Chapter 206 What nationality is Ford?
For a foreigner who can speak fluent Chinese, it is unthinkable for Chinese in this era, especially farmers who rarely have the opportunity to meet foreigners in modern times.
Even if a foreigner can speak a little Chinese, it will either be stumbling or a mouthful of foreign flavor. You don't need to look at people, you can tell that this is a foreigner as soon as you hear the voice.
But this person, this authentic Mandarin is much more standard than himself! I've been learning this English in night school, but now I've been studying for more than half a year, and I can only barely say a few words.
From this he knew how difficult it was to learn this foreign language! But seeing this big man today can speak fluent Mandarin that he envies, does this explain the situation?
seemed to be very excited that Zhao Qiang in front of him was surprised that he could speak fluent Mandarin, he winked at Zhao Qiang and said jokingly: "How is it, my Chinese is good, right?" β
Faced with this scene, Zhao Qiang was speechless. He stretched out his hands and gave two thumbs up, which was the only way to express his admiration for the foreigner.
In this way, Lao Mei was even more excited, and proudly told Zhao Qiang: "My Chinese is learned from my Chinese teacher, and he is an authentic old Beijinger!" β
"It's done, it's done, you've shown off with eight people along the way! Is there any end to it? β
Wang Hai's words made Zhao Qiang stunned, it seems that Wang Hai has a good relationship with this foreign bigwig! Otherwise, this sentence would be a bit impolite!
"No, king, it's six! There are your mayor, the secretary, and your driver, the director, plus you and the village chief, a total of six people. I can't be mistaken, definitely not eight people! β
Looking at Lao Mei with a solemn face, Wang Hai smiled bitterly. This is a half-bottle swaying master who understands Chinese culture! Didn't you even hear what you were saying in an exaggerated tone?
"What are you talking about, King Myster?"
Another foreigner sitting opposite Wang Hai spoke, and Zhao Qiang heard it when he opened his mouth, this person spoke English! I've learned it myself, and I'll do it too!
"Waiou Kamu Oiling Wangjiazhuang! Buy the insider has always been Zhao Qiang! β
"Poofβ"
Zhao Qiang's mouthful of Wangjiazhuang-style English, Wang Hai laughed directly when he heard it. What are you stinky about at this time? Can people understand your accent?
Not to mention, the foreigner on the other side really understood this self-introduction. With a very comfortable smile, he took the initiative to reach out to shake hands with Zhao Qiang.
"Please call me Foote!"
"Foote?"
"It's Ford! Happiness is blessed, special special! β
Wang Hai then corrected Zhao Qiang, and his background was not much worse than Lao Mei! If only Lao Mei came over this time, I'm afraid there would not be such a big move!
"Ford! Remember, is it blessed? The name is good, get it good! β
"Hahahaha......"
Wang Hai and Lao Mei, who understood the meaning of this sentence, couldn't help laughing, which suddenly made Zhao Qianghe stunned Ford, who didn't understand what this sentence meant!
"Fack! I want to learn Chinese! I must learn to speak Chinese! β
It was this Chinese sentence with an exotic accent that made Wang Hai and Lao Mei laugh even more happily. The performance of the two of them made Zhao Qiang subconsciously touch the back of his head. Am I wrong? What are they laughing at?
"Zhao, take this!"
Ford pulled out a headset from the edge of his seat and put it on his ear, and at the same time gestured to Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang looked down and saw that there was really a headset on the edge of his seat! He picked it up as soon as he reached out. After looking at it carefully, he put it on his ears with a puzzled face.
What is this for? Let me listen to the song? Or listen to the radio? As soon as he thought of this, he heard Ford mutter a long paragraph, and he was dizzy and didn't understand a word.
Just when he was puzzled. Suddenly, I heard a beautiful girl's voice coming from the headphones.
"Zhao, what did you just say? Why do they laugh all the time? β
"Ahh Ghostβ"
Zhao Qiang, who was startled, said this and immediately realized it. It's the voice of a translator! But where's the translation? Don't you see anyone else?
Thinking of this, he repeated what he had just said, and then looked around to find the translator who was hiding in the shadows.
"No, Ford isn't my name, that's my last name!"
The beautiful girl's voice came to his ears again, Zhao Qiang couldn't help it now, he almost wanted to stand up, and personally rummaged over the car, where the girl was hiding.
"Don't be ashamed! That's simultaneous translation. They're all in the car in the back! What are you looking for here? β
"What? The interpreter is in another car, how can he hear us? β
Without waiting for Wang Hai to explain to him, Ford muttered a long paragraph again, and Zhao Qiang, who had experience, did not panic, but patiently waited for the voice in the headphones.
"Zhao, this is through a kind of radio wave, just like a telephone, to transmit our voice to the car behind, where is the translation, and then to your headphones, a very simple little thing!"
Then, until he arrived in the village, Zhao Qiang was always very curious about this headset for simultaneous translation. I was so happy to chat with Ford, Wang Hai was a little stunned!
Don't you see? Can the second child say that? Could it be that he has practiced it as a village chief? Look, it's the right one to call him in the car. Don't just talk to Lao Mei by yourself, it's not good to snub and snub others.
Ay! I can't blame me either, who made himself have nothing to talk to him? Of course, this is also because I just met him and am not familiar with him yet. Well, with Zhao Qiang, the head of Wangjiazhuang, accompanying him, it is not a disadvantage to him.
"Ford, are you British or American?"
Zhao Qiang asked violently, and at this time, even the translator was stunned, and it took several seconds to react and translate his words to Ford.
Ford Meng was also stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Anyone who knows a little about the world should know what the name Ford represents, but when he thinks that this is China, and the Chinese countryside is still very closed and backward, he understands it.
"I'm an American, Emai Riken!"
"This doesn't need to be translated! I know, Ford he is an American! β
Before the translator could speak, Zhao Qiang hurriedly said. It's not easy, it's not easy to come across a foreign language that I understand, and I'm sorry for the half year I spent if I don't show it.
"Hahahaha......"
Zhao Qiang's words caused a burst of happy laughter, except for him, the other three people present were all looking at him with strange eyes, and he was a little embarrassed.
"What do you see? What's wrong with me? Zhao Qiang looked himself up and down, he didn't tie the wrong buttons, and the zippers of his pants were also pulled? What are you laughing at?
"Hehe, hehe, I said the second child, don't be funny, okay? Haven't you wanted to buy a car lately? Do you remember anything when I say that? β
"Buying a car? yes, isn't it more convenient to have your own car? Besides, we're not bad for money! Not to mention more, two or three hundred thousand can still be taken out! However, I think Biaozi's Jetta is very good, and I plan to buy that car! β
This time, as soon as Zhao Qiang's voice fell, Ford immediately said: "Jetta? No, no, that car doesn't match your identity at all, you should choose a better car! β
"What identity is not identity, I am a farmer, five years ago, if anyone told me that I could have my own car in the future, I would definitely slap him with big ears! Isn't that teasing me and fooling me? β
As soon as he finished saying this, he hurriedly shouted: "Who's that, hurry up and let them stop, stop!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the convoy drove some distance further and had already entered the village. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhao Qiang didn't mean anything to explain, opened the car door and got out of the car, and went straight to a few fruit trees full of small red and white fruits on the side of the road not far away.
In a few moments, he came in with a small pile of red and white fruits in his clothes, and placed them on the small table in front of them.
"Come, come, you two guests from afar, come and taste the cherries of our Wangjiazhuang!"
"This is a cherry?"
Ford picked up a white cherry the size of a soybean and asked, "Is it so small?" Are you sure it can be eaten? β
"Hehe, this is our local cherry, and it's not the same variety as the big cherry you eat. But the taste is really good, sweet and sour, you can try it! β
Ford and Lao Mei each picked up a cherry, looked at it curiously, but didn't put it in their mouths. Zhao Qiang was in a hurry, he thought that these two people didn't dare to eat or wouldn't eat! grabbed a handful from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it, and motioned for Ford and Lao Mei to eat it too!
"Wairegud! Wai Rui Good! β
After Ford, who was the first to try, ate a cherry carefully, he immediately gave Zhao Qiang a thumbs up, and at the same time, with his other hand, he also learned to grab a handful of cherries, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them very imagelessly.
"Zhao, I love this little cherry, both varieties like it! Can you sell me a few of these cherry trees? I'm going to take them back and plant them in my yard. β
"What are you selling? How much do you want, I'll send you! Zhao Qiang patted his chest and said very boldly. How much is a few broken cherry trees worth?
But the next Ford's words made him completely drunk, and he didn't know how to deal with it!
"Thank you, Zhao, thank you for your boldness. I have to say, you have an appetite for me. But my family honor is something I can't ask for for nothing. Well, I heard from the king just now that you are going to buy a car. In this way, the convoy I brought this time will leave you one when you leave, which can be regarded as a gift for the cherry tree you gave me! β
For a while, Zhao Qiang's mind was full of lightning and thunder! (To be continued.) )
PS: It's late, everyone knows the reason, how much understanding!
