473 Puerto Vallarta riots (Part II)
A chic estate in the city of Vallarta, one of Silva's main possessions and his base in Vallarta. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Silva's trade is involved in the ports on the west coast of Mexico, Alpulco and Vallarta are the two largest import and export locations, and he has the deepest business in these two places, especially Vallarta, when Spain was not open to formal trade with the Tang Dynasty, Vallarta was trading with the Tang as a smuggling port, and Silva was also the leader who single-handedly brought Vallarta up.
The estate is not large, nor is it European extravagant, Silva hired a Tang architect in Los Angeles to design this estate, which is not extravagant and luxurious, nor is it very atmospheric, but exudes a small European pastoral style. Of course, compared to those real European-style small estates, it is much more modern, with electric lighting, modern stoves, washrooms with shower heads, porcelain bathtubs, toilets, etc., which look a lot more sophisticated.
That night, Silva held a banquet at his estate, almost all the celebrities of Vallarta City, the high-ranking officials of the town hall, and even the defender Major Pachu, who was not usually present at the event? Torres, too, came here.
Miguel, the representative of the Mexican National Revolutionary Party, asked: "Torres hardly leaves his camp, how did you get him out?" ”
Silva whispered: "Bribe, what else can it be, which of these Spaniards has a clean ass?" This Torres didn't like money, but he liked women, and I got some very good prostitutes from Mexico City and sent them to him. Plus the silver ocean I gave him. He was embarrassed not to give me this face. ”
Miguel, who was an intellectual, couldn't help but frown. Silva was to him the quintessential revolutionary opportunist, unlike the pure National Revolutionary Party. But at this time, they also have to admit that Silva is their indispensable resource. As a subordinate party organization of the First International, and at the same time a subordinate organization that the First International is focusing on, the Mexican National Revolutionary Party has received a lot of resources, but the Mexican National Revolutionary Party needs to carry out activities in many areas, and the funds are relatively limited. After all, Datang will not aid these colonists without restrictions, and Datang is not rich and not blown by the wind. In many of the guiding documents of the First International. Among them, there are forces that can be united by taking the initiative to unite and build a united front. Then Silva's nature is the object of the united front. To be precise, Silva has joined the National Revolutionary Party, but he does not have many party responsibilities and is more liberal.
Miguel is now dressed as a waiter from Silva's family, serving drinks to the guests. This form of buffet actually originated in Europe, but the Tang people were very comfortable bringing the form of Western cocktail parties to this plane after the Tang Dynasty. For example, people don't sit down, they just stand and talk or dance. The food is mainly cold meals and dim sum, but the Tang people do it according to their own needs. A large number of hot dishes have been improved, and they can be enjoyed in a self-pick-up manner. In fact, it is more similar to the buffet provided in the star-rated hotels of later generations.
Silva is naturally capable of holding such a cocktail party, and the four chefs in his family have all studied at the Datang New Oriental Chef Cooking School, and their salaries are even comparable to those of the officials in the city hall.
Even these officers and officers from Spain are mostly dirt buns and have never seen much of the world. The high-end Tang utensils and tableware used in Silva's home are dazzling, and the spendthrift Silva orders special Tang utensils, and a plate may be a month's salary for an ordinary worker. Spain does not have a high status on the gastronomic map, and even the buffet that mixes various styles of Chinese and Western cuisine makes them enjoy their meals. At least at the end of the eighteenth century, Europeans had not yet fully emerged from the whirlpool of medieval dark cuisine. Later generations of burgers, pizza and the like have either not yet been invented, or they only exist in some places to a limited extent, and the taste cannot be compared with modern food. Therefore, almost all people who visit Datang feel that there is not much difference between Datang and heaven just by eating and drinking.
Mayor Vallarta and Major Torres both stood beside Silva with smiles, and the mayor smiled: "Thank you Mr. Silva for hosting this excellent reception for everyone, it is an honor for all of us to have such a wonderful citizen as Mr. Silva in Vallarta!" ”
Torres also smiled: "I haven't been so relaxed in the barracks for a long time, Mr. Silva is really good here, it seems that I can't help but come over to bother you a lot in the future." ”
Silva scolded in his heart, this Torres took a fancy to his manor and wanted to bring a woman to him for entertainment, but Silva was still full of smiles on his face, and said: "That's really good, I don't usually have people here, I run around between Mexico and Datang, and the business is relatively busy, if Major Torres needs it, you are welcome to come over at any time!" ”
And in his heart, Silva sneered: "The idea of still beating my manor? I'm going to make you suffer tonight! ”
With some flattery and pretense of greeting, the people who appeared at the reception seemed to be very happy. But after a while, the environment in the whole party seemed to have changed somewhat, everyone's spirit dropped a little, and some people even began to fall asleep. Finally, one of the older merchants fell on the stall and fell asleep. The people next to him went over to help him up and check it, but he fell down one after another.
The mayor was still a little confused: "What's going on?" ”
Major Torres, however, noticed the faint smile on Silva's face next to him, pointed at him and said, "You did it!" It's you! ”
Silva took a step back, beware of this guy outbursting and hurting himself, two guards disguised as waiters on the left and right protected Silva, Silva was not in the mood to talk much to these guys who were about to fall asleep after being hit by strong sleeping pills, he just nodded to Miguel next to him, and then turned his head and walked away.
The Spanish soldiers outside the reception were not smitten, but they were soon disarmed by Silva's escorts who rushed out on all sides, and some of them were knocked down by a burst of bullets when they tried to resist. Silva and the National Revolutionary Party did not use much effort to control Vallarta's master.
Soon, Lamores led the workers in a riot at the port docks, and Puerto Vallarta changed overnight! (To be continued.) )
