But if you feel that only vegetables are expensive here, then you are too naive. Jiang Hai also feels that he is a little too naive. When he walked to the fruit area... In addition to vegetables, the price of fruits here is also The expensive ones are outrageous.

Watermelon is ninety-nine cents a pound, kiwi fruit is a dollar for three, and oranges, about two catties, cost four. ninety-nine dollars.

Apples cost ninety-nine cents a pound. To be honest, seeing this price, Jiang Hai misses the country a little bit. These are just random fruits that are placed outside, and the high-quality ones are more expensive.

But it also made Jiang Hai see a business opportunity. If all his pastures are used to raise cattle, he can raise 100,000 head, but now he only raises 20,000 head, and he keeps changing pastures throughout the year, so he can't use it. Such a big place.

Some of the vacated places can be used to grow some fruits and vegetables. He believes that the prices of the things he grows should be higher.

But now, it's all just looking around. After a simple turn around, everyone started to buy things.

It was agreed tonight that it was Jiang Hai's treat. Naturally, he was unambiguous about what to do. The standard beef he bought, the best beef shoulder, cost eight dollars a pound, and Jiang Hai bought two hundred pounds. He needs to eat at night, and he also needs to eat in normal times.

Moreover, a manor owner like him naturally had to provide food and drink for his subordinates, which was unavoidable.

Two hundred pounds of beef, ten bags of chicken hands, ten bags of ten wings, Jiang Hai was stopped by Robbins and Edward when he wanted to buy fish. The fishing rod passed by and hung for half an hour, which was enough for these people to eat at night.

So you don’t need to buy this. Besides, there are many other things to eat, such as onions. People in the United States can’t stand the taste of onions, ginger, and garlic, but they like the taste of onions, and onions can also be eaten. The smell of beef can be suppressed, which is also very good.

In addition, there are a lot of lettuce, carrots, celery, eggplant, etc., all of which are organic.

Jiang Hai is not a picky person either. Although he doesn't have much money now, he is not short of the money he wants.

For example, in the past in Huaxia, the old people saved money from their mouths, but now the money Jiang Hai lacks is obviously not from his mouth. Instead of doing this, let’s spend it and buy vegetables , meat, Jiang Hai bought a lot of fruits, apples, oranges, and some berries like blue plums from Canada. These berries, two small boxes are about six taels, and cost three dollars, indeed. After calculating all these things, Jiang Hai also spent more than 2,100 US dollars, but he didn't care about the small money, so he left the supermarket's phone number, and there will be such a large order in the future , you can ask them to deliver.

Then, he moved these things to the car with Edward and Robbins.

Before the move, Edward and Robbins were still talking about not letting Jiang Hai do anything, after all, Jiang Hai was the one who paid for it.

In fact, they were afraid that Jiang Hai would not be able to move, and his face would be dull, but unexpectedly, Jiang Hai alone almost caught up with the two of them, which shocked the two of them. Jiang Hai is not as weak as he appears on the surface.

After buying food, let's get some bars! After moving the food to the back seat of Robbins, Jiang Hai slammed on the car door, facing Robbins next to him, and Ed in the distance Hua said.

Buy wine? Okay, let's move to Old Tony's. The bartender there is really good. As for sailors and cowboys, there is no one who doesn't like wine. The saliva began to secrete, and Robbins said directly.

Old Tony's wine, that's really good, let's go! Hearing what Robbins said, Edward here also laughed, and then two old and broken pickups came to yesterday with a roar. The Cowboy Song bar where Jiang Hai visited in the evening.

At this time, the bar was not open yet, and there were only two waiters cleaning there. When they saw the three people walking in, they were obviously taken aback, but they also knew Robbins and Edward.

After expressing his intention to come, he left the amount that needs to be consumed in the past few days, and bought the rest that can be packed for Jiang Hai.

I bought a total of three barrels of self-brewed beer, plus more than 20 bottles of foreign wine. Most of these foreign wines are baser, brandy, vodka, tequila, rum, and whiskey. very big.

These wines only cost Jiang Hai more than 300 US dollars. At first, he thought it would cost more than 1,000 US dollars, because he remembered that he had drunk one of them before, and that one sold for 300 US dollars in China. An extra bottle would have to sell for fifty bucks here.

But unexpectedly, when the account was settled, the wine was only worth twelve dollars, well, Jiang Hai felt that he was cheated again...

But there is no way, who knows that when he was in China, he didn't have this channel to buy these wines.

After packing the wine, Jiang Hai took his two men and drove all the way back home.

The next thing to do is to get the food ready.

People in the United States are different from people in China. In China, especially in the Northeast, if you want to show your enthusiasm, you have to cook a lot of dishes. For example, during the Chinese New Year or when there are people at home, in the Northeast it is always I can cook a large table of dishes, and they always serve two people, not single ones. For example, if there are few people, it will be six, and if it is medium, it will be eight. If there are quite a lot of people, it will be ten, twelve, sixteen, etc. , It doesn’t matter what is left, but you must do more to show your hospitality.

But in the United States, this is not the case. To be honest, it is very simple for people in the United States to make things. Basically, it is like this kind of party. Because it is the relationship between the cowboy and the fisherman, beef and fish are essential. Less.

Beef is also cut into steaks, and it’s enough to be grilled. Fish is basically just fried. Of course, you can also set up a fire in the yard and use it to skewer and grill by yourself, plus Jiang Hai Originally bought sausages, chicken wings, etc., if you want to eat them, you can bake them yourself. What they have to do is to feed them first, and then wear them with the slings they bought, that's all.

In addition, there is basically only one method for vegetables and fruits, salad, which is not greasy and tastes good, so that's fine.

So cooking in the United States, especially this kind of dish, is very simple. It takes about an hour. Jiang Hai, Rogers and Edward have already made these things. In the warehouse, he took out some branches that he usually cut down. These trees are all dead trees in the forest. When he was bored while patrolling, he would cut some off. Much tastier than cooking in the oven.

After finishing all these things, Jiang Hai and his two subordinates headed towards the sea in an all-terrain vehicle.

Now he has prepared beef, chicken wings, chicken hands, vegetable salad and fruit salad. As for the staple food, Jiang Hai ordered pizza by phone. When he was in China, Jiang Hai liked to eat this food, but in These things in China are not cheap. Before the divorce, he didn't have much spare money to eat these things.

After the divorce, he did have spare money, but he really didn’t eat much in China. After arriving in Meidi, he found that the pizza made by Meidi was much more delicious than that in China. Of course, it is said that the pizza is the best Sa is in New York, but the Boston side is also good.

He bought ten 16-inch pizzas at once, enough for these people to eat, and now they are going to solve the fish problem.

Hey, boss, have you ever fished before? Edward, as a professional fisherman, has the most fishing rods in his luggage, and there are many kinds of fishing rods, some of which are suitable for fishing in the river. , some are suitable for fishing in ponds, some are suitable for fishing in large reservoirs, of course, there are also sea poles for fishing in the sea, but there are also many kinds of sea poles, such as those used on boats, on reefs, and on the seashore There is a lot of attention to the length, thickness, material, etc. of the fishing rod used.

The size of the hook, the thickness of the fishing line, and even the bait of the fish are all particular. People who are not dedicated to playing with this thing may not really understand it. Edward looked at Jiang Haina with hope in his eyes. Looking at the expression on his face, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

I have fished before, but only in rivers, reservoirs and fish ponds. Scratching his head, Jiang Hai looked at Edward and said with some embarrassment. He only saw other people using sea poles. Not used.

Oh, Boss, freshwater fish are different from seawater fish. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward here hadn't spoken yet, but Robbins over there had already started talking with a smile.

Yes, fishing for freshwater fish is always floating fishing, but sea fish is different, because the sea is too deep, so besides floating fishing, sea fishing is also divided into bottom fishing, boat fishing and play fishing. Now without this resource, floating fishing can only catch fish about one meter deep, and those fish are very small, so we basically use play fishing or bottom fishing.” Hearing what Robbins said , Edward also smiled, and talked to Jiang Hai. Hearing what they said was so lively, Jiang Hai was also a little moved.

Play fishing requires some skills. Generally, beginners who fish on the shore are bottom fishing. You should try it first. Seeing Jiang Hai's eagerness to try, Edward here made a move. A fishing rod was handed over to Jiang Hai.

This fishing rod is not like the hand rod used to catch freshwater fish. The front is so thin. The front of this sea rod is also very thick. A very thick line is tied to the roller below and on the top. A large lead pendant and a pair of fishhooks were tied, but there was no Yupiao, the deepest fisherman. Looking at the equipment in front of him, Jiang Hai’s eyes began to light up, and he took the fishing rod handed over by Edward. , He tried it first, with his current strength, swinging these fishing rods was trivial.

Then I took some small shrimps from Robbins. These shrimps are actually small shrimps, but they are not small at all. Before Robbins had nothing to do, he copied them with a net at the seaside and used them as food. It was used for fishing bait, which made Jiang Hai feel distressed.
