Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the second week of moving back to 76 Whitfield Street, the Windermere Lake villa was finally renovated. At this time, it was already the end of January, and Benedict and Tom's trip to attend the major awards banquets in the film and television industry came to an end temporarily, and they got a few days off. I heard that Li Han's lakeside villa was done, and invited them to go over for a vacation, and they all happily agreed.
In fact, it was quite cold at the end of January, and it was not a good time to go to Windermere for a vacation, but who cares about this, a group of good friends in the past, even if they don't swim in the lake or go out, they hide in the house to eat, drink, and play cards are also very happy, not to mention that you can also see the scenery of the lake through the window.
As soon as they were leaving, the four of them drove straight to Windermere in two cars, and Lydia would not go directly from Oxford until noon the next day, and Aina would be with them.
Drive with friends, talk and laugh, look at the scenery, and the time on the road passes quickly. It's not a weekend, it's not the tourist season in the UK, there aren't many cars on the road, they don't need to pay their full attention, it's easy to drive all the way, and it feels like a road trip. When I arrived at my destination, I even thought that I had arrived so quickly, and I hadn't enjoyed the journey at all.
"Let's continue next time," Li Han said regretfully, "When did I go to other European countries, I have been in the UK for more than half a year, and I have been busy, and I have never gone out to play." ”
Benedict smiled: "Tom and I must be difficult to match your time, but your time is very flexible, and we often go abroad to film and promote, when the time comes, as long as you like that country or region, you can fly over, and there will always be time to go out." ”
Li Han rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "It's as if you were very casual when you were filming outside." "But it's really time to go out and have fun, otherwise what are you going to do after making so much money? It's just that he still has a long-term residence permit in the UK, and it is too inconvenient to go abroad with a Huang Guo passport.
They all know that Li Han has been nesting in the UK because he is afraid of the trouble of applying for a visa, and he can't leave when he can't rise. Gavin thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said you wanted to buy a villa by the sea, what do you think of the Caribbean?" ”
Li Han looked at him suspiciously: "Caribbean? I only know about Pirates of the Caribbean. ”
Gavin laughed: "There is a Commonwealth country in the Caribbean called Saint Kitts and Nevis, which is a very small island country. It is convenient to immigrate there, and since you want to buy a villa by the sea, then you only need to buy a house of more than 400,000 US dollars in St. Kitts and Nevis, plus 100,000 yuan of various expenses, and you can get it done in three or four months. Moreover, St. Kitts and Nevis recognises dual citizenship, which does not affect your immigration to the UK. There is no requirement for check-in time, no tax on overseas income, no personal tax, and some of my American friends deliberately immigrated to St. Kitts and Nevis to avoid taxes because the U.S. tax is too heavy. ”
Li Han nodded thoughtfully: "I'll go back and ask an intermediary company, it's not bad to go to the Caribbean to bask in the sun when it's okay." "House, it doesn't matter where you buy it, he's not out of money now, if he can buy a set in every country, Huangguo people, innate habits, buy where you go.
It would be fun to buy a house in all the countries you have been to and liked. That's a lot of money, there are so many countries on the earth, and there are so many beautiful scenery, he must have a lot of favorite places.
As soon as this grand wish was spoken, everyone immediately looked at him with disdain, and Benedict also came over and touched his forehead: "Don't burn, how can you talk nonsense?" "I still learned this from Li Han, and now I will use it back on him.
Tom smiled evilly: "If you feel that there is too much money to burn, let's go back and burn money in the yard to barbecue meat, right?" The money earned by the cold should be enough for us to eat a full meal. ”
"Get out!" Li Han slapped him back unceremoniously, "Can't I just say it?" You don't understand the hearts of the people of Huangguo very well, alas, my heart is broken......"
The crowd made a vomit face and burst into laughter.
"Let's go, bring everything in, I'll go cook, and I'm going to catch some fish after eating." Li Han's face was a little panicked, and he flashed when he found an excuse. Everywhere has its own house, what a happy thing, this should be the dream of all Huangguo people, right?
The rest of the people looked at each other and laughed again, laughing as they opened the trunk and brought the food into the kitchen. In addition to the various meats and staple foods to be eaten these days, there are also a few bottles of wine, as well as tea, snacks and vegetables that have to be bought in the town, and the three-door refrigerator in the kitchen is full.
Eating at noon is quite simple, Li Han casually fried a few dishes and steamed rice, but this is hearty enough for the British, they are always used to eating a sandwich at noon. It's no wonder that there is an afternoon tea at 3 p.m.
After eating, he threw the kitchen to clean up with a few of them, and Li Han went out with the fishing rod he specially bought this time. When he was a child, fishing was just casual fun, but since the last time he had a big harvest in the sea, Li Han has become interested in fishing, and this time he went to the fishing tackle shop to buy a whole set of fishing rods used in various situations, although he couldn't tell which one should be used in which situation. But what he enjoys is the pleasure of fishing, and fishing is better than fishing.
Today's weather is still good, the sun has been hanging in the sky. Li Han untied the yacht and drove the boat to the middle of the river, strung the bait bought in the store and started fishing. Even at noon, the lake was unsheltered, and although it wasn't windy today, it was still a little cold. Fortunately, Li Han has a true yuan body, and he has not been afraid of being too cold since the beginning of his cultivation, sitting on the yacht, with a table, a chair, and a cup of tea, he is comfortable.
When the three Gavin finished cleaning up the kitchen and dining room, they came out and watched Li Han sitting on the yacht from a distance, but he could only stand on the shore in vain.
"This must be Han's revenge on us," Benedict said angrily, "for making fun of him before we retaliated against us." ”
Tom and Gavin nodded together, and the three of them stood on the shore and watched for a while, and finally moved a few stools out, lined them up, and began to fish. As soon as the rod was thrown, Benedict's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, it was Li Han's text message: "The four of us will compete to see who catches the most this afternoon, the one who loses goes to the town to buy vegetables in the evening, and the one who wins can not clean up the restaurant and kitchen at night." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes, in order not to buy vegetables, not to wash the dishes, they had to come on!
In winter, it gets dark early, and it is almost impossible to see at four o'clock, although it is said that it is an afternoon of fishing, in fact, it is more than two hours, in order to leave time to buy vegetables, Li Han Ming Jin collected his troops at three o'clock, and drove the boat back. As soon as the roar of the motor sounded, the three of them could only call it a day if they could still fish.
The environment in the UK is good, especially in the countryside, there is almost no pollution, and there are a lot of fish. Especially in winter, there is a lack of food, and the four of them have gained a lot. It was supposed to be weighed, but it wasn't weighed, and they weren't so professional in the game, so they simply counted the number and the same number was compared to the size.
In one count, Gavin and Li Han are both eight, and Li Han's fish is slightly larger. Tom had seven, Benedict was the worst, five, so he had to drive to town to buy groceries, while Gavin and Tom cleaned up after dinner.
This game is just a fun, usually they eat together, as long as Li Han cooks, he doesn't have to clean up after the basic meal, which is equivalent to joining forces to bully Benedict and let him run errands and buy groceries.
Benedict must have thought of this, but he could only be bullied to serve everyone. Not only did he buy vegetables, but he also bought a bunch of fruits and snacks to come back, in case he watched a plate or something at night, there was always a snack to be interesting. He also bought a few packs of microwave popcorn, and put it in the microwave for a few minutes before watching the film.
The few people who stayed at home were not idle, they picked up the fish they caught, threw the small ones back into the lake to let them continue to grow, and the larger ones were killed and washed for Li Han to make soup. Most of the fish they caught were carp and crucian carp, Westerners don't eat this kind of fish with many spines, Li Han simply used it to boil soup, simmered for several hours, boiled until the fish meat melted into the soup, then the thorns were fished out, and the fish soup was directly drunk or the soup was used as a hot pot base, it was fragrant and fresh, and it was delicious.
The fish soup takes a long time, and I won't be able to eat it tonight, but fortunately there are two trout in the big fish they catch, which is also often eaten in the UK, so it became the main dish of the evening.
Both fish were big enough, nearly 30 centimeters long, and Li Han simply used two methods, one braised and the other spicy roasted, with broccoli and celery as a side dish, the appetizer was a fruit salad, served with Benedict's freshly bought buns, and the dessert was Li Han's steamed brown sugar cake. This is when he suddenly remembered the cake he had eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival at home before, so he tried to steam a drawer, this thing has no technical content, and it is quite successful.
After eating, they decided to play a few rounds of billiards to kill the evening, they played English billiards, and Li Han had never touched it. Fortunately, the playing style is similar in all countries, and it is always necessary to hit your own ball into the hole, and it is easy to understand the rules. After one night, there were losses and wins, and the next day's work was distributed, only Li Han could be outside because he was responsible for cooking.
There are talks, laughs, jokes, and jokes, but time flies quickly, and it's time to rest in a blink of an eye.
"There are four rooms on the first floor and one on the second floor, you can choose what." Li Hancai didn't bother to care about how they grabbed the room, and went upstairs with a yawn, "The quilts are all laid out, and the toiletries are also available in the bathroom, you can do it yourself, good night." ”
