Xiao Peng didn't start the dinner: Martin and they insisted on letting Xiao Peng taste the flavor of their hometown, and Xiao Peng didn't want to correct their misunderstanding of Chinese cuisine, so he took this opportunity to be lazy, ran to the reef, and got down to business.

And Xiao Peng's so-called business is to study how to bring this California red abalone home.

Because red abalone is a subtropical species, it is difficult to adapt to the ecological conditions of the northern waters of China, so it cannot achieve large-scale aquaculture production, and in the coastal waters of southern China, it is not suitable for algae food, so it is impossible to carry out large-scale aquaculture.

But at the Thousand Miles Rock Fishery, none of this is a problem. Isn't it just the temperature? Isn't it just food?

But the big question is: how do you bring these California red abalone home?

According to Chinese regulations, aquatic animal products are prohibited from being brought into the country, and California red abalone, as an aquatic animal product, is prohibited from being carried or mailed into the country. Unless there is a valid quarantine permit and relevant inspection and quarantine certificates, but this is simply impossible for anyone to handle. And California red abalone is hardly used as dried abalone. Therefore, 99.99% of the California red abalone eaten in China is fake.

Xiao Peng was also worried, he still had to continue to travel, he couldn't bring this California red abalone back, he couldn't just say that he could just give them spiritual magic and let them climb over, right? According to the speed of California red abalone, when his grandson died, they might not be able to climb the Qianli Rock。。。。。。

Just when Xiao Peng was worried, a group of black figures appeared in front of Xiao Peng's mind clone, Xiao Peng looked happy, this is really thinking that Wang Ba is coming to the turtle, there is a way!

What appeared in Xiao Peng's field of vision was really a group of big kings! Oh no, it's sea turtles! The oldest reptile in the world: the loggerhead turtle! That is, the loggerhead sea turtle commonly known in China! Isn't this a ready-made bus?

Each loggerhead turtle carries some California red abalone on its back, and the red abalone is also marked with spiritual enlightenment. According to the migration speed of the loggerhead turtles, it will be a month to reach Qianliyan, and another good thing will be done, which is not bad.

Seeing the group of loggerhead turtles swimming into the distance, Xiao Peng was also relieved, Xiao Peng stretched his waist, and just wanted to go back, but heard someone on the side say, "Sir, can you keep the position just now and don't move?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, followed the prestige, and saw a girl sitting not far from him, wearing jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, a Yankees baseball cap, and a pair of sunglasses. I'm drawing with a sketchbook.,It seems like I'm using myself as a model.。

Xiao Peng smiled, sat back in his original position, and became a model for her.

In the Stars and Stripes, this situation is very common, many people will paint people, and if they think that the painting is good, they can directly pay for it, and it is also a kind of street performer. Xiao Peng is really not bad for money, with nearly three thousand meters of gold in his pocket and a check for one thousand. So tipping is still affordable.

After more than ten minutes passed, the girl put down her sketchbook: "Thank you, sir, you are a great model. After speaking, he shook hands with Xiao Peng and thanked him.

Xiao Peng looked at the girl, she was so tall, she was a little taller than herself, and Xiao Peng was a little embarrassed to hear the girl say this: "Don't call me sir, just call me Xiao Peng, can I take a look?"

The girl smiled and said, "Xiao Peng, a nice name, my name is Emilia, and I can make you laugh by drawing casually." After saying that, Emilia handed the sketchbook to Xiao Peng, and after Xiao Peng took it, she slowly flipped through it.

The sketchbook is full of landscapes, and it can be seen that the girl has a deep drawing skills. The lines are very skillful, painting the scenery of various places, Xiao Peng looked through them one by one, and finally saw himself in the last one, in the painting, he sat on the reef, staring at the sea, the sea breeze blew through his hair a little scattered, very expressive, and her signature was in the corner.

"Wow, I didn't even expect me to be so handsome. Xiao Peng looked at himself in the painting and quipped.

Emilia smiled, "If you like it." After speaking, he took the sketchbook from Xiao Peng's hand, tore off the page with Xiao Peng very carefully, and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Let's leave you a souvenir." ”

Xiao Peng took the portrait with both hands: "How can I thank you for this?"

Emilia shook her head: "It's nothing, it's a gesture, on the contrary, I also want to thank you, the way you sit here and think about it gives me the urge to paint." With that, Emilia put her sketchbook in her backpack. Xiao Peng noticed that Emilia was also carrying a backpack with a drawing board tied to the outside of the backpack, which was an art lover who came out to sketch.

Emilia picked up her backpack: "Xiao Peng, it's nice to know you, I'll go first." See you soon. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, why did he leave now? This is different from what he imagined? Under the ghost's divine request, Xiao Peng directly shouted: "Amilia, please wait a minute." ”

Emilia paused, "Anything else?"

Xiao Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "That's the case, our friends eat BBQ here together, are you interested in doing it together?" It's on the beach next to it, you see the big truck, right? That's my friends. ”

Emilia followed the direction of Xiao Peng's finger and saw Mrs. Martin, Emilia thought for a while, and had a smile on her face: "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

Xiao Peng waved the portrait in his hand and said, "This is to repay you for painting such a good picture for me." ”

"Then I think I should paint a few more of them, so I don't have to worry about eating. Emilia laughed.

The two of them went back to the truck together, and Mrs. Martin said, "Shaw, I was just about to call you, and you came back." Who is this?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Amilia, my friend I just met. Amilia, let me introduce you, this is Mrs. Martin, and this is 。。。。。。 Xiao Peng introduced several people to Emilia: "They are Taobao people from Idaho. ”

"Taobao people?" Emilia had never heard of such a profession, so Xiao Peng explained it to her, and Emilia suddenly realized. Mrs. Martin laughed and said, "Is there anything we can talk about while we eat?"

"Of course, I'm starving to death. Sean said.

Martin ruthlessly exposed his old bottom: "You let that California red abalone be greedy, right?"

Sean didn't deny it: "Yes, aren't you greedy?"

"Of course I'm not greedy。。。。。。 Let's all have a toast first, today is definitely the happiest day I've had in recent times, with money, good food, and good wine! God, if this is the way every day, I'd like to live to be 200 years old!" Martin shouted as he picked up his glass.

Let Martin set the mood, and everyone raised their glasses and drank. Emilia and Mrs. Martin clinked glasses with the group as they drank juice.

Mrs. Martin took two plates and handed them to Xiao Peng and Emilia respectively: "Taste my craftsmanship, of course, if it is not delicious, you should not bring it up in front of me." Okay?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. Martin, even if it's poison, I will eat it all over at all!"

When Martin heard this, he shouted, "Xiao, what do you mean? My wife's cooking skills are the best in the world!"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, in order to apologize, I will eat more as punishment." ”

"You think beautifully!" said everyone in unison.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin bought a lot of vegetables, beef, and the like to roast and eat, but it turned out that it was superfluous, and just such an abalone had made these people's stomachs round.

This California red abalone weighs nearly ten pounds! That's nine pounds of abalone meat, how can six people eat that much?

In good conscience, Xiao Peng couldn't get used to this taste, but looking at the sweetness of the rest of the people, Xiao Peng could only sigh at the difference in taste.

When Chinese people eat seafood, they want that umami, but when this cheese baked abalone is eaten in his mouth, a strong cheese flavor coupled with the taste of the abalone itself, Xiao Peng always feels weird. However, judging from the expressions and eating looks of the others, the dish made by Mrs. Martin is indeed very level.

Lady Emilia Martin: "Mrs. Martin, how did you make this dish so delicious?

Mrs. Martin smiled, "Actually, there are three key secrets: garlic, mozzarella cheese and heat. In fact, this dish is very simple to make, master these three points, and everyone will make this dish delicious. ”

Emilia asked, "How do you make this dish?" Oh, wait a minute. After saying that, Emilia also took out her mobile phone to prepare for the recording, and it seemed that she really planned to learn this dish. Xiao Peng noticed that her mobile phone was the same big Huawei as herself.

"It's actually very simple, wash the abalone meat, cut the knife flowers on the meat slices to make it easier to absorb the flavor, then cover it with minced garlic, put a little salt on it for a while, and finally cover it with mozzarella cheese, wrap the abalone meat and garlic together, and put it in the oven." Of course, the exact heat depends on experience, and I am used to preheating the oven for 200 degrees and then baking for 20 minutes. See the change in the color of the cheese to adjust the timing. ”

Mrs. Martin spoke earnestly, and Emilia studied carefully, but it was clear that the men were not interested, and the men were gathering around drinking beer and talking.

Sean took a sip of beer: "I really want to thank Xiao Peng today for letting me avoid such a big trap." Nick might still be hugging his pillow and crying. ”

Martin nodded: "Indeed, I also want to thank Xiao Peng, I haven't been so happy for a long time, watching Nick eat deflated, I can still make money." There's nothing more joyful than that. ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand and said modestly: "It's just a bit of luck." ”

"No, it's not luck, and I still don't understand why you let me photograph this warehouse? I noticed today that when Sean took a picture of the warehouse, you gave him a thumbs up. Seems like you're sure Sean can make money, Shaw, can you tell me how you did it?"

"Then I need to ask, I just know how to see through. Xiao Peng answered the two of them directly without thinking about it, and his words were amazing.

"Huh?" Now it was Martin's turn to be dumbfounded.
