Chapter 193 Daily life

Nana replied:

"Well, I'm going back then. Pay attention to safety while playing on the boat..."

Li Zhuo nodded and then returned to the boat.

This is a small fishing boat with a diesel engine. Once it starts, it starts running on the lake.

The control is very simple. There is a handle to control the direction. The staff stood aside and let Li Zhuo try to drive.

It’s really not difficult, and the boat is small and relatively flexible.

Li Zhuo drove the boat to the middle of the lake and stopped it. Then he hung the bait on the fishing rod and lowered the hook to fish.

But after waiting for a while, it seemed that no fish came to bite the hook.

The staff at the stern spoke in broken English for a long time, to the general idea that the weather is hot now, and the fish in the lake like to hide under the shade of trees in shallow water, or in aquatic plants, and there are not many fish in the middle of the lake.

So, they sailed to the shallow water area again and set a hook to fish...

……

Nana smiled as she watched Li Zhuo get on the boat, and watched him happily wave goodbye to her.

The lake water is rippling due to the rocking of the fishing boats. The island in the center of the lake is very small and close to the lake shore. Looking at the grass planted on it, it feels soft and approachable.

She turned around and took two steps, feeling the grass rustling under her feet. The flat grassland by the lake was neatly trimmed and full of green, making people want to lie on it and stretch out.

There is a breeze blowing by the lake all year round. In a tropical country like Thailand where the weather is always hot, it is really a rare comfort here.

With a smile on her face, she kicked off her shoes and walked barefoot on the lawn.

Her feet were slightly pricked and itchy, so she smiled and walked a few steps, then took her shoes, crossed the lawn, and walked back along the wooden floor that was paved all the way in the back garden.

At the end of the verandah, there is an open-air swimming pool, about 10 meters long and 3 meters wide. It is not too big, but because the water is changed twice a week, it looks very fresh.

Coupled with the distant lake view, it feels like an infinity swimming pool.

The swimming pool was originally placed here instead of in front of the main building, probably for the purpose of matching the lake view.

When she came out of the back garden, she didn't take the main road, which was paved with bricks and stones, so she walked up to rub her feet.

Nana playfully jumped from the steps to the lawn next to the main road, and walked along the lawn to the door of the main building villa.

Seeing her coming, a Filipino maid came out of the villa and took the initiative to say hello to her.

This girl's name is Nancy, she is about 20 years old, she looks lively and gives off a very down-to-earth impression.

Judging from my figure, I have long arms and legs, and is a bit strong. I feel like I am good at housekeeping.

In comparison, although Nana also has long arms and legs, she is much more delicate and taller.

The two exchanged a few words in English. After Nancy knew that Nana was the hostess, she shouted into the villa.

Soon, another Filipino maid also came out. Her name was Lotti. She was also very young, less than 20 years old. She was relatively introverted, but she had no problem speaking and chatting in English.

Nana put her shoes in front of the door and then put on slippers.

When she last visited, she also noticed that some corners of the house had not been wiped clean. Now that she came in, she could see that many places had been tidied up.

She nodded involuntarily.

To be honest, good Filipino maids are really good, down-to-earth, capable, and hard-working. They have almost no presence at ordinary times, but the house is tidy.

Without her saying anything, one of the two Filipino maids continued to clean up the villa, while the other girl took a small bucket and a rag and planned to wipe the balcony, verandah, etc. in the back garden.

Nana went upstairs to tidy up the bedroom and put away her things, then took a nap and then went downstairs.

Nancy came over and asked in English:

"Miss, what are you going to eat for dinner?"

Nana didn't know what Li Zhuo had bought, so she went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take a look.

There are only four or five eggs and two tomatoes in it.

Nana was very angry and funny when she saw it. She didn't know what Li Zhuo ate for lunch. He didn't pay attention to it at all, so he must have made do with it.

She then asked nancy:

"Can you cook?"

"Yeah, I can cook Thai food, Filipino food, and simple Western food." Nancy smiled.

This girl is pretty good, Nana asked with a smile while dialing:

"Is it taught in school?"

"Some are, but not many. Most of them learned from watching TV and were taught by previous employers."

Nancy once worked for another family in Thailand for a year.

When the call was connected, Nana asked:

"Dear, you didn't eat much for lunch? What do you want for dinner?"

Li Zhuo's voice came over:

"Eating hot pot, you just happened to be back, let's go to that hot pot restaurant again."

"Then how should the workers eat?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about them. In this case, you go buy some vegetables and come back, I will transfer the money to you, and you will take care of these housework from now on, I keep forgetting."

It is normal for women to be housekeepers, even in Thailand.

Nana doesn’t think it’s anything:

"Okay, no need to transfer money, I'll buy it now."

Li Zhuo was a little careless before, but then he remembered:

"Oh, also, it's time to find a chef, otherwise there will be no one to cook for us. Now..."

Nana smiled and said:

"...Nancy can cook, let her do it first."

"Well, okay," Li Zhuo then said, "Please remember for me, we need to hire a chef, a Filipino maid, and a part-time plumber, otherwise the swimming pool will be abandoned..."

Nana listened to his ramble for a few words, agreed, and hung up the phone.

She then smiled and said to Nancy:

"You call Lotti and we go shopping."

Just as she was talking, her phone vibrated. When Nana opened it, she found that it was Li Zhuo who had transferred some money to her.

The amount is a bit astonishing, just 5 million baht, equivalent to 1 million yuan.

The gift was a lot, and Nana was very touched, knowing that Li Zhuo trusted her very much.

Nana called back again and whispered:

"You gave me too much. I'm afraid I won't use it well and waste the money."

"It's okay. Trust yourself. Make a rough plan at ordinary times. Just don't cut off the wages of the workers at home and various daily expenses. If you run out of money, just tell me and I will pay..."

The two talked for a few more words, then the Filipino maid walked in, and Nana hung up the phone.

Filipino maids all like the opportunity to go out to buy groceries, mainly because they are busy at home every day and rarely go out.

They brought two vegetable baskets, followed Nana into the Porsche Panamera parked in the garage, and then slowly drove out of the manor gate and drove towards the city.

The two Filipino maids were both young people. It was quite novel to be able to ride in a luxury car, so they couldn't help but ask:

"Miss, this car must be expensive, right?"

"Well, I bought it for 13 million baht," Nana explained. "Mr. Li rarely drives it, maybe he will just buy a vegetable cart in the future..."

After driving into the city, I found a vegetable market and bought some vegetables one after another.

Green vegetables grown in Thailand are relatively cheap, while those imported from abroad are obviously more expensive.

For example, lettuce, broccoli, and carrots are all imported from China, so the prices are high.

Among local dishes, beans cost 4 yuan a pack, cauliflower costs 3 yuan a piece, Chinese cabbage costs 4 yuan a piece, and cabbage costs 4 yuan a piece.

Meat is also cheap. Pork chops cost 15 yuan per pack, pork costs 12 yuan per catty, chicken legs cost 8.5 yuan per catty, and chicken wings are more expensive, costing 14 yuan per catty.

Because there are many people in the family, Nana buys meat, vegetables, etc. from Duoli to ensure that she can eat them for a few days.

Afterwards, they drove to the Lanpo Seafood Market in Pattaya and asked about the prices. They found that the two stores at the door were more expensive, and the closer they went in, the cheaper they got.

Nana continued walking in with her Filipino maid, and bought shrimps, sliced ​​salmon, blue crabs with paste, small green dragons, mussels, etc.

One purchase cost 2,200 yuan.

This amount should be enough for four or five days.
