Walking out of the house was a middle-aged man with a kind face.
Looking at this middle-aged man, Qiao Xi frowned slightly, because this man had a little impression in his memory...but this should be the memory of the original owner.
"Are you...Josie? Josie Kahn?" Just as Josie was thinking, the other party looked him over and called out Josie's name.
"That's right, it's me...are you Uncle Randolph?" When the other party called him this way, Josie also remembered that the other party was a friend of his father's. He used to be an Orion who lived in the foothills of the Alps outside the town, and he was the same as himself.
My father is a friend, and he even hugged me when he was a child. It turns out that my father sold this place to him.
"Oh, my God, I haven't seen you in a few years. You are already so old. Did you come back from the United States? Where are your parents? ...and who are they?" Seeing the grown-up Josie, whom he called Randolph
The uncle's man was also very happy and immediately asked a series of questions.
"Oh, they are my men. Isn't the war over now? I happened to be in Europe for some business, so I stopped by to have a look... As for my parents... it's a long story!" Josie shrugged.
"That's it... By the way, don't stand here, come in and sit down, I'm just making tea!" Hearing Josie's words, Randolph seemed to feel something, so he immediately changed the subject and invited Josie in
Room.
Qiao Xi didn't refuse. He came even though he came, and it was unreasonable not to go in.
So he took Ophelia and Vito into the house, while the others stood guard outside.
When you walk into the house, you will see a very typical European style furnishings, sofas, fireplaces, radios, etc.
Josie followed her memory, and it seemed that the furnishings here had hardly changed. There was a doghouse next to the fireplace, and there was also a Saint Bernard lying in it, and there were four puppies.
The St. Bernard who was at the door before also walked in behind everyone and stood guard next to the St. Bernard and several puppies in the house. Apparently the two St. Bernards were a pair.
"You must have noticed that the furnishings here are no different from when you left, because I always thought that you might come back one day after the war. Look, I was indeed right!" Randolph invited
The three of them sat down and went to make tea for Qiao Xi and the others.
Josie and Ophelia sat down on the sofa respectively, while Vito stood conscientiously five steps away from Josie.
Seeing Vito's behavior, Randolph was slightly surprised, but he quickly realized that it seemed that the child Josie might have an unusual status now.
"Uncle Randolph, you are serious. In fact, there is no need to do that!" Josie was also quite surprised that Randolph had not changed any furnishings in the house in the past few years. From this alone, it can be seen that this Randolph
He is a friend worth keeping, and his father has made a good friend, but it's a pity that he can't see it anymore.
"It's nothing. Anyway, I'm alone, and I don't have any special hobbies. It doesn't matter whether I change it or not. Come and try it. This is the best green tea that I finally got from the ancient eastern country. It is said that it was the talent of their emperors in the past.
I don’t know if you are used to it!” Randolph placed two porcelain cups in front of Josie and Ophelia, and then poured clear tea soup from the teapot.
"Of course I'm used to it!" Qiao Xi was not too surprised, because after coming to Austria, he discovered that compared to the British and American people's love for black tea, Austrian people's preferences for tea are more mixed, including fruit tea, herbal tea, and green tea.
, black tea, rooibos (a shrub originating from South Africa), and even white tea.
Green tea is more popular than black tea.
The only difference is that Austrians don’t drink tea by brewing it, but by boiling it.
Mainly because like Europeans in other areas, they do not have the habit of drinking hot water, so they do not boil water alone.
Qiao Xi picked up the cup and took a sip. The familiar fragrance of green tea echoed between his lips and teeth, making him slightly stunned.
"This is Longjing?" Qiao Xi said in surprise.
Although making tea slightly ruined the flavor, as a native of Zhejiang in his previous life, he was a relatively good tea drinker. He could still taste the familiar taste, and the grade seemed to be quite high.
"Huh? Have you been to that country in the east? You speak Chinese really well!" Randolph was also a little surprised, because Qiaoxi said the word "Longjing" in Chinese with a smooth accent.
"That's not true, but I live in Chicago, where there is Chinatown, and I learned from those Chinese people." Qiao Xi covered it up casually and said.
"That's it." Randolph didn't doubt it, but nodded, and then asked Josie, "By the way, your parents?"
"Food poisoning! He died two years ago." Although Qiao Xi didn't feel any sadness, he still pretended to be serious.
"I see, it's such a pity to be true, but it seems that you are doing well. Your parents will be very happy in heaven!" Although Randolph had already guessed that the Kahns had most likely encountered something unexpected, but he really heard that
When I asked, I was still a little bit sad, "By the way, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? If you want, I can sell this house back to you at the original price."
"Sell it back to me? Why?" Josie wondered after hearing Randolph's suggestion.
"In fact, before the war, I was planning to go on a trip to see and live somewhere else. But the war broke out. Your father didn't want to work for Mustache and wanted to leave, but he couldn't find a buyer in a hurry. I
I just took it over temporarily, and since you are back now, I think it would be a good idea to return the house to you, and I think you are not short of the money now!" Randolph explained, with a little teasing at the end.
Such a luxurious fleet, beautiful female assistants, and bodyguards.
It would be weird to say that you can't buy such a black and white house.
"I see, of course, I'm happy to buy this house back!" Hearing the other party's words, Joey nodded. Although he had no plan to buy back the house, now that the other party has proposed it, then
There is no need for me to refuse. It won't cost much money anyway. I'll hire a few people to take care of it. In the future, when I become more famous, this place will be like a former residence.
As for staying, there is no need. Neuschwanstein Castle is not far away. Why not stay in such a good place?
So the two of them settled the matter in a few words. Josie was not short of money and quoted a price that was much higher than the market price, and Randolph immediately agreed.
However, both Qiao Xi and Ophelia could see that the reason why the other party agreed so readily was not because the price was high enough, but because he didn't care much about money.
This couldn't help but arouse some curiosity between the two of them.
"So, Uncle Randolph, where are you going to go next?" Josie, who knew that Randolph was going to leave Austria, couldn't help but ask.
"I'm going to see Norway!" Randolph replied.
"Norway, that's a great place!" Hearing Randolph's answer, Josie nodded... Different from his original world, the Norway of this world is a place that even the God King praises and is willing to die there.
.
In addition, in the future, Thor will bring the remaining Asgardians to the earth to establish a new Asgard, which is also Norway.
Couldn't it be a good place?
"By the way, are you going to take these puppies away too?" Qiao Xi looked at the four puppies fluttering in their mother's arms and said with some covetousness.
"Haha, it turns out that you have taken a liking to these little guys. I was indeed planning to take them away together, but if you like them, I will give them to you. You have to treat them well. They are the purest ones.
St. Bernard bloodline!" Randolph couldn't help but laugh when he saw Josie's expression, and pointed out the purity of the bloodline with a hint of meaning.
It's just that Josie obviously didn't care about this, and he didn't know that the truly purebred Saint Bernard was actually basically extinct in the 19th century. The later Saint Bernards were actually similar to large dogs such as Newfoundland and Great Dane.
of mixed race.
His knowledge of the St. Bernard dog is limited to its name and legendary stories.
