Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of my manor!

Americans, or Westerners to be exact, are horribly obsessed with food stalls.

Of course, more than a quarter of the people who set up food stalls in the United States actually have their own jobs. They set up food stalls not to make money, but just to have fun and pass the time.

There are many delicious food trucks in the United States. Their stall owners are all lawyers or civil servants. While they have stable jobs, they are not short of money. It can be said that they are not short of money at all. And among them So I set up a food stall, firstly, to kill time because I like cooking, and secondly, to satisfy my own vanity.

However, what Americans have studied is that there is no free lunch in the world, so no matter what the food stalls are, they will sell them for money, and almost 80% of the food stalls have to pay taxes and are regulated by the government. protected.

Not only are Western stall owners so awesome, but so are Western media. For example, Boston and New York will rank this year's food stalls in highly credible magazines every year, and even Michelin will give stars to food stalls. class.

Those high-end food stalls are even more difficult to get a seat than those Western restaurants. Of course, the prices are very affordable.

The same goes for the people here in Winthrop. Although there are not such high-end food stalls, to be honest, the taste is good.

Because of the increasing number of tourists, there are also many food stalls in Winthrop. Some are opened by restaurant apprentices, some are opened by housewives, and some are opened by fishermen, but no matter Anyone who opens one must register with the town government and pay taxes. Winthrop is small, so naturally there is no one who can open one without paying taxes.

There are even some Chinese in Winthrop who come to open snack bars and sell dumplings and so on, which have attracted quite a lot of attention.

Of course, there were even more food stalls today. When Jiang Hai and the others walked into the area of ​​food stalls, they could see at a glance that there must be at least thirty food stalls, some of which were pushcarts, and some of which were converted from old cars. , there are even broken boats, there are all kinds of shops, almost no shops are exactly the same, and at a glance, there are all kinds of food.

After all, Winthrop has been entertaining tourists for a while, so they already have a rough idea of ​​the tourists' tastes and choices. Jiang Hai also has some understanding of this. At a glance, these thirty or so stalls mainly sell food. There are eight kinds of food.

The first is tortillas, which basically sell the Mexican kind. Of course, the sellers include blacks and whites, not just Mexicans. The second is barbecue. There are many Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States. First, because of the People are very rich, and secondly, because there has been a lot of war there, it is really not a very suitable place to live, so there are a lot of Arabic barbecues here, including beef, mutton, and chicken, but you can't eat pork here.

The third is that some Indian dishes, such as flying pancakes and meat rolls, taste good. In restaurants like this, when you order, the owner will ask you whether to add spicy or not, so be sure to pay attention. , if you just generally can eat spicy food, don’t say YES, just say a little bit, because Indian chili peppers are indeed quite awesome.

Fourth, there are some South American-style things, such as Jamaican love to marinate meat and so on. It tastes quite good when fried or grilled. It is a delicacy that people who like to eat meat must not miss.

Five is American fast food, sandwiches or hot dogs. I have to admit that these things taste quite good and the portions are huge. If you eat an authentic hot dog in China, such as Subway or something, it will cost more than forty. Yuan, because in China they are basically cut in half and sold, but here in the United States they are sold whole, with large pieces of turkey, cheese, hot dog sausage, butter, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, etc., etc., including vegetables. , there is also meat, all kinds, everything, plus ketchup, salad dressing, etc., when put together, it may be larger than a whole dish in China, and the price is basically about three US dollars. , it has to be said that it has added ingredients, and the average one may only cost about two US dollars.

The sixth is egg tarts, cakes and the like. These things are not only popular in China, but also in the United States and the Western world. Some small cakes are both delicious and very hungry. By the way, they sell some puffs and the like, which are quite good. .

Seventh, there are some seafood stalls. It is said that you eat from the mountains and eat from the sea. Winthrop is located on the seaside, so there is naturally a lot of seafood, and the fishermen are good at making seafood, such as grilled oysters and scallops. , there are also some fish, shrimps, etc., which taste very good while ensuring absolute freshness.

Eight is dumplings. Yes, they are dumplings that Chinese people eat. However, in China, dumplings are usually eaten in stores or at home, but in the United States, they are an out-and-out snack. There are many Americans all like this kind of food, and there are not many people in China who don’t like dumplings. Therefore, although this snack has not been around in Winthrop for a long time, it is very popular. Jiang Hai saw it at a glance In the past, I saw a lot of people in front of many stalls.

Because the people here make good quality food. Although the taste is a little different, at least it won't fool people.

Therefore, there are many customers waiting in front of each stall, some are locals, and most are tourists.

Regardless of whether they are locals or just tourists, Jiang Hai roughly knows where these people come from based on what type of food stall they gather in front of. For example, those in front of the barbecue stall may be from the north, because There is a saying in Jiang Hai's hometown that there is nothing that cannot be solved by one barbecue. If there is, then two.

The people in front of some cake stalls should be tourists from the south, but of course it’s not so absolute.

If it comes before Indian and Mexican food, there should be more tourists from Hunan and Sichuan provinces, because this food is also very spicy.

Of course, the above are all Jiang Hai's own thoughts. If you really look at them seriously, you will lose.

Just as Jiang Hai was watching the excitement and preparing to pick something to eat, he found two familiar figures in front of a stall.

It was a booth with four people, one man and three women. One of the men was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. He was a typical white man with a stubble beard and a big belly, but The work at hand is not slow. He is a seafood stall. The huge oysters are opened by him skillfully, and then placed on the electric stove in front of him, roasting them continuously. There is an iron plate on the other side, and an A middle-aged woman was roasting garlic there, and two young women were doing it.

Jiang Hai didn't know the middle-aged couple, but Jiang Hai was very familiar with the two young women, Sandy Clive and Kama Clive. It goes without saying that he knew who those two people were. Yes, their parents.

At this time, some people had gathered in front of the stall unknowingly, but there were not many people, because roasting oysters is very time-consuming, and they are usually roasted before being sold, so there are very few people watching here. Greedy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hai took the initiative to walk over. Seeing Jiang Hai walking over, Kama-Clive couldn't help but waved his hand happily, and then motioned for Jiang Hai to come over and sit down. Jiang Hai also came over and sat there. , Sandy Clive looked to the side.

"Hi, I saw you just now. You really have the temperament of a leader!" Looking at Jiang Hai, Kama-Clive said with a smile. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai was a little uncomfortable. Sorry, I touched my nose slightly embarrassed.

"Haha, this is your stall?" In order to ease the embarrassment, Jiang Hai glanced at the seafood displayed there and asked with some confusion. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Kama Clive here also laughed. Then he started talking.

"Of course, ours is the best stall in Winthrop, no, in Boston." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Kama-Clive said with a proud face. After hearing what she said, then The three people beside him couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, don't brag yourself there. You say Winthrop is the best. I still have confidence. I don't dare to do it in Boston. Hello, Jiang, I know you. Come on, what do you want to eat?" The big fat man came over, smiled at Jiang Hai and said, whether it was because of Jiang Hai's status in Winthrop, or because Jiang Hai almost got together with Sandy Clive, he knew Jiang Hai very well.

Jiang Hai also knew something about him. Although the two had never met, they had been close friends for a long time.

"I'm not sure..." After hearing his words, Jiang Hai also looked at the menu over there and said with some doubts.

"What we sell here are basically grilled shellfish, mainly oysters and barnacles." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Santi Clive's father pointed to the distance and used The soaked seafood said to Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai took a look and was a little at a loss because he really didn't know what those things were.

"You are a fishery owner, don't you know these things?" Looking at Jiang Hai's confused look, Sandy Clive's father couldn't help but smile. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai shrugged. He shrugged, he really didn't know.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Seeing Jiang Hai express that he didn't know, Sandy Clive's father also stood up with a smile. At this time, the electric oven in front of him was almost full. Ordered oysters, so he has some time now.

Jiang Hai has always been interested in seafood, so he also took the initiative to join in.

Just like Sandy Clive's father said, as a seafood seller, it would be ugly if he couldn't recognize all the characters. (To be continued.)
