It was a small mountain, the woods were sparse, but all kinds of shrubs and weeds grew very luxuriantly, and the sudden human voice probably disturbed the small animals nearby, only to see a bush shake, and a gray hare ran out.

Old Tom also saw it, and said with a smile: "Although it is only a small mountain, there are still small animals such as hares and deer, and it is not bad to go to fight one or two tooth sacrifices once in a while, and it will be tired of eating beef and mutton every day." ”

Li Han thought silently, if you don't get tired of raising a few pigs, the people of Huangguo, especially the southerners, seem to never get tired of eating meat, and they will never get tired of eating beef and mutton.

In this way, in fact, it is okay to raise a few pigs, just raise them with cattle and sheep, anyway, they are not sold, and it is nothing to grow slowly.

The pasture was quite small, except for the cattle and sheep shed, a meadow, and a hill, there was nothing else, and I saw it in a while. While watching Li Han, he was already planning how he should use the ranch - although he hadn't made up his mind whether to buy it or not, and he wasn't sure if Old Tom would sell it.

Sometimes people just like to make up for it, even if it's not very practical.

After looking at the ranch, the group went back to the old stone house and sat down to drink tea, Old Tom was stunned for a while, and suddenly looked at Li Han and said, "I heard that you want to buy my ranch?" ”

Li Han scratched his face a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I suddenly want to buy a holiday ranch, raise a few cattle and sheep, raise a few horses, and maybe raise a few pigs and chickens and ducks, so that I can come over and ride a horse when I am on vacation, and then eat my own pigs, cattle and mutton." ”

The friends on the side are all looking at him, what if you say that, what if you don't sell it if you make people unhappy?

Old Tom didn't seem to see their eyes, but just grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth with missing front teeth: "It's a good idea, and he's very good at enjoying life, unlike my son, who knows all day about work and doesn't know what relaxation and pleasure are." ”

Li Han smiled: "Your son is self-motivated, not as lazy as me." ”

Old Tom smiled proudly with satisfaction, although he had always complained that his son refused to come back to inherit the ranch, but of course it was better for his son to have a good future, he didn't know that his son made a lot more money outside than the ranch, but he was reluctant to give up this ancestral business that had been inherited for nearly two hundred years.

"I'm not in a hurry to sell this ranch, you think about it first, and tell me if you want to buy it one day." Old Tom said, "If I have to sell it someday, I'll let you know first." ”

He took care of it so much, Li Han was a little embarrassed: "Then thank you very much." ”

In addition to looking at Li Han, there is another reason why Old Tom is willing to make an agreement with him: the other party has money and is willing to spend money. Everyone in the town knows that the villa by the lake was bought by a boy from Huang Guo for 7 million pounds, and in recent years, the behavior of Huang Guo people throwing money everywhere has made almost all Europeans and Americans know that Huang Guo people are not bad for money, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a house and buy land.

So Old Tom wasn't worried at all that Li Han would be reluctant to buy his ranch, and he wasn't worried that the other party would be stingy and want to lower the price. Although his ranch is a little smaller, the location is very good, facing the lake in front, leaning against the mountain in the back, and next to Li Han's villa, which can be connected to his villa after buying. And the pasture is also very good, the grass seed and the land are very fertile, whether it is to raise horses, cattle and sheep.

Farewell to old Tom, it was almost noon, so they drove to the town for dinner, Lydia did not mention that they were going to the manor, and the family must have been busy preparing for the birthday party in the evening, and it would be a mess to bring the guests back at this time, and it may not be possible to take care of it, so it is better to go out to eat with everyone.

There were a lot of people today, so I chose an Italian restaurant, and his pizza and potatoes were good, and the cheese baked bean paste was also quite good. Li Han also likes his tuna salad, as long as he goes to this chain, these are must-orders, among which the pizza is only ordered 6 overflowing. Sometimes he is a very monotonous and stubborn person, and his friends can only shake their heads and sigh to cooperate.

"Because I don't like to eat Western food, these are the foods I choose from Western food that I can accept." Li Han is also a little helpless, he has always been picky, and those who don't like it would rather be hungry than touch, because this grandfather was even sad back then, and he didn't know what he was going to do when he went to college. Fortunately, things are circulating quickly now, no matter where he is, he can buy whatever he wants, and even if there is a big difference in eating habits between the north and the south, it will not starve him to death.

This is also the reason why he is very diligent in cooking, he can cook whatever he wants, otherwise he will definitely take out every day and eat at a restaurant every day.

Hearing his reason, everyone laughed, and Benedict nodded with emotion: "We should all thank you for being a picky eater, otherwise how can we have the opportunity to eat your cooking often." ”

Tom nodded vigorously, he was also one of the people who often went to Li Han's place to eat. Gavin was a little farther away, and his skin was not as thick as theirs, so he ate less rice, but he also ate a lot of good ingredients. Fortunately, they all know each other very well, and they will help wash the vegetables and dishes every time, which are the two jobs that Li Han hates the most in the process of cooking.

After eating, there was nothing interesting in this town, so I went back to the villa to fish. Lydia didn't have time to spend with them anymore, she had to go back to her hair, care, change her clothes, put on makeup, and today she was the main character, and she had to dress up and come out to meet people.

"Han, are you going to buy that ranch?" Gavin asked.

Li Han casually threw the fishing hook into the lake, and said distressedly: "I'm not sure yet, I really want to buy it, probably because my heart of the Huang people is doing tricks." But thinking about it, it seems that it is not very useful to buy it, and the most attractive thing for me is to be able to raise a horse to ride at any time, the problem is that it is a bit far away, and it is not possible to ride it every day. As for cattle and sheep and the like, they are also dispensable, and it doesn't seem very cost-effective to buy a ranch for these. ”

Gavin analyzed for him: "Land always retains its value, at least in recent decades, it should not fall anywhere, and money will only depreciate more and more, if you have spare money in the bank and do not plan to invest, then this ranch can be bought, if there is no spare money, then there is no need to buy." ”

Only then did Li Han remember: "I haven't asked Old Tom how much this ranch will sell." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, thinking that he was going to make a decision and ask again, but he forgot to ask the price.

Gavin did the math in his mind and said, "It's probably around five million." ”

"About sixteen thousand acres?" It's quite cheap, one acre is equal to six city acres, and there are more than 4,000 square meters.

Gavin shook his head: "It can't be calculated like this, the price of grassland and mountain land is not the same, and the cost of houses and equipment must also be calculated separately, and pastures with houses are much more expensive than those without houses." ”

Li Han didn't understand very well, he was not a person who was good at calculation, anyway, Gavin helped him estimate the price, and he just bought it according to this price. But don't worry, you can wait for a while, and looking at Old Tom's appearance, he is reluctant to sell the ranch immediately.

At a quarter past 8 o'clock in the evening, they drove to Reims Manor, and now they used to drive half an hour to get there, which was neither early nor too late, just right.

Reims Manor is brightly lit, and countless luxury cars are parked on the parking apron, and if they come a little later, I am afraid that there will be no place to park.

Frank Wood, the butler, personally stood at the door to greet the guests, and if it was a normal birthday party, the guests would usually hand over the gifts to the birthday star and let her open them in person. This time the banquet is so big, if the birthday star wants to personally receive the gift and open the gift, I am afraid that it will not be able to be opened until the end of the banquet, so it will be handed over to the housekeeper first, and the housekeeper will be handed over to a special person for safekeeping, and the guests will be welcomed in one by one, and then handed over to the birthday star after the banquet is over.

Frank naturally knew that Li Han was a good friend of the eldest lady, not to mention that Li Han had also saved the earl's life twice, and when he saw them, the smile on his face was much more kind and natural: "Good evening, Mr. Warren, Mr. Lee, Mr. Cumberbatch, Mr. Hiddleston, welcome." The young lady is in the living room, and the four of you please come with him. ”

On the side, a waiter in a tuxedo came over and bowed to lead the way.

Westerners are more lazy in holding large-scale banquets, and when there are many people, they will generally directly hold a buffet, unlike Huangguo, where there are tables after tables, and there are dozens or hundreds of tables at every turn, which simply can't be more troublesome.

Lydia is wearing a purple retro court-style trailing evening dress today, with ** dark purple satin tightly wrapping her proud breasts and slender waist, and the diamond pendant is hanging at the top of the deep groove, attracting people who can't take their eyes off. The skirt began to rise from the hips, layer by layer like flowers, and continued to rise, and the deep and light purple made her look noble and moving.

"Happy Birthday! Lydia," the four men greeted Lydia, "you're exceptionally beautiful tonight. ”

"Thank you." Lydia saw her friends coming, a sweet smile appeared on her face, tonight is a buffet, please feel like you are in your own home, if there is anything that cannot be taken care of, please forgive me. ”

"With our relationship, you don't have to be too polite at all." After Li Han finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head away from Lydia's eyes, and changed the topic, "I'll go eat something first, but I'm hungry." ”

Lydia's big shining eyes dimmed for a moment, and then she cheered up and nodded to Benedict and the others: "You guys go eat something first, I'll go to greet the guests, I'll be tired tonight." ”

Everyone smiled understandingly, the three of them were either celebrities or aristocrats, and they all felt the same way as Lydia's words. In their capacity, celebrating birthdays is actually only harder than usual, but sometimes it is also a work or social need.
