After sending away the tax bureau inspection team who wanted to steal the fruit, the weather was still hot in the following days. Wang Bo had nothing to do. He found study materials and learned to familiarize himself with the town's official affairs.
Because the town has not yet been opened, there are not many residents, and the departments are not complete, so there are not many things to do. He has to seize the time to study, so that he can use the law to fight if the council plays any tricks in the future.
It's a pity that Carlisle Haney hasn't arrived yet, otherwise he could have it easier with this grumpy tough guy guarding the town.
The auditor he finally recruited has not yet come to work. According to New Zealand's labor contract law, employees have a maximum handover period of one month after resigning. This rule also applies to civil servants.
Wang Bo and Hani talked on the phone. The latter worked very seriously. In fact, it only took a week to complete the handover. However, the mayor of Tahiti Town did not want to let him go and had been delaying his resignation report. He could only come to Sunset Town after one month.
Fortunately, it's almost a month away.
Charlie told Wang Bo that two more families came to the town. Unlike the painter and his wife, they took a fancy to the economic potential of Highway 8 and came to occupy the highway business area in advance.
Wang Bo decided to visit the two new townspeople. He didn't have any gifts to offer, so he planned to carry out dumpling diplomacy, and this time he also used high-quality fish and meat dumplings.
Dumplings are a special Chinese delicacy. New Zealand natives do not eat dumplings. In other words, they do not eat them, but they cannot make dumplings and can only eat braised naan pizza.
Although pizza sells for a lot of money in China and is popular everywhere, Wang Bo insists that it is not as delicious as dumplings, pies and other authentic Chinese delicacies.
Wang Bo prepared fish dumplings. As the name suggests, these dumplings are made of fish. They are very common in their hometown, but rare in inland cities.
Fish dumplings are expensive and the process is complicated. The most popular dumplings in his hometown are mackerel dumplings. The mackerel must be steamed, and the fish meat is removed with a knife and mixed with leeks and green onions.
Normally, Lao Wang would not go to such trouble to make dumplings. The main reason is that when he left home, he took some fish prepared by his mother, which would be frozen in the refrigerator and would become stale if he didn't go back.
After the experience of eating mutton dumplings last time, the Mexican handsome boy learned how to make dumplings. This time he and Wang Bo quickly prepared more than two hundred dumplings.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, Juan, you are so ingenious." Wang Bo admired as he looked at the neatly arranged dumplings.
The handsome Mexican boy smiled and said modestly: "Obviously, you taught me well."
Hani's son Carlisson passed by and curled his lips and said: "What kind of monster is this? Mexican food? Chinese rice? Ha, it's really ugly..."
Wang Bo frowned and stood up. He said sternly: "Has no one ever taught you to respect others?"
The strong man jumped up immediately, opened his mouth to reveal his pale teeth, and stared at Carlisson with a dark and indifferent gaze.
The hooligan was a bit tough. He scratched his neck and said, "I'm not racist. I'm speaking from my heart. Look, this food is just ugly."
"Shut up, you bastard!" The cowboy came up to make peace. He is now a popular star and is the idol of the hooligans.
Put the dumplings into the pot, tumble them in boiling water a few times and then scoop them out. Fish dumplings are easier to cook than beef and mutton dumplings because the fish itself is steamed.
There were more than 200 dumplings, and Wang Bo wanted to take fifty or sixty to visit the new townspeople. As a result, the group of six people and one dog fell into a commotion. All the dumplings were eaten, and there were not enough...
Carlisson had just despised the dumplings for not being good-looking, and ate more than anyone else. After eating, he patted his bulging belly and exclaimed: "God, this is such great food. It turns out that fish can be eaten like this, it's great!" "
"Are you still going to see the new townspeople?" Charlie asked, burping.
Wang Bo originally wanted to delay, but when he opened the sand table, he found a conflict in front of a small building next to the highway. Two commercial vehicles were parked on the roadside, and someone was fighting with the painter and his wife.
Seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat and he nodded: "Kobe will stay and clean up while the others and I go visit the new townspeople."
The cowboy asked in shock: "Five people?"
Wang Bo nodded and said: "Yes, we need to let the new townspeople know our scale, so that they can have confidence in the town. Oh, the strong men will also go, I found that the children all like dogs."
"Woof woof woof woof." The strong man said he was very happy that he could play a role.
Having a road is all about convenience. Although the third-level road has not yet been completed, the basic foundation is complete. In other words, the entire road has become flat land, and only asphalt needs to be poured on it.
Cruiser quickly rushed to the group of small buildings next to the highway at a speed of 80 miles. In the past month, the building block house company continued to operate and built more than ten small buildings, which has already formed a large scale.
The commercial vehicle did not leave, but a dozen big men formed an arc and semi-surrounded the small building where the painter lived. The female painter Barbara stood at the door holding a sharp watermelon knife, shouting excitedly with these people.
"What's going on?" Wang Bo asked pretending to be surprised.
Charlie said in a deep voice: "These people are from the gambling company. It seems that Barbara's family is in trouble."
Wang Bo didn't know how Charlie determined the identities of these people, but this was not the time for discussion. He hung a police badge on his chest, got out of the car and shouted in a deep voice: "Hey, Barbara, what are you doing?"
A big man glanced at them with violent eyes. When he saw the police badge on Wang Bo's chest, his eyes narrowed a little and said, "Are you the police chief here? Look, someone has a weapon in his hand, you have to take care of it."
Lao Wang said to Barbara: "Madam, put your kitchen knife away and take a look. What are you talking about?"
His words were a bit soft. The nearby workers and two families who were watching shook their heads in dissatisfaction, and little Hani was even more sarcastic.
Barbara shouted for a while, her voice was hoarse, and she shouted: "No, Mayor, I can't put down my arms, I..."
"This is a crappy weapon!" Wang Bo sneered, "Don't you have a decent weapon at home? Like a shotgun or a rifle? If you don't have either, then I have a pistol here, use mine."
After hearing this, the big man's face changed, and he said angrily: "Man, do you know what you are talking about?"
Wang Bo pushed forward forcefully, pushed his chest with his hand and said: "Listen, big guy, this is my territory, don't step on my territory to cause trouble, okay?"
The cowboy whistled: "Well done, King!"
Seeing him take action, other big men immediately gathered around. Wang Bo motioned them not to move yet, turned to Barbara and asked: "What is going on? Can you explain it to me?"
Without Barbara needing to speak, the big man yelled first: "This son of a bitch owes us a loan shark and wants to run away..."
