Chapter 307: Let's Wait and Celebrate
Shi Wenbo drove the car, turned a few streets, and was about to drive away, when he suddenly stopped the car and said, "Why don't we go inside and have a few drinks." ”
Although it seemed that there was an inquiry in the words, but the tone did not have much to solicit, Huang Shi saw that he even stopped the car, and knew that he must be hungry again, and he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but seeing that Bai Xiaohei did not have many objections, he replied, "Okay, but what about driving later?" ”
"Brother Huang, I'll open it!"
Huang Shi saw Bai Xiaohei and said that if he came to drive, there would be no problem, because they had only done big things in front of them, so don't expose them because of driving drunk driving without a license, or such small things.
In addition, Canada's penalties for driving without a license and drunk driving are very severe, for example, if a permanent resident of Canada drives without a license, he will be fined several thousand, or he may be revoked of his immigration status and deported to his place of origin, and in severe cases, he may go to jail. As for the punishment of tourists like Yellowstone, it is not clear what kind of punishment will be received.
And drunk driving is even more so, I heard Swain Bo they said that according to Canadian law, as long as a person drinks more than the limit, and the person is also sitting in the driver's seat, then it is considered drunk driving.
And there is no gray area in the regulations of drunk driving, it is very clear, and it will not escape the punishment of the law because the car is driving in a garage, community, or even on any small road, so that it will not leave an opportunity for law enforcers to take advantage of their power, nor will they leave a reason for violating the law to repay their debts, everything is relatively clear.
Swenbo also said that a friend of mine was later sentenced to five days in detention and fined $500 for drunk driving, and most importantly was sentenced to install this weird machine, which is a device that tests the alcohol content in the body, which is linked to the car's engine, and you have to blow it before starting the car, and when it recognizes that you have no alcohol content, your car can start.
After the car starts, it is blown at it every 15 minutes at first, and then every half hour, and if there is alcohol or it does not blow after the timeout, the car will automatically turn off and restart. His friend was fined for a year to install the machine and paid $120 a month for the use of the machine.
Huang Shi and the others got out of the car and saw that there was indeed a bar not far away, but there were a few words on the sign that they couldn't understand, "...... Bar. ”
"Die-hard fans, it's a sporty bar." After Bai Xiaohei glanced at it, he explained to Huang Shi that he knew that Lao Huang's foreign language level was extremely poor.
Although Huang Shi doesn't go to bars very often, he knows that there are several types of bars, such as performing arts bars, slow shake bars, main bars, wine tasting bars, leisure bars and salon bars.
In addition to darts, there may also be basketball courts, pool tables, punching bags, bowling, and even Wing Chun. Or there are different sports themes, such as lung capacity, body show or something, etc. I don't know what kind of personality the sports bars in Canada will have, and Yellowstone wants to see it.
"Oh, there are so many bars here! Is it a bar street? ”
"Ha Luha, Lao Huang, in Canada, the most important entertainment is the bar, but we Chinese are generally too shy and don't like to go to those places, except for me." Shi Wenbo patted Huangshi on the shoulder and said loudly.
Huang Shi glanced at Shi Wenbo, this guy who is addicted to alcohol, because of his actions in the past few days, so he temporarily quit drinking, now that everything is done, he has not relapsed, just now he drove around the street, probably just to find a bar.
Although Canada's ice wine is very famous, the control of alcohol here is very strict, and unlike the situation in China, ordinary supermarkets, restaurants, and convenience stores do not sell alcohol, and it can only be bought in those stores with liquor licenses, of course, generally there are liquor licenses that are bars.
So after coming to Canada from Yellowstone, I found that I didn't seem to see anyone drinking on the street with a wine bottle, because the law here stipulates that people can't drink in public places, which is also unimaginable in several other Western countries, such as the United States, Japan, and movies, where the protagonist is often walking around with a wine bottle.
And not only that, but they also said that it is illegal to even hold a container containing alcohol in a public place that has been opened. If someone stands on the street with a bottle of wine, the police will immediately come up to check if the bottle has been opened, and if they do, they will immediately empty the wine or take them to the police station. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, people will put it in a paper bag after buying alcohol before taking it to the street.
"Brother Huang, you have to prepare your passport."
"Passport!?" Huang Shixin said that I will drink a drink, why do I have to show my passport, is there a preferential treatment for foreigners to drink, and it will still be discounted.
Bai Xiaohei smiled, "Bars here in Canada need to buy tickets, usually 4 to 6 yuan. Some upscale places may be a little more expensive, but they won't be too expensive. But when we enter the door, we have to be checked for ID, which is similar to our domestic ID card, which is very strict, if you have a green card, or a driver's license, or a work permit, but a student ID card is generally not good, because the date of birth is not marked on the document. ”
Huang Shi reached into his arms and was about to take out his passport, which he had with him anyway, and said, "Oh, so I have to take out my passport to prove my age?" ”
"Yes, except in the city of Montreal, Alberta, which is 18 years old, everyone else is 19 years old."
Huang Shi patted the passport in his hand, "Then this passport is big and thick, so it's impossible for international students to go out with this, right?" ”
"The average Chinese student must use a passport at first, but after a long time, they will take the driver's license test, and if they have a driver's license, they will use it, after all, it is too dangerous to hold a passport, and it will be very troublesome if you lose it."
……
Pushing open the door of the bar, different from the fresh cold air outside, a warm breath came to his face, and immediately made Huangshi's glasses covered with a layer of white mist, he simply took them off and put them in his pocket, this is the outfit he got before going out for this operation, and everything else has been changed in the car, and only this pair of flat glasses is still on his nose, and now he doesn't need it.
Because it was the first time to see a Canadian bar, after Huang Shi came in, he looked around first, and saw that this bar was similar to the scene in an American movie, with a huge square bar in the middle, a few billiard tables, a few game consoles, a lot of train seats, and a few drinkers sitting scattered.
There is a small bar on the right side of the door, which is in the country, the bar hostess of the outer bar should focus on service and marketing, one is to keep the outer bar clean and hygienic, and the other is to communicate and communicate with guests, maintain old customers, and cultivate new customers. You can also play interactive games with guests, play dice, guess boxing, and entertainment, so as to promote the sales of alcohol. The appearance of these bar women is generally relatively good, and their salary forms are mainly based on the basic salary plus the commission.
Huang Shi thought to himself, I don't know if the situation is the same here in Canada, but seeing that Shi Wenbo has already raised his leg and walked over there, Huang Shi slowly followed.
Sure enough, there was a beautiful red-haired girl standing in the bar, although she was a little plump, but she still looked like she had a pretty good temperament, Shi Wenbo was standing opposite her, talking in a chattering voice, and also beckoned to Huang Shi, "Passport." ”
When Huang Shi heard this, he stepped forward and handed over the passport, and after Shi Wenbo took it, he handed it to the beautiful red-haired girl, she smiled at the photo on the passport, looked at Huang Shi, and then said a word of welcome, Huang Shi didn't fully understand, and could only nod and smile at the little girl.
After Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei's green cards and ID cards were verified, I saw Shi Wenbo take out several Canadian coins from his wallet and hand them to the bar girl, it seems that this bar counter is the table they said sells tickets.
"What do you want to drink?" After buying the ticket, Shi Wenbo turned his head and asked Huangshi, Bai Xiaohei must only be able to drink mineral water.
Huang Shi was a little depressed, looking at the rows of wine on the shelves at the inner bar, he didn't know any of the varieties, so how did he choose, "Old Shi, what kind of wine are there on this?" ”
"It's some beer, and Scotch, and tequila, and then vodka over here." Shi Wenbo pointed at the wine bottles on the wine shelf, but he didn't follow up on their brands, because even if he said it, Lao Huang wouldn't understand.
Huang Shi thought that beer was too ordinary, and he had drunk enough in China, and in China, he heard that cold beer was more famous, and the beer was probably still drunk in Germany. Although vodka is very distinctive, I heard that the degree is higher than that of domestic liquor, which is the favorite of the big brother of the Soviet Union, and it is their national drink, but I still don't want to be abused.
Scotch whisky seems to be quite famous, but whisky itself has been drunk. Only tequila seems to have not been drunk by itself, and tequila is called "tequila", or is it a Mexican specialty, and it is also known as the soul of Mexico.
So he said, "Old Shi, give us two bottles of wine, a bottle of Scotch whiskey and a bottle of Mexican tequila, and we'll celebrate later." ”
