Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 444 Big Swamp Pond
The singing barbecue man accidentally looked up and saw the little squirrel in the hands of a little girl, and the little girl was a foreigner, with black hair, yellow skin, big eyes, very cute.

Many people think that foreign children are very cute. For Americans, Chinese are their "foreigners".

He greeted Cheng Xinxin with a smile on his face: "Hello, sweet."

Hello sweetheart.

Bai Qian immediately said to Cheng Xinxin, "Honey, this uncle is greeting you, so you should greet him too, have you taught in kindergarten?"

Cheng Xinxin was having a good time holding the little squirrel, when asked by her mother, she rolled her eyes and thought about it, and said, "Mom, I remember."

She likes being able to show off her abilities in front of others!
Bai Qian said, "Oh? How did you say hello?"

Cheng Xinxin turned her head and said loudly to the big barbecue guy, "Hello, Hello..."

This sentence was taught in kindergarten.I taught some simple English in the kindergarten, such as some common fruits, and some simple greetings, such as hello, thank you, sorry, and so on.

I don't care how much I can remember, or communicate with foreigners, the most important thing is to let the children learn civilized language.

Cheng Xinxin stayed in the United States for a week, and she was not too restrained, and it was no problem to say hello to people, although it was just a "Hello".

Cheng He gently rubbed her head and expressed encouragement for her not being stage fright.

The barbecue guy didn't expect that such a cute little loli could greet him in English. He smiled happily, handed her a grilled chicken wing, and said, "Little girl, this is for you."

Of course, it is English.He can't speak Chinese.

Bai Qian quickly accepted other people's kindness, and then took out the change. The big barbecue guy quickly rejected it, saying: "No, no, no, I invited this, it's free, I invite this cute little girl to eat barbecue, It's my pleasure."

The rest of the tourists who were waiting to eat the barbecue looked happy, and they were not angry that the big barbecue guy gave her first, and they praised her for being cute and sweet.

Cheng He and Bai Qian are really a little embarrassed. Sometimes they go out with their children like this. As long as the children are cute, it seems that everyone around them is easy to talk to.

He hurriedly asked these tourists to choose meat first. After all, he came late and should wait behind.

After all, the barbecue was very fast, and the stove was sold out again, but it was not Cheng He's turn yet.But he wasn't in a hurry, he just waited slowly, it was considered a rest anyway.

Having said that, I have walked a lot today.

In this regard, he felt that Cheng Xinxin was pretty good. It seemed that as long as there was something fun, she wouldn't feel tired, nor would she be called tired.

Seeing her finish eating the chicken wings just now, the big barbecue guy smiled and asked her again: "Sweetie, are the chicken wings delicious? Do you like it?"

The English sentence was too long for Cheng Xinxin to understand. Bai Qian translated for her and said, "Xinxin, this uncle asked you, is the chicken wing he cooks delicious?"

While sucking the last bit of shredded meat on the chicken wings, Cheng Xinxin said, "It's not delicious. It's not as good as what Dad baked."

Bai Qian: "..."

Fortunately, the little guy spoke Chinese, and fortunately she didn't shake her head when she spoke, otherwise, how embarrassing it is!

He gnawed the other people's chicken wings clean, and said it was not delicious.

In the United States, most people would praise other people's cooking skills when they are invited, and they are polite and courteous, but in the end, she gave them a bad meal.

Bai Qian had no choice but to turn her face away, and replied in English with a bright smile on her face: "Thank you, she said it was very delicious, and your barbecue tastes very authentic."

The barbecue man was praised, and he looked proud, and said: "Of course, this is our unique flavor, and with our unique spices, it tastes endless..."

Looking at the two girls, Cheng He couldn't help laughing.

However, he really admires this big barbecue guy. For him, work is not coping, not lethargic, but a kind of pleasant enjoyment.

When it was finally their turn, he also had a mouthful of authentic American-style barbecue in the park. He thought the taste...was okay. He felt that his daughter was not talking nonsense, and it was really better to grill it himself.

how to say?Again, it is not so easy for a stomach used to eating Chinese food to accept foreign food.

It is indeed baked with a lot of seasoning, but the taste is very different from what they are used to.Forget it, don't worry about so much, just treat it as a curiosity.

If you really brought instant noodles, you don't have to eat these unfamiliar foods, but wouldn't it be the same as Bailai?
Anyway, try a little more, there is always no harm to people.

Eat something casually, sit here and rest for a while, treat it as a small lunch break.Here is a shade of trees, facing a large area of ​​crocodile swamp, there is water, so there are also gusts of breeze blowing over, not very hot.

But there is a faint fishy smell on the surface of the water, because there are a large number of crocodiles in the swamp and some creatures that live in the swamp, so there will be a little fishy smell.

Bai Qian was sitting next to her, playing some childish games with Cheng Xinxin to pass the time, and occasionally took out her mobile phone to check, and then she said in surprise: "Husband, the temperature here is not too high, it's only 27 degrees, which is higher than ours. The temperature is low in summer."

It's also summer, but it's only 27 degrees here, compared to some cities where it's always over 34 degrees, it's much better here.

However, the cool wind blowing from the surface of the water will bring bursts of fishy smell, which is slightly insufficient.

Cheng He said: "Maybe it has just rained here? So it's cooler. Hey... Do you want to take a ride on that yacht?"

He pointed to some yachts not far away and said.

This is a large area of ​​swamp, so in addition to walking those bridges to see crocodiles, you can also rent a yacht to play in the center of the swamp.

This is probably a very fashionable project, and many people are playing it.The yacht is not big, the kind that can only accommodate three or five people, and it does not drive fast, and there are no white waves behind the yacht.

Before Bai Qian could answer, the barbecue man took the initiative to explain to them: "They all want to see if there are large alligators, and they can only see them in open areas."

The person said that the largest recorded alligator in this swamp park was 5.3 meters long, while the largest American alligator was found in Wetland Island and Louisiana, north of the Lake Washington Arboretum, and was 5.8 meters long. .Some giant samples have been weighed, the largest can exceed 1 ton.

These people took yachts to the center of the swamp just to see these legendary giant monsters.

The big man chatted happily, but Bai Qian turned pale with fright, and kept saying, "Husband, let's not go; husband, let's not go, it's too scary!"

Look at those yachts on the swamp, they are only two meters long, not as big as a crocodile, what if you are unlucky and really meet a big guy?
What if the crocodile is hungry?Crocodiles are meat eaters.

It's scary to think about it.

Cheng He teased her: "Look, there are so many boats, and the people on board are all going for giant crocodiles."

In fact, he was also quite surprised. The giant beast disaster horror movies that are common in American blockbusters almost all start with a group of tourists committing suicide. They are really not afraid!

With such a small simple yacht, they dare to see the legendary behemoth.

Bai Qian shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I won't go, I dare not go."

Cheng Xinxin didn't know how to be afraid, and she didn't know what kind of concept a giant crocodile in the water was. She backed away two steps, then rushed to her mother with all her teeth and claws, imitating the voice of a monster and said, "I'm a big crocodile, I'm a big crocodile." Crocodile……"

While talking, she pretended to bite Bai Qian.

Bai Qian cooperated with her performance, while slowly backing away, pretending to be very scared. Even if the big barbecue guy next to her couldn't understand, she could roughly guess what they were talking about.

He said with a smile: "Giant crocodiles are not so easy to see. Many people are disappointed that they didn't see giant crocodiles after taking a yacht."

In the middle of the Everglades, there is a small island with some trees and some dead branches and leaves. The barbecue man said that there are some pocket-sized crocodiles on it, [-] to [-] centimeters long, small and very cute.

Cheng He stroked it. It was twenty or thirty centimeters long, and it was only a little longer than the foot. It was indeed very small.

Forget it, since Bai Qian dare not go on a yacht, let's not go, and go to other places.

Anyway, I just want to have fun when I come out to play, so there is no need to be frightened.
