Chapter 762 is all the fault of the snake soup
Emilia just wanted to speak, but heard a horn outside the window, Xiao Peng put on his pants and ran to the window, and saw that it was Barton, who was riding his big Harley and waved to him: "Xiao, ride your motorcycle and follow me." β
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Patton, spare me, what are you going to do early in the morning? Don't tell me that I am going to cruise with you, have I become your 'loiter' now?"
Barton shook his head: "Let's go, go to the second-hand market, there are several buyers waiting for you there." β
"Buyer, you mean the big chief's buyer, who came so quickly?" Xiao Peng was startled when he heard this.
"Is this fast?" said Barton disdainfully, "If it weren't for yesterday's cooking skills, you would have been able to sell it yesterday afternoon, you underestimate the enthusiasm of the motorcycle riders." Come down, I'll show you there. β
"Wait for me, I'll wash up and go down!" Xiao Peng turned to Emilia and said, "You guys get dressed, let's go sell motorcycles." β
Amelia asked, "Didn't you skip breakfast?" I see you came back yesterday and worked for a long time, didn't you?"
Xiao Peng slapped his forehead: "Damn, I forgot about this." You wash up first, and I'll go prepare breakfast. β
After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he ran downstairs and happened to see Kate.
Kate greeted with a smile, "Xiao, how do you feel in room one?
Xiao Peng replied with a smile: "Of course, the earthquake is about to happen." "Well, it's shaking, but it's because two of them are doing pistonγγγγγγ
"What's the matter, are you coming down for breakfast?" asked Kate.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "No, I'll buy some bread, I made something delicious myself, do you want to try it?"
Kate said, "No, I've had breakfast, but thank you anyway." Xiao Peng bought bread and went to the door: "Barton, have you had breakfast? Let's have breakfast together." β
Barton smiled: "Even if you eat it, you have to eat it again, you can't miss your craft." Barton stopped his motorcycle and followed Xiao Peng into the hotel, and greeted Kate, "Hi, Kate!"
"Barton, it's been a long time since I've seen you. "The character of the town, almost everyone knows it. "Why are you here?"
Barton said, "You don't even know that the best chefs in the world are living in your restaurant." β
Kate looked at Xiao Peng in surprise: "You mean Xiao, is it really fake?"
Barton said, "Of course it's true, I don't believe you ask Shelby about them." "Shelby and the others were among the people Barton invited to the whole sheep feast yesterday.
After hearing this, Kate looked at Xiao Peng: "It seems that I really can't miss the breakfast you made." β
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Of course you're welcome." β
Barton asked curiously, "Xiao, what did you make delicious?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Secret." It won't poison you anyway. β
Barton shrugged: "God, even if you say that the raw material is poison, I dare to eat it, really, I really admire you Chinese people too much now, your cooking skills are simply art." β
The three of them returned to the room together, Xiao Peng took out a rice cooker, which looked like there was everything, similar to various silks such as shredded meat, yellow and green colors, which looked appetizing, and the moment the rice cooker lid was lifted, the aroma wafted out.
"Oh my God!" Kate exclaimed.
Xiao Peng served her a bowl, and Kai nodded and thanked her: "I have to go down to see the store, I will go down and eat it myself." Xiao Peng said goodbye to her, and Barton couldn't wait to fill a bowl.
Emilia and Alexi smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait to run over and taste it.
"What kind of soup is this, it tastes so good!" said Alessi, who ate a bowl of five by two.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Actually, I didn't do a good job, after all, there are a few raw materials missing, otherwise the taste can be better." β
Barton stopped eating the bread and drank three bowls in one go: "What the hell is this? Can I taste shredded meat, shredded mushrooms, and eggs and ham? Well, I can't tell what it is." β
Emilia and Alacey both had two bowls of stomach each, and Emilia patted her little belly exaggeratedly: "Xiao, with you, I will definitely become a big fat man." I've never had that much breakfast in my life! What the hell is this?"
Xiao Peng looked at Emilia with a smile: "This is your enemy!"
"Enemy?" Emilia was puzzled.
Xiao Peng gave the answer: "Do you remember the rattlesnake that bit you? What you are eating now is the famous snake soup in our Chinese Cantonese cuisine." β
Speaking of this, Xiao Peng looked proud, and said with a sprinkled face: "Making this snake soup is a delicate job, after the snake meat is cooked, the bones are removed and the meat is peeled, and then fried with hot oil, first put the snake meat shreds into the flavored snake soup and steam them together, and then take out the snake meat shreds after steaming, hang the egg white starch and cook them with shredded chicken, shredded mushrooms, starch, etc. and snake soup, and finally add pepper and the like to finish, just such a pot of soup, I was really busy for half the night." This is still missing a lot of raw materials, otherwise the taste can be better. β
Xiao Peng was talking triumphantly, Patton was amazed, and Emilia and Arecy γγγγγγ Spit up.
The two of them listened to Xiao Peng's narration, the more they listened, the paler their faces became, and when Xiao Peng said the end, the two of them couldn't help it, they rushed to the bathroom, and vomited wildly, looking at this posture, this is to vomit out yesterday's meal, Xiao Peng was speechless, and gently patted Emilia and Arecy's back: "Is it so exaggerated? β
He didn't say it was okay, Emilia and Alacey vomited even more. Xiao Peng scratched his head, this is really no way, after all, human beings' fear of snakes can be said to be innate, although humans are not born afraid of snakes, but they can be keenly aware of which animals are dangerous, and firmly remember them, some people say that in human genes, there is a fear of snakes.
After all, the number one animal species that kills the most people every year is the snake. More people are killed by snakes every year than all other animals combined. Tigers, lions, sharks and the like can't be compared at all. So no matter how delicious the snake soup is, some people still can't accept it, and unfortunately, Emilia and Arecy are one of them.
There is such a saying in Huaxia: Just eat and don't ask, that's what you are talking about.
Barton scratched his head there: "What a delicious thing, how can it vomit like this?"
"Vomitγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng looked at the two women who were vomiting and looked at Barton helplessly: "Barton, look at thisγγγγγγ β
Barton said hurriedly: "The buyers are waiting over there." It's not good to just go. β
Xiao Peng said: "Otherwise, you rode my motorcycle over and sold it?"
Barton: "Huh, you're too relieved of me, aren't you?"
Emilia hurriedly waved her hand: "Xiao, you guys go get down to business, we can take care of ourselves." β
Alacey wanted to say something, but she retched directly, just lying on the pool and waving her hand to Xiao Peng and the others, signaling them to leave quickly.
Xiao Peng thought about it and picked up the key of the big chief, situations like Alacey and Emilia are psychological problems, and there is no big problem, and it will be okay to rest and rest.
In Patton's words, the second-hand market is not far from Williamstown, just thirty kilometers along Interstate 40γγγγγγ Xiao Peng was speechless about this, thirty kilometers is not far away? Uh, too, who made the Stars and Stripes vast and sparsely populated.
"These damn interstate highways, it's their presence that brought down Route 66. Barton grumbled.
Xiao Peng smiled: "But it's because of it that so many tourists are brought to Williams Town, isn't it? Otherwise, Williams wouldn't be so prosperous." β
"That's true, so we're bothered by their presence, but to be honest, cruising on Intercontinental Highway Forty does feel much better than cruising on Highway Sixty-Six," Barton said. Xiao, do you have a highway in Huaxia?"
Xiao Peng was speechless, a little too lazy to answer, and waved his hand directly: "Of course not." In our Huaxia, I want to go wherever I want to go, if I am lucky, the horse rider will give me a ride, and the rich travel by a sedan chair, the kind that is carried by many people. β
Barton's expression was even more speechless, and he looked at Xiao Peng: "Hey, Xiao, I'm about to turn sixty years old, and I can still hear the rhetoric." β
Xiao Peng said: "I really don't want to answer such a brain-dead question, if you really want to know the correct answer to this question? Okay, then let me tell you, Huaxia is the country with the longest highway mileage in the world, and the total length is more than 20,000 kilometers more than your Stars and Stripes Country, which is roughly the length from the west coast of your Stars and Stripes Country to the East China Sea. You understand?"
Patton listened to Xiao Peng's words with a surprised expression: "There are so many highways in Huaxia?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "That's right, there is a saying in Huaxia that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, so in Huaxia, whether it is a highway or a high-speed railway, it is very well built." A variety of transport lines extend in all directions. β
"Shet!" Barton scolded, "What is our media telling us? Every day the Chinese people are very dangerous, and the Chinese people are very poor! Xiao, you should tell everyone about it, so that everyone can understand the real China." β
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "If it was before, maybe I would argue and explain it to you again, now, hehe, it's not necessary." β
Barton didn't understand: "Why?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Barton, let me tell you a joke, when I came to the Stars and Stripes Country this time, I met an Indian trio at the Los Angeles airport and chatted with me, he was very interested after knowing that I was from Huaxia. He said he was from Mumbai. Barton, you know Mumbai, right?"
Barton thought for a moment, "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this city. Is it the city of Indo-3?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's right, it's a city in Yinsan, and it's also the most developed city in their country. At that time, the Indian three people told me a lot with a sad face, and he said: "We in Mumbai are facing many problems now, these problems have not been solved for a long time, if we don't solve these problems, our economy in Mumbai may be overtaken by your magic capital, and it will no longer be the first in Asia." But the truth of the matter is that the GDP of our Shanghai market is twice that of Mumbai. I listened to him and just smiled: yes, you're right. β
Patton asked curiously, "Why don't you argue with him?"
Xiao Peng said lazily: "Why argue? If Huaxia is still the poor and backward Huaxia that used to be, I will argue with them, why do you say bad things about our Huaxia? But what about now? Our Huaxia is rich and strong, and arguing with them will only lower our own grade, and the facts can prove everything, this is our self-confidence! Don't know Huaxia? Open your eyes to find the answer yourself, we are strong every day This is an indisputable fact, we don't have the ability to teach others how to be smart, if you want to find the answer, you can only know if you go and see it with your own eyes. Instead of looking for answers from your media and newspapers, listening to their farting and asking me to tell them the truth? Do you think I'm stupid? But as a friend, I want to tell you the truth, that is, our highway system in China is actually very developed, and of course, there are not many cars in normal times. This is because most of the highways in our country are tolled. β
"Toll toll? Why is that? There are very few tolls on the highways in our country. Barton asked curiously. The Stars and Stripes toll highway accounts for only 4% of the length of all expressways, while Huaxia is more than 90%.
Xiao Peng explained: "In order to speed up the construction of highways, our country has used a unique method called 'borrowing to build roads, charging fees to repay loans', so that roads can be repaired when the economy is not good." Because of the toll, many people choose the road instead of the highway when it is not too far or necessary to travel. Besides, highway maintenance costs money, doesn't it? All of that money is taken out of highway tolls. β
Patton laughed: "That's better for us in the Stars and Stripes, we have free highways here, and there are people who maintain road repairs and so on." β
Xiao Peng was dismissive: "You have set up a highway trust fund through the collection of fuel taxes and excise taxes on important auto parts, etc., specifically for the construction of interstate highways and other federally aided highways. You are paying for the maintenance of the highway when you refuel and buy cars, including maintenance parts, and if you look at your highway, it's not me who blows it to you, the elevated roads and other places in our city are better than your high-speed road conditions!
