Although he has been to Wellington several times, Wang Bo has experienced a different style when he comes back this time, because this time, with the veteran driver Hani, he has a deep understanding of the history of Wellington.

According to Maori legend, explorer Kupe 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, named after the son of Chief Hatonga who lives on the beach of Hawkes Bay.

The chief sent his son Tara and half-brother to explore the southern part of the North Island, and a year later they returned to report that it was a rich resort, and then the Hatonga tribe moved to establish 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 January 22, 1840 on the New Zealand company's Aurora.

But because the New Zealand company's transaction was sloppy and illegal, the Maori denied that they had sold the land here, and a land struggle was launched here.

However, this is a place with very developed transportation. Although the plains are sparse and the population still gathers quickly. In just ten years, Wellington had 5,500 people in 1850, becoming a very prosperous settlement at that time.

Starting from 1852, Wellington began to reclaim land and expand its scale. In 1855, a major earthquake raised many parts of the city.

Ten years later, the New Zealand government moved the capital from Auckland to Wellington. By the 20th century, Wellington's ports became more and more prosperous, with the manufacturing chambers and banks emerging rapidly around it, other industries developed, and cities began to expand outward.

"Far from the Hart Valley, the coasts of Porirua and Capiti, Wellington developed to this scale early in the last century, which is definitely an impressive achievement." Hani introduced.

Wang Bo smiled but said nothing, and his face showed a broken expression of Tusen.

Hani glanced at him and asked, "Do you have any objections to Mr. Wang?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Mr. Wang has no objection. My ancestors have objections. The scale of Wellington in the last century is just a county town in our country."

Hani spread his hands: "Comparing military with the United States and history with China is all a gangster's behavior."

For lunch, they went to the NC Café, which is also an elegant restaurant. Hani praised it and said that this restaurant has always presented customers with simple but endless dishes.

Wang Bo originally wanted to go to the city's food market, which was the harbor market that Charlie once took him to, as well as the farmers' market and the city market.

But since Hani recommended a restaurant, he could try it too.

This restaurant is very stylish and has a compact private room space, but it has Zen meaning. There are some Zen and Buddhist portraits hanging on the walls, and there are also related statues on the table.

But Wang Bo doesn’t understand. What’s the point of integrating Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism?

The restaurant’s signature dishes include egg, onion, bean rice, sage eggs, Tibetan fried tofu, vinegar mixed vegetables, grilled fish with gravy, seafood pot meals, etc.

In addition, this restaurant provides aperitifs, not the common red wine in New Zealand, but sweet potato wine. Wang Bo has heard of this thing in China but has never drunk it. This time you can take the opportunity to try it.

There is also this kind of wine in Qingyang's hometown. "We call it sweet potato roast there. Have you seen "Bright Sword"? It's just this thing that Li Yunlong drinks in it, and I can still make it."

Wang Bo's eyes lit up and he said, "You can still cook sweet potatoes? I can't tell that you have such skills when you are fat and big-eared."

Qingyang couldn't help laughing and crying: "What's the difficulty? As long as there are sweet potatoes and big iron pots, I will find some tools to make this wine easily."

Wang Bo slapped the table and said, "Then you have to do it when you go back. I have grown a lot of sweet potatoes in my vegetable fields. I have harvested them in the first half of the year and stored them in the cellar."

Seeing that he was serious, Qingyang added: "Well, let me tell you clearly, I will definitely make sweet potato roast, but this taste may not be as delicious as others."

Sweet potato wine is served in transparent bottles. I don’t know what New Zealand sweet potato wine has added. The color is light red, which is a bit like wine.

But this is obviously something else was added later. Lao Wang had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Grain wine is brewed by evaporating alcohol and cannot have obvious colors.

However, New Zealand has very strict control over food safety, so there is no need to worry about adding things to the restaurant in a mess, so it is still very safe to drink.

The alcohol content of this sweet potato wine is relatively low. It is positioned as a strong drink in the restaurant, which means it can be used as a drink. Of course, if you drink this kind of drink, you will definitely not be allowed to drive.

Wang Bo took a sip and it was soft and sweet, with the unique spicy and tingling taste of alcohol, which made him feel good.

Drinking sweet potato roast, eating grilled fish and various seafood, the three men became more and more excited as they drank, and they drank four kilograms of this sweet potato wine in one meal.

Wang Bo had no impression of what happened next. When he woke up with his head scratching his head, the sun was setting outside...

"What's going on? Why is it getting dark? A tropical cyclone is coming again?" Lao Wang said in shock.

Eva, who was reading a book, raised her head and gave him a charming roll of eyes, saying, "If the tropical cyclone really comes, I will throw you out and be swept away by the wind! You are so ungent at noon. After dinner, the three men all lay on the ground. I found someone to carry you back!"

Sweet potato wine is also a wine. This thing is defined as a good drink, but it has a premise, "strongness"!

The three of them had nothing to do when they drank, and their stamina came up and they were knocked down together.

Wang Bo has the best physical fitness and wakes up the earliest. Qingyang and Hani are still sleeping soundly on the other side.

"It's over, Hani has no time to go shopping in the mall." Lao Wang laughed sympathetically.

However, this wine has an advantage, and it won’t feel uncomfortable when you wake up. When Hani and the others wake up, they can go for supper.

When I heard that I was going to have dinner, Qingyang waved his hand: "No, I won't eat anymore. I didn't digest the afternoon. Damn it, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Where is the toilet?"

Haney decided to visit the night market in Wellington. After all, this is the capital and the summer nights are still very charming.

Wellingtonians like to go to bed late at night. When ordinary people are preparing to drink a cup of hot chocolate, they can often see Wellingtonians flock to the city.

Wang Bo and the others walked onto the streets, and a hustle and bustle came towards them.

There was music everywhere, and on the street where they were, there was a small bar just a few steps away. Through the glass wall, you could see all kinds of cocktails, wines and homemade beer.
