Chapter 355 Earth Authority: Ice and Snow
The owner of the house that rented out the house to Ye Fan and others was an old man in his 60s with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
He didn't tell Ye Fan and the others his name, he just asked them to call him Mond or Old Mond.
Mond Sr. raised two sons and a daughter.
Both sons left Cook Village and found jobs and a stable life in the city, but they seldom came to visit him as an old man.
It is considered too much for both of them to visit Old Mond once a year.
It is more likely to come and see once every two or three years.
Although Old Mond's daughter did not go to work and live in Chilean cities, she lived a better life and married an American businessman.
The number of times the daughter visited Old Mond was more than the number of visits by Old Mond's two sons combined.
He even proposed to take Old Mond to live in the United States.
The traffic in Cook Village is very inconvenient, and seeing a doctor is naturally even more inconvenient. It is obviously for his own good that the daughter wants to take Old Mond to live in the United States.
But old Mond did not agree.
For him, the life here has been engraved in his bones.
The prosperity and splendor of the outside world are yearning for most people.
But for a person like him, it was terrifying.
With almost no education level, old Mond, who has been alone in Cook Village for decades, has derailed from the times outside.
Once you go to the outside world, you may not really know what you can do.
So he doesn't want to go, he is afraid of strangers, he is old, and his ability to accept is also old.
In recent years, if there were no travel agencies, Ye Fan and others would not even be able to make reservations.
Because most people in Cook Village don't understand the Internet.
In the evening, Ye Fan invited Old Mond to dinner.
Kudos to him for providing them with a great honeymoon venue.
Whether it is the big hot spring outside the house or this clean and tidy three-story wooden house, they have given them a very good experience.
These reasons are secondary.
The most important thing is that Ye Fan saw some situations of old Mond through the eyes of insight, and felt a little sympathy for him.
Because this kind of encounter is very similar to his grandparents in the previous life.
In his previous life, his grandparents were real farmers, and besides the wall clock, the most electronic product in his life was the TV.
And the TV sets are still the old-fashioned black and white TV sets, with only two or three sets, and they were used until before they were replaced by color TV sets by Ye Fan's father.
But even if it is replaced with a color TV, for this kind of old farmer who has been dealing with the land all his life, there is actually not much difference.
Because their demand for TV is almost zero.
In the eyes of Ye Fan, who was only in his teens at the time, this situation was hard to understand.
It's like he doesn't understand why his grandparents can't even use the remote control.
Their way of thinking has been nailed to that land, completely derailed from the times.
At the same time, due to age and ideological reasons, I can't absorb the current things.
The scope of their life, no matter what it is, is limited to a very small area.
This is the cage drawn by the times and poverty for them.
Among them, poverty is the root cause.
As some people say, there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty.
This sentence may be a bit extreme, but who can completely deny this sentence?
……
Generally speaking, Ye Fan would not casually look at others with insightful eyes.
But hasn't he been targeted by people from the US intelligence agency recently?
Although no evil thoughts appeared within his range of perception, he still had to be more cautious.
Ye Fan and the others ate hot pot at night.
The ingredients are all brought in by air, they are both fresh and expensive.
Although it is just a dispensable expense for Ye Fan now, but if he can, he would like to directly use the teleportation skill to bring fresher food.
It doesn't matter if it's money or not, fresh and delicious food is what Ye Fan pursues now.
Even if it is airlifted by helicopter, it is not as good as teleportation.
But now that he is being stared at, in order not to make mistakes, he can only do this.
Old Mond feels a little novel about this "full oriental" hot pot delicacy.
It's like cooking soup, but it's not the same as cooking soup.
It's more flavorful and cooks more.
I haven't eaten yet, just smelling the mouth-watering aroma that fills the air is enough to make me hungry.
"It's almost ready, let's eat!"
Ye Fan put the washed four pairs of serving chopsticks and a serving spoon on the hot pot, and said so.
Serving chopsticks and spoons can be understood as chopsticks for holding vegetables and spoons for serving soup. They don't stick to your mouth. Although they are relatively troublesome, the focus is on hygiene.
Many people in Shanghai like to use serving chopsticks.
I don't know when it started.
As for the spoon~
Isn't the whole China using it!
Since Ye Fan had already told Old Mond before, Old Mond also knew the usefulness of these things.
But he doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so he uses a serving spoon to serve the dishes.
Public spoons and chopsticks, although on the surface, they are disgusted and do not want to eat other people's saliva.
But in fact. It is true.
"Old Mond, where is the best place for skiing here?"
Ye Fan saw that Old Mond looked a little cautious, so he took the initiative to speak and bring up the topic.
Hearing what Ye Fan said, Old Mond, who had been eating in silence before, suddenly regained his spirits. He spoke Spanish with local characteristics, and told Ye Fan which places on the mountain were suitable for skiing. Where is the best place to see snow, and where is the most dangerous place.
Although Chile is located in South America, its common language is Spanish.
Among Ye Fan and others, Ye Fan can speak Chinese, English, and French.
Ye Shiling can speak English and Chinese.
Only Minina knew some Spanish, but only to the point where she could communicate.
And the reason why he can communicate normally with Old Mond mainly depends on the power of technology.
On the mobile phone, Jarvis will translate Old Mond's words for them without hindrance.
After such an explanation and drinking some wine, Old Mond's spirit was not as tense as before.
From time to time, he explained to Ye Fan some things about Cook Village and the surrounding areas.
Even, after drinking too much, he started to complain about his two sons.
In the end, after everyone had eaten and drank well, Ye Fan sent the drunk old Mond back to his residence.
Some people say that anyone who likes to drink is an alcoholic.
But it's not quite right.
Those who have bitterness hidden in their stomachs will also become drunks after encountering alcohol!
the next day.
{"Congratulations to the host for successful sign-in, sign-in reward: authority of the earth: ice and snow (With this authority, you are the god of ice and snow on the earth, controlling the ice, snow and cold air of the world.)"
