Chapter 220: Who Can't Understand Whom
Wang Tongyi didn't pay attention to Lin Hui's strange appearance beside him, and explained the matter to Lin Hui while watching Mr. Mai in the field take off his apron and clean up the knife.
It turned out that this was not the first time such a mission had come, and every three or five months there would always be a contingent from afar, more or less in number, usually led by a man like a knight or a colonel, accompanied by priests and healers.
These people are not so much coming to make friends with the two countries - in fact, they can't figure out what the other party's so-called national affiliation is, but they are here to exchange goods. The goods from abroad across the ocean are naturally scarce and expensive, and they can be exchanged for many local common fabrics and tea porcelain. Anyone who is in business knows that the long journey is hard, but there are often several times the benefits, and it is worth the trip.
And as long as the emperor has time and mood, he is still willing to meet these people and experience the refreshing feeling of Siyi coming to the court. Offering symbolic gifts can lead to great rewards.
It was only from a long distance that the food on board was inevitably stretched thin in order to carry as much cargo and essential fresh water as possible, so these people worked part-time as fishermen along the way, fishing as a supplement.
"Well," Wang Tongyi casually pointed to the direction of the wounded who had just been helped down: "Most of these people were injured by fish when they were catching fish. ”
When the fish is out of the water, it does not have the consciousness of dying obediently, and it always has to die and struggle. In particular, giant marine fish have a hard body, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched.
"I heard that there is a kind of arrowfish, which has a sharp and long mouth, and if you are stabbed, the injury is small. Losing your life is possible. Wang Tongyi was full of knowledge and said with a smile: "So there must be a doctor to follow, it is said that they are all Jinchuangke, specializing in treating such external injuries." This Mr. Mak is here for the second time, and his medical skills are extremely high. You see, how fast that moves! In this way, the injured person will suffer less pain. ”
Fast.
If the medical skills are not clever or not, it depends on whether it is fast enough.
This standard, hehe.
Wang Tongyi turned around and arched his hand at Lin Hui, and said very sincerely: "The matter of steaming wine still depends on Mr. I heard that the stronger the wine, the faster the injury healed. Helping others is also a merit. ”
Lin Hui gradually calmed down. Mr. Mak is certainly very rough and violent. But it is not the personal reasons that torment the injured, but the ideological and technical reasons.
As he spoke, Mr. Mak had taken out a long leather holster from his waist and put the knife in and placed it with the other knives. I took another coat from the side and put it on. Chong Wang Tongyi walked over.
Ignoring the few people next to Wang Tongyi. Mr. Mai yelled directly at Wang Tongyi: "No, no, no! No way! The two jars of wine that the black guy picked up just now still don't work, it must be stronger! Isn't there whiskey here? ”
Whisky certainly does. It's scary, right, people come from far and wide, but it's not for cheapness. How much silver will you get for pouring down like you? Wang Tongyi slandered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Mai, I have found someone who knows how to make the wine stronger, and there will be better wine in two days!" It's Mr. Lin next to me. ”
As he spoke, he turned to Lin Hui and introduced, "This is Mr. Mai Qiaodun." As long as you think of it as wheat growing on the piers, you can remember it. The latter sentence is obviously ridiculous, and he bullied Mr. Mai to his face and didn't understand it, but he said it seriously.
Wang Tongyi and Mr. Mai spoke in English, and Lin Hui had already understood that the so-called Maiqiaopier should be McJordon.
"Hello, Mr. Chouton." Lin Hui nodded, it was a greeting, and it was a very orthodox title. This sentence is in English, Lin Hui plans to have a good exchange with this Mr. Mai, if she still needs Wang Tong's translation in the middle, it will be too troublesome.
Wang Tongyi froze. Except for businessmen who live in the port and full-time interpreters, there are very few people who know Fanyu. How did I meet a random person and come with my mouth open?
Mr. Mai looked surprised, but a small hello doesn't mean anything, many people in this area will.
"Hello Mr. Lin! Just now, Wang Tongyi said, do you know how to steam wine? Are you sure? I'm very demanding! But if you can do it, the money will be yours! Mr. Mai didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he said a lot in one breath, as if he was considering whether the young man really understood in front of him.
Hehe, little one. Do you want to stump us? When Lin Hui was in medical school in the past, because of her excellent grades, she once interned abroad as an exchange student for a year, and this level of exchange was really pediatric.
"Alcohol is not a problem." Lin Hui raised her hand casually, saying that this matter was simply not worth mentioning: "In fact, I am also a healer. I would like to talk to you about anesthesia and anti-inflammatory. ”
"Anesthesia? Antiphlogistic? Mr. Mak repeated these two words, a blank and embarrassed look on his face.
As technical terms, these two English words are long and have an elegant Latin flavor. Mr. Mai realized at the moment that this must be a high-end and high-grade word, and he didn't understand it, could it be that he was a nobleman in front of him?
No, he seems to have just said that he is a healer?
Mr. Mak took a step back and re-examined the young man with a gentlemanly smile in front of him.
Mr. Mai has also met a few doctors on this continent, and in his impression, most of them are old people who are a little old and slow to speak. When they said it, the interpreters were so worried that they didn't know what to do. To deal with difficult wounds, they will take out a powder or ointment of unknown composition and apply it to the wound. As for the effect, some have indeed improved, while others have worsened.
Therefore, Mr. Mak's feeling is that these indigenous healers rely on luck at all. After all, even if there is no treatment at all, some injured people will get better because of their different physiques.
Now that he had met an indigenous doctor who could say words he didn't understand, Mr. Mak rubbed his hands and rubbed his face with his hands, feeling that he should show the demeanor of a gentleman first.
"Horse's mouth, uh, gunsmoke......" Mr. Mak repeated again, and he felt that the more he said it, the more wrong it became, after all, it was a new word.
"We'll talk about that later. Dear Mr. Lin, would you like to accept my invitation to enjoy black tea and snacks together? ”
Horse's mouth...... It's really not the horse's mouth. Lin Hui chuckled secretly, realizing that she might have used words from the future for Mr. Mai.
Judging from Wang Tongyi's stunned expression, being invited to drink tea and eat snacks seemed to be a very high-standard treatment, and Lin Hui happily accepted it.
Of course, Feng Team and the others were not qualified to go with them, in fact, they didn't understand a word at all, so they were invited elsewhere by Wang Tongyi in a daze.
Wang Tongyi was ruthless, broke a small piece of his treasured Pu'er tea, boiled a pot heartily, added salt and butter, and made butter tea.
"Come on, taste it, this is Tufan's butter tea. Drinking in this kind of weather is the most to warm up the body and increase strength. Wang Tongyi poured a cup for each of Team Feng and the two guards.
Team Feng took a sip of the cup. The tea was added, it was not very hot, and I swallowed it all at once, only to feel greasy and uncomfortable, and I couldn't spit it out if I wanted to, and besides, it was too rude to spit it out. was feeling embarrassed, only to hear Wang Tongyi next to him say with a smile: "A few of them are friends with Mr. Lin, and they know how to speak when they come." (To be continued......)
