The house on the top of the hill has no courtyard walls, only a small yard, and two couples are waiting for them at the entrance of the yard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Steve introduced Li Du to Li Du, saying that this is a family of four, the whole family name is Wade, and he was hired by him to help take care of Turtle Island, after all, he usually does not live here.

The annual expenditure of a family of four is 500,000 Australian dollars, which is one of the expenses of raising the island, the owner does not live here, and has to hire people to guard it, and these people are not cheaply paid.

Guarding an island is not simply staying on the island and sleeping all day, there is a lot of work waiting for them.

They need to tidy up the vineyards, take care of the lawn, and take care of the hygiene, which is enough to keep them busy all day long.

Living on such an island almost isolated from the mainland, security is a hidden danger, and everyone knows that it is the rich who can afford to buy a private island, and the rich must have something valuable in their houses.

Therefore, such private islands are often visited by thieves, and it is impossible to live here without courage and ability.

Heavy farm work, solitude, and a dangerous atmosphere, all of this combined means that you have to pay a high salary so that someone has a reason to work.

Li Du greeted the four of them and then entered the house.

The house is a three-storey cottage in a quaint style with wooden beams, cast-iron chandeliers, wood furniture, and a large fireplace, giving it a rustic feel.

Due to the height of the house, the view is very good, and the restaurant is adjacent to a large floor-to-ceiling window that allows you to see the vineyards and the waves outside the island.

The red and purple grapes, the yellow-brown grape leaves, the scarecrows in the grape fields blown by the sea breeze, the blue sea, and the snow-white seabirds, Li Du sighed: "The scenery alone is enough for me to eat a meal." ”

"It's a good accompaniment, and if you want to eat, I've got food here. Steve laughed proudly.

They had been in the helicopter in the morning, and they hadn't eaten yet, and Steve had called ahead of time to say that the two Mrs. Wade had prepared a lot of food for them.

"Everything here is sourced directly from the local area, with flathead fish, snapper, bream and silver bream coming ashore five hours before the landing, and crayfish, green prawns and scallops coming ashore less than two hours later. Mr. Wade said.

Li Du said: "Thank you so much for your help, it's really troublesome for you." ”

Mr. Wade brought two bottles of wine, then nodded politely and said, "This is what we should do, gentlemen, please enjoy slowly." ”

Elson opened the wine and poured half a glass for each of them.

Li Du shook his wine glass, the well-proportioned wine hung on the wall of the glass and slowly trickled, he raised the wine glass and smiled: "Come, thank our good buddy Steve for his hospitality." ”

Everyone clinked glasses, enjoyed the warm autumn sunshine in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, drank homemade wine from local grapes, and served a plate of delicious food, everything was perfect.

Da Ao raised a glass to Li Du alone and sighed: "Boss, before following you, I never had the luxury of hoping that one day I could enjoy life like this. ”

Li Du smiled: "When we buy Shaou Island, we will build a better manor on it, and I promise you that there will be a house that belongs to you." ”

Ooku puffed up his chest, his dark face full of longing.

The first dish was grilled stone perch, and Mrs. Wade was served with candied fennel and red pestles, green bean soup and soft herbs.

There are also grilled oysters, which are very fresh and are best served ashore with chopped sausages.

There are also some dishes that Li Du has never seen, and Steve introduced him to one, which is crispy barramundi with stir-fried spinach, capers, and fennel sauce, which tastes luscious.

Later, Mrs. Wade sent her homemade salmon fillet, which is made of finely ground mustard, honey and sesame oil, which is rich in flavor and unforgettable.

After a morning and half an afternoon on the helicopter, they were all hungry, and the food, wine and beautiful scenery made the group eat to their heart's content.

Steve kept introducing them to what to eat and drink: "Come, try the lasagna-style coconut Mergill shrimp, which is served with fried barramundi with champagne cream sauce, I bet no one can refuse such a delicacy......"

"And fish and chips, Mrs. Wade's specialty, which I eat with my tongue every time......"

"One more drink, let's celebrate this reunion, Li, I'm very close to you, a toast to fate!"

"Cheers!" Li Du raised his glass.

After eating, they walked in a circle along the island, and there was a walking path around the periphery of the island, paved with wooden planks, and golden leaves fluttering on it, which had a poetic feeling.

Wade's family picked grapes, and Li Du had nothing to do, so he followed them to push a cart to pick grapes.

These grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon and White Commander, which are specially used to make wine, and they are not delicious at all when eaten raw.

I simply picked one of the noodles and stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it twice and spit it out, spitting out like a child.

Li Du also tasted one, the taste was a little sour, and it couldn't be compared with the sapphire finger grapes on Shaou Island.

Picking grapes is not a simple task, because you have to classify these grapes, which ones can be kept for winemaking, and which ones are useless to be thrown away, and the grapes that make wine have to be graded, and the value of the wine made from different grades of grapes is different.

Steve beckoned him to go fishing, and when Li Du asked Hans if he wanted to go, Hans shook his head and said, "I fish every day on Shaou Island, so it's more interesting to stay here and pick grapes." ”

Da Ao smiled: "Actually, in addition to fishing, we pick grapes every day, which is similar to life here. ”

Since the two were not interested, Li Du put down the scissors and the small cart and took Sixiao to fish.

The four are not interested in fishing, but they are interested in staying here and picking grapes.

Meow jumped on the sturdy old vine and with a wave of her sharp claws, a bunch of grapes fell.

Ah Yu stayed down and waited, the grapes fell, it quickly shook its head, it could bite the grape handle accurately, lowered its head and put it down, and a bunch of grapes fell to the ground.

Ali's little paws can lift grapes, he supports the ground with his thick tail, and with his paws he lifts a bunch of grapes and jumps up to the cart, and drops the grapes with a vigorous jump, although it will break a few pieces, but it does put them in the cart.

Seeing this, Mr. Wade was amazed, and he said, "This is your pet? They are simply island elves, too smart, aren't they?"

Li Du smiled: "Actually, they are elves, elves who pick grapes. ”
