Chapter Seventy-Nine: Festive Fun (Happy Birthday!) )

Today is one of the most important festivals on the Santa Barbara side, derived from the Spanish religious festival of Ferasta Festival.

Santa Barbara, one of the most beautiful parks on the Pacific coast, was originally discovered and named by Spanish explorers, and the first people to develop and build it were of Spanish descent.

Today, Santa Barbara still has no shortage of people who have been passing on their own customs here, so the Voasta Festival has become an important holiday that triggers the mobilization of the whole people here.

Whether the people of Midi protest or celebrate, the only form they can think of is a procession.

The Voasta festival is no exception, with a grand parade today, which is of course open to all residents and visitors.

And if you want to participate, you can buy some easter eggs painted with colorful patterns, and there will be some small pieces of paper in them, representing auspiciousness and blessings.

Of course, their prices are not cheap, there are only 4 of them in a beautiful knife, and it is estimated that the cost of the colorful eggs is indispensable with the eagerness to try out of the fruit expression.

With Laura's help, the ladies of the family are now all wearing flowers on their heads, standing on the side of the street, and Laura is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

At Guoguo's insistence, she brought herself a flower the size of her little head, and there was always an effect on her head that made people laugh, so Guoguo harvested countless smiling faces along the way, which made Guoguo's love very high.

As the parade began, everyone also began to frantically smash Easter eggs at each other, and everyone was holding the Easter eggs in their hands and kept throwing them at the people around them or people they knew or didn't know.

The colorful pieces of paper that kept flying out of the smashed easter eggs were flying wantonly in the sky, decorating the surroundings with a more festive atmosphere, and also allowing Shi Lei's family to integrate into the sea of joy.

When the family had had fun and began to feel a little tired, Shi Lei opened the way in front and finally took everyone away from the crazy crowd.

The family leisurely walked to the second-floor platform of a street café, drinking coffee comfortably while continuing to enjoy the procession.

For lunch, we went to a Mexican restaurant together.

The appetizer is a special tomato sauce with roasted corn flakes, which will whet your appetite and is perfect as an appetizer.

After that, the clerk made a cold dish of zuò on the spot, mashed with avocado and some chili peppers, added some condiments such as black pepper, and stirred in a special black stone plate, which tasted good and was very nutritious.

Of course, according to Lao Mo's usual way of eating, he still uses roasted corn flakes as a spoon to eat.

The main course is several kinds of old Mo barbecue and teppanyaki, which are eaten with burritos. Of course, there are also various wraps that have already been rolled and can be ordered individually.

In fact, this burrito is very similar to the single cake that Shi Lei and they often eat in China, they are all thin one-layer cakes, and the taste is not too similar.

Paired with a variety of ingredients, such as chili flakes, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, etc., plus Lao Mo's favorite corn paste and vegetable puree, it tastes soft and delicious, and has the sweet taste of some vegetables and fruits, so that these dishes will not be greasy to eat, thus making people appetite.

For a family that has always eaten pancakes and often grew up eating single cakes, it is really not difficult to eat these things, and the wraps are more skilled than the clerk in wrapping them.

Finally, each person will be served a special drink from the store, and a delicious lunch will be over. And the things here are still delicious and inexpensive affordable types.

There's no way, there are too many old ink restaurants in California, especially in Southern California, and the ones that Chinese people like to do are almost the same, and there are many competitors, and the price will definitely not go up.

What's more, Lao Mo's food style is not very close to Gao Dashang, so he has to take the civilian route, and the price is close to the people and the amount has become the signature of most Lao Mo restaurants.

And many of their foods, such as burritos, can be used as fast food, which is very much in line with the needs of the Midi people, so it is not surprising that they are developing very well.

When the family returned home in the afternoon, Hanks had already bought the seedlings of chickens, ducks and geese arranged by Shi Lei. Now the seedlings have been put into the barn, where Hanks himself guards them.

Until Shi Lei and the others came back, Hanks handed over these things to Shi Lei for safekeeping, briefly talked about the situation of these seedlings and went to continue to do his own work.

In fact, I didn't buy a lot of seedlings in total, and there were only a few boxes, and there were about 100 in total. According to Shi Lei's arrangement, the main thing to buy is chicken, while ducks and geese are much less.

In order not to disappoint his mother, Shi Lei transformed the hundreds of poultry seedlings.

Chickens will become both meat and eggs, with the freshness of the dragon (flower-tailed hazel chicken), and the eggs produced are the eggs of green-shell laying hens, and the meat quality is as delicious as the meat of Luhua chicken, and at the same time, it is rich in nutrition, has both health care effects, and has a strong physique like a pheasant.

As for the duck, it will also be used for both meat and eggs, with better meat quality than Peking duck, and the best egg production exceeds the best egg duck of 220 per year, and at the same time has a very high content of pure white feathers, it should be said that it is a three-purpose meat and egg velvet.

When it comes to geese, Shi Lei will let them have the egg production of the open-eyed goose, the size of the lion-headed goose, and at the same time have better fat foie gras than the Lande goose.

In the future, when this batch of poultry grows up, it will become another important pillar product of the pasture. Among them, broiler chicken and foie gras are also best-selling things on the side of Midi.

With Shi Lei's transformation, these two things will definitely bring huge economic value to Shi Lei, and they can also better enrich the product line of Stone Ranch.

After Shi Lei transformed all these poultry seedlings, he handed over these seedlings to his mother as if nothing happened. The old mother looked at the seedlings happily, so that she had a job to do in a short time.

But my mother's face changed too quickly, and it wasn't like this when she crossed the river and demolished the bridge, she just received these seedlings, and then drove Shi Lei out.

She planned to requisition the place in the barn, which would be used as the living area of these seedlings in the future, but she thought that Shi Lei was in the way, not to mention that he couldn't help, and he still occupied a huge place, so she kicked him out.

Shi Lei simply ran to grind with Laura's ears and temples for a while, and inevitably said some affectionate love words, and after making Laura happy, Shi Lei went to the Zen room by himself and continued to conduct hand-to-hand combat and short knife and short stick combat training.

If you don't practice this thing for a long time, it will definitely be greatly discounted, and it's hard to say whether you can pick it up at critical moments, so it's necessary to keep training.

And my father now has his own heart, as soon as he has time, he runs to see the flowers and plants he planted by himself, watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil and pruning and pruning leaves from time to time, plus there is a garden of flowers and trees to take care of, in short, for him, this yard is full of work.

So he always lives a very fulfilling life, sometimes he can stand for hours just by looking at the flowers and plants he takes care of, although Shi Lei is a little incomprehensible, but as long as his father likes it.

My sister also took advantage of the afternoon time to go out, and she went out on Laura's mountain bike. Coming from China, which has always been known as the kingdom of bicycles, Shi Lan is certainly no stranger to cycling.

Besides, when she goes to work now, she usually goes there on a mountain bike, and this time she goes out to go around Santa Barbara, which is just right for a bicycle.

Shi Lan went to inspect the learning environment around Santa Barbara, especially the schools of all levels, and she still didn't know what the education level of the people was without seeing her in person. Of course, she still has the confidence that she can figure out what the level of a certain school is.

As for the elves' weird fruits, as soon as they returned to the ranch, they ran away, and just now Shi Lei saw a group of bear children tossing the poor beasts there.

Although the mythical beast is really suitable for children to ride, but after all, it is not cultivated as a mount, and it is used for riding and running, and this talent is a little unplayable.

In Shi Lei's view, this kind of second-hand goods is the same as huskies, which should be used to sell cuteness by nature, and it is unprofessional to do anything else.

Laura was seriously continuing her design, while Shi Lei stayed alone in the Zen room and practiced her fighting skills seriously.

He placed a wooden stake of the kind commonly used in Wing Chun in the Zen room, imagining the possible movements and reactions of the opponent while constantly putting his fighting skills to work.

Similarly, he has several standing and wading dummies that can be used to practice striking and ground skills. Since then, he has been constantly familiar with the various techniques of short knife and short stick fighting.

After reviewing all of them a few times, Shi Lei, as usual when practicing, walked out of the meditation room with two short sticks and came to the open space in front of the barn.

First, he practiced various offensive and defensive moves while dodging and moving on the plum blossom stake he made, and then came to the shaking wooden man formation that often hit people in the face, and began his painful and happy practice.

It wasn't until his whole body was sore from being hit by the shaking wood again that Shi Lei cleaned up his wolf appearance and returned to the main room to wash it.

By the time Shi Lei came to the restaurant, the family had already arrived. Dad finished cleaning up his beloved flowers and plants, and his sister had come back to help Mom tidy up a table of dinner. Laura was exchanging opinions with her mom about her dress.

Although his father Shi Yi is a more orthodox person, he is not old-fashioned enough to be the same as the ancient feudal patriarch, so there is no habit of eating and sleeping silently at home.

Everyone at the dinner table was exchanging their experiences today, especially the things they thought were interesting, and they couldn't help but share them with you.

This habit may also be a trick to maintain family harmony, because some things that you feel others are not doing are quite right, you can also say it in this relaxed atmosphere.

Especially Shi Lei's eating habits, Shi Lei's eating appearance was too fierce in the past, and when people saw it, they felt that the child was hungry at home, or he had never eaten anything good, and he stuffed it into his mouth when he caught something delicious, until he couldn't open the grinding in his mouth, and the chopsticks didn't stop.

Mom and Dad corrected him many times before he slowly improved. Of course, on formal occasions, Shi Lei's appearance is still okay, because of his father's words and deeds, at least he will not embarrass the family when he is outside.
