416.War Dance Together (2/5)
Hakari is the most solemn gathering of MΔori, and the welcoming ceremony lasts until sunset.
As the last glimmer of light disappeared into the sky, louder cheers rang out, soaring into the sky!
The red silk on the food shelf was torn off, and sure enough, it was full of fish, meat and fruits, not to mention the dazzling array of fruits and fish, but only the meat inside, the cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits, venison, and the whole calves and goats.
The first to come up was Hangyi, which Wang Bo had eaten, this time it was more pure, and Atulu introduced him: "Behind the auditorium, um is the best mud stove, come on, there is delicious lamb here, you must like it!" β
It is estimated that at least a ton of Hangyi food has been delivered, mainly meat, as well as fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and sweet potatoes.
Regardless of whether it is vegetables or meat, it is still steaming when it is served, and the simple smell of meat permeates all directions, making this party more atmospheric.
When Hang Yi came up, more than twenty strong men rushed to the wooden platform in the center, with tattoos and oil paint, and the two big men who led the group also had pheasant feathers like those of the Indians on their heads.
Armed with spears or swords, they danced on the stage.
The Maori War Dance is known for its majestic momentum and high fighting spirit, Wang Bo leaned in to take a look, the weapons in the hands of these people are all genuine things, and the cold light is shining!
"Boost morale and deter the enemy." Eva walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayor, have you been shocked?" β
Lao Wang hugged her and kissed her, and said: "They are still far away, I have seen a big scene, if they come in a tank, they may shock me." β
There is a lot of time to perform with spears and knives, after all, this is a weapon, and it is not suitable for festive days.
According to Aturu, he said that the purpose of taking out weapons is to show respect for Wang Bo, and generally only when the Maori queen or the descendants of the prophet Ratana arrive, they will display their weapons.
The Prophet Ratana, a great MΔori leader of modern times, was a healer and campaigner, founded his own church in 1918 and was a leader of MΔori politicians.
The Maori war dance in the back is more amiable, without the use of weapons, and the big men roar and perform with teenagers, mainly slapping the chest and swinging fists, which is very simple and rhythmic.
After eating Hangyi, someone brought Wang Bo a plate of pies.
He took a bite, and several hot juices squirted out, spilling on his hands and face, and he grinned hotly.
Eva snickered next to her and said, "You eat slowly, you can't eat hot pies in a hurry." β
The pie is made of fatty beef with cartilage, which tastes crunchy and fragrant, but it is too tooth-consuming, and he feels that his cheeks are a little numb after eating one.
The Maori love of food and wine is unmatched by other races, and beers and wines are served in wooden barrels under the food shelf, and whoever wants to drink can take a glass to pick it up.
Wang Bo saw several teenage children also running to pick up drinks, and shouted to Atulu: "We are policemen, man, underage drinking." β
Aturu laughed and said, "That's also called wine? That's clear water! Come, take our lethal force! Give the mayor lethal force! β
New Zealand has strict alcohol controls, for example, the department stores in Sunset Town have not yet been licensed to sell spirits, and they can only sell beer and wine, not spirits.
But these restrictions are useless for the Maori people, who make their own spirits, and Wang Bo has experienced it, and it is almost fatal.
While drinking, someone brought a large iron plate, and many people cheered, and Atulu pushed Wang Bo over.
Lao Wang couldn't help but gasp when he saw it: "I'll go, what is this?" Bugger? β
The inside of the iron plate was not simply fried insects, but a dish that looked complicated, but he could see that it was mainly insects and the like, half a finger in size, some milky white and some red, and small snails, which looked a little dark and tasted like a dark dish.
"Beards, westcargots, high-protein earthworms, this is a delicacy that you can't taste anywhere else, come and eat it!"
Wang Bo looked at Eva, he knew that his daughter-in-law would not pit herself: "This thing is really edible?" β
Eva said: "Yes, it's actually a three-course dish." The beard is a scavenging insect that lives in wood, and it is the milky white one. High-protein earthworms are artificially cultivated and can be eaten. β
Wang Bo dug a spoonful and filled it in his mouth, which was scalded with sauce, so it tasted good.
But he didn't like it, so he politely took a bite and took a sip to little Lori, and then he withdrew from the competition for this delicious dish.
Little Lori eats with a mouth full of oil, a piece of barbecue in her left hand and a whiskey sausage in her right hand, and her big eyes are crooked with a smile, like two crescent moons.
After eating for a while, the Maori began to fight.
Aturu and the Destroyer pushed Wang Bo to the center and handed him a flask for him to pour down.
Lao Wang didn't drink it, although he didn't know what kind of wine it was, but he sniffed the pungent smell and knew that it must be a strong wine.
The Radiant Hero was also holding a flask, and he shouted, "Drink it, King, and then we will go to the war dance together!" Rest assured, this wine will not make you miserable! β
"Roar, roar, roar! Drink it down! Warrior! Warrior! Warrior! β
The Maori around her were heckling, and Eva was laughing and clapping her hands, too.
Wang Bo saw that it was difficult to resist, so he had to raise his head and pour this bottle of wine.
When the liquor enters the throat, it is not very painful, and if it is lethal force, drinking it like putting a knife in the stomach, this wine is relatively soft.
drank at least half a catty of wine in one gulp, and Wang Bo took it out and poured the bottle to show that he had drunk it all.
Louder cheers rang out from all directions, and almost everyone applauded.
Atulu, Glorious Hero and others also drank their share, and Lao Wang asked, "What kind of wine is this?" Shet, the taste is quite soft, but why is the wine so rushing? β
"Well, because it's a cocktail, made with lethal force, Syrah, three wines, and three beers."
Hearing this, Lao Wang's face turned pale, and he shouted, "You cheat me!" This horse will kill you! β
White wine and beer are called mines, and white wine and red wine are called bombs, what are they called together? He thinks it's okay to call it a nuclear weapon.
The Radiant Hero laughed and said, "It's okay, man, you'll love it in five minutes!" β
It didn't take five minutes, the wine was played very violently, after a minute, Wang Bo felt that his head was a little dazed, after two minutes his vision was blurred, and after a while, he was excited.
"War dance! War Dance! Lao Wang waved his fist and shouted, "Let's dance!" β
