Chapter 146 Twin Peaks Restaurant
After leaving El Paso, the Gobi desert around the highway began to transition to the plains. In the afternoon, we passed Sonora, a small city less than 200 miles away from San Antonio, and it was already surrounded by endless green. Great plains and vast forests.
Cowboys wear high-top, wide-brimmed cowboy hats, and some also wear cloaks to protect them from the wind, sand and sun. They ride horses and drive the cattle around the pasture. From time to time, they send out loud whistles. There are also many shepherd dogs, with their short legs fluttering, galloping and jumping around the cattle, working hard to help their owners work.
Jack soon felt the enthusiasm of the Texas locals. When he stopped to refuel at a gas station in Sonora, a hot waitress stood beside his car with her small waist twisted. Wearing denim shorts, the upper body is only tied with a small knotted shirt that doesn't cover anything.
“Hey, handsome guy, your car looks like it consumes a lot of gas. Do you mind taking me for a spin?”
After paying attention to the pair of peaks that were about to emerge, Jack imitated the cowboys here, lifted the cowboy hat on his head, and apologized: "Not today, my girl is waiting for me in front."
Hannah's plane landed at 5 o'clock, and now there was less than three hours left. How could he dare to waste time.
Unexpectedly, shortly after Jack got back on the road, several heavy-duty Harleys caught up with his Firebird. The waitress just now was sitting in the back seat of one of them, hugging a girl with colorful tattoos all over her body. The 'motorcycle enthusiast' was so arrogant that he gave him the middle finger.
Then these guys started to play snaking provocatively in front of the Firebird, accompanied by strange screams and whistles.
Looking at these desperate 'motorcycle enthusiasts', Jack sighed helplessly. He was really in a hurry.
He stuck his head out of the car window and patted the door to remind these guys: "Hey guys, be careful, the wind will be a bit strong when the wind blows."
As he said this, he observed the road conditions. There are very few vehicles, so you can take a small wave.
Closing all the windows, Jack lightly tapped the brakes amidst the laughter of several 'motorcycle enthusiasts', slowed down to avoid them, changed lanes, then accelerator to increase the speed, stepped on Shifting the clutch and stepping on the accelerator, the car reached a speed of 130 miles per hour in less than three seconds.
This may be the first time this Firebird has been traveling at this speed since its birth. Before those guys could react, they only felt a black shadow flash around them and disappeared in an instant. .
To play with these old American 'motorcycle enthusiasts', Jack slowed down the car to 80 miles per hour. He didn't want to provoke the highway patrol here. Texas is the most independent country in the United States. There are many places in a state where only the Lone Star flag is hoisted but not the Stars and Stripes.
Even if he has an FBI ID in the future, it may not be useful here, and he may even be specifically targeted.
The plan still failed to keep up with the change, and he was stuck on the road close to the city for half an hour during the evening rush hour. When Jack arrived at the airport 10 kilometers north of downtown San Antonio, Hannah was already waiting. .
The girl put on a cowgirl outfit when she returned to Texas. When she saw him, she jumped up with a cheer and held the girl around half a circle before Jack put her down.
“OK, there are plenty of horses for you to ride when you get back here, my cowboy, what are your plans next?”
“Run to Austin for dinner, and go back to my farm in the evening. Uncle and Aunt Thiago are ready to welcome us ”
After experiencing a series of unfortunate encounters that year, Zoe's parents helped Hannah sell the 50-year management rights to the ranch their family owned, retaining only a small farm of 500 acres (about 2 square kilometers). A trust fund was established for the more than 1,000 W Daole obtained.
The Uncle Thiago and Aunt Thiago mentioned by Hannah are an old Mexican couple. After Hannah left Texas to live in LA, they have been helping her look after the small farm.
So in essence, Hannah is a rich little woman and a small landowner. The nearly 3,000 acres of pasture still belongs to her in name. Less than an hour later, Jack’s Firebird stopped in front of a restaurant called Two Winds in Austin.
“Are you sure this is a restaurant and not a strip club?”
This restaurant is just like its name. The waitresses at the door are all wearing bikinis, or they are dressed in the same outfit as the one Jack met at the gas station before, and they have hot bodies. They stare at the trembling double winds flaunting their flowers at the door. Welcome guests.
Maybe there is some activity on Friday, there are banners hanging under the shining neon lights, with sexy photos of several beautiful waitresses on them, it seems to be a beauty pageant.
The parking lot in front of the restaurant is already crowded, with almost half of the space occupied by dozens of heavy-duty Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Jack had no choice but to park the Firebird in the parking lot of a nearby shopping mall.
“This is our Texas equivalent of Hooters, but crazier and more fun.”
Hannah was so excited that she pulled Jack forward to buy tickets to enter the venue.
“Okay, I know the Hooters Restaurant, but why do we have to buy tickets when we come here to eat?”
Hannah pointed to the large banners with beautiful girls printed on them, “Because this place The 'Miss Two Winds' contest is held every year, and the preliminary round just happened to be recently. The winners selected by branches in various regions will go to Arlington to participate in the finals."
"When I was a kid, this store just opened. When we were young, my dad secretly took me here. Then one day, I told my mommy that I wanted to be a 'Miss Shuangfeng', which caused my dad to be chased by mommy with a shotgun, and he ran away to "The Walker family's ranch."
Well, looking at the various 'peaks' starting from E, to F, G and even more exaggerated models, Jack silently nodded for his father-in-law in heaven. Liked it.
'Double Wind Restaurant' is not so much a restaurant, but its style is closer to a sports bar. There are not many types of food, including several kinds of fruit pies, steaks of various flavors, French fries and burgers, and the rest is a dazzling array of cold beers of various brands. .
The restaurant is very large and has several bars. There are many large-screen LCD TVs hanging on the bar and the walls on both sides, playing various sports programs.
It is just after 7pm, and the sun has not completely set, but the restaurant is already bustling with activity, except for a lot of motorcycle enthusiasts wearing denim vests with holes in them and big tattoos on their arms. 'There are also many citizens in ordinary clothes.
There are even many parents with their children, which shows that the folk customs in Texas are indeed not ordinary 'simple'.
After ordering a tomahawk steak, French fries and two bottles of Budweiser, Jack looked around and unexpectedly found that the group of fierce-looking 'motorcycle enthusiasts' were surprisingly comfortable. .
Apart from being a bit loud and noisy, no one was smoking. Many people looked at a thick cigar in their mouth, but there was not even a spark on it, and there was no wanton harassment or touching of the waitress as he imagined. Foot condition occurs.
