"Neil, who is this? Someone Neil asked.

Neil smiled and replied, "Denzel, this is the Chinese man I said last time who helped me fix the wheels." ”

After listening to Neil's words, everyone looked at Xiao Peng with the wrong eyes. The life of the Amish people is all manual labor, and they have great admiration for those who are good at handwork.

Denzel's expression towards Xiao Peng became more intimate: "God, you are the skilled craftsman from Huaxia? Your skills in repairing that wheel are simply amazing, you must teach us how to do it this time, you can make such a strong wheel without a single nail, your craftsmanship is too good." I thought you were very old, I didn't expect you to be so young. ”

Everyone held the sedan chair, Xiao Peng said modestly: "Okay, let's say it, if you have time to go back, I will teach you this woodworking method of mortise and tenon structure, as long as you master the theory, you can apply it in all aspects in the future." Any furniture and the like can use such a mortise and tenon structure, which does not need nails and is strong. ”

Denzel hurriedly said, "Then thank you so much." ”

Neil smiled, "Denzel, let's get back to it, you see, what Xiao needs now is clean bathwater and good food." We'll talk about that later, shall we?"

Denzel nodded: "I have some homemade cheese and fresh spinach at home, which will be sent to you in a moment." ”

"Okay, thank you then. Neil thanked him.

Xiao Peng followed him to Neil's house, a beautiful cabin: "Anas, Barbara, who are you looking for?"

Anas was washing clothes on the grass at the door, and when he heard Neil's call, he raised his head and saw Xiao Peng's appearance: "Oh, Xiao, why are you so embarrassed?"

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard to say, I don't dare to look in the mirror for what you say, everyone I saw today asked me that." That's what Neil said to me first。。。。。。 ”

He really doesn't know how to explain it, he can't say that he was buried in the sand for a month, right?

Neil said, "Anas, Xiao encountered that sandstorm, it would be nice to come back alive, what about Barbara?"

"Oh God, Shaw, you're a man with a big life, and good people are rewarded! You survived such a sandstorm, God bless you! Neil, Barbara and her friends went to play. Came back in a moment. Anas replied.

Xiao Peng asked, "Neil, do you have any newspapers?" He wanted to know what had happened recently, but the Amish people didn't have televisions, so they had to ask if they had any newspapers.

Neil shrugged: "Uh, the last time we had a newspaper in our community was a year ago. ”

Anas smiled, "Xiao, I think you need to take a hot bath more now." ”

Neil also nodded: "Anas is right, there will be delicious food waiting for you when you finish your bath." ”

Xiao Peng looked at the mud and sand on his body: "Okay, Anas, what you said is too correct. "Xiao Peng is much better now than when he first climbed out of the sand pit, at that time he didn't know what was wrong, there was a layer of black mud on his body! Xiao Peng took a sand bath with the hot sand in the desert to get rid of the black things, but the result was that he became an earth monkey.

Neil said, "I'll go boil some hot water." ”

Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'll take a cold shower." ”

Neil took out a large bucket and ran to the well to fetch water, the life of the Amish people is truly a primitive life.

Xiao Peng carried the bucket and poured the water into a wooden bath bucket, and after receiving the water a few times, Xiao Peng ran into the water comfortably, I have to say, it is still comfortable in the water. Xiao Peng felt that every cell in his body had been rejuvenated. Seeing that 'Xiaomi' was dirty, he directly threw him into the bathtub for a good wash, uh, when Xiao Peng and Xiaomi finished taking a bath, the water in the bathtub was all yellow mud soup.

However, from a bathroom, you can also see the spirit of the Amish people's economy, there is a waterway that leads the bath water directly to the lawn outside the door, and the bath water can be used to water the ground and flowers, which is really economical.

After Xiao Peng washed up, there was really a hearty meal waiting for him. The clothes that Xiao Peng changed were also washed by Anas. In fact, Xiao Peng wanted to say that the clothes were gone, but the Amish people absolutely refused to waste them. Xiao Peng could only thank Anas for his kindness.

To be honest, the food of the Amish people really doesn't taste like Xiao Peng. It's called a light one, but it's almost always vegetarian. However, the original wheat bread tastes very good, absolutely does not contain any preservative additives or the like, and is very sweet.

"Don't the Amishi people eat meat?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Neil shook his head, "We eat meat too." But you know, we don't have a way to store fresh meat for a long time, only air-dried beef, and Anas is taking care of it for you, so wait a minute. ”

Xiao Peng hurriedly nodded: "Air-dried beef is good, it is the existence of the 'military food of Genghis Khan'." I used to eat it a lot when I was back home. "Xiao Peng is really hungry, but as a carnivore, it always feels strange to have no meat to eat.

In the era of Genghis Khan, when the 100,000 Mongolian army washed Europe, it often put the air-dried beef in the skin of the calf and carried it on the horse, because of the small size, rich in nutrition, and not easy to spoil, so the air-dried beef is also known as the 'military food of Genghis Khan'.

Anas brought a plate of shredded beef: "Xiao, how about you taste it?"

Xiao Peng saw that the air-dried beef had been heated and sprinkled with sesame seeds, Xiao Peng tasted it, and it tasted really good. "Hmm, it does taste good, how is this done?"

Anas said: "Our method is to roast the beef and put it in the shade to dry naturally, and every year the community will kill the cow to eat it, what do you do in Huaxia?"

"Well, in fact, the practices are very similar, but our Chinese Tibetan air-dried beef is very distinctive, every autumn, cut the beef into strips, sprinkle with salt, pepper powder, chili powder, ginger powder, hang in a cool and ventilated place, natural air drying. However, this practice is most suitable for the alpine regions of Tibet. It doesn't taste that way when you make it somewhere else. Xiao Peng explained that heated air-dried beef always feels weird to eat。。。。。。

Xiao Peng took a bite of bread and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Neil, has anything new happened in the past month?"

Neil looked embarrassed: "Xiao, you're really asking the wrong person for this question, we Amish people don't care about things outside, if the only thing that makes us feel strange is that I don't know what's going on recently, there are a lot of people on Highway 66." I'm afraid there are more people traveling on Route 66 during this time than in the previous ten years combined. ”

"Ah, why is that?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Neil shrugged: "I don't know, but there are people coming to our community at two ends in three days, and it's nothing, it's just that the thief looked at it and turned around." There are a lot of people like this. People in our community are confused too. I didn't steal anything, I didn't visit, I just walked around. I don't know why they're doing this. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Maybe I'm curious about your Amixu culture." He didn't pay attention to it, Neil said that it was a tourist and not a policeman, it seems that things can only be inquired after going out, the Amish people are not only out of the world, this is simply out of the world.

Xiao Mi was nibbling on air-dried beef next to her, while Xiao Peng was eating it. Neil was stunned: "Xiao, haven't you eaten for a month?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "En, I haven't eaten well for a month." Xiao Peng didn't lie, he didn't know how he came over this month, after eating all the food stored in the Neil family, Xiao Peng patted his belly: "Okay, eat eighty percent full." ”

Hearing this, Neil only inhaled cool air.

Xiao Peng took out his tactical axe from his backpack: "Neil, let's go, I can't stay with you for long, I promise to do good things." You help me connect with people in your community and I teach them how to do carpentry. ”

Neil was stunned: "Xiao, why are you in such a hurry? ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "After all, I've been in the desert for a month, and many friends are also worried about me, aren't they?"

Neil nodded: "That's what you said, after all, you must have many friends who are worried about you, so you still have to teach us carpentry, it's too much of a delay for you." Or we'll talk about it later?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "In our ancient Chinese days, Confucius once said: 'If people have no faith, they don't know what they can do.'" If there is no big car and no small car, how can it be done?' The general meaning of this is that people cannot survive without integrity. This is the basic morality of our Chinese people. ”

Neil admired: "I have a better and better impression of you Chinese people. Okay, then let's not waste time, I'm going to organize everyone now. You wait here for me. After saying that, he trotted out, and Xiao Peng chatted with Anas, well, in fact, there was nothing to talk about, and they talked about the crops and the weather conditions over and over again, which is called an embarrassment, how simple are you Amishi people? Just let your wife be with other men, you are really relieved!

It didn't take long for Neil to run back: "Xiao, let's go, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Xiao Peng nodded and followed Neil to a relatively large building.

"Is this your church?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Neil replied, "Although we usually pray here, this is not a church, and we Amish people do not have a special church. ”

Xiao Peng nodded, and was startled when he entered the door, why are there so many people?

Neil laughed, "We Amish people make everything by our own hands, so I'm very interested in your handiwork of this mortise and tenon structure." ”

When Denzel saw Xiao Peng walk in, he raised his hand to greet him and said happily: "Xiao, we have been waiting for a long time. With that, the crowd all raised their hands, each holding an axe in his hand.

This startled Xiao Peng, damn it, this is the reincarnation of the Axe Gang?
