1054, Datang officials are really happy (II)
Maupassant touched his belly, which was already beginning to roll around, and was obviously very full. ※%Top※%Dot※%Small※% said, 2+3x Just now, they Westerners have never eaten such delicious things, and they can actually provide unlimited amounts, which makes them feel refreshed. Since it is provided in unlimited quantities, then they have nothing to be polite about, and they just eat in large gulps, as if they want to swallow their tongues. And those Tang Dynasty officials who ate with them, seeing them like this, also took the initiative to leave their side, obviously meaning that they and they were not all the way.
"Who are these guys? How can they be reincarnated like a starving ghost, which country's envoys are they? Someone immediately talked about it.
"No, they're not envoys. He was a member of the Tongwenkan hired by the imperial court to translate Western classics. This was also proposed by Lord Jingwen, to translate Western classics, so we hired Westerners who are proficient in our Chinese to translate here. They will be half of our colleagues in the future. Another said.
"Are they poor in the West? Why are you so rude when you eat? Someone asked curiously.
"Maybe! If they weren't very poor, how could they be so 'ferocious' in a working meal? If you really go to the regular order of food in the daily diet, then you don't know what it will become? Someone said disdainfully.
And Maupassant, the Westerners, did not know that they had been despised by the Chinese officials, but they were extremely happy that they could eat the good things that these Western nobles could not eat. They can't eat these things in the West, let alone afford them. But now I can eat it casually, and I'm so excited.
"Old Mo, what were you hiding just now? You should know that this is a buffet, and you can't take it away! Jingwen asked with a smile.
"Well, I want to leave some for my daughter, who has never eaten anything so good since she was a child. So......" Maupassant said, a little embarrassed.
"Hahahaha, since that's the case, then I'll invite you and your daughter to the restaurant I opened for a meal in the evening!" Jingwen said.
"Thank you, sir!" Maupassant said.
Next, everyone rests for about half an hour, that is, about an hour before they start work.
"Ladies and gentlemen, afternoon tea is here!" The eunuch said.
And those eunuchs brought teapots one by one, which can be regarded as making tea for everyone. This is also one of the benefits of working in the palace, and you can have tea provided by Jingwen to taste tea. And those Westerners saw that everyone had this tea tasting, and they were shocked by this.
"Oh my God! This is tea, there are so many! "Yes! Anyone can taste tea. This is simply amazing! "Why is it so wasteful, there are several taels of tea in a pot of tea!" ……
These Westerners were immediately shocked, knowing that at this time, even the worst tea leaves could be exchanged for the same weight of silver in the West. If it is a high-grade tea, it is an incomparable price. In the West at this time, only the nobles above the middle level could afford to drink tea. And they drink tea every time, where it seems to be in the palace here, there are actually a few taels of tea at a time. And there are thousands of people in this palace. Everyone can drink tea, and the tea consumed is more than a dozen catties per day. This immediately shocked these Westerners, and they drank at least a dozen catties of silver every day. And these teas are obviously not ordinary goods, and they can obviously see that these teas are high-end. Much better than the ones in the West. The price is immeasurable, so these Westerners are also shocked, feeling too extravagant.
"A bunch of Western buns!" Someone whispered.
When the guys saw the tea, they began to drink it one by one. This is the case. Compared with the appearance of Ashinayun's two subordinates drinking tea back then, it is obvious that they all want to take advantage of it. Anyway, this kind of thinking of taking advantage is something that anyone has. Even Westerners have it. Since this kind of aristocratic tea can be drunk for free here, then they naturally want to drink tea as much as possible, otherwise it will be a waste of a lot.
Soon it was afternoon, and these Westerners were busy with their day's work, and they could finally get off work.
"Hey, life here is so good!" Maupassant said.
And another Westerner also said, "Yes! Life here is so good, it's like paradise. I don't even want to go back! If you can do this for the rest of your life, of course it would be great. ”
Everyone also began to be silent, they are now employed by Datang, so they can enjoy so many benefits. However, once the five-year employment contract is over, it is the end of this life. And Datang treats them very well, both in terms of wages and benefits and benefits from this kind of work. So they can come here to work, and for them it is like becoming a great aristocrat in the West.
If they were to go back to the West now and live the same life as before, they would probably not be able to accept it. After all, this is also the truth of frugality and luxury, and they have only lived this life for a day, so they have all begun to "**". If one day such a good life is deprived, then I am afraid that they are really going crazy.
"If I do well, will I be able to sign a contract with Datang again in five years?" Someone immediately said.
"yes!"
Everyone began to wonder, if they could do well, would they be able to continue to sign a contract with the Datang Government five years later, so that they could continue to enjoy this kind of benefit? Such a good life is a life that everyone wants, so they have relied on the excellent living conditions here and don't want to go back.
These Westerners don't have any idea of leaving their homeland, they all want to pursue a better life. And they were able to come thousands of miles to the East to pan for gold, which is enough to show their courage. If Datang can give them a better life, then what can't they do in the East all their lives? Anyway, these guys are all mothers who have milk, and whoever gives them a good life and good treatment, they are willing to accept anyone to be hired. This is not surprising, even among the Chinese, there are many people who will have this idea, whoever gives wealth will follow whom. (To be continued!)
