The name of the town is Pioneers, and it is said that it was founded by some people from the Americas who fled the war and came to the United States, so the people here have a complex origin, including Mexicans, Cubans and even people from some small countries in South America.

Of course, in the past few decades, almost all the people of that generation have passed away, and all the children left behind have joined the nationality of the US imperialists.

This doesn't mean that everything will dissipate over time, such as the unique English pronunciation of the locals, or the houses in the town with very different architectural styles.

Drew still drives his old Raptor F150, with Nie Wei, Shu Chang and a little girl, the little girl is the child of Drew's younger brother, who is only eight years old this year and is still in elementary school.

As for Cheng Zimo, he didn't follow, but stayed on the farm and followed Uncle Drew's two sons to strengthen the wooden fence on the farm.

The town is not far from Nie Wei's ranch, and it is about forty minutes away by car, Shu Chang leaned on Nie Wei, was confused for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already almost in the town.

It is said to be a small town because this town is really small, listening to Drew's introduction, there are only a few hundred households in the town, about more than 1,300 people, counting the residents of the surrounding farms, the number of people in the entire town is less than 2,000.

This is still a statistic population, and the permanent population is even smaller.

Because there is only one primary school in the town, children who reach junior high school have to go to school in a nearby larger city, and many young men and women in the town choose to go out, after all, if they stay in the town, the development space is too limited.

So after the car drove into the town, many of the people Nie Wei saw were some old people, and some were some very young children.

Drew first sent his little niece to elementary school, and while Drew went to drop off the child, Nie Wei and Shu Chang also got out of the car to breathe.

"This elementary school looks a little strange, isn't it?" Shu Chang couldn't help but say, looking in from the gate and looking at the strangely shaped building.

"It was supposed to be a church remodel. Nie Wei glanced at it, and then replied.

Hearing Nie Wei say this, Shu Chang took a closer look, and finally found the strange reason, and the truth was that as Nie Wei said, this elementary school really looks like a church, but there is no cross with that sign.

When Drew returned from sending the child off, when he went to the town office center, Shu Chang asked about the school and got a positive answer from Drew.

"It used to be a church, built by a missionary from Europe, but then the missionary left and the church was abandoned. ”

Later, most of the town's primary school was destroyed in a storm, and the town's funds were not enough to build a new one, so the abandoned church was renovated and used as the town's primary school. ”

"There are still some sculptures and frescoes left over from the church at that time, if you are interested, I can show you around in a moment. ”

"Okay. Shu Chang readily agreed.

It's not that she is so angry with the church, she has visited the Sophia Cathedral in China, the Milan Cathedral and St. Paul's Cathedral abroad, and the sculptures and frescoes displayed in those world-class churches are far more powerful than such a township church.

Therefore, the church of a small town does not make her look forward to it much, she just has the idea of traveling, thinking about leaving some memories in this town with Nie Wei.

Hearing Shu Chang's promise, Nie Wei didn't speak, and acquiesced in the invitation.

Drew quickly sent Shu Chang and Nie Wei to the vicinity of the township office building, and before the car could reach the door of the building, Nie Wei, who had amazing eyesight, saw a bald uncle standing at the door with two people in front of the office building.

"Is that bald uncle your mayor?" Nie Wei asked, pointing to the three of them.

"That bald head is our mayor, Damon Lista. Uncle Drew looked in the direction of Nie Wei's finger, just as the car was getting closer, he squinted his eyes and identified it, and confirmed that it was their mayor.

Mayor Damon apparently recognized Drew's car, and before Drew could stop it, he immediately greeted him with the town's staff.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor Town, I'm Nie Wei. After getting out of the car, Nie Wei took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Mr. Nie, I like your movie very much, and I am very honored that you have chosen our Pioneer Town as the filming location for your new movie. Mayor Damon was very pleased with Nie Wei's arrival, holding Nie Wei with both hands, and it was a promise as soon as they met.

This enthusiasm made Nie Wei think that he was not here to make a movie, but to invest in the town for free.

"These two people around you?" Nie Wei asked as he gestured to the two people behind Damon with his eyes.

"My name is Alice, I'm the town's accountant, and I'm next to Juan, who is the sheriff of our town. The freckled woman with glasses took the initiative to introduce, and by the way, the middle-aged strong man who seemed a little taciturn on the side was introduced to Nie Wei.

Nie Wei looked at the three people, including Damon, who should be the main management of this town.

Alice is in charge of the town's finances, Juan is the sheriff, and Damon is the mayor of the town, obviously dispatching such a lineup is also their desire to show the importance of Nie Wei's arrival.

Later, the mayor invited Nie Wei to his office, and then found a photo album and handed it to Nie Wei, saying that it belonged to their pioneer town

'Meitu Collection'.

Nie Wei opened the photo album and flipped through it, although he said that it was beautiful, he didn't care about it in his heart.

The reason why he chose Pioneer Town as the filming location is because he likes the dilapidated and desolate nature of this town, not to mention that compared with those well-known beautiful towns in Europe, it is not even ranked among these towns in the western United States, and even belongs to the tail category, and the scenery here is really not worth mentioning.

But Damon, who was on the side, looked at Nie Wei expectantly, especially when Nie Wei 'praised', he was even more happy.

He was looking forward to Nie Wei coming, and he hoped that Nie Wei could bring new hope to this town.

The pioneer town has also been wide for a period of time, it is a period of bumper harvest for many years, so that every family in the pioneer town has made a lot of money, but the land is dependent on the sky to eat, it is impossible to harvest every year, especially with the emergence of those low-priced imported grain, it is further compressed the domestic agricultural market.

And with the loss of population, the possibility of the Pioneer Town turning over is also getting smaller and smaller, which can be a big deal for Damon as the mayor of the town.

He hopes that the pioneer town will become better, only when this town becomes better, can he be noticed by more people and can step onto a bigger stage, and in Damon's view, Nie Wei is the existence that can help him.

A super-rich man worth tens of billions of dollars is simply equivalent to a god for a down-and-out town, and as long as he intends to send down blessings, the town can regain its glory.

So when he knew that Nie Wei was going to come to the town to make a movie, the mayor of Damon thought about how to move Nie Wei, make him interested in his town, and then invest in the town.

"Mr. Nie, the scenery of our town is good, there is no factory here, so the air is fresh, there are many farmlands nearby, and there are horse farms, do you think we are suitable for developing tourism here?" asked Damon tentatively.

"Can you tell us more about your characteristics?" Nie Wei didn't open his mouth to deny, but asked.

Damon thought there was a play, and hurriedly told Nie Wei the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago.

"There are a lot of old buildings in our town, such as the church that is now our Pioneer Town Elementary School, and the Mexican restaurant not far from our office building, and when it comes to that Mexican restaurant, I must recommend it to Nie, where Old Lens makes very authentic Mexican food, and his best thing is burritos, which are so delicious that you can never forget them once you eat them, and you won't find any more authentic Mexican food in the United States than ours. ”

"Aside from that restaurant?"

"There are a lot of farms around us, many farms also have horses, when the time comes, we can develop horseback riding services, by the way, we can also let tourists experience homestays, our people here are very hospitable, when the time comes, tourists are invited to people's homes, eat and sleep in people's homes, really experience our life here." ”

Damon gushed endlessly, obviously making sufficient preparations, and told Nie Wei all the feasible conditions he could think of, and Nie Wei listened very carefully, but the result was a pity, he still did not find the 'unique' feature he wanted from Damon's expression.

"Mayor Damon, your idea is good, but it's not so easy to do tourism, but don't worry, I will try to capture as much of your town as possible in my movie, hoping to help you and your town achieve the purpose of publicity through my film. Nie Wei said.

These words undoubtedly made Damon a little sad, and he could hear that Nie Wei was not interested in his idea of developing the tourism business of Pioneer Town.

But Damon didn't give up either, anyway, Nie Wei was going to shoot here for nearly a month, and he had time to make Nie Wei fall in love with this town.

At noon, Damon invited Nie Wei and his family to go to the century-old Mexican restaurant he recommended.

When I arrived at the hotel, Nie Wei asked the boss to know that although the restaurant has been in existence since the beginning of the town, the pioneer town has only a history of more than 70 years, and this hotel is naturally impossible for another hundred years, it is purely Damon who falsely reported the years, in fact, this Mexican restaurant called Grizzly Bear has only been open for 68 years and has been passed down for three generations.

Chef Lens Sr., who is now in his fifties, has already begun to train the fourth generation of the restaurant, his son Lens Jr.

According to Old Lens, his son Lens Jr. is very talented in cooking, and he has already cooked Mexican food that he has eight points of heat, and he even mentioned an interesting game with Nie Wei, saying that he will make some burritos with his son separately in a while, and let Nie Wei taste which one is delicious when the time comes.

Nie Wei agreed with a smile.

Soon old Lens walked out with a plate of rolled burritos, followed by a young man in his twenties, silently standing aside and looking at Nie Wei expectantly, without asking Nie Wei to know that this must be Little Lens.

"Taste it, which one is delicious?" Old Lens said confidently to Nie Wei, and after speaking, he glanced at his son defiantly, and his son Xiao Lens ignored his father's gaze, just stared at Nie Wei's face.

Nie Wei picked up one casually and tasted it, the burrito mouthed, and the spicy taste filled the entire mouth, Mexican food and Sichuan cuisine are quite similar, and they all pay attention to spiciness.

After tasting the first burrito, Nie Wei took a sip of boiled water, picked up the second burrito and tasted it.

"How, which one is more delicious?" Old Lance asked impatiently when he saw that Nie Wei had finished eating.

"This. Nie Wei pointed to the burrito he picked up first and said, as soon as the words fell, the little Lensi behind Old Lens jumped up excitedly.

"Mr. Nie, that's the burritos I made, oh my God, thank you for your affirmation, Dad, did you hear me, my burritos are even better, hahaha. Little Lens was visibly overexcited, and his speech seemed incoherent.

Old Lens was very disappointed, but Nie Wei clearly saw a hint of relief in Old Lens's eyes.

In fact, for the taste of the two burritos, Nie Wei felt that it was actually about the same, because it was very spicy, so spicy that his taste buds felt a little numb.

But from the beginning of the game that Old Lens proposed, Nie Wei vaguely guessed Old Lens's thoughts.

The small actions of Old Lens in the back also proved this, so Nie Wei pushed the boat along the water and helped Old Lens complete the game.

Nie Wei knows, don't look at Old Lens's face of loss now, but he can't tell how happy he is in his heart, the blue is better than the blue, the child's ability is higher than his own, for the father, it will always be a happy thing, because it will mean that he has a successor.

"You're great, keep it up. Nie Wei gave a thumbs up to Little Lens and praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, I will definitely work hard, I want to open the store in a big city one day, and invite you as a guest when the time comes." Lens Jr. unexpectedly won over his father, and at this time he was full of confidence and dared to say anything.

"Then I'm looking forward to that day, and I'm sure it's not too far away. Nie Wei said another word of encouragement, and then turned his attention to other dishes.

After a lunch, Lao Luns enthusiastically sent Nie Wei and Shu Chang to the car, and sent out an invitation, hoping that they could come back as guests, today's meal Lao Lens also confiscated a penny, but finally asked Nie Wei and their father and son to take a group photo together, and asked Nie Wei's consent to hang the photo in the store at that time.

Nie Wei also promised that when they came back, they would sign the group photo with Shu Chang.
