Genius remembers in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Boston is not very good at this point, it gets cold too fast.
In fact, Boston's latitude is about 41 degrees, which is the same latitude as the domestic imperial capital.
But the time when it starts to get cold here is about the same as Jiang Hai's hometown of Bingcheng.
In many countries, the first snow actually has many meanings, but here in Jiang Hai, snow means snow, which has a special meaning... After seeing the snow falling last night, Jiang Hai closed all the windows. Get up and turn on the floor heating.
But even so, he didn't sleep well that night. After all, the window had been open for a long time, and he was really a little panicked when it was suddenly closed. It was rare that Jiang Hai got up from his sleep at six o'clock again.
However, it was six o'clock in Boston at this time, and the sky was just getting a little brighter...
He opened the bedroom window to let some air in, but as soon as the window was opened, the cold wind rushed in instantly. Jiang Hai couldn't help but shiver from the cold, and the weapon under his crotch couldn't help but twitch.
"Hey, it's really exciting, but it looks like winter has arrived..." Looking at the white patch of snow outside, Jiang Hai couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. Although he was a northerner, he obviously liked summer more than anything else. Like winter.
Shrinking his neck, Jiang Hai went to the bathroom to wash up, then changed into his own clothes and went downstairs.
I found that Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai were a little lazy today, but Jiang Hai ignored them and opened the door directly.
The door opened, and the cold wind immediately poured into Jiang Hai's villa. At this time, Xiao Huang, Xiao Bai and Jiu Jiu, who were sleeping on the warm floor, reacted almost instantly and looked at Jiang Hai with a look of complaint. Guy is so annoying.
However, Jiang Hai didn't care. He smiled and walked out of the room. At a glance, he saw a white scene everywhere. The road was white, the lawn was white, and even the artificial road in the distance was white. The top of the river is covered with a thin layer of frost-like ice, which shows how cold the weather was last night...
After getting used to it, Jiang Hai simply stretched his waist, exhaled a breath of white breath, and prepared to go to the warehouse over the bullpen.
Recently, he has to go to the warehouse to help bundle straw every morning. Although he is the boss, he can't do nothing, can he?
But before he left, he saw Robbins-Garcia and the others walking out of the warehouse with some things.
"Hey, Robbins, won't you be baling grass today?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but asked with some doubts as he saw them coming.
"Uh, boss, where are we going to get some grass?" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins glanced around, and then said helplessly. After hearing what he said, Jiang Hai was dumbfounded for a moment, and then laughed at himself. He laughed, yes, there is snow everywhere, where can we find grass? Thinking of this, he himself felt a little embarrassed in the air.
"By the way, boss, let's help you clear the land here first." Perhaps sensing Jiang Hai's embarrassment, as a qualified dog-legger, Robbins-Garcia immediately changed the subject. He said with a serious face.
"The snow is not very thick, so there is no need to clear it." He raised his feet and took a look. Although the snow that fell last night was not light, it was not particularly heavy. After all, it was just the first snow. Although Jiang Hai did not People eat fried chicken and drink beer, but the snow is really not that big.
Now it seems that it is only three or four centimeters thick, which is far worse than last winter.
"It's because the snow is thin, so we need to deal with it immediately, because the weather is not that cold yet. Today's weather forecast says it will be 13 degrees. The snow will turn into water at noon, and then it will turn into water before it is exposed to the sun. When night comes when it is dry, it will freeze again, and then it will be ice." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins-Garcia said to Jiang Hai.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Hai nodded. Indeed, after the snow turns into water, it will be in trouble if it freezes again.
Jiang Hai didn't want the door of his house to be so slippery, so he immediately agreed and picked up a broom to help.
When it snowed for the first time last year, it was already at the end of November. At that time, the first snowfall was quite heavy.
A broom is of little use on snow like that, but now that there is only a few centimeters of thin snow, a broom is the best thing.
On the contrary, shovels and the like are not very effective. They don’t care whether there is snow or not on the pasture, so what Jiang Hai and the others want to clear is just the road. There is a parking lot in front of his house. Today, Edward Anderson and the others also There was no rush to get to the pier.
They all came over to get things and helped. They all said that there is strength in numbers, and this is true. Jiang Hai and the others started sweeping the floor at six o'clock, and by about eight o'clock they had finished sweeping the floor. Jiang Hai even went out of his way to talk to Mullen and Rupert flew the helicopter around the manor together, and only after making sure that there were no unswept roads left, did he return home.
When they returned home, Bernice, Xiaoya, Darlene, Marianne and Azarina were all up.
Xiaoya also made breakfast, and everyone gathered around the table and started eating.
"When did it snow last night? It snowed so heavily..." While eating the wontons made by Xiaoya, Bernice asked with some confusion. She didn't notice it was snowing outside when she went to bed last night.
"You just left not long ago, I don't remember either." After hearing what Bernice said, Jiang Hai thought about it. He also forgot when Bernice left. He only remembered that he saw the next After the snow, I went upstairs to sleep.
"It's snowing today, do you have any activities?" Looking at Jiang Hai, Bernice asked with a smile.
"Probably not, just stay at home honestly." Jiang Hai curled his lips when he heard Bernice's words.
I have to admit that Jiang Hai is not too idle in the summer. He still has some things to do, but when winter comes, he really has nothing to do. Last winter, he played basketball and fished all winter. Winter fish.
But last year it was just him, so it didn't matter. This year there were so many people around him, it was impossible for him to play basketball and fish. Besides, after the addiction passed, he didn't like these two hobbies so much.
Now when you ask him what he wants to do in winter, he is also a little confused because he doesn't know what he wants to do.
"If you have nothing to do today, let's make candied haws." Seeing that Jiang Hai had nothing to do, Bernice here thought for a moment and suddenly said to Jiang Hai, hearing her suggestion , Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then touched his chin.
"This is okay..." After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Hai felt that making candied haws would be pretty good.
Candied haws on a stick is a traditional Chinese snack that can be found all over the country. I believe people in China are familiar with this snack.
The method is also very simple. Use bamboo skewers to string the fruits you want to eat into a bunch. The most common one is slag. Of course, there are many different ones now, such as grapes, kiwis, peaches, and apples. , oranges, strawberries, etc., there are all kinds of them, and then they are dipped in boiled sugar and then cooled, and they are delicious.
However, when it comes to cooling, one thing is very important, that is, it must be frozen. The taste of frozen candied haws is really different from that of unfrozen candied haws. However, if you put these candied haws in a cold storage or freeze them in the refrigerator, the effect will not be Great.
The best effect is to freeze it using the weather, then it will taste quite good.
In fact, Bernice said she wanted to eat this thing in autumn, because there are many fruit trees here in Jiang Hai, and it is harvest time in autumn. Looking at those fruits, she was a little greedy, but that At that time, the weather was not cold enough, so Jiang Hai did not do it. Now that the weather is cold, he can do this.
"That's great, let's come together!" After hearing Jiang Hai agreed to do it, Bernice here couldn't help laughing, and then said to the girls next to her. After hearing what Bernice said, Xiaoya is She was very excited because she had eaten it before.
But Darlene and Marianne looked at each other. They had never eaten this thing before, but seeing how excited Bernice and Xiaoya were, they were quite interested. Only Azarina shrugged. She shrugged, she had eaten this toy before, but she didn't think it was very delicious, but everyone wanted to make it, and she would not be an exception.
Since everyone agreed to do this, everyone ate much faster. After eating, Jiang Hai and Bernice went to the warehouse where the fruits were stored to see what they were going to do.
Jiang Hai likes to eat fruits very much, and because he has spiritual energy here, the fruits grow quite well.
Although he has no intention of selling fruits, he grows a lot of them at home, such as hawthorns, blue plums, kiwis, nectarines, strawberries, cherries (cherries), etc. There are everything. Looking at these fruits, Bai Nice also moved her index finger.
After looking around, he picked a lot of food and carried it back to the villa.
After getting the fruit back, they started to prepare for it, removing seeds and peeling. Bernice could figure out these things without Jiang Hai, but there was one problem. There were no bamboo skewers and rock sugar at home, which made the girls a little confused. Headache.
"I'll go to the town and have a look." But Jiang Hai didn't care, and then decided to go to the town to see if he could buy anything.
He knew that he could definitely buy bamboo skewers, because in the United States, some people like to use skewers to grill and eat barbecue.
I heard that it was passed down from the Middle East and China. At the last barbecue party, many of the barbecues Jiang Hai had were skewered with bamboo skewers, so bamboo skewers are definitely available, but rock sugar, just Let's try our luck.
Americans like to eat sugar, granulated sugar, marshmallow, caramel, maple sugar, they like to eat all kinds of sugar, but Jiang Hai really has no idea whether rock sugar is available in the United States, so he told everyone After a while, Jiang Hai drove to the town.
When his car drove out of the manor, he saw a sweeper truck working on the road in the town.
After getting out of the way of the snow clearing truck, Jiang Hai drove into the town. However, as soon as he entered, he found that the town was also very busy. At this time, everyone was also clearing away the snow that fell yesterday. It seemed that except for the town decoration, Apart from that, there is no time when it is so popular.
I saw Jiang Hai again. I wonder if it was because Jiang Hai attended those two parties and went to watch the town rugby team play a game. This time when Jiang Hai came to the town, at least those young people were friendly to Jiang Hai. many.
Some people also started to take the initiative to say hello to Jiang Hai, which was a good start.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Jiang Hai tightened his clothes and went to a supermarket on the commercial street. Supermarket is the abbreviation of supermarket, but in fact it is not a supermarket. It is more like a convenience store. .
But even so, the daily sales here are not low.
Even though Winthrop has entered winter at this time, there are still some people coming here to play. At least currently, there are more than a dozen people shopping in this store, many of whom are Chinese. In addition to buying some daily necessities, Many Chinese people will take some cigarettes from here when they leave. This is also a Chinese habit.
Although Jiang Hai does not smoke, he also has some knowledge about American cigarettes. When it comes to American cigarettes, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will think of Marlboro. However, in fact, Marlboro is from Switzerland and has nothing to do with the United States. However, the sales volume is the largest in the United States. of.
The most popular cigarettes in the United States are Camel, then Winston, Lucky, and one called American Spirit. There is an Indian smoking on the outside of the cigarette box. According to legend, this kind of cigarette does not add any flavors and is pure tobacco leaves. Tobacco products are very popular in the United States, but they are also very powerful. Apart from this American spirit, the best-selling product is Marlboro White.
The Chinese tourists in the store at this time are all picking cigarettes. Each person can only take two cigarettes back to China, so there is really not much choice.
This store was considered Jiang Hai's store, and he rented it out, so when Jiang Hai walked in, he was stopped by the store manager.
"Hi, Jiang, you're here. Do you have anything to buy?" Seeing Jiang Hai walk in, the store manager, a bearded man, said with a smile. His current life is closely related to Jiang Hai, and besides, he I also heard that Jiang Hai has great ideas about integrating here, so he will not be stingy about releasing his kindness.
"Oh, hello, you are... Luo Lin..." Looking at the bearded store manager who came to say hello, Jiang Hai hesitated for a moment and thought for a long time, but did not call out this person's name. Indeed, he was very fond of Wens. The Luopu people are really not familiar with it.
"Rolin Kanal, it's good if you remember that my name is Luo Lin. Haha, is there anything you want to buy?" Hearing that Jiang Hai still remembered that his name was Luo Lin, the bearded man looked very happy. asked Jiang Hai. (To be continued.)
