"Hi, welcome everyone." Robbins said with a smile as he looked at the six cars lined up in the parking lot.
"Do you still need to welcome me? We will also be here from now on." Looking at Robbins's arrogant look, Philemon here said immediately. After hearing his words, everyone else followed. laughed.
In the United States, cars are really just means of transportation. They are very cheap. If you want to buy a second-hand car, you can buy one for more than a thousand, two thousand, or even a few hundred dollars. , think about when I first watched Transformers, the actor only spent two thousand dollars to buy Bumblebee, which is indeed not a very expensive price.
So in the United States, basically all adults have at least one car. Regardless of whether the car is good or bad, they have one anyway.
Now all of Jiang Hai’s employees have a car. The best ones are those of Robbins and Edward. Both of them have a pickup truck. Of course, pickup trucks are also divided into three, six and nine grades. Some of the better ones are in Overseas, they all sell for around a million dollars, but Edwards and the others don’t have such good pickup trucks. Their pickup trucks are all Chevrolets, which are old cars. According to Robbins, when they were first introduced, new cars were not as good. But 30,000 US dollars, and I also borrowed some money from the bank, is really not expensive.
But in fact, the Ford Raptor F150, which is very popular in China, only sells for US$30,000 to US$40,000 here.
Except for these two pickup trucks, everyone else's cars are basically small cars.
Philemon drives a Honda MPV, also known as a commercial vehicle, a seven-seater version that can be used to take the whole family out for fun.
Burke-Dahler, probably because he is a bachelor, drives an off-road vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler, which is a rare good car here. Harriman on the other side drives a very old Subaru Forester. It must be six or seven years ago.
In the end, Belize-Lester drove a Beetle. Although it was a women's car, in terms of price, his car was the most expensive one among them.
Jiang Hai looked at the cars in front of him and couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Although there was a row of broken cars in front of him, they still had cars after all. He didn't have a car yet. Now that he had all the people, he was going to start one tomorrow. Go buy the car first.
Indeed, cattle cars are essential. In addition to cars, cattle dogs and all-terrain vehicles must be purchased in advance.
Fortunately, he was in the Boston metropolitan area, so as long as he was willing to spend money, he could buy anything.
"Okay, you go grill the fish. You men are so clumsy that the meat has been burnt by you." At this moment, Philemon's wife, who had just greeted Jiang Hai, walked to the grill. He pointed at Robbins and Edward in front of him with an unhappy expression and said, Philemon's wife is Edward's sister, so naturally she is also familiar with Robbins and the others. Her name is Vicky Turner, and she is As a full-time housewife, her cooking skills are relatively famous in the denim industry.
"You don't understand. The boss is from China. He is not used to eating meat that is too raw, so I have to grill the meat until it is fully cooked." After hearing what Vicki Turner said, Robbins here was a bit stiff. He is still very confident in his barbecue.
"Okay, hurry up and prepare the fire. Roast it until it's fully cooked. This is not the way you roast it." Looking at Robbins, Vicki Turner, who seemed to weigh more than 180 kilograms, With one push, he pushed Robbins to the side, and then got ready. Seeing Vicky Turner's movements, Edward naturally stopped his hand and left the remaining work to him. I left Philemon and went with Robbins to make a fire.
"Wow, I'm in luck tonight. It's Mrs. Turner who is the chef, tsk tsk." Seeing this scene in the distance, Bell Lester, who was sitting there, couldn't help but smile and said, While smacking his lips.
"What, Mrs. Turner's cooking skills are worth looking forward to?" After hearing this, Jiang Hai came over from a distance with two large glasses of beer. Although he was the boss of this manor, he was not like Like the capitalists of the American Empire, he feels that he is superior to others. He is quite willing to make friends with his employees, but the other people are either uncles or Harriman. They can't beat a fart with three sticks. , or Bell-Leicester is more fun, after all, they are the same age.
"That was back then, boss, you didn't know. If you try Mrs. Turner's food later, you will know what the real Boston flavor is." After taking the wine glass from Jiang Hai's hand, Bell-Lai here Ste also said with a smile.
"Oh, I will definitely try it later!" When Jiang Hai, a true foodie, talked about eating, his eyes could not help but light up. He sat casually next to Bell, waiting for the fire to be lit and the steak to be grilled. During this period of time, he chatted with Bell without saying anything. The main thing they talked about was about Bell being a soldier. Bell was not afraid that Jiang Hai was here to spy on intelligence. He said what he could and couldn't. He also explained clearly, for example, their training, their weapons and equipment, and even his own military units. In Delta State, each team member has separate equipment.
For example, firemen, snipers, rioters, communications personnel, etc., but while these personnel have certain abilities, they also need certain other skills, such as driving ability. Take Bell as an example. His professional job is to be a sniper, but he can fly in the sky, run underground, swim in the water, as long as it is a mechanical vehicle that one person can figure out, he can drive it.
This really surprised Jiang Hai. It seems that in the future, someone will open the agricultural machinery and so on, and sometimes, he can be asked to follow Edward to patrol the sea. After all, it is Edward alone. , and some are not reassuring.
While Jiang Hai was chatting there, the fire here had been lit unknowingly. The fish caught today were either cut into two pieces, or were directly cleaned and inserted directly into the iron The steak was grilled, smeared with seasonings, and placed in front of the fire. Whoever wanted to eat could grill it himself. The steak on the other side was also cooked for the first time. Out of curiosity about Mrs. Philemon's cooking skills, Jiang Hai went to eat a piece of steak first. As soon as he put it in his mouth, Jiang Hai's eyes widened. It was so delicious.
It's tender, yet fully cooked, with no feeling of being burnt on the outside. In addition, the sauce specially made by Mrs. Turner is different from the same black pepper that Robbins used to make. It's a completely different one. Taste, a piece of steak worth about three taels, Jiang Hai finished it in three or two bites, and then made another piece to eat.
"Boss, my wife's skills are pretty good. She can not only cook, but also grow vegetables. I see there is a small vegetable garden opened by Robbins over there. There are really few. We can go outside in our free time. Expand it." Seeing Jiang Hai's mouth full of oil after eating, Philemon couldn't help but walked over with a smile and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, it's indeed good. Mrs. Turner, do you have any ideas about working? Planting vegetables or something, we can talk about it later. I'm the only one here, and there are some troubles in cooking. If possible, I can Just go to your place to eat and give you some food money, okay?" While eating beef, Jiang Hai said to Philemon's wife.
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon's wife here couldn't help but her eyes lit up. In fact, she had this intention when she showed her hand just now.
After all, their family has two children. Although the eldest brother no longer needs to send him living expenses, the money for the eldest son to go to college is not a small amount of money. It is natural to make some extra money without going out to work. the best choice.
"Of course, I'm just cooking for one more person." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Mrs. Philemon couldn't help but smile. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also nodded, The two of them negotiated the price.
After all, the food we eat here is provided by Jiang Hai, and Mrs. Turner only processes it, so she is embarrassed to ask for too much. She only needs fifty dollars a week, plus Philemon. Together, that's $800 a week.
Two hundred yuan a month was still within Jiang Hai's acceptable range, and the two of them were in good agreement.
However, I didn't sign a labor contract. After all, there was really no need to sign a labor contract worth fifty dollars a week.
The dinner that followed was very successful. After the pizza arrived, everyone drank heavily and ate large pieces of meat and pizza.
Those grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, and chicken wings, to be honest, they taste so delicious. Jiang Hai has not eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Of course, the material of the thing is second, and what is better is his mood.
Tonight, everyone played until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was not over. Although Jiang Hai's current physical fitness is as strong as the human limit, after all, he didn't drink too much before. Today, he is happy and drank a little. blur.
He went upstairs to sleep. As for the others, they left after packing up the things below.
When Jiang Hai looked out of the window the next morning, except for the pile of fires that had not yet been cleared away, all the others had been cleared away. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hai smiled and seemed to have taken care of himself. These people are pretty good.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Jiang Hai went to Philemon's villa and had breakfast. The American breakfast was very simple, basically just five items, sandwiches, grilled sausages, fried eggs, oatmeal and coffee. .
What Mrs. Philemon made today was sandwiches, omelettes and oatmeal. But to be honest, Jiang Hai was very reluctant to drink the oatmeal. It was too rough and would make his throat a little bit worse when he swallowed it. But the sandwich still tasted good. .
After a simple breakfast, Jiang Hai, together with Robbins, who had just finished breakfast, sat in his old dilapidated pickup truck and headed towards Winthrop in the distance. He planned to go to Winthrop today. Went to buy a car and a dog.
