The second weekend of March arrived. Wang Bo got up and continued running in the morning. 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 dad and mom had already prepared breakfast. Wang Bo looked at the table. There were salted duck eggs, spicy and sour carrots, spicy meat sauce and scrambled eggs with green onions. The staple food included bread, fried eggs and pancakes. , very rich.
Wang Bo was used to drinking juice for breakfast. After his parents came, he switched to rice porridge, millet porridge or seafood porridge, returning to the embrace of Chinese breakfast.
The little loli has a good appetite and is used to eating anything. She sits on the bench swinging her short legs, taking a sip of rice porridge and eating a bite of fried egg, her eyes narrowed with joy.
Eva patted her little knee lightly, frowned and said: "Be honest when you eat, and don't move around."
The little Loli pointed at the young man and the queen unhappily and said, "Look at them, they keep wagging their tails."
Eva ate the bread slowly and said, "Yes, so they can't eat on the table. If you are willing to eat on the ground with them, you can move around as you like."
The little Loli blinked and immediately calmed down.
While eating, Dad Bo said, "When are you going to fry some fried dough sticks for Eva and Dai'er? I think they are quite rare at home."
Wang Bo said: "Okay, I'm hungry too. I haven't eaten fried dough sticks or pancakes even once since I came to New Zealand."
Dad Bo nodded and started planning with Mom Bo.
After breakfast, Wang Bo left. He had to attend the garage sale festival.
There are two residential areas in the town, symmetrically located on the east and west sides with China Road as the axis. On the west side are block houses, and on the east side are brick and wood houses.
Now both communities are almost full of people. Different from when they were first built, the place is no longer deserted, but has become lively. Every morning there are people jogging or walking their dogs to entertain their children.
There is no need for an opening ceremony or a speech from the leader. Today we just gather together to trade secondhand goods.
Wang Bo drove to the Dongfang residential area, then stopped the car on a small road, spread a plastic sheet at the intersection, and let the strong man sit on it, which meant that he occupied the area.
The garages of every household are open, with some daily necessities or furniture placed at the door. Some people have DIYed shelves and placed goods on them.
Wang Bo walked around with the army commander on his shoulders and watched. Most of the items displayed in every household were old furniture and electrical appliances, including pots, pans, TVs, sofas and the like.
There are toys on the shelves, including cars, birds, Transformers, various toys and firearms, etc. It's quite complicated.
In addition, there are also small ornaments, small pendants, small decorations and other things. Female painter Barbara Anderson also set up a shelf on the roadside with oil paintings, decorative paintings and sculptures on it as a promotional business. .
Small-town writer Hill was bent over and busy at the door of the garage. He propped up four or five bookshelves with various books on them. Wang Bo took a look and found a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica!
There are twenty volumes in the encyclopedia, each one as big and thick as a pillow.
Wang Bo took a copy, flipped through it, and asked: "This book is good, why do you want to sell it? You can keep it to decorate the study room."
Hill said frustratedly: "Forget it, Mayor, they are of no use. Do you know why I bought this set of books? I really want to decorate the study room. I dream that one day, I can become a great writer who shocks the world, and then Many media came to interview me, and they took pictures of my study and these books... "
As he spoke, he shook his head with helplessness on his face: "But this is just a dream and will not 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 at a stage where you have accumulated a lot of experience, like a volcano, and you are still a little short of energy before it explodes." , once it breaks out, it will definitely shock the world!"
Hill laughed and said, "Thank you, mayor, but these books need to be dealt with now because I need living expenses."
He felt a little embarrassed after talking about it.
Wang Bo took out his wallet and took out a thousand yuan and gave it to him. He smiled and said, "Then I will buy this set of books from you. It just so happens that I have always wanted to collect a set of encyclopedias. You know, my castle study is too empty."
Hill said: "You don't need so much money, mayor. You only need a thousand yuan to buy a new set of books."
Wang Bo shook his hand and said: "But this is a book collected by a great future fantasy writer. The price must be very reasonable. Come on, Hill, sign it for me. I bet that one day, this set of books will be worth a lot of money."
Hill smiled sheepishly, but his mood improved a lot and said: "Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Mayor, I swear to God, I will make this set of books priceless!"
Wang Bo said goodbye 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 creativity with everyone. If you have good ideas, you can come to me." , our country’s literary system 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 in the car and saw someone selling garden supplies, including lawn trimmers, edge trimmers, scissors for trimming branches, flower pots, water pipes, sprinklers, etc., all very complete.
He remembered that his parents had planted a vegetable garden and said they wanted to have a small garden in the outer courtyard of the castle, so he bought what he needed.
It was very cheap. The whole set cost less than NZD 200. If he wanted to buy a new one, it would cost more than NZD 200 for a lawn mower alone.
Moreover, after receiving the money, the stall owner also gave him a set of DIY tools, including various power tools, screwdrivers, and hammers, which flattered him. 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 check for tax evasion?"
In theory, New Zealand stipulates that as long as it belongs to trade, taxes must be paid according to regulations. Garage sales are an exception, though.
Although cash is used for transactions, this transaction is abnormal and not for profit, so New Zealand's Internal Revenue Service or the city council defines this behavior as a tax-free trade model.
Hani curled his lips at him and said: "I am not an inspector now, young man, don't use your status to squander me, I am here to buy things."
Someone passed by and said to Hani: "Then don't buy my things, otherwise others will give you a 20% discount, and I will give you a 18% discount!"
Hani could only continue to pout: "Damn it, Hardy, you didn't pay your taxes last month. I'm watching you. You can't escape."
The man turned around, smiled and extended his middle finger: "I have applied for small industry tax avoidance. You can't do anything to me. Inspector, you will suffer this time."
