Chapter 442: Guest
Three days later.
Ye Luo took Xia Xiaofei to Newfoundland, planning to be a guest at McCogey's house, which is an ordinary relationship, so there is no need to wear a dress.
Since he was not in China, Ye Luo only brought some live seafood from the fishery as gifts, and he learned through Xia Xiaofei's mouth that McCojie's children worked in other cities, and now he lives with his wife, a six-year-old grandson and a granddaughter who is less than a year old and less than two years old.
Ye Luo brought 'local specialties', Xia Xiaofei naturally would not be empty-handed, but people went to the toy store and bought more than a dozen different toys under the promotion of the shopping guide.
McCorgeie drove his Chevrolet pickup truck to pick up people, this car is the second largest in the North American pickup truck market, and the best-selling car is naturally Ford, and it is next.
Pickup sales were particularly good in the United States and Canada.
This is also related to the national conditions of other people, mainly because these two countries are too vast, and many small towns are dotted with branches in a vast land.
In this way, life is a bit inconvenient for a resident of the two countries who does not live in the city, and the nearest city from home is usually dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
If you don't want to run long distances every day, every time you go shopping, it's basically about the same scale as Xiaoshiduo's purchase, and you can't really do it without a pickup.
In addition, influenced by the American pickup culture, Canadians also have a pickup tradition, and many families have pickup trucks passed down from their grandparents. This also affects their choice when buying a car, after all, grandpa and dad both drive pickup trucks, and they touched pickup trucks when they were young, so why not buy pickup trucks?
The Chevrolet pickup is a classic pickup, aggressive, nicknamed 'Locomotive', and in the promotional video, the cargo is directly equipped with an aviation turbofan in the cargo hopper, and then flies through the Canadian ice fields to show its excellent to perverted performance.
As for Newfoundland, the cars that Ye Luo sees most on the road are cars, not pickups.
In the same way, this is related to the national conditions of Hawaii, after all, Hawaii is an archipelago country, and the land area of each island city cannot be compared with the land even if it is large, and the place of work is not far away, at most a few kilometers or two or three kilometers, most people will choose cars, and a few people will choose pickups.
McCorgeme is one of the few.
After getting in the car, Xia Xiaofei chatted with McCojie about pickup culture, and Ye Luo couldn't interject in this regard.
In his opinion, the most awesome car is a sports car, or a luxury SUV, and pickup trucks are really not his thing.
But for McCorgey, pickup trucks are the favorite, and after Xia Xiaofei provoked the topic, he said with great interest: "Our family started with a second-hand pickup truck, and I still remember that my grandfather bought a Ford Heavy-duty at that time!"
"Heavy-duty, oh, I have to admit, it's a classic car. ”
Xia Xiaofei smiled and said, "Grandpa McCojie, I have to admit that your grandfather bought a baby." I remember it was nicknamed 'Popeye', and it was Ford's first-generation ace pickup, so you can do anything with it. And it's a 95-horsepower 3.6-liter inline-six engine, right? My grandfather was lucky enough to buy a second-hand one, which he now considers a treasure, parked in the garage and wouldn't let anyone drive it. ”
"Yes, yes, Fifi, you're absolutely right. ”
McCojie nodded happily and said: "It is relying on that pickup truck that our family's construction team has started, starting from transporting cement to people, to doing it ourselves, after our three generations of efforts, now my family's construction team has three people at the beginning and more than 1,000 people now." ”
"Legendary, that's all I can say. Xia Xiaofei patted her ass at the right time.
McCojie laughed, after arriving at his house, if Ye Luo didn't know about the generational relationship between McCojie and Xia Xiaofei, he would probably think that this old man would be eager to become a brother and sister of the opposite sex with Xia Xiaofei.
As for yourself?
Where did it come from, just get out of here.
Do you know Ford's 1st and 2nd generation pickups?
Do you know the road to the confrontation of the big three of Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford pickups?
No, I don't know!
McCorgeel's home is on the western side of Newfoundland, about a twenty-minute drive from downtown.
It's like the kind of house that looks like a single-family cottage that often appeared in Hollywood movies in the previous life.
McCoger's home is also in this style, with a small yard, garage, and good greenery around, it is a sea view house, and you can walk to the beach in a few minutes.
In addition to the city center, there are many small villa-like houses in Hawaii's major island cities, which are equivalent to the blue brick houses in rural China.
Of course, there is no blue brick and tile house that is solid and durable, but it is more beautiful.
McCorge's house and its neighbors are not close to each other, and they are separated by about forty or fifty meters, which creates a single-family environment.
Two rows of landscape trees are planted on both sides of the street in front of the door, and the houses are surrounded by seasonal flowers, which are of different colors, red, white or yellow, and bloom very gorgeously.
After getting out of the car, it was finally Ye Luo's turn to speak, and praised: "Your house is really good, the style is very good, and the environment is also great." ”
McCojie smiled and thanked him, and then shouted into the room, and a white-haired grandmother opened the door from the house, and when she saw Ye Luo and Xia Xiaofei, she opened her arms and gave a warm hug.
"McCojie often talks about you, Mr. Ye, he says you are a respectable and kind rich man, thank you for helping our family. Mrs. McCojie finished speaking to Ye Luo first, and then turned to Xia Xiaofei: "It's been a long time, Fei Fei, I remember you were still a child of a few years old, and now you have grown into a beautiful and elegant beauty, and at the same time you have found such a good husband, I am really happy for you." ”
Ye Luo: "......"
Mrs. McCorger's words made Ye Luo stunned, then smiled, and then wanted to explain that Xia Xiaofei and he were still boyfriend and girlfriend, and they were not married yet.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaofei had already hugged Mrs. McCojie and said thank you.
Come on, it seems that Xia Xiaofei's daughter-in-law can't run.
After entering the house, Ye Luo took out the gift he had prepared first.
McCojie took the gift, took it to the kitchen with his wife, and then took Ye Luo and Xia Xiaofei, who were holding toys, to the small courtyard at the back, while his wife began to prepare lunch.
The courtyard resembles a small garden, with a cobblestone path interspersed with flowers on one side and a cozy shade pavilion on the other.
At this time, the grass at the back door.
A shirtless six- or seven-year-old boy was playing with a car, and in the stroller next to him, a little girl over a year old was playing with her thumb in her mouth.
McCoger introduced Ye Luo to the fact that the little boy was his grandson, named Harry, and the little girl was named Tiney.
Harry greeted the two of them very nicely.
Obviously, McCojie, as a grandfather, did not ignore the lesson because of his grandson, it can be said that the tutor is very good, and Tini babbles and wants to hug after seeing Scarlett.
As for leaf fall?
Goodbye......
Fortunately, Ye Luo sent the gift in time, which saved a lot of points.
Harry hugged a lot of toys such as Transformers, remote-controlled toy cars, and model airplanes, and closed his mouth with a smile, and in addition to being happy, he even handed the car he just played with to Ye Luo.
Ye Luo took a look, hey, good guy, even the electric car toys are pickups, and the traditional enlightenment education of this pickup truck is really good.
At least he couldn't do that.
Ye Luo and Xia Xiaofei played with the two little ones for a while, and McCojie went to sit down in the gazebo, while his wife came up with a set of tools.
Ye Luo looked at it curiously and found that there were electric mixers, ice buckets with ice tongs, wine jugs, juicers, ice separators, and measuring cups.
Immediately, Mrs. McCorger sent some bottles and jars of dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, white wine, red wine, champagne, tonic water, soda, etc., all drinks.
Looking at these things, Ye Luo suddenly understood, dare to lover this is to mix wine and please taste it yourself!
In his previous life, when he occasionally went to a bar, he had seen the bartender at the bar mix wine, and the tool was much more cumbersome and complicated than that.
McCorger picked up the cocktail glass and shook it: "I have a secret drink called the Iceberg Martini, would you like to try it?"
What is Martini, Ye Luo really doesn't know, he has never been very interested in more than his own things, but he can't refuse at this time, after all, he is now a guest at someone's house, so he smiled and said okay.
After some dazzling movements, McCojie handed Ye Luo a glass of clear and transparent wine, and finally added two mint leaves to it, so that the verdant and clear intersected, which is very beautiful.
Ye Luo took a sip, his eyes lit up slightly, and said: "If I didn't know that you were running a construction company, I guess I would have regarded you as a professional bartender, the taste and taste are very novel!"
The soft and strong texture and the coolness of the iced mint leaves are blended together, and the taste is really good.
McCojie mixed a glass of wine for Ye Luo, and began to mix drinks for Xia Xiaofei again.
At this time, Harry was curiously holding the transformer who unfolded the box and stood at the table, Ye Luo handed him the cup and laughed: "Man, do you want to taste it?"
Perhaps it was the manly man who played a role, or perhaps he was piqued by curiosity, Harry took it, took a small sip, and stuck out his tongue spicily.
Seeing this scene, both McCojie and Ye Luo, who were bartenders, laughed, and Harry muttered, 'No juice tastes good', and then even dipped some wine with his little finger and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.
The little girl was played with and sneezed hard, and now it was Harry's turn to grin.
Of course, McCorgey's scolding is indispensable, and if he wasn't bartending now, he would probably have been beaten up.
Lunch was served one after another, and it was obvious that Mr. and Mrs. McCojie attached great importance to Ye Luo, a guest, and the meals were prepared very richly.
Start with a cabbage roll as an appetizer, accompanied by cod tongue, local mussels, Maine lobster and dried cod.
The main meal is barbecue, which Ye Luo often eats on the island, even now with skewers, Ye Luo will get some barbecue meat from time to time to eat, not only he likes it, but even the little guy likes it.
However, the barbecue prepared by the women of McCorger is different from ordinary barbecue, but very similar to kebabs, the ingredients are fresh and fine beef, but the family marinates it in fat for a while, so that when grilling, it is not brushed with oil, but brushed with a slightly sweet milk garlic sauce, and sprinkled with some pepper and salt when eating.
