Chapter 635: Appreciate Art
In the afternoon, the early autumn sunshine shines through the thin curtains on the Sleeping Beauty on the bed. The Texas girl's unique plump figure outlines an amazing arc under the sheets, as beautiful as a character written by John William Gwede. Vice oil painting.
("Idle Moments" 1895 John William Godward)
After a long time, a fragrant and seductive aroma entered the bedroom. Hannah's straight nose twitched subconsciously, and her long eyelashes trembled for a long time. It was not until the aroma became stronger that she opened her eyes in confusion.
She stood up and stretched out comfortably, subconsciously reaching out to grab the slipping sheets to block the rays of spring. The little sweet girl chuckled twice, as if she was still thinking about something, and then her stomach rumbled due to the annoying aroma. cried.
She jumped out of bed as fast as she could and rushed into the bathroom. After a while, she wrapped herself in a sheet and ran downstairs. As she approached the living room, the aroma of food became more and more enticing.
"Girl I'm going to tell you how to do it, and then let's start slowly, you just put your lips together"
In the kitchen next to the living room, Jack was humming Flo Rida's little porn song "Whistle" and whistled a short paragraph from time to time. Although he was tone-deaf in singing, he whistled extremely well.
"Bad guy." Hannah ignored the slipping sheets and jumped on his back, blushing and biting his ear.
"Be careful." Jack quickly put down the long-handled spoon in his hand and hooked the little sweet girl's leg. He really didn't mean to tease her about her performance last night. That's what the original lyrics were.
An extra-large soup pot was simmering on the stove in front of him. The thick white beef bone soup inside was bubbling and emitting a strange aroma.
This is the first batch of Angus steers produced by the Chris brothers farm. The quality is quite good. In addition to more than thirty pounds of marbled eye muscles, the brothers also sent two sawn pieces as per Jack's request. Beef hind leg bone, part of the beef vertebrae, several oxtails and more than ten pounds of preliminary processed tripe.
Stewing beef bone soup is also very particular, because the spinal cord in the stick bones is too rich in fat, so it needs to be paired with some beef vertebrae that are rich in colloids. If you want to be more luxurious, it would be better to add a piece of oxtail to stew the soup. It is thick and viscous and turns into a jelly-like gel after cooling. One bite can make gout patients wreak havoc 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. Adding some fresh mushrooms and a few wolfberry berries would make it perfect. After all, there are some things You can't just rely on treatment, nutrition must also keep up.
In the next few days, except for occasionally going out to the supermarket to replenish some fresh vegetables and fruits, the two of them didn't go out much.
After all, Rossi's penthouse apartment is well-equipped, and even has a dedicated gym and a private cinema. The two of them are somewhat homely, so they can enjoy themselves together listening to music, reading, and playing games.
Jack doesn't like fighting games very much, especially side-scrolling battle games like "Soul Calibur 6". His favorite is the kind of strategy game where a person squats in front of the computer and colors the map.
But it's another thing when there is a beautiful girl next to him who always provokes him. In order to let Jack play with her, Hannah offers an irresistible offer such as whistling for him if she loses three games in a row. proposal.
After all, not liking it very much and not being good at it are two different things. After being tortured seven or eight times, and when he got familiar with the skills, Hannah's expression suddenly changed. She screamed, threw away the controller, and tried to climb over the sofa to escape. Jack, who was well prepared, caught him.
Just when the big bad wolf showed a ferocious evil smile and was about to take care of her, the disappointing cell phone rang.
Jack put his hand around Hannah, who had just tried to escape the golden cicada but failed, and was still struggling desperately. He answered the phone with a smile, "Detective Reagan, are you satisfied with those oysters?"
"Well Jack, I remember that you can speak several languages. I wonder how good your Chinese is?" Danny Regan seemed to be in a prosperous place, and the background sound on the phone was very noisy.
"It depends on which dialect you are asking about." Jack was stunned by his question, and his answer also made Danny on the other side of the phone a little confused.
It's not that Jack is being pretentious, it's because of the special situation in the United States. In his previous life, he was considered a southerner in a broad sense, but in the eyes of the Fujianese people in Laoguang, he is a northerner in the true sense. After all, the name "Jiangnan" depends on where it comes from. There are two rivers, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River are both considered rivers.
He has no problem with most of the dialects in China, at least he can understand them roughly. The only ones he can't handle are Wenzhou dialect, Hokkien, and Cantonese, and these dialects are the most popular overseas.
I don’t know if it’s influenced by American TV series. Most of the Chinese people in this world speak a weird fake Chinese. It’s unclear whether it’s Cantonese or something. There are also weird English words mixed in. On the contrary, it’s better than those Chinese. English is much more difficult to understand.
It was so bad that when he went to Flushing for a walk, most of the time he could only bargain with the vendors by using gestures and guessing.
But Danny's impatience didn't bother him for too long, "Whatever, are you free now? I'm in Chinatown in the lower city, and my brother James is in trouble."
At this time, Hannah also realized that there must be something serious. She stopped playing with Jack and waved him away quickly. Anyway, they had played a lot of similar little games between lovers in the past few days. Every time It was all her fault, and she could just let it go this time.
"No problem, I'll come over now." Jack hung up the phone neatly, grabbed Hannah and kissed her hard several times before changing clothes and going out.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. Their vacation had just ended today, and it was time to go to work tomorrow. It was really not suitable to play too late.
After New York entered autumn, the temperature difference between day and night was very obvious. Jack changed his shirt and put on a beige British-style long windbreaker to cover the gun on his waist. Without buttoning it, he drove his plainclothes police car, the Dodge Hell The cat went out.
"The way you dress reminds me of a comic book character." Danny blurted out the first time he saw Jack.
"Uh, I'm not wearing a dark red tie." Jack firmly refused to admit that his outfit was that of COS, even though that was the purpose of Hannah buying him this trench coat. "Tell me about the situation."
Danny's younger brother James Regan was also wearing casual clothes, with a police badge on his chest, and a trace of panic on his face. "Two suspects brought guns and tried to kidnap a Chinese girl. I made it clear that After identifying themselves, they split up and ran away.
One of them got into the car and ran away, and I tried to catch up with the other one who ran away on foot, and that was it." He pointed 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 do you say that your brother is in trouble?" Jack looked at the crowd of people watching the excitement at the intersection and asked with some confusion.
Danny sighed, "Because James saw they had guns at that time, he also pulled out his pistol, but now, this guy is lying there with nothing on his hands and body. It should be during the chase between the two. Throw it away.
Now there is no trace of the Chinese girl who was almost kidnapped. In the absence of witnesses, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely find trouble with my brother. "
James Regan quickly added, "No, no, no, there was also a witness present at the time, who looked like a companion of the kidnapped girl. The suspect who drove away had previously pressed her against the wall with his backhand. Maybe There’s a wound on the forehead.”
"So you asked me if I can speak Chinese because you want me to find those two Chinese girls in Chinatown? Do you think too highly of me? You need a dog with a keen sense of smell."
Jack curled his lips. Danny was somewhat sick and had to seek medical attention. This Chinatown in lower Manhattan is not a kind place. Compared with the emerging Chinese gathering area of Flushing, there are all kinds of weird people here. Gangster forces, such as the famous "Triads".
Even in Flushing, Queens, the crime rate has skyrocketed due to the economic downturn in recent years and the misdemeanor campaign launched by the Donkey Party, let alone this shabby old Chinatown.
"I know, whether it's a gun or a person, it's hard to find if you lose it here." Danny covered his forehead and followed his gaze to look around, "But at least there is someone who can help me ask the people around me. Just now I tried it and I had no idea what they were saying.”
