Chapter 150: Recipes
"I'm sorry Mr. Berman, but I wish my lawyer could be present if I talk!" Bei Hai directly threw out this sentence.
Now the meaning is clear, if you want me to take a step back, it's no problem, talk to my lawyer, when the time comes, everyone will put out the biggest legal code in everyone's hands in front of the gong, if it is suitable, we will be private, and if it is not suitable, we will continue to see you in court.
Hearing Bei Hai say this, Berman had to say: "It's a pleasure to exchange views with you, and I hope we can talk about Gloucester face-to-face if we have the opportunity!" ”。
That's it!
Berman knew that he couldn't talk about anything anymore, not because Berman didn't want to be private, but because it was impossible to talk about it himself. Even if Bei Hai wins here, it is a matter of the police department, and if he comes forward, he will bring himself in, who would be stupid enough to do this as a political stick? Although the sheriff brought it up himself, he should let him block the bullet when he should have done it, not to mention that he brought the bullet himself.
When he tamed this stupid sheriff in his office just now, Berman hated the root of his teeth, and listened to the fool's defense, saying that he didn't expect Bei Hai to sue.
Berman thought to himself: You idiot could have thought that you wouldn't have been sent to this little town! Do you think a Chinese American would sue a white sheriff? Decades ago, the whole country was anti-Semitic, and who did you see who dared to shout to smash and rob some Jewish super-rich?
The people in this country are the most difficult to entangle, and the level of difficulty depends on the depth of the pocket! Berman knows this because he is also a difficult rich man, worth more than five million dollars!
After humming a couple of sentences. Bei Hai hung up the phone.
The sound of the call was not small, and Matt and Qi Yiming both understood the meaning of the big anger.
Qi Yiming jokingly said to Bei Hai: "The mayor called to settle this matter." You actually spoke in this tone, dragged out and beaten to death fifty times! ”。
"He's the mayor. Ignore him and that's it" Bei Hai put the phone in his pocket and said: "Besides, I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have not sued the government. ”。
"People with deep pockets are boring!" Matt said, shaking his head. Pocket deep in English refers to a wealthy person.
Qi Yiming looked at Bei Hai and stretched his head to the smoking room again, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and put on gloves and prepare to put the pickled fish in the smoking room!" ”。
Bei Hai went to find gloves when he heard Qi Yiming say this, now that he is not on the boat, Bei Hai is not the captain, so he naturally can't steal too much laziness.
Finding a stack of leather long-sleeved gloves and putting them on, Bei Hai walked to Matt and Qi Yiming's side. In front of the three of them was a large box.
Ho! After taking a look, Bei Hai directly sighed, there was almost a box of fish strips in the plastic box, and it was longer than an adult's arm and the thickness of the wrist.
Bei Hai knew it was the meat of bluefin tuna. However, the color is not as good as when it is fresh, and it looks good when it is fresh. When it is fresh, it is dark pink, and the best is close to rose red and translucent, and it looks like jelly, but now the meat loses its transparency and is a little darker.
"Isn't it a little too pickled? Without the sparkling strength of the bluefin meat, the grade dropped a few layers at once" Bei Hai looked at this flesh and felt a little dissatisfied, and his tall appearance was not retained.
"How do you smoke the water in the meat without marinating it?" Matt glanced at Bei Hai and only explained one sentence, and then he was not interested in saying more: "Hurry up, take out this meat." It's been marinated for five or six days, and the delicious marinade has soaked into the meat, so it's time to go into the smokehouse! Guys. Morgan's family smoked fish is about to start entering the smokehouse."
Matt's shouting and screaming advertising sound made Bei Hai and Qi Yiming laugh.
"Hurry up and get to work!" Matt urged.
When Qi Yiming and Bei Hai heard this, they followed one hand and lifted a fish strip and walked towards the smokehouse.
"That's why it's supposed to be that way. The area of the circle is the smallest! Bei Hai once again stood on the edge of the smokehouse, and coiled the two pieces of meat in his hand into two balls and put them on the wire smoker respectively. The smoke frame is equivalent to a small partition up and down, and the mesh on it is very large, which is conducive to the ventilation of smoke.
Qi Yiming looked up at the two lumps that Bei Hai had set up and said disdainfully: "Your math is taught by the vocal teacher?" Also round the smallest area! Look at how many of your lumps are placed layer by layer, and how many can be placed in a straight line like me, you can see for yourself."
After listening to Qi Yiming's words, Bei Hai looked at the other people's layer, and then saw that his six lumps were really full, and Qi Yiming could at least put five or six more there, needless to say, there were still many people's houses.
"The math teacher hurt me!" Bei Hai directly pushed the reason to the head of the math teacher, and then began to divide the lump of meat that had been laid out again.
It took almost half an hour, and the two large boxes of fish strips plus some whole fish should be hung and put into the smokehouse.
"That's it! Let's smoke! After placing the last fish, Bei Hai looked at the full smokehouse on the ** floor with satisfaction, and said to Matt.
After shouting a few times, they didn't see Matt coming over and nodding, Bei Hai and Qi Yiming turned their heads to look for Old Matt, and when they turned their heads, they found that Old Matt was squatting next to the three plastic pockets, holding a book in his hand that looked like a notebook and flipped through it, stretching out his head and reciting words while flipping through.
Bei Hai turned his head to Qi Yiming next to him and quipped: "You see that you have to recite a spell when you smoke a fish, Matt is too dedicated!" ”。
The two of them said as they walked over to Matt.
"Finished chanting? Hurry up and smoke it after reading it, Bei Hai and I haven't seen how to make smoked fish" Qi Yiming squatted down, looked at the three pockets in front of Matt and said.
Sticking out his head, Bei Hai took a look and found that the three pockets in front of Matt contained something like sawdust, which was very thin and pure.
"What a spell, I'm looking at the recipe" Matt shook his head at the two of them, carefully closed the notebook in his hand, and lightly placed it on the small table next to him.
"Recipes!" When I heard the recipe, Bei Hai became interested: "Can I take a look?" ”。
Matt picked up the notebook and put it in Bei Hai's hand like a baby, and then solemnly admonished: "Be careful, this is the recipe left by my mother when she was alive, every time I smoke fish, I come according to the above description, and some of the latter are added by my wife."
Listening to Matt say this, Bei Hai knew that the notebook in his hand was very important to the old Matt, and if he didn't say anything else, he would talk about the recipes on it to the two very important women in his old man's life, think about the meaning of this.
Bei Hai sat directly on the grass next to him, and flipped up the notebook from the beginning, the front should be written by Matt's mother, the old man's handwriting is not very good, but fortunately, it is still neat, this note is really a recipe, what is written on it is some homely practices, what materials to put and what fire, the memory is very detailed, and the small half of the notes in the back are very beautiful, because it should be Matt's wife's handwriting, and more than a dozen dishes are also written.
Having lived in the United States for many years, Bei Hai has heard of family recipes, many families in the United States will have such recipes, the mother records them, and then passes them on to their daughters or daughters-in-law, and then passes them down like this, some of which can be passed down for generations. I've heard of it but I've never seen it, but today Bei Hai is the one I've seen with my own eyes.
Although it is recorded in some home-cooked dishes, such as single-pot pasta, beef cream and mushroom soup, etc., it is not very cumbersome to make, but this small menu is not a complete description of the dishes described above. Behai believed that this thing could be worth more to Matt than his house. From just watching Matt flip it carefully, he can push out one or two.
Carefully closing the recipe and putting it back in its place, Bei Hai asked Matt, "What are you going to do?" ”。
"Mix three kinds of sawdust according to a certain ratio, so that the smoked fish will have an excellent taste, these three sawdust are soft maple, white pine and white oak, according to the proportion is easier to smoke, and the smoked fish has a unique woody taste! ……”。
Matt said it was quite exciting, but it was obviously the rhythm of playing the piano to the cow, and Qi Yiming and Bei Hai, two people who had never even eaten smoked fish a few times, said that these things were obviously about chickens and ducks.
"When tomorrow the leftovers are finished, you will know as soon as you eat them. It's best to find another person's smoked comparison," Matt said confidently, taking a portion of the three bags of sawdust and putting them together. (To be continued......)
