22. Icelandic Shepherd Dog

Chen Song just wanted to make a little joke, and then he regretted it.

The fat old man is the owner of the restaurant and a very serious person, and in the next five minutes, he gave Chen Song a good science about the difference between the ingredient list and the recipe......

It was Emma who rescued him: "Billy, there are people waiting for you to bring bread, and look, how many people are waiting in line." ”

The fat old man sighed: "Alas, this damn life, it really embarrasses me, why do I have to face so many troubles every day? Damn, why hasn't God come to save me yet?"

Chen Song said: "Sir, this is the true meaning of life, don't we live for pleasure? Lo and behold, you have a thriving restaurant, you have a healthy body, and you have so many friends, you should be content to open it at your age. ”

The fat old man looked at him in surprise and smiled: "Ha, young man, your mentality is really good." ”

Chen Song shook his head and said: "I only figured it out recently, I couldn't do it before, I always like to complain, complain about others, feel sorry for myself, and I can't think about it." ”

"Then why did you suddenly want to open it lately?"

Chen Song was silent for a moment and replied, "I picked up an antique and sold it for ten million dollars. Oh, that's 1.2 billion crowns. ”

The smile on the fat old man's face froze.

"Eat, Billy, you go and entertain the guests first. Bruce hurriedly greeted.

Emma broke the bread, Chen Song took a piece and bit into it in his mouth, feeling extremely soft, it had a strong wheat aroma and a faint milky aroma, and an indescribable taste, so he asked, "What's the deal with this unique taste?"

"It's the smell of geothermal heat. Bruce replied.

The geothermal toast was soft inside and out, and Chen Song enjoyed eating it so much that he felt that he didn't need to use the dishes, just eating bread was very enjoyable.

Emma gave him a taste of the smoked lamb, which was brown and red in color, like a simple cured ham, served with mashed potatoes and green peas, and topped with sauce.

Chen Song took a bite of mutton, which was quite chewy, and there was also the aroma of meat and another indescribable taste in the smell.

"What does it smell like?" he asked, expectantly.

Bruce hesitated, "Probably, maybe it smells like sheep dung?" This smoked lamb dish is a traditional Icelandic Christmas delicacy made with birch leaves and dried sheep dung. ”

Chen Song's face turned pale: "Is this a dark cuisine?"

Bruce laughed, "No, it's not dark cuisine, you won't be exposed to real dark cuisine in the future." ”

Lunch is not expensive, 12,000 krons in total, and it is clear that the level of consumption in the Icelandic countryside is lower than in the cities.

After lunch, Bruce asked him what his plans were.

Chen Song thought for a while and asked, "Our manor is so big, should we raise a dog or something?" ”

Bruce smiled: "The law and order in Liuying Town is very good, there have been no criminal cases in four or five years, if you are worried about public security, I don't think there is any need for this." And everyone in the town used to know that although our No. 2 manor was very large, there was actually nothing of value in it, only two old guys. ”

Chen Song said: "Now there is one more me, and in the eyes of people outside, I am Chinese, and Chinese are local tycoons, which is different from before. ”

"Is there one?"

"Hello, yes. ”

Bruce was kind and said, "So what dog do you like?"

"How's the husky?" asked Chen Song excitedly.

Bruce laughed, "I have an old fellow who once had a burglar in his house who came to his door and stole all the appliances, so he raised a husky to come to the door. Later, another thief came to his house, and not only lost his newly purchased electrical appliances, but also lost a dog. ”

This is too real, Chen Song smacked his lips, in fact, if you really want to look at the home nursing home, you should choose a Chinese pastoral dog, but unfortunately you can't find this kind of dog in Iceland.

After discussion, the adopted dog breed was finally determined to be an Icelandic Shepherd Dog, which is considering that Chen Song may open a ranch in the future, and the Icelandic Shepherd Dog will indeed herd cattle and sheep.

"So, where do you go to buy one?" Chen Song asked.

Bruce said, "No need to buy it, Mr. Chen, I remember Lilith from the church gave birth to a litter of puppies four months ago, let's go and see." ”

The restaurant and the church are exactly in two directions, and when you drive to the east of the town, you can see the Dures Church.

It is a twin church, that is, two churches stand together like townhouses, one with a red brick roof and the other with a white tile roof. In front of them there is a small square, surrounded by green meadows, echoed by a few stout pines and cypresses, which remain evergreen even in winter.

People who are not familiar with Northern Europe will confuse Iceland with Greenland, thinking that Iceland is an island full of ice and snow, but in fact, Iceland is located in the north temperate zone, the climate is relatively comfortable compared to the same latitude, there is not much ice and snow, and the island has a high green coverage, which is more like a green island.

There is no shortage of trees in Iceland, and at one point the island was as high as 25% of the forest, but the Vikings came to the island and cut down 80% of the country's primeval forest in the first 50 years, and let the free-range livestock gnaw off the saplings that were not yet grown, resulting in a period of lack of trees in Iceland.

In the 20th century, Iceland embarked on one of the greatest reforestation projects in the history of Northern Europe, with the government bringing in more than 100 tree species from Siberia, Alaska, and mainland Europe, and re-establishing forests and nature parks.

The pine and cypress trees next to the church grow tall, especially the cypress trees, which have a lush canopy, thick bodies, and swings made of cables on their branches, and a few children play under the trees.

Bruce took Chen Song to visit the two churches and explained to him some religious knowledge, the townspeople believe in Protestantism and are Lutherans, so there are not many statues of Jesus in the church, only a cross.

Chen Song followed the customs, and when he arrived at the foot of the cross, he asked, "Bruce, I am not a believer, so if I go to pray, will God bless me?"

"As long as you're religious. Bruce laughed.

Chen Songna was pious enough, and after he passed, he suddenly knelt on the ground, crossed his hands and bowed his head to make a wish: "Merciful lord, please bless me to find a wife in the town as soon as possible." ”

Bruce said, "Lutheranism doesn't pay attention to formalism, Mr. Chen, you don't have to kneel. In addition, the Lord blesses peace, and does not care much about marriage. ”

Chen Song nodded, stood up and prayed again: "Merciful Lord, please bless me to find a wife in the town who can bless my safety as soon as possible - hey, the policewoman is fine." ”

He thought of Angelina's straight and long legs, if they were replaced with black silk......

couldn't think about it, Chen Song hurriedly raised his anus to restrain himself.

A pastor approached him and said, "Hello, sir. ”

Chen Song took a look at it, wasn't this the big man he had met in the morning? He recalled it for a moment, remembering that the priest's name was Alexson.

Young Clay was also in the church, and when he saw Chen Song, he ran excitedly: "Ha, young man?"

Chen Song touched his head and said, "Ha, little rabbit." ”

Bruce exchanged a few words with Pastor Alexson and was concerned about Clay's condition.

Knowing that the two of them had come for the shepherds, the priest laughed and said, "I don't know if you are lucky or bad, Lilith's children have been almost selected, and only the last little one remains." ”

Hearing this, Clay became anxious: "Hey, are you going to take Lilith's last child? No, you can't do that, that's too cruel to Lilith." ”

"Son, you don't know what cruelty is. Chen Song said to him, "Suppose you only have a cookie in your hand now, and you will give it to Lilith before giving birth to a puppy, right?"

"Yes. ”

"And now, now that Lilith has a baby, who are you going to give it to?"

Clay blinked, pointed to God, and said, "Then I'll give it to him, and pray that he'll give me two more biscuits for my sake." ”

Chen Song was stunned: "Hey, this little clever ghost." ”

A small house was fenced off in the meadow behind the church, which was Lilith's home.

The appearance of the Icelandic Shepherd Dog is similar to the rhubarb in the Chinese pastoral dog, with yellow and white dog hair all over, a strong triangular head, two triangular ears, compact muscles throughout the body, alert and friendly.

The fly in the ointment is that as a guard dog, they are a little smaller, and adult dogs weigh only twenty or thirty pounds, compared to the Labrador pig that can grow to eighty pounds by eating casually, it is not enough to see.

Far away from the kennel, Clay whistled, and Lilith jumped up and down happily.

Clay shouted, "Hide your baby, Lilith, there's a bad guy trying to take your baby." ”

Bruce laughed, "Relax, my child, Lilith won't be separated from her baby very far, they're still in the same town, and they can still smell each other in the air." ”

Clay stubbornly said, "Then I still don't want them to separate." ”

Chen Song asked, "Can you stay with dogs? Dog hair is a very common allergen, right?"

Clay said disdainfully: "I'm not allergic to dog hair, I'm allergic to plastic!"

Chen Song was stunned: "There are still people who are allergic to plastics?"

Alexson said helplessly: "Yes, although this is rare, it does exist. ”

Clay didn't seem to like to be discussed about his condition, and he said angrily: "There are a lot of people who are allergic to plastic, and there are people who are allergic to sunlight and oil fumes." Uncle Ellie said that most people in the world are allergic to certain things, but some people never know what they are allergic to for the rest of their lives. What are you allergic to, lad?"

Chen Song thought for a while and said, "I don't know what I'm allergic to, but I know what I'm allergic to." ”

"What?"

"Money, money never takes the initiative to approach me, it must be allergic to me. ”
