Chapter 842: .Capital of Customs (3/5)

Although he has been to Wellington several times, Wang Bo experienced a different style again this time, because this time an old driver led by Hani, he has a deep understanding of the history of Wellington.
According to Māori legend, the explorer Cupe was the first to discover the port of Wellington. The city's Maori name is te-hanganui-a-tara, which means the great port of Tara, so live in Hawkes Bay Named by the son of Hatonga Chief on the beach.
The chief sent his son tara and half-brother to explore the southern part of the North Island. They returned a year later to report that it was a fertile resort, and then the people of hatonga moved to the past and established the famous ngati-tara. Maori tribe.
Shortly after Colonel William Wakefield arrived here and purchased land from the Maori, the first European immigrants landed on the New Zealand company Aurora ship on January 22, 1840.
But because the New Zealand company's sale was hasty and illegal, the Maori denied that they had sold the land here, so there has been a battle for land.
However, this is a well-developed place. Despite the sparse plains, the population is still very fast. It took only ten years. In 1850, Wellington had 5,500 people and became a very prosperous settlement at the time.
Beginning in 1852, Wellington began reclamation and land expansion, and in 1855 a large earthquake lifted many parts of the city.
Ten years later, the New Zealand government moved the capital from Auckland to Wellington. By the twentieth century, Wellington's ports became more prosperous, manufacturing chambers of commerce and banks quickly emerged around it, other industries developed, and the city began to expand outward.
"As far as the Hart Valley, Porirua, and Kapiti Coast, Wellington has reached this scale in the early last century, which is definitely an impressive achievement," Hani said.
Wang Bo smiled and said nothing, his face showed a pattern of Tucson's broken expression.
Hani squinted at him and asked, "Do you have any objection, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Bo laughed: "Mr. Wang has no objection. My ancestors have no objection. The scale of Wellington in the last century is a county in our country."
Hani spread his hand: "Compared with the United States to the military and China to history, this is a trick-and-rogue act."
For lunch, they went to the nc cafe, which is also an elegant restaurant, and Hani praised it, saying that this restaurant has always presented customers with such simple but evocative dishes.
Wang Bo originally wanted to visit the city's food market. It was the harbour market that Charlie had taken him to, as well as the farmers' market and the city market.
But since Hani has recommended a restaurant, he can also try it.
This restaurant is very styled, with a compact box space, but with a sense of Zen, there are some Zen and Buddhist portraits on the wall, and there are related statues on the table.
But Wang Bo didn't understand. What is the integration of Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism?
The restaurant's signature dishes include egg onion bean rice, sage eggs, Tibetan fried tofu, vinegar dressing, grilled fish in gravy, seafood pot dinner and more.
In addition, this restaurant offers aperitif, not red wine commonly used in New Zealand, but sweet potato wine. This thing Wang Bo has heard of in the country but hasn't drank. You can try it this time.
That Qingyang's hometown also has this kind of wine, "We called sweet potato roast, have you read" Bright Sword "? Li Yunlong drinks this stuff, and I will do it."
Wang Bo's eyes lit up and he said, "You still do sweet potato roast? I don't see how fat and eary you are and how you do it."
That Qingyang couldn't help crying: "What's so difficult? As long as you have sweet potatoes and a large iron pot, you can think of ways to get some tools, and this wine is easy to make."
As soon as Wang Bo patted the table, he said, "I have to do it back then. I have planted a lot of sweet potatoes in my vegetable field. I harvested them in the cellar in the first half of the year."
Then Qingyang looked at him seriously, and added: "Well, let me make it clear that I will definitely make sweet potato roast, but this taste may not be as delicious as others."
Sweet potato wine is held in a transparent bottle. New Zealand's sweet potato wine doesn't know what to add. The color is light red, which is a bit like wine.
But this is obviously something else was added later. Pharaoh had never seen pork and had seen pigs run. Grain and alcohol were brewed by evaporating alcohol, which could not have obvious colors.
However, New Zealand has very strict food safety controls, so don't worry about the mess in the restaurant to add things, it's very safe to drink.
This sweet potato wine has a relatively low alcohol content. It is positioned as a strong drink in the restaurant, which means that it can be used as a drink. Of course, if you drink this drink, you are definitely not allowed to drive.
Wang Bo took a sip, soft and sweet, with the unique spicy and tingling sensation of alcohol, and it felt pretty good.
Drinking sweet potato roast, eating gravy grilled fish and various seafood, the three men drank more and more skin, and drank four pounds of this sweet potato wine in one meal.
The next thing Wang Bo had no impression, when he woke up scratching his head, it was already setting sun outside ...
"What's going on? Why is it going to be dark? Tropical cyclones are back again?" Pharaoh stunned.
Eva, who was reading a book, raised his head and gave him a kind of charming white eyes, saying: "If the tropical cyclone really comes, I will throw you out and be swept away by the wind! You are too gentleman at noon. All the men are lying on the ground. I asked someone to carry you back! "
Sweet potato wine is also wine. This thing is defined as a good drink, but it has a premise, ‘Strong’!
The three of them drank nothing, their stamina came up, and they all fell down together.
Wang Bo has the best physical fitness. He woke up earliest. On the other side, Qingyang and Hani are still sleeping.
"It's over, Hani has no time to go shopping." Pharaoh smiled sympathetically.
However, this wine has a benefit. It won't be uncomfortable after waking up. When Hani wakes up, they can go to dinner.
I heard that I was going to have dinner, then Qingyang waved his hand: "No, no, no digestion at noon, lying down, a little uncomfortable in the stomach, where is the toilet?"
Hani decided to visit Wellington's night market. After all, this is the capital, and it is still very charming in summer nights.
Wellingtonians like to stay late at night. When the average person is going to sleep with a cup of hot chocolate, they can often be seen flooding into the city.
Wang Bo, they took to the streets, and a tumult came.
Music is everywhere, and a small bar is just a few steps away from their street. Through the glass wall, you can see a variety of cocktails, wines and home-made beer.
