Chapter 476: Manny's Manor

Layla looked at her husband: "Husband, who are you talking about?"

Manny rolled his eyes: "Layla, you find a place to sit, wait for me, I'll go get something in the car." With that, he ran out and soon ran back again, still holding a magazine in his hand. "Layla, let's go. ”

At this time, at the table on Xiao Peng's side, Alke had just taken his seat, and before he could talk about the topic, he was interrupted by Manny: "Excuse me, excuse me, may I ask, are you Xiao Peng from Huaxia?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look behind him, there was a man and a woman standing, the man was about fifty years old, and the woman was only in her twenties, but she had a big belly, and she was at least seven or eight months pregnant. Look at the woman again, good guy, dressed up in fancy clothes, wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes with such a big belly, if such a pregnant woman is in Huaxia, it is really not far from being beaten----- don't you think about the child in your belly?

Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm Xiao Peng, don't you know what's the matter with you?"

Manny looked happy: "Mr. Xiao, my name is Manny Kaosibin, this is my wife Layla Milani! I'm your fan, can you sign it for me?" After speaking, he handed Xiao Peng a magazine, and Xiao Peng saw that it was the magazine "Famous Horses and Hounds", and the cover of this issue was a large photo of himself when he was riding a horse. Uh, it seems that you really met your own fans?

Xiao Peng took the magazine, signed his name, and asked casually: "Manny, are you a horse racing fan?"

Manny snorted: "Of course, I'm also a Prada fan, and I have several Prada jockey uniforms right now. To tell you the truth, the famous horse 'Tesio' is my grandfather's horse. During World War II, my great-grandfather sold 'Tesio' to Martin Benson because of the war. And our family has also come to live in the Stars and Stripes. Until my grandfather died, he regarded it as the greatest regret of his life. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "I can understand your grandfather's feelings. ”

Tesio is a big pear horse. Many people don't know much about this horse, because when he was alive, he experienced wars and other things, and his results were not very brilliant, and he only participated in fourteen races in his life and won fourteen championships.

Of course, there were a lot of competitions in those days, so in those days, this result was not very good, and the best ones could win hundreds of championships.

And the reason why Tesio is awesome is not because of his achievements, but because of his breeding power: his descendants are all awesome, and the famous horses in the horse racing world around the world, such as the 'Northland Dancer', 'New North', 'Eastern Emperor' and other excellent racehorses in the Stars and Stripes Country, are all his descendants, so to speak, at least 1/4 of the thoroughbred horses that survive now contain the blood of Tesio! Since 1985, the ancestors of all the champion horses of the famous Arc de Triomphe Race have been Tesso!

After Manny got the autograph, he looked at Xiao Peng, then at Alke, and suddenly grinned: "Mr. Xiao, I know why you came here today." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned. That's right, his lawsuit is not a trivial matter, since Manny knows him and says he is a fan, he will definitely know about it. Xiao Peng smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Manny said, "Mr. Xiao, no matter what the final result is, I don't think this is a good place. ”

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Oh, Manny, what do you mean by that?"

Manny explained: "After all, you are now on opposite sides of the law on a legal level, and if people see you meeting by chance in private, it will not help to resolve the current conflict between the two of you." ”

Padgio nodded after hearing this, the reason why he arranged for Xiao Peng and Alke to meet at this small event was also for this reason, that is, he hoped that the lawsuit would not be withdrawn after being told that the two parties had a private agreement. Now it has become such a table to talk about things, if people break out, it will have an impact on the image of both parties.

Manny hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "That's right, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Beltrie, I have a good idea. ”

Pagio asked, "What's a good idea?"

Manny said, "My house is in Newport Bay, otherwise the reason for holding a party at my house is to celebrate my wife's imminent birth, so that your meeting will be a matter of course." ”

Xiao Peng looked at Pagio, Pagio nodded, but Xiao Peng said, "Manny, this will cause you trouble, right?"

Manny smiled and waved his hand: "What's the trouble with this? Being able to have a party with my idol is the greatest happiness for me." Not everyone and fans have this honor, right?"

"Okay then, so be it. Pagio said, "Waiter, check out!"

Manny wanted to rush to pay the bill, but was rejected by Xiao Peng. The group headed to the parking lot, where a group of men and women had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Manny really brought Pagio and the others out, he was really happy.

Manny said, "So, you follow our car and go directly to my house, okay?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "This is a good idea!"

Manny directly beckoned everyone to get into the car, and Tilo wanted to follow, Manny waved his hand and said, "Tilo, I really want to invite you, but I'm afraid that your wife will make some mess of nonsense again, Tilo, I hope you can understand my troubles." ”

What else could Tilo say? Looking at Paula on the side, he could only sigh and leave, what a good thing this is in itself? I was lucky to find Pagio and Alg to participate in the event, it was originally a good opportunity for the car company to soar, but it turned out to be completely ruined by the unlucky girls!

This is really as his son said, he can only marry such a woman if he is brainless! Such a woman is really unwanted! Such a good situation has become what it is now? What the hell!

Fortunately, now my son is on Padgio's side, and because of Danny's relationship, they shouldn't retaliate against our car dealership, right? This may be the only good news, look at my son, and then look at this unreliable stepmother, what have I done!

And now, Manny is proudly driving the car in front of him, and Layla, who is sitting in the passenger seat, asks, "Honey, when did you become a horse fan?"

Manny laughed, "I didn't become a fan of horses at any point, right? What do I do? Shouldn't I, as a good advertiser, know all the news? Otherwise, like that stupid Paula, I can't make a connection! But I also want to thank her, if it wasn't for her, such a big pie wouldn't have hit me!"

Layla was overjoyed: "Husband, you are amazing! I'm so proud of you!"

Manny shook his head and continued: "By the way, when Xiao Peng looked at you just now, he noticed your high heels, and then frowned, it seems that he doesn't like it very much, you go back and change your shoes." ”

Layla was stunned: "Replace the shoes, are you not mistaken? What shoes do I have?"

Manny explained: "You don't know the Chinese people, the Chinese are extremely nervous about pregnant women, you see those Chinese confinement centers, they are specially used to serve pregnant women, in their culture, pregnant women have to be careful everywhere, some things can not be eaten, some things can not be worn, including high heels!"

Layla frowned: "Hmph, these ignorant Huaxia people!"

Manny snapped his eyes, "Are you going to be the next Paula?"

Layla was nervous when she heard this, and quickly shook her head: "Honey, I'm just talking!"

"Talk, I can't talk!" Manny accentuated, "If you mess me up, I'll kill you!"

Layla nodded, "I see! I'm not going to mess it up!"

Manny was a little relieved, drove carefully, and took Xiao Peng and his party to his home.

In other words, Manny's home is really not small, it is an independent small estate, including the green space covers an area of 70,000 square feet, that is, 6,500 square meters! Such a single-family estate is the favorite residence of the wealthy people of the Stars and Stripes. The large lawn feels so refreshing to step on.

It is said that the habit of foreigners like to plant lawns in front of their homes first originated in Europe, when almost every household was a piece of grass, and only people with status would take care of those grasses in an orderly manner.

With the development of society, this kind of lawn planting has become a necessary lesson for foreigners, especially white families. As long as there is open space at the entrance, it is generally planted with a lawn.

But don't underestimate this lawn, it's really a money-burning thing, many people just arrived in the Stars and Stripes country, see the neat green lawn cut by every household, and sigh very much that this is the life of a high-quality developed country. But when they also have a big lawn, they realize that this lawn is a big mountain that weighs on the heads of the people of the Stars and Stripes! It's not that rich people really don't necessarily grow it! That kind of lawn is not a lawn, it's money!

Take watering, for example, three times a week for twenty-five minutes, and once every other day when it's particularly hot, otherwise the grass will wilt and grow worms, and a 6,000-square-foot lawn costs at least $80 a month for watering! On a manor like Manny's house, the water bill is at least $800 a month. This is still a conservative estimate------ the larger the place, the more water will be watered.

You can't do such a thing yourself, right? It's better to just water, fertilize and kill insects, which need to be handled by special personnel, and the gardener's salary is 3,000 US dollars a month, and he has nothing to do to do lawn insect control and soil fertilization, which is another 20,000 US dollars a year. There are also fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, gardeners' tools, etc., the most annoying thing is to mow the grass, especially in the summer, twice a week, even with the most advanced mechanical lawn mower, Manny's lawn will take at least three days, and the consumption of oil and gasoline, a place as big as Manny's house, if you don't do anything in a year, 100,000 dollars will be thrown in!

And the lawn of this Stars and Stripes Country is particularly delicate, if you don't water it once and fertilize it once, you will immediately see your face, and you will look like it's about to die.

This is also intentional, the companies of the Stars and Spanglers only produce such delicate seeds, and fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are all specially designed for these seeds, naturally with the aim of extracting maximum profits. There was once a Chinese professor in agriculture who received funding from the government of the Stars and Stripes to cultivate a new variety of lawn that is resistant to drought and insects. This is a good thing, right? But there is no acceptance at all! In the end, it had to be shelved.

So you say if somebody contacts this new kind of lawn planting themselves? That's not okay either, because each community has its own planting standards, and you are only allowed to plant lawns that they prescribe grass seeds, in the name of protecting the ecological balance. But who knows what kind of economic conditions those seed companies are giving to these communities to make that happen?

And even if it is a problem to plant, all the maintenance work can only rely on yourself, and those companies that take care of the lawn will not serve the new varieties of lawn. For these reasons, the Stars and Stripes have better grass seeds, but only the people can only grow this kind of grass with 'princess disease'.

Of course, if you really want to talk about it, the Chinese are still wise. Generally speaking, Chinese people will pretend to plant lawns when they first arrive in the Stars and Stripes, and after a long time, they find that it is not cost-effective. It just so happens that the vegetables of the Stars and Stripes are expensive, and it just so happens that they take the door and plant vegetables and fruits after reclamation.

Now this ability of the Chinese people, in the eyes of the Stars and Stripes, has simply become the 'racial talent' of the Chinese people.

In fact, it is also very strange to say, the method of Chinese people to grow vegetables is very simple, plow the ground in the spring and sprinkle seeds, and the vegetables can be served on the table in less than a few months, achieving self-sufficiency. But foreigners don't have this talent, and even if they plow the ground, the end result may be weeds. Walking in the community of the Stars and Stripes, looking at the grapes, cucumbers, leeks, radishes and the like planted in front of someone's house, there is no doubt that it must be a Chinese person.

Of course, foreigners are not interested in growing vegetables, they are not as practical as the Chinese people, they will spend a lot of effort to grow flowers and plants in their yards, for them, it is more important to look good than to eat.

In the final analysis, this is a natural cycle, the Chinese people attach importance to food crops, drive the population to increase, and then continue to reclaim the land, and the population is also huge.

However, the small population of the West will also reduce the demand for food, which leads to their lack of enthusiasm for land use and lack of understanding of the relationship between population and land.

Anyway, the Chinese people have the genes of growing vegetables in their blood, and they can grow vegetables wherever they go! Now there are many Chinese people who go to Africa to teach the people there to do planting!

At present, in Kenya and other African countries, almost all Chinese are engaged in planting there, employing local people to plant corn, tea plantations, etc., helping local people solve the problem of food and clothing and employment, and can also earn a large amount of money.

And all this is due to the Chinese people's vegetable growing genes.

Well, to be precise, this ability of the Chinese people has also kept the Chinese people away from many diseases.
