After the negotiations on the "Heirloom Jade Seal" were settled, Pepe and Austin's original scheduled trip to leave Beijing on 1 September had to be delayed by one or two days.

The jadeite materials that were handed over to the jade carver Qin Sitan for processing, under the hurry of Qin Sitan and his apprentices, finally caught up with the end of August 31, and all the jewelry was processed.

After paying and sending off Qin Sitan's master and apprentice, Pepe and Austin continued to stay in Beijing, waiting for the arrival of representatives of the delegation of Kangmei Group, Hercules Group, and Pell Biopharmaceutical.

The first to arrive in Beijing were the staff of Kangmei Group.

After another day of waiting, on September 2, Zhang Yinuo, a subordinate of Hercules and Pepe, arrived with Fu Ya and others, as well as representatives of the two companies, one in the early morning and the other in the morning, and rushed to Beijing.

After the representatives of the three companies took a short break and adjusted the time difference, Pepe and Austin had a meeting with their subordinates in the afternoon of the same day.

After the meeting was held and all the orders were arranged, Pepe and Austin arranged for the principal responsible persons of the delegations of the three companies to have a formal contact with Minister Zhang and Director Wang of the representative side of the Chinese government the next day, that is, on September 3.

After that, the young couple handed over a series of specific work to the responsible personnel of the joint delegation of the three companies. Early in the morning of September 4, they boarded the "Sky Shark." Fly to the city of Bozeman on the other side of the Pacific.

――――――――――――――――――――

Because of the time difference, although Pepe and Austin took a nearly 12-hour flight, the date of their return to Koizumi Villa was still the morning of September 4.

Before boarding the plane, Pepe also called her best friend Lilian and her master Mr. Peng to inform them to come to the upcoming unveiling ceremony of the "Statue of the Triple Crown" in accordance with the previous agreement.

After the young couple returned to Koizumi Villa, they began to adjust the time difference.

On the afternoon of September 5, Lilian and her boyfriend William arrived at Xiaoquan Villa with Mr. Peng as agreed.

The unveiling of the statue of the "Triple Crown" is scheduled for tomorrow, September 6, which also happens to be a Saturday.

Insert a digression-

In the United States. There is no such thing as a "Saturday and Sunday".

In accordance with the provisions of the Reasonable Labor Standards Act of 1938 enacted in the United States. The legal workweek in the United States is 40 hours, which is generally five working days.

Under normal circumstances, Americans like to arrange their rest days on Saturday and Sunday, which is equivalent to the "weekend" of Chinese.

In the United States. Because it's a normal day off. So no one calls it a "double holiday". It's usually called "Weekend". If you ask them "Saturday and Sunday," most Americans won't know what you're asking.

There are also some special types of work for Americans, because of the special nature of their work. Ten hours a day. Therefore, the legal 40-hour working week was completed in only four days, so they could take three days off a week, which can also be said to be "three days off".

――――――――I'm representing the dividing line of the camera back to Koizumi Villa――――――――

I got up early in the morning of September 6th, and after all the people in the cottage had eaten breakfast, they went to the stables together.

Then, Pepe and the others watched Thomson and Joey take all the cowboys and happily start to "dress up" for the "Triple Crown"!

The so-called "dressing up" is to help the "Triple Crown" wash his whole body first, and then do a full-body muscle massage; Then, the "Triple Crown" was put on a whole set of new, custom-made, brightly coloured harnesses; Then, the long neck of the "Triple Crown" was draped with a beautiful printed ribbon; Finally, it is necessary to fix a specially customized small crown on the head of the "Triple Crown".

"The Triple Crown" also seems to know that he is the protagonist today, so he is extremely excited throughout the dress-up process!

Not only excited, but the "Triple Crown" seemed to have his own idea - when the cowboys were about to drape it with a printed ribbon, the little guy actually bit off a blue-green ribbon with his teeth that was out of harmony with the color of the saddle on his body, and then lowered his head and bit another red-and-yellow ribbon, and motioned for Thomson to change it on.

All the onlookers burst into laughter.

"This little guy is so smart!" While helping the "Triple Crown" continue to dress up, Thomson proudly praised the "Triple Crown" to the onlookers next to him.

As soon as Thomson's words fell, the "Triple Crown" immediately stretched out its tongue and made direct contact with Thomson's face.

"Hahaha" Thomson laughed, "This little guy likes to hear compliments the most!" No matter who praises it, it will give this person such a slap after the praise! I now see that it seems to be able to understand all of us more and more! When I communicate with him, it feels like I am communicating with a six or seven-year-old child! ”

Hearing this, Old Man Peng smiled and said: "That's because the people here are outstanding and the water and soil support people!" Don't talk about the 'Triple Crown', all the animals in the lodge are very smart! ”

As soon as Old Man Peng talked about the animals in the villa, Lilian couldn't help but discuss Winnie and the wolves with William beside her.

Winnie is taller than an adult now! And the size of the body can be described in two words - obese!

However, don't look at Winnie's obese, after the development of "Qizhi Dan" and the nourishment of the aura lake water day and night, this guy is a typical example of "outer and inner spirit".

According to Rhona. Winnie didn't know how to "wipe her mouth" when she stole food in the middle of the night! And now, I actually learned how to "clean up the aftermath"!

What does this mean, that is, after this guy sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night and ate secretly, the whole kitchen was a mess, and anyone who saw it would know that it was Winnie who snuck into the kitchen again last night!

As Winnie grows bigger and stronger, the kitchen door is useless!

Because with Winnie's hand, even if the kitchen door is locked, it will open with a single shot, and the result is that one lock after another is scrapped!

Later, in order not to increase the unnecessary cost of buying locks. It was the old man Peng who lived in the villa at the time who came up with an idea - a thick iron chain to handle the door!

After having the handle of the thick iron chain. So everyone thought, Winnie's "stealing food in the middle of the night" behavior can finally be controlled, right?

But who would have thought that this guy looks simple, but in fact he is absolutely simple!

The kitchen is chained for the first five days, every morning and night. Winnie would crouch at the kitchen door with a pitiful look. And after driving it away. This guy just grabbed the kitchen window outside the main building and looked in.

The people in the mountain villa didn't come to grab food. So it's all up to it.

For the next five days, Winnie seemed to be at ease.

And on the morning of the sixth day, when Rhona and Elena walked to the kitchen door. I saw Winnie squatting at the kitchen door again.

At that time, they thought that Winnie was just continuing the "pretending to be pitiful" behavior of the previous few days, but they didn't expect that-

It turns out that Winnie has actually learned to play with her heart's eye, and her behavior pattern for the first five days is to observe where the key after unlocking is hidden by Rhona. At the same time, Anfen's behavior of driving away is also dispelling the vigilance of Joey and others!

And the purpose of doing so was to steal the key to the chain from the kitchen!

Anyway -

Because Joey is worried that Winnie is a beast after all, and she will hurt Rona and them if she is not careful. So, for the first five days, in the morning and at night, Joey would summon several cowboys to accompany Rhona and them to the kitchen to pick and lock them.

For five days, Winnie looked at all the time, and the cowboys only had to kick Winnie's ass at the kitchen door, and she obediently left.

As a result, Joey's vigilance was lowered, and the cowboys had not been asked to go with him to the lock-picking on the morning of the sixth day before going to bed the night before. Even himself, on the morning of the sixth day, did not follow Rhona and Elena to the kitchen to unchain.

So, Winnie seized such a rare opportunity-

You know, women's hearts are always softer, and when she saw Winnie honestly sitting at the kitchen door, she softened her heart and put it into the kitchen.

And the clever Winnie took advantage of the fact that there were only Rhona and Elena in the kitchen, and stole the key to the big chain from a drawer in the kitchen through what she had observed a few days ago!

I have to say, this guy is extremely smart! It would have thought about it for the long haul - it knew it was useless to rob it, because Joey would have another one. Therefore, the only way to do this is to steal the key!

In general, a lock will always have two or three more keys.

But because the cowboys want a late-night snack, they can't go to the door of Joey and knock on the door. Therefore, at that time, there were more than a dozen keys to the chain, and basically everyone in the villa had one.

Therefore, no one cares about the lack of a set of keys in the kitchen chain. And the missing set was originally the key that belonged to Elena, but Elena thought that she had put it away and forgot it.

After all, no one would have thought that a stupid-looking bear would be so clever as to steal a key! Moreover, with its sturdy and sturdy physique, it actually succeeded!

And what is even more unexpected is that after stealing the key, Winnie opened the lock and entered the kitchen in the middle of the night, but did not swagger in the kitchen as before, but wrapped it and took it away!

Moreover, it doesn't matter if you take it away, before leaving, this guy actually locked the chain back untouched!

This guy - it's a real thing!

For a long time after that, there was always a lot of meat in the kitchen inexplicably.

When this first happened, Rhona and Elena, who were in charge of the kitchen, only thought that one of the cowboys in the cottage was hungry in the middle of the night and ran into the kitchen to make supper, and no one suspected that Winnie was the ghost.

Because there are a lot of cowboys in the villa! So, neither Rhona nor Elena bothered to inquire about who had run into the kitchen at night to make supper.

As a result, for a long time, Winnie's "stealing food in the middle of the night" has not been exposed.

Until one night--

When everyone gathered at the dining table to eat and chat, Rona said casually: "The steak in the kitchen is consumed so fast, is it that the big guys have been working a lot lately, so they can't stand the hunger at night, and they always run to the kitchen to make supper?" ”

After Lorna finished asking this sentence, everyone at the table shook their heads and then began to ask each other: "Is that you?" ”

After asking each other, the conclusion came out - no one ran to the kitchen to make a supper in the middle of the night last night!

Moreover, not to mention last night, in the past week, no one has ever gotten up at night for supper.

Rona was stunned when she heard the answer: "This is strange, in the past month or so, I have put the steak in the freezer every night, and it will be less that night!" Moreover, one less is at least nearly twenty pieces! ”

After hearing this, everyone at the table looked at each other

Since it is not "artificial" less, then we have to find out a reason!

Cowboy Bill uses his brains and is the first to report the answer he guessed - there are rats in the kitchen!

Immediately afterwards, Cowboy Wolf shook his head and retorted: "Nearly twenty pieces of steak, that must be a small half bucket!" Rats don't eat that much! If you had to lose that much steak every night, the lodge would have been plagued with rats a long time ago! And, most importantly, the steak is in the freezer, so how did the rat open the freezer door? If it was really stolen by a rat, then this rat is definitely a sperm! ”

Wolfe's analysis makes sense, so the cowboys began to think of other possibilities after ruling out the possibility of the rat swarm stealing food.

"Could it be that Winnie slipped into the kitchen?" - A cowboy said casually.

Wolf immediately retorted, "The kitchen door is in big chains, how can Winnie get in!" Could it be that Winnie has also become a sperm? ”

"It's not like the cosmic black hole swallowing the steak!" - Deputy Chief Danny joked. (To be continued......)
