the Jiang family, it is estimated that it is his family, and he said that he wanted to talk to you about Qionghai." ”

"It seems that Qionghai will be yellow if he is not careful!" Zhang Nan muttered in his heart. (To be continued.) )
