Chapter 635: Appreciating Art
In the afternoon, the early autumn sun shines through the thin curtains on the sleeping beauty on the bed, and the unique plump figure of the Texas girl outlines a striking arc under the sheets, just like a painting by John William Gweed.
(Idle Moments, 1895, John William Godward)
After a long time, a rich and seductive aroma entered the bedroom, Hannah's upturned nose subconsciously stirred, and her long eyelashes trembled for a long time, until the fragrance became more and more intense, and then she opened her eyes in confusion.
got up and stretched comfortably, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the slippery sheets to block the spring light, the little sweet girl laughed twice, seemed to be still reminiscing about something, and then was seduced by the annoying aroma and her stomach growled.
She jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom as fast as she could, and after a while, she ran downstairs wrapped in a sheet, and when she reached the living room, the smell of food became even more intriguing.
"Girl, I'm going to show you how to do it, and then let's start slowly, you just have to close your lips"
In the kitchen next to the living room, Jack hums Flo Rida's little yellow song "Whistle", and occasionally whistles a little bit, and although he doesn't sing all five notes, he whistles very well.
"Bad guys." Hannah ignored the slippery sheets, jumped onto his back, blushing and biting his ear.
"Be careful, be careful." Jack hurriedly put down the long-handled soup spoon in his hand and hooked the crook of the little sweet girl's legs, it was really not that he deliberately teased her performance last night, the original lyrics of others are like this.
On the stove in front of him was a king-sized soup pot, and the thick white beef bone broth in it was bubbling and bubbling, exuding a strange aroma.
This is the first batch of Angus steers slaughtered at the Chris brothers' farm, and the quality is quite good, in addition to more than 30 pounds of marbled eye muscles, the brothers also sent two sawn hind leg bones, a part of the cow vertebrae, several oxtails and more than 10 pounds of preliminarily processed tripe according to Jack's request.
Stewed beef bone broth is also particular, because the spinal cord in the stick bone contains too much oil, so it needs to be paired with some gelatinous beef vertebrae, and it is better to add a piece of oxtail to the extravagant, the stewed soup is thick and viscous, and after cooling, it will become jelly-like gelatinous, and a bite can make gout patients suffer on the spot.
While Hannah was still sleeping in bed, Jack was already busy, he had been boiling this pot of soup for more than four hours, and it would be perfect to put some fresh mushrooms and sprinkle a few goji berries, after all, some things can't just rely on healing, nutrition must also keep up.
In the next few days, the two of them didn't go out much except for the occasional trip to the supermarket to replenish some fresh vegetables and fruits.
After all, Rossi's penthouse is fully equipped, and there is even a dedicated gym and a private cinema, and the two of them have some residential attributes, listening to songs, reading books and playing games together, but they are also happy.
Jack isn't a big fan of fighting games, especially side-scrolling battles like Souls Ability 6, where a person squats in front of a computer and colors the map as his favorite.
But it's another thing to have a pretty girl next to him who always provokes him, and in order to get Jack to play against her, Hannah makes an offer that she can't refuse to whistle for him if she loses three games in a row.
After all, not liking and not being good at it are two different things, after being abused seven or eight times, and when he became familiar with the skills, Hannah, who was originally proud, changed his face suddenly, screamed and threw away the handle and wanted to run over the sofa to escape, but was caught back by Jack, who had been prepared.
Just as the big bad wolf showed a hideous evil smile and was about to clean her up, the disappointing mobile phone rang.
Jack grabbed Hannah, who had just tried to unsuccessfully unsuccessfully shed the golden cicada, and was still struggling desperately at this time, and picked up the phone with a smile, "Detective Regan, are those oysters still satisfied?" ”
"Uh, Jack, I remember you know several languages, I don't know how good your Chinese is?" Danny Reagan seems to be in some bustling place, and the background tone on the phone is very noisy.
"It depends on which dialect you're asking." Jack was stunned by his question, and his answer made Danny on the other side of the phone a little tangled.
It's not that Jack is hypocritical, it's really Lao Mei's special situation, he was a southerner in a broad sense in his previous life, but in the eyes of Lao Guang Fujian, he is a northerner in the real sense, after all, the name of Jiangnan, it depends on which river, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River can be regarded as rivers.
He has no problem with most of the dialects in China, at least he can listen to a rough idea, but he can't handle Wenzhou, Hokkien, and Cantonese, which are the most popular overseas.
I don't know if it is influenced by American dramas, most of the Chinese in this world speak a strange taste of fake Chinese, can't tell whether it is Cantonese or what, and there are strange English words in the middle, but it is much more difficult to understand than those Chinese English.
When he went to Flushing before, he had to bargain with the vendors most of the time by guessing.
But Danny didn't dwell on it for long, "Whatever, are you free now, I'm here in Chinatown in Downtown, and my brother James is in trouble." ”
At this time, Hannah also realized that there should be something serious, stopped playing with Jack, and waved his hand to let him leave quickly, anyway, they have played a lot of similar games between couples in the past few days, and every time she suffers, this time it is just right to rely on it.
"No problem, I'll come over now." Jack simply hung up the phone, grabbed Hannah and kissed her a few times, and then changed his clothes and went out.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening, and the two of them have just ended their vacation today, and tomorrow should be the time to go to work, so it's really not suitable to play too late.
After the autumn in New York, the temperature difference between day and night was very obvious, Jack changed his shirt, put on a beige British style long trench coat to cover the pistol on his waist, did not button it, and drove his plainclothes police lane Strange Hellcat out of the house.
"Your outfit reminds me of a comic book character." Danny blurted out the first time he saw Jack.
"Well, I didn't wear a dark red tie." Jack resolutely refuses to admit that he is dressed as the Zak of COS, although Hannah bought him this trench coat for this purpose, "Tell me about the situation." ”
Danny's younger brother, James Regan, was also dressed in civilian clothes, with a police badge on his chest and a slight look of fear on his face, "Two suspects brought guns and tried to kidnap a Chinese girl, and after I identified myself, they ran away."
One of them got in the car and ran away, and I tried to catch up with the other one who ran away on foot, and that's it," he said, gesturing to a body lying at the intersection.
"This guy panicked and crashed into a taxi."
"Although the current scene is indeed a bit chaotic, why would you say that your brother is in trouble?" Jack looked at the crowd at the intersection and asked, a little puzzled.
Danny sighed, "Because James saw that they had a gun at the time, he also drew his pistol, but now, this guy is lying there with nothing on hand or on his body, and he must have thrown it away during the chase between the two."
Now the Chinese girl who was almost kidnapped is nowhere to be found, and in the absence of eyewitnesses, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is sure to be looking for trouble with my brother. ”
James Reagan hurriedly added, "No, no, no, there was also an eyewitness who looked like the companion of the kidnapped girl, and the suspect who fled in the car had previously pressed her backhand against the wall, perhaps with a wound on her forehead. ”
"So you asked me if I knew Chinese, did you want me to find those two Chinese girls in Chinatown? Don't you think too much of me, you need to be a dog with a keen sense of smell. ”
Jack pouted, Danny was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, this Chinatown in Lower Manhattan is not a good place, compared to the emerging Chinese settlement of Flushing, where all kinds of strange gangster forces are entrenched, such as the famous "Triad".
Even in Flushing, Queens, crime has skyrocketed with the economic downturn of recent years and the misdemeanor campaign of the Donkey Party, not to mention the dilapidated old Chinatown.
"I know, whether it's a gun or a person, it's hard to find it if you lose it here." Danny clutched his head and followed his gaze to look around, "But at least someone can help me talk to the people around me, I tried just now, and I couldn't understand what they were saying." ”
