Chapter 354: Earth Authority: Ice and Snow
The owner of the house that rented the house to Ye Fan and others was an old man in his sixties with Mediterranean hair.
He didn't tell Ye Fan and them by name, he just asked them to call him Mondstadt or Old Mondstadt.
Mondstadt Sr. raised two sons and a daughter.
Both sons left Cook Village to find jobs and a stable life in the city, but rarely visited his old family.
It's a lot of time a year for both of them to come to see Old Mondstadt once.
More likely to come every two or three years.
Mondstadt's daughter, who did not go to work and live in Chilean cities, lived a better life and married an American businessman.
The daughter visited Mondstadt more times than the two sons of Mondstadt combined.
He even offered to take Mondstadt to live in the United States.
The transportation in Cook Village is very inconvenient, and it is even more inconvenient to see a doctor or something, and his daughter wants to take old Mondstadt to live in the United States, apparently for his good.
But Mondstadt Sr. did not agree.
For him, life here is engraved in his bones.
The prosperity and splendor of the outside world are desirable for most people.
But for people like him, it's scary.
The old Mondstadt, who had been alone in Cook Village for decades, was already out of step with the outside times.
Once you go to the outside world, you may not really know what you can do.
So he doesn't want to go, he's afraid of strangers, he's old, and he's old in receptivity.
In recent years, if it weren't for the existence of travel intermediaries, Ye Fan and others would not even be able to book.
Because most people in Cook Village don't understand the Internet.
In the evening, Ye Fan invited old Mondstadt to dinner.
Thank you to him for providing them with a great place to spend their honeymoon.
Whether it is the big hot spring outside the house or this clean and tidy three-story wooden house, it gives them a very good experience.
These reasons are secondary.
The most important thing is that Ye Fan saw some of the situation of old Mondstadt through the eye of insight, and he felt a little sympathy for him.
Because this kind of encounter is very similar to his grandparents in his previous life.
In his previous life, his grandparents were the kind of authentic farmers, and the electronic products they had the most contact with in their lives were televisions in addition to wall clocks.
And the TVs are still the old-fashioned black-and-white TVs, only two or three of them, which were used until 2008, when Ye Fan's father replaced them with color TVs.
But even if it is replaced by a color TV, it is actually not much different for this kind of old farmer who has been dealing with the land all his life.
Because their need for televisions is almost zero.
This situation was difficult to understand in the eyes of Ye Fan, who was only a teenager at the time.
It's like he doesn't understand why his grandparents can't even use the remote control.
Their way of thinking has been nailed to that land, and it has been completely derailed from the times.
At the same time, due to age and ideological reasons, I can't absorb the current things.
The scope of their lives, whatever they may be, is confined to a very small range.
This is the cage that the times and poverty have drawn for them.
Among them, poverty is the root cause.
As some people say, there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty.
This sentence may be a bit extreme, but who can completely deny it?
......
Generally speaking, Ye Fan would not casually look at others with the eye of insight.
But haven't you been targeted by people from the US intelligence service recently!
Although no evil thoughts have appeared in his range of perception, it is better to be cautious.
Ye Fan: They ate hot pot at night.
The ingredients are all airlifted over, and they are both fresh and expensive.
Although it was just a dispensable expense for Ye Fan now, if he could, he would like to directly use the skill of teleportation to bring fresher food.
It doesn't matter if it's money or not, fresh and delicious is what Ye Fan is pursuing now.
Even if it's airlifted by helicopter, it's not as good as teleportation.
But now that I'm being stared at, in order not to go wrong, I can only do this.
Old Mondstadt felt a little new to this kind of hot pot food that was "full of oriental flavors".
It's like cooking soup, but it's not the same as cooking soup.
It's more fragrant, and it's more cooked.
I haven't eaten it yet, just smelling the saliva fragrance in the air is already making people hungry.
"It's almost ready, let's eat!"
Ye Fan put the washed four pairs of chopsticks and a male spoon on the hot pot and said.
Chopsticks and spoons can be understood as chopsticks for picking vegetables and spoons for soup, which do not stick to the mouth, although it is relatively troublesome, but the focus is on hygiene.
There are many people who like to use chopsticks.
I don't know when it started.
As for the male spoon~
Isn't it used throughout Huaxia!
Since Ye Fan had already told Old Mondstadt before, Old Mondstadt knew the usefulness of these things.
But he doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so he uses a spoon to serve the food.
Spoons and chopsticks are such things, although they are disgusted on the surface, but they don't want to eat other people's saliva.
But in fact...... And it is.
"Old Mondstadt, where is the best place for you to ski?"
Seeing that Old Mondstadt was a little restrained, Ye Fan took the initiative to open his mouth and lead the topic.
Hearing Ye Fan say this, old Mondstadt, who had been eating silently before, suddenly came to his senses, spoke a mouthful of Spanish with local characteristics, and told Ye Fan which places on the mountain are suitable for skiing, which places are suitable for watching snow, and which places are more dangerous......
Although Chile is located in South America, its lingua franca is Spanish.
Among Ye Fan and others, Ye Fan can speak Chinese, English, and French.
Ye Shiling speaks English and Huaxia.
Only Minina knew some Spanish, but only at the point where she could barely communicate.
And the reason why he was able to communicate so normally with Old Mondstadt was mainly due to the power of technology.
On his phone, Jarvis would translate the elder Mondstadt's words for them without barriers.
After such an explanation and a drink, the old Mondstadt's spirit was not as tense as before.
From time to time, he explained some things about Cook Village and the surrounding area to Ye Fan.
Even, after drinking too much, he began to complain that his two sons were coming.
Finally, after everyone had eaten and drunk, Ye Fan sent the drunk old man back to his residence.
It has been said that people who like to drink are alcoholics.
But it's not entirely true.
Those who have bitter water in their stomachs will also get drunk when they encounter alcohol!
The next day.
