Chapter 423: Rhett's Spring (1)
Jack broke the law, but it was federal law, and he dragged the BAU team into the water.
Well, that's just an exaggerated title, he just invited everyone to eat a bowl of noodles, a very ordinary bowl of Yangchun noodles, and then poured a spoonful of "crab roe" on it.
What is "crab roe" is not a super ingredient made by grinding crabs into powder, but by carefully removing all the edible parts of the whole hairy crab.
Hairy crabs, whose full name is "Chinese mitten crab", are a serious invasive species in North America, and were once rampant in San Francisco, destroying river embankments and clogging drainage systems.
It once spread to the East Coast and almost flooded the Hudson River in New York.
However, the quality of hairy crabs is not a little worse than that of farmed crabs, and the water quality problems in North America are not recommended to eat them at all.
It is against federal law to smuggle live hairy crabs into North America, but every year, Chinese supermarkets secretly sell them through some underground channels, after all, the minimum price of $30 and the maximum price of $50 a piece greatly exceed the price of drugs.
As an FBI agent, Jack knew the law and bought 20 pounds of goods in an anonymous transaction, which was exciting and exciting, comparable to a spy blockbuster.
Well, it's still an exaggeration, it's just that Justin placed an order through the dark web, and someone sent a batch of hairy crabs from Seris through a special channel.
Then everyone was curious about what kind of food Jack had to toss out at such a great cost.
One day in October, after learning that the goods had landed, Jack rushed to the Wolf brothers' farm overnight and began the arduous work of peeling crabs.
Drunk the crabs with white wine to make the big tongs powerless to resist, soak in a little white vinegar, take a comfortable cold shower, and finally invite them all into the sauna.
Breaking off the pincers and legs of the steamed hairy crabs one by one, Jack then used only a pair of scissors and chopsticks to separate a large pile of crab shells at a rate of five minutes.
Divide the crab roe and crab paste and crab meat into two parts, then heat the oil, mix the pork and rapeseed oil one to one, add the green onion white and a little ginger and garlic, and then put the crab roe and crab paste into the pot.
It only takes seven or eight minutes, pour in the crab meat again, turn to low heat, add salt and a little white pepper, and finally put the flower carving, carefully collect the juice, and it is done.
The meat of hairy crabs bred in an excellent water environment is fresh and sweet, especially the fragrant, delicious and pure crab paste and crab roe, which are not possessed by any sea crab.
Cook a bowl of thin Yangchun noodles, sprinkle with chopped garlic leaves, and then pour a large spoonful of crab roe on it, the taste is simply indescribably delicious, and for a period of time after eating, no amount of tempting food can arouse people's appetite again.
After enjoying this delicious meal that costs as much as the best caviar, Jack's life also regained peace, reading and studying, and continued to try to write his first book and research some fantastic recipes.
On this day, Rossi had a whimsical idea and invited everyone to visit an art exhibition held in a private gallery in Hollywood, saying that he hoped to cultivate people's abstract thinking, not to hover between emotion and reason forever.
Of course, the moment they saw the charming gallery hostess, everyone understood what was going on, but since they were all deceived, they could only wander around.
Impressionist and Realist Jack can appreciate it, but he can't understand abstract art at all.
Red, a pure rationalist, and he are difficult brothers, and the two of them began to wander around boredly, tasting all kinds of small desserts served by the waiter, and they really found a little surprise.
A wine chocolate made in Russia evokes the same childhood memories between the two, one for you and one for me, and in the end they really competed like two children.
"How old are you two? If anyone knows you're the FBI, oh my! Emily had an exaggerated expression of doomsday.
The two men who didn't grow up couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, they were indeed a little forgetful just now, and the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies around them cast strange glances.
"It tastes good." Emily snatched the last vodka from the plate and smiled like a cunning fox.
Angry, but unable to attack, the two men looked at each other and began to discuss in a whisper how to retaliate back, until an exclamation came.
"Spencer Ryder, is that you?" A black guy in a casual suit stood in front of Red in surprise.
Jack looked at the stiff Red who was hugged by the other party with enthusiasm, "Look at you, it hasn't changed at all." ”
"Oh, Spencer, really, you were only 12 years old when we last met, and you haven't changed at all now."
The black guy's words almost made Jack laugh, which sounded like a compliment, how weird.
"Uh, thank you." Rhett was a little embarrassed to introduce everyone to each other.
"This is Pike Denley, we went to high school together, maybe you can understand that."
Of course, everyone understands, Red graduated from high school at the age of 12, and then entered the California Institute of Technology, who graduated from high school with a 12-year-old kid, and the other party still entered a prestigious school, and it is inevitable that there will be some jealousy in his heart.
This kind of small loss is already a very friendly attitude.
Red introduces the BAU crowd to Parker Denley, and Jiejie and Emily, who are dressed up to attend today, are a little eye-catching.
But before this guy could be courteous, Jiejie grabbed Jack's arm without a trace, and Emily took the initiative to hold Hodchner, making the latter's whole body stiffen.
Pike Denley was not embarrassed, he was a partner in the gallery, and naturally steered the conversation to the works on display, until there was a slight commotion at the door.
A girl of outstanding appearance appeared there, blonde hair, blue eyes, and graceful figure, and as soon as she appeared on the stage, she had some celebrity style, and when Pike Denley saw her, he greeted her with an exaggerated laugh.
"Lyra, I'm glad you're here, hey, Spencer, I'll introduce you to you."
"Am I really still like 12?" Red asked Jack in a whisper behind him.
"No, at least 18 years old." Jack patted his shoulder, which was gradually raised, this kid had long since shed his former thin bamboo pole size, and was now at least a thicker telephone pole.
"Come, Spencer, have you seen a real movie star?" Parker Denley was still greeting warmly.
Jiejie pushed the hesitant Red, who followed.
Sorry for being late.,There's a big plot in the back that is being overhauled again.,It's a little Carvin.,I'm sorry.。
