Chapter 033: This Asian is Crazy
"Thank you!" Bei Hai, who was carrying a simple duffel bag, took out a ticket from his pocket and handed it to the person who drove him over.
Not every American is enthusiastic, and many Americans are not unpaid foreigners Lei Feng, just like the one who sent Bei Hai over. It's almost a fifty-minute journey from Revere on the outskirts of Boston, and it's a pick-up from Bei Hai, who charges fifty dollars for so-called gas.
There is nothing to complain about for Bei Hai, as long as it is cheaper than taking a taxi, as for taking the Greyhound long-distance bus that can be seen everywhere in the United States? Bei Hai really didn't want to wait for this time.
The young white man waved his ticket at Bei Hai, started the car, and turned to leave.
Bei Hai put the bag on his shoulders and first became familiar with Gloucester, the largest fishing port in the United States, along the road in front of him.
Listen to the name: America's largest fishing port! When I heard it, I didn't know how prosperous it was. However, when Bei Hai stood on the land of Gloucester, the scene in front of him made Bei Hai really unable to connect the largest fishing port in the United States with the small town in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, the whole town is almost two or three storey American-style buildings, none of the buildings can reflect the tall temperament, to say that this American is really weird, rich people like to go to the suburbs. Just along the way, Bei Hai doesn't know how many single-family manor villas by the sea have been seen among the green trees.
At first glance, the outside of the town looks like the United States, and the inside of the town looks like a third world country, and the town is more like a domestic community than a fishing port.
The people walking on the streets have a kind of leisurely atmosphere unique to people in rural towns, and this atmosphere makes Bei Hai like it very much, but Bei Hai is not qualified to immerse himself in it, and he will not slow down his pace because of this.
Because Bei Hai knows that he is here to fish for a living, not to come to this small town for leisure and vacation!
With his bag, Bei Hai asked the people on the side of the road and walked towards the small hotel he had booked.
When I was in Los Angeles, I booked a room in a family here, and these are also called family hotels. One of the reasons why it is important to live in such a place is to see the good evaluation of this on the Internet, and the other is that the two words are cheap!
When I arrived at the place, I looked around, and there were residences on both sides of the road, some of which were very similar to the previous straight tube buildings, but they were all two- or three-storey, and they looked plain on the outside. Not only does the house look ordinary, but there are also some potholes on the road on the ground, you can see cars parked on the side of the road everywhere, and there are no traffic lights at the intersection.
An ordinary country town. This is the first impression of the Behai in Gloucester!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Bei Hai stood in front of the door of a small white wooden building with three floors, checked the address in his hand repeatedly, and then walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
"It's coming!" After knocking twice, Bei Hai heard an answer from inside the house, followed by footsteps with a small bag coming to the door.
"You're Hull!" The old lady in the house opened the door and saw a chubby Asian with a bag standing at the door, and immediately greeted Bei Hai with a smile: "Your room has been prepared for you, come in quickly!" ”。
Behai said as he walked inside, "Thank you, Mrs. McCowan."
"Don't call me Madame, please call me Mary!" As he spoke, he followed Mary into the drawing-room.
Mary motioned for Behai to sit down, then shouted upstairs, "Joe! Hurry up, our new tenant Hull is here! ”。
"I'll come down right away!" There was also a loud voice of an elderly man upstairs.
Within a minute, a tall white man came down the stairs and held out his hand with a smile on his face.
The old man's spirit is very good, his face is very ruddy, and his body is quite straight.
Bei Hai immediately stood up and exchanged pleasantries with his landlord and his wife. After chatting for a while, Bei Hai and Joe calculated the room rate.
"Hull, would I like to prepare you breakfast in the morning?" Mary watched her husband and Bei Hai finish the calculations and opened her mouth to ask.
Bei Hai immediately waved his hand and said: "I don't need breakfast, if I have time, just go out and eat a little, don't bother you!" ”。
"Then I won't help you prepare," Mary asked casually, and now that she came here at this time, nine times out of ten, she was going to hire a boat to go to sea, and then stay at sea for five or six days as a vacation. Bei Hai's dress is also in line with Mary's conjecture.
"I'll take you to see your room!" Joe handed the check that Bei Hai handed over to his wife, got up and gestured to Bei Hai.
"Thank you!" Bei Hai thanked him and followed Joe to the third floor.
opened the door of the room with the key in his hand, and after Joe pushed the door open, he put the key in Bei Hai's hand, and walked into the room with Bei Hai with his feet.
"This is our best room, the day before yesterday the guests here just returned to the city, here is the bathroom ......" while introducing the room with Bei Hai familiar with the facilities of the next room.
After Qiao introduced it, he asked Bei Hai: "If you still need anything, tell me directly!" If not, I'll go out first! ”。
"Thank you!" Bei Hai thanked Qiao again, this room is very good, basically except for the kitchen, there is nothing to be picky about the price of less than two hundred dollars a week?
In this way, Bei Hai stayed in the family hotel of the two old men. The next day, I went straight to the fisheries management office to get a bunch of tables and some useful reference books, brought them back to the room and began to assault.
After three full days without leaving home, Bei Hai almost never went to bed and lay down, feeling that this day was more difficult than his own key junior high school in China, and he was about to reach the realm of the head cantilever beam and thorn stock.
Bei Hai studied hard, preparing to test everything that should be tested in the shortest possible time. However, this situation of not leaving the room made Mr. and Mrs. Qiao a little puzzled.
"Joe! You say that Hel won't do anything illegal and criminal in the room, right? Mary looked up at the stairs and asked her husband, who was sitting next to her and reading the newspaper.
"Yes, I've been in the room for almost two days, and I don't make an appointment to go to sea and don't go to the beach to play! This man is really strange," Jo thought strange when she heard her wife say this. A young man in his twenties who went to the beach and stayed in his room for a few days instead of playing, if there was a girl who could say, it would be strange for anyone to think about it.
Mary turned to look at Joe and asked, "Would you like to go in and have a look?" ”。
Joe put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up: "I'd better go!" ”。
Mary, the old lady, was still very careful, or rather, she would come to trouble, and when she saw that her husband was about to go upstairs, she immediately said, "Bring that pot of freshly brewed coffee!" ”。
In this way, Joe knocked on Bei Hai's door in the name of delivering coffee.
"What are you going to do here?" As soon as Qiao entered the door, he saw more than a dozen books spread out on the ground, and immediately opened his mouth to ask.
Bei Hai didn't hide it, took the coffee pot, and after pouring a cup for himself and Qiao, he directly told Qiao what he was going to test.
"You're crazy!" Joe shook his head after hearing this, in Joe's opinion, it was incredible to want to read so many books in such a short period of time, and there was no basis at all to think about reading and memorizing a dozen or so books in a week or two. And even if you want to take the test, you don't have to take the test at once, so many exams, you have to take the test even to survive and save yourself in any sea area, what kind of trouble is this?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Joe did not say it, and some subjects were not examined for fishermen.
Bei Hai smiled and said, "Do your best!" ”。 Now Bei Hai doesn't know that he has taken one or two more courses.
"You're confident?" Qiao looked at Bei Hai, although his face was tired, but the confidence that could not be concealed was indeed obvious.
"Sort of!" Bei Hai nodded, Bei Hai already had a plan for the exam, not that Bei Hai really had to memorize so many books in a week. Originally, I thought that these few little books were not trivial in Los Angeles, but when I really put these books in front of me and went into battle, Bei Hai found that Yiqiē was not so easy to do!
Bei Hai doesn't have the ability to shorthand, but Bei Hai has come up with the perfect way to cheat, that is, to use space! Find the questions in the book by yourself, and then open the book and hang it in the space, so that you can use your thoughts to 'read' it when you take the exam! There is a plug-in, this is Bei Hai's dependence.
Bei Hai has a bottom here, but Joe is not optimistic, and after chatting a few words downstairs, he said to his wife: "This Asian is crazy!" ”
