388 Candy Paradise
"Wow, thank you. "Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Li said happily, "I can handle it, but thank you." Before my hubris went haywire, someone managed to save my face, and that's a good thing. ”
The self-teasing tone managed to make Melanie laugh out loud, "Fourteen, you're such an interesting guy, not at all like you're from Asia. ”
"Melanie, you don't look like an American at all, after all, you're so humorous." Lu Li's retort and counterattack caused laughter to echo on both sides of the street.
Walking from the door of the store to the rear body of the Raptor was just a few simple steps, Lu Li put the boxes in the back body, and then Justin also put the boxes down one by one, "Is this all?" Justin asked in a deep voice.
"No, that's just the beginning." Lu Li rolled up his sleeves, waved his hand at Justin, beckoned Justin to walk back to the store together, and then moved all the boxes out one by one. Then strangers passing by joined in and began to help - yes, there were so many boxes.
Finally, the Raptor had fourteen boxes in the back of its body. Although the chests were large and small, Melanie was divided into categories according to different props and installed fourteen boxes, but the number of boxes was still extremely amazing, and everyone stopped and talked about it.
It's a small town, a very small town. Any little novelty could spark onlookers in a few nearby neighborhoods.
"God, Fourteen, did you emptie Melanie's shop?"
"Don't you tell me it's all Halloween purchases? This...... Is this crazy? ”
"Fourteen, what are you going to do? Melanie, do you have an idea? ”
……
In the midst of the bustling discussions, Lu Li showed a bright smile and said loudly, "Adventure Paradise." For Halloween, I'm going to build an adventure park at Cloud Ranch, all by hand, not as good as Disneyland, but I do look forward to one. ”
"Wow!" The crowd began to marvel and talk about it one after another.
"The whole town is welcome, but only if they have a way to get from the town to the ranch." Lu Li's ridicule made everyone laugh collectively. Cloud Peak Ranch is very close to the town, only fifteen to twenty minutes away by car, but for children, such a distance is still too far away.
Lu Li then added, "But! Because everyone's laughter was so joyful, Lu Li had to repeat it again to attract everyone's attention, "However, adults are also welcome to go to the adventure park." I'm an adult, and I'm just going to get in the Halloween spirit. I've just picked out my own outfit with Melanie's help, so I'm looking forward to having some grown-ups join me in and be stupid with me, so that I don't look so old among the kids. ”
"Hahahaha." Everyone clapped and laughed, Lu Li raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Edward in the crowd - Edward of the construction team, the construction of the ranch has been successfully completed, but Edward will occasionally run to the ranch, which is called to check the safety of the project, but in fact, he has eaten and drunk in the past.
"Edward, I've got my sights on you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Clouds Ranch on Halloween and experiencing an adventure park." Lu Li shrugged, "Unless you feel that you are too scared; Or maybe I couldn't pass the level I set and lost to the kids. ”
As soon as this agitation method came out, even though Lu Li's intention was extremely obvious, the onlookers still coaxed, "Edward! Edward! Edward! ”
Edward suddenly became difficult to ride the tiger, looking at Lu Li speechlessly, unwilling to admit defeat, but he didn't want to bow his head, in a hurry, he could only shout, "If you go, then I will go." ”
Halloween is now a holiday for kids and nerds. Except for children, only those unsocial geeks and otaku will dress up for Halloween. In the general eyes of society, this is not only immature and ignorant, but also an object of social exclusion and social isolation.
Especially in Texas. Cowboys are tough guys, not to mention putting on makeup for Halloween, and even changing out of that plaid shirt is incredibly difficult. What's more, cowboys don't want to behave like kids either.
Edward's counterattack succeeded in diverting everyone's attention, tweeting his opinions, and then dispersed one after another, hiding in the crowd, and Edward also fled. It seemed that as long as he continued to stay, Lu Li would forcibly pull him to the Cloud Peak Ranch.
Looking at Edward's back, Lu Li couldn't help laughing heartily, and when he turned his head, he found that Justin was still standing next to him and hadn't left. "What, are you going to go to the ranch for Halloween?"
Lu Li was just joking, but he didn't expect that Justin nodded, "Yes." This time, Lu Li showed a look of surprise, and Justin couldn't help but explain, "I think Finley will definitely like it." ”
Lu Li suddenly realized, but the gaze that fell on Justin became playful. Justin is a hard man, and he doesn't even have too many words, but he didn't expect that he is such a gentle and delicate man in his bones.
Under Lu Li's gaze, Justin looked calm and did not show any fluster, which made Lu Li smile, "I also think that Finley will like it." ”
Justin didn't say anything more and changed the subject, "You're going to build an adventure park?" After receiving Lu Li's affirmative answer, Justin continued, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”
"Of course!" Lu Li gave a definite answer without hesitation, and his expression became excited, "You know, I'm going to build some shelves, set up lights, place clean smoke, and so on. Of course I need help, and lots and lots of help. Feel free to come over whenever you are free, we will have a lot of carpentry work to keep busy. ”
Justin looked at Lu Li in front of him seriously, and showed a shallow smile, "You can always bring surprises, I'm already looking forward to it now." ”
Texas is a relatively safe place, one might even say conservative. In daily life, there is always a lack of change, like a pool of stagnant water. But the problem is that people don't find it strange, they take it for granted. The rebels have fled the land and started a new life elsewhere, leaving only the recalcitrant group to continue to live here.
For Texas, that's a good thing. Because life on the farm is boring, and the busy farm work is always so similar and dull day after day, year after year, that it requires people to be able to calm down and repeat and repeat and repeat.
However, Justin felt that it was good to be like Lu Li, who occasionally brought some surprises, occasionally brought some changes, and a peaceful life with some ripples. At the very least, he can have something to look forward to.
Looking at Justin's almost expressionless face, Lu Li naturally had no way of knowing what was in his heart, he just waved his hand, "I'm going to the candy store next, this is a big project." You'll come to the ranch another day, and we'll talk about it. ”
After speaking, Lu Li walked briskly towards the street next door with brisk steps. Justin suddenly remembered one thing, "Fourteen, when will the ranch make gnocchi soup?" Let me know in advance. ”
Lu Li's footsteps didn't stop, just made an "OK" gesture and continued to move forward. When passing by the "Clown's House", Melanie was still standing at the door, and the excitement between her eyebrows still did not dissipate, "gnocchi soup? What is that? ”
"On Halloween, you are welcome to come and taste it for yourself." Lu Li said heartily, "I still owe you a thank you, thank you for your help today, you are really my savior." Not only did she help select all the props, but she also gave Lu Li a seven-fold discount.
Melanie's whole face bloomed, bright and brilliant, "I'm really going to go!" Halloween, for me, that's Christmas. ”
"Please, please come over by all means." Lu Li said as he continued to move forward, the distance between the two of them became farther and farther away, and then Lu Li heard Melanie's cheering voice, which instantly brightened his mood.
Push open the reddish-brown door, a sweet smell comes to your face, colorful colors fill every corner of the sight, and the dazzling array of candies makes people overwhelmed, and it is impossible to take a step.
Red, green, blue, black, orange, yellow, brown, colorful, candy...... It was as if God had accidentally knocked over the palette, and all the colors of the world were concentrated here, and this was the candy store.
In the United States, there are specialized candy stores. It sells all kinds of candies, as well as QQ candy, licorice candy, chocolate and other snacks, hundreds of different candies, which can definitely make people with phobia refuse to leave, and let those sweets lovers stay here all night.
This is heaven, a child's paradise.
Lu Li is not a person with a keen sweet tooth, and he is not attached to candy, but at this moment, he can hardly take a step, completely opening his eyes, "Welcome, is there anything I can help with?" A waiter with a pink headband and a pink tutu greeted him with a smile on his face.
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, "I know now, why is Charlie's chocolate factory so dreamy?" Why does every kid want to get that golden ticket? But his eyes were always looking at the colors around him, and he couldn't stop at all.
The waiter smiled brightly, "Now, you're standing at Charlie's Chocolate Factory, and you don't need a golden ticket." This made Lu Li laugh happily, "So, did you come here specifically to shop for Halloween?" ”
Lu Li nodded, "I need to buy candy, lots and lots of them." And, not just delicious, I also needed some hard, disgusting sweets as punishment. Lu Li felt that his eyes were about to be insufficient, "But I have to pack them separately to avoid myself being late, just like Harry Potter has eaten a strange bean with a snotty smell." ”
"You mean, licorice candy is so unpalatable, or is it ......?"
"I mean, the snot smells so bad."
