There is an out, there is in, 500,000 cash is first-class, and Lao Wang's cash is immediately gone, so he urges Charlie to take him to Newfoundland to apply for a bank card to receive government grants.

Charlie nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll rest for two days and we'll go, and then come back and we'll prepare for Christmas." ”

Hearing this, Wang Bo sighed a little emotionally, time is like flowing water, it has been almost a month since he came to New Zealand in the blink of an eye, and it is now early December, and Christmas is only more than half a month away.

Christmas in New Zealand is also a bit interesting, no snow, no reindeer, it's still summer, almost the hottest time of the year, Santa Claus is estimated to have to hand out gifts shirtless.

According to the seasons in New Zealand, it is summer, with spring from September to November, summer from December to February, autumn from March to May, and winter from June to August.

After the weekend, after breakfast, they took a helicopter to Wellington to get a bank card, and the commander and the strong man handed it over to Bowen.

Sunset is more than 800 kilometres from Wellington, and it takes more than three hours to travel at the speed of a helicopter. Fortunately, they can walk in a straight line from the air, and through the Southern Alps, Wang Bo can pass the time overlooking New Zealand's highest mountain.

Along the way, the helicopter flew through the snow-capped mountains and deep green jungles, and the mountain environment was almost untouched, although the mountains are not high and the woods are not too deep, but the taste of the primeval jungle is very strong, and there is a unique style.

In the first hour after takeoff, Wang Bo stored hundreds of photos in his mobile phone, and such a pure mountain environment was really new to him.

Crossing the Cook Strait between the South Island and the North Island, the helicopter entered Wellington's controlled airspace.

Charlie and the ground radar station will make a flight debrief, and when approved, they will land on the rooftop tarmac of the Green Olive Hotel, a five-star hotel in Wellington.

As the capital of New Zealand's political and cultural centre, Wellington is small but well-known as a 'dessert station' in the southern hemisphere. Not a lot of delicious desserts, of course, but describing her cuteness and beauty – New Zealanders call it sweet.

The city is a mountain port city, surrounded by green slopes with dense forests, sea breezes on three sides, viewing platforms on each hill, golden sandy beaches for walking to the northwest, and spectacular rugged coasts to the south.

However, the sea breeze here was a bit too strong, and Wang Bo walked on the street with his clothes flying, so he complained repeatedly, but Charlie ignored him.

Lao Wang turned his head to look at him strangely, and found that this guy was scanning around with wide eyes, because the wind was strong, and the skirts of the girls on the road were also flying......

The emperor is not a hungry soldier, and Lao Wang is also a soil emperor now, although strictly speaking, there is only a dog and a bird under his rule, but after all, the identity is there, and he has to invite Charlie, the auxiliary minister, to have a good meal.

Wellington is a professional tourist city, full of fine cafés and palatial restaurants, and some of the streets are filled with the aroma of coffee.

Wang Bo found a restaurant that looked quite high-end and wanted to enter, Charlie stopped him and shook his head, and said with a wicked smile: "No, it's not here, we have a Wellington special meal at noon!" ”

"Shet, just let go of your belt and eat hard, it will make you diarrhea!" Lao Wang said angrily, he knew that this guy was going to kill him.

Charlie hailed a taxi and said that strangers could not walk in Wellington because the city had a lot of one-way lanes and sidewalks, and there were many unjust roads to take if you were not familiar with it.

Indeed, after they got into the car, Charlie said an address called 'Harbour Market', and the driver drove around left and right, and Wang quickly became dizzy.

In fact, Wang Bo has a particularly big shortcoming, that is, he has a poor sense of direction, and he fell to his hometown county, so it was really great courage to dare to go to New Zealand alone.

The driver muttered as he drove, "It's hard to get to the harbor city from here, especially now that it's the damn midday rush hour......"

Charlie asked Wang Bo for a police badge, then slapped it on the driver's platform and said, "Fifteen yuan, anyway, no matter how far you drive, there is only this money." ”

"Shet!" The driver cursed and quickly turned into a small road, and then crossed four or five small roads, and a farmer's market filled with the smell of the sea appeared in their field of vision.

After taking a fifteen yuan and getting out of the car, Wang Bo looked sluggish: "Damn, it's not you who lead the way today, are you going to be slaughtered?" ”

Charlie shrugged and said, "Young man, this is the real world, let's go, don't you Chinese like to say that life is unsatisfactory **?" Now we are starting to enter that tenth of the time, and it's time for pleasant shopping. ”

Wellington is home to three well-known food markets, a farmers' market that only sells fruit and vegetables, a harbour market that specialises in seafood, and a city market full of outstanding folk food artisans.

Wang Bo then followed Charlie, who went to several seafood shops and bought an arm-length lobster, a plate of large oysters, some small whitebait, some shellfish that Lao Wang had never seen before, and freshly smoked salmon meat.

These seafood are expensive in the mainland, but they are very cheap here, and they only cost 120 yuan in total, and Charlie did not let Lao Wang pay the bill, but paid for it himself.

Wang Bo was very embarrassed, stopped him and said, "I said that I will invite you to eat, how can I make you pay the bill?" ”

Charlie waved his hand generously and said, "Don't be polite to me, Wang, I'll give me this bill, and you can pay some processing fees later." ”

The seafood was raw and naturally needed to be processed, and after buying it, they took a taxi to another food mall, which is also known as the city market, and then Charlie found a stall for the owner to process.

The city market can be said to be a food court, with an open-air observation deck, and if you find a place for two people to sit down, Wang Bo can lie on the back of a chair and enjoy the sea view not far away.

The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the crystal waves are crashing against the thin rocky shore and making a 'bang' whistling sound, and a flock of seagulls are flying close to the shore, so the violent waves crashing on the shore are mixed with the chirping of birds, which is crisp and pleasant.

The lobster is plump, and the chef takes out the tender shrimp meat and divides it into two parts, one is sliced and sashimi, and the other is stewed with lobster shells and oyster meat in a thick soup.

For salmon, the only way to eat salmon is sashimi, but Charlie buys freshly smoked fish that the chef uses to make salads.

Salmon slices are served with coriander, basil, and a dash of chili and watercress, making it look like a work of art.

A plate of fat oysters is more complicated, and when the large plates are served, the oysters are steamed with condiments, fried oysters, fried oysters dipped in oil and vinegar, and the roasted oysters that Wang Bo has eaten, topped with olive oil, fine vermicelli and chili sauce, and the oil is still sizzling when it is served.

Baby whitebait and shellfish are simply fried, while the latter is simmered in a pot and served with a mixture of Japanese miso and wasabi. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
