Chapter 14: Tony
Several buckets of rice and meat and vegetarian dishes were directly delivered to the venue, and each teenager was given a number one big bowl, Han Yong shouted for the teenagers to line up and fight rice one by one, half a bowl of white rice for beauties, a big spoonful of oily braised pork, and a little vegetarian dish, if it is not enough, you can add it, Qiao Yu can clearly hear the sound of saliva.
In this era, the vast majority of people can see a little meat all year round is already good, even ordinary landlords are not able to eat meat at once, let alone ordinary people, it is already good to be able to eat dry rice at a time, more people do it for half a year, half a year is thin, and even have to dig some wild vegetables to eat when the green and yellow are not harvested.
As for the dishes, it is even more limited, the vegetables grown at home, put a little salt and cook it is good, there is almost no oil and the like, and even the poorer ones are just a little wild vegetables dipped in salt water, and they are not full of it, although Sichuan is known as the country of abundance, but the common people are not good, as the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the old man, now these teenagers are the age when they can eat, there is no oil and water in the stomach at all, it can be said that they have been in a state of half hunger and half full, where to let go of the stomach to eat.
As soon as they saw the fragrant rice and large pieces of meat, the teenagers were left to desperately fill their stomachs, a large bowl of rice was all eaten in a few minutes, several large buckets of rice were quickly eaten, and there was no braised pork left, but fortunately, they had been prepared in advance, and soon the meals were delivered again.
Han Yong looked at these teenagers who were eating frantically, and his face was also very emotional: "Young master, we haven't eaten such a good thing in the military camp back then, after eating this meal, I'm afraid that these little cubs can give you their lives, it's just that it costs too much, and this meal of meat alone will cost two big fat pigs!" ”
"I don't need anyone to give me my life, they are all people who have the power to decide their own destiny, just like us, but unfortunately live in this world, have to live a hard life, only by changing this world, can everyone enjoy their birthright, live like a person, no longer worry about hunger and food!"
Qian Tai was also very emotional on the side, "Young master, it has been the common people who have suffered since ancient times, it would be good to have a stutter, otherwise what else, rebellion?" How fierce the first few decades of long hair were, wasn't it finally extinguished! These teenagers are blessed to have met you! ”
For thousands of years, China has been like this, there are few rulers, many troubled times, and it is not uncommon in history to change children and eat, when will China really escape from the cycle of rise and fall and chaos? When will the Chinese be able to stand proudly above the world! Qiao Yu only felt that a heavy burden fell on him, as a traverser, he must not waste the opportunity given to him by God.
"Brother Han, you have to worry more about training, I have already formulated the training plan, I must strictly implement it, and strive to quickly change the appearance of these teenagers, I don't want to be able to become a strong army, at least I must be able to deal with ordinary bandit bullies, as well as the hooligans like the Elders!"
"Young master, rest assured!" At this moment, a guard ran to Qiao Yu's approach.
"Boss, the prefect sent someone to invite you over, it seems that you are in a hurry, let you go immediately!"
Niu Chuanshan looking for himself? Qiao Yu couldn't stop thinking in his heart, although he didn't know what it was, but he couldn't help but go to the mansion, Qiao Yu hurriedly went straight to the mansion, and when he arrived at the prefect's yamen, he saw a master waiting anxiously, and when he saw Qiao Yu coming, he hurriedly walked a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Master Qiao, Lord Yang came to find trouble with the prefect, it is a person from the British government, it seems that it is because you always buy German machines, this unknown government invited you to come, this foreigner is too fierce, you have to be careful!" ”
This master is already in his forties, but a mouth is your old man, which also made Qiao Yu laugh for a while, but then Qiao Yu couldn't laugh anymore, today's Chinese are afraid of foreigners to this point, and a British can make a government fall into a panic, which is really sadly tight.
Qiao Yu came to the main hall under the guidance of his master, and saw Niu Chuanshan drinking tea with a blonde and blue-eyed Englishman, but the dignified prefect lowered his head slightly, as if a primary school student saw a teacher, he was as humble as he wanted, and the Englishman was arrogant, pouting and taking a sip of tea from time to time.
"Governor Niu, your tea is too bitter and too monotonous, you can add some milk and sugar cubes, so it's good!"
"What Lord Yang said is reasonable, but the government is simple, please forgive me, and I will invite you to taste tea next time!"
"Lord Fuzun, I want to ask for a cup of coffee and a few cloves of garlic!" Qiao Yu came in at this time, and said loudly, at first the Englishman didn't seem to react, but then he heard the irony in Qiao Yu's words, he wanted to add milk to tea, just like garlic when drinking coffee, and his face suddenly turned red.
"This gentleman, you are so rude, this is not the attitude of talking to a gentleman!"
"It's really not, but Your Excellency is not a gentleman, the most basic thing between people is respect, your country can have your way of drinking tea, but don't forget that China is the homeland of tea, with a history of more than a thousand years, how to taste the true meaning of life from a few leaves No one is better than Chinese, if you even ignore this common sense, it is Yelang arrogance!"
This Englishman heard it clearly, but he didn't know how to refute it, because this is the case, he was not shameless enough to open his eyes and say nonsense, and he had never seen Chinese who dared to argue with the British, even those high-ranking officials were as polite as possible, but the person in front of him seemed to have completely failed to put the British Empire in his eyes, what an outlier!
Although Niu Chuanshan couldn't understand English, he could guess what was going on by looking at the expressions of the two, and suddenly sweat broke out on his face, and he complained in his heart that Qiao Yu was young and vigorous, and hurriedly played a round.
"Lord Yang is angry, this nephew Qiao Xian, this is Mr. Tony from the consulate, I want to talk to you about the factory, it's important!"
Although Tony was looking for trouble, he didn't want to argue about such a meaningless matter, so he barely calmed down.
"Mr. Qiao, I heard that your factory bought German machines, this is a very bad thing, it will ruin the friendship between us, I hope you can make the right choice!"
When Qiao Yu heard that this British guy actually threatened him directly, it was a bit excessive, it is true that the Yangtze River basin is the British sphere of influence, but this is not the same as a direct colony, and this division of the sphere of influence is more aimed at the power of the railway, and buying some German machines by himself is completely an ordinary business act, even if the British are red, they cannot openly interfere!
"Mr. Tony, the factory I built is completely civilian, and the buying and selling behavior is the most ordinary textile machine, which obviously has no impact on the relationship between the two countries, you are too overbearing to do this!"
"Yucheng is of great significance to the British Empire, and the wanton introduction of German machines is naturally a threat to Britain, there is nothing to say about this, you China has a saying called precipice rein, otherwise you will regret it!"
"Mr. Tony, do you mean you want me to stop the factory? If that's what you mean, I can do it, but within a day you'll see all the newspapers headlines on the front page, the British violently suppressing Chinese companies, wantonly destroying free trade, and I believe that not only will there be a new wave of boycotts of British goods in China, but even the rest of the powers will be ashamed of your country's actions, do you want to see this outcome? ”
Qiao Yu didn't back down at all, but Tony felt a storm in his heart, he was just an ordinary secretary in the consulate, and he didn't have the ability to bear this kind of turmoil at all, and he was also entrusted by others, thinking that with the name of the British, it was enough to make the other party compromise, no matter if he didn't close the factory, he would make some de facto concessions, which one actually put himself in an embarrassing situation.
I ask you to enjoy a few recommended votes, Ash must try his best to dedicate a good story to everyone, and I recommend the Qing Dynasty, the perspective is very unique, you can take a look.
