Chapter 767 - Encounter with the Amish

Xiao Peng and Barton returned to Williamstown first, and Xiao Peng checked out and said goodbye to Kate.

Kate reluctantly said, "Xiao, you're leaving? doesn't that mean I won't be able to drink such delicious broth again?"

Emilia and Alacey just walked out, finally not nauseous, listening to Kate's words, the two retched together, Kate was puzzled: "What's wrong with them?"

Xiao Peng replied angrily: "Oh, they are pregnant!"

Kate looked shocked: "Wow, Xiao, congratulations, you are like our good neighbor." You're such a lucky man, both of them are very good. ”

Xiao Peng was speechless, how could he explain this?

By good neighbor, Kate is referring to Utah, which borders Arizona.

Utah is not a small state, there are 50 states in the Stars and Stripes, and Utah ranks 12th. But 80 percent of the state's inhabitants live in their capital, Salt Lake City, so you can imagine how sparsely populated the state is.

And the most famous thing in Utah is not their Utah Jazz, but their Mormonism, where more than 70% of the inhabitants are Mormons! And the most talked about Mormons is their polygamy, although this system has been abolished since 1890, but to this day, polygamy still exists in Utah. Xiao Peng was mistaken for a Mormon by Kate, and Emilia and Alyse were his two wives.

Xiao Peng shrugged, simply didn't explain, said goodbye to Kate directly, unloaded the big Harley from the pickup, let Arecy drive along Route 66 slowly, threw the purchased gramophone on the saddle, and followed Barton and them on the cruise. Hundreds of heavy machines from several motorcycle clubs galloped together on Route 66, feeling really cool, Xiao Peng can understand why so many people in the Stars and Stripes Kingdom like to play motorcycles, this momentum is really amazing.

The convoy had traveled at least 100 kilometers along Route 66 before it stopped, and the riders parked on the side of the road, took out beer sandwiches, ate and drank on the side of the road, and chatted happily.

Barton handed Xiao Peng a bottle of beer: "Xiao, to be honest, I really don't want you to go." You saved my Emily and made so many delicacies. Damn, you might not believe me when I say something, but I miss the smell of Asian carp now, can you believe it?"

Xiao Peng replied with a smile: "Of course I believe it, I am still very confident in my cooking skills." ”

Barton took out a box from the storage box and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, this is a send-off gift for you." ”

Xiao Peng looked at it: "Wow, Barton, this is a good thing." "Inside the box was a bottle of Johnnie Walker's Green Label whisky.

If you want to say that the whisky that Chinese people are most familiar with, I am afraid it is Johnnie Walker. Most traditional Scotch whisky is in round bottles, with the exception of Johnnie Walker, which uses square bottles as their containers. The 'black' and 'red' that the Chinese people say all day long are its black cards and red cards.

There are five 'sides' under Johnnie Walker: red, black, green, gold and blue. The main differences between the five whiskies are: the color of the label, the amount of time it has been aged in oak barrels, the ingredients used to make it, the taste and, well, the price.

But Johnnie Walker's five whiskies have covered everything from low-priced commoners to high-end luxury. As long as you want to drink Scotch whisky, you can always find the one that suits you from these 'five directions'.

Europeans and Americans do not drink as luxuriously as Chinese, brandy and whiskey can be easily bought on the streets and alleys, and generally only when there is a big job promotion or marriage and childbirth, drunkards will solemnly open a bottle of good whiskey.

In fact, this green party is not a high-end wine in Johnnie Walker, but belongs to the mid-range, and the price of Johnnie Walker's five parties is red, black, green, gold, and blue from low to high, but the green side is almost discontinued now, and this wine is not common. Just like in the movie "This Man Comes from Earth", a group of university professors sat in a room that had been vacated, just drinking this wine and chatting about history, religion, culture and other issues for 90 minutes. If it weren't for a good enough bottle of wine, it's hard to imagine how they could have a conversation.

Barton smiled: "This bottle of wine was bought by George when he got married, but he was so happy that day that he forgot about it, so he was able to keep it until today, and now I will give it to you." ”

Xiao Peng was not polite, and took the wine bottle: "Coincidentally, I also have a gift for you." With that, he pulled out a large envelope from his bag and handed it to Barton.

"What is this?" Barton took the letter, opened it, and saw a stack of money first: "What is this?" Barton was puzzled.

Xiao Peng explained: "You help my contact sell the motorcycle, this is a commission. ”

"How can this work?" Barton hurriedly waved his hand back.

Xiao Peng smiled: "You know, that motorcycle was obtained from the warehouse auction, and the warehouse auction has such an unwritten rule, that is, there will be a commission of 10% for helping to deal with things." That's your commission, don't you all say, 'Favors to favors, business to business'? Besides, there is also a recipe for Asian carp, which was given to Jane. This time I was in a hurry, and I didn't have any preparations, and I will go back and make up for their gifts in the future. ”

Barton held the envelope, not knowing what to say, Xiao Peng smiled: "We Huaxia people are like this, friends come with good wine, enemies come with shotguns, Barton, when I had a dispute with Randy that day, you spoke up, and at that time I decided to thank you well, God said, good people have good rewards, right?"

Barton wanted to say something, but Xiao Peng waved his hand: "I should go, Emilia and they are here." In the distance of the road, a red pickup truck drove up, it was Emilia and Alessi. Several members of the 'Bear Hunters' who had met together at Barton's house were reluctant to say goodbye to Xiao Peng, but when they knew that Xiao Peng had given Barton the recipe on how to make those dishes, they instantly threw Xiao Peng aside, and had already made an appointment with Barton about when they would go to his house next time. Well, you foodies, I'm convinced!

After Emilia and them came, everyone helped Xiao Peng to put the big Harley on the pickup truck and reinforced, Xiao Peng waved goodbye to everyone, and drove the car with the second daughter to continue the journey.

According to Barton, the next stop is not far from here, and is the town of Winslow, which is still sixty miles away. It's normal to have a town with the same name in the Stars and Stripes, and there's also a Winslow town on the Philadelphia side. But the gap between the two Winslow towns is not ordinary, and Winslow Town in Arizona is a standard desert town, and as far as the eye can see, it is yellow.

It wasn't famous, but the Eagles included Winslow in their famous song "Take It Easy" and the town began to bustle. However, with the fall of Route 66, it began to fall into disuse.

Xiao Peng drove the car, Emilia and Alacey sat in the back row, obviously lacking in energy, it seems that the snake soup in the morning is still very lethal to them, Xiao Peng pouted: "It's really useless, such a delicious snake soup is so wasted, I will never give you any more food in the future." Let's eat a sandwich!"

When Alacy heard this, she shook her head desperately: "Don't, can you cook something else to eat." ”

Emilia also nodded on the side: "Yes, we can eat anything else, except for snakes, snakes are terrible." ”

Xiao Peng smiled evilly: "Are you really sure?"

The two women nodded firmly. Xiao Peng laughed: "You don't know much about Chinese food, there are almost nothing that you can't eat in Huaxia: mice, bats, mountain mice, insects, hairy eggs。。。。。。 There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that Chinese people can't eat. ”

After Xiao Peng finished speaking, the two women made the same move: opened the car window, poked their heads out, and vomited wildly.

The gramophone box placed in the co-pilot also rattled loudly, which contrasted with the vomiting city of the two girls in the back row, well, it was also very rhythmic, Xiao Peng smiled evilly. How dare you waste the food I made? How could Xiao Peng let them go so easily?

The gramophone box placed on the side kept ringing with the bumps of the vehicle, and Xiao Peng's obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to be committed, what parts fell out of it?

Xiao Peng let the noise make him unable to concentrate, and he kept hesitating whether to stop the car and check the gramophone. Emilia suddenly pointed ahead: "Xiao Peng, someone needs help!"

Xiao Peng hurriedly put his attention to the front, and after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Amilia, are we driving into the time tunnel?

It's no wonder that Xiao Peng asked, Emilia was indeed right, there were indeed people waving to them on the side of the road in front of them, but these people were dressed too strangely, the man wore a top hat, a shirt and suspenders, the woman wore a long skirt, a lot of lace, muslin and ribbons were used on the long skirt, and she was wearing a big black hat with a beautiful bow on the hat, and the skirt was cut in a multi-layered cake way, and a little girl next to her was dressed similarly to her, looking like a family of three. How does Xiao Peng look and feel that this costume looks like it is in nineteenth-century England, this is the resurrection of Sherlock Holmes?

What puzzled Xiao Peng the most was that their car turned out to be a carriage! And it was obvious that there was something wrong with the carriage, and the quarthorse pulling the cart was grazing comfortably on the side. What's going on? Making a movie?

Xiao Peng looked left and right: "Amilia, help me see, are there any cameras or anything like that nearby, is this a movie?"

Emilia gave him a blank look: "What do you think? It's not a movie, they're Amish!"
