Chapter 178 177. Do It Yourself (2/3)
Chapter 178
Li Du bought some beef yesterday. American supermarkets are full of meat from Angus beef and Limousin cattle. This kind of meat is good-looking and overbearing, but the taste is so-so.
He bought Hereford beef, which is more delicate than Angus beef, and of course the price is also higher.
Li Du is not stingy about spending money on meals. In fact, if there is no golden Aquitaine beef in ordinary supermarkets, he would prefer to buy this high-end French beef.
The beef was soaked in water three times to wash away the accumulated blood, and the rest was just stewed in a pot. He didn't add a lot of seasoning, just poured a little white wine and threw in a bunch of green onions.
While stewing the meat, he began to think about what had happened before, and the bug flew into the crispy noodles' head, just like it flew into Ah Meow's head for the first time.
He waved at Gan Zhimian, and the little guy ran over immediately, looking at him with a shy face and wide eyes, looking like a good baby.
This is more obedient than many trained cats and dogs. Raccoons are less tame than cats and dogs, and their brains are also less developed. It stands to reason that it is impossible to understand a person's gestures.
Apparently, after the little flying insect entered the crispy noodle's head, it changed and became more intelligent.
Li Du didn't understand how Little Flying Insect chose an animal. Does it need to be his pet?
This also doesn't make sense, he adopted Ah Miao very early, and the little flying insects didn't get into its head as soon as they met the crispy noodles like this time.
Shaking his head to get these questions out of his mind, Li Du decided to concentrate on cooking first.
The meat is stewed, and he has prepared several dipping sauces such as mashed garlic, peanut butter, and leek sauce. The finger meat is a perfect match with these dipping sauces.
In addition, he took out the celery and simply boiled it in boiling water, rinsed it with cold water, put in peanuts and almonds, mixed it with soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil, and a cold dish came out of the oven.
He simply squatted on the ground anxiously to watch him work. Li Du guessed that he hadn't eaten and would be very hungry.
Raccoons are nocturnal animals, they sleep during the day and hunt for food at night.
Li Du handed it a peanut, and the crispy noodles were caught by its front paws like a monkey. There were five toes on its paws, one of which was like a human thumb and could be bent. It held the peanuts with this toe. .
Grabbing the peanuts, it quickly climbed onto the table, and then saw that there was water in a bowl, so it stretched out its paws to clean the peanuts.
Li Du knew the origin of the animal's name "raccoon" for a long time. People discovered a long time ago that they would wash their food with water before eating.
For a long time, zoologists believed that raccoons did this because they salivate so little that they couldn't swallow their food.
It was later discovered that they secrete a lot of saliva, and they can eat rough dried fruits with relish.
Then, zoologists believe that they clean the food because of the habitual action formed after catching fish and shrimps by the river. Some people even think that raccoons are not cleaning things, they are looking for fish and shrimps by the water.
Raccoons are omnivores, they like to eat fruits and vegetables, fish, shrimp and insects.
But Li Du felt that this statement was not right. The crispy noodles were washing the food, with a serious expression on their furry little faces.
After washing the peanuts, fill the crispy noodles in your mouth, and you are very happy to eat them.
After brewing tea and cooking the meat, Li Du took out the meat to cool it quickly, and then called Rose to come out for dinner.
There is a large floor-to-ceiling window next to the dining room in the room. When you sit here and eat, you can see the lights of thousands of houses outside as soon as you turn your head.
The streets were filled with cars and people, and the buildings were brightly lit. Unknowingly, it began to rain, and the rain soon became heavier, crackling and beating on the glass, making the outside world hazy.
Rose grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons.
In this way, even though the sky outside was dark and dark, Li Du still felt that he saw the moonlight.
"It's delicious." Rose said happily after wolfing it down.
Li Du took a piece of meat and dipped it in leek sauce, put it on her plate, and said with a smile, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Seeing his action, Rose suddenly raised her head and looked at him strangely.
Li Du was startled: "What's wrong? Don't draw your gun if you have something to say!"
Rose giggled and said, "It's nothing, eat quickly, eat quickly, and you eat too."
The boiled beef is not affected by the flavor of the seasoning, but only has a pure meaty smell. Ah Miao rubbed a piece of it, and it was very happy to eat it with her little paws.
Li Du gave a piece of crispy noodles, and the crispy noodles scrambled around anxiously with a piece of meat in their mouths.
Rose asked, "What is it doing?"
Li Du took a bowl to fill some water, washed the meat in the crispy noodles, and then ate slowly.
The policewoman was stunned: "This bear thing is really hygienic."
"Otherwise, why is it called a raccoon?" Li Du laughed.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ah Miao stopped eating meat. It stared at the crispy noodles for a while, then threw its own meat into the bowl, pulled it twice with its claws, and ate it again.
Rose's jaw was about to drop to the ground: "My God! My God! My God! Does your cat understand us or something? Or is it learning from a raccoon?"
"Obviously studying." Li Du quickly explained.
Rose didn't pay attention to it, she was busy eating meat.
It was pouring rain outside, watching the hazy night rain, eating delicious beef, and drinking clear strong tea was definitely a kind of enjoyment.
Xiaochong made the crispy noodles smarter, which saved Li Du the trouble of teaching it to defecate at a fixed point. From that night on, the crispy noodles knew how to go to the pet toilet to defecate.
Ah Miao was very unhappy, so Li Du had to sleep with his arms around him, making him feel that he was still the most favored one.
July kicked off with a heavy rain that fell overnight, leaving bluer skies, better air quality and cooler temperatures.
In the morning, Li Du took the two little guys to find Hans, who was busy in the garage.
Godzilla, Stephen, and Hannah are all helping, and the four of them are busy with greasy faces.
Li Du asked, "What are you doing?"
Hans said: "I have classified the accessories first, and I plan to assemble a few motorcycles, which will be more valuable than selling accessories."
"Can it work?" Li Du felt that assembling a motorcycle from a bunch of second-hand parts was no easier than building one himself.
Hans nodded and said, "Of course, come and see, the accessories here are complete."
"Look, here's the engine and parts, crankcase, cylinders, pistons, ring crankshaft valves, fuel tank, fuel pump, oil pump, carburetor, EFI..."
"Here are the drivetrain components, clutches, transmissions, transmission controls, belt drive components, shaft drive components..."
"There are also walking system parts, frame, fenders, fork shock absorbers, shock absorber accessories, wheels, hubs, rims... car lock alarms, bumpers, mirrors, glove boxes, protective frames..."
"In short, very complete!"
