Chapter 194: The Origin of Gold Coins (1st Update)

"Come on, it's time to eat!" Holding a plate of lobster, Jiang Hai walked to the table with a smile, and said with a smile to the three girls who had been waiting here for a long time, hearing Jiang Hai's words, Centi-Clive, Dalena and Marianne all ran to the kitchen to help Jiang Hai carry things, and after a while, the big table was full of food.

Jiang Hai used to cook, otherwise he wouldn't have starved to death in the year he stayed at home.

But because he had money later, and because he was lazy, he was reluctant to fire at home, so he gave Mrs. Philippe some money and went to her every day to eat, but he would still make breakfast himself.

Sometimes, however, it is not easy for him to go to Mrs. Philippon's house to eat, as is the case now.

He took Dalena and Marianne with him, and there was a saying, but with Cindy Clive with him, Mrs. Philemon might not feel anything inconvenient, but Cindy Clive would feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, he was about to pick up his old slightly suffocating craft and cook a meal.

Fortunately, Western food was not too difficult in the first place, well, of course, it means that the Western food made by Jiang Hai is not too difficult.

He made a total of four dishes, baked lobster with cheese, steamed abalone with garlic vermicelli, braised sea cucumber, and fried steak.

These four dishes are actually not very difficult to make, cheese baked lobster is very simple, first put the lobster caught by Jiang Hai yesterday, insert a drill into the tail, this is to urinate, and then knock the lobster to death, just like knocking fish.

Then turn the head and tail on. Throw all the claws off your body. There's no meat in them, either.

Then cut the tail with the most lobster meat from the vertical line in the middle. Marinate with salt, wine, ginger ale, etc.

Then put it in the oven and bake it until it is half cooked, take it out, spread it on top with cheese and breadcrumbs, and then sprinkle some pepper on the top, and then put it in the oven to bake and dissolve the cheese, and you can do it, of course, Boston lobster is different from ordinary lobsters. Its two large tongs also have a lot of meat in them, and this one needs to be cracked, and it is also edible.

Steamed abalone with garlic vermicelli is also very simple, soak the vermicelli first, these are all bought by Jiang Haihai in the old man's store at the last time, otherwise, it is not easy to buy vermicelli in the United States, and the people of the United States do not eat this very much.

Then wash the abalone and scoop out the meat with a knife. Then throw away the abalone entrails.

Cut the meat on top of the abalone a few times, but do not cut it. You can cut it into a pattern like a kidney flower, put the vermicelli into the abalone shell, put the abalone on top, turn on the fire and fry the garlic that has been turned into garlic residue until fragrant, and then put in some steamed fish and tempeh.

Then spread the fried ingredients on top of the abalone, put it in a steamer and steam it for five to six minutes, and then sprinkle some chives, chili peppers and other things on top according to your own taste, and then pour boiling oil, and this is done.

After the abalone is made, it is fragrant and delicious, but the taste is not too rushing, in fact, Jiang Hai dug such a big abalone, it is a bit of a waste to eat it like this, but Jiang Hai doesn't care, because he has these things here, and there are.

Roasted sea cucumber with green onion is a very home-cooked dish in China, but generally speaking, dried sea cucumber is used, such as Jiang Hai uses fresh sea cucumber is really not much, but Jiang Hai has this resource, after all, fresh sea cucumber is exposed to the air for more than ten hours and disappears.

And Jiang Hai caught these things, and before he could reach a few hours, he ate them, so he dared to use fresh sea cucumbers.

As for the final fried steak, it is also relatively untechnical, the most important thing about the steak is two aspects, one is the fire, the other is pickling, Jiang Hai's steak is all chilled, Mrs. Philip helped him marinate it, as for the fire, he only eats fully cooked.

Dalena and Marianne didn't have a problem with this, they couldn't eat steak before, and now they don't care how cooked it is, and Cindy Clive doesn't care, to be exact, she also likes to eat fully cooked.

Four dishes, although it seems that the number is not much, but the amount is definitely large enough, that one lobster weighs eight or nine catties, sea cucumber Jiang Hai used at least half a catty, the big abalone that is half a catty, Jiang Hai steamed eight, each person is two, and steak, I really care enough, about three taels of one, he made ten pieces, just with him and three women, it is not easy to eat it.

"Come, let's eat!" After putting everything on the table, Jiang Hai also shouted and started eating.

He didn't believe in Christ, so naturally they wouldn't do the prayer before the meal.

With Jiang Hai's order, Dalena and Marianne here also picked up their chopsticks and ate them as soon as possible.

Originally, these two girls didn't know how to make chopsticks, but with Jiang Hai here, they couldn't make it.

It turns out that these children are indeed quite smart, this has taken a few months, and it has also made a good appearance, maybe there is some trouble in sandwiching some more difficult things such as beans, but it is still not a problem to clip ordinary things.

As for Cindy Clive, it's not the first time I've eaten here, so naturally she won't be inhibited.

"By the way, did you read that notebook? What is written. After killing a large piece of steak in a few bites, picking up nearly a third of the lobster's tail with a chopstick, and then eating a huge abalone, Jiang Hai's stomach was temporarily gentle, so he turned his head, looked at Cindy Clive and asked, Cindy Clive also knew that Jiang Hai had such a temperament.

So I didn't care about my ladylike image, and I talked while eating the lobster meat on my plate.

"I probably understand that the person who wrote this diary is called John Wiltord, a British naval lieutenant, and the things recorded on it should be at the time of the Second Revolutionary War."

Hearing Cindy Clive's words, which were similar to what Jiang Hai thought, Jiang Hai couldn't help asking, "It's written in English?" ”

"Yes, but it's normal that you can't read it, because this is not the English you are learning now, but traditional English, somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese language? Belch. That may not be the right way to describe it. But it's about the same. Seeing Jiang Hai's puzzled gaze. Cindy Clive explained with a smile.

It turns out that English is not what it is now, it is also constantly evolving, constantly evolving.

Until now, there are also two branches of English, one British and one American.

In fact, in Jiang Hai's voice, the words between the two are similar. But in fact, in some small grammar and details, English and American English have branches that seem obvious to them, as if they are both Northeast dialects, and those of Liao Province and Heilong Province are completely different.

It may look a little similar to outsiders, but locals can clearly distinguish it.

This notebook is written in English, but it is not the current English, but it belongs to the British English that has not been simplified 200 years ago, and it is precisely because of this. So most of the words are taken apart, Jiang Hai knows them. But the consciousness is a little incomprehensible.

"Here's what it says......" probably explained to Jiang Hai, and Cindy Clive ate about the same, so she picked up the notebook and talked to Jiang Hai, and in her explanation, Jiang Hai probably understood the story.

Speaking of the War of Independence, most people will think of the Eight-Year War of the United States imperialism from 1775 to 1783, and it is precisely because of these eight years of war that they became independent countries in the world, freed from the colonial rule of Britain, France and other countries.

But what most people don't know is that in fact, the United States imperialism fought it once, that is, the Second War of Independence.

The period takes place between 1812 and 1815, and this period of history is not very glorious, because there was no winner in the end.

The cause of the war was because when Napoleon, the little man in Europe, was invincible, he wanted to unify Europe, and all the European countries at that time withered, but only the old man of Tsarist Russia was not convinced, and when the little man saw it, if you didn't accept it, I would you!

Then he went to find Lao Maozi, and he failed miserably under the ice and snow of Lao Maozi, and he was defeated, and the original Europeans looked at it, yo, it turns out that you are not so powerful! The trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and the people piled up.

Then Europe entered the stage of the Napoleonic Wars, and the human brain became a dog's brain, a black smoke, Napoleon's side was surrounded by strong enemies outside, and the royal family and aristocracy of France inside did not stop, and always wanted to restore.

In the end, the dwarfs lost, and the second war of independence of the American imperialism broke out at this time, and they also wanted a piece of the pie, but they did not dare to go to Europe, so they set their sights on neighboring, more developed Canada, and wanted to occupy Canada.

And Canada is the territory of Britain, naturally will not agree, the two sides just do it, and the Americans originally thought that Napoleon in Europe could hold on to it for a while longer, who knew that Napoleon was defeated so quickly, so that Britain put more troops into the battlefield, as a result, on the northern front, Britain played a triumphant song all the way, the first to occupy Maine, Massachusetts was naturally not spared, and once attacked Washington, the capital of the United States imperialism, a torch was burned.

However, because the battle line was too long, the army that landed in the south was defeated by the American army in several battles.

Finally, in 1815 the two sides ceased fighting and the borders were restored to their original state.

And the protagonist of this notebook was the captain of a supply ship in the British Navy at that time, this time when he came, in addition to the basic supplies, there was only one thing on the ship, military salary, because at that time Europe was in turmoil, money was naturally extremely chaotic, only hard currency, gold and silver coins, soldiers only collected, and the number of silver coins was too much.

So this time, he was ordered to escort a hundred boxes of gold coins to the US imperialists to hand over to these expeditionary soldiers, but unexpectedly, the ship arrived, but the US troops counterattacked, in order to keep these gold coins, and in order to escape, he ordered to throw these gold coins into the ocean at that time, and then quickly escaped, and then came back and fished them up, but he must not have thought about it, but then his ship was sunk by the US army, and the US army found nothing on his ship, and he disappeared forever with this secret.

It wasn't until two hundred years later that Jiang Hai, who wanted to eat abalone, got it.

"One hundred boxes! Gollum, this time it's developed. Listening to the story of Cindy Clive, the corners of Jiang Hai's mouth became higher and higher...... (To be continued.) )
