Chapter 777: Food of the Amish family

"Neil, who is this? Looks very embarrassed." Someone Neil asked.
Neil smiled and replied: "Denzel, this is the Chinese person who helped me fix the wheel last time I said."
After listening to Neil's words, everyone looked at Xiao Peng's eyes not right. Amish people work by hand in their lives, and they admire people with good handwork.
Denzel turned closer to Xiao Peng's expression: "God, you are the skilled craftsman from China? Your skill in repairing that wheel is amazing. You must teach us how to do it this time. You can make such a strong wheel without any nails. Your handwork is too good. I thought you could be very old. I didn't expect you to be so young."
Everyone held the sedan chair, and Xiao Peng humbled and said: "Well, let’s say that. I have time later. I will teach you this kind of woodworking method of mortise and tenon structure. As long as you master the theory, you can apply it in all aspects in the future. What? Furniture and the like can use this mortise and tenon structure, which does not require nails to be strong."
Denzel hurriedly said: "Then thank you so much."
Neil smiled and said, "Denzel, let's talk about it later, you see, what Xiao needs now is clean bath water and good food. Let's talk about it later, okay?"
Denzel nodded: "I still have some homemade cheese and fresh spinach, and I will deliver it to you later."
"Okay, thank you then." Neil thanked.
Xiao Peng followed to Neal's house, a beautiful cabin: "Anas, Barbara, who are you going to see soon?" Neil yelled before entering the house.
Anas was washing clothes on the grass at the door. Hearing Neil's call, he raised his head and saw Xiao Peng's appearance: "Oh, Xiao, why are you so embarrassed?"
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "A word is hard to say. I dare not look in the mirror anymore. Everyone I see today asks me that. Neil's first sentence when he sees me is this..."
He really doesn't know how to explain, can't you say that he was buried in sand for a month?
Neil said: "Anas, Xiao encountered the sandstorm, it would be nice to be able to come back alive, where's Barbara?"
"Oh, God, Xiao, you are a man with a big life, and a good person is rewarded! You can survive such a sandstorm, God bless you! Neil, Barbara and friends went to play. For a while. I'm back." Anas replied.
Xiao Peng asked, "Neil, do you have the latest newspaper?" He wanted to know what happened recently. There is no TV on the Amish side, so I can only ask if they have a newspaper.
Neil shrugged, "Uh, the last time our community had a newspaper was a year ago."
Anas smiled and said, "Xiao, I think you need a hot bath more now."
Neil also nodded: "Anas is right. After you take a shower, delicious food will be waiting for you."
Xiao Peng looked at the sand on his body: "Well, Anas, what you said is too correct." Xiao Peng is much better now than when he first crawled out of the sandpit. He didn't know how. Now, there is a layer of black mud! Stinky. Xiao Peng took the hot sand from the desert and took a sand bath to get rid of the black things, but the result was that he became a soil monkey.
Neil said, "I'm going to boil some hot water."
Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I can take a cold bath."
Neil took out a big bucket and ran to the well to fetch water. This Amish life is truly a primitive ecology.
Xiao Peng carried the bucket and poured the water into a wooden bathtub. After receiving the water a few times, Xiao Peng ran into the water comfortably. I have to say that he was still comfortable in the water. Xiao Peng felt that every cell in his body was rejuvenated. Seeing the dirty look of'Xiao Mi', I just threw him into the bath tub and had a good meal, uh, when Xiao Peng and Xiaomi took a bath, the water in the bath tub was full of yellow mud soup. .
But from a bathroom, you can also see the saving spirit of the Amish people. There is a water channel that leads the bath water directly to the lawn outside the door. The bath water can be used to water the ground and water the flowers, which is really saving enough.
After Xiao Peng was washed, he really had a hearty meal waiting for him. The clothes Xiao Peng changed were also washed by Anas. In fact, Xiao Peng wanted to say that the clothes were no longer needed, but the Amish people absolutely refused to waste it. Xiao Peng could only thank Anas for his kindness.
To be honest, the food of the Amish really doesn't taste like Xiao Peng. It's a light, but almost all are vegetarian. On the contrary, the original wheat bread tastes very good. It does not contain any preservatives and additives. It is very sweet.
"Don't Amish people eat meat?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Neil shook his head: "We also eat meat. But you know, we don't have a way to store fresh meat for a long time, only air-dried beef. Anas is processing it for you, please wait a moment."
Xiao Peng nodded hurriedly: "The dried beef is good, but it is called the'Genghis Khan's ration'. I often eat it when I am in my hometown." Xiao Peng is really hungry, but as a carnivorous animal, there is no meat to eat. It feels weird.
In the era of Genghis Khan, when the 100,000 Mongolian army was blood-washed in Europe, they often packed air-dried beef in calf skins and carried them on the horse. Because of its small size, rich nutrition and not easy to spoil, air-dried beef was also known as the ration of Genghis Khan '.
Anas brought a plate of shredded beef: "Xiao, how do you taste it?"
Xiao Peng saw that the air-dried beef had been heated and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Xiao Peng tasted it. The taste was really good. "Well, it tastes really good, how is this done?"
Anas said: "Our method is to roast the beef and put it in the shady room to dry naturally. Every year in the community, the cattle will be killed and eat like this. How do you do it in China?"
"Uh, in fact, the method is quite different, but our Chinese Tibetan air-dried beef is very distinctive. Every autumn, we cut the beef into strips, sprinkle it with salt, pepper powder, chili powder, and powder, and hang it in a cool and airy place. It can be dried naturally. But this method is most suitable for the high-cold areas of Tibet. It doesn't taste like that when cooked in other places." Xiao Peng explained that the heated air-dried beef always feels weird to eat. . . . . .
Xiao Peng took a bite of the bread and asked the question he cared most: "Neil, has anything new happened this month?"
Neil looked embarrassed: "Xiao, you really asked the wrong person. We Amish don't care about things outside. If we say that the only thing that makes us feel strange is that we don't know what's wrong recently, 60 Route 6 is particularly crowded. There are probably more people traveling on Route 66 this time than in the previous ten years combined."
"Ah? Why is this?" Xiao Peng puzzled.
Neil shrugged: "I don't know, but someone came to our community in two or three days, and it's fine. They just looked around and turned around. There are so many people like this. People in our community are also confused. Confused. They didn't steal things, didn't visit, just walked around. I don't understand why they did it."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Maybe you are curious about your Amish culture." He didn't take this matter to heart. Neil said that it was a tourist and not a policeman. It seems that things can only be inquired after going out, Ami Xuren is not just free from the world, it is simply out of the world.
Xiao Mi was eating dried beef, while Xiao Peng ate it. Neil and the couple who ate were dumbfounded: "Xiao, have you not eaten for a month?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, I haven't eaten well in a month." Xiao Peng didn't lie. He didn't know how he came here this month. After eating all the grains of Neil's house, Xiao Peng took a picture. Pat belly: "Well, I'm 80% full."
This made Neil and his wife only take a cold breath.
Xiao Peng took out his own tactical axe from his backpack: "Neil, let's go. I can't stay with you any more. I promised to do good things. Please help me contact people in your community. I teach How to do woodwork for them."
Neil was taken aback: "Xiao, why are you so anxious? Let's take a rest and rest."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "After all, I have been in the desert for a month. Many friends are also worried about me, aren't they?"
Neil nodded: "That's what you said. After all, you must have many friends worrying about you. Then you have to teach us carpentry, which will waste your time too much. Otherwise, let's talk about it in the future?"
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "In ancient China, Confucius once said:'People don't have faith, and they don't know what is possible. There are no carts, and no carts. How can they behave?' Can't survive. This is the basic morality of our Huaxia people."
Neil admired: "I have a more and more favorable impression of you Chinese people. Okay, then we don't waste time, I will organize everyone now. You wait for me here." After that, I ran out and went out. Xiao Peng chatted with Anas, uh, actually there was nothing to chat about, and talked about the crops, the weather, that was an embarrassment, how simple are you Amish? Just let your wife be with other men like this, you are really relieved!
Not long after, Neil ran back: "Xiao, let's go, everyone is waiting for you."
Xiao Peng nodded, and followed Neil to a larger building.
"Is this your church?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Neil replied: "Although we usually pray here, this is really not a church. We Amish don't have a special church."
Xiao Peng nodded and was startled when he entered the door, why are there so many people?
Neil smiled and said: "We Amish people make everything with our own hands, so we are very interested in your handwork with this mortise and tenon structure.
Denzel saw Xiao Peng walk in and raised his hands to greet him happily: "Xiao, we have all been waiting for a long time." After speaking, all the people raised their hands, each holding an axe.
This shocked Xiao Peng. Damn, is this the reincarnation of the Axe Gang?
