Chapter 96 Randolph

Walking out of the house was a middle-aged man with a kind face.

Looking at the middle-aged man, Josie frowned slightly, because this man had a little impression in his memory...but it should be the memory of the original owner.

"Are you... Josie? Josie Kahn?" Just as Josie was thinking, the other party sized him up and called out Josie's name.

"That's right, it's me...you're Uncle Randolph?" Josie also remembered that the other party was his father's friend, who used to be a hunter who lived on the foothills of the Alps outside the town, and himself His father is considered a friend, and he even hugged the original body when he was a child. It turns out that his father sold this place to him.

"Oh my god, I haven't seen you in a few years, you're so old, you came back from America? Where are your parents? ... And they are?" Seeing Josie who has grown up, called Randolph by him Uncle's man was also very happy and immediately asked a series of questions.

"Oh, they are my subordinates. Isn't this the end of the war? I happened to come to 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 just made tea!" Hearing what Josie said, Randolph seemed to feel something, so he immediately changed the subject and invited Josie to come in. Room.

Josie didn't refuse either, they came all the time, and it wouldn't make sense if they didn't go in.

So he brought Ophelia and Vito into the house, while the rest stood guard outside.

Walking into the house, it is a very typical European style, with sofas, fireplaces, radios and so on.

Josie followed his memory, and it seemed that the furnishings here had hardly changed, except that there was a kennel next to the fireplace, and there was also a St. Bernard lying in it, and there were four puppies.

And the St. Bernard at the door also walked in behind everyone, guarding the St. Bernard and several puppies in the house. Obviously, the two St. Bernards are a pair.

"You must have noticed that the furnishings here are the same as when you left, because I always thought that you might come back one day after the war is over. Look, I was right!" Randolph invited The three sat down and went to make tea for Josie and the others.

Josie and Ophelia sat down on the sofa respectively, while Vito dutifully stood five steps away from Josie.

Seeing Vito's actions, Randolph was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that it seems that Josie, a child, may have an unusual status now.

"Uncle Randolph, you have a heart, there is actually no need to do that!" Josie was quite surprised that Randolph hadn't changed any of the furnishings in the house in the past few years. From this alone, it can be seen that this Randolph He is a friend worth making, and his father can be regarded as a good friend, but unfortunately 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 if I change it or not. Come and taste it. This is the best green tea I managed to get from the ancient oriental country. It is said that it was their emperor's talent before." Drink it, I don’t know if you are used to it!” Randolph put two porcelain cups in front of Josie and Ophelia respectively, and then poured clear tea soup with a teapot.

"Of course I'm used to it!" Josie wasn't too surprised, because after he came to Austria, he discovered that compared with the love of black tea in Britain and the United States, Austrians have more mixed preferences for tea, such as fruit tea, herbal tea, and green tea. , black tea, rooibos (a shrub from South Africa), and even white tea.

Among them, green tea is more popular than black tea.

The only difference is that Austrians drink tea not by brewing it, but by boiling it.

The main reason is that like Europeans in other regions, they do not have the habit of drinking hot water, so they will not boil water alone.

Josie picked up the cup and took a sip. The familiar green tea fragrance echoed between his lips and teeth, which made him slightly startled.

"Is this Longjing?" Josie said in surprise.

Although brewing the tea slightly spoiled the flavor, but as a native of Zhejiang in his previous life, he was a relatively good tea maker. He still tasted this familiar taste, and the grade seemed to be quite high.

"Huh? Have you ever been to that country in the east? You can speak Chinese really well!" Randolph was also a little surprised, because Josie pronounced the word Longjing in Chinese with a perfect accent.

"That's not true, but I live in Chicago, where there is a Chinatown, and I learned from those Chinese people." Josie said casually.

"I see." Randolph did not doubt, but nodded, and then asked Josie, "By the way, your parents?"

"Food poisoning! He died two years ago." Although Josie didn't feel any sadness, she still pretended to be deep.

"I see, it's really a pity, but it seems that you are doing well, and your parents will be very relieved in heaven!" Although Randolph had already guessed that there was a high probability that the Kahns would encounter an accident, he really heard At that time, I was still a little bit embarrassed, "By the way, how long are you going to stay this time? If you want this house, I can sell it back to you at the original price."

"Sell it back to me? Why?" Hearing Randolph's suggestion, Josie was puzzled.

"In fact, before the war, I originally planned to go on a trip and look around and live in another place. But when 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 It was just taken over temporarily, since you are back now, I think it would be a good idea to return the house to you, and I don’t think you are short of the money now!” Randolph explained, and finally teased a little.

Such a luxurious motorcade, beautiful female assistants, and bodyguards.

It would be strange to say that such a country house could not be bought.

"I see, of course, I am happy to buy this house back!" Hearing what the other party said, Joey nodded. Although he had no plan to buy this house back, since the other party proposed it, then There's no need for me to refuse, anyway, it won't cost a lot of money, and it's time to hire a few people to look after it. If I become more famous in the future, this place will be a former residence or something.

As for living, there is no need, Neuschwanstein Castle is not far away, so why not live here 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 agreed directly.

However, both Josie and Ophelia could tell that the reason why the other party agreed so readily was not because the price was high enough, but because they didn't care much about money.

This could not help but arouse some curiosity of the two of them.

"So, Uncle Randolph, where are you going next?" Josie, who knew that Randolph was going to leave Austria, couldn't help asking.

"I'm going to see Norway!" Randolph replied.

"Norway, that's a good place!" Hearing Randolph's answer, Josie nodded...Different from her original world, this world's Norway is a place that even god kings praise 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.

Could it be a good place?
"By the way, are you going to take these puppies away too?" Josie said greedily, looking at the four puppies flopping about in their mother's arms.

"Haha, it turns out that you fell in love with 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 St. Bernard's bloodline!" Seeing Josie's expression, Randolph couldn't help laughing, and pointed out the purity of the bloodline with a little deep meaning.

It's just that Josie obviously didn't care about this, and he didn't know that the true purebred St. Bernard was basically extinct in the 19th century. The later St. Bernards were actually all large dogs such as Newfoundland and Great Dane. of mixed race.

His knowledge of St. Bernard dogs is limited to names and legends.
