144.China Road (6/15)
Evening is approaching, and night is falling.
In the distance, a series of fiery clouds appeared in the sky, and the red clouds hung in the air in layers, undulating as if a sea of fire had appeared in the sky.
The three Bibi brothers were barbecuing, and Charlie said to Wang Bo: "Boss, you can see the best Texas barbecue later, Bibby's family is a good barbecuer." ”
Charlie burped after a bottle of beer and said, "It doesn't look like that's the way Texas barbecues are made." ”
Barbecue may be the earliest way of human cooking, all countries have barbecue culture, among which the American barbecue form is very simple, completely the rough style of the New World, only need to use slow-burning wooden blocks as fuel, the large pieces of meat suspended on the fire barbecue, the technique is rough, and the taste is also full of wild taste.
The Bibby brothers have a delicate way of grilling, they take the grill and grill it over the fire, and when the grease is churning out, they sprinkle it with coarse salt and put it on the grill to roast again.
Roast until the coarse salt melts and penetrates, then they take the roast meat and beat it vigorously, shake off the salt grains that have not been roasted, and then spread a little lemon juice or tomato juice on top and cut it with a knife.
Edmund, the eldest of the Beebe brothers, said with a smile while applying lemon juice: "Yes, this is not a traditional American barbecue, this is Beeby's barbecue, try it, guys, give your opinion." ”
Wang Bo sandwiched a piece of grilled pork ribs, the lamb was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, and when he bit into it, there was no fishy smell, and then lemon juice was used, which tasted with a faint fruitwood fragrance, which was unique.
"Awesome!" Lao Wang never skimped on his praise, and then he raised the wine bottle and said, "Come, take a bite of barbecue jerky for Bibi's family!" ”
"Thank God for giving us food!" Several cowboys cheered and raised their beers.
When the cowboys started to eat the barbecue, a surprised voice rang out: "Wow, this sheep is amazing, lamb?" How can it be so tender? ”
Cowboys are experts in eating meat, and they know more about beef and mutton than ordinary people, and they can detect the difference in ranch mutton in one bite.
Wang Bo was accustomed to the surprise of the first person who ate the mutton on the pasture, and he grinned and ate happily himself.
Barbecue beer, fried chicken salad, these are the four kings of the American party, the group sits around the charcoal fire, eats meat, drinks wine and chats, like a group of old friends.
In late May, the construction of the third-class highway was finally completed, and Potter came to find Wang Bo to let him go and inspect it.
Since May, Lao Wang has been driving in and out, and the highway has been inspected I don't know how many times, and he is very satisfied with this highway, so he doesn't have to inspect it.
The last quarter of the final payment was paid to Porter, and the road was completed, which cost NZ$16.5 million to build.
Wang Bo's boldness and trust made Potter a little moved, this quarter of the balance can be given to him after a year or even two years, usually for a period of time, it is rare to be as happy as Lao Wang.
Once the road is repaired, the next thing is to name it, which is a very important thing.
Wang Bo has thought about this for a long time, he originally planned to use the latitude and longitude to name the highway, the east-west highway with the latitude + number, and the north-south highway with the meridian + number, for example, this road can become the meridian road.
But this naming method is not distinctive, so he named the road China Road, and later built roads, as well as names such as American Road and Russian Road, named after the country.
Only in this way can I show the domineering of my Sunset Town!
After the China Road was repaired, Wang Bo suspended the planning of road construction, and winter was coming, which was not a good time to build roads. But the town definitely needs to build roads, roads to pastures, roads to communities, and a lot more to build.
After repairing the road, travel is simpler, and Wang Bo can also be used to learn to drive.
There is no better place to practice driving than China Road, which is flat, wide, and has no pedestrians, so you can drive as you want.
Lao Wang didn't have a driver's license yet, so he couldn't travel freely, and after the road was repaired, he began to learn to drive.
Charlie was his coach and opened from the interface between Highway 8 and China Road, where the convenience store was located, and he forced Wang Bo to buy him a hot cup of coffee, saying that it was tuition.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Charlie enjoyed a hot coffee and said: "Actually, you shouldn't be in a hurry to get on the road, you can learn a little traffic knowledge first." ”
Wang Bo was impatient: "If you teach you to teach you to step on a horse, I still need to learn traffic knowledge?" I don't understand the truth of red light stop green light? ”
Charlie rolled his eyes, and there happened to be a sign at the intersection that said the number 50 on it, and then a slash was put on it, so he casually asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Wang Bo saw that the shape of the sign was P-shaped, and he knew that P meant parking, so he sneered and said, "No parking, right?" ”
Charlie was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you think of this?" You see, there's numbers on the sign. ”
Lao Wang felt that something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "What does that number mean, 50 cars are prohibited from parking here?" ”
Charlie was immediately mad: "You ****, this is a sign of a fifty miles speed limit!" Shet, you don't even know this and dare to drive? Let me go! ”
Lao Wang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, stepped on the clutch, hung neutral, started the car and then stepped on the clutch to hang a gear, let go of the clutch to fuel, and the car ran out.
He has been sitting in the co-pilot during this time, watching the people around him drive every day, and the transformation of the lord's heart to him has enhanced his learning ability, in fact, the skills of driving have been almost learned.
However, Charlie still has a cup of hot coffee in his hand: "Schett, burn me!" ”
It only took one day, Lao Wang drove like a decent car, he drove back and forth, Anderson, who was in charge of the convenience store, knew that he did not have a driver's license, and deliberately joked: "Boss, driving without a license will go to jail." ”
Wang Bo hung the police badge outside the window and said proudly: "I'll step on the horse to see who dares to check me!" ”
Hani was coming to buy cigarettes, and when he saw it, he beckoned and said solemnly: "Stop, officer, I'll look at your driver's license." ”
Lao Wang didn't give it, the inspector didn't have such a big authority, traffic management is the job of the police, and the small town police are one, himself.
After learning to drive, Wang Bo applied for a driver's license test online, and the time was in June, and he still had enough time to study.
In the evening, the domineering president Battier suddenly called: "Wang, how are you doing?" ”
Worried about the domineering president worth hundreds of millions or even billions, Lao Wang was a little flattered, but he couldn't show it, and said calmly: "It's not bad, what about you?" ”
Battier was silent for a moment and said, "It's not good, I have something to trouble you." (To be continued.) )
