Chapter 136: Gail's Arsenal
Old Gale doesn't look old, but the spirit is really good, tossing all morning, not tired at all, after eating, he took Hong Tao to the basement of their house, and watched his collection, which is basically all kinds of guns, the most precious of which is 2 smoothbore front loading guns, it is said that he is still an old guy before World War I, and now he can fire normally. The eldest Gale also showed Hong Tao his secret collection, in a safe, neatly stacked 8 fist-sized green grenades.
"Is this a grenade? It's true? Hong Tao habitually stretched out his hand again.
"NO, NO, you can't touch this, just look at it, the American-made M67 was smuggled back when I retired, and no one else knows it, this is a secret between the two of us, you must not tell others, and Yoko can't do it, understand!" Old Gale grabbed Hong Tao's hand and didn't let him touch it.
"Oh, you're so evil, you even brought this back, aren't you afraid of danger?" Hong Tao heard the old man say this, very moved, he was because he lost his only son, his wife also died, lonely and afraid, a little young man willing to play with him, he regarded himself as his friend, sometimes the old man is like a child, like to tell his little secret to his playmate.
"They are very quiet, they will not explode even if they are directly hit with a bullet, as long as you don't pull this little ring, they are your friends, there is a saying in the army: a grenade with the safety removed is no longer your friend! So don't touch them and you'll be fine. Old Gail took out a grenade and put it on the palm of his hand for Hong Tao to look at it carefully, and specifically pointed to the iron ring connected to the safety pin on the grenade.
"You're crazy, but I like crazy old men, and there is a proverb in our China: old men should be crazy, young men should be steady! You are very much in line with our Chinese customs. Hong Tao looked at the green iron bump in the old man's hand, his calf and stomach trembled slightly, this thing is far from being as delicate as it looks in the picture, the surface is very rough, if you accidentally pick it up in the wild, you will definitely think that this is a copycat product.
"Oh, I like this proverb, it seems to make sense, let's go, let's go up, they're coming back soon, it's trouble for Kayla to see it, she's definitely not going to allow her children to stay with these things all day, women are stupid, they only use their eyes, never their brains." Old Gale put the grenade back in the safe and began to comment on her daughter-in-law, apparently still resentful of Mrs. Burcock's refusal to let Bloom join the army.
While Hong Tao and old Gale were learning to smoke cigars in the living room, the purchasing group finally returned, and it seemed that they had returned victorious, for each of them was like a porter, and even Bloom's wounds and his neck were full of shopping bags.
Compared with Mrs. Burcock, Zhou Xiaoli's combat effectiveness is obviously a big difference, although she also carries more than a dozen paper bags, but the number and weight cannot be compared with Mrs. Burcock, when Mrs. Burcock puts things down, a sofa that can easily accommodate 3 people is full.
"This is for you, try it out, does it fit?" After returning to her home, Zhou Xiaoli took out a long gray blouse for Hong Tao from a large paper bag and forced Hong Tao to put it on immediately.
"The fluff inside feels good, what kind of skin is this?" Hong Tao took the clothes and found that this was not a textile at all, but a leather coat, and he asked while touching the short hair on the inside of the leather coat.
"Like it? The size is quite right, this dress is very expensive, if it wasn't for the discount, I wouldn't have bought it for you. Zhou Xiaoli stood beside Hong Tao, sorting out his clothes while carefully checking for possible flaws on his clothes.
"It's very warm, this color is really weird, I thought it was cloth at first, this leather is really thick enough, and there is no smell on the skin, this is another smell, what kind of skin is this." Hong Tao thinks that this leather coat is very good, the length is appropriate, and the outer leather surface is very thick, and the fluff inside is also very dense, not like ordinary sheepskin or cowhide.
"Give you 2 chances, guess." Zhou Xiaoli sold a pass.
"Buckskin?"
"Guess again."
"Fox skin?" Hong Tao was very lacking in knowledge in this area, so he had to try to guess the expensive one, because Zhou Xiaoli mentioned that this dress was very expensive just now, and in Hong Tao's opinion, fox fur was already the most expensive embodiment, and he really couldn't think of any other animal with such thick skin and this short fluff.
"You're a big turtle!" The names of the two animals that Hong Tao said in exchange for such an evaluation.
"I don't guess, it doesn't matter what kind of animal it is, anyway, I'm very comfortable to wear, gentle and light, and so thick, since it's a gift, I'll eat steamed buns for nothing, not too dark, I don't pick any skin." Hong Tao raised his hand and surrendered.
"This is seal skin, the original price is more than 5,000 Canadian dollars, and you can buy a very good used car." Zhou Xiaoli took a few steps back, stood a little farther away, and looked at the leather coat on Hong Tao's body.
"Huh!? Tens of thousands of things I wear will not get sick! When Hong Tao heard this, he immediately felt that the leather clothes on his body were a little heavy, he liked all kinds of sports, this dress looked very casual style, and could not be worn as formal wear, but if he wore it to hunt, Hong Tao would be distressed to death.
"After the discount, more than 2,000 Canadian dollars, I will give you, you don't need to give money, the winter here is very cold, the down jacket you brought is basically useless, the thick cotton jacket you bought is too heavy, if you want to be in the field in winter, you have to have a light and warm clothes." I also have 2 pieces of this kind of clothes, which I bought before, and they are very warm. Zhou Xiaoli knew that Hong Tao was very casual about wearing clothes, in addition to jeans and T-shirts in his wardrobe, the most expensive clothes were a leather jacket, and even the suit was specially made when he went abroad, and that quality was not good.
"It's comfortable, but when I think about going out in a car, I feel distressed." Hong Tao put on the hat of the clothes, felt the comfort of the short fluff inside, and really liked this dress.
"Come on, don't cry all day long, your little fishing tackle shop makes enough money for you to wear clothes like this, and you still have a lot of dollars? Richer than me. Zhou Xiaoli glanced at Hong Tao.
"Hehe, you can't compare like this, you are a capitalist, I am a small shop owner, but I still thank you, but I don't have so much money to buy you a famous brand, so I have to pay off my debts, let's go." Hong Tao likes this woman more and more, she is very capable, very considerate, and a good candidate to be a wife, but her identity has dispelled Hong Tao's extravagant expectations, and now she can only be a little ghost of Lord Yama, and she will be comfortable for a while.
"Don't make a fuss, put me down...... I invite my neighbors over for dinner in the evening, and it's time for us to cook...... Yes! Zhou Xiaoli was picked up by Hong Tao and walked upstairs, although she was unhappy, her body also symbolically twisted a few times, and her mouth was not right at all.
Zhou Xiaoli didn't lie, the old Gail family came to eat again in the evening, and Zhou Xiaoli praised Hong Tao's cooking skills when she was shopping in the mall, but Bloom and Joan, who had a intestine in their stomachs, wanted to taste Hong Tao's craftsmanship very much, so Zhou Xiaoli invited their family to taste the original Chinese food cooked by Hong Tao in the evening instead of Hong Tao.
In the upstairs bedroom, Hong Tao severely punished the woman with her elbow turned outward, and she casually took work for herself without her permission, and several slaps on the ass were a lesson, but the final result was that Hong Tao was defeated, in this kind of confrontation between spirit and flesh, men are often completely overturned in the case of achieving a great advantage, Hong Tao is no exception, originally he thought that he had eaten several meals of Canadian beef and seafood, and he might become more violent, But the cruel truth is that education has taught him again.
I spent in bed until half past four in the afternoon, and Hong Tao had to hold his waist and move from upstairs into the kitchen, at this time Zhou Xiaoli was humming a song in the kitchen with a red face to prepare dinner, and after seeing Hong Tao's appearance, he deliberately twisted his butt at the man.
