Chapter 678 Family Picnic (Part 2)

"Illusion... This must be an illusion! It doesn't scare me!"

——But you have to admit that there are some things in this world that you just don’t believe in.[]

The hunt lasted two hours, and the time had reached 11:30.

The achievement of Catherine's team is 3 wild ducks.

But these three wild ducks were all shot by Elsa.

"Elsa is so awesome."

Unlike Catherine, Bruce was quite emotional.

"Sister Susan said you are a genius, but I really believe it."

"Actually, this is just luck..." Although Europeans and Americans rarely say modest words, Elsa looked like she was taking care of the feelings of Catherine, who had turned gray.

"Speaking of which, Elsa, don't you want to do something else? At your sister's manor back then, you seemed to have stayed as a maid after graduating early, right?"

Elsa graduated a few years early, but she did not go to college and stayed at the manor.

"Maybe it's because I don't like that... atmosphere. In fact, I feel very happy to be able to stay with Kate."

Bruce looked at his daughter, who was still gray-white, strangely, and could only shrug.

"Anyway, let's go back first."

We returned all the way to the original place, and when we arrived at the hut, the meal was already ready.

Although it is a picnic, there is a long table. This is a wetland. It would be too unclean to put it on the ground.

"It seems that you have quite gained something." Emma was preparing the meal at this time.

"It's okay..." Bruce scratched his head.

Although the results are not huge, they can still make a difference.

"But what should we do with so many wild ducks?"

Emma seemed a little troubled.

"how?"

There's something strange about Bruce.

"Look one by one"

Emma pointed not far away.

Following his wife's finger, Bruce felt his heartbeat speeding up.

"There are 12 wild ducks over there on February 1st, and there are 3 more here, so the total is 15, right? It's summer now. If we take them back, will they be broken this time?"

"Isn't there a refrigerator here?" Lyrella came over strangely.

"We can't expect to take the refrigerator with us." Emma shrugged, "But we can make it with ready-made tools."

"I think what we should take care of most now is our stomach."

After seeing the 12 wild ducks, Catherine could not help but feel a delicate sense of balance in her heart.

The Sacramento Valley is also known as the Central Valley.

The Central Valley is a large geotrough in central California, located between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Coastal Mountains. It is a flat alluvial plain 700km long from north to south and 90km wide from east to west. The 1,500 acres of land owned by the Edson family -

It’s almost 100 hectares—it’s not that big in this river valley.

Most of the runoff in the valley is concentrated in the Sacramento River and the San Joaquin River. The Sacramento River is a river located in central California, United States, originating near Mount Shasta in the Craggs Mountains in Siskiron County in northern California. The Sacramento River

It first flows south and southwest, flowing through the Sacramento Valley where Katherine is now located, and then turns westward after converging with the San Joaquin River, and finally flows into Shusen Bay, the northern branch of San Francisco Bay in the Pacific Ocean.

The Central Valley is a famous agricultural zone in California, with an arable land area of ​​about 4 million hectares. Due to its fertile land, it is the largest fruit production base in the United States and is also rich in cotton, grains, vegetables, etc. The land in Edson is equivalent to this

It's just a fraction of a cent.

However, the area where the Edson family is located is considered an undeveloped virgin land. It is a wetland and has a suitable climate. It is definitely a good place to cultivate one's sentiments.

The average drop in the northern part of the valley for many years is 760mm, while the southern part is only 200-400mm, and some areas are less than 100mm. It is known as a "desert", and water is abundant in the north and scarce in the south. There is 2 cultivated land in the valley

3 is located in the south, while the water resources in the north account for 2% of the entire valley.

3. 70% of the river runoff is generated in the north of the valley, while the water demand in the south of the valley accounts for more than 80% of the total water demand in the entire valley.

river valley 3

The precipitation of 4 meters is mainly concentrated in the winter and spring seasons from December to April of the following year, while the main water demand seasons for agriculture are summer and autumn.

The area where the Edson family belongs is a piece of land in the north. Of course, in this case, the price will naturally be more expensive.

After all, the Edsons own farmable land.

However, both Catherine and Bruce will probably keep this wetland, at least as their own entertainment venue.

Speaking of which, this place is really nice.

There are a total of 19 reservoirs, 8 water transmission and diversion channels, 11 hydropower stations and 9 pumping stations in the Sacramento Valley. But from here, you can't see any of them, except for the road behind you and the small house.

Wanhui is a pure natural land. In such a place, it will give people a very comfortable feeling.

"Well, it would be great if we could build a villa here."

Catherine suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a mountain villa, right?

"Don't think about it, Kate, this is agricultural land."

Dad poured cold water on Catherine without hesitation.

"ah!"

"I've already asked." Dad continued to pour cold water on Catherine.

"Yiyi, don't you have some... money means?" Catherine hated the iron.

Small citizens are really unreliable. Are we now big capitalists?

Since you are a big capitalist, why do you care so much? Just use the silver dollar offensive!

Such a simple truth lies here...Catherine cursed in her heart.

Although there is a small house here, no one can live in this house. It is just for their convenience. It only has two sofas and some basic appliances such as a refrigerator.

Of course, if you are an ordinary person, it is not impossible to build a house casually, but that is not Catherine's pursuit. What she wants is a mountain villa.

It seems that this plan is impossible for the time being.

So, lunch began.

Kane and Lyrella had returned an hour before Catherine and the others, so Emma simply took a wild duck to cook in the simple conditions here.

- In other words, Kane and the others hunted a total of 13 prey...

"This feels really good."

Because the rainy season has just ended, the air here still has a moist feeling. Although it is already a scorching hot weather, in the wetland, this feeling is not too strong, but it is thanks to this moist feeling.

relationship with the air.

"I just don't know why, but the summers in recent years seem to be getting hotter and hotter." Emma complained, "I think this weather will pass soon."

Global warming is a false proposition, and Catherine knows this very well.

If her memory, which has been preserved for more than 20 years, does not deteriorate, the temperature will probably drop soon, and then there will be a new round of rise in the 1980s...

"Maybe, but I really can't stand it without turning on the air conditioner now." Emma continued to sigh.

"This beef tastes really good." Bruce seemed surprised as he ate the sandwich.

The lunches they prepared were all brought from Edson Manor.

"Of course." Catherine boasted shamelessly: "If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be such delicious food in the world.

exist."

This is shameless talk.

"What did you say?" Bruce looked at his daughter strangely.

"This beef was cultivated by me."

Catherine looked proud.

"It's tender and juicy - it's really good." Emma also nodded: "I thought my cooking skills had gotten better..."

"There is indeed a reason for this." Dad lost no time in flattering him.

When Westerners eat meat, they pay great attention to the existence of this "gravy". Basically, it can be said that the more meat juice, the better the taste of the meat.

Because Westerners eat more meat and less vegetables - this can be seen from the Western food that is several times more expensive than pork - it is often difficult for Westerners to get vitamins from vegetables like Easterners.

.

However, there are also vitamins in meat, but when the meat is heated and cooked, most of these vitamins are destroyed.

The steak is cooked medium-rare, medium-rare and medium-rare, not only for the taste, but also for retaining the vitamins in it.

Although Catherine likes to eat hard, well-cooked meat, Catherine never lacks vegetables, which is really different from ordinary Americans in this regard.

The presence of gravy in the meat means that the vitamins in the meat have not been completely destroyed. Many times, Westerners eat steak and mutton chops with gravy, which makes them feel comfortable because they supplement the vitamins they lack.

The whole body is energetic, but if you eat too much well-cooked steak and mutton chops without gravy, you will lack vitamins, and then you will feel uncomfortable and weak. Over time, you will naturally pursue meat with gravy, and regard medium-rare steaks and mutton chops as

Delicious.

But for Catherine, who came from China in her previous life, vegetables and the like were all trash, while raw meat made people feel uncomfortable.

The concepts are different, so the food we eat is also different.

The firm and mature beef is proof.

Speaking of which, pork in the West is relatively "cheap", and it is also for this reason - because the pork must be cooked well and have less juice, otherwise it is easy to get diarrhea and illness, so in many cases, pork is regarded as inferior and cheap meat.

.

Since it is the lowest-quality meat, let’s add some clenbuterol. It is also food for lower-class people, so there is no pressure at all...

"But having said that, I remember "Everyday Food"...oh, in "Wild Survival", there was a season that told this story. How should we survive when we live in the wetland..."

Emma has obviously become a fan of "Into the Wild".

Catherine smiled, her new discover

Discovery Channel is quite successful...
