Chapter 3070: Romantic
Shiler's newly purchased farm was located in the south of California, about a two-hour drive from the well-known luxury residential area of Palm Beach. There were about 70 vacation farms here, basically belonging to the wealthy of Palm Beach.
The one Shiler owned was transformed from the former Love Farm.
After the Fin Fang Foom incident, this entire area suffered a certain degree of damage, and its safety was also questioned, which led to a sharp drop in the price of the entire farm area.
It wasn't that the wealthy had no confidence in their own security measures. The key was to see who they were provoking. If it were just ordinary armed criminals, even terrorists, they would have the confidence to bring these people to justice before they caused harm.
But dragons were clearly not within their security capabilities.
Wealthy people all over the world didn't want to get into trouble related to superpowers, not only because it might threaten their lives, but also because it meant they had to entrust their family safety to S. H. I. E. L. D., and S. H. I. E. L. D. had always asked for a high price. Nick could scrape a layer of oil off even a stone.
Rather than spending that capital to ask S. H. I. E. L. D. to maintain safety, it was better to just sell the farm. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them.
This was cheap for Shiler. He bought three farms at a very low price and integrated them into one.
Although they were three farms, they couldn't compare to the real big farms in the central United States. The area of vacation farms was originally small, and many farm owners built buildings very large, dug artificial lakes, built golf courses, and even built nature reserves. There wasn't much real farmland.
Adding the three farms together, the area of farmland was about one-tenth of the Kent family farm. However, one of the farms had a private beach, which was a white sand beach with palm trees characteristic of California, and because very few people came, it was more natural than the famous resort Palm Beach.
Shiler retained the best building among the three farms. The original owner called it the Stone House because it was a real stone house. The stones came from the Rocky Mountains, and the materials for the roof came from palm leaves. They were all chiseled and connected with ancient techniques. All the materials used in the house were as much as possible to reduce the processing links and restore the natural style. Shiler liked this architectural style very much.
Although it sounded like a small wooden house, in fact, this was the largest residential building Shiler had ever owned. There were more than 50 rooms in the entire building, basically all of which could be used for guests, and it was equipped with modern electrical lighting and air conditioning systems, but they had all been carefully designed to complement the natural materials and would not be very abrupt.
Shiler built a standard golf course, two tennis courts, and a beach volleyball court within the scope of the three farms, turned about 30 hectares of forest into a nature reserve, and introduced about 20 kinds of harmless animals for use as a campsite in the future.
One of the farms originally had an artificial lake, but the water quality was very poor because it had been abandoned for a long time. Shiler repaired the artificial lake and added a stream leading to the sea, introducing quite a few fish for fishing.
In addition, a helipad and a private plane runway were added to the west of the entrance of the house, as well as an underground warehouse specifically for Stark to park his mechas.
In addition, because Shiler, Steve, and Peter all had the habit of morning jogging, he built a jogging track around the farm on the edge of the three farms and leveled a piece of land by the lake to make a parent-child park.
If there were no accidents, their focus of activities for the next period of time would shift from the East Coast to the West Coast, and Shiler's home would become the place where the Avengers gathered.
In order for them to submit psychological assessment reports in time, Shiler could be said to have racked his brains. He felt like he was putting bait in a basket supported by a bamboo pole. Once the superhero came, he would pull the pole down, trap them, and not allow them to leave until they filled out the psychological questionnaire.
For agriculture, the climatic conditions in California were very good, but Shiler still had no plans for large-scale planting because it would consume too much manpower and material resources. In case he couldn't take care of it in time, the food would be ruined. And it was difficult for the superheroes and himself to guarantee that they would stare at the farm 24 hours a day, so there was no need for that.
Shiler planned to plant some wheat for brewing wine. Of course, the subtropics were also very suitable for planting fruits. I don't know if it was because he changed into a white body, Shiler had a slight allergy to pineapples. As soon as he ate them, his mouth would be cut, so he planned to hire Mexicans to help him plant mangoes and bananas, and plant a little less avocados to make salad.
In addition, of course, he had to plant vegetables. Shiler was really fed up with the ten thousand organic grades that these Americans divided vegetables into. Isn't planting them yourself the most organic?
The farm consultant he hired also suggested that he raise some commercial fish in the lake. Shiler actually liked to eat fish, but raising live things was indeed more troublesome. He hadn't considered whether to do it yet.
After the farm was basically renovated, Shiler directly chartered a plane and flew to California with his butler Ultron, Peter and Gwen, Eddie and Venom, Helen, Pikachu, Rocket Raccoon, and others.
Ultron was busy being an internet celebrity recently. Wherever there was a hot spot, he would go. He had been promoted to the internet consultant for the collective wedding held by Stark, helping him pay real-time attention to hot spots on the internet and observe netizens' feedback on his wedding planning this time.
Rocket Raccoon came back by himself this time. I heard that it seemed like he had a quarrel with others in the Guardians of the Galaxy. According to Pikachu, it seemed to be for an otter. Recently, they had been staying with Helen, so Shiler simply brought them together.
The plane landed directly at the airport of the farm. The tower staff hired by the airport was a young Chinese man. Shiler shook hands with everyone as soon as he got off the plane, and didn't even show any surprise at the yellow-haired rat and Rocket Raccoon.
California was different from the states on the East Coast. The immigration policy was very loose, and there were quite a few Chinese and Mexicans. In fact, there should have been many Japanese, but there were definitely none now.
Shiler hired quite a few Chinese and Mexicans through the website, all of whom were regular immigrants who had already obtained cards, not illegal ones.
It wasn't that Shiler didn't want to hire white people, but the old Mexicans were really too capable. Even those who had already obtained cards were one person worth ten white loafers. They worked neatly, had good service attitudes, and supported a big family behind them without taking drugs or messing around. Shiler felt that he must give this group of real laborers some respect.
And the Mexican young man Gonzalez who sold tacos in Hell's Kitchen long ago also came to California and was selling tacos on the street in San Diego. Shiler had left his phone number before, and after learning about this, he decided that the first thing they did after landing was to eat tacos.
Now the air transportation industry in the United States was very developed. The sky over the whole United States was woven into a big net, and there were flying shuttle and train stations everywhere, which was very convenient to go anywhere.
Little brother Gonzalez directly took the air train to deliver takeout for them. Besides reimbursing him for the round-trip ticket, Shiler gave him a large tip.
The two also agreed that when the members of the Avengers gathered here, let him deliver another trip, especially when Stark came, he must show his face. After finishing this deal, he wouldn't have to worry about money for three years.
Why say that every line has a champion? The tacos sold by this little brother were top-notch from appearance to taste. Each taco was placed in a small paper box. The paper box was white, but the paper wrapping the taco was Mexican-style colored stripes, matched with various colors of chili sauce drizzled on it, looking colorful and very appetizing.
And this kind of taco was improved, removing the viscera that local Mexicans liked to put, and changing it to chicken and beef, which was more suitable for the taste of Americans. The vegetables used were very fresh and crispy. What was even more amazing was the secret corn tortilla. In the few days in Los Angeles, Shiler had also eaten quite a few tacos, and no one could compare to the taste of this corn tortilla.
This time, the little brother pushed his stall over directly. In the backyard of the Stone House, he made them on the spot. Every time he flipped a corn tortilla, Helen, Pikachu, and Rocket Raccoon standing in front of the stall let out a cheer.
This guy's specialty was corn tortilla acrobatics. First, it was thrown up, turned a circle in the air, caught by a shovel, the shovel turned a circle in his hand, turned a circle behind his head, and then the tortilla was thrown back to the iron plate, attracting the audience in front to scream wildly.
Shiler and Eddie sat a little behind at the dining table. The backyard of the Stone House was also white sand beach with many palm trees planted. The shade was dense, and the dining table was placed under the tree. Shiler used gray mist to pry open two coconuts. He and Eddie each had one.
"Peter and Gwen went for a walk again?" Eddie said, sucking on the coconut: "Should I call them back? Don't miss lunch."
"Don't worry about the young couple's affairs." Shiler and the gray mist each had a straw to suck the coconut. One coconut soon bottomed out, and the gray mist was still tirelessly poking the coconut meat there.
Helen took a taco that had just been made, *deng deng deng* ran over, placed it in front of Shiler, and said: "Taste it! Doctor!"
This moved Shiler to tears. After all, when eating with Stark, Helen didn't say let Stark eat first.
As a result, when he took a bite, he felt something was wrong.
"Cough cough cough... what did you put in here?"
"The spiciest chili from Gonzalez's hometown!"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Shiler was choked until his face turned red. Eddie hurriedly brought up two coconuts they had just picked, but no matter how he opened them with the coconut opener, he couldn't open them.
"Ven... Venom!!" Shiler reminded at the top of his lungs.
With a *swish*, the Venom mask went online. He flicked that scarlet tongue and said: "Still have to look at me! Bring it here!"
That huge black claw of his pinched the coconut, as if pinching a glass ball, and with a *crack*, the coconut was squeezed and cracked.
Shiler hurriedly grabbed it and poured it into his mouth, but it still didn't work. Finally, Ultron poured him a glass of milk, and he recovered.
Shiler dragged Helen over and rubbed her head hard. Helen struggled desperately, and then said: "You can eat spicy food, right? Doctor, I thought you would like this..."
"I can eat spicy food to the American degree, not the Mexican degree!" Shiler patted her back and said: "I remember Pikachu also likes spicy food. Go get one and let him try."
"Okay!"
Dozens of seconds later, a yellow rocket soared into the sky, followed by a *crack* of lightning that struck Helen on the head. Rocket Raccoon just wanted to steal a joy, but he was also struck once. The three little guys fought into a ball.
At this time, Peter and Gwen came back. They held several different palm leaves in their hands, seemingly discussing the evolutionary process of these leaves. ===== CHAPTER 3071 =====
