The town of Liuying, the pearl of God on the southwest coastline of Iceland.

The town is located by the sea, with a rugged coastline and endless reefs that are as jagged as a wolf's teeth.

A lighthouse stands on top of the reef, and the deep blue water washes up, rolling up a thousand piles of snow.

Compared with the magnificent coast, the town of Liuying next to it is known for its simple and clear exquisite beauty.

Chen Song looked down, the sky was sunny at this time, and the noon sun was unscrupulously sown below, as if adding a filter to the colorful houses, and it looked even more beautiful.

Directly east of the town is a large river, which flows into the Gulf of Alabaca without hurry, and the sun shines on the water, and there is a golden sheen that flashes like a mirror.

Bruce's voice rang out at the right time: "Mr. Chen, this is the Marka River, the mother river of Liuying, do you see those lights? That's the ice floe, the ice floe from the Midals Ice Field, it's very beautiful on a sunny day." ”

"Truly beautiful. Chen Song nodded in agreement.

To the northwest of the town there is a large neat and flat clearing, where the three jumpers landed.

Then they changed cars, and Bruce's car was parked here, a classic Volkswagen.

The shape of the car is very simple, round and cute, like a sandwich brioche bread. It's old, but it's well preserved, with shiny black paint, a spotless finned front grille, and new headlights and fog lamps at the front and taillights at the rear.

Chen Song didn't study the car, but he also knew that it was a good car, so he whistled and said, "It's a great classic car, it looks cheap and not old." ”

"This is my old buddy, Volkswagen Karmann, 1972 edition, and when I was younger, it was the dream lover of all the lads. ”

The car is a 2+2 sports car, and after the blues starts, the engine provides a lot of power, and it is a drift at the airport.

Driving the car, the old man said, "Let's go back to dinner first, Emma has prepared lunch, let's eat and drink to our heart's content, and then if you want, I will take you around town." ”

Not far from the airport, the car turned into a country road, a fence wall appeared, the fence wall stretched for two or three hundred meters, and then an iron fence gate, and the old Volkswagen drifted again, and drove into the gate in style.

Entering the gate, there is a wide and flat stone road on both sides, in the middle is an oval garden running north-south, extending to the east and west sides are full of green lawns, of which there is a building with red tiles and white walls in the center of the west lawn, and there is a building of the same color and similar structure directly north of the gate.

This is a manor, a manor with no market value and a lot of maintenance costs. This is a chicken rib for Niu Feng, so he made a favor and sent Chen Song.

The manor was clean, the lawn had just been mowed, and the building had been painted not long ago, and a well-dressed old woman stood at the door and looked at Chen Song with a smile, and said in stiff Chinese: "Chen Xian Monk, your number." ”

Chen Song said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mrs. Tofo, it's an honor to meet you. ”

After Bruce parked the car, he went to help his wife first, and then said apologetically: "Emma is a little inconvenient, so I can't accompany me to pick you up, please forgive me." ”

Chen Song asked with concern, "Is Madame sick?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir, she has always been frail, and she is old. ”

Chen Song said: "Then please go and rest first, so that we should not let her prepare lunch, but eat outside." ”

Bruce said, "Sir, your first time home, how can Emma not show off her craft? ”

Emma's physical condition was indeed not good, she apologized to Chen Song and returned to the room with her husband's support.

Lunch was prepared and placed on a large wooden table in the dining room.

The table had to be four or five meters long, long and wide, and on one of the ends was a large domed vegetable cover, stainless steel, covered with a white napkin, which looked high-end and elegant.

Taking advantage of the fact that Bruce did not come back, Chen Song took out his mobile phone to call his parents, Iceland was eight hours slower than China in terms of time difference, and it was close to ten o'clock in the evening in China.

Chen Song dialed the phone twice before he heard his father's lazy voice: "Who? Why are you calling at this time? ”

"I'm your son, Dad, are you sleeping?"

"Ah, son, why did you call in the middle of the night? Your mother and I both fell asleep. ”

"Aren't you worried about me? I didn't tell you that you were safe, and you could sleep?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Chen Song was very disappointed: "Dad, you can't do this, you have to care about me." ”

Chen's father said weakly: "Son, your mother and I have been worried about you, have you arrived at that Arctic island safely? Is it cold there? Are you tired from flying? Or do you go to bed early? Young people don't stay ......up late."

"It's Iceland! and it's noon on my side!"

"So, take an early nap?"

It was so hurtful, Chen Song reported his peace sadly, and then asked, "What about my mother? She hasn't worried too much about me in the past two days, right?"

"She's so worried about you, she can't eat, she can't sleep, she can't sleep well. ”

The snoring sound has reached Northern Europe through mobile phones.

Chen Song silently hung up the phone, connected to the WIFI of the manor, and then several unread messages appeared on WeChat.

It was sent by old classmates, old colleagues, and old friends, but there was no wife to send it.

Chen Song patted his head, what do you think, how can you have a wife?

Although no news was sent by his wife, a beautiful woman contacted him, and the high school goddess Li Qin sent several messages:

'Is the plane in Hong Kong now? I've checked your flight, it seems to be going to fly for 34 hours in total, pay attention to rest. ’

If you have time, you can go to Yorktown, where afternoon tea is very tasty. ’

'Have you landed safely in Iceland?' Why haven't you ever heard back?'

……

Chen Song looked at the screen suspiciously, this is the cold goddess in his memory?

He hugged his mobile phone and replied with interest: (clenching his fist) I just went home, I didn't look at my phone on the way, sorry.

Li Qin quickly replied: (tapping) Where are you now?

Li Qin: Isn't your home in Chenjiagouzi, Yushan Town? (curious)

Chen Song: I got a house in Iceland and came back for a long time.

At this time, Bruce came back, so he took a picture of the dining table and sent it over and replied: Sorry, I ate first, let's talk later.

Bruce changed his clothes, from a slim trench coat to a black vest, black trousers and shiny black leather shoes, inside the vest was a straight snow-white shirt, when he walked straight, Chen Song instantly felt like watching "Downton Abbey".

Walking to the table, Bruce helped him open the stainless steel dish cover and smiled, "Mr. Chen, please dine." ”

Chen Song felt that he was suddenly young and hemorrhoids, and he fidgeted and said, "Bruce, don't be so polite, you sit down." ”

A momentary shadow appeared on Bruce's face: "Mr. Chen, can I help you get to know the manor and the town before submitting your resignation report?"

Chen Song was stunned: "What do you mean? No, hey, I'm very satisfied with you, and I don't have the idea of letting you resign." ”

Bruce smiled again: "Then Mr. Chen invites you to dine." ”

Chen Song understood what he meant, and sighed: "Bruce, let's be honest, I'm not a noble young master, I'm just a silk, you don't need to serve me like this." ”

Bruce hesitated and asked, "What kind of family is this?"

"Kill the Matt family. ”

"I see. Bruce was stunned.

Chen Song patted his forehead: "I'm kidding you, maybe you don't understand the meaning of this word, then I'll put it another way, I'm just an ordinary person, let's get along on an equal footing." ”

Bruce also understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, we are indeed equal in personality. But I'm your steward, you have your job, I have mine, and now I'm working, so you don't have to be stressed. ”

Chen Song saw that he was an elm pimple, and it was useless to say anything, so he had to sigh helplessly.

Bruce opened the dish cover, helped him prepare the fork, and then stood behind him and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want to drink?" I recommend Viking beer to you, it has a dry taste, the alcohol content is not very high, it feels very refreshing, do you need to try it?"

Chen Song said: "Okay, listen to you." ”

There was more than one plate in the hood, the largest of which was a red lobster, and after Bruce brought him a glass of beer, he naturally took the lobster and disassembled it and explained at the same time:

"You know, Mr. Chen, Iceland is surrounded by the sea, the Arctic Circle in the north, and the warm current of Mexico in the south, so the fishery is very developed, and the lobster produced in it is very distinctive, it is big and tender, please taste it. ”

But instead of lobster, the first thing he ate was a small bowl of caviar.

The roe is large and red in color, like small pearls.

Bruce introduced him to the pre-dinner cold cuts, and when he was done, he brought him a small bowl of soup:

"It's a traditional Icelandic dish made by cutting lamb into small pieces, boiling it in bones and water, adding rice, potatoes, turnips, carrots and onions. ”

After Chen Song took a sip, the soup was different from the domestic mutton soup, it was quite viscous, and there may be cream added to it, but it was not fat, but a little sweet.

Seeing him nod, Bruce smiled, "Every owner in Iceland cooks this soup, and every family has a recipe left by their ancestors and improved by their descendants, which is called ...... in Chinese terms."

"Ancestral craft? ah no, ancestral recipes. ”

"Yes, Mr. Chen. Bruce bowed slightly and withdrew the small bowl, and brought him a plate with a few slices of fish and a small bowl of sauce, "Taste the side dish, the tuna salad." Originally, Emma wanted to arrange Icelandic whale meat for you, but I knew that the Chinese were more resistant to whale hunting, so I replaced it with tuna meat. ”

"Also, if you're looking for some bread, I recommend the town's specialty black naked rye geothermal bread, which tastes great with butter. ”

Chen Song stuffed a bunch of things into his mouth: "Enough is enough, in fact, I don't eat too much - bring me the lobster, I have to dry it." ”

He thought that eating the lobster was the end, but when he was done, Bruce brought a small basket of pudding, ice cream, chocolate, and fruit.

Chen Song's face changed, and he pondered that he had to go back and ask Tongluanzi if he had a weight loss pill, and he would not have a head if he ate it like this!
