"Wash the vegetables. Remove the red skin from the peanuts and dry them quickly. Then wash the two carrots..." Faced with the woman's provocation, Hong Tao was really powerless, so he had to wash the vegetables.
She was used as a small worker. She was asked to wash vegetables, pick vegetables, and wash dishes. However, Zhou Xiaoli did not resist at all and did whatever she was told. It seemed that she was really full and had no desire for anything in a short period of time.
Please.
Hong Tao cooks the dinner, while Zhou Xiaoli does the chores. It is cooked according to Chinese habits. Due to the existence of Taikoo Shopping Center and several other Chinatowns, most Chinese food ingredients and condiments can be purchased. Hong Tao made a water
To cook fish, the fish is a piece of fresh sea fish meat bought from the supermarket. Since Canadians basically don’t eat fresh water fish, they had to use sea fish instead. The result is very good. Not only is the fish meat fresh enough, but it also has fewer spines. It is better than using fresh water fish.
The food is delicious.
In addition, the shredded pork with Beijing sauce, Kung Pao chicken, coir-coated cucumbers, beef brisket with hot peppers, and tiger vegetables are all made from local ingredients. They are no different from the same dishes in China. The only thing that embarrasses Hong Tao is the food here.
Cucumbers are too big, the smallest one is as long as a forearm, and they have no thorns, and the skin is very smooth. They are green and green like domestic vegetable melons, but the taste is similar to cucumbers, so they can be used.
In addition to these dishes, the staple food was also changed to rice. This authentic Chinese meal made Old Gale's family very happy, especially Bloom, who liked the coir raincoat cucumber the most, and Hong Tao could turn cucumbers into
He was extremely impressed by the snake-like Kung Fu and firmly believed that Hong Tao really knew Chinese Kung Fu.
Hong Tao didn't understand the connection between cooking and Chinese Kung Fu. However, before starting the meal, it was interesting to see a table of foreigners praying solemnly to a plate of Kung Pao Chicken. Hong Tao almost couldn't hold back several times.
I wanted to laugh out loud, but my foot was stepped on by Zhou Xiaoli several times before I managed not to be too rude.
On the fourth day after Christmas, Mrs. Bulcock took Joan and Bloom to the United States to visit their grandfather and grandmother, leaving Old Gale alone at home. In previous years, Old Gale was the most depressed at this time.
When the children are at home, although he is a very rigid grandfather and does not talk to the children often, he is still very happy that his granddaughter and grandson can be with him, but it is difficult for his character to put himself
express his true temperament.
But this year, things changed for him. The old man no longer looked pitifully at his grandson and granddaughter leaving with their mother. On the contrary, he looked forward to them leaving early so that he could go out and play freely because he had Hong Tao as a toy.
The companionship, even if it was only temporary, rejuvenated the old man.
At noon on the day when Mrs. Bulcock left with the children, Old Gale came to Zhou Xiaoli's house again to have a meal. His favorite was the shredded pork with Beijing sauce made by Hong Tao, but he didn't use tofu skin to roll the meat.
It is not eaten in shreds, but rolled with ham slices. It is a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Hong Tao welcomes Old Gale to Zhou Xiaoli's house. This ghost place is too clean and has no entertainment activities. Although Zhou Xiaoli is with her, we can't use bed exercises as entertainment every day. It's a lot of fun to save that thing every two days.
, playing it all the time becomes a worry, mainly because Hong Tao has not traveled through time and become a crotch superman. Except for some extra memories in his head that ordinary people don't have, his whole body is the same as ordinary people.
Now that Old Gale is his neighbor, Hong Tao can have some entertainment activities, such as cleaning guns together, chatting about the customs and customs in Canada, or listening to the old man tell interesting stories about his time in the navy.
To pass the time in such a dull and boring day, if Zhou Xiaoli couldn't be dragged away, she could also play card games and bet a small amount of money which was quite interesting.
But today, Old Gale didn't eat Hong Tao's lunch in vain. He brought Hong Tao a surprise. Fat Pavey, who was playing tricks on Hong Tao at the shooting range that day, called Old Gale. He was going to invite Hong Tao to go ice fishing.
, the time is tomorrow, Old Gale came here specifically to ask Hong Tao if he is willing to participate. Of course, a meal of shredded pork with Beijing sauce is also a must.
Hong Tao's answer was very simple, just one word: Go!
During the days when he came to Toronto, Hong Tao had held the map here many times and sighed, because the water resources here are so abundant. The city itself is located on the shore of Lake Ontario, and there is Lake Erie nearby.
Lake Lun, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior are four large lakes. These lakes are not comparable to Taihu Lake and West Lake. Their total area is more than 200,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the entire Guangxi Province. Can you imagine that there is a
What is the concept of saving such a big lake?
Apart from these five large lakes, there are basically no large areas of land in the central and eastern parts of Canada. From the map, they are all densely packed blue areas. No matter which road you go along, you must be able to encounter it within 100 kilometers.
There are more than 10 large lakes and reservoirs, as well as countless small lakes and rivers.
Hong Tao had gritted his teeth many times and cursed the Canadians. They were so lucky. Why did they choose this treasure land? It not only has beautiful scenery, rich minerals, dense forests, but also has so much water resources.
The most annoying thing is that there are so few people. If distributed evenly, hundreds of people can be assigned to a lake or reservoir. What is the concept? This is a fishing paradise!
But Hong Tao was very depressed because he came to Canada with a cold climate just in winter. During this season, almost all lakes in Canada will freeze. Even the five Great Lakes, which are very large in area, are also frozen along the coast.
During this period, not only fishing boats were unable to sail, but even shipping was stopped.
According to Hong Tao's plan, he should return to China around March. By that time, China has entered spring, but the winter in Canada has not yet passed, so Hong Tao feels that he has no chance to enjoy fishing in Canada. However,
Old Gale's invitation gave Hong Tao hope again. Although it was impossible to catch any big fish in ice fishing, it was still a good way to satisfy his hunger, so as not to suffer a big regret after returning to China. A trip to Baoshan cannot be empty-handed.
Let's go back.
In the early morning of the next day, Hong Tao endured his heartache and put on the new sealskin jacket Zhou Xiaoli bought for him, because Old Gale had specially warned him yesterday to pay attention to keeping warm. The temperature on the ice can be as low as minus 40 degrees.
Ordinary down jacket and cold protection
The clothes couldn't withstand the low temperature, so they had to wear special snowsuits to keep warm. Zhou Xiaoli seemed to have put on her own sealskin jacket to match Hong Tao's dress. As a result, the two of them were dressed in gray mouse skin, and
It really looks like a couple's costume.
The three people got into Old Gale's powerful pickup truck and crawled toward the highway in the night. The reason why they were crawling was because the snow on the ground was too thick. It had been five days since Hong Tao arrived in Toronto.
, we caught up with 2 heavy snowfalls in total
, or it could be said to be one, because the snow had been falling since he arrived at the airport, and then it stopped intermittently several times, each time lasting less than 2 hours, and then continued to snow. In Hong Tao’s impression,
, it’s been snowing almost all these days.
"The busiest profession here is probably the snowplow drivers, right? It's snowing like this, so they have to work overtime every day, right?" Hong Tao saw those snowplows again on the highway. This time, there were not so many of them together, only
Five cars slowly crawled on the road with their dazzling warning lights flashing, using their big snow shovels to shovel all the snow to the side of the road.
"You're not used to the climate here yet. There's not much snow this year." Old Gale was already used to this kind of road conditions. He used his car to skillfully avoid the gullies formed by the snow on the road.
"Where are we going to go ice fishing? Are you familiar with that place?" Hong Tao took out his atlas and turned to the Toronto page. Before going to a new fishing spot, try to learn as much information as possible about the fishing spot. This is what every fisherman wants.
Homework that must be done.
"Lake Simcoe, where I live for a while every summer, fishing and water skiing. Pavey's home is on the lake, so his fishing skills are the best among our group of veterans. Today you
You must work hard to defeat him, and don't be polite, otherwise Pavel will be unhappy." Old Gale pointed at Hong Tao's map.
