Chapter 645 Thanksgiving
"Let's go, go buy a turkey!"
On Thanksgiving Day, the company didn't actually organize an event, but Mike suggested that Feng Yiping organize a party at home, so he wouldn't bother with that! The boss has many means and methods to win over his subordinates, so there is no need to do this.
Thanksgiving, this is a unique holiday in the United States and Canada - although the dates of Thanksgiving in these two countries are not the same, it is said that in some places, it is more important than Christmas. Generally speaking, it should be equivalent to our Mid-Autumn Festival It is also a time for family reunion and celebration.
However, this festival, which has a strong religious flavor from its name, has nothing to do with the two of them, but in total, it has a four-day holiday, and you can also eat turkey!
He and Jingping are both carnivores.
After pushing a large cart full of things from the supermarket, looking at the 16-pound turkey that Huang Jingping specially picked out, Feng Yiping suggested, "Why don't you go to the restaurant on the street and find the fat master?" Ask what to do?"
Fat Master is the chef in the restaurant where Huang Jingping often ordered and made-to-order dishes when Huang Jingping wanted to eat those unpopular hometown dishes.
"It's so big, and it's the first time I've made it. It's not roasted well, and it doesn't taste good. The meat is still wood, and the taste is like chewing wood,"
"You are right. This is our first Thanksgiving dinner in the United States. We must tell our children well in the future. Let's go!" Huang Jingping excitedly pulled him towards Chinatown. rush.
In fact, it’s not all about how to make turkey. In such a lively festival, going to Chinatown and listening to those domestic dialects from all over the world is actually a kind of comfort.
I had to ask. The chubby bald chef said that it is different from the turkey legs or hamburgers with turkey meat sandwiched in restaurants. A whole turkey should be roasted to suit our taste. Really need some work.
"Lao Mei is different from us. He doesn't eat any good food. We think poultry meat is dry, firewood, and has a taste like sawdust. They just like this one. For example, they eat chicken and like to eat chicken breast, while we think Chicken legs and wings are more delicious."
Seeing how the two of them made pies, it didn't look like they were going to open a restaurant to grab business. The fat chef enthusiastically filled them with the restaurant's homemade sauce and fillings while chattering, and even helped to mix the sauce, " To be baked to suit our taste, marinating is the most important thing. When you go back, use this can of sauce to marinate well, put it in the refrigerator, and thaw it a few hours in advance before baking tomorrow night."
"This is our secret sauce. It tastes very good. As for these fillings, they are also adjusted. If you don't like it, you can make it yourself. According to your own taste, ham, onion, carrot, bread, celery, coriander, Mushrooms...you can put them inward, "
"Thank you, I'm drooling just thinking about it," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"When doing it, if there is something you don't understand, please call anytime," the fat master shouted from behind.
These two young people, no matter in terms of their clothes or the cars they drive, their family backgrounds are unmistakable. What's rare is that they also don't have adults by their side. They don't have the bad temper, kindness, and humility of the other second generations. Zhili is usually generous with his shots - maybe the latter point is more important. The people in this restaurant like them both.
For such a grand festival, there are naturally activities in the community. Some housewives organize to deliver food to the homeless, but this time, Feng Yiping and the others chose to refuse. Heavy, the two of them hope to stay at home lazily all day.
Even if you stay at home on this day, it will be very interesting. In addition to various games, such as the football game that most ordinary Americans like to watch, from early in the morning, there are cities in the United States from the east to the middle to the west. Host a Thanksgiving parade.
Lying lazily on the beach chair in the backyard, basking in the sun, holding a big corn cob in his hands and gnawing, watching the TV that Feng Yiping moved to the porch, which was broadcasting the Thanksgiving Day parade from all over the place.
"The cartoon characters made of those balloons are really cute. Yiping, we must take the children to see the scene in the future, okay?"
"You want to see it, right?" Feng Yiping put his hand on her protruding belly and stroked it gently.
"The child wants to watch it, and the child's mother also wants to watch it." These days, her ability to act like a baby has risen to another level.
"Okay, next year I will fly a plane, take the children and their mothers, and chase from the east to the west, okay?"
"That's right, mom and dad, I'll go to order the plane the day after tomorrow!" Huang Jingping said tenderly to her belly with bulging veins.
"Father, why do I feel that such a day seems unreal?"
"Why not true?" Feng Yiping took her hand.
"Happiness seems unreal," Huang Jingping put her hand on her face.
"It is my responsibility to let you live a happy life,"
It seems that when pregnant, women are always more sentimental.
"Okay, let's go take a dip in the hot pool, and then we'll take a nice nap." Although the temperature is acceptable now, but naturally there is no high temperature in summer, so Feng Yiping remodeled the house for the first time. By the pool, A new hot tub was built.
"Baby's father hugged me," Huang Jingping smiled and stretched out her hands towards him.
... ... ...
Huang Jingping held a knife and fork, like a gluttonous child, watching Feng Yiping go to get the turkey, "Be careful that it pecks you,"
"It's okay, I'm wearing jeans,"
On Thanksgiving Day, the White House also has a tradition. The day before Thanksgiving, the president will pardon a turkey on the South Lawn.
President Bush Jr., whose life is not going so well, performed this duty for the first time yesterday, pardoning a turkey named Liberty.
I don't know if "freedom" means not selling money or being too free. After being pardoned, he immediately pecked at the president. It was still the key point of Xiasanlu. There was an uproar at the scene, and the president was so embarrassing!
This is probably the first president of the United States to be massacred in public.
He roasted the shiny and golden turkey in the middle of the dining table, "It smells so good, hurry up, start!" Huang Jingping couldn't wait any longer.
Feng Yiping picked up a knife and cut a large piece for her, "Why do I feel like there is something missing?"
"Our level is really good, I must tell my children like this in the future," Huang Jingping put all the credit on herself, "I think it tastes better than the roast duck in the capital, because the taste is richer, you eat it, "
It's really good, similar to roast duck, not dry, and rich in flavor.
Can it not be rich? There are so many ingredients in it to bake.
"By the way, what did you say was missing?" Huang Jingping was now remembering Feng Yiping's question just now.
"On a day like this, it seems appropriate to set off firecrackers," Feng Yiping said solemnly.
"Hate it, don't make me laugh when you're eating,"
"No, I not only want to make you happy, but also make you happy!"
"If you really think so, let's go shopping tomorrow?" Huang Jingping said.
"No," Feng Yiping flatly rejected her request.
Thanksgiving is coming, which means that the shopping season at the end of the year in the United States is coming.
The first day after Thanksgiving, Friday, is also known as "Black Friday," although this is the same as the later Singles' Day, and to a certain extent, it is also a means for merchants to clear their inventory, but the three days after that Within four days, major shopping malls and specialty stores will launch many products with amazing discounts.
So in the next few days, disputes, fights, and even bloodshed due to panic buying in major shopping malls have long been common. Huang Jingping has a big belly, how dare she let her participate?
"What to buy, let's talk about it after a few days,"
"I don't want to buy anything, but I just want to feel the atmosphere,"
Feng Yiping was surprised, well, this is probably a woman's nature.
"I can't participate in such a grand event, I'm really unhappy!"
The progress is so fast that they have learned to threaten.
"Then let's make a compromise, go to the entrance of the mall to see the excitement, and emphasize it again, just watch the excitement, not participate!"
Feng Yiping had to give in again.
There is no way, many times, a woman is an unreasonable creature, let alone a pregnant woman?
"You are so kind!" Once again gaining the upper hand, Huang Jingping happily wanted to kiss Feng Yiping.
"Don't stop, oil on your mouth!"

ps: Happy New Year!
