Shi Lei once again drove to his brother-in-law's family, and the two families went straight to the big reservoir contracted by his brother-in-law. Since Mengxian County is a mountainous area, there is no shortage of mountain scenery along the way.

By the time we arrived at the reservoir, it was no longer what it had been.

In the beginning, there was not even a road that could be reached on foot, and there were either plants and trees blocking the way, or all kinds of craggy rocks blocking the way, and the reservoir should be said to be a natural barren mountain lake.

Today, it is a large construction site in full swing, with a wide asphalt road leading to the main building next to the water. These buildings can now be seen in shape, and they should be a Chinese-style architectural complex.

Brother-in-law Zhang Wei explained the general planning and construction situation here.

"As you can see, the dam of the reservoir and the surrounding hillsides have been strengthened to prevent natural disasters such as floods and mudslides.

Although the main body of the dam was built in the seventies and eighties of the last century, the quality is still very good, and it is still intact after several flash floods, and only part of the reinforcement can meet the requirements of use.

The main construction of the stadium used as a sports and leisure center is now basically over, and the slowest has completed the pouring of the frame, and only the interior and exterior decoration need to be put into use.

Next, I'm going to start building the surface structure. The pavilions and pavilions used for fishing, the nine-curved bridge on the water, etc., are mainly to improve the entertainment function, and at the same time take into account some details of the landscaping.

As for the fish raised in the reservoir, I have hired experts to study the water quality and water temperature, and the ecology of the reservoir, and they also think that it is possible to stock cold-water fish as originally envisaged.

After some infrastructure such as roads were built, I bought a batch of rainbow trout and whitefish and put them in the reservoir. I hired a few fellows from the surrounding area, and hired two technicians with a high salary, who were responsible for taking care of the fish, and now the fish are being taken care of quite well. ”

After a round of viewing, several men took out their fishing rods from the car like last time, set them up on the fishing platform that had been built, and began to catch fish patiently.

Laura followed the three men to catch a fish, and then ran off to play with Guoguo and her two mothers.

After the three men had more or less gains, everyone packed up their things and ran to Zhang Wei's hometown.

The brother-in-law had already spoken to his parents before he came, so the family began to prepare a hearty lunch early to entertain Shi Lei and his guests.

"Oh, Mom, this is the fish we just caught from the reservoir, you can pack up and make two to eat." Brother-in-law Zhang Wei handed over a few fish he had caught to his mother, and several people sat down and began to laugh.

"The girlfriend that the stone is looking for is so handsome, and her temper is so good, the stone is so blessed." Laura, of course, became the center of everyone's discussion, and Zhang Wei's mother praised Laura without words.

After chatting for a while, everyone went to the table to eat. This time, the lunch was extraordinarily rich, with authentic Mengxian singles chickens, and the grass chickens that Zhang Wei and his family had been free-range in the mountains for two or three years and grew up eating insects.

They steamed two rainbow trout caught from the reservoir that Shi Lei and the others brought back, just to check the quality of their own output.

The other dishes are mostly some wild vegetables or home-grown vegetables, and the last pancake is to add some minced wild vegetables when mixing the noodles, and then take the dough and roll it on the pan to become a complete pancake, which tastes soft and glutinous at the same time, but also has some elasticity, not as dry as ordinary pancakes, and has a faint fragrance, very delicious.

The last pot of porridge is a large pot of bone broth made from the leg bones of the pig, and then some pork ribs are added to make a pot of authentic pork grits.

"Well, it's delicious, this pancake tastes so delicious, the free-range grass chicken is delicious, and the fish in the reservoir are also very good, and I will definitely not worry about the market when I come back." While everyone ate comfortably, they did not hesitate to praise, and Zhang Wei's parents smiled and praised them.

This meal can be regarded as an authentic local specialty of Yizhou, no matter the meal, it is a Yimeng special food, which makes Shi Lei and them addicted to eating, and Laura, a foodie, of course, has not eaten less.

After eating this sumptuous lunch, Shi Lei and his party once again embarked on a journey, this time aiming at Mengshan, the second highest peak in Shandong Province, known as "Yadai".

After an afternoon of wandering in this green oxygen bar, Shi Lei and the others were very reluctant to return to the city. In order to make up for his small regret in Yanjing, Shi Lei booked a large private room in the Yizhou store in Quanjude and booked a roast duck.

After that, of course, it was Shi Lei and Laura, the two foodies, who went with their two relatives to replenish the consumption of the day. The crispy skin of the roast duck dipped in a variety of different flavors of seasoning made Laura eat it with a lot of oil.

After a full meal, the group went home to rest satisfied.

In the next few days, Shi Lei's family visited all the big and small scenic spots in Yizhou, such as the underground Grand Canyon, Rainbow Valley, Zhuquan Village, Hongshi Village, Natural Underground Gallery, Meng Lianggu and other places, all of which left the footprints of Shi Lei and Laura, which were also sprinkled with the laughter of the family.

It wasn't until the visas of his parents and sister's family were approved that Shi Lei and his sisters ended this journey.

Shi Lei and Laura took their parents and sister to Los Angeles by plane together, and as soon as they got out of the airport, they saw that their GMC Business Star luxury bread had been parked at the door, and it was Shi Lei who arranged Gonzalez to pick up the plane in advance. The family greeted the big guy Gonzalez in a friendly way.

"Who is this Gonzalez? Is it stone your bodyguard? You don't have to put such a big score when you first came here, right? The mother asked Shi Lei in a low voice, of course, in Chinese.

"Gonzalez is a cowboy from the ranch, I specially asked him to come and pick us up, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go back to the ranch."

Shi Lei didn't tell his mother, he just thought Gonzalez was more like a bodyguard, so he just asked Gonzalez to pick up the plane.

Of course, it is also because Shi Lei's impression of Gonzalez is particularly good, so he unconsciously thinks of Gonzalez when there is such a thing, which is also a kind of inner closeness.

The family did not rush back to the stone ranch immediately, but at the request of Shi Lei, they first came to the Chinese restaurant in Peacock Garden.

"Let's go and try the dishes of the high-end Chinese restaurant here. I've come here a few times to eat, and I feel that the food is quite authentic, and the surrounding environment is also very good.

After eating, I'll take you around the area, and this is the Peacock Garden in Arcadia that I told you. ”

Shi Lei felt that the Chinese food in this house was good, so he specially brought his family to try it. However, this time it was noon, and there was no appointment in advance, so Jack Lee's family was not invited.

After the meal, Shi Lei was very enthusiastic and took the family to visit the Peacock Garden.

Shi Lei plans to place his parents here, because this is not far from the ranch, and more importantly, most of the people here are Chinese, and they can communicate smoothly with most people if they can speak Mandarin, and the market and other living facilities are very suitable for Chinese people to live here. So Shi Lei felt that this place was very suitable for his parents to live.

Therefore, during the visit, Shi Lei quietly instilled how convenient life here is, and there are no obstacles to communication.

And along the way, I can indeed see a lot of Chinese people, enthusiastically greeting Shi Lei and the group in Chinese, especially here are many successful people of their parents' age, and many of them have talked with their parents, so that their parents' impression of this community is really good.

"The people here are very enthusiastic, and there are a lot of compatriots, but I'm not afraid of the language barrier." Mom whispered to Mom and Dad.

"Neighbors here often organize group activities, and everyone often chats and plays together, and has a community party, which is much better than staying at home in China and not even knowing who is on the other side." Shi Lei took the opportunity to interject.

It can be seen that there seems to be no lack of happiness in living here, which makes Shi Lei's parents very tempted. Shi Lei took the opportunity to beat the side drum, kept encouraging his parents, and said a lot of good things.

However, my parents still said that they had to live for a period of time and make a decision before making a decision, after all, at this age, there is a feeling of being unable to leave their homeland. Shi Lei didn't persuade too much, so as not to backfire.

Besides, Shi Lei believes that after living here for a period of time, he will definitely be able to better accept the changes in his life here. The environment and cultural conditions here are indeed much better, and they should still be very attractive to parents.

"The food in that Chinese restaurant just now is good, quite authentic. And their dishes are very beautiful, and with the environment over there, it really gives people a very lofty feeling. ”

My mother was very impressed by the Chinese restaurant she had just eaten, and she was always there to discuss with my sister about some details in the restaurant, and what needed to be improved.

This reminded Shi Lei of the joke he used to make with his mother, everyone thought that her mother's food was delicious, so they encouraged her to let her open a restaurant after retirement, and jokingly said that it was called "Fat Sister Restaurant", and people knew that the food must be delicious as soon as they saw her size.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei immediately turned his firepower and began to persuade his mother to come.

"Mom, if you come to live here, my son will go back and open you a Chinese restaurant that is better than this, it has to be a private restaurant.

When to cook depends purely on your mood, if you are in a good mood, you can do more, and if you are not good, you will close your business and play by yourself. If you want to come to dinner, you must be a member, and you will not be able to make an appointment for ten days and half a month in advance.

That's it, don't be too expensive, there are people waiting in line. "How could Shi Lei not take the opportunity to make his mother happy, and by the way, let his mother have more reasons to stay.

"You're poor, you." My mother smiled and said a few words to Shi Lei, but my mother still couldn't see her teeth when she smiled, and she was still very useful for Shi Lei's flattery.

A group of people walked around the peacock garden, and many Chinese people here were familiar with each other, and after admiring the many peacocks here, they sat on the business star and ran to the stone ranch.
