My Ranch

Chapter 678: Poseidon Festival

Hey, what kind of wind has brought Uncle Wallis here? Hurry up and sit inside. Jiang Hai said with a smile as he watched the car slowly parked in front of his manor, but at this time his parking lot But we can't park the car, because there is a construction team working here right now! After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Mayor Wallis also glared at him, then parked the car far away, opened the door and walked over.

Are you busy lately? Looking at Jiang Hai, Mayor Wallis asked him with a smile, while looking at the place where the construction teams were in front of him.

It's okay. I mainly just keep an eye on it. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the only idle person in the manor now. Shrugging, Jiang Hai said to Mayor Wallis. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Wallis The mayor couldn't help but laugh.

After hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, leisure time will always pass, and now the manor has become busy.

Since entering March, Jiang Hai's manor has basically been hitting the back of the head with his feet.

First of all, in March, the snow melted, and Jiang Hai’s plan to build a parking lot was put on the agenda.

The greenhouse is okay, it can be built very quickly, but building the parking lot and the road access is an out-and-out big project. Two major roads need to be built, one from Jiang Hai's villa to the dock. Yes, half of it needs to be built in the middle to go to the airport, and of course to the cowshed. The other one needs to be built along the river to block street lights and so on. These two roads alone will be very long. trouble.

Jiang Hai didn't care about money, nor did he care about money, but he spent a lot of time sincerely, and it took almost a month to complete the repair.

Secondly, spring is coming and the flowers are blooming. Jiang Hai and the others should plant the land, and a new round of cultivation in the vineyard will also begin.

In this case, the eight of them, Aphra, almost grew up at the winery, and they have not come to live with Jiang Hai recently.

Qi Jie and Qi Ya took Darlene and Marianne to start planting vegetables. Because many women in this manor went to the beach villa, the responsibility of growing vegetables was left to them. Of course, In the evening and morning, they would also come to plant vegetables. In fact, they were still the main force, while Qi Ya and the others only came to watch or water the vegetables.

But this also requires people to keep an eye on it. The two bodyguards, Azalina and Connerson, were not idle, but went to work, because don't forget that there is another case between Jiang Hai and Dufamen. There is business to be done. Under such circumstances, there will be time for ghosts.

Everyone had something to do, but Jiang Hai was the only one who was idle, so he came over to supervise the work.

The greenhouse can be built in a few days. It's simple. After all, Jiang Hai doesn't plan to build a big one, but the parking lot and these two roads are very time-consuming. Plus what Jiang Hai has done, They are all of the best kind, with a bottom made of steel bars, columns filled with cement, steel bars and gravel, and a roof made of alloy, making the entire passage extremely strong. According to the person who took over this project, it was Hert-Charles. That said, let alone snow, rain, or a tornado, it is absolutely impossible to cause any damage to this parking lot.

He is so determined that if there is a problem within five years, he will not pay for it and will fix it for free. Originally, it was only supposed to be for three years, but he dared to say five years. Jiang Hai also believed him, and he had no right to say anything. habits, start directly.

Unknowingly, it has been three days of work, and the parking lot is gradually starting to look like it. This is always a good thing.

Originally, you were busy here, so I shouldn't have come here to ask, but...you are now the backbone of our place. I think it would be better to come here and ask, will you participate in this year's Poseidon Festival? Looking at Jiang Hai, After being busy, Mayor Wallis decided to ask Jiang Hai after hesitating for a while. After all, this matter was not about Jiang Hai, but also about the situation of the town.

Poseidon Festival? Hearing this word, Jiang Hai's mind couldn't help but drift back to last year. Last year, the day after he took care of the mountain lion for the first time seemed to be the Poseidon Festival in the town. However, because he and the little boy had He didn’t know many people in town, so he just went to the parade.

But that time, he also copied a lot of good things, such as those treasure maps of sunken ships. Those were absolute night grass.

But this year he is no longer planning to go to sea and hang out in sunken ships. He has a lot of things to do this year, including fishing at the end of March and harvesting tea leaves at the beginning of April. In the middle of the month, he will go to the New York Beef Cattle Show where he won the championship last year. Ning will go to France to participate in the Magon Wine Competition. There will be a Brussels International Wine Competition in May. It depends on the situation in June, but summer has just begun, which is not a good time to go overseas.

In the summer, the storms on the sea are very strong, so you have to avoid June, harvest lobsters in July, and harvest tuna in August. Of course, you can also go fishing, and a new round of fishing will be harvested in late August. Grapes, grapes are harvested in September to make wine, and winter comes again in October. A year has passed just like that, so although Jiang Hai looks a little careless, in fact, his time is very full.

The reason the train runs fast is because each carriage has a power unit, uh... it's not a train, it's a train. If you want to run fast, you all rely on the headband.

Although Jiang Hai does nothing, there is no doubt that he is the driving force in this manor.

He doesn't have to work, but others have to be here. And listening to Mayor Wallis, going to participate in the Poseidon Festival doesn't seem like last year. It's just a parade. This makes Jiang Hai a little confused. It’s best to do it. After thinking about it, it’s better to ask first.

Um, is it necessary to participate in this thing? You also know that I don't understand these things very well. Jiang Hai scratched his head and asked Mayor Wallis. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Mayor Wallis I also talked to Jiang Hai.

Just like what Robbins-Garcia and Jiang Hai said last year, this Poseidon Festival is actually superstitious.

Pray for abundant fishing supplies and calm seas. Last year, Jiang Hai didn't go fishing. He just went to the sea to touch some fish, so it doesn't matter if he comes. But if he wants to go fishing this year, he won't go to participate. The Poseidon Festival might not be so good.

So Jiang Hai thought for a moment and called Edward Anderson first. It was exactly what Jiang Hai thought.

They were going fishing this year, so they had to attend the Poseidon Festival. After receiving the news, Jiang Hai also looked at Mayor Wallis.

Uncle Wallis, we are going to participate. Can you tell us what you need us to do? Is it money or something? Jiang Hai said seriously while looking at Mayor Wallis. Although he did not believe this, he Sometimes these habits still need to be respected.

What's more, if Edward Anderson said that he must participate, then Jiang Hai would not touch the face of his No. 2 general.

You don't need to pay, but after all, your status is different now, so if you want to participate, you can't just follow the crowd like last year. This year I plan to let you hold the gift of Poseidon. Hearing that Jiang Hai was determined to participate, Mayor Wallis nodded with satisfaction, and then stated his purpose of coming here.

Let me hold it? Hearing Mayor Wallis's words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment. Jiang Hai knew very well what the Poseidon's gift was.

Last year he saw the Atlantic Poseidon slug, but last year he took the initiative to help, but Mayor Wallis didn't let him touch it. According to Mayor Wallis's words, this Poseidon's gift, Only the mayor can hold it up, but what does this mean this year?

Every year at the Poseidon Festival, there are only three possibilities for the person holding the Poseidon's gift. One is an elder whom everyone believes in, the other is a noble envoy of the gods, and the third is a brave man. As for me, although it is a bit awkward to say this. I'm sorry, but as the mayor of this town, I am still a convincing elder, but among us, there are no angels, and there were no brave men before, but it is different now... Jiang Hai saw that With the confusion in his eyes, Mayor Wallis here couldn't help laughing, and then spoke to Jiang Hai.

Why are they different? After listening to these three names, Jiang Hai checked them, but none of them seemed to match.

He is definitely not an elder, and he is destined to die. Secondly, he is definitely not a brave man, and he is destined to die.

Thirdly, it is even more impossible for him to be a divine envoy. If he is from the East, there are still some theories. After all, he still has a dragon pattern on his body.

But this is the United States. The dragons in America are all big lizards with wings. What kind of messenger is he?

So after hearing what Mayor Wallis said, Jiang Hai became even more confused. Why could he praise this thing?

Because you are the angel who leads the residents of the town to a better life, you can also be regarded as an envoy of God. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Mayor Wallis couldn't help but smile and said, and when he heard him With the explanation, Jiang Hai instantly became Spartan...

If he is like this, he can be regarded as an envoy of God... Haha! He seemed to see him wearing a priest's uniform, and then said to the beautiful nun kneeling in front of him: Come, child of the Lord, this is the trumpet of heaven, please take it in your mouth lovingly...

Uh, can you? I'll pay directly, and then just follow along like last year. After hesitating, Jiang Hai said to Mayor Wallis. He is a person who is really afraid of trouble. , and now it seems like it’s really troublesome.

This is definitely not possible, otherwise the townspeople would not be able to spare me. Haha, don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. It will only be two days. I will come to you in advance then. Take your seat on the first day, and the festival will be on the second day. Just do as I say. Hearing Jiang Hai's obvious excuse, Mayor Wallis shook his head, and Jiang Hai finally agreed. He would not let Jiang Hai do it easily, so he patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder, and the matter was settled.

Then, with Jiang Hai feeling a little depressed, he happily drove away. However, Jiang Hai waited until night to tell the story. Originally, he thought that everyone would object because it would delay the construction period. Woolen cloth.

But unexpectedly, Robbins-Garcia and the others were extremely excited, because in their eyes, the annual Poseidon Festival was extremely sacred.

This is like being a torchbearer for the Olympics. To some people, it is a thankless job. They don’t want to watch the Olympics anyway, and they don’t pay attention to it. If they have time, they might as well sleep at home or do other things. Some of my own things.

But some people think that it is a supreme honor. They are responsible for holding Poseidon's gifts during the Poseidon Festival. At least in Winthrop, this is a supreme honor. Edward Anderson and the others will never encounter it in this life. That fish tank, what that fish tank represents, is Winthrop's supreme honor. Edward Anderson remembers that when he was a child, he had a friend who went there at night because he was curious about the gift of Poseidon. At that time, he quietly entered the room where the Poseidon's gift was kept, but accidentally broke the fish tank.

Later, he was directly expelled from the town. Since then, Edward Anderson has never seen him again. This shows how important this position is in the eyes of Winthrop people. Now Jiang The sea actually wants to hold the fish tank!

In their opinion, this is not a fish tank, it is not an exaggeration to say it is the Holy Grail.

Don't worry, boss. I'll call my wife over when the time comes to help you watch the construction. There will definitely be no problem. You must practice well! Looking at Jiang Hai eagerly and with admiration, Philemon - Turner said with a serious face, even asking his wife to take leave and come back to watch.

After hearing Philemon's words, the other people in Winthrop nodded enthusiastically. This matter must not be taken carelessly.

Seeing their enthusiastic look, Jiang Hai didn't know what to say when he wanted to complain. In the end, he could only smile slightly awkwardly, but at the same time, he also faced what he wanted to accomplish. This mission has some curiosity.

As time goes by, Dufamen has sent people over to take away the first batch of fodder, and the greenhouse has been completely built and ready for use. After the seedlings are planted, the fertile land will freeze to death in the winter. The seedlings are also growing vigorously.

The weather has also reached around ten degrees, and the annual Poseidon Festival has begun again at this time...

The day before, Jiang Hai left home and was busy from morning to night, walking the route between the town and the seaside no less than twenty times.

After remembering all the requirements clearly, I still had to endure Mayor Wallis' constant verbosity.

But fortunately, after this most boring day has passed, the next day is the beginning of the Poseidon Festival! [To be continued. ]
