Chapter 49: Representing Western Food
When it comes to Italian cuisine, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Pasta, pizza...pizza, pasta...
But in fact, in addition to these two things, Italian cuisine has many other things. It is impossible for Italians to eat only these two things.
Jiang Hai has never been to the real Italy, but there are quite a lot of food in Italian restaurants here in Boston.
Jiang Hai and the others have been here before, so he is still very familiar with the food here.
"First eight portions of cheddar soup, then one fried squid, oh, fried squid, fried clams, eight portions of crab baked mushrooms, two Milan veal shin, two veal slices, eight portions of ham cheese steak, what are you eating at the staple food?" Looking at the dish in front of you, Jiang Hai ordered a lot of them. These things are all signature dishes of Italian or this restaurant, and the taste is really good.
"Let's go black pasta..." Robbins spoke first.
"Eight servings of black pasta." Hearing Robbins' words, Jiang Hai also said to the waiter next to him.
After hearing the name of the dish, the waiter respectfully left the menu. Soon, Filimon's wife also arrived. Everyone gathered on a long table and started chatting, but after many years of chatting, they had already started serving the dishes.
The first one is the first soup, Cheddar soup. This soup is filled with a mark and can be refilled indefinitely. You can drink the soup in almost all places in Boston. The same is true here. This soup is made of potatoes, some modern seasonal vegetables, and fresh clam meat. The ingredients are quite sufficient. The white soup, taken out with a spoonful, is almost all dry goods.
The natural freshness of deep-sea cold water seafood and the sweetness of vegetables are perfectly integrated here.
It won't be fishy, but the taste is really satisfying. If you drink it, it will warm your stomach and make you feel appetizing.
Then I served fried clams, which was a very simple fried clam. The fried clams were served with dough and dipped in the tartar sauce that I served in this restaurant. They were sour and sweet, and they were also appetizers, but the taste was indeed good.
Crab meat-baked mushrooms are considered snacks, but the plate is not small, almost the same size as the plate at home. There is baked cheese inside. The main ingredients are crab meat and mushrooms. The small mushrooms are filled with crab meat, which is quite affordable. With milk, it is ridiculously fragrant.
Fried squid is just fried squid rings, but it is not called that here. It seems that in China, the reason why squid is also called squid flowers is different, but the way to eat is the same. The squid is very soft and the dough is very thin. Squeeze with a little lemon juice, the sweet taste is completely unstoppable, and it is indeed very delicious.
Veal slices are considered a specialty in Italy. According to legend, they are the boss’s hometown and how to eat them at Milan at that time.
Cook the veal with spices such as celery, onion, bay leaves, and other spices, plus white wine (white foreign wine like vodka, not Chinese liquor) until soft, slice it and cool, then drizzle it with squid and fish paste, and make it into a meanita sauce. It tastes like beef and fish, and it tastes so delicious.
The veal tibia is cut into rings with beef tibia, stewed with white wine, shii-rose, and spices for a long time. The bone marrow inside the bones is the best, and the ham and cheese steak, well, just like what you see on the surface.
It is made by frying ham, cheese and steak. There is nothing else, there is a lot of meat. Just this plate of meat will have to be half a pound, and Jiang Hai also likes this dish the most.
In addition to these dishes, the black pasta, which is a staple food, tastes quite good. This black pasta is somewhat like Chinese buckwheat noodles, which tastes slightly bitter but is very delicious. Compared with buckwheat noodles, this black pasta has more sauces to choose from.
Most Americans like to eat seafood sauce, tomato sauce, Mexican barbecue sauce, sweet and spicy sauce, etc.
But Jiang Hai is a little tired of sweet and sour foods on the table. Although he likes sweet and sour foods in China, such as pot buns, pepper pork strips, cherry meat, etc., he can no longer withstand this when he always eats it abroad.
So what he wanted was a regular butter vegetable sauce, accompanied by some hot Mexican sauce.
When it comes to chili peppers, there will probably be many people in China who are not convinced, such as Shu, Nanhai, Hunan Province, etc. These places are very fiercely eaten in spicy food. But in fact, based on the spicy level, the spicy yellow lanterns in China are not ranked.
The number one is the British chili pepper, known as the Naga Snake, also known as the spicy snake, and you will lose your head. As long as you accidentally take a bite, you will be sent to the hospital immediately. Jiang Hai once heard about something that there was a very spicy Shu native who went to the UK to challenge this kind of chili pepper. After taking a bite, he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The little red chili pepper was wrinkled and looked deadly.
The second type is also from the UK, called Trinidad Scorpion Butcher T, also known as poisonous scorpion. The cigarettes cooked from peppers must be worn with gas masks. If they are inhaled, they will also go to the hospital.
The third type of pepper is A San's Broken Soul Pepper, also known as Devil Pepper. This kind of pepper was originally used to plant in the fields and the periphery of villages. It is used as a fence, not to guard against people, but to guard against elephants. When elephants eat it, they have to cry spicyly, let alone humans?
The fourth type is Mexican Ghost Pepper, which has a spiciness of three times that of the South China Sea Yellow Lantern and twenty times that of the sky pepper. This kind of chili is not allowed to sell fresh chili because it is too spicy. It is only allowed to sell dried chili and chili sauce. The sweet and spicy sauce that Jiang Hai eats now has its ingredients. Although it is only a little bit, it is quite delicious and has a good spicy taste.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the meal. After Jiang Hai settled the bill, everyone drove back to rest again.
Here we have to explain that when eating in a restaurant like the United States, you have to tip. The amount of tip is basically calculated based on the price of the meal. Under normal circumstances, it is 10 to 15% of this meal.
This is given by looking at the mood and service attitude. Fifteen percent is very satisfied, and ten percent is just average. If you feel particularly satisfied, you can still get more, so there is no limit to it.
However, Jiang Hai is not a person who has money and no place to spend it, so he basically gives 15% tips and will not give more.
Jiang Hai and his friends spent a total of more than 320 US dollars on this meal, so when paying the bill, he gave him 370 US dollars.
In the United States, except for fast food restaurants such as Kaifeng Hua and Maida, there are no tips, and everything else is required.
Four cars all the way back to Jiang Hai's manor in a mighty manner. After parked the car, everyone went back to their own houses.
Jiang Hai also returned to his villa, took a bath in the room, and went back to watch TV for a while before falling asleep.
But he fell asleep, and there were too many people who couldn't sleep tonight. As a lawyer recommended by Yuntong Company, Moses Adams was naturally extremely responsible. He could show off in front of a rich man like Jiang Hai and win a fixed client. It was a very great thing for him. After all, for rich people, there were many places where lawyers were used.
For example, transfer, some labor-management disputes, some mergers and acquisitions, etc.
Even if it is an accounting company to settle accounts, they can do it. Rich people like Jiang Hai do nothing even if they are a regular lawyer. As long as they are fixed lawyers, they can earn tens of thousands of dollars.
This is something these lawyers cannot give up. After all, the annual income of a middle-class family in the United States is only tens of thousands of dollars.
So after leaving Winthrop, he did not return to Boston, but went directly to New York, where he sued the Winthrop Police Department, Boston Police Summer, and Massachusetts judicial system across states. Of course, Faraday's group did not escape because he had a testimony in his hand and a video taken by a camera. The people from the US were still very reliable. After all, he had already intervened in the state-level government, and the FBI had taken action at that time.
The former’s accusation is actually just a thunder and a little bit. After all, even if it is said in the video, the US imperialists have always implemented the policy of high salaries and maintaining integrity. The income of high-ranking officials in judicial organs such as the US imperialists is very large and very transparent.
If you have a few extra knives, you will easily be targeted by others, let alone blatantly accepting the plaintiff's money? This is simply impossible.
In the United States, generally speaking, the police dare not collect money because the former collects your money. Maybe you will report it to you after you finish the matter. At that time, not only will you be masturbated, but you will also have to double the compensation for the other party's money.
If the other party gives you money and you report it directly, not only will it be fine, but the court will also have to betray this person and go to prison and give you several times more money. This reward and punishment mechanism is too inhumane to say, and everything is tied to money.
But it is precisely because of this that the corruption here is controlled. They also use political donations and money from some merchants. For example, if a piece of land is to be sold, they will sell the news in advance to some people who are capable of competing for it. They will not disclose the lowest price, but just tell them that the land is to be sold and give them more time to raise money. With such news, these high-ranking officials have some money to cheat the plaintiff's money? They still look down on such small money.
So they dare not take these benefits. This is just that person is wearing tiger skins and making a big banner. Just a little investigation can be made to understand that these things have nothing to do with these people. So after receiving the news, these people just feel a little trouble.
But on the other hand, the police station in Winthrop was in a bleak state.
Because this policeman who committed the crime was in their police station, they said that this matter had nothing to do with them and others had to believe it?
Since ancient times, there is a saying in China that goes up and down. Although the US imperialists did not have this sentence, they understood the meaning of this sentence.
