In the afternoon of the same day, Erret came to Ozette to look for him.

In Link's study, Link listened to his report and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Our men watched him get into the car, and no one got out of the car. ”

Link nodded imperceptibly and said, "So old?"

Ari pursed his lips and said, "It is said that there was a sudden myocardial infarction and death in the morning. ”

Link didn't bother to dig into what was wrong, anyway, the Norwich father and son were dead. That's the key. Then the contradiction between him and the underground forces in Houston has probably disappeared. He said, "Did Lawson agree?"

He agreed. "Iri welcomed Link's decision to hire Rosen as a consultant for the security company. Rosen's network in Texas is strong. The police, the FBI, and even senior government officials all have his friends. Having such a person working in the company is of great benefit to the company's operation.

Link nodded and said, "Good." You've worked hard this time, too. I'll put five million into the company's account, and you can take it and give it to everyone involved in the operation. "More than 150 people acted, and 5 million averaged 30,000.

"Thank you boss!"

"No one at the noodle shop over there will ever cause trouble. ”

"There won't be any more!" Even if there were, Ari would make others dare not go. Now there are probably some rumors on the road, as long as his security company is still there, those underground forces will not dare to provoke those noodle shops.

Link smiled and said, "I've worked hard for you this time." When you go back, choose the right person to go to Benehans in California as soon as possible. Also, there is a need for someone in Oregon who can fly a helicopter. I have already ordered several civilian helicopters. Adequate drivers are needed. "Oregon is too big to take care of without helicopters.

"I sent the notice before I came. ”

"I'm waiting for your good news!"

"If nothing else, I'm leaving. ”

As soon as Ari leaves, Link calls Martha to ask her to reopen her Houston noodle shop.

It didn't take long for Jessica to return with a two-piece invitation. She handed one to Link: "This is for you!"

Link took it and asked, "What is this?"

"Fox is going to have a Fox Food Festival, and it's an invitation. ”

"The two of us, and they'll give you two more?"

Jessica glanced at the one in her hand and smiled, "No, it's three, Hannah has it too! I heard that this is the second year that the festival has been held for the same purpose. ”

Link opened it and looked at it. It turned out that the city government was planning to build a cultural center in Fox in the hope of raising some funds from citizens and businesses. So invite all the residents to make some snacks and all the residents will be invited. Some confident residents make their own food and sell it in portions, with the proceeds going to the Cultural Center project.

He smiled and said, "Then we're going to make some snacks too?"

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to make some cookies." "They're all going to live here for a long time, and being actively involved in the town will help them better integrate into the Fox community.

Link was a little annoyed, he didn't have much to cook? He thought for a moment and said, "How about you think I can make some offal?"

Jessica laughed and said, "Yes, but hopefully someone will want to take the first bite." ”

Link had done offal a few times before, and he had finally learned some tricks. She didn't dare to eat it at first, but the aroma was so tempting that she almost couldn't stop eating it with the sour and spicy sauce.

Link thought for a moment and said, "It's just a bit of a hassle to do." ”

"Just do it once. When you talk about it, I kind of want to eat it. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "If you want to eat, I'll make some, it's too much to do, it's troublesome." Our family of three was going to be chefs that day. I'm going to imagine what I'm going to do. ”

"And what is Hannah going to do?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "She can make a cucumber." "The main thing for the cucumber master is to crack the cucumber enough, and then the seasoning should be adjusted well. That's certainly not what Hannah can do. But she can mix cucumbers.

Well, this step is also very important.

As soon as Jessica heard that their father and daughter were going to cook Chinese food, she felt that making cookies was a bit out of place: "I learned to cook Chinese food with you?"

When Link heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "If you want to learn, you can't learn now, you don't have enough time." "Isn't it a joke to learn how to cook Chinese food in a week? Just know how monotonous their cooking methods are.

"Then make a simple one. Maybe we can still sell it now!"

Link finally came up with a simple dish that might appeal to Americans' taste buds: "So be it." That day, I was stir-frying, and you came to sell vegetables, otherwise there were too many people and I couldn't be busy. ”

"So confident?"

"Forget it, I'll make it for you to taste it once. ”

When Hannah learns that she is going to cook for everyone, she yells at her children to eat mushrooms. So the day before the festival, he and Jessica took her to the forest to pick mushrooms again, and this time they picked more. Just washing the mushrooms made the two servants wash them twice.

On the morning of the food festival, Jessica dressed up early and stayed at home. Then check what you are going to prepare again: "disposable cardboard dish, plastic fork." There are also seasonings and creams. Honey, are the kitchenware and ingredients ready?"

"It's all in the pickup truck. ”

"Then let's go. Oh, where's Hannah?"

"I'm here!" Hannah ran out with a stainless steel bowl.

Link saw that it was holding the bowl for eating, and couldn't help asking, "What is Hannah going to do with the bowl?"

Hannah handed the bowl to Jessica and said, "Eat, Stephen said, there will be a lot of good food!"

Link couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, this stupid girl.

Jessica smiled as she put her bowl and fork away and said, "It's more hygienic to use your own bowl!" ”

So they pulled the things of a pickup truck and headed towards Fawkes.

This time, they were going to hold the food festival in an open space on the outskirts of the city. The vast majority of the food in the festival is provided by the citizens of the town, and there are also some nearby snack bars or some companies that participate, mainly for advertising.

They arrived relatively early, and few people from the town arrived.

When the organizers saw the car driving in, someone ran over, saw it was him, and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Hans, you can't park here." ”

Link saw that a shelter tent was being set up inside, and of course he knew that there was no place to park there, so he said to the man, "I have a lot of things in my car, and I will park outside when I unload them." ”

Looking at the things in the back of Link's car, he said, "Mr. Hans, you won't move all the kitchens, will you?"

"We have a family of three cooking. I've moved almost half of the kitchen. ”

The man led them to the middle of the place, where the tent was about to be pitched. Several staff members moved everything from his car, there was a field table, a gas canister, and a gas stove, and it was the first time they had seen someone bring in all the kitchen utensils. Last time, at most, some people brought ovens, and they could use it by plugging in the electricity pulled by the venue.

Link didn't watch them do anything, and after setting things up, he helped set up the tent.

The man looked at Link's ingredients, which were some mushrooms and what looked like potatoes, and was a little curious: "Mr. Hans, what are you cooking?"

Link smiled and said, "Leave some suspense, I want to know, I will come to eat later, I can prepare it for you first." ”

He walked around Fox several times a month, and the people at Fox knew that although he was rich, he was kind to him. And on Halloween last year, he also made a big splash in front of the Fox people. Some people even say that he gained the strength of a werewolf to fight a brown bear, and that statement seems to be agreed by many people. No one said he was a werewolf. This makes it easier for the Fox to accept his existence as a person.

"That's great, I'll book one first. By the way, how much do these dishes cost?"

"There are different prices. Fifty cents per serving is cheap, and a dollar is more expensive. ”

They also need to do some preparation. Jessica shaved some shredded potatoes and shredded carrots. Link began to teach Hannah how to mix cucumbers.

After a while, people came one after another. A lot of people also came in pickup trucks. People who are ready to show off their cooking skills need to prepare not only food, but also various tools. Link saw someone bring bread ovens, some with microwaves, and even with grills.

There were quite a few people who came, and nearly 100 columns and nearly 100 tents were set up, all of which were occupied.

Americans' pots are all pans, and their cooking methods are mainly boiling, frying, frying and cold dressing, and there is no concept of frying at all. Many people have seen a wok for the first time. And seeing that Link even brought a gas stove, I couldn't help but be a little curious. Some people who knew each other came over to say hello. Ask him what kind of dish he is going to make.

Song Xianhe also came, and he was diagonally opposite Link and them, looking at his tools and ingredients, he was probably going to make steamed dumplings. The steamer should be electric. And those steamed dumplings are already steamed, just heated there. He saw Link's kitchen utensils and ingredients, smiled and said, "Are you going to make shredded potatoes? Why are there mushrooms?"

"And cucumbers!" Hannah knelt in her chair and looked at Song Hyun-ho. "Mr. Song, what about Stephen? Isn't he coming?"

"He'll be here with his mom in a minute!"

"Oh. I invite you to eat pickled cucumbers. I did it!" she said, picking up a plastic fork and clumsily forking a large piece in a large basin and holding it to him.

Song Xianhe smiled and said thank you, took it and ate it. The cucumber was crispy, but not completely submerged, but when he saw Jessica's "isn't it delicious" expression, he gave a thumbs up: "Hannah made it delicious!"

Hannah's eyes narrowed into two small crescents: "Thank you!

As they spoke, it was half past nine when music suddenly sounded in the room.

Song Xianhe has experience and said: "This is to remind the citizens that they can come and taste the food now." ”

Link saw that the people who were going to serve the food were starting to get busy, as if they were going to make the final preparations. The most furious one was the buddy who brought the grill, although the charcoal did not smoke, but the fat of the roasted meat dripping onto the red-hot coal, it was also going to smoke for a while. And the barbecue was hot. It's really not pleasant to smoke from oil.

It didn't take long for people to come and taste the delicious food.
