Chapter 325: An Eventful Fall
The baby is very fortunate to have Dudu and her share the pain of parting, the two people taste the pain of only half the pain, and the two share the same happiness but two happiness. Dudu and the baby held two cakes and puddings, sharing each other's happiness, although they were tear-stained, but they showed smiling faces.
Mother Zhang Xiuying and Li Han smiled and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two little guys, the baby's situation was much better than expected, and Dudu helped a lot. "Baby, Dudu, what do you want to eat at night, tell grandma and uncle, we will make it for you. ”
The baby digs the cake, gulps it up, tilts its little head and looks at Dudu. "Sister Dudu, what do you want to eat. "Big lobster, and meat noodles. Dudu's mouth was full of cream, and he opened it and said. The baby nodded his little head vigorously. "And the big fish head. ”
"Okay, let's eat big lobster, big fish head, and meat noodles. "The lobster will go to the space to exchange one, the big-headed fish, there are a few more in the space, the noodles, although it is troublesome, but for the sake of the two little guys, the trouble is nothing. "Xiaohan, there are no lobsters and big-headed fish at home, so you may not be able to buy them in the supermarket. ”
"It's okay, Mom, I'll go get a hotel and ask, there should be there." ”
Li Han drove out of the city for a walk, got back a four or five catties of heavy lobster, a dozen catties of big-headed fish, and returned to the small farm. Dudu and the baby were squatting in the yard grinding tofu, and Liu Ming was pointing on the side. "Why, you can still make tofu. ”
Liu Ming whispered. "Where do I know how to make tofu, Dudu and the baby will do it. "Hehe, it turned out to be a blind command, and the two little guys really blinded you." Li Han smiled and shook the lobster and the bighead fish in front of the two little ones. "Toot, baby, look what this is. ”
"Wow, what a big lobster, and a big head. Dudu and the baby cheered around Li Han, screaming vigorously. "Dad. Doodle to take, toot toe. "Okay, Dudu takes the big fish, and the baby takes the lobster." ”
Dudu's strength is much greater than that of the baby, Li Han looked at the tofu grinding in half, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and said to Liu Ming with a smile. "Why don't you try. "Okay, it looks pretty simple, you shake it, I'll add beans." ”
"You're sure you can do it, or you'll shake me and add it. Adding beans is not easy. Li Han smiled and handed it to Liu Ming, who pursed his lips. "No problem, it's so simple, I don't believe it yet, the baby can do it, I can't do it. ”
Li Han smiled and nodded. "That's good, it's okay, I'm not slow, you add it faster. "Alright. You just shake it, grind it. Liu Ming snorted, underestimate people, right? When Li Han saw Liu Ming's appearance, he shook his head slightly. Forget it, let's get started. Li Han held the crank handle and shook it vigorously, and the speed became faster and faster. Liu Ming held the scoop and didn't move for a long time. "I said, do you add it or not? "What's the hurry?"
Li Han rolled his eyes speechlessly. "The beans are gone. Can I not be in a hurry, didn't you let me shake blindly?" "Okay, plus, can't I add it, I'll go, you slow down." The beans flew sideways, and Liu Ming gave it back a beating. "Hehe, Uncle Liu Ming is not right, it's not like that. ”
The baby took the scoop in Liu Ming's hand, waved his little hand, scooped a scoop of beans, and quickly added it to the circle, but it was not scattered at all, and Li Han's speed did not slow down. "Uncle Liu Ming is going to follow his uncle, hurry up and add it, just take it out. ”
The baby said well, it is not easy to keep up with Li Han's shaking direction, quickly add the beans, and pull out the scoop. "Baby, I know what to do. "Sister baby, come on, grandma is going to kill the big lobster." ”
Dudu ran out and beckoned the baby to watch the lobster killing, and the two little ones were not afraid at all. "Hmm. The baby threw away the spoon, got up and ran into the small building. "If you don't shake it, I'll add it. Li Han saw Liu Ming's brows furrowed, and his eyes were staring at Xiao Shimo.
"Okay, I'd like to see how you add it. Liu Ming snorted, it is difficult to add beans, how difficult can it be to shake the stone mill. But after a while, Liu Ming couldn't hold it anymore. "I said, can you add less?"
It's very tiring to grind tofu, and I just watched Dudu shake it for a long time, and I don't seem to have any trouble. "You, the slower you grind tofu, the more tired it is, okay, okay, you watch, I'll do it myself." Li Han took the crank, and after a while, the beans were finished. "Well, it's not easy to eat tofu. ”
Liu Ming snorted, he was really tired, Li Hanshi took it out, cleaned it and put it away, grinded the bean milk and brought it into the house, boiled it to make tofu, and it would take a while. Li Han poured a glass of water and touched Liu Ming on the sofa in the living room. "Drink water, I see that your face is full of worries, what's wrong. ”
Liu Ming took the water and thanked him, took a sip and said. "Do you remember what you told you about tires last time?" "Tires, you mean that the U.S. government has conducted an anti-dumping investigation into the export of tires to China. ”
Li Han didn't know much about anti-dumping and the like, but he just heard Liu Ming mention it. The incident was caused by an application by the United Steelworkers of the United States to the U.S. International Trade Commission to launch a special warranty investigation into Chinese-made passenger car tires. In its complaint, it claims that importing large quantities of tires from China has harmed the interests of the local tire industry, and that if measures are not taken against Chinese tires, 3,000 American workers will lose their jobs by the end of 2009.
"You say that these people, don't they have nothing to do to find trouble? Isn't it good that things are cheap, and there are so many troubles. Li Han didn't know much about this, and Liu Ming sighed. "This is the largest special protection case against China since Obama took office, and it could lead to other countries and regions boycotting Chinese products. ”
Liu Ming saw Li Han's puzzled face and explained. "Han, just today Obama announced a three-year punitive tariff on all car and light truck tires imported from China. The punitive tariff rate imposed on tires imported from China is 35% in the first year, 30% in the second year, and 25% in the third year. You have to know that the road tariffs are increased by 10 percent, and the company will have no profits, just now I got the news, the tire stocks fell by more than 6 percent in one day, all fell to the limit, the rubber fell by more than 5 percent, the Shanghai Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange all fell to the limit, and the entire rubber industry suffered an earthquake, and then the reaction may be greater. ”
"Although I only have a little stake in two tire companies, this time it seems that there will be a big trouble, and it will be followed by the reaction of various countries. Liu Ming is right, there are too many countries that look to the United States as the leader.
Li Han also knows a little about Liu Ming's background, and he has an official background, but it's not just his father's generation. "What are you going to do about this?" "What can I do, the gods are fighting, it's not us mortals who are unlucky, Han, you should also make some preparations earlier, although the consultation period is two months, but this time the United States seems to have come to the real thing." ”
Li Han was a little puzzled, and Liu Ming whispered. "I have just received news that China has officially launched the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy review procedures for some imported automobile products, broilers, beef and mutton products from the United States. ”
Li Han was stunned, and sure enough, it was a fight between the gods, and mortals suffered, and the cattle, sheep, and chicken, which were already making trouble because of swine flu, bird flu, and mad cow disease, may have suffered a greater blow. It is important to know that Langdao imports more than 500,000 tons of bare-light chicken every year, a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as corn and soybeans.
This trouble, the price of cattle and sheep has fallen, bringing a series of reactions, and the farm and ranch will definitely be affected, especially during the financial crisis. Li Han frowned and said with a wry smile. "The country is in trouble with the country, and the most unlucky ones are ordinary people. ”
Domestic tire companies will definitely be hit hard, although the United States is a small blow, but for farmers and ranchers, this blow is fatal enough. "This matter, you just know the way, there have been some verbal battles recently, by the way, I will fly to New York early tomorrow morning, it is estimated that it will take half a month. ”
"I can't help you with this, by the way, I'll cook you some soup, maybe these days, you don't have much time to rest, the fire is definitely not small, go to the fire to calm your nerves." "The recipe for detoxification and soothing the nerves is added to the space spring water, and the effect is very good.
"Okay, this thing is good, be more prepared, maybe many people won't be able to calm down, my old man may bring a group over this time." Liu Ming said, no wonder, so well-informed. "No problem. ”
"Dad, the tofu is cooked. ”
Dudu and the baby ran over holding their little hands and pushed Li Han. "Okay, let's go, let's make tofu." "Dudu wants to eat tofu brain. "Uncle, the baby wants it too. "Uncle Liu Ming, do you want to eat?"
Liu Ming smiled and patted the sofa and stood up. "Alright. "Dad's tofu brain is the best. Dudu tilted his little head and said to Liu Ming. "Don't show off, come here. "Tofu brain, need a lot of seasoning, boiled chicken soup as a soup base, plus beef foam, mustard, pickled cucumber diced at home, shredded fungus, small shrimp Dudu and baby favorites, as well as sesame sauce, chili oil, coriander, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken sauce eggplant dice. Isn't it a small ingredient to talk about coriander foam, garlic paste, chopped green onions, etc.
The chicken soup and abalone soup have not yet come out of the pot, the two little guys can't help it, the chicken soup should be made with starch, and it will be prepared, half of the thick chicken soup powder plus half of the tofu brain, as well as white truffle foam and salt duck egg yolk that can be added at will, and diced dried abalone.
"This bowl of tofu is comparable to shark fin bird's nest porridge, isn't the tofu brain sweet?"
Liu Ming asked suspiciously with a bowl of some wonderful tofu brains, and Dudu and the baby blinked and blinked their big eyes. "Is it dessert?" "How can sweet be considered tofu brain, it's tofu soup, I don't understand that there are still people who eat sweet tofu brain, it's really strange." "Li Han didn't do much, but he didn't bother much.
For some things, Li Han always insists on himself, eating is one, and the rest of his life attitude is more casual. "It tastes really good, and if you don't buy thirty or fifty dollars for such a bowl of tofu brain, you will lose money. ”
Li Han pouted, you don't have anywhere to buy three or five thousand dollars, space spring water, space vegetables, space shrimp, whether it is chicken or abalone, white truffle, all the best. "Toot, baby, slow down, don't burn. (To be continued......)
