Chapter 709: I just can see through

Dinner Xiao Peng didn't get started: Martin and the others insisted on letting Xiao Peng taste the flavor of their hometown, and Xiao Peng didn't want to correct their wrong understanding of Chinese cuisine. They just took this opportunity to be lazy, ran to the reef, and got the business done.
And Xiao Peng's so-called business is to study how to bring this California red abalone home.
Because red abalone is a subtropical species, it is difficult to adapt to the ecological conditions in the northern China seas, so large-scale aquaculture production cannot be realized. In the southern coastal waters of China, it is not suitable for algae food, so large-scale culture cannot be carried out.
But in Qianliyan Fishery, these are all fine. Isn't it the temperature? Isn't it just food? Qianliyan lacks nothing!
But the biggest question is: how to bring these California red abalones home?
According to China's laws and regulations, aquatic animal products are prohibited items. California red abalone, as aquatic animal products, is strictly prohibited from being carried or mailed into China. Unless there is a valid quarantine permit and related inspection and quarantine certificate, it is impossible for someone to handle it. Almost no one uses California red abalone as dry abalone. Therefore, 99.99% of the California red abalones eaten in China are fake.
Xiao Peng was also worried, and he still had to travel, he couldn't bring back the California red abalone. Can't you just give them spiritualism and let them crawl over? At the speed of the California red abalone, they won’t be able to climb to Qianliyan even after their grandson is dead. . . . . .
Just when Xiao Peng was worried, a group of black figures appeared in front of Xiao Peng's mind clone. Xiao Peng became happy when he saw it. This was really thinking that Wang Ba was here, there was a way!
What appeared in Xiao Peng's field of vision was really a bunch of big bastards! Oh no, it's a turtle! The oldest reptile in the world: Loggerhead! Also known as the Red Sea Turtle in China! Isn't this a ready-made bus?
When the Spirit Revelation is hit, don't run any one! Each loggerhead turtle carries some California red abalone on its back, and the red abalone is also enlightened. The bus is up! According to the migration speed of loggerhead turtles, it will reach Qianliyan in one month, and another good thing has been done, not bad.
Seeing the group of loggerhead turtles swimming towards the distance, Xiao Peng felt relieved. Xiao Peng stretched his waist and just wanted to go back, but he heard someone from the side say: "Sir, can you keep the same posture just now?"
Xiao Peng froze for a moment, followed the reputation, and saw a girl sitting not far away, wearing a short-sleeved jeans shirt, a Yankees baseball cap, and a pair of sunglasses. Holding a sketchbook while drawing, it seems that I am using myself as a model.
Xiao Peng smiled, sat back in the original posture, and acted as a model for her.
This situation is very common in the Stars and Stripes. Many people paint for others, and think that the paintings are good and they can be bought directly. It is also a kind of street artist. Xiao Peng is really not bad for money, nearly three thousand meters of gold in his pocket, and a cheque for one thousand. So the tip is still affordable.
After more than ten minutes passed, the girl put down the sketchbook: "Sir, thank you, you are a great model." After that, she shook hands with Xiao Peng and thanked her.
Xiao Peng looked at the girl. She was so tall, a bit taller than herself. He was a little embarrassed to hear the girl say that Xiao Peng: "Don't call me husband, just call me Xiao Peng, can I take a look? "
The girl smiled and said, "Xiao Peng? A nice name. My name is Emilia. I make you laugh when I paint." After talking, Emilia passed the sketchbook to Xiao Peng. After Xiao Peng took it, slowly Turn it over.
The sketchbook is full of landscapes, and I can see that the girl has a deep background in painting. The lines are very skillful. The paintings are the scenery of various places. Xiao Peng looked through it one by one. Finally, at the last one, he saw himself. Sitting on the reef, staring at the sea, the sea breeze blew over his hair a little messy. , Very vivid, with her signature in the corner.
"Wow, I never thought I was so handsome." Xiao Peng joked as he looked at himself in the painting.
Emilia smiled and said: "You like it." After speaking, I took the sketchbook from Xiao Peng, carefully tore off the page with Xiao Peng, and handed it to Xiao Peng, "I will leave you a copy. Remember it."
Xiao Peng took the portrait with both hands: "How can I thank you for this?"
Emilia shook her head: "It's nothing, it's easy. On the contrary, I also want to thank you. The way you sit here thinking gives me the urge to paint." After speaking, Emilia put the sketchbook in the backpack. . Xiao Peng only noticed that Emilia was also carrying a backpack with a drawing board tied to the outside of the backpack. This is an art lover who came out to sketch.
Emilia picked up her backpack: "Xiao Peng, it's nice to meet you. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."
Xiao Peng was taken aback, why did he leave? Is this different from what I thought? Under the messenger, Xiao Peng directly shouted: "Emilia, please wait a moment."
Emilia stopped: "Anything else?"
Xiao Peng hesitated and said, "That's it. Our friends are eating BBQ here. Are you interested in being together? It's on the beach next to you. Did you see the big truck? Right there. That's my friend. People."
Emilia followed the direction of Xiao Peng's finger and saw Mrs. Martin. Emilia thought for a moment, with a smile on her face: "Well, I will trouble you."
Xiao Peng waved the portrait in his hand and said, "This is to thank you for painting such a good picture for me."
"It seems that I should draw a few more for you, so I won't worry about eating." Emilia laughed.
The two returned to the truck together, and Mrs. Martin said, "Xiao, I just wanted to call you, so you came back. Who is this?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Emilia, a friend I just met. Emilia, let me introduce to you. This is Mrs. Martin, and this is..." Xiao Peng said to everyone. Introduce to Emilia: "They are Taobao people from Idaho."
"Taobao people?" Emilia hadn't heard of such a career, Xiao Peng explained it to her, and Emilia suddenly realized. Mrs. Martin smiled and said, "Is there anything we can say while eating?"
"Of course, I'm almost starving to death." Sean said.
Martin ruthlessly exposed his old bottom: "You let the California red abalone be greedy, right?"
Sean did not deny: "Yes, aren't you greedy?"
"Of course I am not greedy... It's strange! Let us all have a toast first. Today is definitely my happiest day recently. I have money, food, and wine! Oh my god, if every day is like this Life, I am willing to live to be two hundred years old!" Martin raised his glass and shouted.
Let Martin lead the atmosphere, everyone picked up their glasses and drank. Emilia and Mrs. Martin drank the juice and clinked glasses with everyone.
Mrs. Martin held two plates and handed them to Xiao Peng and Emilia respectively: "Try my craftsmanship. Of course, if it doesn't taste good, don't bring it up in front of me. Okay?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Martin, even if it is poison, I will eat it up with nothing left!"
Martin shouted after hearing it, "Xiao, what do you mean? My wife's cooking skills are the best in the world!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Well, to apologize, I will eat more as punishment."
"You want to be beautiful!" everyone said in unison.
The Martins bought a lot of vegetables and beef and prepared them for roasting, but it turns out that buying those things is purely redundant. Just such an abalone has already made these people swollen.
This California red abalone weighs nearly ten pounds! That is nine kilograms of abalone meat, how could six people eat so much?
And Mrs. Martin's baked abalone with cheese! According to his conscience, Xiao Peng was not used to the taste, but seeing the sweetness of the other people, Xiao Peng could only lament the difference in taste.
The Chinese people who eat seafood want the umami taste, but this cheese-baked abalone is eaten in the mouth. The strong cheese flavor coupled with the abalone's own taste makes Xiao Peng always feel weird. However, judging from the expressions and tastes of others, Mrs. Martin's dish is indeed very good.
Mrs. Emilia Martin: "Mrs. Martin, how did you make this dish so delicious? Is there any secret?"
Mrs. Martin smiled and said: "Actually, there are three key secrets: garlic, mozzarella cheese and fire. In fact, this dish is very simple to cook. If you master these three points, everyone will make this dish delicious. of."
Emilia asked: "How do you make this dish? Oh, wait a minute." After talking, Emilia took out her mobile phone to prepare for recording. It seems that she really intends to learn this dish. . Xiao Peng noticed that her mobile phone was the same Huawei as herself.
Mrs. Martin said: "It's actually very simple. After washing the abalone meat, cut the slices of meat to make it easier to taste, then cover the top with garlic, put a little salt to marinate for a while, and finally cover the top with mozzarella cheese. , Wrap the abalone meat and garlic together, and put it in the oven. Of course, the specific heat depends on experience. I am used to let the oven preheat for two times and bake for 20 minutes. See the color of cheese The color changes to adjust the time."
Mrs. Martin spoke earnestly, and Emilia studied carefully, but these topics are obviously not interested in men, men are drinking beer and chatting together.
Sean took a sharp sip of beer: "I really want to thank Xiao Peng today for letting me escape such a big trap. Nick may still be crying while holding his pillow."
Martin nodded and said: "Indeed, I also want to thank Xiao Peng very much. It's been a long time since I was so happy. Watching Nick deflate, I can make money. There is nothing more pleasant than that."
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said modestly: "This is just luck."
"No, this is definitely not luck. Until now, I can’t figure out why you asked me to take this warehouse? Wouldn’t it be possible for you to see through? Besides, I really can’t think of you. Reason. I noticed today that when Sean photographed the warehouse, you gave him a thumbs up. It seems that you are already sure Sean can make money, Xiao, can you tell me how you did it?"
"Then you need to ask? I just know how to see through." Xiao Peng answered the two directly without thinking about it, and the words were amazing.
"Huh?" Martin and the others were dumbfounded now.
