Chapter 1546: Town Sheriff

As soon as Xiao Peng held the gun in his hand, he heard the sound of the engine, coming from the forest road. Before long, an old Chevrolet pickup appeared in front of Xiao Peng and the two people. There was only a white old man in the cab of the car. Uh, it seemed a bit redundant. After leaving Anchorage, Xiao Peng just left Anchorage. Never seen a black man.
Seeing Xiao Peng holding a gun in his hand, he put his hands in front of Xiao Peng in the car, signaled that he had no weapons, and got out of the car.
"Young man, don't be so nervous!" He pointed to the shield mark on the shoulder of his clothes: "I am the Sheriff of Reddive. Just now I saw a plane landing in the sky, so I chased it."
Xiao Peng looked at the mark on his shoulder, it was indeed the mark of the sheriff. But he was still worried: "What happened to the gunshot just now?"
After hearing this, the white man smiled and pointed to the back seat of the pickup truck and said, "I was knocked down by a shot just now when I came across such a thing."
Xiao Peng looked at his neck and saw, um, it was a Yukon wolf, which is the Alaska inland wolf. This is the largest surviving wolf in North America, second only to the North American white wolf raised by Xiao Peng, about two meters from nose to tail. Length, this kind of wolf is still very common in Alaska.
"Introduce myself, my name is Jones, Indiana Jones. You can call me Officer Jones or Indiana." The white sheriff showed a kind smile.
But Xiao Peng raised the gun again: "What are you kidding me? Do you think I haven't seen a movie?"
Officer Jones smiled bitterly: "I can't really blame me. The year I was born, "Indiana Jones" was released. My father loved that movie so much that he gave me such a ghost name. Okay, Almost everyone who sees me has to complain about my name, but God is up, I really call this name."
"Pouch." Xiao Peng smiled, but also put down the gun.
"Wait, you were born in 1981?" Xiao Peng looked at Officer Jones. Are you sure you were not born in 1951?
Officer Jones looked in the mirror of the car: "Well, the environment here is bad, and the people are a bit old. But I was born in 1981. You can put down that gun, right? Misfire is not fun. Thing."
Xiao Peng shrugged and put the gun back on the holster fixed to the wing.
After Police Officer Jones walked over, his eyes were fixed on the grilled fish on the stone slab: "This is the first time I have seen such a magical way of cooking..."
"Have you eaten? Let's have some together?" Xiao Peng said to Officer Jones. This coho salmon weighs seven or eight catties, and Xiao Peng can't eat so much.
"I can't ask for it!" That was what Police Officer Jones was waiting for. Xiao Peng used Ulu to slice him a piece of fish and put it on a plate, sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper and hand it to him, and at the same time gave him a little custard custard .
It is very interesting to talk with Alaskans. In a star-and-stripe country, the friendliest and most trustworthy may be the Alaskans. They have lived in this sparsely populated place for a long time. Despite the cold weather here, they have the hottest and warmest hearts.
This Alaska really has people everywhere, such as Indians, Inuit, descendants of Germany, descendants of Norway, descendants of Ireland, descendants of Britain, descendants of Norway, descendants of the bear country. . . . . . In comparison, there are really not many people who come from Star-Stripe Nation, accounting for only a small proportion, and the proportion of blacks here is almost scarce, and even not as large as the Asian population here.
So many immigrants live here, so there is no racial discrimination, and there are too few people here. They all need mutual help to live on.
but! but! but! The important thing is said three times.
As the so-called poor mountains and remote areas, the highest crime rate among all the states in the Star Stripe Nation is Alaska. Perhaps because of the cold weather, the people here are very hot-tempered and belong to the type of'can do it without talking'. .
Do you get along well with them? They are your best friends, if you challenge them? Come on, do it again.
Just look at this Officer Jones, and when he sees there are planes in the sky, he happily come over and have a look-enthusiastic enough? I saw a Yukon wolf on the road and killed it with one shot-----hot enough, right?
But now, no matter how hot Officer Jones was, he didn't blame Xiao Peng for shooting a gun at him.
"This is delicious too! For the first time I think migratory salmon can be so delicious." Officer Jones gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Peng looked dissatisfied and said, "In fact, there are a lot of seasonings. If you add some oyster sauce and the like, it will taste better... I'm going, you can eat too much, right?"
Xiao Peng thought at first that the three of the fish couldn't eat it, but Jones was eating at the same speed as the wolf cub.
Officer Jones pointed to the fishing waterwheel not far away: "There is still there, take it whatever you want."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I got it from there, but don't worry, I put the money there."
"What do you put money for, isn't it just a fish? That is the fishing waterwheel I set up by myself. I will go get another one. I don't know if there is a king salmon today." Officer Jones said.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Take coho salmon, this method is the best coho salmon."
Jones beckoned and returned with a coho salmon: "You are also really weird. If there are delicious king salmon, you don't eat coho salmon."
Xiao Peng processed the salmon there. Hearing Jones’ words, he said,
Every ingredient has a cooking method suitable for it. If a food is not tasty, it can only mean that no suitable cooking method has been found. Coho salmon uses this The slate barbecue method tastes the most beautiful, much better than king salmon and sockeye salmon...but you, isn't it the sheriff here? How can you still fish?"
Jones watched Xiao Peng put the fish roe in the light salt water, and answered Xiao Peng’s question: "There is always some way to make money, right? I have two children to raise. It is not enough to rely on the sheriff’s salary. of."
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up: "You are a good father, so what about the income from selling fish?"
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know it. After saying it, Officer Jones was annoyed:
Don’t mention it. We are migratory salmon here. Fish meat is not easy to sell. They are eaten by themselves, while fish roe is sold. It’s not bad. I’m not telling you. Our original fish roe is sold to Las Vegas, but I don’t know what happened. Many high-end hotels over there stopped our supply, even if we continue to demand the supply price. It’s 30% lower than before, which is not enough for production and transportation costs."
Xiao Peng was a little embarrassed when he heard that, because the fish roe supply in Las Vegas was all done by Di Wei, this is stealing people's jobs!
Officer Jones pointed to the river and said, "It turned out that there would be more than a dozen fishing waterwheels erected along the coast here, but now it's just me, and I'm preparing food for everyone."
"Prepare food for everyone?" Xiao Peng was a little puzzled after hearing this. When I was flying in the sky, I didn't see many buildings here.
Jones said: "Oh, we are a small place here, so there are not many people. There are twenty-five people in the whole town. Oh no, twenty-six people. There is another child in Homill’s family. Now in Aniak. Where's the hospital."
Xiao Peng covered his face, still a small place? The navigation information shows that this Reddive also has to look like a square kilometer! That's also much larger than the imperial capital Dongcheng District, and in the end there were only 26 people?
Very good, this is Alaska.
Jones looked at the grilled fish on the slate: "Is this edible?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "We have to wait a while."
Jones stood up and said, "I should really let my wife come and learn too. With such a simple method, the fish can be made so delicious."
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "I don't know where your wife is?"
Jones pointed in a direction: "It's in the mine."
"On the mine?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Jones nodded: "Yes, we have to live too. We all know that there is a wealth of gold reserves on the Yukon River. In fact, there is gold here on the Cascoquin River. This is the main means of life for us here. All the families in our town have raised funds to set up a mining company. Every summer, they pan for gold--you can't pan for gold in other seasons, right? Now all the mines except the elderly and children."
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you pan for gold there?"
Jones pointed to the fishing waterwheel and said, "Someone has to prepare the logistics work, right? Besides, when I see your plane, of course I have to take a look. Why, do you want to go to the mine?"
Xiao Peng was taken aback after hearing this: "Can we go and see it?"
Jones nodded: "Of course, I also want you to teach my wife how to make fish... Damn it." He looked at Xiao Peng's plane: "How do you use tundra tires that are not floating floats? How about this? take off?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the road where Jones drove and said, "I plan to push the plane through the road from you to a straight road."
Jones laughed after hearing this: "Wow, pushing from here is a big project. Would you mind doing me a favor?"
Xiao Peng was puzzled, but Jones returned to the trunk of his car, took out a few plastic boxes from it, and went to the fishing waterwheel to put all the fish caught in the plastic boxes. After putting it back in the trunk of the pickup truck, he took out the iron chain from the car and tied Xiao Peng's small plane: "Let's go, I will drive you over! Let you see us all."
After speaking, he still didn't forget to load the grilled fish, and then stretched out his hand to move the slate of the grilled fish.
Fortunately, Xiao Peng stopped him, or his hand would definitely turn into a bear's paw.
"Is there no slate over there? Just find one over there?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Jones shook his head: "You'll know when you get there, but believe me, it's really hard to find such a big slab over there."
Yes, since he said so, what else can Xiao Peng say? Finding two rags to pad them, and then putting the slate on the trunk, Jones drove the small plane on the road.
