The four of them walked into the house, chatting and laughing, and saw the table with rich food and four sets of empty tableware. The Jones brothers immediately realized that they could have another delicious meal at noon. They were still not satisfied with the big meal last night, and now they suddenly saw a large table of delicious food again, and they were busy all morning in the cold and wet environment. The two brothers immediately cheered with joy.
"Hey, Albert, is this a delicious meal you prepared specially for us? Wow, is this the legendary Chinese hot pot?" Michael Jones asked excitedly.
Although Roy Jones was also very happy, he did not ask these questions. Instead, he smiled and said to Yang Jing: "Albert, come, let me introduce you. This is Erwin Baldwin, the best farmer in Alm Town, and this is Oscar Robertson, who is as good a farmer as Erwin. They used to serve Bob just like us. Guys, this is Bob's good friend, Albert Yang from China."
Yang Jing reached out his hand and shook hands with the two tall farmers. He said to the slightly reserved farmers, "Erwin, Oscar, nice to meet you. Come on, sit down and warm up. I just made the hot pot, but I didn't expect you to come, so the dishes are not well prepared. You sit down and rest for a while. I'll make some dishes. It will be quick."
Seeing that several people had sat down, Yang Jing ran to the side and started washing some vegetables.
In this typical American house, the kitchen is not separate, but connected to the dining room and living room. So, when Michael saw Yang Jing busy, he naturally took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help.
Roy also smiled and said to the other two: "Albert is a very good friend. He slept here with me and Michael last night. Don't be shy. Just treat Albert as a good friend like us brothers."
Roy's words made the two men relax. The three of them took off their coats and went to the bathroom to wash up. When they came back, there were more dishes on the table.
Yang Jing couldn't help but add some vegetables, cut some more beef, and took out some seafood to thaw so that he could eat it with hot pot later.
The four of them had obviously never eaten hot pot before, and they were all clumsy when eating, but the atmosphere was very good. Although Erwin and Oscar were both in their thirties, once they got to know each other, Yang Jing found that they were actually quite interesting.
Erwin's personality is similar to that of Jones, calm but passionate. As for Oscar, he is more dull, but he would occasionally tell some hilarious jokes. So Yang Jing knew that Oscar was a real dull guy despite his dull appearance...
Yang Jing used a colander to scoop out the dishes and meat in the pot, and then divided it among the four people. There was no other way, none of them knew how to use chopsticks, and knives and forks were simply a disaster for hot pot, so Yang Jing had to take on the responsibility of a nanny. Whenever the food in the pot was cooked, he would use a colander to scoop it out for the four of them.
"How did you get together?" Yang Jing put some beef into the pot and asked Big Jones.
Big Jones was so hot that he gasped for a long time. He ate and said, "After Michael and I returned to town, we happened to meet Erwin and Oscar who were helping to rescue Old Drew. Oh, by the way, Old Drew is an 83-year-old man who lives alone in town. The heavy snow last night crushed his house and unfortunately Old Drew was trapped underneath. Erwin found him when he was out on patrol early in the morning, so when Michael and I returned to town, Old Drew had just been dug out."
Erwin shrugged and said, "Old Drew was lucky. The collapsed house only crushed one of his legs, and because the weight was not very heavy, his leg was not broken. It's just that he was frozen for a while and his body temperature was a little too low. But the doctor said it's okay and there's no big problem."
Oscar added, "I guess Old Drew imitated Hancock again last night, so the roof collapsed under the pressure."
Several people were stunned, and then they all burst into laughter.
The Hancock Oscar was talking about was the hero in the movie "Hancock" starring Will Smith, a famous black Hollywood movie star, more than a decade ago. He was a guy with superhuman abilities. There was a very pornographic and violent scene in the movie, where a little girl seduced Hancock, and then the two of them were about to make love in the RV. As a result, when Hancock ejaculated, he shot several holes directly through the roof of the RV.
Oscar obviously compared Old Drew to Hancock, which means that Old Drew is over 80 years old, and he can still shoot a few holes in the roof like Hancock, so that the roof will collapse under the pressure of heavy snow...
After laughing, Michael said, "There are still a few houses that have collapsed in the town, but there are people helping. The four of us walked around but couldn't help much, so we drove a tractor to clear all the snow on the streets of the town. After clearing, Roy and I felt that Erwin and Oscar hadn't met you yet, so we brought them here."
Oscar smiled and said, "When I was in college, there was a Chinese student classmate. I learned a few words of Chinese from him. I remember there was a saying that goes like this: 'If you are too lazy to make a move, you must be too lazy to pry it open.' It seems that Erwin and I are like this today, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enjoy such a delicious lunch."
