Chapter 693 678. An Unpleasant Beginning (45)
Mondo-Johnson's farm is not far from Wang Bo's farm, only five or six kilometers away, which is quite close for the countryside.
There are no pure farms in Kurau. There are farmlands next to the road, but there will be pastures mixed in between. The farmers will raise some livestock by the way to earn some extra money.
As the car was driving, Wang Bo looked out and saw some giant iron tanks erected on the flat ground. These are grain storage tanks, which are essential equipment for every farm.
There are mountains and lakes in Kurau, and there are especially many lakes. Wang Bo can’t remember seeing so many wetlands and swamps in Kurau last time. Some wild ducks and water birds braved the cold wind to stay in these places, which seemed to add a lot of vitality .
The terrain gradually became more and more undulating, and the pickup truck turned from the highway into a country road at a fast speed. They soon arrived at the target farm, a piece of land surrounded by pine and poplar trees.
This farm looks like it has been around for some time. The color of the wooden houses is dark and dull, and there are some places where water gathers inside. From a distance, it looks like a small lake. When you look closely, you can find that the water is very shallow. This can only be called a wetland.
There are more than 20 vehicles of various types randomly parked on the farm, mostly pickup trucks, but there are also off-road vehicles and SUVs, but none of the cars.
Their car drove in, and a few sled dogs ran out howling, and the strong men stared at each other with their heads exposed, and these funny people ran away immediately, only daring to stay in the distance and roar.
The army commander stood on Wang Bo's shoulder and looked out, and said disdainfully: "Ah, there is no cure for idiots!"
"Here we go buddy." Rob smiled and got out of the car.
Wang Bo stood on the land and stepped on the soft ground. He said in surprise: "Is Kurau trying to create the environment of the lungs of New Zealand? Why are there so many swamps and wetlands?"
Hearing what he said, Rob sighed and wanted to speak, Hani said first: "You misunderstood, boss, this is not a swamp and wetland, this winter has a bit of snow, the warm air arrived a few days ago and the ground thawed, some farmland It's been flooded and it's turned into this environment."
Old Wang was embarrassed, he was an amateur.
"Yes, this gentleman is an expert," Rob said sullenly, "This is also one of the topics of our gathering. Damn it, if the water floods the farmland, we will definitely not be able to sow seeds in the spring. We will suffer a great loss."
Not many places were flooded, but Wang Bo understood what Luo Bo meant.
New Zealand relies on mechanized operations to engage in agriculture and animal husbandry, and machinery needs to work all over the country. When the farm becomes like a pockmarked face, you can't grow here and there, and the power of the machine will be greatly reduced.
Hearing the barking of the dog, a few people came out of the house, an old white man walked in the front with great energy, and recruited: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to our new and old friends."
The reason for this name is that the assessment of members of this association is land, and the land of the farm has never changed, so they are old friends, but Wang Bo is new here for the first time.
Luo Bo introduced to him: "This is Mondo Johnson, our big brother, this is Wang, and the old Vance's territory belongs to him."
Wang Bo shook hands with these people one by one. The palms of these people were rough and callused, and they were dressed in old-fashioned clothes. They wore rough needle-hole sweaters or simply a long-sleeved T-shirt, and boots on their feet. Lao Wang and them The appearance is not the same.
This made him a little depressed. The farmer is not a farmer. Even if these guys are not worth hundreds of millions like him, they are worth millions or even tens of millions.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for them to dress like this.
Of course, farmers who dress like this are not frugal or independent, but New Zealand’s farm culture is like this, focusing on comfort and convenience, and there is no need to pursue anything.
But the clothes are different, especially Wang Bo has no calluses on his hands, and his skin has no traces of sun exposure, so it is not easy for him to integrate into the circle of these farmers.
On the way into the house, except for talking when introducing each other, no one spoke after that.
Unlike the warehouse and the mechanical room, the house is a relatively rare stone-wood villa in New Zealand. The area is estimated to be more than 2,000 square meters. Not to mention, the area is definitely large enough.
New Zealanders are very good at enjoying life, regardless of the texture of the house, the choice of location and the surrounding environment, they must strive to do their best.
The front of the house faces a piece of land, next to a small lake, surrounded by a large circle of well-maintained lawns, a few fruit trees are planted on both sides of the door, and a flock of wild ducks just happens to fly here, landing on the lake and swimming upstream. People not far away turned a blind eye.
Wang Bo raised his hand and made a hunting gesture. Mengdo laughed and said, "No, they can't be hunted. They are my friends. They come at the end of winter every year and stay until the end of autumn."
"The Chinese are so greedy that they will eat everything." A big fat man said in a low voice. He thought his voice was quiet, but his size and voice were so big that everyone around him could hear him.
Someone laughed, and Luo Bo glared at him, saying, "Sura, don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Bo was a little angry, what he said just now made people uncomfortable, and why did the Chinese hunt so many wild animals and birds to eat? Isn't it because of the large population and low resources? If the positions were exchanged, he felt that New Zealanders could eat up all the soil in China's cultivated land with their pee nature!
Canglan knows etiquette well enough.
China's per capita resources are simply incomparable with New Zealand's. For example, China's electricity costs 50 cents a kilowatt-hour. What about New Zealand? The price varies from place to place, but in Sunset Town, it is less than 20 cents per degree anyway.
Chinese people use air conditioners in winter, and they turn off immediately when people leave the house. New Zealanders are different. The air conditioners are turned on 24 hours a day, regardless of whether people are there or not, especially in public places.
Fortunately, New Zealand has launched an energy-saving and environmental protection initiative, requiring people to switch off electrical appliances, but they are not doing this to save money and resources, but to protect the environment!
For the sake of friendship, Wang Bo didn't directly hit back at the fat man, but he didn't show weakness either. Instead, he turned his head and gave him a cold look, which meant that I remembered you.
In the end, the big fat man became violent. When he saw him looking back, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "What are you looking at?"
These words made Lao Wang laugh, and the tone is a bit familiar, so let me play with you: "Look at you!"
The fat man walked over angrily with his chest out, and said, "I think you don't want your teeth anymore!"
Robb, Mondo and others hurriedly intervened in the middle of the two, and everyone spoke one after another, explaining to the two:
"Hey, Fat Sura, don't show your bad temper here!"
"Dude, don't be as knowledgeable as this guy."
"Take this foreigner first, don't make trouble here."
Wang Bo's side was really chaotic. The army commander flapped his wings and cursed after discovering the fat man's provocative intentions: "Ah, you are so fat! Ah, you are looking for death! Ah, a strong man! Ah, bite him!"
