Section 16: Barbecue [Collect, Recommend]
Actually, Kenneth is living quite well. Although the www.biquge.info is said to be a black worker, that is, there is no green card and no relevant social security system, but these two people do not have to pay taxes.
Four thousand dollars a month for two people is already a high income in the remote countryside.
The house is dirty and messy, because they are lazy and unwilling to clean up. Wooden houses, there is no shortage of electrical equipment at home, and there are two cars. Ye Mu wants to apply for a green card for him, but he just wants to be included in the list of employees to facilitate management.
Kenneth cleaned himself up, Ye Mu pointed to the garbage next to him, and asked Hank, "Is the garbage from other families on the farm also littered?" ”
"No, we have garbage areas. After the garbage accumulates a lot, the garbage truck will come and haul the garbage away for disposal. Hank was also disgusted by Kenneth's garbage, he said.
"How often is garbage disposed of?"
"A week."
"After the next three days, the garbage is disposed of, and the money is paid by the farm. Kenneth, the garbage here is cleaned up in a week. And your house, which is not required to be cleaned every day, at least once a week. Ye Mu said mercilessly.
"Okay, I'll clean it every day from now on." Kenneth said with an embarrassed face.
"That's what you said. If I come over next time, I will deduct my salary if I see that it is still dirty and messy. Hank, this is clearly marked in Kenneth's employment contract. ”
Kenneth was only embarrassed, not angry. After all, this house is really messy.
Ye Mu continued: "It will be winter in more than a month. Kenneth, in a few days, drive the sheep back to the sheepfold, and find the people from the cattle farm to pull some fodder back and raise the fat sheep. Also, when we talk about the lambs after the spring of next year, you will have a few more people here. From now on, you will be the person in charge of Stone Canyon. ”
Kenneth was overjoyed and nodded his head in thanks.
Kenneth was in charge of slaughtering the sheep, and Ye Mu and Hank got in the car and left the valley.
Ye Mu went home first and took the seasonings brought from China.
The Huaxi Plain has fertile land and convenient irrigation rivers. It is an exaggeration to say that the river is nothing more than a stream from the mountains, three in all, flowing from different valleys and converging in the middle of the plain. The creek is five or six meters wide and no more than two meters deep. But along the river, there are large and small deep ponds dug by hand to irrigate the fields.
It's a broken river, and it's dried up before it gets out of the farm. Or the problem of geology downstream of the river, the water seeps into the ground, and there is an underground river.
The picnic was at the confluence of three creeks, and this one had a manicured lawn. A car was parked in the field next to it, and everyone brought wood, barbecue grills, tables, chairs, food...... Barrels of beer.
Several young people, children of farm workers, are fiddling with the stereo. The women brought their own food. The men sat on the side, basking in the sun and chatting.
"Hey guys, who's coming?" Hank clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Hello boss."
"Hello everyone, all sit down. You can call me Ye, because my single name, 'Shepherd', is so ugly in colloquial American. Of course, the title 'Ye' is also easy to misunderstand, so it's good for everyone to call me boss. 'Boss' means Boss in Chinese. Ye Mu said with a smile. At this time, Kenneth's wife came over in a pickup truck.
"Send three goats first, and the rest will be delivered later."
“OK!”
The goats were handed over to the women to deal with, and Ye Mu exchanged feelings with the employees here, and everyone got to know each other well.
Hank acts as an introducer, and Ron, a dark-haired Hispanic, is the position accountant. The rest were white, James, Joseph, Lore...... Ye Mu simply memorized the name, as for the surname is long and obscure, it is not something that can be remembered at once.
Then everyone played their own games, and a few bad old men played baseball. There are also people fishing, and this group of old men fishing is very interesting, using homemade hooks, the kind without barbs. The small fish caught are released, and the big fish is handed over to the 'cook' behind to be disemboweled.
It is a white-scaled fish with a long body and three fingers thick. Large fish are only a dozen centimeters, and those that exceed twenty centimeters are super large.
"What kind of fish is this?" Ye Mu walked over and asked.
"Hamchi, we call it the saury. Delicious and less prickly......"
"I'll have to taste it later." Ye Mu said with a smile.
Many people think that Americans don't eat freshwater fish because they hardly see freshwater fish for sale in supermarkets. There are even rumors in China that the United States has promulgated a law banning the consumption of freshwater fish. It's complete...... In the United States, only the Great Lakes region prohibits, not eats, but catches and sells. During the period of great development in the United States, many large rivers and lakes were seriously polluted by industry, and the fish in them naturally could not be eaten.
Also because of the European food culture, cheap and convenient marine fish can also be bought in supermarkets. As we all know, the United States is a mongrel country with a multi-ethnic fusion. There are also different cultures in terms of food......
Nothing can be generalized, a brick is slapped to death.
Here, for example, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, the nearest big city is an hour or two drive away. The local saury is delicious and has few spines, and Hank and his white Europeans will catch a few from time to time to try them. It is usually caught and cut into pieces and grilled at a party.
Ye Mu prepared the sauce and ignited the charcoal of the barbecue grill.
This is a special barbecue mechanism carbon, and when it is lit, the blower blows and the fire is flourishing.
Ye Mu went to serve two plates of sheep, three lamb ribs, a plate of beef and a few pieces of freshly picked fish.
Hank brought Ye Mu a glass of beer: "This is my own beer, the alcohol content is slightly higher than the beer sold on the market, slightly bitter, but more mellow." ”
Hank introduced his beer, and someone next to him immediately said, "Hank is an expert at brewing beer." He produces all the beer we drink on our farm. ”
"It's the same as you said, slightly bitter, but the fragrance is purer." Ye Mu took a sip and said. There was no open flame in the barbecue grill, Ye Mu put the meat on the barbed wire, first flipped it, grilled it until it was medium rare, coated it with sunflower oil, and then coated it with homemade sauce when it was medium rare.
"Boss, don't you need to marinate it before grilling? Will fresh lamb have a smell? ”
"If you try it, you won't know." Ye Mu took the plate in Hank's hand, sandwiched two pieces for him, and started eating it himself.
Barbecue, Ye Mu's old business. After graduating from high school, Ye Mu found his first job in a barbecue restaurant, where he worked for more than a year, from doing chores to becoming a 'chef'.
The sauce prepared by Ye Mu is slightly lighter according to the taste of Europeans and Americans, and it tastes good.
The sword is not old!
Ye Mu gave himself a satisfactory evaluation, ate a bite of meat and drank a sip of wine. Soon, a large crowd gathered around him.
