Subtitle of this chapter: Ten Thousand Dollars Scattered and Returned
When Mr. George Baker finished ordering, it was naturally Mr. Thomas Edison's turn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The waiter suggested, "Mr. Edison, how about the chef's recommended butter baked lobster......
Doctor Yuan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "Mr. Edison, in addition to medication, the lifestyle of diabetics must follow certain guidelines. You can eat lobster, but you can't eat butter! β
"Mr. Edison, today's steak is good......"
"Mr. Edison, diabetics should never eat too greasy."
"Mr. Edison, why don't you have a seafood platter......"
"Mr. Edison, Diabetic ......"
"That's enough, Mr. Yuan. Just tell me what I can eat. β
"Beans! Mr. Edison, it's best for diabetics to eat pacmen. β
"Alright then......."
The waiter came to Master Yuan's side and asked, "Mr. Yuan, what do you want to eat for the main course?" β
"Well, I don't have a good appetite today. Or ......"
"A pair of lobsters."
"Double steak."
"Seafood platter...... Four discs. β
"Neo, your appetite is really good."
"Theodore, this is the effect of WU JIA PI. After drinking this wine, I have a good appetite, my body is great, and I eat it well. β
"Neo, will my father's illness be cured?"
"Theodore, we Chinese medicine is science, not witchcraft. Your father's diabetes and chronic nephritis are extremely troublesome chronic diseases, and he is also old, even if it is extremely troublesome for us to treat with Chinese medicine, but it is ......" (Author's note: There is no such thing as "father" and "Lingzun" in English. οΌ
Theodore Edison and our Master Yuan were also the same age, and his temper and character were much better than his Lao Tzu. After the two got acquainted, they naturally began to call each other the first name.
Yuan Yanqian patted his chest and said, "But please rest assured, as long as you follow the doctor's advice, it will definitely not be a problem to live another ten years in Mr. Edison's condition." β
Anyway, you old guy can live 1931 without our Chinese medicine treatment.
Master Yuan, who was munching lobster, steak and seafood in his mouth, looked at the great inventor who could only eat tomato juice and soybeans, and he was so open in his heart.
Lao Tzu even flickered the god of light bulbs, and it seems that he will never be a light bulb again.
Today is truly a day to remember...... By the way, what time is it today?
"Master Ball, search for ......"
"Host, Sunday, November 21, 1920, historically ......"
At this very moment, a Anglo-Irish war is being fought in the British Isles, known as the "first urban guerrilla warfare" and the "originator of terrorism". The war, which began in January 1919 and ended in July 1921, was also known as the Irish War of Independence.
On 21 January 1919, Sinn FΓ©in convened the first Irish Parliament, declaring the independence of the Republic of Ireland and entering a state of war with Great Britain. On this very day, the independence elements attacked the patrol officers at the Solohydeberg quarry, snatching explosives. The day unveiled a long bloody conflict between Britain and Ireland.
The Associated Press reported that the gunfire at Solo Heideberg heralded "the dawn of a new era of terrorism!" β
This time the British government could not suppress the Irish revolt as easily as it had historically been, because the Irish resorted to guerrilla warfare and terrorism that were very different from traditional forms of warfare
This morning in Dublin local time, the IRA organized a fairly successful assassination operation, killing more than a dozen British intelligence officers, officers and police officers.
Not to be outdone, the British government reacted swiftly and violently. There was supposed to be an Irish football game at Croke Park in Dublin that afternoon. A group of members of the "Irish Police Reserve" and the "Black and Brown Unit" surrounded the stadium and began to conduct a search. The two forces, notorious for their ruthlessness, opened fire on civilian spectators, killing 12 people and wounding 60.
After today, the situation in Ireland has been out of control since then, and the bloodshed has continued for eight months.
At this time, the waiter stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Yuan, do you want pudding or ice cream for your dessert?" β
However, Yuan Yanqian's attention was all on his search results at this time, so he said to himself, "Oh, today is 'Bloody Sunday'." β
The waiter was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan." We don't have Bloody Sunday, just Bloody Mary and Raspberry Sundaes. β
Actually, the English word for sundae is Sunday, and coincidentally this thing did originate in the United States in the 19th century. At that time, the religious atmosphere in the United States was still very strong, so some states considered Sunday to be the Sabbath and did not allow the sale of ice cream. So the ice cream merchant covered the ice cream with fruit puree, fruits, etc., and named the sundae after the English pronunciation of Sunday.
"Oh, I was wrong. Then give me a ...... Well, double the raspberry sundae. β
"Okay, Mr. Yuan."
By the way, since today is Bloody Sunday, I should mourn the bloody suppression of the Irish people by the evil colonial empire of Great Britain.
"Waiter, waiter. I'll have a 'Bloody Mary' after my meal. β
"Okay, Mr. Yuan."
After dinner, the five of them moved to the lavishly decorated smoking room. You must know that a cigarette after a meal is not just a tradition of our Chinese.
Louis Baker took out a cigar and said, "Neo, do you want Cuban cigars?" β
Oh, is this the legendary Cuban cigar made on the lap of a young girl!
Our Master Yuan happily replied, "Of course! β
That's right, camel is so cheap, how can a master like me always smoke cigarettes? When I have money, I have to smoke this......
Wait, isn't Lao Tzu rich?
"Mr. Yuan, your prize."
At this time, the great inventor sent a checkbook, wrote a check for 30,000 US dollars, and handed it to Master Yuan, who finally got rich.
Look, how much money can be made by opening a factory, and Lao Tzu will flicker it casually......
"Mr. Edison, are you mistaken? That's three thousand dollars more. β
The "miserly" god of light bulbs said nonchalantly: "Mr. Yuan, there is no mistake. The extra few thousand dollars will be used as your home bill. β
Listening to this, look at it like this, this guy is clearly a dog fighting for money and looks down on me.
Then Lao Tzu ......
"Hahaha, then I'll laugh at it."
If someone thinks that a few thousand dollars can insult our Master Yuan's personality now, then these people are really ...... Big mistake!
Yuan Yanqian really doesn't care about the 3,000 US dollars, and the 30,000 US dollars. A little money is just a number, but without this money, he can't afford to buy the best Cuban cigars?
For a time-traveler who grasps the general trend of history, a small amount of money is readily available, but the opportunity is fleeting!
He stood up and walked over to George Baker, respectfully handed the check over and said, "Mr. Baker." I don't know how much NYPR is worth. But the $30,000 is even my deposit to buy a controlling stake. β
The Wall Street Miracle glanced at this Chinese with great appreciation, and secretly said in his heart, I really didn't look away, this son is terrifying...... Well, sure enough, a young man who treats money like dung but is good at seizing opportunities.
"Huh." Old Mr. Baker chuckled, took the check and put it on the coffee table, and said, "Neo, you love bets so much, why don't I make a bet with you." β
