Chapter 393: Fishing and Making Fish Head Soup
In a birch forest by the lake.
The white-tailed deer ventured out hungry and grazing on the side of the road that the cowboys had shoveled.
They are carefully avoided by refrigerated milk trucks, and vegetables brought from vegetable plantations are loaded into SOS Group heavy trucks for shipment.
The entire road in Montana is now blocked.
The wagons stop east of Augusta Town and are transported by train.
As a result, transportation costs have more than tripled, but this time Lewis crow's beak worked, and several northern states in the United States experienced a cold spell.
They are not willing to spend money on snowy mountain pastures, and they install so many tungsten warm lamps, and most of the out-of-season and seasonal vegetables are frozen to death.
It's just two days.
The price of vegetables has doubled compared to the past, especially organic vegetables, which have risen about three times.
There are no fresh vegetables sold in SOS supermarkets, and other supermarkets such as Wal-Mart are the same, relying on the support of previous stocks, these vegetables have a short shelf life, and they will be out of stock in a day or two.
In addition to the transportation costs, there is a lot of money, and the situation will not improve until the southern region transports vegetables over, and the last week is the golden time for the sale of vegetables in the snow-capped mountain pastures.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask Barton to send them some. ”
Seeing that the float began to sink, Father Han immediately stood up and raised his hand to pull it up.
A red carp more than ten centimeters long came out of the water, it was okay to be an ornamental fish, just eat it, and took the hook speechlessly and put it back.
"When the cattle and sheep are sold, there will be a lot of forage left, and when the road is cleared, I will contact Mr. Conan, and send some to the moose and elk in Flathead, but it is a pity that they will freeze to death.
This year, the Authority will definitely ban hunting activities, and if they die like this, it is estimated that the mountains will be closed next year for reforestation. The resort's hunting program is not a bath, and many tourists come to play for hunting. ”
"Saving them just to hunt? ”
Han Xuan stretched out his middle finger and despised his father.
"The food animals are freezing to death, those deer and rabbits are still alive, and the numbers will definitely go crazy next year," he argued.
People have squeezed their living space, and it is necessary to limit the number, and the blame is that there are too many people. Planned hunting is good for them......"
The sun shone on my body, I didn't feel warm, the snow and ice showed no signs of melting, it was too cold.
For Daddy.
Han Xuan inexplicably has a kind of admiration, many parts of the super-rich second generation like him have been lost.
And he can stay in this remote Montana ranch with peace of mind, running a snow-capped mountain ranch, which Han Xuan thinks he can't do.
He's not pretending, he's really free.
There is no material sorrow in life. The soul also enjoys this kind of comfort, not being restricted by the rules of the world, and living a life as warm as water.
Even if he was only a little greedy for power and money, he would never turn a blind eye to the wealth and power at his fingertips as he did now.
Only by satisfying material needs can he produce such an indifferent lifestyle, and Dad is undoubtedly lucky to find his favorite way of life.
Han Xuan sneezed. Wipe the mist off your sunglasses and continue to stare at the surface buoy.
After catching a red carp. Again plunged into a long period of calm.
Owen was shouting fish every two or three minutes, and there were already a dozen in the snow beside him.
Father Han's eyes were unusually red, and he muttered, "Son, we chose the wrong location, and there are no fish here." ”
Pick up the rod and walk towards Owen, waving his hand to chase him away. "It's so cold and it's so uncomfortable to fish, I'll change with you, you go to me, your ass hurts, and the chair is for you." ”
Owen was dumbfounded by the banditry. He shook his head vigorously and refused, saying, "I don't want to sit either." ”
"Then let's fish together. ”
Father Han squatted down and put the fishhook into the ice cave, and he could guess what kind of contempt Owen had at the moment, and decided not to look at him.
It didn't take long for Owen to get rid of his hatred, he still kept catching fish, and Han's father still didn't catch the bait.
Han Xuan monopolized the ice cave alone, and during this time, he also fished two silver carp that were not very big.
The sun is overhead, and wearing a watch in winter is nothing to look for, looking at the shadows to estimate the time, almost eleven o'clock in the morning.
Father Han finally ran out of patience, and dropped the fishing rod in a huff, his back hurt, and he pushed forward, making the sound of bones rubbing.
He said, "It's time to go home for lunch, Owen, you're in charge of the main meal, and I'll make fish head soup with that bighead carp, I haven't done it for years, so let you try my craft." ”
"Dad, can you cook?" Han Xuan asked, and also began to pack up his things, he really hadn't seen him eat anything except instant noodles when he was so big.
"Of course, your grandfather used to work outside every day, and your grandmother was his assistant to help, and the Filipino maid he invited to cook was too unpalatable, and then he hired a chef from Huaxia again. ”
He didn't say that he would do it from beginning to end, Han Xuan heard that he was weak-hearted, and added, "You can't eat or do it, right?"
"Nonsense! Don't you just put the seasoning! Take the fish head and boil it in water, what's not to do?!
There are so many fish, I will definitely be able to get them out after a few more attempts, and if I can't call your mother and ask her to teach me, what a big deal."
After a good harvest, Gargunon went back to the villa, took a wooden basin and packed the fish, and pushed it home.
Passing by the tree hole of the little raccoons, Han's father threw two fish at the mouth of their hole.
Naxue wiped off his leather gloves and said with a smile: "Son, didn't you say that you had something to do with going to England?"
If you can't do it, go early, you see my ears, I'm about to have chilblains, just enough to go out for a walk.
The world is so big, it's good for you to see more, there are few people here, there are no friends who can play with you, I know you're going to be bored. ”
"It's okay, I write a book when I have nothing to do, a bunch of little kids, what's there to play. ”
Han Xuan replied, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Dad put his arms around him and walked back easily, the four bodyguards behind him were tired and panting, and Jason muttered that he wanted to increase his salary, and this kind of hard work was not included in the scope of work.
"That's right, I'll make a good meal, and I'll borrow a helicopter with Gonzalez to take you to Seattle, Washington, tomorrow, and the airports in several other states are closed except for its neighborhood. ”
"Then I'll tell Anthony that the family plane should go back to the United States, pick him up from Los Angeles, and then pick me up in Seattle, and I guess I can get to England tomorrow night. ”
……
In the kitchen.
Joanna chopped the head of the bighead carp hard, and it took several knives to cut it off.
After washing, put it on the plate, turn on the range hood, put the wok on the gas stove, and turn on the faucet to wash your hands.
I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard him say that he wanted to cook, and I thought I could relax today......
"Got it, boss. ”
Seeing that Dad tied his apron and was about to pour water into the pot, Han Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't fry it?"
"Why do you want to blow it up?" Father Han stopped and turned back to him.
"If you don't fry it, the fish soup is full of fishy smell, how to drink it, I remember that when my mother made it, it was fried with green onion and ginger first. ”
Han Xuan walked over and poured oil into the pot, cut a few large pieces of ginger, broke off the green onions and threw them in, and then put the fish head into the pot, turning it with a shovel to prevent the fish head from frying.
Owen was grilling lobsters next to him, the only one he had brought back from the Monterey Peninsula.
Just now, the boss was angry and had to eat grilled lobster, he looked at the frozen broken ditch lobster, and touched his bald head in distress.
When the fish head was fried slightly yellow, Han Xuan shouted to his father: "Pour water!"
The fish head is big, the iron pot is small, and the one-liter water purifier is only half poured, and the pot is full, which seems to be not enough for three people to drink.
Joanna noticed that the father and son were staring at each other, with a bright smile on their faces, and handed a large pot of stewed soup, "Pour it into this and cook." ”
"Okay, wash it up for me. ”
Father Han said, took the sugar as salt, dug a big spoonful, and prepared to pour it into the pot...... (To be continued.) )
