Chapter 520: State Government Commendation
"I have to admit that because it was a temporary idea, the preparation for this first tourism meeting was a bit hasty, and it took less than ten days from the proposal to the event! Look at our band, oh my god, I can't even find a set of professional electronic drums, and we have to make up the numbers with handmade cowhide drums."
For Marcus's joking self-deprecation, the tourists applauded lightly and let out a chuckle, but the expectations of this tourism meeting in their hearts were not reduced because of Marcus's honest words.
Because everyone comes to Augusta, it is a vacation to relax, as long as the program of the travel club is relaxed and funny, and can bring everyone a pleasant time, then whether it is professional or not is secondary, after all, if you want to watch a professional performance, the opera house may be a more correct choice!
"No, no, Mr. Marcus!"
The beautiful female drummer who sat on the right edge of the stage with her teammates pretended to be eager to justify, shaking her white little hand and explaining, "Don't underestimate my cowhide drum, you must not think that the cowhide used on it was obtained from the Sun River Ranch!" ”
In the end, the female drummer also deliberately made a proud look, as if there was such a cowhide drum, which was a very face-saving thing!
"Oh my God, you've got cowhides from the Sunriver Ranch! God, this is simply insane! Marcus looked at the female drummer in a bit of disbelief, looking a little dumbfounded!
"You know, I've always wanted to get a cowhide like this, but the problem is, Yi has always been reluctant to give it to me! It's hard to imagine how you got this cowhide."
Marcus's attitude towards the cowhide drum changed drastically, and he hurried over, as if he were examining a treasure, and looked at the cowhide drum with his eyes!
"Mr. Marcus, don't look at it. I guarantee it's the real thing! Swear to God! The female drummer carefully guarded her cowhide drum, as if she was afraid that the old fellow would be clumsy and break her beloved cowhide drum
The audience below had already seen it laughing, and they were a little puzzled at first, but the words Sun River Ranch popped out, and everyone immediately knew that Marcus and the female drummer had started another performance!
And the object of ridicule is the Qin's beef cattle that have made countless rich and middle-class people flock to it this year!
Good guys, Qin's beef cattle are expensive and precious. The material of cowhide is also more advanced than that of ordinary cattle breeds, but it is not as good as a cowhide, which makes people regard it as a treasure
What an exaggeration!
Of course, their jokes are just to amuse everyone, and there are also some people who use the fame of Sun River Ranch to promote the meaning of Augusta Town.
It's just that Marcus and the one they arranged was really beyond Qin Yi's expectations, so when the photographer turned the lens to him at the right time, he easily captured his stunned and dazed. And the big smile that comes with it!
Susa and Kolo beside him were even more grinning and laughing, looking very unimpressive!
This scene was shown on the makeshift big screen in the town square, and after it was broadcast on television. Many people can also feel a relaxed atmosphere, and can't help but let out hearty laughter, thinking that this family is really happy!
"Oh, Illya! Am I still going to rob you of the cowhide drum? I'm not that kind of person. Never! Marcus noticed the female drummer's slight defense, and immediately put on a righteous face, indicating that he was a decent person!
Just those eyes. Still glancing at the cowhide drum from time to time
This style makes the tourists laugh even more!
"You know, I'm going to have one of these cowhides soon! Because Yi promised me that as long as I agreed to preside over the opening ceremony of this tourism fair, he would give me a copy, which is why I am standing here! Otherwise, even if it was our Mr. President's invitation, I would have refused, perhaps! ”
There was another chuckle at the bottom, but just when everyone thought that Marcus was going to rease the president, they didn't think that he would change his words and pull on something else.
I saw him put away his funny expression and said with a serious face: "Okay, let's talk about something serious today is destined to become an inherent festival, a festival belonging to Augusta, because since this year, Augusta has entered a new era!" ”
"Many people may have heard that the thriving tourism industry in our town today depends on one person, a great and charismatic person!" Marcus looked at the direction of Qin Yi and his party with a feverish expression, raised his fist above his head and waved it vigorously, roaring loudly like a fighter: "Yes, this is Yi, the hero of our Augusta Town!" ”
The band played a solemn music at the right time, and the residents of Augusta scattered in the audience also chanted Qin Yi's name, accompanied by even more fierce applause!
The tourists from other places didn't feel much at all, after all, Qin Yi didn't bring them jobs, let alone let their income skyrocket, but because of the drive of the town's residents, everyone also applauded, not for anything else, but for the surrounding town's residents who were full of fighting spirit!
"Do you hear that? Yi, you've become a hero! Susa chuckled, her gentle eyes full of teasing.
"It's terrible that heroes look like this! God, kill me! ”
Kolo pretended to look at Qin Yi curiously, and then sighed regretfully, as if Qin Yi's appearance really disappointed her!
She even gestured with her hand to shoot herself, and with a bang, she lay softly in Susa's arms, causing the girls to giggle and look at Qin Yi's gaze, full of ridicule!
Qin Yi pretended to be angry and raised his hand and knocked his daughters-in-law on their smooth foreheads one by one "viciously", the affection shown in the family's fight made the people around him envious.
Angel in her arms, and Becky who was held by Walker on the side, although they didn't understand what the adults meant, but when they saw that everyone was very happy, they laughed along, and the two little heads swayed little by little, and the pigtails swayed with it, looking lively and cute.
The cute little girl easily snatched part of the attention of nearby tourists from Marcus!
Although he didn't plan to speak on stage, he was mentioned by Marcus at this time, and the residents were also very popular, so Qin Yi also stepped onto the half-meter-high stage with Angel in his arms and simply waved to everyone, which attracted even more support!
He hurried back to where he was, and Marcus changed the subject in time.
Now is not the time for Qin Yi to speak. Because according to the plan, on Christmas or New Year's Day this year, the town will also hold a special celebration, and at that time, it is the time to recognize Qin Yi's contribution to the town.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to get faster, and I can't wait to get my piece of cowhide! Well, as you can see, although we are not professionals. But dare I say that our show is definitely done with care! But before more shows start, I'm going to have a guest on stage, and he is said to have good news for all of us! ”
As he spoke, Marcus faced the direction of Qin Yi and the others, and danced a street dance that was not very good, with his clothes, like an old zebra with four hooves and unsteady feet, that funny appearance. The tourists in the square burst into laughter.
But Marcus obviously doesn't care, because he's just a free-spirited old cowboy!
"Now, let's welcome our Councillor Scott to the stage!"
Scott straightened his suit and greeted everyone with a smile. Only then did Shi Shiran step on the stage, and the elegance and affinity he showed at that moment made many people feel good.
Watch Scott's temperament transform from an old scoundrel to a gentleman. Qin Yi thinks it's very interesting, this guy seems to have the potential of an actor, no wonder he can be a politician
Scott shook Marcus' hand with a smile on his face. Then, facing the residents and tourists, he greeted them in a slow, calm and confident tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Augusta!" I'm sure it's worth it, because from my experience, it's a beautiful town! ”
Scott slowly scanned the crowd, but instead of pressure, it was a kind of kindness.
It seems that if you make eye contact with him, you can feel that he is smiling and greeting you, such a strong affinity, it is easy to be recognized by everyone, and even many people can't help but have a feeling of "this person is not bad, quite reliable"!
I have to say that Councillor Scott is still very set!
"Look, that's the face of a damned, disgusting politician!"
Walker muttered, looking at Scott's gaze, although it could not be called disgust, but it was also not favorable, because a small farmer like him was most disgusted by the councillors, because these people often only looked out for the interests of the big ranchers!
"Okay, Walker, you don't have to do that, you know, you're on the side now, we all are!" Jones laughed and patted his old friend on the shoulder, not forgetting to stir his characteristic bushy eyebrows.
What he meant was that Scott was on Qin Yi's side, so in the future, they, Qin Yi's followers, would definitely benefit, so there was no need to look at the problem with old eyes!
Sure enough, after Jones's reminder, Walker suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately shook his head and chuckled: "Yes, Jones, you are very right!" I used to hate relationships, but now, haha, I love this thing! ”
Qin Yi and the others also laughed along, only two girls, lying in the arms of their respective fathers and grandfathers, smiling, looking around, while playing a game of clapping, the whole scene was full of childlike fun, and the crowd around them felt that their mentality was much younger!
On stage, Congressman Scott's speech continued.
"For a long time, Montana's main economic pillars have been agriculture, animal husbandry and mining, and perhaps the construction industry, but due to the general environment, Montana's economy is also very sluggish, and although the government has been working hard to solve this problem, I have to admit that so far, our measures have not achieved very significant results, which is regrettable"
"Augusta, a small town that was originally inconspicuous, has found a new farm business model by attracting foreign tourists, which has not only brought prosperity to the town, but also brought hope to other struggling towns"
"I am here, on behalf of the Montana government, to award Augusta Town: Farm and Ranch Tourism Economic Development Demonstration Zone, Little Cattle Star Farm Area, Explorer of New Farm Management Models and other honorary titles! The official certificate, which I will pass on to Mayor Marcus later, thank you all and I hope you all have a great holiday! ”
Looking at the cheering crowd, as well as the overjoyed Susa and Kolo, Qin Yi's heart was also full of joy, but he didn't expect the good news in Scott's mouth to be a special award from the state government!
Although there is no substantial immediate interest, but these honors are the business card of the town, in the long run, it has an extremely important role in the development of the town, at the very least, the town produces more high-quality products, can already increase the price of one or two!
The benefits are great!
Therefore, Walker and the others couldn't help but hug Qin Yi tightly, but fortunately, Susa had the foresight and took Angel over as soon as possible (to be continued. )
