Chapter 8: Drunkenness
Although sending Shir abroad is the best way to solve their current predicament, Charles' parents are reluctant to send their children to a foreign country, and second, in their opinion, it is in India to ensure their quality of life and familiar lifestyle.
In fact, many people have wondered why the Indian municipal government is doing so poorly, but few of India's rich people have emigrated abroad, on the other hand, in China, many people just think about immigration as soon as they get rich, this situation is more obvious in entertainers, and almost no Chinese in a great cause of nation-building is the biggest irony.
The reason why the rich in India refuse to leave India is because the rich in India, especially the high-caste rich, can enjoy all kinds of privileges, just taking servants as an example, the richest man in India Mukesh has only six people in his family, but he has 600 servants, which is simply not possible in other countries, and in India, the high-caste rich people bully and even abuse and kill low-caste or untouchables, which is neither illegal nor in line with social cognition.
Another factor is that Charr's parents don't want her to find a husband who is a foreigner or other religion, so many cognitive gaps are too big to communicate, but the wealthy people of the upper castes who believe in Hinduism will definitely not marry their daughter with a bad reputation, which makes Charles's parents very distressed.
At first, the daughter's name was hung in the maid market just to cope with the public opinion of the outside world, but then Charles's mother felt that she might be able to meet a suitable person here, so she made her extremely exaggerated request to the staff, and she didn't expect such a person to appear, but she didn't expect a Shakru to come today, after a simple investigation of him, Charles's parents were pleasantly surprised to find that this young man was very in line with his own requirements in addition to the recent small fortune that was too coincidental, But if you directly propose to Shakru, it is estimated that he will refuse, after all, the impact of his daughter's affairs is too great, so the two decided to make a mistake and send their daughter to Shakru to be a "fake maid", and when the two fell in love for a long time and had a relationship, Shakru took possession of his daughter's innocent body, so he couldn't help but not marry his daughter, so there was this visit.
Before leaving, Mr. Shukla, the father of the Charles, asked Shakru meaningfully: "Mr. Pandit, are you interested in working in the government?" I know a lot of friends in the government who can definitely help you. ”
To tell the truth, Charles's father's proposal is much higher than the temptation of living allowance just now, because India is an extremely corrupt country, officials are corrupt, and accepting red envelopes and asking for benefits has become an open phenomenon, and a well-known rumor is that "if you do a project in India, 95% of the money will be embezzled by officials at all levels, and the remaining 5% will be used to disrupt the project in a democratic way." "This shows how serious the corruption is, but even so, civil servants in India are not allowed to be fired without very special circumstances, so it is very pleasant to be a civil servant in India.
However, Shakru still gave up this tempting idea, there were many ways he could make money, and there was no need to do such annoying work, so he said to Charles's father: "Well, thank you, Mr. Shukla, but I still want to try it in business, and I will trouble Mr. Shukla when I want to go into politics." ”
After seeing off Mr. Shukla, Shakru felt tired from a long day's toss, arranged Charles's room, and then went back to his bedroom and fell asleep on the bed.
I don't know how long I slept, but Shakru was awakened by a soft knock on the door, and he asked in a daze, "Who?" ”
Then a very crisp and beautiful female voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Pandeit, I'm Charles, I just ordered a dinner, are you dining now?" ”
Shakru glanced at his watch and found that it was already six o'clock in the evening, and it was indeed time for dinner, so he answered: "Wait a minute, I'll come out." ”
Although the dinner seemed to be ordered in a very high-end restaurant, he still had no appetite at all, because he really couldn't stand the style of Indian food, so after a glass of wine, he talked to Shire: "Miss Charles, have you ever eaten Chinese food?" ”
Charles nodded: "Well, I went to Taiwan the year before last, and I think it is really full of food, much better than Indian food, why do you like to eat Chinese food too, Mr. Pandiet?" ”
Shakru pondered for a while and said: "Miss Charles, I will be wronged to have you stay with me for a while in the future, so I don't think there is any need to be so polite between us, just call me Shakru, and I will also call you Charles, how about it?" Shakru couldn't stand this honorific and honorific title, so he hurriedly made this suggestion.
After getting Charles' consent, Shakru continued: "I also became obsessed with Chinese food half a year ago, but unfortunately it is difficult to find a chef of Chinese food in New Delhi, so lately I have been cooking by myself, if you are used to eating Charles, then don't order out anymore, let me do it." ”
Listening to Shakru's words, Charles exclaimed, "Mr. Pandit, you, you can cook?" ”
Charles's surprise is justified, because in India, men not only do not cook, but also do almost all household chores, not even manual work, and it is common to see a large man walking gracefully in front of him with his hands behind his back, while his wife waddles behind with a large basket on her head. In rural India, many men marry two or three wives in order to have a free labour.
Shakru can understand Charles's surprise, but he really can't do anything, in New Delhi, he can't talk about authentic Northeast Chinese cuisine chefs, even if it's not authentic, he can't hire them, and he can't adapt to the spicy taste of Indian food full of curry, so what can he do if he doesn't make it himself.
So he could only touch his nose and reluctantly explain: "Well, in fact, studying food is also a very interesting and rewarding thing, and there are no qualified Chinese chefs in New Delhi, so you just don't dislike my craft." ”
Then, in order to change the subject, he lifted his glass and said, "Oh, what are you talking about, come, let's drink!" ”
As soon as he said this, Shakru regretted it, how could it be so obvious to persuade a girl he had just met to drink, it was easy to make people suspect that he had other plans, but what he didn't expect was that Charles actually agreed: "Yes, drink, come, Mr. Pandiet, let's drink!" ”
