Li Du felt that the Amish people were still very conservative. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now that there is electricity, then learn to use electric tools, the efficiency of the electric textile machine is higher than the efficiency of the mechanical foot loom, I don't know how many times!

He wanted to ask why they were still generating their own electricity instead of plugging it into the power company's circuit network, if they were willing to use electricity.

But then he felt that he had too much to do, so he opened his mouth and did not speak.

Herbal tea was then delivered, and they moved to the backyard.

The yard is surrounded by tall and lush trees, and the blazing sun is blocked by dense foliage, making it cool when the wind blows.

Ricky handed Li Du a cup of herbal tea, and after using the well water to ice it, the tea was clear and fragrant with fruit, like diluted juice.

"How's it taste?" asked Thomasson, taking a sip.

Li Du nodded and said, "It's delicious, I like this taste." ”

Several Amish men laughed, and someone said a few words in a language that Li Du didn't understand, but Li Du couldn't understand.

"It's High Germanic, and Bosson doesn't speak much English, but he understands it," Tomasson translated. Their family is very traditional and has been speaking High Germanic since childhood. ”

"And what did he say?" asked Li Du.

Thank you for the compliment, he thinks you should prefer juice, Bosen said. ”

Li Du shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I don't just say beautiful things, this is better than fruit juice, the sweetness of fruit juice is too strong, you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much, this light taste is more suitable for cold drinks." ”

Ashley brought some snacks, including melon seeds, boiled peanuts, boiled black beans, and nuts such as chestnuts.

Li Du grabbed a handful of melon seeds and found that they were raw melon seeds.

However, the flavor of raw melon seeds is even more than that of fried melon seeds, because it only has the original fragrance of melon seeds, and it is not greasy to eat no matter how much you eat.

Ricky asked, "What do you do? Do you do science? I've always thought that only ornithologists would like that specimen." ”

Hans smiled: "No, we are treasure hunters, engaged in the warehousing and auction industry. ”

Ricky nodded and said, "I know this industry, it's a bit similar to the thrift auction industry, right? I've seen this kind of auction in the city, it's very interesting." ”

Hans drank herbal tea and said leisurely, "There must be a lot of people who come to you to pick up treasures, right? After all, you all have some good things that have been passed down from your ancestors. ”

"Aren't you?" interjected an Amish man.

The others laughed, and Li Du also laughed, and said, "It's different, I'm interested in that specimen instead of planning to make money from it." ”

Hans said: "You should say, that specimen is not profitable, I don't think it is worth anything unless it is a dinosaur specimen." ”

Ricky said seriously, "It should be valuable, Ashley's grandfather said, the adventurer he followed had seen the specimen, and there were few in the whole of England, but he forgot what the specimen was called." ”

Li Du didn't take this matter to heart, he was more curious about the way of life of the Amish people.

It was almost time for lunch, and Ricky invited them to stay here to eat together, and also invited Thomas and the others to stay here.

Li Du politely refused, and Ricky said: "It's just an ordinary meal, if you don't dislike it, then stay and taste it." ”

Thomas also said: "Stay for a meal, you are good people, the Amish people like to make friends with good people, and besides, we are still neighbors." ”

Since people said so, Li Du and the others naturally had to stay.

But because he brought Godzilla here, he had to remind Ricky, "I'm a good guy, so can you cook more?"

Ricky said happily: "Of course there is no problem, the Amish people get rich with their hands and land, don't look at us not doing business, in fact our lives are quite rich." ”

Thomas summoned his wife, and the other Amish men called her over, and the women worked together on the lunch.

The men brought the tables to the backyard, the children brought the utensils, and everyone was doing it, in an orderly and harmonious atmosphere.

Whether it is tables, chairs or tableware, the style is very simple, the Amish people are taboo with colorful images and decorations, and the picture of their life is always particularly clean.

The meals are also very simple, such as boiled chestnut rice, lamb stewed in a large pot, cold dishes tossed with wild garlic or chili oil, fried fish, fried meat, and various fried vegetables.

Hans said, "Your craft can come in handy here, do you want to show it?"

Li Du smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm really showy, let's respect other people's eating habits, isn't it good to say this?"

Interestingly, the Amish people put ice cubes in their cold dishes, and some chopped fruits also put ice cubes in them.

Li Du wondered if they didn't use refrigerators and ice machines, so where did these ice cubes come from?

As a result, Thomason showed him the legendary cellar, where they would make ice cubes in the winter and store them in preparation for the summer heat.

Before eating, the Amish people were going to pray, and Li Du and the others got out of the way and watched the crowd pray to God devoutly.

The Amish people still do not have a prominent church, and their church, like their farmhouse, is simple, unpretentious, and durable.

The old-school Amish people did not go to church, and they took turns congregating in their respective farmhouses for worship.

For many families, the church is set up in their own home, and the pastor is a married adult man, who sits separately and prays to God.

It was time for pre-dinner prayer, with men and women sitting on either side of the table, some reading the old version of the Bible to guide and others following.

Since they used the High Germanic language to pray, Li Du could not understand what they were saying, and he asked Hans, who did not understand either.

After the prayer is over, it is time to eat.

The food of the Amishi people is their own vegetables and grains and their own livestock, they do not use pesticides, do not use chemical fertilizers, so the vegetables and grains they grow have another fragrance.

It's just a simple steamed rice and poured with a thick broth, but it tastes different.

There are no condiments in the boiled mutton, probably just put onions, ginger and garlic, which is a bit similar to Chinese cuisine, preserving the original flavor of mutton, the meat tastes average, but the soup is delicious.

After lunch, Ashley brought up a pot of fruit, which had ice cubes to chill, and now the ice cubes dissolved, just in time to make the fruit cold.

Hans burped and said, "The meat here tastes great, we should trade a little to take home." ”

Thomas said with a smile: "Neighbors should get along with each other, whatever vegetables you want, come with me to pick some in the vegetable field later." ”
