Chapter 495 484. Five Hundred Exchanges is Invaluable (55)
The second weekend in March came, Wang Bo got up and continued to run in the morning, and Qingyang followed him. Now he has made great progress and can run two kilometers in one breath.
After running and taking a shower, Bo’s father and mother have already prepared breakfast. Wang Bo looked at the table. There are salted duck eggs, hot and sour carrots, spicy meat sauce, and scrambled eggs with shallots. The staple food includes bread, fried eggs, and pancakes. , very rich.
Wang Bo is used to drinking fruit juice for breakfast. After his parents came, he changed to rice porridge, millet porridge or seafood porridge, returning to the embrace of Chinese breakfast.
Little Lolita has a good appetite and is used to eating anything. Sitting on the bench and swinging her short legs, she took a bite of rice porridge and a fried egg, her happy eyes narrowed into slits.
Eva patted her little knee lightly, frowned and said, "Eat honestly, don't move around."
The little loli pointed at the strong man and the queen unhappily and said, "Look at them, they keep wagging their tails."
Eva ate the bread slowly, and said, "That's right, so they can't eat on the table. If you want to eat on the ground with them, then you can move around as you like."
Little Loli blinked and immediately calmed down.
Dad Bo said while eating: "When will you fry some fried dough sticks for Eva and Dai? I think they are very rare when they are at home."
Wang Bodao: "Okay, I'm greedy too. When I came to New Zealand, I didn't eat fried dough sticks or pancakes once."
Dad Bo nodded, and started planning with Mom Bo.
After breakfast, Wang Bo left, he had to go to the garage sale festival.
There are two residential areas in the town, which are symmetrical on the east and west sides with China Road as the axis. The west side is built with building blocks, and the east is built with brick and wood houses.
Now the two communities are almost full of people. Unlike when it was first built, the place is no longer deserted, but has become lively. Every morning, people run or walk their dogs to tease their children.
There is no need for an opening ceremony or a leader's speech. It's just that everyone gathers to trade second-hand goods today.
Wang Bo drove to the Dongfang residential area, then stopped the car on the small road, spread a piece of plastic sheet at the intersection, and let the strong man sit on it, which means that he occupied the place.
The garages of every household are opened, and some daily necessities or furniture are placed at the door, and some people have DIYed shelves and placed goods on them.
Wang Bo strolled and watched with the army commander on his shoulders. Most of the houses displayed were old furniture and electrical appliances, as well as pots and pans, TVs and sofas.
There are toys on the shelves, cars, birds, Transformers, various toy guns, etc., which are quite complicated.
In addition, there are small ornaments, small pendants, small decorations, etc. The female painter Barbara Anderson also set up a shelf on the side of the road, on which are placed oil paintings, decorative paintings, sculptures, as a promotional business .
Hill, a small-town writer, bent over and was busy at the garage door. He set up four or five bookshelves with various books on them. Wang Bo looked and found a set of Encyclopedia Britannica!
A set of encyclopedias has a total of twenty books, each of which is as big and thick as a pillow.
Wang Bo took a copy, flipped through it, and asked, "This book is good, why are you selling it? You can keep it to decorate your study."
Hill said in frustration: "Forget it, mayor, they are useless. Do you know why I bought this set of books? I really want to decorate the study. I dream that one day I can become a great writer who shocks the world, and then Many media came to interview me, they took pictures of my study and these books..."
As he spoke, he shook his head, his face full of helplessness: "But it's just a dream, it won't become a reality."
Wang Bo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't say that, Hill, what you wrote is great, I have read your book, you are now in a time of accumulation, like a volcano, and there is a little energy left before erupting , once it breaks out, it will definitely shock the world!"
Hill laughed and said, "Thank you, mayor, but now these books need to be dealt with, because I need living expenses."
He was a little embarrassed when he said it later.
Wang Bo took out his wallet and gave him a thousand dollars, and said with a smile, "Then I'll buy your set of books, just because I've always wanted to collect a set of encyclopedias. You know, my castle study is too empty."
Hill said: "It doesn't take so much money, the mayor. It only costs a thousand yuan to buy a new set of books."
Wang Bo shook his hand and said, "But this is a book that will be collected by a great fantasy writer in the future. The price must be fair. Come on, Hill, sign it for me. I bet that one day in the future, this set of books will be worth a lot of money."
Hill smiled a little embarrassedly, but his mood improved a lot, and he said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Mayor, I swear to God, I will make this set of books invaluable!"
Wang Bo left with the book in his arms and told him: "We Chinese great writers have a common view, that is, writing cannot be done behind closed doors. You have to come out and talk about your ideas with everyone. If you have good ideas, you can find me. , the literary system of our country may give you some inspiration."
Hill's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I will definitely visit you when you are free."
Wang Bo put the book back on the car, and then saw someone selling garden supplies, including lawn trimmers, edgers, large shears for repairing branches, flower pots, water pipes, sprinklers, etc., a complete set of things.
He remembered his parents tidying up the vegetable garden and said he wanted to build a small garden in the outer courtyard of the castle, so he bought some necessary ones.
It was very cheap, the whole set cost less than NZ$200, and if he wanted to buy a new one, it would cost more than NZ$200 just for the mower.
Moreover, after receiving the money, the stall owner also gave him a set of DIY tools, various power tools, screwdrivers, and hammers, which flattered him, and the townspeople were so enthusiastic.
Hani then drove to the residential area. Wang Bo waved to him and asked, "Mr. Inspector, are you here to investigate tax evasion?"
In theory, New Zealand stipulates that as long as it belongs to trade, it must pay taxes according to the regulations. Garage sales are an exception, though.
Although cash is used for transactions, this kind of transaction behavior is abnormal and not for profit. Therefore, New Zealand's Internal Revenue Service IRD or the city council CITYCOUNCIL have designated this behavior as a tax-free trade model.
Haney curled his lips at him and said, "I'm not an inspector now, young man, don't use my status to run on me, I'm here to buy things."
Someone passed by and said to Hani: "Then don't buy my things, otherwise I will give you a 20% discount if someone else gives you a 20% discount!"
Haney could only continue to curl his lips: "Damn it, Hardy, you didn't pay taxes last month, I'm watching you, you can't escape."
The man turned around, smiled and stretched out his middle finger: "I have already applied for small property tax avoidance, you can't do anything to me, inspector, you will suffer this time."
