Chapter 80: After Returning Home (2)
The snow on Brookings' side is different from Harvard's.
A thin layer had just been piled up, but it soon melted away, leaving only the shady side of the hill and the forest with a little white.
With family and employees by his side, it was a lot more fun than in school, and at this moment he helped throw the freshwater fish into the back car, and when he saw his father cut off the head of a big fish, Zhang Xiaokai asked, "Are you going to make fish head soup?"
"Yes, I haven't drunk fish soup for a long time, and I didn't know that there were still big-headed silver carp living in the river, so I was really lucky. ”
Throw the fish body into the car body, in fact, you can eat it, but the taste is not too good, Daddy Zhang's cooking skills are average, and he is not sure to make braised fish.
Mr. Kenny is still the same.
After being exposed to the wind and sun in the wild for a long time, his skin has darkened, but his body has become stronger because of long-term work.
"It's very simple, put it in the oil pan and fry it for a while, put the green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and then put the water to simmer for about half an hour, and the fish soup will be very white in color. ”
"Remember to save a little for me to taste, my grandmother used to make fish soup, but she didn't use this freshwater fish, so it tasted a little strange. Kenny laughs, grabs a handful of hay and wipes his hands, and gets into the car to pull the bucket of dead fish away.
Soon it will be the fishing season of Dungeness crabs, and it is quite good to feed the crabs, and the bigger the size, the higher the price.
Maintaining a cooperative relationship with Wal-Mart, they took all the Dungeness crabs last year, and they have built and operated Cleveland Ranch as a brand, which has made a lot of fame, especially in the high-end restaurant industry.
Take the fish head home and prepare the fish head soup.
Scrape off the scales, cut off a small piece of fish meat and feed it to the fat cat Tom, Zhang Xiaokai washed rice and cooked rice on the side, washed a few tomatoes by the way, and prepared to scrambled eggs later.
The big fish head made a sizzling sound, and his father complained: "I should have asked someone to separate the dining room from the kitchen, when I built this kind of open kitchen, I must have not considered the feelings of us Chinese, it would be great to cover it with glass around it, otherwise the smoke and food smell will always drift upstairs." ”
"There should be people in the town who can be renovated, I rarely meet white or black students who like to eat rice at school, and I occasionally meet some Koreans in the Chinese restaurant, and I say that I have a lot of them. I once asked a student what whale meat tasted like, and he thought I was mocking him and walked away angrily. ”
Zhang Xiaokai has seen many whales, but he has never eaten a whale, he is really just curious.
"Haha! You can't ask these questions, it's like inviting black people to eat watermelon, but they're really emotionally sensitive, and they think about racism in everything, so I've always thought that black people are the hardest to deal with, and it's hard to talk to each other. ”
After thinking back for a moment, Zhang Xiaokai found that he had no black friends either, so he only said: "It's really strange, maybe they also think we Chinese are strange." ”
……
The smell of fish head soup prompted the big white bear sleeping at the door of the bathroom to wake up.
Dozing off and being stunned for a while, then I got up and went out to solve my physiological problems, and the cold wind poured in, and the first floor, which finally warmed up, became cold and swishing again.
The firewood in the fireplace was burning vigorously, and the red panda was sleeping on its stomach, next to the fat cat who had just finished eating fish and kept licking its paws.
Outside the window, you can still see a fat pig with a free head, trotting away from a smoke, and I don't know where it went.
The pig was kept as a pet and may one day become pork belly, and it was not close to people, so the father and son did not have much affection for it, and only treated it as a "spare ration".
If one day there is no beef or mutton at home, or if you suddenly want to eat pork, it will be unlucky, and no one will care about it for the time being.
The fish head soup is still stewed here, and the fragrance spreads everywhere.
In another pan, scrambled eggs with tomatoes have already been made, and the father and son eat it, and one soup and one dish are enough.
Mocha, the white spirit bear, was squatting there drooling.
When I was a child, I learned a lot of bad things from those sheepdogs, and I haven't changed them until now, and I don't bark like other bears, but I like to "whoa!", which sounds similar to a dog's bark, but the sound is lower.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaokai didn't play with him, he quickly stretched his waist and moved his muscles, ran to the sofa and turned on the TV by himself.
The lunch is not sumptuous, and the taste can only be said to be barely do, the soup is light, and the eggs are salty.
After eating, I went out to the resort, which is located on the coast, and you can see the dirt that has been turned over, and the wooden houses have not yet begun to be painted, and it will take about three months before the construction period is completed and the official opening of business will begin.
A small wooden house is a room for rent, the shape is more exquisite, the interior decoration in the design drawings is also good-looking, the future is mainly rented to come to long-term vacation, or come here to fish fishing enthusiasts, it is good to make money, even if it does not make money, it doesn't matter, it can be used as a dormitory for employees, the temperature has been quite good from spring to autumn, but it is a little cold in winter.
There are no plans for large-scale development, and this bit of land is nothing to the Cleveland Ranch, as long as you don't run into bastards with bad brains, it won't affect the day-to-day operation of the ranch.
My home has grown from a small house to such a big one, and I must have a sense of accomplishment, so I walked around the resort and continued to return to my warm home.
The cattle and sheep are sold, the fishery is also recuperating, this season is not busy, some employees also take turns to take leave to go out to play, little Patrick will take his wife and children to Hawaii at this time, but there are children who need to be taken care of, presumably the journey will not be too comfortable.
Father Zhang was also sitting on the sofa in the living room, and suddenly asked Zhang Xiaokai a question: "Son, have you met the girl you like at school or where?"
“???”
Zhang Xiaokai raised his head, unable to figure out why he asked himself this question.
He continued: "You are not young anymore, if you meet the right girl, you can try to pursue it, and do you still have contact with Adlina Lambold?"
Contact occasionally, but not as often as before.
Zhang Xiaokai said speechlessly: "She is only twelve years old, and I am only fourteen years old, so it's too early to talk about this issue." ”
Just asked casually, Daddy Zhang nodded and didn't talk more, but asked when he would go back to school, saying that he had booked the ticket in advance.
Set to leave the day after tomorrow.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we have winter break coming up next month, so there's not much resistance to going back to school, and I'm going to be back after the holiday next month.
I didn't travel last year, so I want to go somewhere this winter.
After coming up with the idea, we discussed going to Hawaii or traveling to Europe, and finally decided on Australia.
