Chapter Seventy-Seven, Hunting Patrol (Collect!Subscription!)
The two fish bent restlessly on the ice and bounced twice. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info jumped on the thick layer of snow next to it, and couldn't move.
"Asian carp. Jesse's expression was a little embarrassed.
"You don't eat much freshwater fish, do you?" Tang Wen smiled at her and threw the hook into the water again.
"Well, there are too many fish bones. It's a hassle to deal with...... We usually go straight to the supermarket to buy processed fish steaks when we eat fish. Jesse explained.
"You should know how to make it, right?, boiled fish or something?" Nangong Caiwei interjected expectantly.
"Well, I also feel the need to spread our food culture!" Tang Wen nodded and said to Jesse, "You can taste the fish I cooked in the evening." ”
Jesse's eyes widened suddenly, and he was surprised, "You know how to cook?"
"Of course, you'll know if you taste it at night......"
The three of them sat back in their seats, and the coffee pot was already steaming.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing, and Jesse introduced the surroundings to Tang Wen.
“... Those bare trees, not too tall kinds, are American red maples. Autumn is especially beautiful, and every autumn Thomas and I go camping or hunting and spend a few days in the forest...... It was great to have a beer and look at the stars every night..."
Tang Wen couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this: The lifestyle and quality of life in rural America are probably better than those of the middle class in Pearl City. It's no wonder that a group of people are willing to be cowboys for generations, living in the town.
"Whenever I look at the sky here, I feel that there are no worries!" Nangong Caiwei sighed as she drank her coffee.
Probably because he had just returned from Tibet, Tang Wen's feelings when he saw the sky were not strong, and he shook his head and said to her, "You seem to have some troubles in your daily life." ”
Nangong Caiwei's head tilted slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, and smiled maliciously at him. Laughing like a she-fox who has stolen a chicken...
Tang Wen shook his body uncomfortably, and turned his head away from her.
"Hey, it's a motorcycle over there, right?"
In the snow, a quad bike drove far along the shore of the lake.
Jesse squinted for a few seconds, unable to make out who it was. After all, the shape of a jacket and quad bike is too common.
The motorcycle drove towards a few people, and several people also took a few steps in the direction he came from. On the shore of the lake there is a stone-carved boundary monument that reads: Private territory, trespass without permission!
Tang Wen felt very powerful when he saw it, and a sense of pride in being a landlord arose.
"Hey, Jesse, can I ride over?" the sound of the motorcycle stopping, and a young voice in the car greeted Jesse as he took off his helmet to reveal dark brown hair.
"Oh, Perez, little Pere!" Jesse finally recognized the other party, turned his head and explained to Tang Wen: "This is the hunting patrol officer in our town, Perez, he only took office in March last year. ”
Although Tang Wen didn't know what was going on with the hunting patrol, it didn't prevent him from welcoming the other party. Because he felt that the lad was very well-behaved and did not trespass on his territory.
"Hello! I'm Don, the rancher here. ”
Perez looked at Tang Wen's outstretched hand, his face was very surprised, and he seemed to glance at Jesse in disbelief and get confirmation. Only then did he hurriedly take off his thick gloves and hold Tang Wen's hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tang." Well, my name is Perez, Perez Wilson..."
The young policeman was a little restrained, but Tang Wen was very happy, feeling that the rookie in front of him who had just become a hunting policeman looked much more tender than him. After sitting down, he inadvertently found that he peeked at Nangong Caiwei's eyes, which made Tang Wen feel very interesting, and it was rare to meet a foreigner who was close to the aesthetics of the Chinese.
Tang Wen chatted with him about his work.
“...... We regularly patrol forests and lakes, and if someone asks for help, we need to go out to rescue and search for help......"
"Then how do you prevent illegal hunters?" The so-called ass determines thinking, after having his own hunting ground, Tang Wen's only worry is whether someone will go in to poach or something. He already regarded all the animals in the 10,000-acre forest farm as his own.
"Oh, we don't normally go into the forest to patrol unless we get definite information that an unknown person has entered the mountains with a gun. Speaking of this, he shook his head and frowned, "In short, when we train, we accept the dogma of not being a hero! There will be a better way to deal with it." For example, they set up a checkpoint on the road to the mountain road to check their hunting license. Of course, this can only be done in cooperation with the sheriff, and we don't have the right to do it unilaterally..."
"And are you still happy with your job?" the coffee was brewed, and Jesse brought him a cup.
Perez shook his head and pursed his lips vigorously, "Well, to be honest, it's a lot more boring than I thought. I often go out and around all day without seeing a few people...... And then go to work and leave work every day..."The young man's tone was a little lost.
After chatting for half an hour, Perez left on his motorcycle. He will continue to patrol.
Jesse looked at his distant back and said, "It turns out that my family and his family are neighbors, this kid is a little shy, and he didn't go to college after graduating from high school because of his family. It's a bit of a shame......"
"Isn't it convenient to take out a loan to go to college here?" Tang Wen asked casually.
"Well, it's not. The point is that his father was very ill and his mother was a housewife. needs him to come out to earn money to support his family, a very hardworking and down-to-earth young man. The people in the police station also took good care of him..."
Nangong Caiwei raised her eyebrows: "Is it difficult to say that there is a subsidy for patrolling?"
Jesse was surprised for a moment and nodded: "Nangong, you are so smart! That's it, you can have an additional subsidy of more than ten dollars every day when you come out to patrol." ”
After two hours on the ice, the hook caught two more carp, each weighing seven or eight pounds. Jesse shook his head when he saw it, looking like he was a pity to abandon it and eat tastelessly.
"Ate the fish I made tonight and promise you'll love eating them. Seeing the clouds in the sky pressing down heavily, a few people were afraid that it would snow later, so they packed up their things and carried four fish. After getting into the car, Tang Wen said to Jesse again.
"Then I'm going to try it!" Jesse's eyes were a little serious.
Tang Wen patted his chest: "You are satisfied." ”
"Oh no, I don't care about that. I mean, I'm going to try the food made by the rich man!" The two women laughed together......
Tang Wen looked out the window and shook his head.
The car pulls into the garage, and Taylor, Thomas, father and son, are outside repairing a weeder.
In the United States, men are generally masters of mechanics. This is not to say how powerful they are, they are mainly forced out. Because of the high cost of door-to-door service, it is really a burden for ordinary families. They are scattered and do not have as many families and workers as in the cities of China. In this environment, the time cost of on-site service will be much higher.
Tang Wen greeted Taylor and his son with the fish: "Hey, don't cook at night, I'll cook a set of Chinese dishes for you." I promise you'll love eating fish forever..."
The two people who were full of mobile phone oil smiled and agreed, saying that they would definitely come to taste it in the evening.
