Chapter 278: Western Goods
Hong Tao gave Wang Yonghong the car keys, asked her to go down and wait in the car first, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, swallowed it all into her lungs, and then sprayed out the obviously lightened smoke again. , feeling a burst of dizziness from lack of oxygen, this can be regarded as suppressing the little bit of lust that has just risen.
Just now, Hong Tao asked Wang Yonghong if she wanted to go to dinner first or send her home first, but her answer was that she was not in a hurry to go home, and her father was on a business trip again! What a standard invitation, although both legs were numb, but Hong Tao's third leg, which had just woken up for a few days, immediately cheered to his brain: She invited you, and there was no one at her house!
"Brother, you are still young! 14 years old is not yet 14 years old, as your guardian, I have the responsibility to let you grow up healthily, and you can't persecute child labor! Bear with it again! Get up early is not necessarily in good health, this life is still long, let's put our limited energy into infinite cultivation, good flowers are more than this one, there will be opportunities in the future!" After smoking a cigarette, Hong Tao used autosuggestion to educate the more impulsive part of the body, and then limped downstairs.
"Okay! I've shown you, you're a big smoker! You're still a big drunkard! These cigarettes were given to you by that foreigner? What kind of smoke is this, so thick?" Wang Yonghong in the passenger seat probably waited for Hong Tao to be a little impatient, and had already opened the small suitcase and rummaged through it, which also blamed Hong Tao for being too casual and gentle when he got along with them, his things were always thrown around, whoever took it turned over, and he had no scruples. At this time, Wang Yonghong was holding a bottle of red wine in one hand and a thick torpedo cigar in his mouth. It's a demonstration to Hong Tao.
“…… You're dying! If you hook out Lao Tzu's true fire and correct the Fa on the spot, you will be happy!" Hong Tao looked at Wang Yonghong's delicate lips with a big cigar in his mouth, and the hint in his heart just now seemed to have been done in vain. This scene is so seductive!
"It was brought to my uncle, does your dad like these, why don't you get some for your dad?" After taking two deep breaths of the cold air outside the window, Hong Tao suppressed the fire again, and then took the big cigar from Wang Yonghong's mouth.
"My dad doesn't smoke or drink, so it's not uncommon for you to do this, right. I took the tape, I'll give it to you after reading it, who let you take advantage of me just now. This is punishment!" Wang Yonghong didn't react when he saw Hong Tao, so he didn't make a fuss, put the wine bottle in the suitcase, and then closed the zipper. He patted his bag again. Said to Hong Tao angrily.
"Well, take it, what do you want to eat? Chocolate cake or go to the restaurant? Sing and sing hungry, right? Let you order it today!" Hong Tao moved the car, and while waiting for the water temperature to come up, he patted his pocket, indicating that he was an original wronged boss.
In the end, the two of them went to the pastry room of the Xinqiao Hotel to have a cake feast, at almost nine o'clock in the evening. Hong Tao sent Wang Yonghong home, and then drove home directly. It's a bit late to go to the shop for a bike ride at this point.
The next day was New Year's Day, a day off school holiday, Hong Tao ran out of home early, these days the Sun family in the yard is moving, all day long to make the yard like a garbage heap. Hong Tao knew that they were doing it on purpose, this was someone venting their anger, but Hong Tao didn't say anything, didn't say a word.
His goal has been achieved, and he finally helped his father coax away the family, and as for people's attitude, it is normal. In the past six months, I have not tossed people, the meter alone has broken four or five yuan, and the power is often cut off in the yard, although I know that it is the ghost of Hong Tao, but it is useless to catch the current situation.
As for Hong Tao's father, as soon as he saw that he had finally moved away from the family, he immediately went out with his schoolbag before dawn, no need to ask, he must have gone to arrest the unit leader of the remaining family. Hong Tao helped a little this time, and the achievements he achieved were mistaken by his father as his own non-stop running appeal, so his father not only did not worry, but became more tired.
For this result, Hong Tao has no problem, he is not a fairy, he didn't expect his father to be this idea, just run if you like to run, anyway, as long as you are happy in your heart, it is worth being tired, and it is difficult to buy happiness if you have money. Besides, in the previous life, my father ran for nearly ten years before it came to fruition, and now half of the task has been completed in just half a year, and my help is still effective, and it will definitely reduce my father's travel for several years.
After coming to the store, Hong Tao called the group of women upstairs down, and then helped him carry the two suitcases to Han Yan's office. As soon as Hong Tao entered the house, Han Xue, who was still settling accounts, immediately packed up the account book and then slipped away, and now the two sisters have found a way to deal with Hong Tao's harassment, that is, not to stay alone with him, or to throw Hong Tao alone in the house, or the two sisters will appear at the same time.
"Run a fart, you! If you run again, I'll deduct your salaries!" Looking at Han Xue who fled in the wilderness, Hong Tao was unwilling, their trick was too damaging, and they actually made themselves helpless, they could only be verbally frightened, but they were not afraid.
No one cares about himself, Hong Tao also does it, and Ralph's two big boxes are enough for him to work for half a day. Don't look at Ralph's good looks, his taste in buying things is really good, and at first glance, he is not improvised, he must have used his brain, at least from his point of view, to help Hong Tao think about what to procure, not exactly according to what Hong Tao said to simply follow the prescription.
The large suitcase contained most of the liquor, most of it red and white wine, a few bottles of whiskey and rum, and two small jars and a pile of tea and wine utensils. These bits and pieces Hong Tao didn't expect at the time, they should have been purchased by Ralph himself, such as stainless steel wine bottle stoppers that can be vacuumed, butterfly wing wine openers, wine knives, cup holders, etc., as for the two small jars, Hong Tao also knew what they were, which were specially used to drink Argentine yerba mate.
Yerba mate is known as a national treasure in Argentina, and in the local language, yerbamate means "fairy grass", which was first developed by the Indians of South America as a refreshing and nutritious drink. It is made from the leaves of a yerba mate tree in the Andes, the color is similar to our green tea, but the taste is more bitter, a bit of bitter tea, because the Argentines take beef and mutton as the staple food, and eat less vegetables, so local merchants deliberately make yerba mate into apple, lemon, orange flavor, whether it is a meal, after a meal can be drunk.
Hong Tao has been exposed to this information in his previous life, it is said that the Japanese are very interested in this thing, and have studied this plant, which is now rich in ydermate, green source acid, rutin, tannic acid and other components, and can detect up to 196 kinds of active substances, all of which are nutrients needed by the human body. These ingredients have the effects of removing cholesterol, lowering blood lipids, resisting scurvy, preventing diabetes, gastric ulcers, etc., and also have the effects of promoting blood circulation, refreshing the mind, helping sleep and calming the nerves, and inspiring the heart.
So Japan felt that it had picked up a treasure, and secretly transplanted the yerba mate tree back to the local area to plant, but unfortunately, leaving the Andes, which is known as the sacred mountain of South America, the yerba mate tree growing in Japan lost its original effect, and the leaves planted lacked many elements, which are not much different from ordinary leaves.
Different from the tea habits of European or Oriental people, the Yerba mate of Argentines has a unique style to drink. First you have to have a teapot, which is not porcelain or metal, but a gourd or a jar made of hardwood. According to the difference between rich and poor, the gourd or jar will be decorated with different things, and the general people are to get some carved on it, and the high-end yerba mate teapot will be inlaid with silver edges, and then wrapped in leather, carved out of various patterns, and even inlaid with gems, which is a handicraft.
When brewing yerba mate, you don't need to be able to boil water, which will destroy the nutrition and taste of yerba mate itself, and you need to use water below 8o degrees, and the brewing process is the same as when we brew Chinese tea. But when it is drunk, the locals drink yerba mate with a metal straw, and then several people gather around and talk while sucking. Of course, you can also pour it into a cup, which is more hygienic, but the Argentines resolutely do not, whether they come or not, they must use a straw, and they have to suck in turns, and when the water is gone, continue to suck!
The yerba mate jar that Ralph brought to Hong Tao is considered a fine product, and it is estimated that Ms. Jiang must have given him the idea, except for the lack of inlaid gems, there should be everything, obviously to slaughter Hong Tao. However, Hong Tao's knife was quite comfortable, there was no pain of bleeding at all, for the things he liked, it was worth some blood, and looking at the price on Ralph's list, it was not bleeding, it was only more than 3oo yuan, even if it was tripled, Hong Tao also felt that two was a bit less, and there should be ten or eight.
In addition to Yerba mate as a specialty, Argentina also has another specialty, and that is wine. In fact, Argentina is also the world's main wine producing area, the quality is also very good, and the output is also a lot, but in China it is not as well-known as France, Italy, Spain and other old producing areas. Since the vast majority of Argentines are descendants of European immigrants, especially Spaniards and Italians, the grape plantations here are basically the same as those in Europe, and the winemaking methods are no different.
