53, Mitte's Tavern
The town of Whale Island is not big, and it took a little half a day to walk around.
He spent the night in the town, during which the innkeeper recommended a lot of local products and gave a brief introduction to the island.
Although they have a good climate and scenery here... But it's not much of a tourist destination, so... There are no trams or buses, so you can only get there by motorbike or on a pair of feet.
For a tourist like Hao, the boss was surprised to find Whale Island.
The main town is at the foot of the mountain, there is a port and wharf, although it is not big, the basic public facilities are still relatively sound... Most of the residents are mainly engaged in transportation and fishing, so there are more people who contribute, and there are also some temporary docked boats and passengers.
It is on these that the small economy of Whale Island is formed.
From a distance from the sea, the whole of Whale Island seems to be small... But in fact, if a normal person walks around the island, it will take two or three days, to say the least.
In addition to the main town, the island is also surrounded by a number of residential areas with a large population... The environment there is comparatively cleaner and rustic.
Early the next morning, Hao was alone and began to go deep into the hinterland of the mountains and forests on the island.
The landform and products on the mountain are quite rich, mostly shrubs and towering trees, which gives Hao the illusion of returning to the time when he was practicing in the wild... The air is fresher, the forest is full of wild animals large and small, and the natural... There are also certain dangers.
As the height of the body climbs, at some feet, you can clearly see the distant coastline.
However, because of the proximity to the sea, when you enter the core area, the vicinity is almost all dense jungle and large and small water sources.
In general, this is a piece of untouched and unspoiled nature.
It is also the natural 'training ground' for Jin Fuli and Xiaojie since childhood.
Actually, there's nothing special... What is special is this father and son.
When he returned, he asked the boss for a map to visit Mitte's tavern.
As soon as Mitte was mentioned, the boss immediately pointed out the direction and asked him to walk along a river in the island, but from this position, the road was relatively far, and ordinary people would have to walk for more than half a day at the earliest.
The circle of Whale Island is small, and Mitte's taverns are very popular with locals, and many coolies will go for a drink and a good time when they are off work or have nothing to do.
In addition, it is the 'famous' Jin Fulix... At that time, Jin caught a kingfish, the king of the swamp, which caused quite a stir. Even in the past few years, it has occasionally been mentioned and talked about.
Therefore, everyone on the island knows about this family.
By the time Hazy found Mitte's tavern, it was already dark.
The houses here are relatively scattered, not the kind that are next to each other... More like the countryside. There may be a family 100 meters apart, one in the east and one in the west, some built on the hillside, some placed on flat land, and the population is not large... Small and secluded.
It's dinner time, and smoke has risen from some of the small courtyards of houses.
The smell of rice wafts out...
As for Xiaojie's home, it is too conspicuous, the building is entangled with a big tree, standing at the root, very eye-catching.
Hazy recognized it at a glance.
However, the timing of his appearance was more coincidental, and he happened to see an interesting scene.
Xiaojie, who should be only six years old this year, was disheveled, a little dirty, and still hung with leaves, standing at the door, bending down to bow and apologize to the orange-haired Mitte, saying sorry.
"Xiaojie, I've said many times that I must come back before dark..."
"Aunt Mitte..."
Xiaojie looked a little embarrassed.
"Don't take it as an example."
Mitt didn't show too strictness, after all, a child at this age is very normal to have a little skin, not to mention that grandma also said that for Xiaojie, who has not been accompanied by his parents since he was a child, that forest is like Xiaojie's 'father', so she should not worry too much.
But how could Mitt not think too much... Xiaojie is too much like Kim!
As a cousin who grew up with Kim... Mitt doesn't want Jay to follow the same path as Kim, but as he gets older... Xiaojie's traits are more and more similar to that man.
"Excuse me... Is it still open? ”
At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard, interrupting the atmosphere between Mitt and Xiaojie.
Following the prestige, I found a fresh face in a white shirt, one hand tugging at a blazer over the shoulder, smiling.
Mitt was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Welcome." ”
Xiaojie on the side also looked at Hao and saw his identity as an outsider...
The people in front of them have the air of a 'big city', not like they are from a small place.
Then, Mitt took the initiative to open the door.
Xiaojie also nodded politely...
When passing by Xiaojie's side, Hao reached out and rubbed his head...
Xiaojie's hair is a little prickly and hard...
The lights in the house are on, the decoration is very homely, and a few regular customers are chatting... Seeing Xiaojie enter the door, several guests smiled at each other and teased, "Xiaojie... It's late again! ”
"Your Aunt Mitt is worried about you......"
In the face of the jokes of the elders, Xiaojie scratched his head, smiled a little awkwardly, and then glanced at Hao who was sitting on the bar, and then ran to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
Just being touched by this man's head made Xiaojie feel a little subtle in his heart......
For some reason, he felt that this guest was a little different... Especially... The 'smell' emanating from the body.
"Would you like something to eat? Or some wine? ”
Behind the long table at the bar, there were two people, one sitting on a chair, and Xiaojie's great-grandmother, who was Kim and Mitt's grandmother.
The other was the proprietress Mitte, she asked Chaohao.
"Little brother... I recommend you..."
A few local regulars on the side enthusiastically introduced Mitte's craftsmanship to Hao.
"I'm a little hungry, so let's get a few of their recommendations... Wine, feel free. Hazy took off her sunglasses and looked at the internal structure of the tavern, in addition to drinking and eating, it seemed that she was also selling some groceries by the way... The business scope is wide.
This is the business area on the first floor, and the second floor is mostly private accommodation.
"If you're alone, it's enough to eat one serving, and the portion is huge..."
Mitt kindly reminded.
Hao is not like an ordinary person who does hard work, compared to them, the dress is a bit 'exquisite', and a suit is very valuable at first glance.
"It's fine."
Haze smiled softly.
Mitt didn't say anything, poured him a glass of wine, and went to the kitchen to start preparing.
Hao also chatted with a few guests, nothing more than being asked, why did you come to Whale Island, so late, and found here...
Hao also told the truth, saying that he was here to travel, and the expressions of several people were very surprised...
Hazy self-deprecation is not too neatly dressed, a little out of place... It seems that wherever he goes, he can be seen to be from outside, and the other party said that he should not care, it is really a small place like them, and there are usually no tourists... They are all familiar with each other.
Thank you for your love of Whale Island.
Hao 'mingled' with a few residents, but out of the corner of his eye, he was glancing at Xiao Jie sitting in the corner.
The boy was holding a plate and eating to himself... Didn't disturb the guests, very sensible.
Xiaojie has been peeking at himself, and when Hao's gaze swept over, he immediately lowered his head again, afraid that Hao's eyes would be rude...
"It's very sharp..."
The corners of his mouth curled up in an arc.
He found that Xiaojie can always instinctively stagger his eyes from himself... This is not something that ordinary children can do.
It's not the same...
