Chapter 272: Visiting the Manor
At a lavish estate on the outskirts of Manhattan, a luxury car passes through a large lawn, passes several ornamental gardens, and stops in front of a fountain pool with sculptures.
Mrs. Ilse and Zhou Mo got out of the car one after another, and the waiters in the manor immediately stepped forward and respectfully invited the two into the banquet hall.
A group of delicate-looking, bejeweled women were chatting with red wine glasses, and when they saw the two coming, they turned around and smiled at them.
Although the aesthetics of the East and the West are different, Zhou Mo still thinks that these women are all very good-looking.
Mrs. Ilse took off her coat and handed it to the waiter, and warmly embraced the women, saying to them that she had not seen them for a long time.
Zhou Mo wore a white lace skirt, a beautiful garland, and a decent smile on her face, and followed behind Mrs. Ilse.
Mrs. Ilse begins to introduce Zhou Mo to her friends.
"This is my daughter, Zhou Mo, from the mysterious ancient country of the East.
I'm going to have her my heir.
From tomorrow onwards, I will do my best to train her so that she can take over all my business......"
A group of women greeted Zhou Mo in a friendly manner, and Zhou Mo also responded in fluent English.
Mrs. Ilse had already said that she would bring her goddaughter over.
Therefore, the women prepared a meeting gift in advance.
Zhou Mo received the gift softly.
After chatting for a while, Mary beckoned everyone to the dining room for dinner.
I ate French food, a total of thirteen dishes.
It is said that there are thirteen courses, but the amount of each course is very small, and it is only two or three mouthfuls.
Dining etiquette Zhou Mo had already learned before coming.
Although she had learned hastily, after taking the Enlightenment Pill in the Pastoral System, she had an excellent memory and could clearly remember the details of the etiquette taught by Madame Ilse.
Just follow the actions of others during the meal.
After one dish is eaten, the chefs move on to another.
After a few dishes in a row, the chef brought a dish of ground beef with blood, raw eggs lying on the back, and sprinkled with crushed spices.
Zhou Mo was a little speechless for a while.
Raw!
Her flower country stomach probably won't allow her to eat this dish.
The mistress of the manor was a somewhat mellow middle-aged woman named Mary.
She was very enthusiastic about introducing this dish of beef tartare to Zhou Mo.
"Taste it, it tastes so good.
The ingredient used is the 'Shenlong beef', which has recently swept the whole country.
I heard that this 'Shenlong beef' also comes from the mysterious ancient oriental country, it has an excellent taste that other beef does not have, and its nutritional value is also higher than that of other beef.
This is what I booked half a month ago, and it was slaughtered in Huaguo this morning and airlifted over in the shortest possible time......"
Shenlong beef?
Isn't this the name that the man named Thomas gave her beef?
Zhou Mo was very surprised, she actually ate the beef sold by her own family in country M!
She often heard people say that something was flown from a certain country in China, and it looked very high-end.
I didn't expect her beef to be respected by foreign tycoons after the reverse export.
Zhou Mo was very proud.
In order to cheer up her beef, she quickly finished eating this barbaric dish.
Fortunately, it doesn't have a lot of portions.
As long as you ignore that it's raw and it's not cooked, it actually tastes good.
Zhou Mo finished eating the beef tartare and drank a sip of heavy red wine before suppressing the discomfort in his stomach.
She complimented: "This beef is so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious beef!" ”
Mrs. Ilse quietly asked Zhou Mo: "Obviously I don't like to eat, why do you force yourself?" ”
Zhou Mo replied softly: "This beef was sold by my family." ”
Madame Ilse was also a little surprised.
"I didn't expect you to really sell beef to country M.
The last time you called, I thought you were joking.
After all, you don't have many cattle at home, and no matter how high the price of beef is, you can only make a small profit. ”
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "It's just a small profit for you, but for my family, they will have a great sense of accomplishment to be able to sell the raised cattle at such a high price." ”
Mrs. Ilse thought about the simple Yang family, nodded, and said, "Also, there are still more ordinary people on the Blue Star, and ordinary people are more likely to be happy."
By the way, who are you looking for? The ability to sell beef to this estate is not small. ”
Zhou Mo said: "A man from country M who opened a western restaurant in Changshan City is called Thomas. ”
Mrs. Ilse said: "If you increase the price of your beef again, I will ask the people below to help him and let him sell the beef to the table of the queen of country Y." ”
After Mrs. Ilse finished speaking, she began to taste the taste of beef tartare.
After taking a bite, she said to Zhou Mo: "The taste is much better than the local beef of Lanxing, but it is still a little worse than that in the pastoral system." ”
Zhou Mo smiled and didn't speak.
All the cattle raised in the pastoral system were booked by the Sil family of ET Star, and it was okay for her to keep one or two heads to eat occasionally, but if she got them to sell them on Blue Star, she would be a little unworthy.
……
After eating the French food, Marie began to talk to the guests about the recent changes in the stock market.
Afraid that Zhou Mo would be bored, she specially asked her daughter to lead Zhou Mo to visit her family's manor.
Mary's daughter was not very old, only eleven or twelve.
She knew that Zhou Mo was just a country girl in the country of flowers before she became Mrs. Ilse's daughter, so she wanted to show off the luxury of her manor.
Out of the dining room, the two came to a separate cylindrical aquarium.
Mary's daughter arrogantly said to Zhou Mo: "Oh, this is my family's small fish tank.
Pretty, right?
In the countryside of your flower country, there must not be such a giant fish tank, right?
I can allow you to come up and touch it. ”
Zhou Mo looked up at the aquarium more than ten meters high, which contained some seaweed, corals, turtles, and various fish that lived in the ocean and were relatively easy to feed.
She didn't show the slightest look of shock, nor did she step forward to touch it, she only smiled politely and said, "Very good." ”
In her systematic fishing grounds, there is a 10,000-square-kilometer freshwater lake and an 18,000-square-kilometer sea.
Her freshwater lakes and seas also earn her star coins constantly.
It's much more valuable than the aquarium in front of you, which needs to keep investing money and can only raise ornamental fish!
Mary's daughter didn't see the different color on Zhou Mo's face, and she was slightly disappointed, so she took Zhou Mo to see the large lawn of her house.
"My lawn has 30 acres of ......"
Zhou Mo quickly converted: "Oh, it looks quite big, but it turns out to be less than 200 acres?" It's all used to grow grass, and it's a waste of land. ”
She is a farmer, and when she sees a large piece of land, the first thing she can think of is what kind of vegetables this land is suitable for growing and how much the yield is......
Accused of being wasteful, Mary's daughter choked.
She continued to point to the forest park behind the manor, and said, "There are a thousand acres of forest behind my manor, and countless rare tree species are planted in it......
Zhou Mo was a little surprised at this time, she looked at it for a while, and said, "This whole big forest belongs to your family?"
The large forest of about 6,000 acres is planted with cherished tree species, which is worth it!
If nothing else, just cutting down a few batches of timber every year and selling it are enough to maintain your family's luxurious life. ”
Mary's daughter listened to Zhou Mo's words and wanted to nod and say "yes", but after struggling for a while, she still shook her head honestly.
"That's not our family's private property, it's our ecological forest ...... country M."
