Chapter 495: Thanksgiving is coming
Although what Gao Xi said was true, it was a bit suspicious of stealing the concept, it was true that there were poachers, but before anyone touched it, the poachers were already hanging, and there were wild beasts that came to make trouble near his camp, but it was just a jaguar, and even the dog he had at home couldn't do it.
What is hard and dangerous, this guy just doesn't want Ye Xiu to complain about him too much.
"You-, forget it, don't talk about your sister, you don't have to find excuses to scare people, anyway, you have to take me to Jinshan to hunt when you have time, I heard that the temperature in your place will not be lower than ten degrees Celsius all year round, it is simply heaven, during this time, the imperial capital is cold, more than ten degrees below zero, so cold that I dare not go out during the day." Ye Xiu's eyes still lit up when he heard this.
Gao Xi touched his nose and said, "You can go, but it's different if I'm not in the ranch, I have something to do recently and want to go out to find some rare animals or something." ”
"You kid don't want to poach, that's a very dangerous thing, and it's illegal in the United States." Ye Xiu was startled when he heard Gao Xi's words.
"I haven't done that yet, I just went to the zoo and nature reserve first, of course not hunting, just looking." Gao Xi said with a wry smile.
Of course, he couldn't tell Ye Xiu the true purpose of his going out, after seeing the wonderful use of aura during this time, Gao Xi wanted to increase his aura vigorously, because he wanted to know very much what kind of strange effects would happen after this aura was raised to a certain realm.
Ye Xiu sighed and said, "It looks like I don't have a chance?" ”
"It's not that there is no chance, or you come over at Christmas, we don't pay attention to Christmas in China, so my family won't come, just take you to hunting, not bragging, my back mountain is simply a natural hunting ground, you can say whatever you want to fight." Of course, don't dare to be too peculiar, there are still deer, rabbits, wolves and whatever, and it's too strange to be gone. Gao Xi thought for a moment.
"You're not going to be with your girlfriend at Christmas?"
"Do you think Christmas in the United States is like Valentine's Day in China? My girlfriend is going to spend Christmas at her house, I'm just going to be alone, at most to celebrate with the people on the ranch, you can come over too, let's get a super Christmas tree to play. Gao Xi smiled bitterly.
"That's right, I forgot that this is the United States, in our China. Christmas has become standard Valentine's Day, alas. ”
"Let's go, go to dinner, don't think about so much." Gao Xi patted Ye Xiu.
said that it was a treat, but in fact, Gao Xi took Ye Xiu to rub it outside the airport.
"You kid is really picking on the door and coming home, you're a billionaire, so you invite me to eat fast food?" Ye Xiu was very dissatisfied and accompanied Gao Xi to the waiting hall, Gao Xi was already preparing to go back to Bozeman, and he didn't want to wait for a moment.
"I told you. Come to me for Christmas, I'll cook you whatever you want, and if you don't think it's okay, I'll pay you to hire a chef. To put it mildly, as far as the good things on my ranch are concerned, not to mention five-star hotels, even eight-star hotels. Gao Xi patted Ye Xiu's shoulder and said, "Let's go, brother." Take care of your relationship problems, and hopefully you can bring your girlfriend with you at Christmas. ”
"Girlfriend? Other! I was definitely not in a relationship before I was forty. It is even more impossible to get married. Ye Xiu shook his head, for people like him, playing is the key, as for getting married, forget it, I'm afraid this is also the biggest headache for the Ye family.
"You can decide your own affairs, I won't interfere, 88!"
With a wave of his hand, Gao Xi had already walked into the waiting hall, Ye Xiu originally planned to go in and chat for a while, but he received a call from home and had to hurry to book a ticket, saying that something was wrong at home.
"I went to book a ticket first, and I didn't know what was going on at home, my sister asked me to go back quickly, and said that it was 100,000 urgent." Ye Xiu's face became a little nervous at this time, because the word 100,000 anxious came out of the mouth of her sister, who had always been steady, it was definitely something wrong.
"Give me a call when it's time to do anything, if I can help, I'll help." Gao Xi can only say that, he can still help now.
"No problem."
The two good brothers, who had just met and had not been chatting for a long time, separated in such a hurry, one flew back to Montana, and the other flew to the imperial capital of China.
……
When the plane landed at Bozeman Airport, as soon as he got off the plane, Gao Xi suddenly felt as if the whole world was a lot empty.
Compared to the crowded New York, Bozeman's scattered buildings and large expanses of greenery are very beautiful.
"Alas, I'm really fit to be a countryman for the rest of my life." Gao Xi sighed, but instead of being unhappy, he was glad for it.
Today's countryside is not bad compared to the city, there is electricity, Internet and supermarkets, if you want to buy anything, you don't even have to go out, you can shop online, but I feel that the express delivery in the United States is not as powerful as China, and it is more expensive.
Out of the airport, Clark was already waiting there, and after greeting him, Gaucy threw his things in the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.
Clark started the car, and the Ford pickup whizzed toward the Yellowstone Ranch.
"Clark, it's Thanksgiving soon, how do you Americans spend Thanksgiving, do you want to take a holiday?"
Gao Xi thought for a moment and asked.
Thanksgiving is an ancient holiday created by the American people, and it is also a holiday for Americans to gather together as a family.
Thanksgiving does not have a fixed date at the beginning, and is determined by the states of the United States on an ad hoc basis. It wasn't until 1863, after the independence of the United States, that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.
In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving Day" every year. The Thanksgiving holiday generally lasts from Thursday to Sunday. So Gao Xi, as a rancher, really has to care about this festival that he doesn't really like.
Why? Because Thanksgiving is so bloody, of course.
The Indians died like flies due to the plague brought by the Europeans, and now the Pecot tribe in Connecticut, which numbered 8,000 when the Europeans arrived, had only 1,500 left in 1637, and that was the year when the whites first officially declared Thanksgiving, and the whites were celebrating their massacre of the Pecots in the Connecticut Valley.
William, former governor of Plymouth and one of the so-called recorders of the feast of 1621. Bradford participated in the 1637 Holocaust.
He wrote in his History of Plymouth Plantations that those who escaped from the flames were slashed by swords, some chopped to pieces, others pierced by long swords, and they were quickly killed, and few escaped. The scene of them burning in the fire is terrifying...... It smells bad, but it's a victim of sweet victory. The whites praised God for doing them a great favor by letting the enemy fall into their hands and allowing them to achieve a quick victory.
Massachusetts Bay Governor John. Winthrop declared: This day should become a day of celebration, thanks for the conquest of the Pecots. And so the officially declared "Thanksgiving" was born.
At that time, there were very few Pecots left. The commander of the British army, John. Mason said that the attack on the Pecots was the work of God, who "laughed at his enemies and the enemies of his people, and laughed at the Pecots as a stove...... God condemned the bodies of the pagans to sink into the Mastik River". (To be continued.) )
