The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1219 The Farm of Justice ([-])
"Aren't you the guests that Hal said? Please come in." Martin moved away, and turned back to the room and shouted: "Jessica, the guests are here, is the meal ready?"

An elderly lady came out of the kitchen, followed by another young man. Hal introduced: "This is my brother, you can call him Jim, he is studying in Los Angeles, and his dream is to become a big brother in Hollywood." star."

Jim smiled cheerfully. He didn't look much like Hal, and he had freckles on his face, but he looked handsome and handsome, and he did have astrology.

Lucifer walked up to Jim, shook hands with Jim and said, "I think your dream will come true. I have seen many Hollywood stars, and they are not as handsome as you."

"Sir, if you praise him again, his tail will go up to the sky." Martin said as he walked back to the kitchen with Jessica, and then went to the yard through the small kitchen door. After a while He brought back a live fish and threw it on the chopping board.

Jessica, who was chopping vegetables, turned her head to look at him and said, "It seems that you are going to show off to our guests again."

With a "bang", Martin knocked the fish unconscious with a wooden stick in his hand, cut off the fish head with a knife, and said, "Yes, the secret of the Martin family... Gentlemen, there is Who doesn't like spicy food?"

"Get me one with extra chili!" Hal called to the kitchen.

He took off his thick jacket in a hurry, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Schiller and Lucifer to sit down on the sofa.

Schiller looked at the environment in the room. This is a very typical fisherman's house. There is a large stone fireplace in the center of the living room. The Christmas wreath hanging on the fireplace has not been taken off. The front of the fireplace is used for entertaining guests. sofa.

The left side of the sofa is the window, and the right side is the stairs. There are group photos hanging on the wall of the stairwell, all of which are members of the Jordan family holding various big fish. There is a pair of fish bones hanging in the closet under the stairs. Walk along the stairs, behind it is the dining room and kitchen.

"My parents are not the talkative type. My father is a pilot and my mother is a fisherman's daughter, but you have to believe in their enthusiasm and cooking skills. Everyone in the Jordan family can cook."

Lucifer saw a photo hanging on the wall. Among the many photos with the fish, this photo was particularly eye-catching. It was a photo of two young men wearing pilot helmets and an airplane.

Noticing Lucifer's gaze, Hal said, "That's not me, but my father and his comrades in arms, or his chief."

Hal stood up, walked to the side of the photo, groped the frame with his fingers and said, "My dad was a pilot recruited in World War II. At that time, he was very young and almost died in an air crash. Well, his officer saved him."

Schiller also walked over and looked at the special one among the photos all over the wall. Two young men wearing pilot helmets smiled brightly, with a special atmosphere of the war years.

Then, Hal pointed to the other photos on the wall and introduced one by one, which member of their family this was, and where such a big fish was caught, until the steaming hot meal was brought to the dining table.

Schiller was a little surprised to find that the dishes here are not mainly seafood, but a lot of beef and mutton and staple food. While setting up the plates, Hal said: "Most of the aborigines in Seaside City have the experience of ocean fishing. , if you stay on the boat for three months and can only eat seafood every day, you will never want to eat any fish in your life."

Lucifer nodded immediately, expressing his approval, and then cut himself a piece of chicken thigh.

Hal pursed his lips, motioned Schiller to look at the fish-based dish in the middle of the table, and explained: "My father saw that you are not a fisherman, so he specially added a seafood dish. This is my father's dish. Good dishes, flavors that you can’t find anywhere else.”

Schiller glanced at the fish placed in the center of the table, and he found that it was not like the usual American way of handling fish. It was not a fish fillet or fish fillet, but a whole fish that was first grilled and then stewed. Quite a few peppers and spices.

"I learned this from one of my comrades in arms. After he returned from a plane crash, he learned the skill of grilling fish in a primitive tribe." Martin said, "They will stuff the belly of grilled fish with Herbs, and then stewed, the taste is quite good, not fishy at all."

Schiller opened a piece of fish with a fork, put it into his mouth, and found that it was as Martin said, the fish was very tender, the skin was crispy, not fishy at all, and the fresh and spicy taste made people feel it instantly. covered in sweat.

At the end of the meal, this fish dish became the most popular dish. Hal, Jim and Lucifer were all screaming at the heat, but they still happily poured fish into their mouths.

Schiller's diet is also relatively light, but Gray Fog seems to like chili very much. He said that it can provide different nerve stimulation to the symbiote, so although Schiller is calm on the surface, Gray Fog is hot in his mind. Screaming and screaming.

After a meal, the Jordans went out for a walk and walked the dog by the way. Jim went to the town to buy things to bring for the start of school. Schiller, Hal and Lucifer sat around the sofa by the fireplace, and Hal took a walk from the closet next to him. Take out a bottle of wine and a few glasses.

"I heard you want to open a bar in Seaside City? That's a good idea, but do you want to target locals or tourists?"

"I don't know, do you have any suggestions?" Lucifer leaned on the sofa and asked with his hands on the back of the sofa.

"You can only choose one of these two customer groups, because their consumption styles are completely different. Among the cities on the west coast, Seaside City is relatively conservative. Most of the aborigines here work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There's not much nightlife."

"If you want to satisfy their preferences, you can't just sell alcohol in the bar, but also sell snacks, desserts, and even pet food. You can understand it as a comprehensive convenience store."

"Of course, to sell these things, you must have various permits. It is not difficult to obtain a permit, but you have to go to audit every year, and someone will come to check."

"And if you want to survive in the local area, you have to maintain a good reputation, you can't fight against the citizens here, you have to talk about some fashionable topics, and it is best to understand the fishery, which is quite difficult for a foreigner of."

"It's much simpler for tourists. What nightclubs are like in other places are what they are here. Drinking carnival, dancefloor rock, tourists travel all the way to a city so far away, but they still like these things."

"If you can invite a few popular West Coast singers to live here, and have a cool graffiti wall, then students from several nearby urban universities will be attracted to you."

Hal originally thought that Lucifer would be afraid of trouble and would choose the latter model, but Lucifer touched his chin and said, "I just want to know which of these two styles of bars will have a higher turnover, and which is more Stablize?"

"During the peak tourist season, nightclubs for tourists are of course more popular. Tickets can be sold at a high price, and drinks can also be sold at a high price. But if the peak season passes, it may be very deserted. The advantage is that you can take advantage of this Time to travel."

"It's much more troublesome for bars targeting locals. The turnover will be very stable throughout the year, which means you have to keep buying, replenishing, and tallying."

"That's it." Lucifer agreed.

Hal took a sip of his wine, looked at him in surprise, and said, "I didn't realize that you are actually that kind of old-fashioned person. This kind of pub is not easy to open. You have to deal with all kinds of local people, and You have to make people like you."

Schiller shook his head and said, "It can be seen that you don't want him to choose this."

"Because this kind of bar is really thankless, and the money earned in a year may not be as much as that kind of nightclub earns in a quarter." Hal seemed to disagree, so he looked at Lucifer and persuaded: "And that kind of pub It’s not something you can do alone, someone has to watch the store when you go to buy goods, and the locals will trust the boss with a stable family relationship more.”

"It's okay." Lucifer waved his hand and said, "I can let Maizi come over to look at the store, oh, she is my girlfriend... well, it can also be said to be my ex-girlfriend."

"Haven't you seen it? What he fears most is being idle." Schiller smiled and shook his head and said, "He can't keep his bar in Los Angeles open, not because he lost money, but because no one came during the off-season. He's idle as hell."

"Then why not take this time to travel?" Hal asked.

"I have been traveling for tens of thousands of years." Lucifer said helplessly: "I have measured every inch of land on this planet with my footsteps, and I know the grandfather and great-grandfather of every tree and every stone here."

"Forget it, let's not mention this, Schiller, you said before that you and Hal have cooperated in a business that may help my bar. What is that?" Lucifer asked with some doubts.

Schiller and Hal looked at each other, Schiller leaned on the armrest and said, "You should also know. Hal has another profession, the Green Lantern who maintains the peace of the universe. Of course, you stayed on the earth." After so many years, I should also understand that every person on earth has a strong sense of responsibility for civilization and collective honor."

"Therefore, even though he may become the greatest Green Lantern, Hal still chooses to firmly stand on the side of mankind, for the well-being of all mankind, and actively took a series of actions."

"What are you doing?" Lucifer had a bad feeling.

"At the same time, Hal's good social image allowed him to make many friends in the Green Lantern Corps. His understanding of justice inspired his friends and also inspired their sense of racial honor."

"That's why the Green Lanterns have cooperated to put the energy of the Green Lantern and the Green Lantern Ring into use at a more microscopic level without endangering the law and order of the universe or affecting their own work..."

"speak English."

"We steal electricity."

Lucifer's eyes widened, and he lingered on Hal's and Schiller's faces for a while. The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, so he asked, "...how much did you steal?"

"Not much." Schiller smiled.

"How much is not much???"

Hal snapped his fingers.

Lucifer saw that outside the window opposite the sofa, on the calm sea, a green mountain appeared out of thin air.
