來自英國的Andrew,13年前抱著鑽研飼養錦鯉的夢想,來到台灣雲林學習養錦鯉。他從高中十六歲起就開始工作,為了一圓錦鯉夢,辭掉英國Toyota汽車廠品管工作,賣掉房子,來到台灣從零開始。他的故事登上媒體,吸引了 Nikki,兩人透過臉書認識彼此,開始共築家庭。

當嚴謹遇上隨興,英國郎如何調適?

Andrew個性務實,做事一板一眼,講求效率。這位英國男不知悉台灣風土民情,常為了錦鯉的定價事和老婆Nikki意見不合,他和Nikki也有些生活上的小摩擦。漁場經營需要資金,而資金的借貸讓他背負了很深的人情債。

婚前的Nikki是個隨興自在的快樂少女,她從小在雲林土庫被親族長輩們疼愛長大,Nikki很小時就失去母親,帶她長大的姊姊尤其像護身符,經常幫Nikki家解除經濟危機,但這卻成為老公Andrew的壓力源。




Nikki姊姊和姊夫經營的快餐店,就在Nikki家附近,其實這是Nikki他們家的另一個廚房,因為身為英文老師的Nikki,晚上要教課無法自己煮晚餐,但Andrew卻要求老婆每天要為他準備一頓西餐。家裡冰箱,就為這一餐,有了濃濃的異國風,到底是哪一道英式餐點可以稍稍撫慰Andrew思鄉之情呢?


大女兒體貼優秀,天生懂得愛的補位

Olivia是這個家庭的小姊姊,她會幫媽媽照顧兩個雙胞胎弟弟妹妹。弟弟甚至有些生理時鐘,會自動調整配合姐姐的作息。原來,媽媽的辛苦,Olivia都看在眼裡,所以她自動補位當起小媽媽了。但這位小少女,偶爾也會有獨處的念頭喔。

家裡的混血三小娃,他們的爸爸媽媽個性南轅北徹,但小孩們很懂得如何應對大人的要求!


在雲林土庫鎮上的這五口台英混血家庭,展現了好幾段奮力謀求更美好幸福生活的故事。神秘嘉賓即將到訪,英國爸爸當然要端出英國料理來宴客,今天的大菜是英式烤牛肉。猜猜看,他們的晚餐來賓會是誰呢?
