Mondo Johnson's farm is not far from Wang Bo's farm, only about five or six kilometers away. This distance is quite close for the countryside.
There are no pure farms in Koolau. There are farmlands next to the roads, but there are pastures mixed in. Farmers will raise some livestock to make some extra money.
While the car was driving, Wang Bo looked out and saw some giant-like iron tanks standing on the flat land. These were grain storage tanks, an essential piece of equipment for every farm.
There are mountains and lakes in Korau, especially lakes. Wang Bo could not remember seeing so many wetlands and swamps last time he came to Korau. 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 undulating, and at a rapid speed, the pickup truck turned from the highway onto a country road. They soon arrived at the target farm, a piece of land surrounded by pine and poplar trees.
This farm looks to be old. The wooden house is dark and dull in color. There is water gathering in some places inside. From a distance, it looks like a small lake. When you look closer, you find that the water is very shallow. It can only be said to be a wetland.
There were more than twenty vehicles of various types parked randomly on the farm, mostly pickup trucks, but there were also off-road vehicles and SUVs, and no cars at all.
Their car drove in, and several sled dogs ran out howling. The strong men showed their heads and stared. These funny dogs ran away immediately, and they only dared to stay in the distance and roar.
The military commander stood on Wang Bo's shoulder and looked out, saying disdainfully: "Ah, there is no cure for the idiot!"
"We're here, buddy." Robbo smiled and got out of the car.
Wang Bo stood on the land and stepped on the soft ground. He said in surprise: "Is Koolau trying to create an environment that is the lungs of New Zealand? Why are there so many swamps and wetlands?"
After listening to his words, Robbo sighed and was about to speak, but Hani was the first to say: "You misunderstood, boss, this is not a swamp or wetland. The amount of snow this winter has been a bit heavy. The arrival of warm air in the past few days has thawed the ground, and some farmland has It was flooded and turned into this environment.”
Lao Wang is embarrassed, he is an amateur.
"Yes, this gentleman is an expert," Luo Bo said sullenly: "This is also a topic of our gathering. Damn it, the water has flooded the farmland, and we will definitely not be able to sow seeds in the spring. We will suffer huge losses."
There were not many places 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 pockmarked and cannot be planted here, the power of the machine will be greatly reduced.
Hearing the dog barking, several people came out of the house. An old white man walked energetically at the front and said: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to our new and old friends."
The reason why they are called so is because the association's evaluation of members is land. The land on the farm has never changed, so they are old friends, but Wang Bo is here for the first time and is considered a newcomer.
Robbo introduced him: "This is Mondo Johnson, our big brother. This is the king. Old Vince's territory belongs to him."
Wang Bo shook hands with these people one by one. The palms of these people were rough and full of calluses. Their clothes were also rather old-fashioned. They wore rough sweaters or long-sleeved T-shirts and boots. Lao Wang and them The appearance is different.
This made him a little depressed. Farmers are not farmers. 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, the fact that farmers dress like this is not because they are frugal or independent, but because New Zealand's farm culture is like this. It focuses on comfort and convenience, and there is no need to pursue anything.
But the dress and dress are different, especially since Wang Bo has no calluses on his hands and no traces of sun exposure on his skin, it will not be easy for him to integrate into the circle of these farmers.
On the way into the house, no one spoke again except for the introductions.
Unlike the warehouse and mechanical room, the house is a stone and wood combination villa that is relatively rare in New Zealand. The area is estimated to be more than 2,000 square meters. If nothing else, the area is definitely large enough.
New Zealanders enjoy life very much. Regardless of the quality of the house, the choice of location and the surrounding environment, they must strive to make it the best it can be.
The front of the house faces a piece of land, next to a small lake, surrounded by a large well-maintained lawn. There are several fruit trees planted on both sides of the door. A group of wild ducks will fly over just now, land on the lake and swim around. People not far away turned a blind eye.
Wang Bo raised his hand and made a hunting gesture. Mendo laughed and said: "No, they cannot be hunted. They are my friends. They will come at the end of winter every year and stay until the end of autumn."
"The Chinese are too greedy. They will beat and eat everything." A fat man said angrily. He thought his voice was small, but because of his size and voice, everyone around him heard it.
Someone laughed, and Luo Bo glared at him and said, "Sura, don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Bo was a little angry. What he just said made people feel uncomfortable. Besides, why do the Chinese hunt so many wild animals and wild birds for food? Isn’t it because the population is large and the resources are small? If the statuses were reversed, he felt that New Zealanders could eat all the soil in China's cultivated fields because of their urine quality!
The warehouse is enough to know the etiquette.
China's per capita resources are incomparable to New Zealand's. For example, China's electricity costs 50 cents per unit, but what about New Zealand? Prices vary from place to place, but in Sunset Town, it's less than twenty cents a degree.
When Chinese people use air conditioners in winter, they turn them off as soon as they leave the house. Unlike New Zealanders, the air conditioners are open 24 hours a day, regardless of whether people are present or not, especially in public places.
Fortunately, recently, New Zealand has launched an initiative on energy conservation and environmental protection, requiring people to turn 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 did not directly fight back at the fat man, but he did not show weakness either. Instead, he turned back and glared at him coldly, meaning I remember you.
As a result, the fat man had a bad temper. When he saw him looking back, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "What are you looking at?"
These words made Lao Wang laugh. His tone was a bit familiar, so let me play with you: "Let's see how you do!"
The fat man came angrily with his chest puffed out and said, "I think you don't want your teeth anymore!"
Robbo, Mondo and others hurriedly stepped in between the two of them, and everyone spoke to explain to them:
"Hey, Fat Sula, don't show your bad temper here!"
"Forget it, man, don't be as familiar with this guy."
"Take this foreigner into the house first and don't make any more trouble here."
Wang Bo's side was indeed in chaos. After discovering the provocative intention of the fat man, the commander flapped his wings and cursed: "Ah, damn fat! Ah, you are seeking death! Ah, strong man! Ah, bite him!" (.)
