I really don't want to be a hero

Chapter 37 Andre

My name is Andre Varun, and I am a farmer. My family has a farm of several thousand acres. My favorite thing to do is to go fishing in the small lake next to the farm.

Today is another sunny day. After sending my daughter to school in the morning, I took my beloved fishing rod to go fishing by the lake again, but I was a little unlucky today. After a while, I only caught a few small fish, just when I was upset , The surface of the lake suddenly churned up.

I thought it was a big fish taking the bait, but there was no feeling on the fishing rod. When I was in doubt, a man like a water ghost came out of the water, and I was so scared that I threw away the fishing bucket.

………………

"So that's how it is." Gu Mian was wrapped in a blanket, sitting by the fireplace and warming comfortably, and said in fluent English, "Uncle Andre, how am I like a water ghost?"

Although both of them were startled at first, Gu Mian quickly reacted and caught up with the fleeing Andre, saying that he was a field explorer from Yuanzhou Kingdom. After the misunderstanding was solved, the enthusiastic Andre Lie still invited him to be a guest at home, and he changed out of his wet clothes and warmed himself by the fireplace.

Uncle Andre with a beard smiled honestly, and pointed to the camouflage cloak that was warming up beside the fire: "Your cloak was wrapped around you, just like a water ghost with water plants."

After finishing speaking, he asked curiously, "Are you really from Yuanzhou? You speak English really well."

"Hehe." Gu Mian laughed and said, "Yuanzhou Kingdom not only popularizes English education, but some places also have stricter requirements than Bald Eagle Kingdom, such as no accent."

"That's really strict." Andre chatted while taking ingredients from the refrigerator: "Do you know, in fact, it was my childhood dream to be a wild explorer."

Gu Mian left from the fireplace, and leaned comfortably on the sofa: "Then, did you realize your dream?"

"No, not at all." Andre shook his head and said: "In the early years, I didn't have the money to realize it. Later, I had money, but I didn't have the corresponding body and energy. Moreover, the person I promised to explore with me is no longer here. gone."

"May I ask, that person is..."

"My wife, we grew up together, did a lot of stupid things, made a lot of unrealistic wishes, and kept running around for a living after we got married. Later, when we had money and time, she died suddenly."

"Sorry for bringing up your sadness." Gu Mian apologized.

"No, don't say that, my friend." Andre shook his head and said, "It's rare that someone is willing to listen to me. I'm too happy. What's more, your career is what my wife and I want to be. "

Am I a half wilderness explorer?Gu Mian thought to himself, Uncle Andre is indeed a very good person, he smiled and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't meet Mrs. Ling, I believe she must be as enthusiastic as you."

"Of course, she is very gentle." Andre muttered while handling the ingredients: "Unfortunately, our daughter doesn't seem to have inherited this excellent quality."

He invited: "It's rare to have a guest here, how about staying here for a few days, you are hungry too, let's have lunch first, I also worked as a chef when I was young, and my craftsmanship is absolutely first-class."

Gu Mian naturally has no reason to refuse. During this period of time, he has already found out his location, which is not far from the south of Mount St. Marigan, and the surrounding EFA must be in place. The vice-oriental face will definitely be paid attention to, so it is better to fix it here first.

It is inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed to eat, so Gu Mian thought of going to the kitchen to help.

But as soon as he walked to the door of the kitchen, a smell of beef and potatoes wafted over.

Gu Mian was stunned, and for a moment, her mind went blank.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately remembered one thing - he hadn't eaten anything since last night.

No supper, no dessert, not even a sip of water, I ran away hungry all night, and missed the breakfast time!

Before, all his energy was focused on fighting and fleeing, Gu Mian hadn't noticed anything yet, but now, the smell of this food has completely mobilized his appetite.

Gu Mian swallowed, and looked into the kitchen with her head.

Uncle Andre was wearing an apron, looking after a pot of beef soup that had been simmering for a long time.

The oven next to it was baking bread, and the peeled fruit was placed beside it.

The steam rising from the pot makes the kitchen look hot, while the fishing rods and buckets have long been casually left in the corner of the hall in the distance.

Andre's switch from fishing uncle to family husband is so natural.

Noticing Gu Mian at the door of the kitchen, Andre smiled and said, "No need to help, just wait at the dining table, the food will be ready soon."

"Oh good." The greedy Gu Mian returned to the sofa and waited, thinking about the meal in the kitchen.

He didn't make him wait long, and soon, the pot of steaming beef soup was served on the table, with side dishes and bread beside it.

The properly stewed beef is rolling in the thick hot soup, the yellow and orange potatoes are already tasty, the bright red tomatoes are even more appetizing, and the deliciously toasted bread, not to mention Gu Mian is hungry now, Even for him in normal times, this is a fatal temptation.

There was no conversation at all, and Gu Mian was the first to bury her head and start eating. This fake field explorer still maintained impeccable etiquette, but this etiquette contained a raging ferocity.

When you are hungry, anything you can eat becomes delicious, and this is an undisputed deliciousness.

Andre didn't feel that Gu Mian, who only knew how to eat, was being rude. This was the best compliment to the chef.

He picked up the spoon, and took a small sip of the beef broth.

And another sip, and another sip, and another sip...

The crispy bread is also good.

Stewed beef?necessary.

Sure enough, my sword is not old, Andre thought gratified.

In the blink of an eye, Andre has become the second Gu Mian, with less table manners, but more ferocious.

In this way, the Western uncle and the Eastern boy enjoyed a delicious lunch at the same table.

It didn't take long for the pot to bottom out, the bread basket quickly emptied, and the number of fruits used after meals was also decreasing.In the end, there were only satisfied eyes and sighs full of happiness.

Gu Mian leaned on the soft back of the chair, and gave a thumbs up to the bearded uncle who was also full of comfort, "Mr. Andre, you must have been a chef with three Michelin stars when you were young. It's really delicious. gone."

Andre laughed loudly and said, "No, no, it's just an unknown small restaurant, and its cooking skills have been cultivated over the years."

The two chatted happily for a while, Gu Mian wanted to help wash the dishes, but Andre insisted not to, he said: "There is no reason to let the guests do the work."

After washing the dishes, Andre invited Gu Mian to play at the ping-pong table in the backyard. Gu Mian hadn't played it much before, but the rules were quite simple, and it wasn't impossible for a young man to play, so he also accompanied An Andre fought for a while.

　Seeking investment and various tickets.
