34. Lazy afternoons
His little daughter is extremely beautiful and likes to wear princess dresses, and it is said that all the little boys in the kindergarten like to sit around her, and yes, she is about to turn six.
Jenner's construction team arrived at the ranch in the afternoon and began surveying the materials to buy.
Emperor Wu went to the straw hat ranch to borrow a sowing cart, the rancher Benjamin was very enthusiastic, and gave Emperor Wu two large bags of home-grown potatoes, the potatoes were very large, Benjamin proudly said that his agricultural products had not used chemical fertilizers, pure natural and pollution-free.
Emperor Wu also had the idea of opening up a small farm in the pasture, not seeking to sell to make money, only seeking self-sufficiency, about farming, Emperor Wu knew nothing, and could only wait until his parents arrived in Australia.
With the planting cart, everything is much easier.
Emperor Wu has never driven a special vehicle, but he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
The car was very slow, a big red steel monster, a bit like a forklift and a tractor combined, with two huge front wheels taller than an adult, and the rear wheels smaller than a meter in diameter, very small.
The open-air cab is between the front and rear wheels, the door is open very high, one and a half meters from the ground, sitting on it has a sense of monarchy in the world, you need to jump on it with the help of pedals, it is still a double row of seats, the holster is polished and shiny, but the maintenance is good, the cab is very clean, except for a faint smell of tobacco.
This big monster is not good at running, the speed is up to 50, and the horizontal exhaust pipe of the car is different, its two stout exhaust pipes are perpendicular to the ground, and Emperor Wu called this "day-to-day exhaust pipe". It took nearly two hours to drive back to the pasture, but fortunately the surrounding countryside was good, otherwise Emperor Wu would have been furious.
He plans to use a small plot of land as a test plot to see how well the seeds are sown.
Andrew, a bearded man who was checking the state of land renovation in the distance, called out to Emperor Wu.
"Hey, can you handle this big guy?"
Emperor Wu sat in the cab and beckoned to him with a smile, the mystery of which the bearded man did not understand.
Emperor Wu felt like a leisurely old man in Australia, there will be a lot of this kind of time in the future, lazy in the sun, simply let go of the steering wheel with both hands, stuck on it with a stick, and waited until the turn to make two laps of direction, so that the car moved forward slowly at a speed of 20 miles.
The sowing method of this car is quite rich, you can spray to both sides or backwards, and you can also spray fancy spraying, spraying in all directions with the cab as the center, which looks nervous, like a leaky balloon.
The big monster carpeted and sprayed in the pasture, round and round, and he folded his hands behind his head as pillows, not to mention how comfortable it was to lie on the soft car seat!
After sowing the test field, Emperor Wu stopped and jumped down to check, the effect was not bad, the seeds were sprayed very evenly, so start work on a large scale!
Emperor Wu drove the cart to the warehouse and threw all the grass seeds into the dump of the planting cart, and these improved seeds were about to be sprinkled on the Nanao pasture, which will be food for cattle and sheep in the next few years.
The afternoon sun in Australia is not as dazzling as at noon, just like baking on a toaster, the air is full of the smell of grass, and after a few sips, the whole person is much more energetic.
In China, smog has become a permanent weather, except for heavy rainstorms, I have not heard of schools being closed due to the weather, and this kind of clear sky may not be seen in most cities.
The seeding truck sprayed in front of the big oak tree, Emperor Wu remembered the koala, this thing himself lived very steadily on the tree, there was nothing to hang during the day, nothing to hang at night, sleep all day, look up and eat the leaves when he was hungry, stretch his waist and continue to sleep, it is not fat who is fat!
Sitting in the "Tututu" car, Emperor Wu is about to fall asleep, the workload of one hundred and fifty acres of land is not large, but the speed of the sowing cart is 20 miles, it can't be finished in one afternoon, and it will continue tomorrow.
At five o'clock, the employees of "Wenfei" left work on time, they had finished the renovation of the entire ranch, and said goodbye to them, Emperor Wu parked the monster in the garage, checked the doors and windows, and prepared to go to the town for a good night.
I don't want to run to XN city today, continue to taste the original town life in Pelican Town, and strive to be a happy Pelican person. Although it is a small town, the nightlife is no worse than that of the city, although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of bars and clubs, and of course, they are all rustic.
Birds of prey arrived in town, and people carried all kinds of ingredients and walked home to prepare dinner.
Emperor Wu went to a bookstore-style cafΓ© today, this bookstore called "Close Friends" is very warm, and there is no signboard either, it is said that the original signboard was blown away in a storm, and people call it a bookstore, and if you ask any pelican about the bookstore, they will say oh, it's that bookstore.
Emperor Wu was also recommended by Tex to know this pure place to read books.
From the outside, it is an ordinary wooden house, with little attention on the outside, and you need to go around an open-air cloister to enter the door, with cream-colored wooden seats inside, and above the counter hang pictures of the three great short story writers, O'Henry, Maupassant, and Chekov.
The whole bookstore is very stylish, wafting with the smell of cappuccino.
Emperor Wu liked this kind of place to relax the mind, where a cup of coffee only costs a few Australian dollars, where the people who read books are very kind, and when young people with Asian faces come in, they will nod and smile.
"Hello young man, look at you are a new face, do you come here for a tourist, to be honest, very few Asians will not go to the Grand Theater and go to the bookstore in the suburbs to read books. The waiter whispered hello warmly and her smile was genuine.
Most of the people in the town don't yearn for the lively city life, they feel that life in Pelican Town is very fulfilling, in addition to going to work, usually fishing, playing football, drinking and chatting with friends, which is enough.
"I was good at finding beautiful places, and I came here. Emperor Wu said with a smile.
The waiter also smiled after hearing this, turned around and handed Emperor Wu a book, "Welcome to Pelican Town, this is a book that everyone here is willing to open." β
"Thank you. Emperor Wu took a look, and the title of the book was "Mia and Her Amusement Park", and the author was Brian.
Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning, this name was a little familiar.
The waiter smiled and said, "That's right, Mayor Brian was originally a children's writer. β
Emperor Wu suddenly realized that Brian was the mayor of Pelican Town, and children's writers could be officials, so could they be more willful.
At a small square table sat two girls in short skirts reading books, one with a full and firm figure and the other with a slender and slender figure.
So, Emperor Wu came forward to talk with innocent thoughts.
"Hey, don't mind if I sit here. Emperor Wu asked with a smile.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and the fair girl said of course she didn't mind.
It's good, life has taken the first step to meeting a girl.
"You don't look like locals. β
This is the most common opening sentence used by Emperor Wu after arriving in Australia, in order to show his identity as a landlord.
"If you're not mistaken, you're here for a tour. Emperor Wu continued.
"No, no, Tom, we are students at the University of Truth. β
Truth University is a prestigious university located in XN.
"You call me Tom? is that cat that always gets beaten up in Cat and Mouse? Emperor Wu spread his hands.
The busty girl said, "When you came in just now, my friend couldn't help but tell me, 'Look!' Tom Cruise is in!"
"I see. "Emperor Wu is in a good mood.
My Fair Girl's face turned red instantly, "My name is Abby, this is Amanda, from London, what about you Tom?"
"Tom Cruise Wu Di of China. β
Emperor Wu shook his head triumphantly, in the past 27 years, someone finally found that he was handsome! He still has more markets abroad, and domestic girls prefer pink and tender little fresh meat.
Abby was like a child, holding her cheeks in both hands, "Oh, China, we have a very good friend, she goes to China every year around February for a vacation, because it's the Chinese New Year, so she likes Chinese boys." β
After chatting for a while, Emperor Wu realized that these two girls were open on the outside and conservative on the inside, not bar girls who could open a room in a few words, which was very good, and Emperor Wu didn't want to mess with flowers and grass when he first arrived in Australia, just chatting together.
The three of them chatted very closely, Abby is a very simple girl, how simple is it? The kind of person who is abducted and trafficked by traffickers in minutes, Amanda is relatively mature, and it can be seen that she has a lot of emotional experience, unlike Abby, who is always shy when she sees boys.
Emperor Wu offered to take them to eat Southeast Asian food, and the two girls readily agreed.
Pelican Town has a handful of Southeast Asian immigrants, so Southeast Asian restaurants have become a sight.
It's a small restaurant, it's owned by a friend of Sandra's, and Southeast Asians are very united, whether they're from Myanmar, Cambodia or Malaysia, they spontaneously form small groups, and many small-town events they participate in as groups, such as the annual Pelican Games.
"I've seen a lot of restaurants that are small but have great tastes. Abby looked delighted.
Emperor Wu agrees with her words, the store is not the same as the taste.
After entering the restaurant, there is a strong Southeast Asian religious culture inside, and the waiters are all Southeast Asians, compared to the tall Westerners, they are short in stature, which makes Emperor Wu more intimate.
The waiter explained the dishes to the three of them in broken English, all in all, Thai cuisine is mainly seafood, fruits, vegetables, Burmese cuisine likes to be mixed with curry, Vietnam was originally a French colony, so Vietnamese cuisine has a romantic atmosphere of French food.
It was also the first time for Emperor Wu to eat authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, so follow the national dishes of Southeast Asian countries, such as Thai Tom Yum Soup, Singaporean Chili Crab, Philippine "Adobo", Cambodian "Amok", Brunei Nasi Lemak, Indonesian Satay and Padang Cuisine.
Although Abby and Amanda were not used to Southeast Asian food, they were still impressed by the aroma, and the three of them had a great time.
Amanda told Emperor Wu that next week was the anniversary of Truth University, and that she and Abby were members of the school choir and would be singing at the anniversary party.
"You choir?" Emperor Wu was surprised.
Abinu pouted, "Of course, do you think there's something wrong with our voices?"
Emperor Wu smiled, "That's not what I mean, I just think your college life is very rich." β
Amanda mysteriously told Emperor Wu that on the day of the school anniversary, there would be a lot of free pastries and snacks, and she would also meet excellent seniors, and she was ready to meet handsome guys.
Abby was silly and naΓ―ve, her curly pale yellow hair was shaking and she was thinking about what she was going to wear that day.
During a very pleasant dinner, Amanda and Abby invited Emperor Wu to the anniversary party at Truth University, where they applauded their performance.
"Is this a date, a wonderful night in Pelican Town?" said Emperor Wu quipped.
The two girls laughed sweetly, and Abby told Emperor Wu that they had come to Pelican Town to party with college friends, and that they could go over and play together if they didn't mind.
Emperor Wu waved his hand, feeling that it could be separated, it was just a chance encounter, but the school celebration party of Truth University a week later aroused his curiosity, and he planned to take a look at it then, after graduation, Emperor Wu missed the carefree days of college infinitely, and once wanted to go back to campus for graduate school.
