Chapter 1018: Preparing for the Poseidon Festival

These people in the town government are not raised for free. After all, the United States is basically an employment system. There is no such thing as an iron rice bowl, even for people in the government.

Therefore, for government personnel, being complained about is a big deal. It is very likely that they will actually lose their jobs, rather than just changing their workplace. Because of this, offices in the United States They are still more efficient than those in China. Of course, because they don't make much money, their attitude is just so-called peaceful, and there is no standard smile service or anything like that. However, The efficiency of doing things is quite fast.

After hearing what Jiang Hai said, a person very close to him quickly put the revised charter into Jiang Hai's hands.

Jiang Hai took a look and found that there were basically no problems. The parades, fairs, ceremonies, etc. were almost the same as in previous years. The blue dragon was presented. The blue dragon had been prepared five days ago. The glass jar was better than this year. It was more beautiful in previous years, the length of the parade was longer, and the market was expanded. In addition to the trading place, there were also places to eat and play. Maybe to take care of tourists, it was specially built on the original market beach. A new beach has opened next to it, where you can rent tents and deck chairs, plus you can go swimming in the sea, as well as motorboats and surfing on the beach.

Seeing this, Jiang Hai crossed out swimming and surfing in the sea, and handed the information to the person in front of him again.

"Don't you need to go into the sea?" The people here asked with some confusion when they saw what Jiang Hai had crossed out.

"Going to the sea? Going to the sea in this weather? Haha, unless we are crazy, the motorboat must also take measures to prevent the cold, and there is no problem with anything else." She rolled her eyes at him, crazy, it is only the beginning of April, and going to the sea in the beginning of April, this How addictive does it have to be?

After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the people here were stunned for a moment, and then smiled sheepishly. They were only thinking about their own advantages, but they did not consider that if they went into the sea in the current sea water, It's hard to say whether these tourists can afford to stay there. Although the sea does not freeze and the sea level temperature is always above zero, it is basically around seven or eight degrees above zero. Most people really can't stand going into the sea, unless they have done winter swimming before.

"Don't you need to make something with Chinese characteristics? You must know that tourists from China will also come to participate." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Sandy Clive here couldn't help but think about it and asked him .

"It's not necessary. If they really want to see Taoists and monks, they don't need to come to the United States to see it. What they want to see is a celebration with American characteristics, so everything should be done according to our standards and be grander. It’s also best to arrange police officers during the parade. I donate so much money to them every year, but I don’t let them stay in the police station. They can come out to maintain law and order, and there are also stalls selling snacks. Easy to register, you know more about this than me." After hearing Sandy Clive's words, Jiang Hai shook his head and said, just kidding, are Chinese tourists coming to the United States to see the dancing master? There are plenty of those kinds of things in China. Do they need to come to the United States to see them? What they want to see is something with American style, not something that can be seen everywhere in China. Of course, there will be some people with a lot of national pride, and they will be happy to see some sophisticated people come to fool these Americans, but if it happens Returning to China, apart from becoming a laughing stock, there seems to be no other benefit.

And the most important thing is that it is easy to make the old bluffer angry. If he returns to China to cheat a lot of money, who will bear the responsibility?

So Jiang Hai just passed this statement. For tourists, eating well, drinking well, and having fun are enough. Chinese characteristics are not needed here in Winthrop.

Hearing what Jiang Hai said, the staff also nodded. Indeed, adding some Chinese elements to the Poseidon Festival also made them a little overwhelmed. Now Jiang Hai said that he didn't care about nationality and just treated them as ordinary people. It is much simpler for tourists. From here, we can also see the influence of Jiang Hai in Winthrop.

After he finished speaking, it was basically like he had made a decision. The ten staff over there had already taken their tablets and started dividing the work. These people were responsible for finding someone to clean up the beach, and these people were responsible for cleaning up the beach. The people who hold the stalls apply for licenses. In the United States, you have to pay taxes on everything you do. Naturally, you also have to pay taxes when setting up a roadside stall.

So in the United States, even though there are many roadside stalls, 80% of them are licensed, just like ordinary restaurants. Of course, the tax may be less, but they are all taxed, and the police are coming. They are also people who cannot be driven away. It is rare to see a scene like that in China in the United States. Once the urban management officers take to the streets, it is like a great escape. Of course, the remaining 20% ​​will also flee.

There were also some people who contacted the police station to set routes and so on. Only Sandy Clive sat there and was responsible for managing the overall situation.

"Ahem, it's almost time. I'll treat everyone to dinner. After eating, we can work again in the afternoon." Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Hai looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock when he left. It took him half an hour to get here. , walked straight to the people studying the program for half an hour, and he sat here for another half hour. Unknowingly, it was already 11:30 noon, so Jiang Hai coughed and said to the people in front of him, when he heard Jiang Hai's words made these people stop what they were doing.

"Wow, it's already half past eleven. Let's go have dinner. But Mr. Jiang, we can't let you invite us. Haha, our restaurant is actually very good. You can come and try it." He stopped talking. At work, a person sitting next to Jiang Hai glanced at his watch and then laughed and said to Jiang Hai.

In the United States, these so-called "civil servants" are rarely treated to dinner by others. Basically 90% of them are AA, because the anti-corruption in the United States is very serious. Treating these civil servants to dinner is not a serious matter. Little things.

"Just eat in our restaurant. Our restaurant here is quite good." After hearing that Jiang Hai was rejected, Sandy Clive was afraid that Jiang Hai would lose face, so after thinking about it, He also said to Jiang Hai.

"Okay!" But it was obvious that they were overthinking it. Jiang Hai just felt a little bored sitting here, so it didn't matter if he went to eat.

After deciding where to eat, Jiang Hai and the others went to the canteen of the town government.

Well, it always feels a bit low to call it a canteen. Although the meaning is the same, it is called a restaurant here in the United States.

Americans pay great attention to the taste of restaurants, so whether they are in universities, high schools, or even some government agencies, their restaurants are quite good, at least not like the canteens in some high-rise buildings in China...

Take Jiang Hai, for example. When he was in college, he charged two hundred yuan into his card during his freshman year. When he graduated as a senior, he had thirty yuan left, which he gave directly to a junior student to eat in the cafeteria. , it’s really hard for people to understand.

Although eating a fly is not considered to be adding meat and vegetables, it is at least to the point where the aunt shakes her hands and asks for nothing.

High schools, universities or government restaurants here in the United States basically maintain the nature of buffets. They are free of charge and the food is very good. For example, the town government restaurant in Winthrop Similarly, Jiang Hai couldn't help but nodded when he passed by. At this time, in his sight, he actually saw a lot of food, meat pies, sausages, stews, elbows, vegetable salads, fruits, drinks, coffee, etc. Wait, wait, the staple food also includes bread, pasta, oatmeal, and more than a dozen kinds of things. The selection is quite good, the environment is also good, and there are several TVs playing some sports events or TV series.

"You can ask for whatever you want to eat!" Seeing Jiang Hai surveying the restaurant, Sandy Clive smiled, then poked Jiang Hai with the tip of his elbow, and then brought Jiang Hai to the side. A place to get food.

Bread, salad, etc. are all self-service. You can take them by yourself. Meat and vegetables are prepared by the chef. However, you can order them yourself. For example, if you just want to eat meatloaf, you just want to eat meatloaf. You can take ten, but the prerequisite is that you have to eat it. If it is wasted, it will be deducted from your salary.

Although Jiang Hai is not from the town government, there are very few people in Winthrop who don't know him. Naturally, these people will not turn a blind eye and let Jiang Hai follow him. The United States People are not that particular.

Jiang Hai looked at the food, took four pieces of bread, and then ordered four pieces of meat patties. These meat patties were made from minced beef. The taste was okay, but the texture was far worse, like This kind of beef sells for a dollar a pound in the United States. Of course, it may be cheaper to buy it in canteens, otherwise it would not be possible for these people to eat it casually, right?

In addition to meatloaf and bread, Jiang Hai also took some vegetables from the sofa and came to sit at the dining table. There were ketchup, salad dressing, black pepper sauce and the like, and he took the plastic ones provided in the restaurant. With a table knife, Jiang Hai made two burgers from the ingredients in front of him, and then ate them happily. Seeing how Jiang Hai ate, Sandy Clive, who only wanted some elbow meat and vegetable salad, couldn't help but smile. Come on, if she didn't know Jiang Hai and someone told her that the person in front of her was a billionaire, she probably wouldn't believe it herself. This Jiang Hai was really... confusing!

"What's wrong?" After quickly destroying a burger, Jiang Hai licked the ketchup on his hand and looked at Sandy Clive in front of him and asked with some doubts.

"Nothing..." Looking at his silly look, Sandy Clive sighed. If time could go back to when she first met him, maybe she wouldn't take him to visit Boston. , if there hadn't been that episode, maybe...their ending would have been different, but the problem now is that time will not go back, and things can only be like this!
