The waiter said: "Then what, you order 'tiger skin green pepper', I still have to get you a tiger skin first, right, if you order another husband and wife lung slice, okay, I still have to kill two people first?" ”

"That...... No need, tigers are wild animals that need to be protected, and it is even more impossible to kill people, and in order to have a meal, you have to go to jail, which is not compatible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The foreigner pouted and thought, "This Chinese dish is really weird, there is no fish and it is still called fish-flavored shredded pork, which is obviously deceiving us foreigners." ”

"Sir, are you okay? If not, I'm going to work on something else. ”

"You can go." The gringo said with an unhappy expression.

The waiter rolled his eyes and left, saying to himself: "How did you meet such an idiot foreigner." ”

Qing Xuan turned his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that he doesn't know much about Chinese culture, especially Chinese food culture." Chinese food pays attention to a full range of colors, flavors, and flavors, especially the name of the dish, which must be good-sounding, exquisite, and make people think about it. ”

"Do you still remember that there is a scene in the sketch "Part-time Job" performed by Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin, Zhao Lirong reported a dish called 'Gathering of Heroes', what does the name of this dish have to do with the dish itself, the first thing you think of when you see the name is the scene where many people stand in several rows wearing armor and then hunt with flags, but can you think of what this dish will look like?"

"As soon as the dish is served, you realize that it is a large plate of radish. You may be fooled, but that's what Chinese culture is all about. There is a huge difference between the name of the dish and the dish itself. If a foreigner orders this dish, it is estimated that he will be so angry that he will bleed. ”

"Yes, how many can there be like the mountains, Chinese culture is broad and profound, if you want to understand Chinese culture, then you have to take the time to study every day, not ten or eight years, can you study thoroughly?"

"The kind of people you are talking about are particularly interested in Chinese culture, and ordinary people will not spend so much time studying Chinese culture." Qing Xuan pursed his lips to show disdain.

"CUT," JIKE ROLLED HIS EYES.

The two of them finished their meal and got up and left the restaurant. AFTER WALKING AROUND THE HOTEL, IT WAS STILL EARLY IN THE SKY, AND JIKE SAID, "YOUNG MASTER, WHY DON'T I TAKE YOU TO SEE THE LANDMARK BUILDINGS OF MACAU?" ”

"Do you mean the Ruins of Dashanba?" Qing Xuan asked.

"Yes, it's not far from here, it's more than a ten-minute walk."

"Uh......" Qing Xuan thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, there's nothing to do right now anyway." ”

The two of them walked around from Camp Street to Baibao Building, and then around St. Rose Secondary School, and arrived at St. Paul's. Although it is approaching evening, there is still a steady stream of tourists who hold their cameras to take pictures in front of the Ruins of Dasanna, and then go through the arch in the middle of the torii to the back of it to explore the secrets, but disappointingly, the back of it is empty, this once glorious Gothic church, after three baptisms of fire, now only such a façade remains.

QINGXUAN STOOD IN FRONT OF THIS MAGNIFICENT BUILDING, STARING UP FOR A LONG TIME, JIKE STOOD NEXT TO HIM AND CHATTERED: "DO YOU SAY GOD OR NOT, THIS CHURCH HAS BEEN HIT BY FIRE SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BUILT, AND IT HAS BEEN BURNED AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND THIS FRONT WALL HAS NOT BEEN BURNED TO ASHES BY THE FIRE." ”

"yes, it's a miracle in the history of architecture. Although we can only see the front wall of the church now, we can imagine the pomp and circumstance of the church at that time: thousands of devout Christians come here every day, the sound of Bible readings and hymns coming from the church, nuns wearing black veils with only two eyes walking back and forth in the church, and tall priests baptizing newborn babies in the church......"

"I heard that this church was the largest Catholic church in the East at that time, and it was called the 'Vatican of the East'...... What's the name? JIKE COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE CHURCH FOR A MOMENT, SO HE SCRATCHED THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.

"It's called St. Paul's Church. Because the pronunciation of the Portuguese word 'St. Paul' is close to the local dialect of 'Samba', it is also called St. Paul's Church. After two fires, the church was rebuilt again in 1602, and it took 35 years to announce its completion, but in 1835 a fire burned the church to ashes again, leaving only the front wall that cost 30,000 taels of silver, which is today's Ruins of St. Paul's. ”

"Maybe God is cursing the Portuguese too."

"yes. Do you know where opium came from in China? QINGXUAN TURNED HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT JIKE.

"It won't be from Macau." Hearing Qing Xuan ask this, he felt that opium must be related to Macao.

"You're right, in the beginning, opium was imported into China by the Portuguese from the port of St. Paul's. The Portuguese not only resold opium to China, but also sold Chinese laborers along with many foreigners. Not far from here there is a Kaotang Street, also known as 'Piggy Street', and in those days, there were more than 300 labor sales halls along the street. A large number of Chinese laborers were trafficked around the world, and some laborers died halfway through the journey before they could reach abroad. Therefore, this Ruins of St. Paul's is definitely a witness to the history of blood and tears in Macau. ”

HEY, JIKE SIGHED AND SAID, "THE PORTUGUESE ARE REALLY NOT A THING, IF I WERE THE GOVERNOR OF MACAU AT THAT TIME, I WOULD DEFINITELY DRIVE THEM OUT OF CHINA." ”

Qing Xuan turned his head sideways and looked at JIKE, and said disdainfully: "It's just you, cut, the number of people to help is about the same, this is a major event that overthrows history, you, forget it." ”

"Look at me, no, we are also people with democracy and righteousness, and people can sell cigarettes in Humen, what am I missing." JIKE looked like he wouldn't admit defeat.

"You see that Lin Zexu Humen sells cigarettes, and you also want to come to Macau to sell cigarettes?"

"Well, I'm going to travel back in time and sell cigarettes in Macau. When the time comes, a historical masterpiece 'JIKE Macau Sells Tobacco' will be no less momentum than Lin Zexu and his old man. Hahaha......"

"Alright, let's go through it now." Qing Xuan said, walking up the 68 stone steps in front of the hall.

JIKE just said nonsense, he wanted to attract Qing Xuan's scolding, but he didn't expect his nonsense to be responded to, he was stunned, and seeing that Qing Xuan had already walked under the stone plaque, he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Wait for me, young master." ”

The sun sings at night, and the huge stone plaque is half immersed in the sunlight, and half is hidden in the shadows, as if singing the ancient poem, as if whispering about the past......

Behind the stone plaque is the vast sky and the flat earth.
