Chapter 1378 1378. Lake Erie (25)

Humans have a gambler in their bones, which is innate. Since ancient times, the richer and more powerful people are, the more they like to gamble, because they have more opportunities to show their nature.

Of course, this gamble is not just about money. Many choices are gambles. For example, in ancient times, ministers chose the prince to stand in line. This is a gamble; today’s companies make various decisions.

Li Du is also a gambler, but the existence of space-time flying insects makes many things lose their sense of mystery. Taking the warehouse auction as an example, he is very sure about choosing the warehouse, and there is no surprise in the final result.

In this way, his usual gambling nature is suppressed, and life and work are less interesting to him.

Therefore, when he saw the casino last night, he wanted to go in and play a few games. Making money was the second priority. He didn't think about using space-time flying insects to cheat the whole time last night. He wanted to rely on luck in some small rounds.

As a result, the casino turned him away, and his sense of expectation fell through again. Today, the supermarket came to his door to abuse him, and even openly discriminated against the Chinese, which just gave him a chance to vent his anger.

And today is also a gamble, and there are some unknowns during the period, such as whether the manager agrees to bet against him, such as whether the ripeness of the watermelon is really similar.

In the end, he won a big victory. The gamble was small, but Li Du enjoyed it.

Of course, he still used some tricks. He didn't touch the first six watermelons, and there was indeed a difference in maturity, but the last two broken watermelons were the result of time energy absorbed by space-time flying insects.

The two watermelons themselves were broken, but the damage was not so complete. It was only a part of the watermelon flesh that was sour and rotten. The space-time flying insects enlarged this part, making the scene even more exaggerated.

Sophie looked at the manager with a wry smile and said, "If you had apologized at the beginning, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as it is now."

Knocking a watermelon and listening to the sound can indeed determine the ripeness of the watermelon. There is a difference in the sound after tapping a raw melon and a ripe melon. Not only Chinese people do this when buying watermelons, but foreigners also do it. For example, in the popular Russian cartoon " Rabbit, wait and see! ", there is an episode about knocking melons.

Therefore, writing warnings in Chinese in the supermarket is provoking the Chinese, and they are also begging for hammers. Li Du taught them a lesson.

He didn't care about the rest, he waved and took Brother Lang and others to leave: "Let's go shopping."

At this time, the crowd of spectators turned into the protagonist instead, and a group of people gathered around the manager of the vegetable and fruit area to question him, asking him what was going on.

The matter was a big mess, the general manager of the supermarket and some people in charge must have to come forward. To paraphrase the popular saying on the Internet: this time, the supermarket has something to do.

Da Ao asked weakly: "Tell me, will the supermarket not sell our things?"

Godzilla clenched his fist and said viciously, "He dares!"

Li Du smiled and said: "I hope he will do this, but he dare not. First, with people like you two following us, who dares to disobey us? Second, if they dare to reject us, I dare to sue them; third , the supermarket is so big, the little things in the vegetable and fruit section are nothing."

When he was about to leave, he turned around and added: "Go and bring some watermelons, the ones I picked out and put on the side, we will go to the lake to eat later."

The resort that Carpentu helped them find is right next to Lake Erie. There is a pier extending into the lake. There are plenty of drinks and food inside, but you can also bring your own. Anyway, there is not much good food in Cleveland, so most people choose it in the end. Eat at the resort.

Lake Erie is one of the five great lakes in North America. It ranks fourth in area and is located in the south. It is shared by the United States and Canada.

The lake extends from northwest to southeast, with a length of 388 kilometers and a width of 95 kilometers at its widest point. It covers an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square kilometers, which is very vast.

July is the golden season for visiting Lake Erie. It is frozen in winter and only seven or eight months a year are navigable. Among them, July and August are the most lively.

In the past, the Great Lakes region was an important industrial area in the United States. There are rich mineral resources such as uranium, gold, silver, copper, limestone and salt around Lake Erie. A large amount of wastewater was once discharged into the lake.

However, since the 1970s and 1980s, the Great Lakes began to pay more attention to water quality and the environment, and local governments have made great efforts to control pollution.

Cleveland used to be very polluted, to what extent? The Cuyahoga River that flows through the city is nicknamed the "Burning River" because there are a lot of chemical oil floating on the river, and it will burn from time to time...

Now after treatment, the lake area has become much cleaner, the water quality is clear, the water color is translucent, there are dense green forests along the coast, there are water birds flying in the lake, white, green and blue meet each other, revealing a feeling of cleanliness everywhere.

The car ran along the Lake District Highway, accelerated after leaving downtown Cleveland, and continued to run northward.

Looking out, Li Du felt that the colors of Lake Erie were not rich, such as green trees and grass, blue sky and blue water, white clouds and white birds.

However, because of the abandonment of pollution, the simple colors are very vivid, especially some fish jump up from time to time on the lake, and the dynamic scene interspersed in the landscape is amazing.

There are dense forests by the lake from time to time, and the resort is in a forest. The trees here are lush and verdant, which really deserves the title of natural oxygen bar.

The car turns into the forest road, and occasionally some lake water will be exposed among the trees. The lake water is blue and endless...

The houses in the resort are also mixed in the forest, many of which are tree houses. There are tall and burly American redwoods in the local area. This kind of tree is simply a giant, towering up to tens of meters high.

There are two types of lakeshores on the edge of the woods, one is stone shore and the other is sandy shore. The beach by the lake has the whiteness and fineness of the beach. The quiet beauty of the difference.

The area where the resort is located happens to be half rocky shore and half sandy shore. Under the leadership of Capendu, they go through the admission procedures. Each person has a hand card. No cash is required for consumption, as long as the hand card is displayed, and the payment will be uniformly deducted in the end.

The location of this place is far away from the city of Cleveland, almost close to the city of Erie, and if it is further north, it is the territory of Canada. They are now in the border area.

The reason why I chose this place is that the temperature here is relatively low, and the second is because of the latitude. The local daytime is very long. Capendu said that the sky is bright at three or four in the morning here, and the sun does not stand until ten o’clock in the evening. It will fall, and it will be a good time when the sky is full of red clouds.

After getting out of the car, Li Du stretched his waist, then waved his hands and said: "Everyone is free, guys, the family is the unit, and you can play whatever you want. We are here to rest."

Luguan asked: "Uh, then I have collected a piece of work information here, do you want to listen to it?"
