Chapter 230: Food and Wine
The sun is shining on the Boston highway. Under the golden sunshine, a golden armored SUV is also galloping on the road at an extremely fast speed. Behind this car, is a The huge F750, behind the F750, also pulled an extended cart. On top of the cart, fifteen cows were standing or lying there.
It is also possible that these cows are not as timid as other cows because they eat too much grass nourished by Jiang Hai's spiritual energy.
Even most of the cows are curiously looking at the scene on the roadside at this time. Sometimes when parking, they will nibble on the weeds on the roadside. Of course, most of them just take a bite. Stop eating.
For them, they have become accustomed to the smell of grass in Jiang Hai Manor, and they have no feeling for these ordinary grasses. Unless they are really hungry now, they will not eat these grasses.
But although these cows don't seem scared, Robbins, an old cowboy, still feels that playing it safe should be the priority.
Basically after coming out of the manor and hitting any rest stop on the highway, he would tell Jiang Hai to stop here, observe the cows, and then feed the cows some fodder and water to keep them healthy. own condition.
Although walking like this is slow, it is more stable. After all, we are going to New York to compete. If the cows get sick on the road, it will be troublesome. We have to pull the cows from the manor again, which will be a bit of a headache. .
However, this speed is indeed very slow. After walking for about a whole morning, Jiang Hai and the others had just arrived at the outskirts of Boston.
It takes about two hours to drive from Boston to New York all the way. But according to Jiang Hai's current estimate, it would be good if they could arrive in New York before eight o'clock in the evening.
But the only advantage is that the organizer has arranged a bullpen, and no matter how late you arrive, someone will arrange it. At the same time, people like Jiang Hai and others who have an exhibition hall also have five room quotas. One million and one million U.S. dollars is not free money. Of course, it includes food and accommodation.
Although the food is just a buffet and the accommodation is probably an ordinary guest room, at least they don't have to look for it anymore.
At the last rest stop before leaving Boston, Jiang Hai just parked the car and walked out holding a purple clay tea cup.
Ever since I started to like drinking tea. If Jiang Hai goes out, this purple sand tea cup will basically never leave his hand.
After getting used to drinking tea, when I drink other things, I do feel that the taste is a bit different.
Jiang Hai came over after looking at Robbins and others who started to help after parking the car and going to the toilet. This was not the first time Jiang Hai had seen such a thing. He knew that these people had nothing to do here, so now that he was here, he was going to go to Boston. He still had things to buy, so he said: "You guys Let’s eat here first, then I’ll go to Boston.”
"Okay. Boss, just watch the time. We can stay here for up to an hour." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins glanced at his watch. Originally, they were planning to have lunch at the next place, but now Since Jiang Hai said he was going to Boston, it would be the same for them to eat here. After all, Jiang Hai was the one who paid for it.
"No need. I'll go to that Chinese store and I'll be back soon." Nodding to Robbins, Jiang Hai climbed into his car again. After putting down the tea cup, he accelerated and headed towards Go to Boston's North End.
Indeed, after getting off the highway and driving for only about ten minutes, Jiang Hai had already arrived at his destination.
Holding the tea cup, Jiang Hai parked the car and jumped up. As soon as he finished, he saw the old man sitting in front of the store, waving a fan. Needless to say, he knew that this was Jiang Hai. The store where I always come to buy things.
"Uncle, rest here." Looking at the old man, Jiang Hai walked over with a smile.
But Jiang Hai had just walked over, and the old man here hadn't opened his eyes yet. Instead, his nose moved first.
"Longjing?" The uncle suddenly sat up and looked at Jiang Hai's teacup and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, Longjing, I brought it from China. It tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it, uncle?" Jiang Hai also smiled and said after hearing what the uncle said. He is still very confident in his tea. After all, So expensive.
"There's no need to try it. From the smell, it's indeed produced in West Lake, but it's not a very good variety. Look at my tea." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man couldn't help but chuckle, casually He picked up the small pot next to him.
As the small pot was opened, a hint of fragrance rushed directly into Jiang Hai's nose. The bean fragrance was indeed very refreshing.
"Well, it seems good. The smell is stronger than mine." Jiang Hai took the old man's teapot and smelled it. Indeed, the bean flavor of this tea was stronger than his own, and judging from the leaves, it was also stronger than his own. It was complete and beautiful, allowing Jiang Hai to recognize it at a glance. This tea should also be from Longjing. He didn't know if it came from West Lake, but at least the quality was better than his own.
After taking a sip, Jiang Hai found that the spiritual energy that was increasing all the time in his body seemed to be absorbed a little faster. This made Jiang Hai very sure that this tea must be more powerful than his own tea.
"Uncle, where did you prepare this tea?" Jiang Hai asked in surprise as he returned the small pot in his hand to the uncle.
"I grew it at home, haha. When the domestic control was not too strict, I got a few tea trees, but all the black tea trees were dead, and only a few green tea trees were alive. They have grown well over the years. The ones in this pot It is also a West Lake Dragon Well, but it is not watered with water from the West Lake, so it can only be regarded as a Dragon Well." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man said with a proud look on his face.
"Uncle, can you give me two plants?" Jiang Hai had the idea of getting tea trees from China a long time ago, but unfortunately, the country also does not allow live transplants to pass through customs. At least with Jiang Hai's current strength, I can't get these things.
Just like Tibetan incense beads and black goats, these things are not allowed to be taken out of the country.
If you want to bring it, you can only bring prepared tea leaves. Even fresh tea buds are not allowed, which makes Jiang Hai very helpless.
"It's impossible to accommodate two plants, but I can get you a few branches. Whether you can keep them alive depends on your luck." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man was not ambiguous at all, but said directly, Jiang Hai I usually like to come to him to buy things.
Although Jiang Hai brought a lot of food when he came back, he always ran out of food, and the supermarkets in the United States did not have a full range of food. Anyway, there was nothing Jiang Hai liked to eat, so he often Come here to buy things, the old man is also very familiar with him.
Upon hearing that the uncle relented, Jiang Hai also said happily: "Okay, thank you, uncle."
Maybe for others, it would be difficult to feed a few tea branches, but Jiang Hai didn't care.
He can really plant willows and willows at will to create shade. His spiritual energy is not given in vain, and the tea trees grown with spiritual energy, Jiang Hai feels that he will definitely give him different rewards in the future.
"Isn't your kid coming here just to give away your tea? It's not like your style at noon." After talking to Jiang Hai about the tea, the old man picked up the teapot in front of him and drank. After taking a sip, he asked a little strangely.
"I'm going to attend the New York Beef Cattle Show. The beef cattle are currently being observed at a nearby rest stop. I'm fine, so I just came over to ask if there is any wine here." Looking at the old man, Jiang Hai had a look on his face. Said seriously.
"Wine? It's not in there, is it?" Hearing Jiang Hai talk about wine, the old man was stunned for a moment and pointed to the shelves in the supermarket.
"It's not the packaged wine. I want to ask if there is wine brewed with pure grains." Jiang Hai continued.
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man couldn't help but look at him with some doubts. Generally speaking, this kind of wine has a high alcohol content and doesn't taste very good. It doesn't have that high-end appeal, and it doesn't have good packaging.
This kind of wine is not easy to find in China, let alone abroad! Seeing that Jiang Hai wanted such wine, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Pure grain wine? This kind of wine is not easy to get here. What do you want this wine for?"
"Didn't I tell you a while ago that I went hunting in the mountains with a group of people. They shot all adult male deer. After killing them, they took away all the antlers and the rest belong to me. Yes, I even came to you to buy seasoning for venison stew!" After hearing what the old man said, Jiang Hai also started talking. When he heard what Jiang Hai said, the old man nodded, he did have some impressions.
Seeing that the old man had remembered, Jiang Hai continued. As he spoke, he observed the old man's expression: "In addition to the venison, they also left me the deer whip, about ten of which I originally wanted to stew. I wanted to eat, but when I thought about that thing, my heart clicked and I couldn’t eat it anymore, so I thought about it later and decided that I wanted to drink some wine.”
"Deer whip? What a good thing!" Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up when he heard the deer whip.
"Boy, I want to discuss something with you. I'll help you get some wine, and I'll give you some tea, all for free. But for the deer whip, you have to allow me two, no, three." Looking at Jiang Hai, the old man's His eyes were also shining with a strange light, and it seemed that he was very interested in this thing. Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the old man had indeed found a way to get wine made from pure grains.
"Deal!" Three deer whips are nothing to Jiang Hai. If he wants, he can go into the mountains to get them at any time. However, this wine made from pure grains is not so easy to get. Now he is already thinking about it. What did you put in the sprinkler?
The two foxes, one old and the other young, looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then smiled together.
Then Jiang Hai chatted with the old man for a few more words, then drove away, returned to the rest stop, and continued towards New York.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Hai thought, when they arrived at the New York venue, the lights were already on. (To be continued.)
