The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

Lunch was very simple, with BBQ sandwiches made in advance by Aunt Molly, and old Tiago and his wife brought the Mexican specialty roselle tea. Roselle has a more beautiful name in Seris, called Roselle.

The cooked hibiscus tea soup has a beautiful ruby-like color. Almost all Mexican families make a large pot of it every day. The taste is okay, not as good as last night's lavender tea, but it's not bad.

In any case, the Dr. Pepper that Walker and the others were drinking was much stronger than it. Walker threw a bottle to him when he was working just now, and Jack almost squirted out of his mouth.

This thing reminded him of the cherry-flavored Coke he drank before, and it also had the taste of safflower oil. It was even more unpleasant to drink. It was comparable to the Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water in his previous life. If he hadn't looked at it, Several Texas men, old and young, drank with gusto, and Jack almost thought he was being tricked.

After lunch, the ladies retreated first. They went back to take a shower and then went shopping in the city in the afternoon, while the men continued to work.

There was an interlude in the middle. Aunt Molly originally didn't want to go and planned to spend the afternoon preparing dinner for the family. In the end, Hannah assured her that Jack could handle everything, and she nodded hesitantly in agreement.

Jack guessed that it was probably seeing that he had made a long list of spices to buy and handed it to Hannah that was what really convinced her.

After lunch, everyone only rested for a while before continuing to work. Jack spliced ​​the wooden beams into a frame, nailed the planks, and climbed up to the roof with the Walker brothers. Bonham directed from below, and soon the damaged roof was Lining repaired.

Then the brothers laid a waterproof layer outside, while Jack patched the insulation cotton in the wooden frame inside. The last step was the most tiring and patient work. The cement tiles were hoisted to the roof one by one and laid layer by layer. They continued to work until It was all finished at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Oh, I thought I would have to work until tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be done so early today."

Bonham was obviously tired and leaned against the pickup truck with some difficulty. Auggie stepped forward to support him with concern.

"Are you okay, old guy? You've been in poor health lately. Do you want to go to Austin for a checkup?" Walker suggested as he packed his things.

Bonham waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just that I'm older, but I had a rare good sleep yesterday. I felt great when I woke up in the morning. If this state keeps up, maybe I can go to Shuangfeng with you again. There’s beer in the restaurant.”

"Oh, come on, don't say that in front of Auggie." Walker waved his hand down a few times with a look of disgust on his face.

Auggie protested: "I'm 13 years old. Stella had been there a long time ago when she was my age, and Liam took her there."

"Hey, brat, you're dead. Don't think about me taking you to play in the future."

The betrayed Liam was pushed to the ground by Walker before he finished speaking, and the two brothers started fighting again.

"Stop, Emily was there at the time. Ouch, you bastard hit too hard." Liam screamed.

Jack looked at the two old boys with envy, "The relationship between your families is so enviable."

"You can also treat us as family. Auggie and Stella are almost adults. We haven't heard Baby crying here for too long. You and Hannah should come back and settle down as soon as possible." Bonham said in his tone. With a hint of sentimentality, his eyes revealed the unique cunning of the elderly.

Jack was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be forced to get married in the beautiful country in this life, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable kindness in his heart.

"Maybe I should come back more often with Hannah. Texans have given me a new appreciation for this country."

"You sound like a foreigner, haha. It's still early. Boys, how about we go catch catfish in the lake?"

The men of the Walker family immediately cheered, and Jack was also very curious. He had seen a lot of online videos in his previous life, but he had never seen it in real life. Although the teeth of the catfish were not sharp, if they were caught with bare hands like the ones he saw online in his previous life, Fish are still very dangerous.

Fortunately, Texas is not in the Great Lakes region, so heavy metal pollution here is not serious. We have not heard of any large-scale chemical leaks like the one that occurred in Ohio in the previous life.

Whether it's catfish or any other freshwater fish, as long as it's not scavenger or alligator gar, Jack has a thousand ways to turn them into something Americans like to eat.

But before going to catch fish, he set his sights on the chicken coop on the farm. Old Tiago raised dozens of barred Rock chickens on the farm, which are the common reed chickens in rural Seris. The key is that they are free-range.

This thing is rare to find in Meili Supermarket, not to mention that there are several adult roosters among them.

Jack asked old Tiago to help kill two little roosters and wait for him to come back to deal with them. Then the group of people drove roaring towards a nearby small lake.

It is said that this is a lake. In fact, strictly speaking, it should be a small wetland formed at the bend of a small river. There is a huge ancient cypress growing by the river, and the huge aerial roots form a small ecosystem beside the lake.

Catfish like to hide in mud holes among aerial roots. Walker and Liam took off their clothes, wearing only a pair of large underpants and thick rubber gloves, and jumped into the water and started digging holes to lure catfish.

Bonham leisurely started baiting and fishing not far away, and within half an hour he had caught something. It looked quite big, so the old man started to slide the rod leisurely.

Jack and Auggie, who were watching the excitement on the sidelines, suddenly became excited. They moved one to the left and the other to grab the net, nervously staring at the lake that splashed with water from time to time.

In the end, a nearly 20-pound striped bass was brought ashore at the expense of Jack's wetness. The old man couldn't open his mouth with joy and thanked him for the good luck that he, a novice, had brought to him.

On the other side, Walker and Liam also followed suit. The two brothers worked together to catch a catfish of more than 30 pounds. Before five o'clock, the group returned home with two big fish.

Back at Hannah's small farm, several ladies happened to return, and Hannah bought back a large bag of seasonings from the Asian supermarket.

Jack used the excess cement tiles from today's roof repairs to build two simple stoves, and then began to perform while the people around him were stunned.

Pour two prepared reed chickens with sugar syrup, fry them in oil until golden brown, then throw them into a large pot and simmer over low heat. The seasonings are not complete, but Jack used Western spices such as rosemary instead. I had Texas Braised Chicken. Although he was the only one who could understand this joke, he still enjoyed it.

Only half of the 30-pound catfish was cut into thick fillets. It was briefly marinated and put in the oil pan. Finally, it was made with German sauerkraut, jalapenos, and white pepper. Weird Western style boiled fish.

In the end, Jack put on a show. The 18-pound striped bass was forcibly turned into a complete squirrel bass. Aunt Molly had to drive home and dig through the attic for a long time before she found a fish that could hold it completely. A big plate of this fish.

I don’t know if you like this style of daily content. If you think it’s watery, I’ll reduce this aspect of the plot in the future.
