There were many customers in the state-run Goubuli bun shop, and there was a long queue in front of the counter.

Luo Bing had a smile on his face, carrying two bags of buns in his hand, like an iron man, squeezing out of the crowd.

"Xiao Li, I bought Goubuli buns!" Luo Bing handed one of the bags of buns to Li Weidong.

"How much does this bun cost?" asked Li Weidong casually.

"A bag of one dollar, eat it while it's hot, pad your stomach first, and then go back to the guest house, and I'll invite you to drink again." Luo Bing said and took out a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Weidong tossed the weight of the bag with his hand, although he didn't know how many buns there were in it, but in terms of the price of eighty-five years, this goubuli bun is still quite expensive, at least much more expensive than the peach crisp in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Weidong took out a bun and took a bite, the taste was indeed much better than that of the dog buli in later generations, and the crystal clear fat inside looked very appetizing.

In that era when there was a general shortage of oil and water in the stomachs of ordinary people, this kind of steamed bun with fat and fat was called an excellent delicacy.

"Xiao Li, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to mention the car. Luo Bing chewed the bun and said vaguely.

After seeing Li Weidong's Japanese ability, Zhou Fulai immediately asked Li Weidong to stay and work as an interpreter to receive foreign guests.

Of course, Li Weidong can't refuse, after all, he still expects people to sign and pick up the car. After Li Weidong agreed, Zhou Fulai also signed happily, and personally called Jinmen Port to arrange for the pick-up.

With Zhou Fulai's phone call, Luo Bing will inevitably be unimpeded when he goes to pick up the car.

It's just that Li Weidong has to stay in Jinmen for a few more days, at least until the foreign guests leave before he can return to Qinghe.

Last time, Li Weidong stayed at the Yellow River Factory for more than 20 days, was recorded as absenteeism, and almost had his salary deducted.

This time, Li Weidong learned to be obedient, and asked Zhou Fulai to issue an official letter, stamped with the official seal of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and then asked Luo Bing to take it back, which was considered the basis for his leave.

After all, the Foreign Trade Bureau is an organ unit, and a letter stamped with an official seal has an administrative effect, and even if it is not an order, it is also legitimate, and at least it can prevent Li Weidong from being recorded as absenteeism.

Luo Bing devoured the steamed buns, and said at the same time: "Xiao Li, I really didn't expect you to have this ability, you can speak Japanese better than that university teacher! ”

"Team Luo, you don't understand this, the language is divided into phonetic characters and ideograms. Phonetic characters are when you see the word, know how to pronounce it, but don't know what it means. And the ideogram is that you see the word and you know what it means. Just like our Chinese, it is ideograms. Li Weidong opened his mouth to explain.

It's just that in the face of Luo Bing, who is not highly educated, he didn't explain too profoundly.

"In other words, like the Japanese of a filter, that Mr. Xu can read it, but he has to look up the dictionary to know that he is talking about a filter?" Luo Bing's mind was still very flexible, and he instantly understood what Li Weidong meant.

Most of the world's languages are phonetic, and only a few languages, such as Chinese, are ideograms.

There are not too many alphabets in phonetic scripts, for example, English has only 26 letters, compared to thousands of commonly used Chinese characters.

However, Chinese has an advantage, that is, words can reach meaning, which cannot be done by phonetic characters.

For example, the word "diabetes", even a primary school student can understand the meaning of these three words. "Disease" represents a disease, and "diabetes" is a symptom, so "diabetes" is a disease with symptoms of "diabetes".

The English word diabetes is a separate word, and even if you are an Englishman with a Ph.D., as long as you don't learn this word, you won't know what diabetes is.

This is a major feature of phonetic writing, there are many professional terms, which are used by people who are engaged in this industry, and only those who are engaged in this industry will learn specifically.

The Japanese language includes kanji, which is an ideogram, and kana, which is a phonetic character. Many technical terms and foreign words in the Japanese language are written in kana. Therefore, in many professional fields, it is necessary to have someone who understands the technical terminology to be able to translate.

......

Early the next morning, Luo Bing said goodbye to Li Weidong.

"Xiao Li, we went to the customs to pick up the car, and went back directly. If you have any difficulties, go directly to the transportation company in Jinmen, find Director Liu of the freight department, and mention the name of Director Zhao at that time. Luo Bing opened his mouth and instructed.

"Director Liu of the Freight Department, I remember. Li Weidong nodded.

Luo Bing took out another handful of money and stuffed it into Li Weidong's hand: "When you go out, you can't have any money in your hand, I estimate that you will definitely not bring much money when you come out this time, you take this money first, the poor family is rich!"

"Captain Luo, I still have some money, not to mention that the Foreign Trade Bureau will arrange for me to eat and live. This time I was receiving foreign guests, and the Foreign Trade Bureau would not treat me badly. Li Weidong shirked.

"Take it, if something happens, you can also respond to emergencies, even if I borrow this money from you, you have to pay it back to me when you go back." Luo Bing forcibly stuffed the money into Li Weidong's hands.

Li Weidong's heart warmed, he put the money away, and said: "Then thank you Team Luo, I'll return the money to you when I go back." ”

Luo Bing continued: "The letter from the Foreign Trade Bureau, I will hand it over to Director Zhao when I go back, and Director Zhao will report this matter to the company's leaders, you can rest assured, the grandsons of the personnel department will definitely not dare to remember your absenteeism." ”

"Team Luo, I have to trouble you with one more thing. Li Weidong handed a paper bag tied with a rope to Luo Bing's hand, and then said: "This bag of twisted flowers, please bring it to my home for my parents, by the way, don't give it directly to my younger brother, my younger brother is not good at learning, but his mouth is very greedy, and he hasn't eaten enough!"

"Got it. Luo Bing took the twist: "There's nothing else, you go to the Foreign Trade Bureau quickly, don't make people wait!"

......

Li Weidong came to the Foreign Trade Bureau, and Zhou Fulai was indeed waiting there.

"Teacher Xiao Li, have you had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to make you a set of fruits?" Zhou Fulai asked with a courteous face.

"I've already eaten it, and it's pancakes and fruits. Li Weidong replied.

"It's okay if you're full, eat a little more at noon, and the meals for foreign guests are still very rich." Zhou Fu looked at Li Weidong for a while, and then asked, "Teacher Li, how tall are you?"

"One meter eight. Li Weidong replied.

"How big are the shoes?" Zhou Fulai asked again.

"Number 43. Li Weidong replied with a blank face. He didn't quite understand why Zhou Fulai suddenly cared about his height and shoe size.

Zhou Fulai immediately gave the answer: "Because we are receiving foreign guests, you can't do this set of overalls, you have to change into a suit and leather shoes." After a while, I'll ask people to bring a suit of 1.8 meters and a pair of 43-gauge leather shoes, you try it first. In addition, there are some diplomatic etiquette, as well as some things about the principle of secrecy, you may not know, I let Xiao Zhang in the office tell you. ”

Li Weidong was suddenly a little surprised: "This foreign trade department is generous, come to help them work, and send a suit and leather shoes." Rounding up and making another 100 million!"
