225 Captain's Dinner Invitation
Tianjin hemp flower is a selection of high-quality wheat flour, stirred with osmanthus brine, rock sugar, twisted into a twist shape, made of peanut frying, ruddy color, sweet and crisp taste, can be preserved for several months without being bad, is a kind of food necessary for Tianjin people to travel at home, visit relatives and friends, and Tianjin Goubuli buns, Tianjin fried cake together, and called "Tianjin Gate Three Uniques".
Such a tall, whitening and sweet food, there is only one drawback, the price is too low, one copper plate, if there are five copper plates, the hawkers are willing to "spare" you one more.
The crew held ten copper plates in one hand and two fat twists in the other, and bent down to salute:
"What else do you have to tell the gentlemen?"
Can't afford to give a reward, there are too many orders, the students hurriedly waved their hands and asked the crew to go out to reads();. The crew put the brass plate in his pocket, and with one free hand, pointed to a piece of wire and rope in the doorway, and said:
"Gentlemen, if you have something, just pull the bell!"
The students sent the crew out and inspected the bedding, washstands, brass basins, pancreas for washing faces, and snow-white face towels in all directions. I want to wash my hands and face.
"No water!"
One student said.
"Don't pull the bell, you have to give a reward."
Another student hastened to say.
"Manly man, what's the matter if you don't wash your face for a few days!"
Several students looked at each other, agreed with this statement, and quickly assigned the bunks, because it was summer, they didn't bring much salute, unwrapped the package, took out all the Tianjin hemp flowers, and took out a few enamel jars, ready to add meals.
"No water!"
One student said.
"Don't pull the bell, you have to give a reward."
Another student hastened to say.
"Manly man, what's the matter if you don't drink water for a few days!"
Several students look at each other. I don't quite agree with this point of view. The person who mentioned yƬ pondered for a second, then changed his words and said:
"Manly man, what's the matter if you don't drink water for half a day!" Several students looked at each other and felt that they had suffered hardship, so they all sat cross-legged on their bunks and began to nibble on marijuana flowers.
Finished nibbling on the marijuana flower. My throat is a little dry. No one spoke. Everyone has different hobbies, some people like to raise flowers, and some people like to raise kittens and dogs. These students are all talents, and the talents closed their eyes and began to close their eyes and recuperate!
At noon, a crew member came and knocked on the door:
"A couple of gentlemen. The lunch in the second class was ready, and a few of them were used in the restaurant. Or did I send it to you? ā
Several students hurriedly patted their bellies:
"I won't eat at noon, we're in a panic!"
The crew opened their mouths in surprise and looked at them one by one with sincere eyes. This kind of look is so familiar, and several students have not yet practiced their cheeks. I had to give the crew a reward of ten copper plates.
The crew bent down in thanks, looked up, and continued to look at them with sincere eyes. I want to say it and stop talking. The students who took the lead know the traditional Chinese habits best, and they are gentle and frugal. So two more Tianjin cannabis flowers were added to the crew.
The crew members who were full of hands were sent out, and a few students lay back on their bunks to recuperate, and this god was raised until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and several students really couldn't bear it, and their mouths were dry. Go out together to find water.
The sky and the sea are one color blue, and the waterfowl and clouds are one color white. The sea breeze is moist and soft on the face. Several of them were in green cloth school clothes, wearing woolen caps of the same color. Clean and neat, young and lively, but thirsty and eager to fill the seawater.
"The sea water is undrinkable, salty, astringent and bitter."
Following a few down-and-out passengers who lived on deck, they quickly found a free boiling water room, filled an enamel jar with water, and drank a hearty reads();.
The ship's attendants knocked on the door again, carrying a large copper kettle with a long mouth, and filling their washbasin with water. I had to give a reward. Another person came to invite him to dinner, but he politely refused and offered a reward. After a while, someone came to bring the footbath, and I had to give a reward. When the last wave of night pots came, several people slept under the quilt.
It only lasted for one day, and the twist was gone, and the copper plate was also gone.
"As long as I get to Shanghai and find my fellow countryman Guo Xiaozhuang, it's all right."
The leader encouraged everyone, and passed the safe envelope to each other, which boosted the fighting spirit.
There was a knock on the door of the steamer, and a classmate opened the door with a crying face, and he made up his mind that he could no longer give the reward, not because he was thick-skinned, but because his pockets were completely empty.
It can be seen that if you are poor and have a generous local tyrant friend, it is not very convenient to invite you to eat and live for nothing, because there are always places that the local tyrants can't pay attention to. The local tyrants are easy to deal with, and the servants of the local tyrants are difficult.
The crew of the ship came in, bent down respectfully, and sent them an invitation:
"Captain's dinner, please come a few gentlemen!"
The captain's dinner is a traditional rule on European and American cruise ships, and it is a very important social occasion for the middle and upper classes of European and American society. Because of the strict social class background, there are also requirements for clothing. Men, wear a tuxedo, which is a costume that is as long as a swallow's tail and covers the buttocks.
Although several college students have not participated, they know the heavens without going out, they read books and newspapers, and they also have an understanding of Western etiquette. The leading student hurriedly waved his hand:
"We didn't participate, we were in a hurry when we got on the boat, and we didn't prepare the dress!"
The crew of European and American cruise ships earn money according to the rules of Europe and the United States, and the ships pay half of their salaries, and the other half of their salaries depend on the tips of the passengers.
Therefore, the attitude of the crew is very attentive, and even small things such as ordering meals are privately assigned by them, in order to earn rewards and tips.
The courteous crew bent down and saluted, and introduced in great detail:
"It doesn't matter, when driving and taking a boat, it is inevitable that there will be inconvenient times, there is a special cloakroom on the ship, and you can rent dresses. New clothes are also available, and if they can be eye-catching for a few gentlemen, they can also be purchased. ā
One student asked hesitantly:
"If this ship is so rich, why are the poor allowed to sit on deck?"
The poor are often afraid of being bullied by the rich and noble, and the rich and noble are often afraid of being burned and robbed by the poor.
The crew said:
"This ship is an asset belonging to the church, so it will take some poor brothers and sisters along the way, it is a charitable cause, and if a few gentlemen want to raise donations for them, they can directly contact the pastor on the ship."
The business operated by this foreign ship is really complete enough, and if you are poor, you will be good at it, and if you are good, you will be able to help the sky. A few ambitious students had only reached the first stage so far, so they quickly waved their hands, interrupting the crew's continued presentation on how to help the poor passengers.
