The time finally came on September 20th.

Early in the morning, the men and women in the villa began to get busy.

Joey, the head of the villa, divided his cowboys into two groups. As usual, under the leadership of Deputy Chief Manager Danny, the team was responsible for daily work such as inspecting the medicine fields and irrigating and weeding. The other group stayed in the villa with him, busy with the decoration of the lanterns, decorating the manor, and other trivial work.

The one qiē in the kitchen is fully entrusted to Luo Na, Elena and the new Chinese chef Chef Ma to be in charge.

Since the afternoon reception was held in the form of a buffet, Lorna and Elena started making all kinds of snacks early in the morning. Throughout the morning, the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma of cream, and then a salty aroma mixed with pepper and rosemary.

Plates of traditional American snacks such as Howard Cakes, Fried Bananas, French Fries, Baked Potatoes with Cheese, Brownie Petit Cakes, Maple Baked Crepes, Egg Pudding, Donuts, Chocolate Ace, and Cinnamon Muffins were brought out of the kitchen. Basically, every plate of dim sum comes out of the oven, and the master and apprentice have to hold a small plate and put a little bit of it, which is called "tasting".

Even all the men in the cottage, including Austin, would come into the kitchen from time to time. One moment he said that he was here to pour coffee, and the other said that he was hungry and wanted to take two snacks to cushion his stomach. Anyway, when everyone leaves the kitchen, their hands and stomachs are not empty.

Luckily, Rhona and Elena were well prepared. Each dim sum was roasted at least three times in order to withstand the locust-like hands of this group of people.

On the other end, Chef Ma is also busy preparing a variety of Chinese cold dishes.

After hearing that a reception would be held in two days, the conscientious Chef Ma asked Joey to send him a driver and porter on the second day of his stay at Koizumi Villa, and then rushed to Bozeman's Chinese supermarket that afternoon to bring back a lot of Chinese ingredients.

Crystal frozen pork, jellyfish head in sauce, sand ginger white cut pork, cold enoki mushroom jellyfish shreds, cold mushrooms, duck gizzards, marinated chicken wings, oyster pancakes and other Cantonese and Fujian cold dishes are all a piece of cake for Chef Ma.

Pei Pei also enthusiastically started with Chef Ma, and learned a lot of simple cold dishes from the teacher.

At lunchtime. The big guys all think of themselves as food testers. Eat with a mouth full of oil.

In the afternoon, the chefs in the kitchen continued to get busy and began to prepare all kinds of hot dishes.

Rhona and Elena are still the same three-plate axes. In addition to traditional dishes such as T-bone steak in red wine, pork cutlet with cheese and ham, baked ham with pineapple, roasted turkey with apple, BBQ chicken wings, Wadolph salad, roasted mix with cream, boiled sweet beans, omelet, stir-fried mushrooms with ham and bacon, and many other traditional dishes, they also prepared a number of marlin salad sandwiches as the main dishes.

Comparatively. Chef Ma is busy in front of another stove. The dishes he prepares are much more complex. However, this complex process is also relative to American cuisine.

Because it is a buffet style, Chef Ma does not have the time and energy to cook too complex dishes.

So, he's aiming at today's banquet. The meat dishes prepared are: steamed pork swallow, taro button pork, salt and pepper shrimp, barbecued pork, garlic bone, squirping pork, stewed beef brisket with radish and braised sea cucumber with green onion, a total of eight traditional Fujian and Cantonese dishes.

In terms of vegetarian dishes, there are six kinds of vegetarian dishes: Luohan Zhai, tofu box, southern milk coarse clay pot, double mushroom Zhengyan, fried Si noodles and three fresh stuffed pumpkins.

As for the main dishes, Chef Ma prepares the most traditional of Cantonese cuisine, the claypot rice and the vegetarian seafood fried rice.

It was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone in the villa finally completed all the preparations for welcoming guests in the early stage. At this time, the guests also came to the door one after another.

The first to arrive was the nearest old Tofer's family.

Old Topher finally changed out of his year-round denim vest today, and instead wore a casual formal suit, and walked happily to the owner and wife of the cottage with his wife, Anna.

Seeing the figure of Old Topher and his wife walking towards her, Pei Pei suddenly remembered one thing she had forgotten to tell her husband.

So, she gently tugged Austin beside her and whispered: "My dear, when you deal with guests for a while, don't say that you were the owner of Xiaoquan Villa, and don't say that you work on Wall Street!" ”

"Why?" Austin asked curiously, looking down curiously.

"Most of the guests here today are traditional family-oriented ranchers and ranchers, and you hold a computer every day to look at the transaction price of the futures index, can you still not know that the price of forage has been getting higher and higher in recent years, while the price of the beef futures index with an ordinary quality inspection rating is getting lower and lower?" "When all the old guys have arrived and had a few drinks together, they have to curse the Wall Street vampires twice," Pei Pei explained. So—"

Pei Pei looked up and winked at Austin, "My dear Mr. Vampire, remember for a moment in front of all the guests, please hide your other identity." When I introduce you later, I will say that you are an industrialist, anyway, this is not a lie, you are an industrialist, are you! ”

By this time, the figures of old Topher and his wife had come from far and near, and Pei Pei had no time to explain more. I had to greet them with a smile, and at the same time, I whispered to my husband next to me quickly: "The people in this town are basically cowboys, with straight personalities and hot tempers!" If they know you're one of the vampires on Wall Street, they'll show you a look on the spot! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Topher and Anna were already close at hand.

"Hey, Uncle Topher and Aunt Anna, welcome to you, how are you doing?" Pei Pei opened her hands and greeted old Toph and his wife with a smile on her face, and then greeted each other with a hug and a close greeting.

"Hey, little Peel, is this your husband?" After the old Topher and Pei Pei finished hugging, she enthusiastically extended her hand to Austin beside her: "Hello, I'm Topher Laurent, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

"Hello, I'm Austin Hercules, Pell's husband!" Austin stretched out his hand and shook it back, then greeted with a smile, "Welcome both!" ”

"Mr. Hercules, you are a lucky boy! Little Pell is the goddess that all the young lads in our town adore and look up to, and when the lads hear that their goddess is married, do you know how envious and jealous they are of you? Old Tofer made a joke with Austin on a mocking look.

Austin raised the back of his wife's hand to her lips, bowed her head and imprinted a tender kiss, then looked up at Old Topher and smiled slightly, responding to the other party's joking words: "Of course I know how lucky I am!" ”

"Hahaha," Old Topher laughed heartily, "if I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would definitely have a duel with you for this beautiful and elegant lady beside you!" ”

When old Topher's wife, Anna, heard this, she chuckled. She pretended to be angry, reached out and slapped her husband's arm: "You old fellow, didn't you marry me thirty years ago?" How to drop? Are you implying that you are dissatisfied with me? ”

Old Topher touched his nose and sneered, "Hehehehehe Just kidding! ”

Then he turned his attention to the side and side, and said, "Oh yes, little Peel, I heard that you are going to introduce us to your master, what about others?" ”

At the same time as asking, Old Topher also pretended to follow Bruce Lee's appearance and made a nondescript kung fu gesture, "I'm an authentic kung fu fan, and I also have a nunchuck and a lot of Bruce Lee posters in my house." I heard that your master is a master of kung fu, so I'll have to talk to him for advice in a while. ”

Pei Pei replied with a smile: "My master and his old man are changing clothes upstairs now, and they should come down soon." ”

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived-Pei Pei's words just fell, and Old Man Peng happened to appear.

At this time, his old man had already changed into a silk white coat and kung fu uniform, looking like a fairy master, and slowly walked towards this side.

Pei Pei hurriedly greeted him, and then walked over with the old man in his arms.

I have to say that Old Man Peng's dress is still quite capable of bluffing, and he immediately calmed down Old Topher.

"This must be Mr. Peng who taught you kung fu, right?" Old Topher made a fist clenching motion, and then without waiting for Pei Pei to make an introduction, he introduced himself to himself: "Hello master, I'm Topher Laurent, it's such an honor to know you." ”

Old Man Peng was surprised, why was this white old man so enthusiastic when he saw him? He glanced suspiciously at the apprentice beside him.

Pei Pei explained with a smile: "There are basically no secrets in this town, and everyone in the town knows that I once studied with a teacher and can do such a two-handed kung fu. So, it's only been a day's work since your old man arrived here, and the people in this town who should know basically know it. Especially after hearing the news that your old man will live here for a long time in the future, they have long wanted to find an opportunity to communicate with you more. ”

In other words, in the days when Mr. Peng first came, every morning when he got up early to boxing by the lake, the cowboys in the villa would come next to him intentionally or unintentionally, pretending to imitate his movements and learn a few tricks.

Therefore, after Pei Pei explained this, Old Man Peng immediately laughed. (To be continued......)
