"It doesn't matter. This is stipulated in their teachings.
When slaughtering land animals, they are required to have their imams who specialize in this job do the slaughtering.
It is said that they also have a complete set of procedures that require prayer, which is quite complicated anyway. Just let them do it. If we don’t understand the religious rituals, we should leave them alone.”
Anything that becomes involved with religion will become very troublesome. Especially this kind of sect that only respects one god. It is either/or, extremely simple and crude, and it is impossible to explain the truth with such believers.
Sun Dahai is an atheist and has no interest in the teachings and rituals of any religion. His principle is to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them.
It was almost time, and the invited guests arrived in droves. Sun Dahai, accompanied and guided by Linkwood, Dalton and Joseph, greeted the guests with ease, making everyone fully feel the enthusiasm of Garrison Ranch.
The number of guests was slightly more than planned, but the ranch was fully prepared. Even if there were more people, there would be no problem in receiving them.
Sun Dahai is the owner of the ranch and the initiator of this party. It is naturally his responsibility to welcome the guests. However, the organizer of tonight's party will be the manager of the ranch, Linkwood.
Linkwood will be in charge of the work here in the future, and he is not a local, so today's party is also a good opportunity for him to establish connections.
Garrison Ranch is one of the most famous ranches in Celias Town. Although it has been split up, it is still the focus of attention of the townspeople.
Now that the ranch has a new owner, the townspeople are also very curious about where they will take the ranch. Now the ranch invites everyone to the party for the first time, so everyone who has received the invitation basically comes.
Town Mayor Kebbinson also arrived early. He and Joseph have been old friends for many years. Through Joseph, he already knew about the public development plan of the Garrison Ranch.
He knew that if the Garrison Ranch developed as planned, within a few years, the economic vitality of Celias Town would be boosted by the ranch.
Therefore, he is very concerned about the dynamics of the Garrison Ranch. He also participated in the acquisition negotiations a few days ago and expressed his support for the ranch in this way.
In the American political system, the town mayor is not a government civil servant, nor does he accept appointments from the government. This position is elected by the citizens of the town where he belongs. He has no salary and only serves the townspeople.
In other words, the mayor is equivalent to a volunteer elected by the townspeople to serve everyone. There is no profit, but he can gain reputation and political qualifications.
In addition to being the mayor of the town, Cabinson also has another identity, that is, the owner of the only gas station and motel in the town.
It is very close to Yellowstone National Park. During the tourist season, his family's business is booming, which brings him a lot of income every year.
Cabinson has just turned fifty this year and has the desire to develop into politics. If the economy of Celias Town can be boosted by Garrison Ranch, then he will have the capital to compete for the position of state legislator.
Therefore, he paid close attention to the affairs of the ranch and came to the ranch before the party started. While helping, he also wanted to communicate more with the senior management of the ranch.
Kebinson saw Sun Dahai and Linkwood busy receiving guests, so he started chatting with Chen Feng, who had nothing to do. Chen Feng's English was only half-baked, and Fang Ying was pretty good, acting as their translator.
After a while, everyone was almost there. Linkwood walked to the middle of the venue, said a few words briefly, and announced the start of the party.
Americans are simple and direct in doing things. A party is a gathering of eating, drinking and having fun. There will be no lengthy speeches. If you have any questions, you can talk to someone in private with a plate and a glass of wine. It is a buffet anyway, so everyone can move around as they please.
The food at the party was very sumptuous. Especially the fresh seafood brought by Julie was a big hit at the party.
Although seafood is also sold in the Rocky Mountains, the price is very high and the freshness is not enough. The residents of Celias have relatively few opportunities to eat it.
The seafood was mainly handled by Hu Cheng and Villa. They made one Chinese style, one Spanish style, and some were directly grilled in American style, making the guests smile with joy.
Sun Dahai's experimental promotion of the hotpot mutton was also very well received. He arranged for two maids, each of whom guarded a charcoal-burning copper hot pot. The mutton was available in two types: mutton slices and fresh mutton.
The two of them are responsible for cooking the meat, then putting three or four slices into a small plate, adding dipping sauce, and inviting the guests to taste it.
Andrew was also arranged here by Sun Dahai to serve as a food tray and commentator. Having a food tray was different. After a while, the place was surrounded by guests and a long queue formed. The speed at which the two maids cooked the meat was like
I can no longer keep up with everyone’s tasting speed.
Sun Dahai was a little worried about whether the dipping sauce would be accepted by Americans at first, but now it seems that they are still very willing to accept new things, and Sun Dahai's attempt was a great success.
Maniel and Yasha have long been craving for the mutton-boiled meat. They loved eating the dumplings sent by Sun Dahai yesterday. Now that they see Sun Dahai launching a new dish, their hearts are ready to eat.
Already.
However, Subha was by their side, and the words and deeds of the brothers and sisters were restricted. They could only wait for Subha to make arrangements.
Subha had never eaten mutton-shabu-shabu before. He found that this new dish was very popular, so he asked his servants to cut some fresh meat strips from the sheep they slaughtered, and went to Sun Dahai to order a new hot pot.
Started rinsing it.
Sun Dahai's skill in preparing dipping sauces has long been taught to Battelle. Today's dipping sauce was made by Battelle, and all the ingredients were bought and brought over by Julie Hua from Chinatown in San Francisco.
However, it won’t be too difficult for Garrison Ranch to want these Chinese condiments in the future.
Supermarket owner Evan Turner has promised that in the future, as long as Chinese food condiments are approved for sale by the US Food and Drug Administration, you can order them from him, and it will only take one to two weeks for them to arrive.
Chinese food condiments must be prepared, because Sun Dahai has already told Huang Feifei over the phone, asking her to find experts in grazing, growing vegetables, and raising fish and shrimps in Shiweitian, and prepare to export labor and send them to work in the ranch.
These jobs are all strenuous, and it's not a big deal if our compatriots don't have enough to eat.
Sun Dahai plans to recruit fifteen to twenty compatriots to the United States, and will also send a Chinese chef. While cooking for everyone, the chef will also teach the Villa and his wife Chinese cooking skills. The couple has already applied with Sun Dahai
