Because there were still some legal matters to deal with, when she returned to the hotel, Rina Tanaka did not pester Liu Wei anymore.

Mobei Wolf and Grayback Jackal stayed in the hotel all morning, one watching TV and the other playing Rubik's Cube. It's not an ordinary third-order Rubik's Cube, but a special twelve-order Rubik's Cube.

This is very common in K1, and any K1 member will be able to restore the 4th Order Rubik's Cube in under a minute before leaving the camp. Liu Wei's fastest speed twist record is 23 seconds, and the fastest record of blind twisting is 2 minutes and 14 seconds. However, he was playing a fourth-order Rubik's cube, not the kind of perverted thing in the hands of the gray-backed jackal.

"How's it going?" The gray-backed jackal didn't even look at Liu Wei, and it seemed that his attention was still focused on the Rubik's Cube.

"Eiichi Iwasaki? It's so good that I can't die. Liu Wei got a cup of green tea and sat down on the sofa opposite the gray-backed jackal, "Shintaro Iwasaki didn't lie. ”

"What about the agreement?" The gray-backed jackal asked again.

"Don't get your hopes up too much, at least for now, it seems that Eiichi Iwasaki has no intention of delivering on his promise."

"Extraneous branches?" Mobei Wolf turned his head and glanced at Liu Wei.

The guy sat on the floor, leaning against the couch, with a dozen cigarette butts and two empty wine bottles thrown next to him. When it's okay, Mobei Wolf is very decadent, and he can't see the appearance of a K1 member.

"Almost, Eiichi Iwasaki won't let us go."

"Don't worry, there's someone with me nearby." The gray-backed jackal paused slightly, his two big hands spun rapidly, and the twelfth-order Rubik's Cube returned to its initial state before he continued, "We are still alive, and Iwasaki Eiichi will not give up." It's just that Shintaro Iwasaki disappeared, and it definitely had an impact on him. Because the Hashimoto family and the Ogata family will repay part of the loan within a month, Iwasaki Eiichi will not take action in the short term. When the Hashimoto family and the Ogata family repay the loan, he has no choice, and then he jumps off the wall in a hurry. ”

"How much time did it take?" The Mobei wolf looked at the gray-backed jackal.

The gray-backed jackal glanced at his watch and said, "It's really old, it's about half an hour, and it used to be only twenty-five minutes." ”

"Eiichi Iwasaki has one more choice." Liu Wei smiled, he didn't expect the two big men to like to play Rubik's Cube. "If we can't get rid of us, Eiichi Iwasaki can only compensate according to the agreement. Although this is the last option, Iwasaki Eiichi will not be on the spot to sharpen the gun, and he must be prepared. ”

"It's almost impossible to get this money from within the consortium, and Eiichi Iwasaki can't afford to lose this face."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "So Iwasaki Eiichi can only get this fund from the outside world." ”

"The Yasuda family?" The gray-backed jackal frowned and glanced at the Mobei wolf who was leaning sideways.

"Wait, we have time anyway." Liu Wei also glanced at Mobei Wolf, "The sudden disappearance of Shintaro Iwasaki has already affected the Iwasaki family. It won't be long before someone can't sit still. It's useless to say this now, it's not early, what do you want to eat at noon? ”

"Do you want to eat Chinese food?"

"Chinese food!?" Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf were interested.

"There are a few very authentic Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, and the chefs are all invited from the mainland, and the main seasonings are also from the mainland, and the taste is very good."

"Then what else do you say, let's go." The Mobei wolf rolled over and stood up, moving very quickly.

"There aren't many Chinese restaurants in Ben, right?" Liu Wei is also very positive, and he hasn't eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time.

"It's not much, but Nagasaki is an exception."

After leaving the hotel, the gray-backed jackal personally drove and took Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf to Chinatown.

Because Kotone Takeuchi did not recover from the blow of Mizuho Akanishi's tragic death and hid in the room alone, Liu Wei didn't bother her, but just told the hotel manager to wait for a package to be delivered.

Liu Wei can understand Takeuchi's grief at this time, because just a year ago, he had a similar experience.

Only when Kotone Takeuchi figures it out for himself can he get out of the shadow of his bereavement. If she can't figure it out, it's useless for others to persuade her.

Along the way, the gray-backed jackal gave a brief introduction to the situation of the Chinese.

As early as the Shogunate period, Nagasaki was the only commercial port open to the outside world. Before the Meiji Restoration, there were tens of thousands of Chinese in Nagasaki, most of whom were merchants. Although the size of the Chinese community did not expand in the following decades, most of the Chinese lived in the Kyushu area.

After World War II, the size of the Chinese community shrank dramatically, and the main post-war Chinese were in ruins, and many Chinese left the city. Some returned to their hometowns, while others went to the United States and Canada across the ocean. It was not until the 70s of the last century that the size of the Chinese community recovered.

Although since the end of the last century, a large number of Chinese have been concentrated in Kanto, Hanshin, and Nagoya, but Nagasaki is still one of the main places where Chinese people live. According to the statistics of the authorities, the size of the Chinese community in Nagasaki has increased to 150,000.

These people form a unique social group.

"Unlike the Chinese community in other regions, the Chinese community pays more attention to traditional culture." The gray-backed jackal must have done a detailed investigation. "This is not surprising, in terms of traditional culture, there are many similarities between the book and ours, such as both advocating Confucianism, having a strict social hierarchy, and so on. The difference is that he is more united, especially on major issues related to the country and the nation, and his voice is highly unanimous. We must admit that this is what we lack, and what we must learn from this book. ”

"Island culture, what's there to learn?" Mobei Wolf looked unimpressed.

"Don't forget, Britain is also an island country, but the Immortal Empire is the first global hegemon in history, and it has never been defeated for more than two hundred years." The gray-backed jackal smiled and said, "You must say that this is different from the United Kingdom, which is a continental culture, not an island culture. But you have to admit that my sense of crisis is exactly what we lack. Without a sense of serious crisis, it is impossible for a nation to survive in a jungle-like world, let alone develop and grow. If we want to go further, we have to learn from the book. ”

Mobei Wolf rolled his eyes, but did not continue to argue.

"According to you, the Chinese in Ben are more united?" Liu Wei pulled the topic back.

The gray-backed jackal nodded and said, "After the war, there was a period of anti-Chinese period. Although this momentum weakened somewhat after the normalization of diplomatic relations in the 70s of the last century, at the beginning of this century, especially in the past few years, the anti-Chinese forces in this country have risen again. If the Chinese are not united, they will still be scattered, and they will have assimilated their own culture long ago. Of course, solidarity is only for those Chinese groups that are influenced by traditional ideas. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is, those Chinese families who have lived and multiplied in this book for more than 100 years."

"There is still a Chinese family?" Mobei Wolf frowned.

"Of course, there are more than ten big families here in Nagasaki, but there are only a few famous ones." The gray-backed jackal smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the survival and adaptability of the Chinese, even in the most remote corners, they can take root." ”

"Which families?"

"There are four I know better, one is the Zheng family from Taiwan, the second is the Fujian Long family, the third is the Guangdong Cai family, and the fourth is the Sichuan Tang family." The gray-backed jackal thought for a while, and then said, "The Zheng family has the longest history, and it is rumored that after the 'national surname is the master', the ancestor is Zheng Kuan, and the Qing soldiers fled to Yuben after entering Taiwan and lived in seclusion in Nagasaki. After the Meiji Restoration, Zheng Kuan's seventh-generation grandson, Zheng Siming, founded the current Zheng family. Because half of the Chinese in Nagasaki fled in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Zheng family had a very high status among the Chinese and had a great influence. ”

"It turned out to be a descendant of Zheng Chenggong."

"It's all rumors, and no one can say whether it's or not." The gray-backed jackal smiled and said, "The Long family immigrated to Yuben before the First Sino-Japanese War, and they have been maritime merchants for generations. It's just that the development has not been smooth, especially after the formation of the Yu Ben Foundation, the status of the Long family has been greatly reduced, and it has not become active until the last twenty years. Like the Zheng family, the rumors of the Long family tracing back to the ancient times cannot stand scrutiny. ”

"The other two are similar, right?" Mobei Wolf asked.

"The history of the Cai family is relatively short, and I heard that it has something to do with Cai Ye in the Beiyang period, but it is not so explicit. Compared with the other three families, the Cai family is the most low-key and has a small industrial scale. The Tang family is an emerging force, relatively scattered, first appeared during World War II, and after the war, it absorbed a group of Chinese workers who were unwilling to be repatriated. Relatively speaking, the Tang family is more like an underground society, not a family force in the traditional sense. It's just that the Tang family attaches more importance to traditional culture. This is very similar to those associations in Hong Kong and Tainan. ”

"Hello Second Master?"

The grayback jackal smiled, indicating that this was what it meant.

"Looks like it's a mix of fish and dragons here." Liu Wei also laughed.

"None of this has anything to do with us, and if it's okay, we don't have to provoke them." The gray-backed jackal glanced at Liu Wei, "Although the scale of the Nagasaki Chinese community is not small, in the mainstream society, the status of the Chinese is very low, and the living space is very limited. What happened some time ago has made the authorities pay more attention to foreigners. There is no need, we should not contact the Chinese community, lest we set ourselves on fire. ”

Liu Wei nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of the gray-backed jackal, and said, "Where are we going now?" ”

"Right ahead, authentic Sichuan restaurant." The gray-backed jackal smiled and said, "You're from Sichuan, right?" ”

"It used to be, and now it belongs to Yucheng, but I haven't been back for more than ten years."

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"Of course, K1 doesn't have a tradition of picky eating."

In wilderness survival training, don't talk about picky eaters, it's good to have to eat. Besides, the diet is mainly light and has almost no spicy ingredients. When he came, Liu Wei still felt fresh, but after staying for a long time, the birds faded out of his mouth, and he had long wanted to change his appetite.

It is also a pleasure to be able to eat an authentic Chinese meal in this book.

You must know that both Chinese cuisine and Chinese cuisine belong to Oriental cuisine, and they are similar to Chinese food in many ways, so there are not many Chinese restaurants in this restaurant, and they are not as popular as in Western Europe and North America.
