Chapter 984: Woods Hole

"Go on!" Choosing a boy who looked more pleasing to the eye on the dock, Jiang Hai threw the cable from the ship over. The guy immediately took the cable and then tied it firmly to the pile in the distance.

As the rope was tightened, Jiang Hai's boat slowly came closer. As Edward Anderson docked the boat here, Jiang Hai and the others also walked down the stairs, because there must be people on board. It was a guard, so there were only three people who came down. Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson and Connerson Peters, while Bell Lester and Harriman Fells stayed on the ship.

"Young man did a good job!" After getting off the boat, Jiang Hai saw the child standing in the distance rubbing his hands to help him tie the boat. Of course, he also knew the rules and took out an Andrew card from his pocket. -Jackson (twenty dollars) was stuffed into his hand, and looking at the tip given by Jiang Hai, the little guy was so happy that bubbles almost came out of his nose.

"Thank you, sir!" He put the money into his arms and shouted excitedly.

"You deserve this. By the way, can you tell me where the best hotel in the town is?" Seeing this guy's excitement, Jiang Hai also smiled and said.

"Come with me, sir." Hearing that Jiang Hai still had something to trouble him, the boy also slapped his own lips, and then led Jiang Hai towards the small town.

Cape Cod is indeed not very far from Jiang Hai's home. If you take a speedboat, you can get there in about three hours.

If it is a fishing boat, it will take nearly six hours. Jiang Hai's yacht is slightly slower than the speedboat, but much faster than the yacht, so it takes more than three hours to arrive. It is almost 30 nautical miles away from his fishing ground. Or so. If this was an ordinary fishing boat, it would take more than an hour to travel, but Jiang Hai's yacht was not available.

Following the child, Jiang Hai quickly walked into this small town. The buildings in this small town were quite old. There were no high-rise buildings or busy traffic. The whole town looked very old.

The buildings in the town have a strong Gothic feel. Of course, Edward Anderson had told Jiang Hai before coming here that the buildings in this town can actually be regarded as cultural relics.

Because the buildings in this town were basically built when Europeans immigrated to the United States.

The original name of Cape Cod is Cape Cod. Of course, it is also called Cape Cod now. Cape Cod is just a nickname.

This place was first discovered in 1602. The person who discovered it was a fisherman. Well, the official name is the explorer Gosnold, but I have never considered why Gosnold Will there be a boatload of cod on board? Whether it's to flatter these people or not, it was named Cape Cod because of that boatload of cod.

Later, in 1620, a group of murderers, heretics, and people who couldn't survive arrived here on the Mayflower.

When there are people here, they naturally have to build houses, so the original pagans built these buildings with a strong Gothic style. Gothic architecture originated during the European Renaissance, in the 12th century. Started to disappear in the 16th century.

At that time, Gothic architecture was no longer popular in Europe. Emerging forces even gave them a derogatory term, called Gothic architecture. Yes, Gothic is the original name, and Gothic means derogatory. Words.

So if someone goes to Europe and you point at some buildings in France and say, these are Gothic buildings, they might get beaten.

The small town of Woodstur is not very big. There are about 400 people living in it?

Nearly one-third of the people living on it are ocean hunters, and of these one-third people, only one-tenth will stay on the island all year round. The other young people, as long as they have the means, except for eight people every year They will not come back voluntarily outside of September to October.

The main income of this town during the year comes from tourism, because after all, this is the birthplace of the United States.

So every year some people come here to take pictures, leave a souvenir, etc., but because this place is really not big, and on the entire Cod Island, there are more than a dozen small towns with the same customs and customs. , evenly divided, this place is really not rich.

But for the sake of this only financial source, they still adhere to the small town style. Well, to Jiang Hai, it looks very eerie on cloudy days. For Chinese people, is it a Gothic style... …Isn’t it the style of a haunted house or a haunted house? Okay, Jiang Hai seems to have made a mistake again, but he really doesn't understand this.

Following the boy in front of him, Jiang Hai walked to the middle of the town. There was a small square in the middle of the town. In the middle was a dry fountain. Around the square, it should be the commercial center of the town. , there are several hotels and bars, and in the alley far away, there are also some professional places that only men go to. It is not uncommon in these places in the United States. When he brought Jiang Hai here, the boy With an excited look on his face, he pointed to the three-story building called 'Toby & George's Hotel' in front of him, and smiled at Jiang Hai. Needless to say, he knew that this place should be in place.

"Sorry to trouble you." As he said this, Jiang Hai gave him another ten-dollar coin and then walked into the hotel.

When he walked in, the first thing he saw was a lobby similar to a bar, and a staircase going upstairs.

At this time, there were only about five or six figures in the bar, divided into three parts. There were two tables of people sitting at the far table. When they heard Jiang Hai and the others came in, they glanced at Jiang Hai and the others, and then He turned his head and expressed that he was not interested in Jiang Hai.

"Hello, welcome. Do you want to eat, drink or stay in a hotel?" The other person, a fat old man who was sitting in front of the bar and watching TV, said to Jiang Hai and the others while holding a cigarette in his mouth. .

"Hi, Toby." But before Jiang Hai spoke, Edward Anderson started talking with a smile.

"Huh? Edward? I haven't seen you for a while." Hearing Edward Anderson's voice, the fat man couldn't help but turned his head in confusion. When he saw it was Edward Anderson , he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I thought your place was going to close." Edward Anderson walked over and shook hands with the man, then patted the man on the shoulder, and then said to him, when he heard Edward - At Anderson's words, the fat man named Toby also laughed. It was obvious that he didn't care about Edward Anderson's jokes. In this case, they often made jokes many years ago.

"Don't worry, this place will always be open before I die. Are you coming here to stay or eat? Or just come to visit old friends." Looking at Edward Anderson, Toby smiled Then he asked.

"We have everything, staying in hotels, eating, and visiting old friends." Hearing Toby's words, Edward Anderson also smiled and said, and then took the initiative to step back and introduce Toby to his boss. , Jiang Hai.

"Toby, this is my boss, Jiang Hai from China, Mr. Jiang." Hearing Edward Anderson introduce himself, Jiang Hai also said hello, and then stretched out his hands.

"Boy, I've heard about you. I wish you a good time here. How many rooms do you want and how many nights do you want to stay?" After shaking hands with Jiang Hai, Toby also smiled and said, in Massachusetts, There are not many coastal residents who have never heard of Jiang Hai.

"Let's get three rooms. There will be one room with one bed and two rooms with two beds. We haven't booked the specific length of stay yet, but I still have to trouble you to prepare some food for us while cleaning up the room. "Hearing Toby's words, Jiang Hai also said with a smile. This was what he and Edward Anderson had just discussed on the boat.

There are five of them in total, Jiang Hai. Naturally, Jiang Hai has to live on the shore every day. Although the sea is not particularly shaken now, it is definitely a little shaken. He is the boss, and he has the right to live on the shore.

The remaining four people exchanged pairs. Today these two people will get off the ship, and tomorrow the other two people will get off the ship. Americans don't like to live in other people's beds. They are more particular about privacy, so Jiang Hai specially asked for two of the two beds. .

"Okay, no problem!" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Tobi here also smiled and responded.

"Chavi, you lazy guy, pack up the three best rooms for me immediately. One room has one bed, and two rooms have two beds. There are guests coming, and there has been no movement for so long. Sooner or later I will be fired. You! George, old man, Edward brought his boss over, prepare some special dishes to entertain them! You guys sit down first!" After Toby's words fell, he directly yelled at the two of them. Lou shouted. Hearing his shout, there was a noise on the second floor, and then there were footsteps quickly running to the third floor and starting to get busy, and there was also a sound from the kitchen.

Jiang Hai did not feel uncomfortable with such a rough arrangement. He felt that it was best not to regard himself as an outsider. Edward Anderson naturally knew Jiang Hai's habits, so he smiled and brought Jiang Hai went to an empty table.

"Boss, you can try Old George's pineapple chicken nuggets with cod later. The taste will definitely not disappoint you." After everyone sat down, Edward Anderson also said to Jiang Hai with a smile.

"Edward, since you know this place, why didn't you just bring us here?" Hearing Edward Anderson's words, Jiang Hai smiled, but then asked with some confusion, causing him to spend more time Ten dollar knife.

"Hi, Jiang, you are the boss. It is you who decides where we are, not anyone else!" But after hearing what Jiang Hai said, Edward Anderson said seriously. After hearing what he said, Jiang Hai smiled. After a while, he just likes this kind of subordinates! (To be continued.)
