Chapter 426 416. Dance Together (2/5)
Chapter 426 416. Dance together (25)
The hakkari is the most solemn gathering of Maori, and the welcoming ceremony lasts until sunset.
As the last ray of light disappeared into the sky, louder cheers sounded, and they went straight to the sky!
The red silk on the food shelf was torn off, and sure enough, it was full of fish and fruits, not to mention the dazzling array of fruits and fish, but the meat inside, including beef, sheep, pigs, rabbits and venison, as well as whole calves and goats.
The first thing that came up was Hang Yi, which Wang Bo had eaten, and it was more pure this time. Atulu introduced to him: "Umu behind the meeting hall is the best clay stove. Come on, here are delicious small dishes. Mutton, you must like it!"
It is estimated that at least one ton of Hang Yi food was delivered, mainly meat, as well as fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes.
No matter the vegetables or the meat, they were still steaming when they were served, and the pure aroma of meat permeated all directions, making the party more atmospheric.
When Hangy came up, more than 20 strong men rushed to the central wooden platform. They had tattoos and oil paint on their bodies, and the two men who led the team had pheasant feather battle caps similar to those of Indians. .
Armed with spears or swords, they performed a war dance on the stage.
The Maori War Dance is famous for its majestic momentum and high fighting spirit. Wang Bo went up to take a look. The weapons in these people's hands are all genuine things, and the cold light is shining!
"Boost morale and deter the enemy." Eva came over and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayor, have you been deterred?"
Lao Wang hugged her and kissed her, and said: "They are still far away, I have seen big scenes, if they come with tanks, maybe they will shock me."
There is a lot of time to perform with spears and swords. After all, these are weapons and are not suitable for festive days.
Atulu introduced that the purpose of taking out the weapons was to show respect to Wang Bo, and generally only the Maori queen or the descendants of the prophet Ratana would display the weapons when they came.
The Prophet Ratana is a great leader of the Maori people in modern times. He believes in a healer and campaigner. He established his own church in 1918 and was also a leader of Maori politicians.
The Maori war dance in the back is relatively friendly, without using weapons, the big guys lead the teenagers to roar and perform, mainly slapping the chest and punching, which is very simple and has a sense of rhythm.
After eating Hang Yi, someone brought Wang Bo a plate of pies.
He took a bite, and several sprays of hot juice sprayed out and splashed on his hands and face, making him grin his teeth when it was hot.
Eva snickered next to her and said, "Eat slowly, you won't be able to eat hot pies in a hurry."
The pie was filled with fatty beef and cartilage. It tasted crunchy and delicious, but it was too chewy, and he felt his cheeks go numb after eating one.
Maori's enthusiasm for food and wine is unmatched by other races. Under the food shelves are beer and wine, all of which are stored in wooden barrels. Whoever wants to drink can just pick it up with a glass.
Wang Bo saw several teenagers also running to pick up drinks, and shouted to Atulu: "We are the police, buddy, underage drinking."
Atulu laughed loudly and said, "That's called wine? It's clear water! Come on, use our lethal force! Bring lethal force to the mayor!"
New Zealand has strict alcohol control. For example, the department store in Sunset Town has not yet obtained a license to sell hard alcohol. They can only sell beer and wine, not hard alcohol.
But these restrictions are of no use to the Maori, who make their own spirits in every household. Wang Bo has experienced it, and it can be fatal.
While drinking, someone brought a big iron plate. Many people cheered, and Atulu pushed Wang Bo over.
Lao Wang glanced at it and couldn't help but gasp: "I'll go, what is this? A bug?"
Inside the iron plate was not simple fried bugs, but a complicated-looking dish, but he could see that there were mainly bugs inside, half the size of a finger, some were milky white, some were red, and there were small snails, which looked a bit The taste of dark cuisine.
"Plug worms, westcargots, high-protein earthworms, these are delicacies that cannot be tasted in other places, come and eat them!"
Wang Bo looked at Eva, he knew that his wife would not cheat him: "Is this really edible?"
Eva said: "It can be eaten. This is actually three dishes. The beetle worm is a kind of scavenging insect that lives in wood, and it is the milky white one. The high-protein earthworm is artificially cultivated and can be eaten. .”
Wang Bo dug a spoonful and stuffed it in his mouth. It was blanched with sauce, so the taste was not bad.
But he didn't like it, he took a sip and sipped it for little Lolita politely, and then he withdrew from the competition for this delicious dish.
Little Lolita's mouth was full of oil, with a piece of barbecue in her left hand and a whiskey sausage in her right hand. Her big eyes were bent with a smile, like two crescent moons.
After eating for a while, the Maori began to fight wine.
Atulu and Destroyer pushed Wang Bo to the center, handed him a jug for him to drink in one gulp.
Old Wang didn't drink it. Although he didn't know what kind of wine it was, he could tell by smelling the pungent smell that it must be strong wine.
The glorious hero was also holding a jug, and he shouted: "Drink it, king, and then we will dance together! Don't worry, this wine won't make you miserable!"
"Ho Ho Ho Ho! Drink it! Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!"
The surrounding Maori booed, and Eva laughed and clapped her hands, and followed suit.
Seeing that the hospitality was hard to turn down, Wang Bo raised his head and poured down the bottle of wine.
It is not very painful to drink strong wine into the throat. If it is a deadly force, drinking like this is like pouring a knife into the stomach. This wine is softer.
After drinking at least half a catty of wine in one gulp, Wang Bo took it out and dumped the bottle to show that he had finished it all.
Louder cheers sounded from all directions, and almost everyone applauded.
Atulu, Guanghui Hero and the others also drank their share, and Lao Wang asked: "What kind of wine is this? Xuete, the taste is quite soft, but why is the wine so strong?"
"Well, because it's a cocktail of Lethal Force, Syrah, three wines, and three beers."
Hearing this, Old Wang turned pale, and he shouted: "You cheat me! This horse will kill people!"
Liquor and beer are called land mines, and white wine and red wine are called bombs. What do you call them together? He thinks it's okay to call it a nuclear weapon.
The Shining Hero laughed and said, "It's okay, man, you'll love it in five minutes!"
It didn't take five minutes, and the wine played very vigorously. After one minute, Wang Bo felt his head was a little dazed, after two minutes, his vision was blurred, and after a while, he became excited.
"War dance! Battle dance!" Old Wang shouted, waving his fists, "Let's dance together!"
