I've been thinking about treasures.

When Steward Erna went to Monterey, Han Xuan followed.

When he came to the town hall, the doorman knew him, leaned against the window and asked, "What is the matter?" Mayor Chester is not here, but has gone to the construction site of the road to inspect it. ”

"It's okay sir, I'm not here to find out where the library of Monterey's old materials is? I'd like to borrow some books on local history. ”

"The innermost room on the second floor, this one is in the hands of Miss Chloe from the Secretariat, and I called her to come over. ”

"Don't bother, I'll go to her by myself, where is the office......

Knock on the wooden door.

A woman's voice came from inside, "Who? ”

"Miss Chloe?"

Han Xuan asked, the other party looked to be in his twenties, wearing a brown-yellow official suit, brown-red hair, and bowed his head to write on a piece of paper.

The other party heard the child's voice and turned his head to look at him, "I am, is there something wrong with me?"

"Yes, I want to find some materials about Monterey before, the teacher gave us homework, and we haven't been here for a long time, so we are not very familiar with this place. Han Xuan ran the train with his mouth full, with a bright smile on his face, and the other party did not suspect it.

Chloe closed her pen and stood up, smiling: "Our Monterey town has the longest history around, the name Monterey existed before San Francisco and Los Angeles, it seems that you have to write a lot of things, but you should get a good score, right?"

"Of course, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Well, these people out there are"

"My parents don't worry about me coming alone, my fisherman. ”

"Look at these figures, they're all pretty handsome, boy. What kind of fishing ground is your home?"

"Gambo Sea Ranch. ”

"Oh my God, then you're not Han" Chloe looked left and right, leaning her head over, "Mr. Han's grandson of the SOS Group?"

"yes, feel free, you wouldn't be reading the morning paper, would you? ”

"What newspaper?"

“…… It's okay. ”

Take the key to open the door, and there are thirty or forty keys on a bunch of keys. Secretary Chloe also forgot which one it was, starting with the first one, but it happened that the last one was correct, she turned around and looked helpless, "It's really bad luck, if you start from the other side, you will be right directly." ”

"Ms. Chloe, isn't there anyone here on weekdays?"

There was a thin layer of ash on the ground, and people could still leave footprints on it. The air smelled of musty books, and the windows were tightly closed.

She was embarrassed to open it, and said, "Yes, no one has been here for a long time, basically most of the time you don't need it here, there is a new database in the basement, and now you are using that, go out and wait." I'll find someone to clean it up. ”

Han Xuan wanted to refuse, but the cobwebs on the shelves really made it difficult for him to start. Nodding: "Thank you, I'm sorry." ”

"It's all right, boy, I'm going to clean up before Christmas anyway, you can go to town first, I guess you'll be back in an hour. What kind of historical material do you want?"

"Native American and nineteenth-century sources. ”

"I'll help you find it, I'll come and get it later. ”

Chloe laughed.

When I came out of the pantry, I felt that the air was exceptionally fresh.

After taking two deep breaths, he said goodbye to her and went to the farmer's market to find Steward Ernah. He went there to buy groceries.

The town of Monterey is not big, a few steps from the market, just a short walk.

There are people in front of the market who are selling their own home-brewed red wine, and the locals more or less make their own wines, which are specially sold to travelers who come to visit.

Jason waved his hand and said that he didn't need it, and followed Han Xuan into the farmers' market, the smell of the sea came to his face, and the seafood he had just caught was not frozen, and it was directly sold on the ground in the open air.

The sardines, about 20 centimeters long, are piled up into small hills, and the shopkeeper is wearing bibs and galoshes and shouting for only $0.99 a pound.

Some stalls also buy cod, which lives in cold water and can be caught in California in the winter, but now fishermen only see it in the northern seas.

Britain has fought three wars with Iceland for this fish, which shows how much Westerners love cod, mainly in the Atlantic Ocean, the cod here in the Pacific Ocean is generally a little smaller in length, but there is also 1.8 meters, except for restaurants, no one buys the whole one, and the shopkeeper divides it into small pieces and sells it at $2.2 per pound.

More than ten centimeters long Dungenes crabs crawled in the basin in groups, and the stone crabs smaller than it next to them resigned themselves to staying in place, spitting bubbles.

The Broken Ditch lobster has two large pincers and weighs about a pound, such a heavy California Broken Ditch lobster will grow for ten years, and occasionally you can see some big guys, more than five pounds will grow for fifty years, and their fishing season is from September to March of the following year, and there are also in Monterey Bay.

"Blue-ringed octopus pet! It's only fifty dollars! Come and see, there's only one left!"

Walking forward and hearing someone shouting, Han Xuan had never heard that octopuses could be kept as pets, standing outside the crowd, sticking out his head and still couldn't see it, Jason saw his embarrassment, and helped him pick him up from behind and carry it on his shoulder, "Okay, right?"

"Well, thanks. Looking into the basin, a blue-ringed octopus covered with blue spots and more than 20 centimeters long moved its eight legs in unison, lying on the edge of the basin and was about to escape, when the shopkeeper pressed it into the water with a wooden stick, and ran out again tirelessly.

A tourist tried to touch it, but the shopkeeper rushed to stop it, "Don't touch it! It's poisonous." ”

"Poisonous, how can you be a pet!" cried out the tourist, frightened, to his feet.

"It's good if you don't touch it, as long as you don't get bitten, it's okay, I sell hundreds of them every year, how beautiful! Think about it! How cool it is to have a highly poisonous octopus as a pet!"

Some people are really tempted, "How to raise?"

"An aquarium, or a specialized octopus tank, a general basin like it is now, it will climb out. ”

Han Xuan stared at the octopus, and Loveless asked Jason to put himself down.

"You don't want to, but let's say okay, I have a phobia of intensity. Jason craned his neck and cried, "I want to hit a person when he sees a lot of pockmarks on his face." ”

“…… Don't worry, help me find the Erna housekeeper, there are too many people I can't see. ”

Glancing around, the gray-haired old man was easy to see, walked over and patted him on the back, Han Xuan asked, "What did you buy?"

"Some shellfish, and salmon, the chef at home has a good set of making salmon, I believe your parents will like it, something found?"

"Not yet, the people from the town hall are helping, Steward Elna, can we catch these seafood from our fishing farm?"

"Yes, the boat is being commissioned, and I should be able to try fishing tomorrow, and they asked me to buy some shrimp pots, and some tools, which I have to customize at the shop near Fisherman's Wharf." ”

"Let's go over after we buy it, and there is still fruit, where can I sell it?"

"It's right at the door, I know a shopkeeper, it's fresh" (To be continued.) )
