7th Dinner
Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, escorted by Yuan Shikai's 100 new troops, Yang Chao embarked on the return journey. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Yuan Shikai did not give Yang Chao any expression, Yang Chao was already very satisfied, to make friends with a character like Yuan Shikai, there was no hope without proving his worth, and it was far from enough to repair a broken porcelain vase.
However, Yang Chao didn't plan to get any results through such a trivial matter, he just showed his face in front of Yuan Shikai and let Yuan Shikai leave an impression on himself.
Now it is obvious that it is impossible for Yuan Shikai not to remember himself, and it is estimated that he has a deep impression in Yuan Shikai's heart.
The governor's coachman and two German soldiers stayed in the governor's yamen for a few days, and they had a very pleasant time, from where William Yang Chao already knew, it turned out that Yuan Keding had sent someone to take care of them, and several people received a lot of red envelopes, which made Yang Chao feel strange, why didn't Yuan Keding give him red envelopes, Yang Chao is still poor and white, and he is also very short of money.
The speed of the return trip was much faster, and he did not stop at night, only at night would he stop to rest, and he did not deliberately deal with the local government, so it only took eight days to return to Qingdao.
Then Yang Chao replied to Hans, saying that Governor Yuan Shikai had promised to help, and Hans was also very happy, but only put forward a hope, hoping that the plum bottle would be repaired within three days, because the governor's guests would arrive in three days.
Yang Chao said there was no problem at all.
That night, someone quietly came to visit Yang Chao, and it was the person sent by Yuan Shikai who rode a fast horse and quietly sent the fragments of the plum bottle to Yang Chao.
Yang Chao told the man to wait, and then quietly walked out of a house arranged for him by the Germans.
Yang Chao lived in the Eastern District, that is, the barracks area next to the Yamen of the Jiaozhou General Army, and the barracks of the Germans had been repaired, so these houses were idle a lot.
It's not far from the coast, and Yang Chao quietly went around to the sea, and didn't run into anyone on the way.
Then he shouted into his watch: "Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu!" ”
"Commander, Lao Jiu received it."
Soon there was an effect on the dial, which was still a strange-looking robot, but the background was no longer at the bottom of the sea, but in a bright, sci-fi spaceship cabin.
Yang Chao continued: "Come and pick me up." Remember not to be seen. ”
Lao Jiu said: "Lao Jiu received it." ”
Then the prompt sounded: "No signs of biological activity found, can float." ”
Soon a black roof slowly appeared on the sea, like a turtle shell, and then a large disc with a radius of more than two hundred meters was gradually revealed, and soon a one-meter-wide flat ladder stretched out from a gap, crossing a few hundred meters of sea and falling at the foot of Yang Chao.
Yang Chao stepped on the ladder, and then the ladder was retracted, and soon entered the familiar spaceship.
Familiar, but also unfamiliar, because the cabin has recovered a lot, and the appearance is basically the same as the spaceship I saw in the past.
handed the plum bottle to Lao Jiu: "Repair it immediately, it will be repaired tonight." ”
Lao Jiu took the burden with his mechanical arm, then stretched out his mechanical arm and put it far into an octagonal column at the edge of the spaceship, which was composed of a transparent glass-like substance, which was actually a repair table, dedicated to repairing the small parts of the spaceship.
I saw that the residue of the plum bottle was poured into the metallic flat platform under the workbench by Lao Jiu, and then many holes opened nearby, and the needle-like tentacles stretched out, and a slightly reddish rainbow light continued to flash at the top of the tentacles.
"Scan complete, estimated repair time 30 minutes! Pls is it fixed now? ”
Although there are a large number of speakers on the ship, Yang Chao requires that the robot Lao Jiu always speak, so that he can always treat Lao Jiu as a 'person'.
"Fix it now!"
Yang Chao ordered.
Order, those probes immediately acted, some probes changed into a mechanical arm with a clamp at the top, the large porcelain pieces were slowly spliced, after the splicing, there were other probes at the seams immediately for welding general action, and the porcelain glaze visible to the naked eye melted and then joined together.
After the large pieces of porcelain are welded together, the porcelain takes on a dotted shape and becomes a porcelain vase that is not large or small.
At this time, the mechanical probe suddenly adsorbed the remaining slag-like porcelain fragments at the bottom layer one by one, and then piled up and welded into the holes.
After these dregs were also filled in, the porcelain vase already had a shape, and the patterns on it were all complete, which only showed that there were pits, and even dense needle-like wounds, but at this time there were no decent fragments on the workbench, almost all of them were porcelain powder.
Yang Chao was also a little worried at this time, although he used the watch to scan it before smashing the pieces for the second time, so that Lao Jiu carried out a simulated restoration, Lao Jiu also said that it was all crushed into powder, and the spaceship also had the ability to repair it, but seeing these powders, Yang Chao was still a little worried about whether it could be completely restored.
Although Lao Jiu claimed that the spaceship had atomic-level positioning and repair capabilities, and even if this porcelain was broken into powder, it was only molecular-level, and there was no problem at all in repairing, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, and Yang Chao had never been able to understand this magical scientific and technological ability.
Carefully staring at the action of the mechanical probe, I found that the probe actually sucked into these powders at once, and then dozens of probes, along the cracks, needle holes and potholes, began to carry out a spray-like operation, and then I saw that those defects were filled and repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a few minutes, a porcelain vase that was intact and exuded the charm of a work of art was displayed in front of me.
Yang Chao immediately asked Lao Jiu to take it out, took it in his hand and examined it carefully, and touched the porcelain with his hand to show that he felt a cold warmth, without the slightest condensation, and he couldn't see that this was once a pile of fragments.
Only then did Yang Chao recognize the magical ability of the spaceship.
Yang Chao didn't have time to delay, so he immediately rushed back and handed over the porcelain vase to the people sent by Yuan Shikai.
When this person saw the plum bottle, he also felt incredible, but he didn't expect Yang Chao to go out for an hour, and when he came back, he brought a complete plum bottle, and he couldn't help but be amazed and sighed at the skills of foreigners.
Then he immediately took out a small cloth bag, saying that it was a little caution from Lord Yuan.
After sending the person away, Yang Chao opened Yuan Shikai's gift and found that there were a few gold bars inside, as well as cylindrical objects wrapped in red paper, a few pearl necklaces and other jewelry, and a few larger beads.
When I opened the cylindrical object, I found that it was a wrapped eagle ocean, a pack of one hundred, a full three hundred oceans.
Although he hasn't figured out the value of these gifts, Yang Chao also feels that there are probably a few hundred taels of silver, which is a big gift, Yuan Shikai has always been generous, and he does not hesitate to attract high-ranking officials to those who have use value, and at this time he sent so many gifts to Yang Chao, which means that Yuan Shikai agrees with Yang Chao's value, which makes Yang Chao happy.
But he was also a little disappointed, giving such a big gift, does it also mean that Yuan Shikai was only in exchange for this help, and he didn't want to have anything else to do with it, at least he didn't want to owe Yang Chao a favor.
The next day, Yuan Shikai's people visited the Governor of Qingdao in a bright and bright manner, and returned the plum bottle, and the German Governor was naturally very happy, and invited Yuan Shikai to attend the ball he held two days later.
To Yang Chao's surprise, Yang Chao also received an invitation, and he received an invitation letter to attend a dinner party welcoming German businessmen.
The Germans attached great importance to this dinner, and Yang Chao also attached great importance to it, and he even washed the clothes from the inside out, or asked Lao Jiu to remove the dirt on them using molecular-level scientific and technological capabilities, and at the same time make it smooth.
I also took a break from my hair and shaved my beard. In this way, Yang Chao attended the German dinner cleanly.
Yang Chao stood in the middle of the dinner party, but he was not the focus of attention, because there was also a Chinese present.
Yang Chao was very surprised, Yuan Shikai did not come to the dinner, but sent a representative, his son Yuan Keding.
Yang Chao thought that Yuan Shikai would definitely not be able to participate in the invitation sent by the Germans, because the time was too tight, and the time given to him was only two days, let alone preparation, I was afraid that it would be too late to hurry.
Unexpectedly, the people sent by Yuan Shikai rushed back overnight, and then Yuan Keding set off non-stop, and rushed to Qingdao in one day and night at an expedited speed of 800 miles along the way, but when he participated in the banquet, he was already in the dust.
But no one cares about his appearance, and having the aura of the son of the governor of Shandong is enough to attract attention, so it also makes Yang Chao, a Chinese, not so dazzling to stay among foreigners.
In the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace, where the Germans had not yet shed the smell of fresh building materials, Yang Chao was sandwiched between a group of Germans, and was frequently introducing each other, when suddenly the band began to play.
Then the Doge in a ceremonial dress came out, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted the Doge at the same time.
The Governor nodded his head in response, and went to the top seat, facing the guests, when the music stopped, and then the Governor began to speak.
"On behalf of all the officials, soldiers and families of Qingdao, the Governor warmly welcomes all German industrial and commercial colleagues!"
This time, a German business delegation, which also included several heavyweights, stood closest to the Governor, including the managers of the banking industry, the Taipan of the foreign firm, and the managers of the Hamburg Americas.
Yang Chao stood at the end, and in his capacity, he could only stand at the end, while Yuan Keding stood at the forefront, as the son and representative of the governor of Shandong, he was qualified to be with the German high-level.
Suddenly, the music began to play again, and as the Governor's speech was over, the Governor began to walk up to the guests, toasting them one by one, raising their glasses, and occasionally chatting a few words.
The Governor walked through the crowd, greeting the guests, from the front to the rear, and almost no one was left behind.
finally walked to Yang Chao's side and stopped.
