Chapter 301: How about raising a few little piglets
"Okay, don't talk about it, a few of you men put the table together, let's eat outside, the sun is not bad today, it's quite warm."
Just when Gao Xi and the others were chatting happily, Liu Peipei came out of the kitchen and shouted at them.
A few people hurriedly got busy, moved a round table from the living room, and then put the chairs on it, this is a round table made by the old man himself, although the wood is only ordinary wood, but this table made by himself is particularly emotional.
Chinese like to eat around the table, preferably a round table, because the dish is placed in the middle, no matter who is about the same distance from the dish, which is also scientifically based.
Most Americans have a separate meal system, so there is no concern about this, but Chinese are different, everyone eats together to be lively, whether it is hot pot or a big meal, it is all around the table, which is also a characteristic of Chinese culture.
After the table and chairs were set, Gao Xi and Gao Kefeng went to the kitchen to help bring out the dishes, because she was happy, the old lady made more than a dozen dishes, some American and some Chinese, anyway, as long as the taste was good.
After the dishes were put on the table, the old man went to fetch the wine, and Gao Xi said that he was going to drive home and couldn't drink, so the old man was a little unhappy.
"What? I have to go back, you and I hit it off at first sight, even if I'm a lot older than you, but there is such a thing as a year-old friend, you don't want to be friends with me, right? "The old man is really straight, what to say, and he doesn't beat around the bush at all.
Gao Xi didn't say anything polite to him, and explained: "No way, uncle, I can not go back, but Haijuan can't, Haijuan is still with a tour group, she has to go back before the evening." ”
"Brother, it's okay. Drink it, and I'll drive back. Xi Haijuan said with a smile.
"I forgot, you've got your driver's license here. Okay, uncle, I'll have a good drink with you today, but you have to take the good wine out, I can't look down on ordinary wine. Gao Xi said with a smile.
He is very relieved that Xi Haijuan drives, because Xi Haijuan has several years of driving experience in China, although he has never bought a car, but he often drives the company's car. Generally speaking, drivers who can drive in the country are mostly fine when they come to the United States, and there are many cars in the country, but there are few cars in the United States, so it is easier to drive.
"Hey, that's right, I have a bottle of liquor Moutai that my son brought from China, which is a good bar?"
"Count. Forget it, of course. ”
When the old man went to get the wine, the venture capitalists had just picked up their chopsticks and eaten two bites of food, when suddenly one of the phones rang, saying that there was something urgent. The three of them left you together, saying that if they had time, they would definitely visit the ranch in Gausai in the future.
After Gao Xi sent them to the door, he returned to the table, and the old man had already come out with the treasured Moutai wine.
"How did they go?"
"It's urgent."
"Alas. These young people are just too tired from work, and they will be tired and sick in the United States. That's a lot of money. The old man sighed and said: "Forget it, let's go, let's drink it, this wine is just one bottle, it was produced in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has been decades now, the real old wine." ”
"But doesn't he drink it?" Gao Xi glanced at Gao Kefeng and asked.
"I can't drink liquor, just drink a drink." Gao Kefeng shook his head and said.
"This kid really can't drink, the last time I forced him to drink two cups with me, but he drank a glass, and he was already vomiting, and he almost scared me to death. These people are really born with no drinking. The old man said with a smile.
"Then forget it, let's drink, let's get drunk today, it's not easy to meet my fellow countrymen in the United States." Gao Xi was really happy in his heart, and felt that this old man was also interesting, so he simply wanted to let go of the drink today, anyway, even if he was really drunk, the spring of life could be used to relieve hangover, and it was definitely a medicine to cure the disease.
Gao Kefeng said with some worry: "Brother Xi, you should drink less, you have such a big ranch, there must be a lot of things, if this is delayed because of drunkenness, it will not be good." I don't think my uncle wants that to happen. ”
When the old man heard this, he thought to himself, so he said to you: "But the wind reminded me that I was right, I almost forgot that your ranch is much bigger than my small farm, and I am very busy with my farm, and your ranch must be even busier." Although the fellow is really happy to see the fellow today, it is better to drink less. ”
When Gao Xi heard this, he smiled and said: "It's just a drink, how can there be so many things, my ranch is big, but the cowboys are very attentive, there are not many things I need to worry about, anyway, you just have this bottle of aged Moutai, even if we drink it all, it may not be drunk." ”
When the old man saw Gao Xi like this, he said with a happy look on his face: "Not bad, yes, our great northwest gentlemen are bold." Although I haven't been back to Shaanzhou, I have heard my father talk about the things in the Great Northwest, and I have read a lot of novels about the Great Northwest, such as "White Deer Plain", "Ordinary Days", "Qin Dialect", etc., and I will shout two sentences of Qin Dialect. ”
As he spoke, the old man really yelled two sentences of Qin dialect, although Gao Xi didn't like Qin dialect, but after all, he had heard it, and knew that he was singing the "Three Drops of Blood" singing segment, which was still a repertoire made by the people there there.
"Well sung! Come on, come on, drink and drink! Regardless of whether the old man really sang well or not, of course Gao Xi wanted to cheer, and after the old man finished singing, he poured wine into the old man and his wine cup.
The sake cup is made of porcelain, which should have been bought from China.
"Cheers together!" Although Xi Haijuan, Liu Peipei, Gao Kefeng and the old lady of the family don't drink, drinks can also be substituted, so it's not a problem to have a toast.
"Cheers!"
The old man drank all the liquor, and then said: "I have been in the United States for many years, and I have rarely encountered such a happy day. ”
I have to say that this old lady's craftsmanship is still quite good, although most of the cooking is just home cooking, but the taste is really no worse than the hotel's. Let's just say that one of the dishes is just the most ordinary vinegared shredded potatoes, but the taste makes people feel endless.
There is also a dish of hot and sour soup, this is really soup, sour and spicy feeling, it can make people appetite.
Yes, yes, there is another dish Gao Xi thought it was a sweet potato at first, but after eating it, the old lady told him that it was actually an eggplant, which made Gao Xi suddenly open his eyes, I didn't expect that making eggplant can also make that kind of taste, praise is not good.
Because several of the people present were old Shaanxi, the old lady didn't prepare rice, but just prepared steamed buns and bread, but Gao Xi ate five steamed buns and ate his stomach round, so he put down his chopsticks, as if he hadn't eaten anything in eight lifetimes.
Of course, while eating, this drinking is unavoidable, Gao Xi said that he wanted to drink with the old man, and the bottle of Moutai belonged to the two of them, while drinking, while eating, anyway, this table of dishes, there are several that are appetizers, Gao Xi's favorite thing to eat is cold tofu skin and cold beef, the taste is good, and then drink a little wine, it really feels quite good.
"What's this?" There was a dish, Gao Xi didn't move, because he didn't know what it was, and he always felt a dark aura, and when he saw that the rest of the people were eating deliciously, he couldn't help but ask.
"This, this is the pig's large intestine, washed and fried and eaten, haven't you eaten it?" Liu Peipei asked suspiciously.
"Oh mom, I'm glad I didn't eat it, I haven't been able to eat animal offal since I was a child, including liver, heart, intestines and the like, I can't even eat pig blood, I can't stand the strange smell." Gao Xi stuck out his tongue, glad that he was wise enough not to move the chopsticks.
"Then try this freezing, it's made from the skin of our own pigs, what do you think it tastes like?" When the old man mentioned his own pigs, he was quite proud, after all, in the United States, there are really few families who will raise pigs.
Gao Xi tasted it, it tasted good, but he always felt a little uncomfortable, so he said: "I say don't be angry, this frozen taste is good, but it is not as authentic as our family, so let's do it, when I will bring you a few catties of pork, you can taste it and see how it tastes." ”
"Really?" The old man seemed a little unconvinced.
"This is true, I have also eaten pork on my brother's ranch, and compared with your uncle, the taste is indeed more fragrant and better." Xi Haijuan also said.
Gao Kefeng said in surprise: "Then this is strange, the uncle's pig grew up eating grass, and I haven't used feed to fatten, I have eaten pork in the supermarket, compared with the pork in the uncle's house, it is far worse, the uncle's pork tastes not only delicious, but also not greasy." Brother Xi, do you really have better pork on your ranch than this? ”
"I know you don't believe it, but it's no wonder that my pigs are quite special, and the way of raising them is similar to that of my uncle's house, but they not only eat grass, but also eat fruits, so it should be that their meat tastes more fragrant." Gossi was actually talking about porcupine.
He has hoped to get the porcupine out several times to raise, the meat tastes really good, but he is afraid that it will be too eye-catching, so he wants to see if he can cross the porcupine with this pig, the pork that is crossbred is estimated to be better, both the softness of the pork, and the tendon of the porcupine, which is considered to be alive.
It's just that he hasn't gotten this little piglet yet, so he hasn't done it yet. (To be continued......)
