Chapter 787 The new case of preserved eggs and tuna
And Clay is really lucky, because not long ago, in order to win over civil servants, Mr. President introduced a policy that all federal employees can have up to 12 Weeks of paid paternity leave. Although this policy is limited in scope, it can be said to be unprecedented.
Based on the experience of his previous life, Jack also found a nanny for Clay. Of course, the old Americans don’t have this term. Strictly speaking, she should be called the cook. It was none other than Wolfe. Maria, one of the two Mexican maids whom the brothers rescued from Mexico.
Jack tipped off the Wolf brothers (Chapter 485) to ask them to go to Mexico to pick up a leak, but because he didn't think carefully enough, he brought back two oil bottles.
From then on, the young maid named Sonia and the other cook named Maria lived on the farm of Brother Wolfe.
Sonia is young, beautiful and very capable, but she has remained single. Now she plays a role similar to that of a housekeeper on the farm.
The cook Maria is in her forties, but somehow she hooks up with Justin’s father, Professor Haber.
Professor Haber was actually just over 60 years old, but he had worried too much about Justin's illness and looked a little premature, like a little old man.
As we all know, anyone who is close to Jack will gradually recover no matter how poor their health was before. However, this naturally brings about a problem. After their health improves, some elderly people My mind became more alive.
Now that the daughter has recovered to be close to normal, the old man spends his days doing nothing on the farm after retiring. Apart from fishing, he and the cook Maria are raising the baby for the Braxtons. After getting along day and night, the relationship comes naturally. emotion.
The problem is that the relationship between the two is a little strange now. The former calls the latter respectfully like a professor and still insists on working in the kitchen, while the latter is showing courtesy to the latter with a bouquet of flowers every day, sending them to her with "honey" at every turn. Take off an old licking dog.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the two of them are in love with each other, and Justin doesn’t know how many times he has seen the cook sneaking into his father’s room with a blushing face at night.
But the relationship between the professor and the cook has reached a stalemate, which seems to be related to Maria's experience of being sold by her drug addict husband.
So Jack came up with a bad idea. On the pretext of helping to take care of pregnant women and children, he transferred Maria to New York from the West Coast and temporarily lived in Clay's house, so that the two of them could be separated for a while.
It is said that a long absence is better than a newlywed. When the time is almost up, just ask Professor Haber to prepare the ring and you can win it in one fell swoop.
Of course, there will be a lot of naughty operations, from various psychological suggestion routines to bloody plot design, all done by Justine, a precious daughter who doesn't take it too seriously when watching the excitement.
Even Rossi had a hand in it. As Professor Haber's closest comrade-in-arms (fishing buddy), Rossi relied on his rich experience in love (marriage and divorce) over the years to be responsible for Final review and revision of all romance plots.
The rest of the people stayed on the sidelines and helped prepare the wedding in advance, adhering to their usual spirit of eating melons.
After busying with these trivial matters, the time has come to the hottest time of the year. After a full week of rest, everyone has calmed down. Some went home to find their mother, while others bought a boat. A luxury yacht took a group of supermodels out to sea for a party.
Although everyone has different ways of relieving their emotions, Jack still expressed extreme contempt for someone and resolutely drew a clear line with them. He actually waited until he returned to port to tell himself this kind of thing. Look, I don’t want to make progress at all.
——
"Bang!" A large and heavy plastic box was placed on the cooking table by the two of them. Aubrey shook his sore arm vigorously and looked around in confusion, "Where did Jack go? ?”
In his impression, Jack should be already busy in the kitchen at this time. Even if there is no dinner party, as long as there is nothing else, Jack will be there at two or three in the afternoon every one or two days. Sometimes I will be busy for two or three hours and cook a lot of delicious food.
Anyway, don’t worry about having no one to eat. Just drive to the Federal Building or NYPD headquarters. The most indispensable thing there is pot-bellied people.
"Hannah said that if you can't find him in the kitchen, he must be in the backyard." Clay pointed in the direction of the back door.
Aubrey excitedly pushed open the back door, "Hey, Jack, you must have no idea what I got for everyone?" "Did you catch the mermaid from the Atlantic Ocean? What color is it?" Jack squatted on the ground. He asked without looking back, wondering what he was busy with.
“It’s tuna, uh. Mermaids also have different skin colors?” Considering that Disney in this world has not yet invented mermaids with other skin colors, Aubrey didn’t understand what Jack was trying to say at all, but When he saw Jack wearing rubber gloves and playing with mud, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Walter. What are you doing? Why are you wrapping the eggs in mud?"
"I'm making your favorite 'deviled eggs', and these are duck eggs and quail. Egg, a week at sea has made you unable to distinguish the size of round objects below a D cup, right?”
It’s okay to think of duck eggs as chicken eggs, but it’s a bit too much to think of quail eggs as chicken eggs. Of course, Jack’s words were somewhat resentful. They didn’t take him with them when they went out to sea. Even Hannah and Jiejie definitely didn’t. Yes, but whether to go or not is one thing. Whether to shout or not is a matter of attitude.
"Deviled eggs" are preserved eggs, also known as preserved eggs. Duck eggs and quail eggs are wrapped in a layer of yellow mud mixed with hydrated lime, salt water, edible alkali, Erguotou, ground tea leaves and a bunch of spices. Jack rolled them in the chaff again, and then carefully put them into the jar one by one.
"Is this done?" Aubrey's eyes were still wide-eyed. Although he was a person who just ate and didn't know how to do anything, he was also very interested in appreciating the process of other people making delicious food.
"We'll have to wait about 15 days." Jack went into the house and cleaned the rubber gloves that were stained with yellow mud, and opened the large plastic box that Aubrey and Clay carried into the kitchen.
Just now when the two were squatting in the backyard chatting, Clay had already started calling everyone one by one to inform everyone that there would be delicious food tonight.
"Is this what you gained from this trip to sea?" This time it was Jack's turn to widen his eyes. The plastic box was filled with ice cubes, and underneath the ice cubes was a yellowfin tuna nearly 2 meters long.
Although the meat quality of yellowfin tuna is said to be not as outstanding as that of bluefin tuna, this giant fish weighing nearly 200 kilograms is now considered rare. Jack looked at Aubrey suspiciously.
"Did you really catch this?" With this guy's physique, he might not have been dragged into the sea immediately and turned into a bait for making nests, right?
Aubrey looked insulted, "Although the captain was the main force, I also had a relay puller. It took the two of us more than an hour to pull this big guy on board. "
"Awesome, remember to take me with you next time." Jack is really envious. He has a special physique. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he will not only lose in gambling but also in the air force. He can only follow. The way others are fooling around.
Even though he always seems to be very experienced in enforcing fishing laws, if you give him a fishing rod, in most cases he won't even be able to catch a small piece of fish.
Aubrey still had a very proud look on his face. He didn’t even mention that it took more than an hour to pull the lever. He only lasted less than 10 minutes.
As for taking Jack with him when he goes to sea next time, unless the wanted criminal group does team building, he really wants to live for a few more years. I really don’t think he can see the difference between some people. That little thing in between?
The tuna that took more than an hour to catch was processed by Jack in only half an hour. When the guests came to the office after receiving Clay’s call and walked into the kitchen on the first floor, they were chopped into pieces. The opened fish heads and bones are already boiling in the oversized stainless steel soup pot, and the milky white fish soup is exuding an attractive fragrance.
Jack didn’t like eating raw food very much, but he still cut a plate of belly for everyone to taste. There was no way anyone could finish such a big fish, so more than half of the fish was packed into categories. It was stored in a large luxury refrigerator provided by a certain great writer for free.
After tasting the sashimi, everyone asked for cooked tuna. Aubrey's tuna had been out of the water less than 48 hours ago. Although the experienced captain bled it in time, the time for detoxification was obviously not enough.
The fatty fish sizzles with the hot butter. Just like the steak, it only needs to be fried to medium rare and sprinkled with a little sea salt to make it an extremely tempting delicacy.
Just as everyone was feasting, Jiejie's cell phone suddenly rang, followed by Jack and Jubal's, and then other people's cell phones also rang with notifications one after another.
