Chapter 90 [Maple Manor]
In the past, the Bison tribe ranked among the top ten in the entire Indian Union in terms of economic strength and military strength. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can't say that the family wealth reaches tens of billions of dollars, but the strength should not be underestimated, and there are basically real estate in any big city. As the most well-known summer resort in the whole of the United States, Maine is also home to the real estate of the Bison Tribe, a small stone estate. Just near the sea, we saw the famous Gulf of Maine, and then we went out to the Atlantic Ocean.
The name of this summer manor is Maple Manor, and as the name suggests, there are many ancient maple trees with a diameter of more than one meter. The estate is small in size and covers only ten acres of land, with a four-story stone castle built in 1820. Now it has a history of 100 years, although the manor is not big but the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of organs, there is a large family and other agricultural land in the park, and there is a greenhouse to grow vegetables and fruits.
Agricultural land is divided into two parts, one is farmland and one is pasture. Although the amount of agricultural produce produced in these agricultural fields is small, it is enough to supply the entire Maple Tree Estate. Therefore, during the whole one-month summer season, any grains and vegetables, fruits, meat products, egg products, and dairy products used by Lefu are all produced by Maple Manor, which are safe and reliable, green products, and organic products are safe to use.
In addition, the pine estate is close to the Bay of Maine, with the sea right out of the door, and there is a private beach half a kilometre long. It can be used by chiefs to relax on the beach with their families, and Maine is a place rich in seafood, which is exceptionally rich and of good quality, so eating seafood here is one of the most important parts of the whole diet.
Five days earlier, servants had already arrived at Maple Manor in advance to clean the room and tidy up the house. So when Lefu and his wife Marianne appeared in the manor, they could enter the room to rest and not have to worry about all the miscellaneous chores. The purpose of this visit is to relax, spend a good vacation, adjust your body and mind, and meet the next challenges is the most important thing.
Maple Castle is small and has no more than 20 rooms, but the castle is very comfortable to live in. It is also fully equipped and even has a small indoor swimming pool. There is a garden outside and a standard tennis court, since it is impossible for Marianne to do strenuous exercise now, it is still okay to take a walk in the garden and feel the breath of nature when she has nothing to do.
Add to that the temperature throughout Maine in the summer reaches around 25 degrees, and the sky is clear, with few rainy days. The thunderstorm weather does not exceed 20 days a year, which is very suitable for escaping the heat and enjoying the coolness, and there are many items to play. Acadia National Park, along with the seafood specialties of the capital city of Portland, is a sight to behold, not to mention a month or a year.
Rested in the manor for the night, and woke up the next morning with a sunny day. When you open the window of the master bedroom, you can see a very tall red pine not far from the window, and there are several pairs of cute little squirrels living on the pine trees. Since the pine trees are more than 100 years old, the pine cones are so lush that they can support several squirrels in one tree.
Can you imagine, to what extent? Plus the birds in the trees are chirping non-stop. The pure air blowing in the sea breeze makes people feel very comfortable, very comfortable, and it is a healing holy place. At this time, seeing the squirrel bumping on the red pine, standing on the branch and looking curiously at Marianne who opened the window, Marianne felt very surprised, and said excitedly to Lefu on the bed with a look of surprise.
"Husband, get up, get up, you see there are squirrels, fat squirrels are very big, and they are not afraid of humans, come and see."
At this time, Lefou, who was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette, saw the surprised Marianne, shook his head and said with a wry smile. "My wife! You're not stupid! These squirrels are all bred on Maple Estate, and of course they are not afraid of people. The little red cabinet by the window, and when I opened the first drawer, there were packets of peanuts, sunflower seeds, pine nuts and almonds, all for the squirrels. When I open the window in the morning, I see cute squirrels, feeding them is also a life mood, hahahaha. ”
Marianne followed Love's instructions and opened the drawer, and saw the peeled nuts there. Then he took out a bag of peanuts and carefully handed it to a chubby squirrel who was close at hand, but the little one was very bold, and jumped onto the windowsill with a vertical leap. Then it turned out that Marianne you came over with peanuts, with two little hands to eat frantically, very skillfully stuffed the peanuts into her cheek pouch.
Then he began to play Mary for something delicious, and at this time, the chubby squirrel caught the attention of the other squirrels. For a time, the rats rioted, and a dozen squirrels, large and small, were gathered on the windowsill, which made Marianne very happy. Nuts are sprinkled on the windowsill for squirrels to eat freely, and even a few Angry Birds fly nearby, among which the protagonist American Cardinal chirps to pick up food next to the maple tree. The squirrels don't care that these cardinals disturb their breakfast, the two sides may live together, and after a long time, there is a certain tacit understanding, you eat yours, I eat mine without interfering with each other.
There were even daring squirrels who jumped from the windowsill into the house, squatting on the floor and looking curiously at Lefu who was lying on the bed smoking a cigarette. The little guy's chubby and cute appearance was very cute, and Lefu didn't care about smiling and holding his cigar, when the phone rang. Lefu picked up the phone casually, and Mr. Abdul-Jabbar's words came from it.
"Sir, breakfast is ready, do you and Madame come down to eat?"
Lefu smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Abdul-Jabbar will come down in ten minutes." ”
Then after hanging up the phone, Lefu lifted the quilt and got up and took half a cigar to the cloakroom to get dressed. He also did not forget to greet Marianne, who was happy to play with the squirrels on the windowsill, to dress and go downstairs to eat. Some people may say that the old housekeeper who is dozens of years old does not understand the rules? The ironed newspaper and breakfast should be brought to the host's room, so that the host and his wife can sit on the bed and enjoy a delicious breakfast, which is what a housekeeper should do.
Instead of calling his master to come downstairs for dinner, yes, Mr. Abdul-Jabbar used to do the same. But since Lefou's became the chief to win over Marianne, this rule has changed, and breakfast time is always called to inform you. Instead of bringing breakfast to the room for the host to enjoy, the specific reason for the change is very well understood, so I won't explain too much.
Playing with the squirrel, Marianne went to the cloakroom, got dressed, took Lefou's arm, and walked down the wooden staircase. I came to the restaurant on the first floor for breakfast, the content of breakfast is very rich, there are traditional Indian food polenta, corn tortillas. A variety of jams made from natural berries, especially blueberry jam Marianne favorites.
There are a few Chinese delicacies, such as chaos, xiaolongbao, and even two bowls of ginger and milk. Ginger milk is made of buffalo and ginger, slightly spicy but very warm stomach, pregnant women eat a small bowl is particularly good, warm and nutritious.
