Chapter 984: Woods Hole
"Next!" Choosing a kid who looked more pleasing to the eye on the dock, Jiang Hai threw the cable on the boat over, and this guy immediately took the cable, and then firmly put it on the stake in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the rope was tightened, Jiang Hai's boat slowly approached, and as Edward Anderson leaned the boat here, Jiang Hai and they also walked down the stairs, because the boat must be guarded, so there were only three people who came down, Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson and Connathan Peters, and Bell Lester and Harriman Firth stayed on the boat.
"Good job young man!" After getting off the boat, Jiang Hai saw the child who was standing in the distance with his hands rubbing his hands and helping him tie the boat, of course, he also knew the rules here, and took out an Andrew Jackson (twenty dollars) from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, and looking at the tip given by Jiang Hai, the little guy's happy nose was about to bubble up.
"Thank you, sir!" Stuffing the money into his bosom, he exclaimed excitedly.
"You deserve it, by the way, can you tell me where the best hotel in town is?" Seeing this guy's excited appearance, Jiang Hai also said with a smile.
"Come with me, sir." Hearing that Jiang Hai still had something to trouble him, this kid also slapped his hun mouth with a bang, and then took Jiang Hai towards the town.
Cape Cod is indeed not very far from Jiang Hai's home, if you take a speedboat, it will take about three hours to get there.
If it is a fishing boat, it will take nearly six hours, Jiang Hai's yacht is slightly slower than the speedboat, but it is much faster than the yacht, so it takes almost three hours to arrive, here is about 30 nautical miles away from his own fishing ground, this is an ordinary fishing boat, it is standing up to more than an hour, but Jiang Hai's yacht is not available.
Following this child, Jiang Hai quickly walked into this town, the buildings on this town are quite ancient, there are no high-rise buildings, and there is no busy scene, the whole town is very old.
The buildings in the town have a strong Gothic feeling, of course, Edward Anderson had already told Jiang Hai before coming that the buildings in this town can actually be regarded as cultural relics.
Because the buildings on this town were basically built when Europeans immigrated to the United States.
Cape Cod was originally called Cape Cod, and of course, it is now also called Cape Cod, and Cape Cod is just a nickname.
This place was first discovered in 1602 by a fisherman, well, the official word is the explorer, Gosnord, but it didn't think about why there was a boatload of cod on Gosnord's ship? Whether it's gold on these people's faces or not, but it's named Cape Cod because of that boatload of cod anyway.
Later, in 1620, a group of murderers, infidels, and people who could not survive arrived here on the Mayflower.
If there are people here, they naturally have to build houses, so the original pagans built these styles with strong Gothic architecture, Gothic architecture originated in the European Renaissance, which began in the 12th century and disappeared in the 16th century.
At that time, Gothic architecture was no longer popular in Europe, and the emerging forces even gave them a derogatory term called Gothic architecture, yes, Gothic was the original name, and Gothic was a derogatory term.
So if somebody goes to Europe and you point to some buildings in France and say that it's Gothic architecture, you're probably going to get beaten.
The town of Woodsdam itself is not a small town, and there are almost 400 people living in total?
Nearly one-third of the people living on it are ocean hunters, and only one-tenth of these one-third people will stay on the island all year round, and the rest of the young people, as long as they have the means, will not come back on their own initiative except from August to October every year.
The town's main source of income of the year comes from tourism, as it is, after all, the origin of the United States.
So every year, some people come here to take pictures, take a souvenir or something, but because it's really not big, plus there are more than a dozen towns on the entire Cod Island, there are more than a dozen towns with the same customs, and it's really not rich here.
But for the sake of this only source of finance, they still insist on the style of the town, well, it seems that in Jiang Hai, it will be very eerie on a cloudy day, for the Chinese people, Gothic style...... Isn't it the style of a haunted house or a netherworld? Well, Jiang Hai seems to have said something wrong again, but he really doesn't understand these things either.
Following the boy in front of him all the way, Jiang Hai walked to the middle of the town, there is a small square in the middle of the town, in the middle is a fountain that has dried up, around the square, it should be the commercial center of the town, there are a few hotels, there are a few bars, in the alleys in the distance, there are some professional places that men will go to, it is not uncommon in these places in the United States, with Jiang Hai here, the boy pointed to the room in front of him with an excited face called 'Toby& The three-story building of George's hotel smiled at Jiang Hai, needless to say, he knew that this should be the place where he had arrived.
"I'm sorry for you." As he spoke, Jiang Hai gave him another coin of ten dollars, and then walked into the hotel.
When he walked in, the first thing that caught his eye was a bar-like lobby with a staircase going upstairs.
At this time, in the bar, there were only about five or six figures in total, divided into three parts, and there were two tables of people sitting at the table in the distance, and when they heard Jiang Hai and them coming in, they glanced at Jiang Hai and them, and then turned their heads, indicating that they were not interested in Jiang Hai.
"Hello, welcome, do you want to eat, drink, or stay?" The other person was a fat old man sitting in front of the bar watching TV, holding a cigarette and saying to Jiang Hai and them.
"Hi, Toby." However, Jiang Hai hadn't spoken yet, and Edward Anderson had already said with a smile.
"Huh? Edward? I haven't seen you in a while. Hearing Edward Anderson's voice, the fat man couldn't help but turn his head in confusion, and when he saw that it was Edward Anderson, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"No, I thought you were going to close here." Edward Anderson walked over and shook the man's hand, then patted the man on the shoulder, and then said to him, hearing Edward Anderson's words, the big fat man named Toby also laughed, obviously he didn't care about Edward Anderson's jokes, like this, they used to play a lot many years ago.
"Don't worry, until I die, this place will always be open, are you going to stay or eat this time? Or just come over and visit an old friend. Looking at Edward Anderson, Toby asked with a smile.
"Yes, I also live in a hotel, I also eat, and I also visit old friends." Hearing Toby's words, Edward Anderson also smiled and said, and then took the initiative to retreat and introduce Toby to his boss, Jiang Hai.
"Toby, this is my boss, Jiang Hai from Huaxia, Mr. Jiang." Hearing Edward Anderson introduce himself, Jiang Hai also said hello, and then stretched his hand over.
"Boy, I've heard of you, I wish you a nice time here, how many rooms do you want, how many nights do you want to stay?" After shaking hands with Jiang Hai, Toby also smiled and said, in Massachusetts, there are really not many coastal residents who have not heard of Jiang Hai.
"Let's open three rooms, one room with one bed, two rooms with two beds, and I haven't booked for how long I will stay, but I still have to trouble you to prepare some food for us while cleaning up the room." Hearing Toby's words, Jiang Hai also smiled and said, which was also something he and Edward Anderson had just discussed on the boat.
Jiang Hai There are a total of five of them, Jiang Hai naturally has to live on the shore every day, although the current sea surface is not particularly shaky, but there must be some shaking, he is the boss, he has the right to live on the shore.
And the remaining four people, two by two, these two people get off the boat today, and those two get off the boat tomorrow, Americans don't like to live in other people's beds, they pay more attention to privacy, so Jiang Hai specially asked for two beds.
"Okay, no problem!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Toby here also responded with a smile.
"Chavi, you slacker, immediately clean up the best three rooms for me, one room with one bed, two rooms with two beds, the guests are here, there has been no movement for so long, I will fire you sooner or later! George, old man, Edward has come over with his boss and got some specialty dishes to greet them! Sit down! After Toby's words fell, he tore his throat and shouted to the second floor, hearing his shout, there was also a noise from the second floor, and then there was a footstep that quickly ran to the third floor and began to get busy, and the kitchen also responded.
Jiang Hai was not uncomfortable with such a rough arrangement, he felt that it was the best not to treat himself as an outsider, and Edward Anderson naturally knew Jiang Hai's habits, so he smiled and took Jiang Hai to an empty table.
"Boss, you can try Old George's pineapple chicken nuggets with cod in a while, and the taste will definitely not disappoint you." After they all sat down, Edward Anderson also said to Jiang Hai with a smile.
"Edward, since you know about this, why didn't you just bring us here?" Hearing Edward Anderson's words, Jiang Hai smiled, but then asked with some confusion, it cost him an extra ten dollars.
"Hey Jiang, you're the boss, it's you who decides where we are, not anyone!" But hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson said seriously, hearing what he said, Jiang Hai smiled, he just likes such subordinates! (To be continued.) )
