Although Los Angeles is highly urbanized, its green area was directly proportional to urbanization in the 1970s.

Therefore, there are some undeveloped Rocky Mountain forests on the edge of the Brentwood community, and some families who prefer tranquility choose to build their houses on the edge of these forests.

You can see some houses dotted on the edge of the jungle everywhere near the winding cement road. Occasionally, you can see someone taking care of their flower garden in the courtyard of a house~

"Hello, do you know where Courtyard No. 1799 is?"

When a middle-aged man who was bending down to work in his courtyard heard Tao Xi's polite greeting, the middle-aged man first raised his head and wiped the sweat on his face with the towel hanging around his neck before replying: "You

Do you have anything to do with Ms. Eugenie?"

"Ms. Yogni?" Tao Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this Jewish surname. When the middle-aged man opposite saw Tao Xi's reaction, he first frowned and reacted, but soon the middle-aged man moved him.

His footsteps retreated towards the door where the shotgun was hung.

Tao Xi also reacted quickly and waved her hand: "Don't be nervous, sir, I saw Ms. Eugenie's house sale news in the newspaper, but the newspaper did not specify her specific location and contact information, so I just knew

Such a piece of information."

The middle-aged man looked at the newspaper waving in Tao Xi's hand and did not rush to take it. Instead, after he saw Tao Xi's nervous look, the middle-aged man no longer cared about Tao Xi's feelings and let him go.

He picked up the shotgun hanging at the door of their house and walked to Tao Xi, took the newspaper and read it.

The news about the size of a piece of tofu was in the cracks of the newspaper, but the middle-aged man read it for a long time.

Tao Xi suspected that this man was obviously a prostitute who took the newspaper from his hand, because when the middle-aged man was reading the newspaper, he did not read the house sales information first, but recorded an information about the resale of cows.

Then he looked away.

"Well, I believe you, don't be nervous, but I see that you are not very old! Are you... rich?" After saying this, the middle-aged man looked Tao from top to bottom.

West.

When Tao Xi heard the middle-aged man's question, he patted his pocket with a smile and replied: "I brought cash."

"Let's go! I'll take you there." The middle-aged man shrugged when he saw Tao Xi's bulging pockets. However, the middle-aged man had no plans to return the newspaper to Tao Xi when he put the shotgun back.

Tao Xi didn't mind either, but he deliberately moved away from the middle-aged man when he was leading him. The long-term living habits in the sewers made Tao Xi have this awareness.

While leading the way, the middle-aged man seemed to feel that the atmosphere between the two people was a little awkward and started to chat: "There are not many people who have money to buy Mrs. Eugenie's house now, but many guys in Chinatown have a lot of cash.

.”

"I don't live in Chinatown, I live in the American-Australian community."

When the middle-aged man heard Tao Xi say that he lived in the American-Australian community, he looked back at him: "Wow, it seems that the American-Australian community has really secured the market in Los Angeles. Don't get me wrong, I just often

I go there to deliver straw to the US-Australia Paper Industry, and I also have a farm in the suburbs."

Tao Xi nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Didn't you find a real estate agent when you planned to buy Mrs. Eugenie's house?" The middle-aged man obviously had some thoughts when he said this. He even looked back at Tao Xi.

After Tao Xi saw the middle-aged man's gaze, he immediately added: "If you can help me close the deal at an appropriate price, I wouldn't mind hiring you to be my real estate agent."

"Wow, I won't pay taxes. I will use my reputation of living in Brentwood for more than ten years to vouch for you."

Tao Xi secretly murmured that the business was really about making money and had considered federal laws to the core. After all, he nodded. After all, he had a neighbor from the local community to vouch for him, so the transaction might go more smoothly.

Finally, after walking with Tao Xi for more than ten minutes, the middle-aged man Mellie White saw Mrs. Eugenie's house on a hillside, but Mrs. Eugenie seemed to have guests at home today.

!

"The newspaper is from yesterday! Oops!" When Merry White saw several unfamiliar faces at the door of the shabby little house, she hurriedly pulled Tao Xi, who was still hanging behind his butt, and walked quickly.

Before they even got close to the house, Mellie White's loud voice shouted over there: "Mrs. Eugenie! I am your neighbor Old White, hahahaha, I want to bring you good news, you are in the newspaper

There is a reply to the published message!”

As soon as Tao Xi entered the courtyard, he saw a very well-dressed little old lady being served by a man in a neat suit and constantly communicating with others~

When Mrs. Eugenie saw that it was Mellie White, she immediately stood up with the support of the man in a straight suit: "Old White, it's been a long time no see. I also said that I wanted to say goodbye to you before selling the house."

But Tao Xi frowned and looked at an old couple standing diagonally opposite him!

Because ~

Matched the contents of the video recorder!

It’s just that what the video recorder is talking about is a house bought by a bunch of Portuguese immigrant couples after the Los Angeles Olympics, but it hasn’t been a week since the Los Angeles Olympics~

As for the British English in the other person's mouth, Tao Xi knew that the other person was not a native American!

The pleasantries between Merry White and Mrs. Eugenie ended quickly, and Tao Xi was very happy that he agreed to Merry White's request on the way, because he felt that Merry White and Mrs. Eugenie were very familiar~

"Aren't you looking for No. 1799? The house number is right here." Merry White pointed to the house number on the big tree at the door and said to Tao Xi. Tao Xi also confirmed it before going straight to Mrs. Eugenie.

said: "Hello, Mrs. Eugenie, is your house for sale? I plan to buy your house."

The Portuguese couple were obviously a little anxious when they heard Taosi's words and hurriedly winked at the man in a straight suit standing next to Mrs. Eugenie.

"Mrs. Eugenie, my clients are still here. How about we come one by one?"

Only then did Tao Xi realize that the man in a straight suit opposite him was a serious real estate agent. Just when Tao Xi wanted to see the situation, Mellie White directly interrupted the real estate agent: "Okay, ok, I

I will ask my nephew to wait for you for a while. You go and do your work first. When they leave, we will talk again. Mrs. Eugenie, I am still making cheese at home. Before you leave the United States, I will let you review us again.

It tastes like farm cheese.”

The real estate agent was obviously stunned when he heard Merry White's words, but Merry White raised his eyebrows proudly towards Tao Xi, as if to tell Tao Xi that the agency fee was not unjust.

It's just that Tao Xi didn't notice Merry White's eyes, but kept looking at the Portuguese couple opposite~

Because although the Portuguese couple were still wearing the clothes of the Los Angeles Olympics tour group and a lot of souvenirs, their shoes were wearing a pair of heavy mountain boots, and there was obviously a lot of mud around the shoes~

Thinking of this, Tao Xi lowered his head and looked at his shoes. Although the location of House No. 1799 in the Brentwood Community is relatively remote, there are still some cement roads in the middle!

"The location here is very remote. Are you sure a young man like you wants to buy it?"

Tao Xi was still in a daze looking at the Portuguese couple. He didn't hear Mrs. Eugenie's words at all. Seeing this, Merri White hurriedly patted Tao Xi's neck to tell him to pay attention~

"Ah, I'm sorry, the scenery here is so beautiful, I was attracted immediately."

"Hello, Mrs. Eugenie, I am an employee of American-Australian Paper, but because my younger brother is about to be admitted to West Lake Harvard Middle School, the environment here is very good and very suitable for him to study, and your location is 10 minutes away from the subway.

It’s very close, only takes 1 hour.”

When Mrs. Egni heard what Tao Xi said, she immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, my son was admitted to our hometown of Cambridge University here! Very good, if your brother can be admitted to Harvard University, this

It can be considered a good talk."

Mrs. Eugenie then turned to Mellie White and said, "It looks like I can eat your cheese?"

Merry White also rubbed his hands with pride and replied: "Although I am usually very picky, we have been neighbors for so many years. Regardless of whether this deal is successful or not, I will treat you to a meal, and

The maintenance of your house has just been done, and the ants have just been removed. I have told my nephew all this."

When Tao Xi heard this sentence, he was filled with questions. In the United States, because many old houses are mostly made of wood, they are very vulnerable to ants and rats.

But they had just done some maintenance, so why would they redecorate it after the Los Angeles Olympics?

Tao Xi couldn't help but take another look at the elderly Portuguese couple opposite. Moreover, their hands were very calloused, and they looked like they were working with fear. They were obviously not the kind of wealthy immigrants!

The Portuguese couple and the real estate agent opposite were obviously anxious. One didn't want to miss the deal, and the other obviously had ulterior motives. However, Tao Xi did not take the initiative to speak. Instead, he held Mellie White's arm and said loudly and deliberately: "Uncle,

Thank you for your help, my mother will definitely come and thank you knowing that you are such a prominent figure in the Brentwood community."

Mrs. Eugenie couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Okay, okay, the little guy is smarter than you uncle and nephew. I am an old guy and I won't be verbose. I plan to ask for 20,000 US dollars. If you can bid, I will

I sold it to you. I still have a house in Long Beach. I don’t have much luggage, so I can make room soon.”

The Portuguese couple looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, but Tao Xi took out a thick wad of money from his pocket and said: "Mrs. Eugenie! This is a deposit of 5,000 US dollars. You need to collect it first."

"Excuse me, because your son has been admitted to Cambridge and I am Asian, I am willing to pay an extra $10,000 for a good sign."

Tao Xi recalled the transaction amount in the tape recorder and immediately shouted the transaction amount to 30,000 US dollars.

Because Tao Xi suspected that the Portuguese couple must not be very wealthy, and the US$30,000 was obviously their psychological minimum price.

However, Mrs. Eugenie immediately became excited when she heard Tao Xi's price. She held Tao Xi's hand and introduced him to the house. She didn't even pay attention to the Portuguese couple. The real estate agent was also at Merri White's.

He left under the watchful eye.

The house is indeed very good, and the cheese is also very good, but Merry White did not get his reward immediately because Taosi has not paid the full amount and has not paid taxes.

So Tao Xi agreed with Merry White and Mrs. Eugenie to reach a deal in three days and leave.

When Tao Xi returned to Neil Brothers' hot dog shop in the American-Australian community and was about to ask Marco to find Hill, a person appeared that surprised him!

"Why are you here?"

Little Dalton saw the dusty look on Tao Xi's face but did not answer him but asked: "Is there another big case in Los Angeles? The background of your 16-year-old detective really surprises me!"

Marco was not used to little Dalton's bad habits, so he ran to Tao Xi and whispered to Tao Xi for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Nelson quickly grabbed the landline phone on the newsstand and didn't know who he was calling. Tao Xi took two steps and looked at Dalton: "What? West's order is gone, you are here to seek revenge.

Yes? Although you know that I am a gangster, you definitely can’t take me away today!"

"That's right! Godson of the Blood Gang, even if you gave me ten courages, I wouldn't dare!"

When Tao Xi heard what little Dalton said, his mind suddenly buzzed, but Tao Xi soon calmed down and stared blankly at little Dalton to see what he wanted to do.

Marco didn't know where he got and ran back again. The bulges in his sleeves were obviously from someone!
