"Wife, there is a guest at home, get some delicious Professor Liubaton to try the good ones at our place in the evening, and eat the authentic old capital flavors. At noon, where to eat a cheap buffet in Dabentou, that is not the taste of the old capital. ”

Lao Wang shouted loudly in the courtyard, and the neighbors in the small courtyard noticed that Lao Wang had brought two foreign friends to the courtyard today. Although foreigners are very common in China nowadays, especially in the capital, where foreigners are crowded.

Not enough foreigners generally go to Houhai, Shichahai, Sanlitun and other places more, this kind of miscellaneous courtyard has foreigners or relatively fresh. Especially listening to Lao Wang's shouting, this foreigner is still a university professor?

The people in the small courtyard gathered around Lao Wang to ask questions, curiously discussing the origin of this foreign professor.

They were watching Barton, and Master Barton was actually watching them and them.

As Qin Kuairen introduced, this is indeed a place where low-income people live in the capital region. Cramped and cramped, the room is small. It is also common for a family of four to live in a 30-square-meter room.

Bicycles and electric vehicles are placed at the intersection, which are the main means of transportation for the residents living here. Other than that, Barton didn't see a very desolate picture.

It's not the same as the mage world, whether it's Barton or von Meier. None of them are mages who are high up in the world of cannibalism.

In fact, the five legendary mages and the disciples of the legendary mages are very focused on experiencing the suffering of the people. For them, a mage with supernatural powers is both a right and an obligation. Only by taking on the obligation can you grasp the power, this is what the legendary mages teach their disciples.

It's not that Mage Patton hasn't seen the standard of living of civilians in the Immortal City and other cities. There are many civilians in the Immortal City, who eat multigrain bread for three meals a day, and can only eat some beans or potatoes and cauliflower for each meal as a dish with bread. Occasionally, I might go to the fish market and buy some salted fish and cook it.

Those families also lived in low, dilapidated houses, even more dilapidated than here. At the same time, there is almost no furniture in the house.

And today he is carefully observing Lao Wang's house, where the twenty-square-meter room where his son and daughter-in-law live is divided into two rooms in front and back with a large wardrobe.

The first 10 square meters are used as a living room and dining room, where the family usually eats, and the 10 square meters behind the large wardrobe is the room where the son and daughter-in-law sleep.

The room is indeed very cramped, yes, not decorated, and even cluttered. But Barton also noticed that the people who live here are low-income people. But they don't have a lot of stuff at home.

There are many televisions that can play pictures, sturdy tables, chairs, beds, thick quilts and clothes. The aroma of food wafted from the small courtyard, and the smell of meat dishes could be clearly smelled.

This is not common in the mage world, and most civilians are unlikely to eat fresh meat, and meat dishes are only available during festivals.

And he asked Qin Kuairen, today is not any festival in this country.

Master Barton plunged headlong into the kitchen where he smelled the smell of food, and the sudden appearance of the old foreign man startled the housewives who were cooking.

Master Barton didn't care, he was looking at what kind of dinner the men were preparing.

One is boiling fish, and the other is stewing meat, and the aroma of the food wafts out to make people appetizing. Master Barton also lifted the lid and looked at it.

"Oh, what are you doing!" the cooking aunt was not happy.

Lao Wang hurriedly walked in and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This is Professor Patton of a foreign university, just to see the life of our old capital. I'm sorry. ”

"Lao Wang, do you usually eat these?" Master Barton raised his own questions.

Lao Wang nodded: "Of course, this is some ordinary food." Come on, come on, professor, come and sit in the house. ”520

Lao Wang let Master Barton sit down in the house, and many neighbors came to Lao Wang's house to visit the foreign professor. The main thing, of course, is to join in the fun.

"Is this an old foreign professor?"

"What is this old professor doing at your house? ”

"Do you understand people speaking foreign languages?"

"Wait, Wang. I asked my son to come, he learned English well in high school, but he needs to practice his spoken English, and you can ask the old professor to talk to him later. ”

There are all kinds of neighbors in the compound, and sometimes the enthusiasm is excessive. Especially the mother who wanted her son to practice spoken English with Master Barton, Qin Kuairen hurriedly stopped him.

"Well, Professor Barton's native language is not English. It is a minor language in Central Asia. Qin Kuairen said this, which can be regarded as dispelling the mother's plan to let her son practice speaking.

Master Barton was watched, but he was not annoyed, and even found it amusing. There is really a big gap between the civilians of this world and the civilians of their own world.

According to reason, Qin Kuairen's identity {university professor} made up for himself can be regarded as a person with a lot of status. If in the mage world, if this kind of person with status is with a civilian, the commoner will become extremely restrained and nervous. even said that they would choose to flee directly and not come into contact with these high-class people.

But not in this world, these people not only have no inhibitions and nervousness, but they can't wait to communicate with themselves. It seems that they don't have that much distinction between status classes?

At the same time, the civilians of this world, although they seem poor, live in a very ordinary place. But the food I ate didn't feel bad at all. This is evident from the meals they are busy with in the kitchen.

This was chosen by himself, and Barton believed that it could not be specially arranged by Fu Changqing. If this kind of food is available to the common people here, then the abundance of the country is truly astounding.

This shock was magnified to the fullest by the afternoon of exchanges between Barton and the residents of the compound, and finally by dinnertime.

Maybe it's because he wants to earn face for the people of the old capital, or maybe it's because the neighbors haven't gotten together for a long time. Lao Wang discussed with a few neighbors for a while, and simply held a dinner party for six families tonight. Each family pays 100 yuan for a hearty meal.

What kind of food can I buy if I cook for 600 yuan?

A pound of pork belly is made into tamales for 27 yuan. A pound of pork belly is made into braised pork for 27 yuan. A pound of pork belly is made into plum vegetables and deducted meat for 33 yuan (counting plum vegetables).

A large carp is braised for 30 yuan (five catties). Two sea bass steamed for 40 yuan. A braised hoof is 60 yuan (two and a half catties), and a sweet and sour pork rib is 40 yuan (about one and a half catties). Thirty yuan for one pot of meat. A serving of pig's trotters stewed soybeans (three catties of pig's trotters and one catty of soybeans) is eighty yuan......

Six hundred yuan can make twenty or thirty dishes, and more than half of them are hard dishes. Master Barton was amazed.

He had to ask Lao Wang in a low voice: "Is this...... Wouldn't it be too much of a waste of money?"

Lao Wang waved his hand indifferently and smiled: "Hey, what is not a cost, just a little money for each family, not much." It's time for everyone to get together, and it's time for all of us to have a meal. It's time for you to come. ”

After Master Barton heard this sentence clearly through Qin Kuairen's translation, he could only sigh at the wealth of this world. Even the dinner party of Shengdou Xiaomin can be eaten so well, although the dishes are not very exquisite, but there is a lot of meat!

Compared to Master Barton's composure, Von Meier was speechless in shock, and he could only keep whispering: "It's too rich, this world is too rich." That's the only way to have a birthday dinner for the first Viscount!

Qin Kuairen listened beside him, and thought about his days in the mage world again, it seemed that this was really the case. I don't know if it's because my world is too good, or if the mage world is too miserable. Even the nobles usually eat less than the commoners of this world.
