Back home.

Ah Huang, who was playing in the yard, ran over excitedly, shaking his head and tail, asking Chen Mo to comfort him.

Chen Mo rubbed its head, and Ah Hua next to it called again, raised his two front legs and pounced on Chen Mo, Hari Ha was angry......

"Well, rub your head too. Chen Mo smiled and soothed the two excited dogs.

Elson helped take the luggage down: "Boss, I'll go back." ”

"Well, come over for dinner in the evening and call Stephen, Angela, and Los. Chen Mo said.

"Okay, bye-bye. ”

Elson left, and Chen Mo led the family into the house.

"It's a big house...... Chen Mo's mother said.

"Super luxurious, only seen on TV. Chen Xiao entered the living room, looked left and right, and said with an exaggerated expression.

Chen Mo went to the refrigerator and got a drink, then went upstairs and arranged the room.

After allocating the room, Chen Mo went back to the room, took a shower and changed his clothes, and cheered himself up.

When Chen Mo washed and changed his clothes, he heard a knock on the door, and his mother's voice came from outside: "Chen Mo, where is the kitchen, is there any food at home?"

Chen Mo hurriedly opened the door and took his mother to the kitchen downstairs: "There is rice, beef, and watercress at home...... I went to the vegetable garden in the backyard and picked some vegetables and came back. ”

It hasn't been a month since the vegetables were planted in this vegetable garden. Bok choy, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes. One didn't pay attention, and the little cabbage grew up and turned into a big green. The vines of the green pepper trees are covered with small white flowers, and there are also small green peppers. Cucumbers grow the fastest, melon vines climb all over the shelves, and cucumbers of more than ten centimeters look particularly attractive. The other is the tomato, a fist-sized tomato, green with a hint of red, which can be eaten in a few days.

Chen Mo picked a few greens and a few cucumbers. There are also potatoes at home......

At noon, Chen Mo's mother made a hearty lunch and was about to start eating, when the sound of a sports car came from outside...... Drip, drip!

"Hi, Chen Mo. Stephen shouted outside the door.

Chen Mo walked out: "What's the matter?"

"It's Jeff's birthday, and I'm going to have a birthday party at the estate. Stephen walked over and looked into the living room.

Chen Mo invited Stephen in and briefly introduced: "My sister Chen Xiao, my father and mother, you know each other. His name is Stephen, he is a good friend of my master, and now he helps me manage the manor......"

"Sit down and eat. Chen Mo's mother greeted.

"Thank you, the main purpose of my visit is to eat for lunch. Stephen sat down and resumed the conversation. Jeff is one of the team leaders of the vineyard workers on the estate, and his wife came over for his birthday in Southern California......

"We'll be there for the birthday party in the evening...... Like, I haven't had dinner with the workers yet. ”

"It's not like, it's not at all. I'm also going to invite Zhang Feng and nearby neighbors, and I want the expenses for the dinner to be paid for by the manor, no problem?"

"Of course. Remember to order a big birthday cake for Jeff. ”

Stephen rolled his eyes, "You'll be able to help later." ”

After eating, Chen Mo took his family to visit the manor: "The manor left by Master Duanmu has 1,850 acres, 9 kilometers from north to south, and most of it is forest...... driving a pickup truck, bypassing Mount Alat, Chen Mo pointed to the forest in the north, and continued: "There were originally 200 acres of vineyards in the manor, with an annual output of about 1,500 tons of grapes. Another 700 acres of land have already been licensed for grape cultivation and are being reclaimed......"

"Do you need a planting permit to plant grapes?" Chen Mo's father asked puzzled.

"Just like in our country, the government also needs to approve the cutting down of trees in our own forests, which is a reason. ”

Coming to the old house in the canyon, there are several workers who are preparing for the banquet for the evening......

“Boss。 "Jeff is killing a sheep and preparing to roast it whole for the night.

Chen Mo nodded.

“Boss。 Several college students working on the estate shouted that they were here to help out in their spare time.

Chen Mo only knew a tall man with glasses, called Kanglaite: "Are you still used to living in the manor?"

"Good. "We love it...... here"

"That's good. Chen Mo said and introduced his family to everyone.

In the afternoon, Chen Mo's family stayed here to help, preparing barbecue meat and vegetables. In the evening, four barbecue grills were burned in the yard, and two roast whole sheep were set up.

Listen to Jeff that his mother is Mexican, and he inherited his mother's barbecue skills......

Not to mention, Jeff's roasted whole sheep looked like it, it started to roast after five o'clock, and after more than two hours, the mutton was roasted to a golden color, and the fragrance was strong, Chen Mo couldn't help but cut two pieces of meat and taste it.

"Mr. Chen!" When the dinner was about to start, the invited guests came in droves, and Zhang Feng was the first to arrive, holding a cigar in his hand, shouting with a smile, and handed Chen Mo one.

"Mr. Zhang. Chen Mo smiled and said, "This is my father...... Mother...... Younger sister. ”

"Brother Chen......"

There are quite a lot of guests coming.

Chen Mo only knew Angela and Loos, and Angela and Stephen had already lived together. Los and Elson are a couple, and it's not clear how they're developing, but they seem to be close......

The people I didn't know were all 'neighbors', there were winegrowers, two winery owners. It is said that it is neighbors, but in fact it is very far apart, mainly because of the sparse population of the Mount Verde region.

"This is Mr. Hawke, the owner of Kongscade Winery. Stephen highlighted one.

Hawke is about the same age as Stephen, with some gray hair and a large build.

"My boss, Chen Mo. ”

"Hello Mr. Chen Mo. Hawke held out his hand.

"Hello. Chen Mo shook hands with him, and then introduced Jeff. It's Jeff's birthday and it's his home ......

Kongscade Winery is very famous in the Verde Mountains, and some of the winery's most famous wines are sold for more than $100 a bottle.

'Didi ......'

Another car is coming.

"Hey, Chen Mo, long time no see. It was Jesse, and Lina and Jenny were also together, along with a man in a baseball cap: "My boyfriend, Howard." ”

"Hello. Chen Mo looked at Huo Dehua and smiled, then turned his head to look at Lina, and nodded: "Today is Jeff's birthday......

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Jesse smiled and said, "I know Jeff." In the days when you are away from the estate, our firm has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with your estate. ”

Strategic cooperation?

Chen Mo looked at Stephen suspiciously, and Stephen shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Dawei Law Firm has carried out its business in Napa County, and the tax issues of the manor will be handed over to them in the future." ”

Chen Mo laughed: "This is what you said about strategic cooperation......"

"For me. It was the biggest deal of my life. ”

"Well, congratulations. Chen Mo smiled and invited them to join the party.

"Thank you. Jesse laughed, and did the etiquette of a noble lady.

When the guests were almost there, everyone sang a happy birthday song, waited until Jeff and his wife cut the cake, and then the barbecue began.

First of all, the roasted whole lamb was roasted for more than two hours, and there were many people who came, and everyone could get a small plate, and they were full of praise after tasting it......

"Hi. Jesse walked up to Chen Mo with a plate and patted him on the shoulder: "Your chance is here again." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Mo asked, turning his head to help Jeff.

Jesse blinked and pulled him aside, "Lina is out of love again." This time, they really couldn't reconcile. ”

Chen Mo took a deep breath, frowned and looked at Jesse: "There is a very old profession in our country called matchmaker. I don't think you should be a lawyer, you should be a matchmaker. ”

Jesse's heart pounded, "I'm sorry, I'm troubled." Chen Mo's serious face looked quite scary.

Some people say that a person's temperament is directly proportional to how much money they have in their pocket, and when there is a certain amount of money, the person's temperament will also accumulate...... The temperament of the person who has become the superior can also be said to be the spirit of the king. In short, it's very bluffing......

"I did have feelings for Lina before, but ......"

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Chen Xiao grilled the beef ribs, picked up a piece and handed it to Chen Mo's mouth: "Brother, try the steak I baked." ”

Chen Mo looked bitter and rubbed his sister's hair: "The ribs you grilled are burnt." ”

"I feel good eating. ”

"You don't have a good sense of taste. ”

"Isn't this the one?"

"Jesse. Chen Mo said a simple name, pressed Chen Xiao's head, and said to Jesse with a smile: "My sister Chen Xiao." ”

"Hello......" Jesse said to Chen Xiao.

"Hello. Chen Xiao smiled and looked at Lina and them, where the young people at the dinner party were concentrated: "Brother, don't you want me to meet your friends?"
