He sat in the first row. In addition, the Glorious Hero, the rich man Bakajia and others also sat in the first row, while the Destroyer, Charlie, Bowen, etc. sat in the second row. The four or five rows in front were all strong and strong people. man.
Seeing Wang Bo keep looking back for Eva, Atulu smiled and said: "Boss, stop looking. She can't sit here. Do you know why?"
Lao Wang felt that the possible reason for this was gender discrimination, but since his Maori subordinate asked him in such a tone, it meant that it was not that simple.
However, apart from sexism, why else would men be allowed to sit in the front row and women in the back
Seeing him shaking his head, Bakajia reminded him first: "The distinguished guests and elders sit in the first row. Look at the men behind them. What's the pattern of their seats?"
Lao Wang turned his head and looked around, and he quickly discovered a pattern. The man who moved forward became stronger and burlier.
In this way, he thought of a reason and guessed: "Is it the worship of power?"
Bakajia laughed and shook his head and said the answer: "No, Mr. Mayor, the reason for this arrangement is that in the past, our Hakari had multiple tribes participating, and there might be fights during the period. The men sat in front , can protect the women and children sitting in the back!”
Damn it, this answer made Wang Bo swear in his heart. He never thought of this reason!
When everyone was seated, the welcoming ceremony in front of Hakari began.
This is somewhat similar to a domestic ceremony. First, the leader speaks, and this time the speaker is Atulu. He is the grandson of Otutu, the patriarch and the policeman of the town. With his multiple identities, he is also very prestigious in the tribe. of.
Of course, Wang Bo guessed that if he were not so strict with his wife, his prestige would be even greater.
The speech was conducted in Maori. Atulu expressed his respect for Wang Bo and first said a sentence in Chinese - he is also trying to learn Chinese: "Tondalaiben, new love len, I am very excited to exchange boos with you Jintian." A soup…”
"What is this guy talking about?" The glorious hero was dumbfounded, "Damn it, why can't I understand a word?"
Someone next to me reminded: "It's Chinese, Chinese."
The glorious hero grinned. He glanced at Wang Bo next to him and did not continue to speak.
But Lao Wang is also confused here. Is this Chinese? I am an upright Chinese and a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Why didn’t I understand what Chinese he was talking about? !
Aturu had no language talent, and he struggled to speak. He started with vague Chinese, then switched to Maori, where he began to speak with great excitement.
Lao Wang couldn't understand it even more. Although Atulu spoke poor Chinese, he could guess the meaning based on the pronunciation. After switching to Maori, he couldn't even guess.
Of course, this does not prevent him from blending in. Anyway, he applauds when everyone applauds, he roars when everyone opens his mouth, and he laughs when everyone laughs...
I'm so smart, Lao Wang couldn't help but feel complacent.
Hakari's formal dinner started the moment the sun went down, and the weather at the end of December was equivalent to the end of June in the Northern Hemisphere, so it wouldn't get dark even at 7:30.
So why did they call him here so early? Lao Wang had been wondering before. He thought there was some kind of traditional war dance performance, but his imagination was too beautiful.
Speak! Speak! Just speak!
There is a sad past hidden deep in Lao Wang's memory. It was an opening ceremony when he was in college. Under the scorching sun in September, the students stood in the playground and listened to the principal and counselor representatives talking for two hours. .
He thought this was the longest speech time he had ever experienced in his life, but he thought the world was too beautiful. Atulu's speech lasted three hours this time!
The sunshine in New Zealand is very radiant. After sitting for three hours in the afternoon, Lao Wang felt that he would never participate in a Maori hakari again in his life.
No wonder I asked Atulu for the speech. If the old lady Otutu came up, she would probably be tired enough to go see the master after speaking this time!
With Atulu's fat and strong physique, the three-hour speech was very difficult. He drank six bottles of water during the whole meeting.
When it finally ended, the sky was filled with red clouds, and the light of the setting sun fell on him, shining brightly.
This is the result of sunburn...
What impressed Lao Wang the most was that during the whole speech, the audience below kept pumping their fists and cheering, and their voices did not become hoarse even after cheering for three hours. This also made him admire him very much.
After the speech, Wang Bo jokingly said to Bakaja next to him: "Your people have really good voices. They should sing. The tenors in the world must belong to Maori."
Because he and the strong man rescued Bakajia's family, the Maori millionaire had a good attitude towards him and translated for him many times. Now after listening to his ridicule, he smiled and said: "This is tradition, Mr. Mayor, this It’s tradition.”
"Tradition?"
"Yes, the battles between our Maori tribes basically rely on shouting. Whichever side's warriors have the loudest voice and which side shouts loudest will basically win. Hakari's speech represents the spirit of a tribe, and the tribe's People will cheer with fighting spirit to show their fighting power.”
The corner of Lao Wang's mouth twitched, feeling that he was participating in a grand military parade just now!
After the speech, Otutu, Atulu and all the leading figures of their tribe stood in a row.
A Maori girl smiled and took Lao Wang to another row, where there were all guests, including Bowen, Eva and Little Loli.
"Coax her!" the Maori girl said with a sweet smile.
Wang Bo blinked. This was about to start the nose-touching salute. What the girl called coaxing was the nose-touching salute.
The guests in the row of guests walked forward and bumped noses with the people in the host row one by one. Those in the front bumped once, and when they got to Atulu's place in the back, they bumped noses twice.
When it was all over, he was about to rub his sore nose when a group of people rushed towards him, all of them shirtless men. They grinned at him, raised their noses and raised their eyes: "Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! Hoho!”
This is a welcome ceremony evolved from war dance, and the official welcome to Lao Wang begins.
A large group of people circled and shouted at him. Wang Bo clenched his right fist and slapped his chest. Atulu shouted from behind: "The louder the slap, the better!"
Someone pushed Eva and little Loli in. Little Loli blinked, clenched her fists, and slapped Eva's big breasts hard, giggling: "Teacher, teacher, come and take a picture of my sister, it's very big." Fun…”
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Wang Bo would really like to give the little Loli a passionate kiss. This is a kiss for his apprentice, definitely a kiss. This is a great proposal!
Eva smiled and gave Lao Wang the troublesome little lolita, and encouraged: "Plap your teacher on the chest as hard as you can. The louder the sound, the happier everyone will be."
Lao Wang didn't care. The little girl's strength was as strong as hitting his chest.
