(PS: Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, don't ask for money, don't work hard, your support is the greatest encouragement for writers.) )
As with all film and television dramas, the police are always late after the fact.
"Stop!" Just when the scuffle was about to break out, the captain Henry and the translator Huang Fugui came together.
The incident was triggered by Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward and stood in front of everyone to show his leadership.
"Alas, Brother Dingyuan, why did Huang tell you last night, and why did he clash with foreigners today, it's really reckless." Huang Fugui shook his head and sighed that "rotten wood cannot be carved", full of officialdom.
"Lord Huang, although Zhiyuan is not talented, he can't let foreigners ride on his head and be indifferent. If foreigners treat people equally and bully us if they don't think we are Chinese, Zhiyuan will definitely not make trouble for nothing and cause trouble to Lord Huang. Qin Zhiyuan is not very demanding, only the word "equality", but these are just two words, and Westerners will not be able to do it until 100 years later.
"You...... Okay, from now on, Huang doesn't care about your Qin Dingyuan, you can do it yourself. What Qin Zhiyuan said had the meaning of accusing Huang Fugui of not daring to stand up for the laborers. Huang Fugui is quite smart, it was just that last night's incident didn't make a big fuss, but today's incident has already alarmed the captain, and it seems that he can't be good, so let's take it out first.
"Huh!" Qin Zhiyuan laughed dryly, no longer polite with Huang Fugui, no matter what, you didn't care anyway.
The only role of Huang Fugui's existence is translation, which Qin Zhiyuan does not need. Speaking carefully, Huang Fugui's French level is not as good as Qin Zhiyuan, and for Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Fugui's ability is not even as good as chicken ribs.
"Mr. No. 10086, can I let my child go now?" Henry was a traditional Frenchman, his hair was neatly waxed, the ends of his two mustaches were delicately trimmed, and he held a large black pipe in his hand, which he would take every now and then from time to time, and then slowly spit it out, hiding his face in the smoke, which was not really visible.
"Absolutely." Qin Zhiyuan was neither arrogant nor humble, and casually ordered, Chen Kangjian let go of Master Yang, and let Master Yang fall to the ground and cough violently without looking at it.
The two sailors ran over, glared at Qin Zhiyuan with hateful eyes for a long time, and then picked up the sluggish foreign master and dragged him away.
"Can you explain why?" After Master Yang was helped away, Henry began to hold him responsible.
"Well, when I came to breakfast in the morning, the sailor gave me only half a spoonful of mashed potatoes, and insulted me and my companion in insulting terms, and knocked over my companion's plate, and tried to do anything with him, and he claimed to teach me a lesson, and I suspect that he was instructed to deliberately insult me and my companion." There was only one foreigner in this restaurant just now, and the rest were laborers, Qin Zhiyuan believed that if the captain wanted to investigate, the conclusion of the investigation would only be worse.
"This is not a court, and I am not a judge, and accusatory statements do not work here." Henry told a bad joke, but unfortunately only Qin Zhiyuan could understand it among the laborers.
Qin Zhiyuan felt really cold, so he didn't smile.
"So as a captain, what would you do about it? Objectively speaking, my companion and I are passengers on your ship, is that how you treat your customers? Qin Zhiyuan is right, the workers have been paid for the boat, although it is paid by Yimin Company, but it must be deducted from the future salary.
"As for the cause of this incident, I will also investigate, and if the conclusion is indeed as you said, I will give you a satisfactory explanation." When it comes to the attitude towards customers, Henry does not dare to be careless, which is related to the reputation of the shipping company and the interests of the company's shareholders, and it is not up to Henry to decide as a captain.
"So, during the time I investigate, I want you and your companions to exercise restraint and not let this happen again, do you agree?" Who said that foreigners are efficient, Henry is obviously "dragging", as long as the Victory News docks, the laborers will go their separate ways, and there will be no intersection with the Victory News again, and no one will investigate the results of this matter.
"Yes, I couldn't agree more." Although he knew that Henry was stalling for time, Qin Zhiyuan also agreed to Henry's proposal, after all, compared to the long journey, this was just a small episode, and it was not worth making a big deal about.
Although he didn't want to be investigated, Qin Zhiyuan still had to put forward conditions: "Then, from now on, I hope that both of us will exercise restraint, I will not hold the sailor responsible for today's incident, and I hope that the captain can also ensure that your sailors will not deliberately provoke again." ”
"Of course, I can guarantee it." Henry shook his head, and suddenly felt that the Chinese peasant in front of him, numbered 10086, was more difficult than an authentic nobleman, this feeling made Henry feel very uncomfortable, and he drove this strange idea out of his mind: "In addition, the cause of the incident has not yet been ascertained, and I can't arbitrarily assume that it was my child who provoked it first, I hope you can understand." ”
"Yes, I totally understand." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to say this kind of diplomatic rhetorical nonsense anymore, with this time, it was serious to hurry up and fill his stomach.
At this moment when Qin Zhiyuan and Henry were living in vain, the taciturn Cliff had already made a full meal of beef, and now he was attacking the eggs.
"Alright, I'm glad we agreed, I wish you a pleasant breakfast." Henry obviously didn't want to stay in this embarrassing place for long, so he nodded and turned to leave.
"As you wish!" Qin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and now he can finally determine that the foreigners of this era are no different from the foreigners of later generations, as long as they understand the social structure and operation mode of foreigners, foreigners are easy to deal with.
"Awesome!"
"Hero!"
"Profit!"
"Admire!"
“……”
As soon as Henry left, the laborers in the restaurant expressed their admiration in a variety of dialects. can beat the foreign devil, and then talk to the head of the foreign devil for a long time, with the three-inch tongue of the foreign adult to hide his face in shame, this is the common bridge of the storyteller, I didn't expect it to happen to me today, and the workers have remembered Qin Zhiyuan since then.
For Huang Fugui, it is even more incredible, according to Huang Fugui's assumption, Qin Zhiyuan will not be thrown into the sea today, but will also be locked up, but he didn't expect the imposing foreign adults to leave like this. Huang Fugui can understand simple French, and because of this, Huang Fugui's feeling is even more shocking, and Qin Zhiyuan is more and more mysterious in Huang Fugui's heart.
"Brother, you're amazing!" As soon as Henry left, Gao Hongshi came over with a plate of eggs and offered it to his knees.
"You got the eggs and the beef, what do the brothers in the back eat?" Now is the time to show fairness and justice, and Qin Zhiyuan will not let go of such an opportunity.
"Master Qin, you are eating, I am doing it, I will come up immediately, I can't miss the brothers how much effort I have." From the moment he got on the boat, he plunged into the kitchen and never saw the light of day, and the genuine chef finally showed his original form, and won a full house when he opened his mouth.
"That's right, Master Qin, you eat first."
"Master Qin is righteous, the master will be fine after a while."
"Just Chong Qin Ye's pie today, Qin Ye should also eat first."
The workers in the restaurant responded to the cook's call, and the privileged behavior that should have been resisted was now taken for granted.
Huang Fugui stood in the corner of the restaurant and watched all this coldly, and suddenly felt that he should change his attitude towards Qin Zhiyuan. If you treat Qin Zhiyuan as an ordinary laborer, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this translation for long.
