Chapter 622: The Promise with the Imp
"After all, your manor is too far away from the town to be visited by the children, but if you want to feel the festive atmosphere, prepare more, I know you're not short of money anyway." After explaining to Jiang Hai the origin of Halloween, Cindy Clive smiled and picked up something, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared for Halloween.
In addition to candy, there are some other things, such as toffee apples, which were often given in the past, because when Halloween is approaching, that is, this time of day, is the time of the apple harvest.
Then people would stick the apples on bamboo skewers, turn them in toffee syrup, and go to Okhotsk to get some nuts and stuff.
Some of them are like the practice of Chinese rock sugar gourds, according to Cindy Clive, when she was young, every family would give children toffee apples, but I don't know when it started, some adults were very bad.
However, if you enlarge the pin and blade in the apple, the child will accidentally scratch or prick himself when he eats it.
Americans are quite self-conscious, just like a few decades ago they said that freshwater is polluted and freshwater fish cannot be eaten.
As a result, up to now, no one eats freshwater fish, as for the spines, it is only something that Asian carp has, there are many freshwater fish that are a thorn, the same as seafood, but they still don't eat it, it is because of the carefulness of the Americans, so now they don't give toffee apples during the holidays, followed by pumpkin pie, Americans especially like to eat pie.
This food, which originated in eastern Europe, is quite popular in the streets of the United States.
Almost all American fast food restaurants have this thing, but to be honest, Jiang Hai doesn't like to eat this game very much.
In his opinion, this kind of dessert is too sweet, and the taste is also very greasy, it is better to eat this thing than to eat cake.
Jiang Hai's manor has pumpkins planted in it, and it is not small, so it has nothing to do with Jiang Hai to make pies or anything.
He came here, mainly to buy candy and lamps, Jiang Hai is a typical Sagittarius, when buying something, if you directly ask him to take a lot of money to buy something, he will be reluctant, but if you let him know that this thing is very cost-effective and cheap, no matter whether this thing is useful or not, he will buy a lot.
Halloween, the candy is discounted, so Jiang Hai didn't go to the housekeeper to see if anyone ate it, looking at the candy in front of him, Jiang Hai also grabbed it with his big hands, and when Cindy Clive went to find a jack-o'-lantern for Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai had already grabbed almost dozens of catties of candy, and the most important thing was that he caught the best.
"Oh my God, are you going to open a candy store?" Looking at the candy that was already full of several baskets over there, Cindy Clive patted her forehead, and then said helplessly, although she knew that Jiang Hai was not bad for money, but this was too wasteful.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's cheap now, can the people in the manor eat it after I buy it, and the production dates are very close." Looking at the so many candies in front of him, Jiang Hai said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Hai's candies are all excellent things, chocolate, all Ferrero and MM beans, this game should be called M&ME in scientific name, the outside is sugar and the inside is chocolate, Jiang Hai remembers that when he was in junior high school, there was a classmate who liked to eat this very much, but then the relationship was stiff, this kind of chocolate is from the United States, it tastes good, and it is very popular with small pot friends.
Because the colorful ones are very good-looking, and there are many other sugars and the like, Jiang Hai buys things, naturally he only buys expensive ones, as long as they are delicious, and the others don't matter, although now he also feels that he has bought too much.
But buy as much as you want, he won't care, looking at Jiang Hai's appearance, Cindy Clive couldn't help laughing.
This guy is really casual, these candies almost cost dozens of dollars, sure enough, as soon as the bill is settled, these sugars cost a total of seventy dollars, which is converted into soft sister coins, which is more than four hundred dollars, plus pumpkin lanterns and the like, a total of 100 dollars were spent.
However, Jiang Hai didn't care about this, and left the store directly with the candy and pumpkin lanterns.
"Wow, so much delicious sugar, uncle, are you here for Halloween?" However, as soon as the candy was taken out, a group of children wearing masks ran through the street, this shopping street is closed to vehicles, and the goods are loaded from the street at the back entrance of the store, so in this commercial street, even bicycles can hardly be seen.
Because there are no cars, it is also a place where adults can play with their children, even if there are many foreigners here.
Among them, there was a sharp-eyed child, who saw the candies raised by Jiang Hai at a glance, and couldn't help but take off the Iron Man mask on his face, Iron Man? Well, Jiang Hai didn't understand why it was Iron Man, but the child still looked at Jiang Hai in surprise.
"Yes, welcome to visit us then." Hearing the child's words, Jiang Hai also said with a smile.
"There are so many delicious foods, we will definitely go, but uncle, where is your house?" When the children heard that these candies were really prepared for Halloween, they couldn't help but get excited, and then said to Jiang Hai with their eyes shining.
"My home, at the end of that road, Tenglong Manor." Pointing to the way out of the village, Jiang Hai said with a smile.
"Dragon Manor?" However, after hearing Jiang Hai's words, the child here looked at Jiang Hai in a little confusion, obviously he didn't know much about this manor, Jiang Hai was still very mysterious in this town.
"I know, I know, it's the biggest estate we have here, and my dad went to pull the parts that were replaced." At this moment, another black child stood up, raised his hands, and said loudly.
"Pulled over parts? What do you mean? Hearing the child's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel a little strange, what does it mean to pull over parts?
"I really doubt that you are running a farm, your manor, basically there are fully automatic machines, there are always times when the machine is broken, and the broken parts are naturally to buy new ones, but the rusty parts that are replaced are directly thrown away by the state, and they are also iron, so they can be sold for money." Although the family does not open a manor, it is obvious that Cindy Clive knows a little better than him, and when he heard her words, Jiang Hai suddenly thought, it seems to be ha.
Before buying the cow, he had seen a pile of rusty scrap metal pushed in the warehouse of his estate, and he muttered at the time that he didn't know where he got it, and he co-authored those parts that were rusted and replaced.
"You are a rich man, and if the parts are rusty, you will directly replace them with new ones, but most of the farmers are not so rich, they all buy the parts that are eliminated in your big estates, and then use them in addition to rust, so that they can basically be used for two or three years." Seeing that Jiang Hai remembered, Cindy Clive also smiled and said to him.
"Heh, uncle's manor, it's the Tenglong manor, you are welcome to come and play when the time comes." Touched his nose a little embarrassed, Jiang Hai was not a sling counterattack, uh, sort of, but he was definitely not a representative of the struggle flow.
He hardly struggled, and from the beginning, he was actually not too bad for money, 330 million selling gems.
The manor bought for 280 million yuan, and the remaining 50 million US dollars, although it is not much, it is definitely a lot.
When the money was almost spent, he had another way to get his money, until now.
Jiang Hai is really not bad for money, he still has more than a billion deposits in his bank, so he didn't work hard from small and medium-sized farms, he is not very clear about the operation of these estates, and now after listening to Cindy Clive's words, Jiang Hai also subconsciously ignored it, squatted down, looked at these small pot friends who came in front of him, he grabbed a handful of candy from the bag, stuffed it into the hands of these children, and then said with a smile.
Hearing what Jiang Hai said, the children naturally nodded with joy, and then happily watched Jiang Hai leave.
Jiang Hai also waved his hand to them before leaving the shopping street, originally when leaving the commercial street, Jiang Hai also wanted to invite Cindy Clive to dinner, but she refused, saying that she had already made an appointment with her family, and Jiang Hai couldn't say anything.
At the beginning, he decided to go with the flow with Cindy Clive, and now the situation between him and Cindy Clive is also something he has considered, although it is a little difficult to accept, but it is still in Jiang Hai's thoughts.
Returning to the car alone, Jiang Hai threw his things into the back seat of the car, and then started the engine and left the town.
After returning to the manor, seeing that Jiang Hai had brought back so many candies, Dalena, Marianne, Bernice and Xiaoya were still very interested, took those pumpkin lanterns, and began to decorate them.
As for the origin of the jack-o'-lantern, Cindy Clive also told Jiang Hai, and according to legend, this is a story in Ireland.
There was a man named Jack in Ireland, he was very picky, very picky, and as long as he was not allowed to spend money, he even dared to tease the devil, and it was because of this that after he died, heaven did not want him, because he was too picky, and hell did not want him, because he had played with demons, and in the end he could only take his only possession, a white radish, and hollow it out, and put a candle on it, and used it as a lamp on the ground, and wandered around the world, and the first thing that made this lamp was white radish and cabbage.
However, after the Europeans arrived in North America, they found that pumpkins were very good for making this thing, and it was precisely because of this that there were pumpkin lanterns, and now the jack-o'-lanterns have been popularized all over the world, and the jack-o'-lanterns bought by Jiang Hai are all very good.
There is no need to put on a candle, it has its own light and battery, as long as you turn on the switch, you can always light up.
The four girls, as well as Jiang Hai's interest in this thing, has not yet passed, so after packing up the sugar, they took these pumpkin lanterns and arranged the manor, especially the periphery of the manor, which was arranged a lot, and it looked really a bit festive. (To be continued.) )
