Chapter 222: Sea Ranch
Ramirez appears at dinnertime.
The watermelon head is blonde, and it fluctuates up and down with his steps, and he spends about the afternoon soaking his face, miraculously wiping the marker mark clean.
With a bright smile, "Hello, I went to the library to read in the afternoon and forgot the time, and when I came out, I found that it was dark." ”
Father Han asked curiously, "Didn't you say you went to the band to rehearse?"
“…… Yes, before going to the library. ”
"It's really fun to live after school, if it's okay, take my grandson to play, come, I also have a gift for you. The old man laughed.
Harris silly was given the latest IBM computer, all top-of-the-line and modified to look like a small workstation.
Isabelli touched the pendant around her neck, and Han Qianshan had nothing to do with a small piece of jadeite that he grinded out by himself, and sent it to a jewelry store in Augusta Town to ask someone to polish it.
I couldn't see the specific shape, so I originally threw it for the boy's mother to wear, but this time I didn't know what to buy, so I gave it to Isabelle.
"Fender!" Ramirez exclaimed in surprise as she walked into the living room and saw the guitar on the couch.
Fender has not been around for a long time, but it has become an icon of the American guitar scene, and he could only afford a regular guitar before, and the Fender sold for tens of thousands of dollars was too far for him.
After thinking clearly, Ramirez looked up, "It's too precious, sir, thank you for your kindness to me, but I can't ask for it." ”
"It's okay, you can take it, it's just a small gift, I booked a table at the restaurant and invited you to dinner. ”
Gregorian said unceremoniously, reaching out and pushing them out.
The restaurant is still the Bouchard restaurant that came in the afternoon.
The largest round table in the corner of the window, just enough for a few people to sit down, it seems that the principal really spent a lot of money, Han Xuan took the menu half-pushed, pointed to the picture on the homepage and said to the waiter: "May I ask where this signature lobster is produced?"
"Near the Canadian Farewell Island. The offshore fisheries there are closed and can only be caught in the deep sea, and they are definitely the best Canadian lobsters.
This morning the fishing boat came directly from Farewell Island, and when the lobster arrived, the lobster was still alive, and the cod was ...... May not be to your taste. ”
The waiter replied kindly, and usually the guests give a tip of 10-15%. At noon, the boy in front of him gave him more than 30%, and a whispered reminder at this moment was a reward for his kindness.
When he saw Gregory, he continued, "Sir, you still have half a bottle of wine here last time, do you want to bring it for you?"
"It's not that you can't afford to eat it normally, but it's the first time you come here?" Old Man Han teased: "It's really comfortable to be the principal." ”
"Shit! I'm paying for someone to eat myself!" Gregorian yelled with a thick neck and a low voice.
"Who are you inviting here, and you're going to drink?"
“…… It's a personal matter for me. ”
"Varsa-sensei, right?" Isabelli hadn't spoken yet, startling Ramirez when she said it.
"That old witch from the School of Biological Medicine, Han! the one who raised the Columbia Basin dwarf rabbit!"
Han Xuan's eyebrows twitched. The fierce appearance is too impressive.
Isabelle continued: "I often see her walking around campus with the principal, and the relationship doesn't seem normal. ”
"Yo, congratulations"
Before the old man finished speaking, Gregoris retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that you have the same interests and hobbies." ”
"And then the relationship goes further?" Old Man Han kept teasing him.
Gregorian changed the subject and said to Ramirez: "Varsa is not a witch, she is just strict with her students, and she has a good personality in private. ”
"Privately"
Han Xuan flipped through the menu. Two words popped out of his mouth, making the headmaster's face flush with anger. Maybe shame is real.
"Lobster, you either, I ate baked snails here at noon, it tastes very good, you can try it." ”
"I'll do both!" Harris said anxiously.
"Me too. ”
Isabelle said, "I don't like to eat snails, just give me a lobster." ”
Gregorian didn't forget to stick out his head to look at the price at this time, and his face was not red in an instant. It's getting darker, "$180 a pound?!"
"It's the lobster that says goodbye to the island's waters, sir. Fishermen there use traps where they can only catch one lobster at a time, a method that does little ecological harm. The price can be high, and there are also Boston lobsters for only $80. ”
The waiter replied.
"How bad it is in Boston, okay okay, I'll have a copy too"
Listening to people play piano music during small talk, the style of Bouchard Restaurant is more relaxed and casual, as long as it is not too loud, it is completely comfortable to chat.
The waiter quickly brought the dish over and put it in front of each of them.
Lobsters weigh more than two pounds each, and in the wild, Canadian lobsters take six to eight years to grow to a pound, which means they may be over ten years old.
The color was red, longer than the forearm, Gregorian peeled off the shell, took a bite and nodded, and said: "Someone once caught a sixty-six-year-old lobster in Monterey Bay, weighing forty-four pounds, lobster organs do not degenerate and age, some scientists believe that they will never die, if the living environment is right." ”
"When you say some scientists, you don't mean the one named Varsa. "The old man is tired of this, he made a speech just now, and he always has to take revenge.
"Of course not! The man who caught it was a friend of mine, who had a marine ranch in Monterey Bay and put it back in the sea, and I had seen the pictures. ”
"What is a marine ranch?"
"There is a lot of grazing on the shore, there is fish in the sea, and the lobsters from Monterey Bay are pretty good, but I haven't eaten them for years, and his family is now settled in New Zealand and rarely comes back. ”
Hearing this, the father and son are energetic, Monterey Bay is south of San Francisco, a two-hour drive from Highway 1, to Pebble Beach, I did see a lot of pastures, but I didn't expect that the surrounding ocean also belonged to them.
Monterey Bay sea lions, fur seals and dolphins are concentrated, and the upwelling currents of the ocean bring abundant nutrients, attracting a large number of whales every year.
Han Xuan secretly gave his father a color, and Han's father kept listening, and his mind turned around to understand what his son meant, and wiped his mouth with a napkin......
"Mr. Gregoryan, your friend doesn't live in the United States, what about that ranch? I also have a ranch, and it's not convenient to take care of it without people. ”
"It's time to rent it to someone else, I went to New Zealand for a holiday and heard him say that New Zealand is really beautiful, and the United States can't find that kind of pure natural scenery, and the pollution is too serious. ”
"How big is that gentleman's ranch?"
"More than 10,000 acres seems to be, his family used to do sea farming, and many of the land was sold to build high-end resorts, and the ocean area is quite large, anyway, it is his to take a boat for more than half an hour. ”
Gregorian said casually, thinking that the lobster tasted too light, and sprinkled a little salt on it.
Hearing that the ranch was only more than 10,000 acres, Father Han was immediately uninterested, nodded with a smile, and did not say any more.
Han Xuan stepped on his foot and said to Gregorian: "My dad has always wanted to engage in fishing, principal, can you ask a friend to see if he has any ideas for sale?"
"You want to buy it?"
Gregorian took a sip of water, turned around and pulled his phone into his briefcase: "Of course, it's not difficult, it's dawn in New Zealand, I'll ask him" (to be continued.) )
