1524. Opening up new industries
The roasted fat bird in Kapalai is also in progress, and he has treated the short-tailed shearwater in the morning, smeared it with a layer of salt, and stuffed its belly with lemon, rosemary, and garlic.
After eating the fried fish, he took the condiments from the bob's belly and replaced them with a mixture of onions, green peppers, garlic, Italian herbs and peppercorns, and he wrapped the bobtail shearwater in some green leaves, which he finally pasted on the outside and roasted in the fire.
Seeing this practice, Qin Shiou knew in his heart that there is a similar cooking method in China, which is called Huaji. However, the outside of the chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves, and he asked about the green leaves used in the capalai, which turned out to be bay leaves, which are a very common condiment in Cuban cuisine.
In this way, the beer keg is opened, the thick puree beer is poured out, and everyone gathers around the campfire to wait for the Cuban roast chicken to be baked, the bonfire banishes the chill of the spring night, and you can chat and drink at the same time.
Because of fermentation, the beer brewed in the home workshop has a much higher degree of beer, which has to be more than ten degrees or even higher. However, this beer is more fragrant and tastes better.
At low tide in the evening, the fishermen touched some seashells, scallops, oysters, mussels, clams, clams and the like mixed together, and the fishing ground had a grill, which was put on and grilled, and nothing was put in, just waiting for the shells to be roasted and put a little chili sauce on them, which was very suitable for sake after being roasted.
A glass of beer was served, and the roasted shorttail shearwater meat was almost done, and the group spread out the bonfire, which contained more than a dozen sturdy mud eggs, smashed open with sticks, and a fragrance mixed with fresh grass and trees came to the nose, which was extremely rich.
The mud egg knocked open. Xiong Da, who had eaten and drunk and frolicked together, suddenly looked his sparkling eyes in the direction of the campfire, which took the lead in front of him, and the tigers and leopards followed behind. I came up with saliva to eat.
Winnie cracked one open and divided the chicken thighs among the tigers and leopards, the largest chicken breasts among the bears, and the back meat among the little turnips and Simba, and the little ones immediately began to gobble up.
The meat of the short-tailed shearwater is very strong, which is inseparable from its habits, and it is a bird that circulates the earth once a year. Every piece of bird meat on its body is full of power.
Qin Shiou had eaten short-tailed shearwater meat a few times before, all of which were eaten by the flavor of this meat itself, and the most common way was to fry it. Like fried chicken, it is easy to make, but it wastes the deliciousness of bird meat.
There are many steps in the process of Kapalai, starting with the bird's belly stuffed with spiced greens. Later, when roasting, add other spices and vegetables. In this way, the bird meat has a fresh aroma of vegetables and fruits, and you will not get tired of eating too much.
The most important thing is to grill it with mud, so that the aroma of the meat and vegetables cannot be leaked, and these aromas are repeatedly intertwined in it, and finally a mixed aroma is formed, which surpasses the taste of bird meat and the taste of vegetables and fruits.
Sports are the twins of beer, and a group of people drank and talked about sports, and the black knives liked rugby the most. The fishermen like ice hockey the most, and Geng Junjie and his party like football. We can't talk to each other.
Qin Shiou finally made a decision: "Everyone talks about basketball, BOSS, I only know basketball!" ”
Speaking of basketball, he asked Michelle how he was doing with his shooting practice recently, and Michelle said: "Coach Guo Song changed the shooting method for me, I used to use the second power method, and the coach said that this shooting is too slow, let me learn Stephen Curry's one-time power shooting action." ”
Qin Shiou nodded, Guo Song is professional in this area, this guy is a talent, if he doesn't become a judge and goes to basketball training, he can still make a lot of money.
He asked Gordon how his basketball practice was, and Gordon, who was happily gnawing on the legs of a fat bird, was silent when he heard this, and said weakly for a long time: "I'm studying hard now, all in order to achieve the annual goal." ”
Needless to say, Qin Shiou understands that this kid is tired of playing basketball and doesn't know what to change to play.
Among the five children, Gordon is a sports genius, he can quickly get started with anything, but he has no patience to play, and when he finds it boring, he goes to change to other projects, Qin Shiou thinks that this is no problem, he can find something that is really suitable for him.
The black knife asked him if he wanted to organize everyone to go to Toronto to watch the game together, Qin Shiou likes to watch the NBA, but he is too lazy to fly to Toronto, it is too troublesome, and he spends more time on the road than watching the game on the spot.
After thinking about it for a while, he said that when the Raptors make the playoffs, then the fishermen will have a vacation in the summer, and everyone will go to watch the series together. The playoffs have the tightest schedule, and you may be able to watch a series in 10 days.
After discussing sports for a while, a group of people began to complain about the economy, and Qin Shiou said: "Stop chattering here, as if you are making less money." ”
Shaq said helplessly: "We didn't make less money, but we spent more money, and the Canadian dollar is becoming less and less valuable, BOSS, why don't you send us RMB." ”
The Canadian dollar has fallen considerably over the past two years, which has led to a sharp increase in the price of imported food, especially beef, lamb and fruit. According to Statistics Canada, food prices in Canada have risen much more than the United States and European countries in the most recent year.
Winnie was also helpless, and said: "Now the impact of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar has become more and more significant, and our town has been affected, and we have to find a way to deal with it, otherwise the townspeople will march and demonstrate again." ”
This is a painful point, and most of the food in Canadian supermarkets, except for seasonal and local food, is imported from overseas and traded in US dollars. As a result, as the Canadian dollar weakens against the U.S. dollar, supermarkets shift the resulting increase in cost and price differentials to consumers, resulting in high prices.
Qin Shiou regretted this, but he is one of the beneficiaries, and the main food products imported by Canada are agricultural and fishery products, including live poultry, wheat, rapeseed, fruits and vegetables, and dried fruits, and there are also many aquatic products that need to be imported.
That's why the Canadian government cares so much about Newfoundland fisheries, which once had a fertile Newfoundland fishery that has developed Canadians' dependence on seafood, and when the Newfoundland fishery closes, this dependence has shifted to imported seafood, increasing the burden on people to eat seafood.
Qin Shiou asked the town what measures he planned to take to curb prices, and Winnie said: "The biggest price changes now are vegetables and fruits, and the climate in Canada is not suitable for the development of this kind of agriculture, so to curb prices, you can only be self-sufficient." ”
Farewell to the island's large open space, although these are mainly sandy and not very suitable for agriculture, Winnie is optimistic that since the fishing grounds can grow high-quality vegetables and fruits in such sandy places, there is no reason why the rest of the island can't grow them.
She said that she plans to recruit a group of people to build greenhouses and engage in vegetable and fruit planting, which can be regarded as opening up the tertiary industry in the town. (To be continued......)
