Chapter 622: The Agreement with the Imp
Genius remembers in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"After all, your manor is too far away from the town. It is estimated that the children will not go there, but if you want to feel the festive atmosphere, then prepare more. I know you are not short of money anyway." After explaining the origin of Halloween to Jiang Hai, Sandy Clive smiled and picked up the things. There were a lot of things that needed to be prepared for Halloween.
In addition to candies, there are also some other things, such as toffee apples, which were often given away in the past because it was approaching Halloween, which is now the time when apples are harvested. .
Then people will put the apples on bamboo skewers, twist them in toffee syrup, and then go to Okhotsk to add some nuts and the like.
Some are like the Chinese candied haws. According to Sandy Clive, when she was a child, every household would give children toffee apples, but I don’t know when it started. Some adults were very bad.
But if you put needles and blades into apples, children may accidentally scratch or prick themselves when eating.
Americans take great care of themselves. Just like a few decades ago, they said that freshwater was polluted and freshwater fish could not be eaten.
As a result, no one eats freshwater fish until now. As for the spine, it is only something found in Asian carp. Many freshwater fish have one spine, just like seafood, but they still don’t eat it. It’s precisely because the United States People are careful, so they no longer give toffee apples during the holidays. The second is pumpkin pie. Americans especially like to eat pie.
This food originating from eastern Europe is quite popular in the streets of the United States.
Almost all American fast food restaurants have this thing, but to be honest, Jiang Hai doesn't like eating it very much.
In his opinion, this kind of dessert is too sweet and the taste is very greasy. It is better to eat cake than eat this thing.
There are pumpkins grown in Jiang Hai's manor, and they are quite big, so making pies has nothing to do with Jiang Hai.
He comes here mainly to buy candies and lights. Jiang Hai is a typical Sagittarius. When buying things, if you directly ask him to spend a lot of money to buy things, he will be reluctant to part with it, but if you let him know, This thing is a good deal. If it is cheap, he will buy a lot of it regardless of whether it is useful or not.
On Halloween, candies were on sale, so Jiang Hai didn't go to the housekeeper to see if anyone was eating them. Looking at the candies in front of him, Jiang Hai also grabbed them with his big hands and gave them to Jiang Hai at Sandy Clive. In the short time that Hai was looking for jack-o'-lanterns, Jiang Hai had already caught dozens of kilograms of candy, and the most important thing was that what he caught was the best.
"Oh my god, are you going to open a candy store?" Looking at the several baskets of candies already placed over there, Sandy Clive slapped her forehead, and then said helplessly, although she knew that Jiang Hai was not bad. Money, but it’s such a waste.
"Haha, it's okay. It happens to be cheap now. Can people in the manor eat it after buying it? And the production date is very close." Looking at so many candies unknowingly placed in front of him, Jiang Hai felt a little uncomfortable. He said politely.
The candies that Jiang Hai packed are all excellent things. The chocolates are all made of Ferrero Rocher and M&Me. The scientific name of this toy should be M&me, with sugar on the outside and chocolate on the inside. Jiang Hai remembers that when he was in junior high school, there were A classmate likes to eat this very much, but later the relationship became tense. This kind of chocolate comes from the United States, it tastes good, and it is very popular with children.
Because the colorful ones are very beautiful, and there are many other candies and the like. When Jiang Hai buys things, he naturally only buys expensive ones, as long as they are delicious, and the others don’t matter. Although now he also feels that there are Some bought too much.
But just buy as much as you want, and he won't care. Looking at Jiang Hai's appearance, Sandy Clive couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is so casual. These candies must have cost dozens of dollars. Sure enough, when I checked out, these candies cost a total of seventy dollars. Converted into soft girl coins, this is more than four hundred dollars, plus pumpkins. Lamps and the like cost about a hundred dollars in total.
But Jiang Hai didn't care about this and left the store directly carrying the candies and pumpkin lanterns.
"Wow, there are so many delicious candies, uncle, are you preparing this for Halloween?" But just as he took out the candies, a group of children wearing masks ran past on the street. This commercial street is closed to vehicles. Entry and loading are all from the street at the back door of the store, so you can hardly see even bicycles on this commercial street.
Precisely because there are no cars, it is also a place where adults can let their children have fun, even though there are many foreigners here.
One of the sharp-eyed children saw the candies Jiang Hai proposed at a glance, and couldn't help but take off the Iron Man mask on his face. Iron Man? Well, Jiang Hai didn't understand why it was Iron Man, but the child still looked at Jiang Hai in surprise.
"Yes, you are welcome to be our guest then." Jiang Hai also smiled when he heard the child's words.
"There are so many delicious foods, we will definitely go, but uncle, where is your home?" When the children heard that these candies were really prepared for Halloween, they couldn't help but get excited, and their eyes sparkled. Said to Jiang Hai.
"My home is at the end of that road, Tenglong Manor." Jiang Hai pointed to the road out of the village and said with a smile.
"Tenglong Manor?" However, after hearing Jiang Hai's words, the child here looked at Jiang Hai in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't know much about this manor. Jiang Hai was still very mysterious in this small town.
"I know, I know, it's the largest manor here. My dad went to get the replaced parts." At this time, another black child stood up, raised his hands, and said loudly.
"Pull the parts? What do you mean?" Upon hearing the child's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but wonder, what does it mean to pull the parts?
"I really doubt you run a farm. There are basically fully automatic machines in your manor. Machines always break down. Of course, the broken parts need to be replaced with new ones, but replacing them The rusty parts that came off were thrown away without permission from the state. Besides, they are made of iron, so they can be sold for money." Although the family does not run a manor, it is obvious that Sandy Clive knows better than him. , upon hearing her words, Jiang Hai also suddenly thought, it seemed like ha.
Before buying the cattle, he saw a pile of rusty scrap iron pushed into the warehouse of his manor. At that time, he muttered that he didn't know where he got it from, and those were just parts replaced by rust. chant.
"You are a rich person, and if the parts are rusty, you can just replace them with new ones. However, most farmers are not that rich. They buy the parts that have been discarded from large estates like you, and then except It can basically be used for two or three years." Seeing Jiang Hai remembering it, Sandy Clive also smiled and said to him.
"Oh, my uncle's manor is the Tenglong Manor. You are welcome to come and play when the time comes." He rubbed his nose in embarrassment. After all, Jiang Hai wasn't some kind of counterattacker. Well, maybe, but he definitely wasn't. A representative of the struggle stream.
He has hardly struggled. From the beginning, he was actually not too poor in money. He sold gems for 330 million.
The manor bought for 280 million dollars, and the remaining 50 million US dollars, although not much, is definitely a lot.
When the money was almost spent, he had another way to make money, until now.
Jiang Hai is really not short of money. He still has more than one billion in deposits in his bank, so he has not worked hard on medium and small farms. He is not very clear about the operation of these manors. Now that he has heard from the fairy Jiang Hai also subconsciously ignored Ti-Clive's words. He squatted down and looked at the little friends gathered in front of him. He grabbed a handful of candies from the bag and stuffed them into their hands. Then he said with a smile.
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the children naturally nodded with joy, and then happily watched Jiang Hai leave.
Jiang Hai also waved to them before leaving the commercial street. When he left the commercial street, Jiang Hai wanted to invite Sandy Clive to have a meal, but she refused, saying that she had already made an appointment. Jiang Hai couldn't say anything after losing his family.
He decided to let nature take its course with Sandy Clive at the beginning. The current situation between him and Sandy Clive was also something he had considered. Although it was a bit hard to accept, it was still in Jiang Hai's mind. .
After returning to the car alone, Jiang Hai threw his things into the back seat of the car, started the engine and left the town.
After returning to the manor, Darlene, Marianne, Bernice and Xiaoya were still very interested in seeing so many candies that Jiang Hai brought back. They took the pumpkin lanterns and began to decorate them.
As for the origin of the jack-o'-lantern, Sandy Clive also told Jiang Hai that it is said to be an Irish story.
There is a man named Jack in Ireland. He is very stingy, very stingy, and as long as he is not allowed to spend money, he even dares to tease the devil. Because of this, after he dies, heaven does not want him because he He was too stingy, even hell wouldn't want him, because he had outplayed the devil. In the end, he could only take his only property, a white radish, hollow out the inside, put a candle in it, and used it as a lamp to shine on the ground. Wandering in the world, the first things that made this lamp were white radish and cabbage.
However, after the Europeans arrived in North America, they discovered that pumpkins are very good at making things. It is precisely because of this that jack-o-lanterns were created. Now jack-o'-lanterns have become popular all over the world. The jack-o'-lanterns Jiang Hai bought are all very good. .
There is no need to put on candles. It comes with its own light and battery. As long as you turn on the switch, it can always light up.
The four girls and Jiang Hai were still interested in this thing, so after packing away the candies, they took these jack-o'-lanterns and decorated the manor, especially around the manor. There were a lot of them. It looked like It really feels like a festival. (To be continued.)
