Start by trimming cow hooves

The Kingdom of Hawaii has disappeared for hundreds of years.

Sheriff Machado is an Aboriginal person, and his way of thinking and living habits are almost the same as those of American residents. He studied in a school dominated by white people since he was a child, and he has accepted the current situation in Hawaii.

Some traditional tribes still follow ancient traditions.

They believe that Hawaii belongs to the indigenous people, and that other forces are thieves and robbers.

It's a pity that these people can't make any waves and can only stay in the village to amuse themselves. The official is also happy to keep them and advertise them as "beacons of freedom."

On Lanai.

Suri is the most powerful person, influencing almost all the residents of Lanai Town directly and indirectly.

Sheriff Machado also enjoys high prestige among the local aboriginal people. He would be foolish to argue with Suri over a few overflowing lobsters.

At this moment.

They stayed on two speedboats.

Sheriff Machado stepped on the stern of the boat, handed a cigar to Suri, and said:

"I grow tobacco leaves from volcanic ash and roll them into cigars by myself. If you like it, I will give you another box. In fact, even if I don't meet you today, I will go to the Four Seasons Hotel to find you. In the early morning, tourists made anonymous calls and reported that they were caring about their parents. Burning cash in a pot on a cliff, it looks like it's at least a million dollars, can I ask what's going on?"

Su Rui was quite surprised. He took out his phone and looked at the date. Then he suddenly realized it and explained at a loss of whether to laugh or cry:

"Today is the day my grandpa passed away. They didn't burn real money, but...ancestor money. A kind of crude paper with Tiandi Bank written on it. It's easy to buy in Chinatown. It belongs to our Chinese tradition. By burning Sent to the souls of our ancestors.”

Sheriff Machado, who had never heard of this custom, replied:

"Originally, I wanted to make a suggestion. If you have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it, why not donate it to the town. So that's it. This custom is so interesting. Do people need to worry about money while they are alive? They have to work hard even after death. Make money?"

Suri said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"That's true. Maybe it's because real life is too hard, so we hope our ancestors will enjoy more happiness after death. Some people will burn some paper cars, paper houses and paper gold."

In addition to Sheriff Machado, Daddario was also a little confused, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

The vast majority of Americans only have eyes for themselves, and many people don't even know where their old neighbors, Canada and Mexico, are. The so-called happy education has cultivated a large number of idiots, and their heads are so empty that they can hear the echo.

Don't expect the American media to praise the mainland. It's a good thing not to be sarcastic.

Like the traditional culture on the other side.

Unless you go specifically to understand it, it is difficult to access this information.

In 2008, many Americans thought that mainland residents generally lived in thatched huts, lit candles, and couldn't fill their stomachs all day long.

As for the underworld coins and so on, it is a particularly unpopular knowledge...

Chief Machado was about to speak when he was interrupted by Suri's cell phone ringing, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Su Rui saw her father's notes displayed on the screen.

At first, I thought I wanted to take the opportunity of having breakfast to talk to Liu Dong about financing.

However, when he answered the phone, he only heard Father Su say:

"Someone slipped a letter into my room and your mother's room. I was checking the surveillance camera in the hotel. The letter said that they had obtained evidence that our family had violated the law and asked me for one million US dollars in cash. What happened? What?"

Suri paused for a moment, then asked in Chinese: "Dad, you didn't break the law, did you?"

"Of course not. Life is so comfortable. I would go crazy to seek excitement. Where are you, son?"

"I do not have either……"

Suri looked at Sheriff Machado and gradually came to his senses.

Let Dad wait a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Suri said to Chief Machado:

"I want to report the crime. My family seems to have been blackmailed."

"blackmail!?"

"That's right, the person who reported my parents for burning their ancestors' money probably thought they were committing a crime and actually wrote a letter to extort one million yuan. Although it may not be the reporter who called you, I think he wrote Xin is most likely to be blackmailed, I’m afraid he’s just a fool, he’s using his head in the wrong place.”

After Suri briefly talked about the blackmail letter, she felt very calm.

Because my family is so rich, I am easily remembered by others and want to blackmail me at every turn. In addition to threatening letters sent by various lunatics, I can even encounter stalkers.

Previously, because he bought a private business jet, extreme environmentalists came to his family's mansion in Beverly Hills to sit in silent protest.

Suri has long developed a big heart after seeing all kinds of weird things.

Chief Machado, obviously more excited than him, ran to Suri's speedboat with a big stride and said:

"Finally, we no longer need to issue fines everywhere. Sending extortion letters is a real crime! Take me to see that letter quickly. I can't tell who the criminal is yet. I will investigate and find out the results as soon as possible..."

————————

It was a very busy day.

Thanks to Chief Machado for launching the investigation with great fanfare.

The person who was hiding behind the letter knew that Suri's parents didn't want to pay the one million dollars.

So I got smart and sold the secretly filmed videos and photos of burning Hades coins to Fox News, a subsidiary of Fox Entertainment Group.

The next morning.

After the news was exposed, the Internet exploded.

Various conspiracy theories emerged one after another. Some people held the idea of ​​hating the rich and speculated that Suri's parents were laundering money. Others said that the money came from dirty sources and therefore had to be disposed of.

Suri saw the video online. At first glance, it looked like he was throwing piles of dollar bills into a brazier.

After Fox News compiled a story based on pictures, the whole thing seemed evil.

In order not to be targeted by conspiracy theorists and affect the reputation of his family.

Su Rui immediately shot a video, found a ghost coin that was similar in style to a U.S. dollar bill, and explained its specific usage.

They also asked people to find clips of burning paper money in movies and TV dramas and edit them in as evidence to prove that the practice of burning ghost coins has a long history in Chinese customs, and it is just out of respect for the ancestors.

The entire clarification video is well-founded, and at the end, it is proposed that Fox News will be sued for fabricating false news without detailed investigation.

The clarification video was quickly posted on Youtube. It was clear and well-founded, and the news was suppressed before it could even take off.

Then the whole thing started to develop in a strange direction.

The topic about "ancestor money" quickly became popular, reaching the top of Facebook's trending topics in just half a day.

Many young people feel that its existence is reasonable and that they can gain blessings from their ancestors. They began to follow the trend and try to burn paper money, and the number of related videos increased sharply.

Su Ruijian's clarification video unexpectedly became popular, so he struck while the iron was hot and promoted an allusion about the Chinese God of Wealth, saying that he specializes in blessing people to make money.

Compared with ancestor money, there are obviously more people who like the God of Wealth, and the popularity remains high.

Even many celebrities joined in the fun and went to Chinatown to buy a portrait of the God of Wealth and hang it at home, saying it had mysterious oriental power...
