My Manor

Who says that Americans are stupid, big, black, and heartless? Listening to the old man's words, Jiang Hai's mouth kept twitching. Well, in fact, if you put yourself in his shoes, there are many people in China, especially in some big families. Those things would drive people like Jiang Hai, who are unorganized and undisciplined, crazy. But that is domestic affairs, no matter how many, it is understandable. When you go abroad, it is a little difficult to integrate.

But fortunately, Jiang Hai is not here to work; he is here to be a boss, which is much better.

"Thank you, Uncle. I don't even know your name." Hearing that the old man had finally said almost everything, Jiang Hai had bought almost everything he wanted to buy. When he came to the supermarket, he used to buy things when he had no money. Now that he has money, he naturally buys more. His cart is almost full at this time. Just like the old man said, Thanksgiving is coming soon. He specially bought a whole turkey that has been packed, and also bought a few turkey legs and a few turkey breasts, as well as some corn and pumpkins. Of course, the most important thing is vegetables, which is Jiang Hai's main purpose here.

In addition, he made a lot of wine from fishing. Jiang Hai was not very good at drinking.

In China, he would drink five or six bottles of beer, and then he would stop. But after arriving in the United States, he doesn't know if it's because they often have dinner together, and they have to drink a little at dinner. Jiang Hai, who didn't have an alcohol addiction before, now likes to drink a little, especially in the afternoon, when he leans on a recliner, basks in the sun, reads novels, or plays games, watches TV, and drinks a glass of iced beer, with some snacks such as braised beef and peanuts. It feels really good.

Almost 70% of the beer he got from Old Tony went into Jiang Hai's stomach. This time, he came to the supermarket to buy some wine, and then when he left, he would go to Old Tony's to get a few barrels. The beer brewed by Old Tony himself is much better than the one he bought.

And the beer he bought now is mostly for those outsiders. After all, who doesn't have guests in their home?

In addition to beer, there are many foreign wines, whiskey, brandy, gin, rum, etc. Jiang Hai bought some of them.

These wines can be given to his cowboys and fishermen, especially in winter. Although they don't have to graze, it's still very cold at the docks and cowsheds every day. Drinking some strong wine is good for their bodies; at least it will keep them warm.

As for the problem of getting drunk, Jiang Hai doesn't think he needs to worry about it. At least these guys are not so easy to get drunk.

"Oh, my name is Wallis Kirk, the owner of Green Forest." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the old man chuckled and said.

"Uh, Uncle Kirk, do you know me?" Hearing the words of this old man, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned.

"Winthrop is not very big in total. There are not many yellow people here, and there are even fewer yellow people who don't look at the price when buying things. It seems that there is only one yellow person of this age who wears ordinary clothes and doesn't look at the price when buying things." Hearing what old Kirk said, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile awkwardly, as if it was really like this.

"Okay, our conversation is coming to an end. Young man, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to come to my house to play." Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, Old Kirk smiled, then patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder and left with his cart.

Seeing the old man leaving, Jiang Hai couldn't help but curl his lips. Go to his house to play? Jiang Hai didn't know him either—what a joke.

"Hey, are you familiar with Mayor Wallis?" Just as Jiang Hai was about to buy some sauces, a black guy next to him looked at Jiang Hai with curiosity and asked. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but stop.

He was originally wondering why this old man paid so much attention to him. It turned out that this guy was the mayor here.

"Interesting," Jiang Hai muttered quietly, and then he pushed the cart to the sauce shop. After buying some Mexican chili sauce, Jiang Hai went to pay the bill. Because he bought a lot of things, the supermarket even asked the security guard to help Jiang Hai move these things into the car. After giving the security guard a tip of ten dollars, Jiang Hai drove to Old Tony's.

After pulling two large barrels of beer, Jiang Hai returned to his manor. Before returning, he had called Robbins and asked them to come and help move things. When his car was parked, Robbins, Philemon, and Bell had been waiting here for a long time.

"Haha, boss, you really bought a lot of things." Looking at the things in Jiang Hai's car, Robbins shook his head. He knew that this was bound to happen when Jiang Hai went to town. He couldn't help laughing and jumped into the car to start moving.

"Wow, boss, your clothes are heavy. How many did you buy?" Seeing Robbins get in the car, Jiang Hai also parked the car, climbed into the car, picked up his clothes, and handed them downstairs. The person who took the clothes downstairs was Bell. But as soon as he took it, he felt his hand sink. He immediately lifted the big bag with force. He gritted his teeth and carried it into the villa. After finally throwing the things on the carpet of the villa, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and asked curiously.

"The clothes are not that heavy, but there are two knives, a bow, and a hundred arrows in it. I guess this is heavier." Hearing Bell's words, Jiang Hai lifted a huge beer barrel with one hand and said to him while moving it in.

"There are knives and bows? Boss, let me see them later." After all, Bell was a soldier. When he heard Jiang Hai's words, his eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said to Jiang Hai. After hearing Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai naturally agreed.

"Hey, boss, did you buy a turkey?" At this moment, Philemon, who was moving things in, saw the big turkey Jiang Hai bought and asked Jiang Hai in surprise.

"Thanksgiving is coming soon, and you didn't tell me. I went to the supermarket in town and saw that they were having a promotion, so I bought it. It's just right. You can take the turkey back later. I can't cook it either, so I'll go to your house for a meal." After hearing what Philemon said, Jiang Hai immediately said that turkey meat is not delicious, it's more for the freshness and festive atmosphere.

However, after hearing what Jiang Hai said, Philemon and Robbins couldn't help but smile and shake their heads. Philemon looked at Jiang Hai and said, "That won't work, Boss. My oven can't hold such a big turkey. I can only leave it at your place."

After hearing what Philemon said, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then patted his head. At first, he only thought about buying a big chicken, and forgot that ovens also have different sizes. It seems that in this residential area, such a big turkey can only fit into his oven. Thinking of this, Jiang Hai waved his hand and immediately announced that he would come to his place during Thanksgiving.

"Haha, Boss, we would have come even if you didn't say it. Thanksgiving is a gathering." Hearing this, Bell also laughed.

"Oh, it's thanks to me that I bought this turkey. Otherwise, I would have bought it now, what if I couldn't get one?" Hearing what Bell said, Jiang Hai smiled proudly. It seems that the turkey he bought was quite right.

"Boss, there's really no need to rush for turkeys. Even if we don't buy them, we can still catch them. There are a lot of them in our woods." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins also said.

"We still have turkeys here?" Hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at him.

"Yes, there are quite a few. In addition to turkeys, there are also many seabirds. These seabirds don't fly. They will nest in our forest in winter. I remember that time when we went out to sea, didn't the boss see a lot of puffins? They live in that forest." Seeing Jiang Hai's slightly different look, Philemon also said.

"Oh, I remember!" Hearing Philemon's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but pat his forehead. He also remembered that he seemed to have seen a lot of puffins when he went out to sea that day. In addition to puffins, there were also seagulls and so on. Philemon said that these seabirds all lived in his forest. He listened carefully at the time but then forgot.

"But can we catch the birds in those forests?" Now that he remembered it, Jiang Hai couldn't help but become interested. He looked at the people in front of him with curiosity and asked, his face full of surprise.

"Of course you can. Apart from some protected birds, you have the right to deal with all the animals in this manor, including those birds and their eggs. There must be at least dozens of turkeys in that forest. Every year around Thanksgiving, I will kill a batch to maintain the number of forest populations." Seeing Jiang Hai's curious expression, Robbins also said to him, but he didn't mention that he would sell the turkeys he killed, which could be considered a supplement to the family income. However, even if Jiang Hai thought of this level, he didn't point it out. After all, he had only taken over this manor for a few months. In a sense, the turkeys killed by Robbins were not his property at that time.

"Then let's go and have a look later?" Hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai's heart was also a little itchy. He couldn't help but raise his head and said to the people in front of him with an eager face.

"Okay, let's go take a look after we pack up." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins took a look at the weather outside. Today's weather is still very good. Although it is a little cold outside, the wind is not strong. The sun shines on people, which is warm. It is really a good time to hunt. Since Jiang Hai is interested in these things, they must go.
