Chapter 2 Three inches are not rotten and mixed rice (ask for collection, ask for recommendation)

The sea breeze under the sun is moist and soft, and the endless sea will make many people indulge in the vastness of the sea, and on the deck of the "Yuexiu" steamship, you can see many passengers strolling on the deck, sometimes looking at the sea scenery, but compared to the first and second class decks of people walking and leisurely, the third class passengers just come out to breathe.

Compared with the crowded third-class deck, on the upper first-class deck, there are not many people, on the long deck, but there are only a dozen people, and most of them are foreigners, since the gentleman in a suit, there are also women in gorgeous long skirts, when people stroll on the deck, a young man in a shirt walks towards the aft terrace, and the people who meet on the deck along the way turn their eyes to this young man from time to time, and occasionally some gentlemen in top hats will take off their hats to salute him when they pass by him, And he would nod his head back.

On the first-class deck, Asians are rare, although the "Yuexiu" steamship sails on the Shensui line, and the passengers are mainly Qing people, even so, the first class is rarely seen Qing people, and most of the rich people in the Qing country will choose the second class, not to mention, this tall Asian will attract everyone's attention, and everyone will cast a curious look at him, and at the same time curious, when he sees his clothes, he feels a little strange, which is completely different from ordinary Qing people.

For some reason, he was wearing only a white shirt on his upper body, and his lower body was a decent black trousers, and although the black leather shoes on his feet were a little dirty, they still shone in the sun, and his clothes and leather shoes all showed exquisite workmanship, and if he wore a proper dress, no one would suspect that he was a rich gentleman, but ...... Obviously, this person's situation does not seem to be good.

The white style of the extremely novel silk shirt with a little wrinkles, and even some gray stains, and his face looked a little pale, which added an indescribable wolf bèi look to this person, but although he looked a little wolf, no one could feel the wolf bèi on his body.

Maybe he was a wealthy gentleman, or maybe he was shipwrecked when he came?

People were speculating in their hearts, and in the midst of people's speculation, Tang Haoran looked at the chimney of the ship with great interest, and the chimney was spewing black soot.

"Yuexiu!"

Thinking about the name of the ship in his heart, although a day had passed, Tang Haoran could still feel the shock in his heart, and the shock was not the name of the ship, but the time.

October 15, 1889!

No, it's already the 16th!

1889!

What happened in 1889?

Perhaps, Tang Haoran does not know about the major events of this year, but what happened in the next few decades has long been engraved into the memory of every Chinese.

Five years later, in 1894, the Sino-Japanese War! The Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, the Gengzi Revolution in 1900, and the Treaty of Xincho in 1901......

One by one, unforgettable historical terms are tumbling in Tang Haoran's mind, and at the same time, there is a sentence that is famous in history, and even the sentence written in the edict by no one before or after the ancients is the measure of China's material resources and the joy of the country......

muttering this "famous saying" on his lips, looking at the people around him who should have only been stored in historical photos or movies, Tang Haoran only felt that his heart was boiling, since he has come to this big era now, if he doesn't make a big career, how can he be worthy of God's "favor"?

"Gollum!"

At the moment when that ambition emerged, the sound from the abdomen still brought Tang Haoran back to reality from his imagination.

"Let's go eat first!"

I don't want to eat, and the craving for food further stimulates the empty stomach. Because his stomach was rattling with hunger, even Tang Haoran's stomach wall was a little painful. It seems that he had heard that if there is nothing in the stomach for a long time, the stomach walls will rub against each other, and eventually induce stomach ulcers.

"I don't want to do this, let's think about how to clean up those foreign devils first!"

The desire for food made Tang Haoran think in his mind about some interesting things he had heard about in Europe and the United States, and even the European court anecdotes of this era.

Although he didn't have to live in the smelly third-class cabin on the ground floor, the merchant ship was not obliged to provide food to Tang Haoran, and the captain Ali Dean kindly agreed that he would work as a coal worker in the boiler room on the ship, but he still refused without hesitation, although he didn't know the situation in the boiler room on the ship, but it was not necessarily much easier than in front of the iron-making blast furnace.

Now, I have to eat on my own.

", I knew I would cross, I should have bought a watch!"

Enduring the hunger in his stomach and rubbing his stomach, Tang Haoran secretly complained in his heart, once upon a time, in countless online novels, the watch was the protagonist's first pot of gold, and countless characters who pointed out the Spring and Autumn Period and talked about the rivers and mountains did not all rely on him to make a fortune, not to mention the beauty, and even won the country in the end! Either become a generation of heroes, or become a generation of heroes!

It's good to be yourself, take a mobile phone as a watch all day long, a typical sling!

As a result, I finally won the jackpot now, and the result is ......

"Haha......"

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Zhao Fengchang heard a burst of laughter in the restaurant, and in that burst of laughter, he could hear some foreign languages, and only when he entered the restaurant did he see that on a large dining table, there were more than 20 foreigners sitting, and he was about to instruct the waiter to prepare a meal, but he was attracted by a short-haired young man at the table, and the reason why he was attracted by it was not because he was a Chinese person, nor the dress on his body, but because he was the protagonist at that table, and all the foreigners were looking at him. Listen to what he says there in fluent English.

Although Zhao Fengchang, who didn't know English, didn't know what he was talking about, he was very impressed by his ability to coax this group of foreigners, so he greeted the waiter on the side.

"Who is this man?"

"Back to adults, this person's name is Tang Haoran, and he was rescued from the sea by the captain yesterday, and the "Yaridan" he was on was shipwrecked! ”

Oh?

The waiter's words immediately aroused Zhao Fengchang's excitement, looking at Tang Haoran, who was like a fish in water among a group of foreigners, he felt even more surprised, he did not deal with foreigners less when he was in Guangzhou, naturally knew that those foreigners looked down on Chinese in their bones, but this shipwreck had just been rescued, so he fought so hotly with foreigners, and was invited by them to dine at the same table, this means of dealing is rare.

The Chinese waiter in the restaurant saw that this Lord Zhao seemed to be interested in this person, so he hurriedly flattered him.

"Yesterday I heard that this Mr. Tang is a graduate of a prestigious university in the United States, and has traveled to Europe, can speak foreign languages from more than a dozen countries, yesterday, after he was rescued, but only chatted with the captain for a while, the captain let him live in the second class, and he was specially allowed to eat with those foreigners in the first-class restaurant, yesterday, today, he eats with those foreigners to pay for ,......"

As he spoke, the waiter looked at Tang Haoran and admired it, looking like he couldn't wait to become him.

"Oh!"

Softly, Zhao Fengchang looked at Tang Haoran, the more he looked, the more curious he became, but he couldn't understand English, so he could only listen to it on the sidelines, seeing that this person was there talking non-stop, dancing with his hands, those foreigners nodded frequently, showing a knowing smile from time to time, and it could be seen that those foreigners seemed to appreciate this person very much.

At this moment, a person also sat down, Zhao Fengchang turned his head to look at him, and hurriedly said.

"Tang Sheng, you know more than a dozen Chinese, do you know what he is talking about?"

When entering the restaurant, Gu Hongming also noticed the young man sitting at the long table, and he naturally understood what he was saying because he knew more than a dozen Chinese.

"Isn't it also some kind of Deegens and Shakespeare?"

Zhao Fengchang said with a smile that when he entered the scene, he talked about Deegens, Shakespeare and Newton with Xiang Shuai. This will look at Tang Haoran, who also knows more than a dozen Chinese in the mouth of this waiter, and directly start the old matter of Gu Hongming.

"He's not talking about Dickens or Shakespeare......"

Gu Hongming's joke was heard by his colleague, but he just made him smile slightly, and then looked at the young man with interest, and said with a smile.

"It's just some funny jokes, although they are a little vulgar, but this person is also a little talented, especially his experience of traveling in various countries, which is indeed rare among the people."

At this moment, the banquet had already dispersed, and when Zhao Fengchang watched the man shake hands with those foreigners and say goodbye, he unintentionally saw a little smugness flashing between his eyebrows, and he became even more curious.

"I'm so tired!"

When he walked out of the restaurant, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh, and even wiped his sweat with his hands.

Those gringos are not like yesterday, just listen to their own jokes, and the difference from yesterday is that they will always laugh and talk to themselves about their country's customs and customs, although when they were in college, they debated the modern history of Europe with others, and often went to travel forums, so they naturally know the famous places and beauties of the world, but in front of a group of authentic British, French and Germans in the late 80s of the 19th century, talking about the customs and customs of the countries and even current affairs in the 19th century, it is not looking for death.

Thanks to his understanding of history, in the end, he not only persuaded them one by one, but barely got through, and even the Englishman Andre sent him a job offer.

", it's not easy to eat! If I didn't have anything to eat, I wouldn't have gotten mixed up with this......"

As soon as he walked to the door, Zhao Fengchang, who originally wanted to get acquainted with this young man, happened to hear this sentence, and immediately laughed, and the laughter in his ears made Tang Haoran stunned, but turned his head and saw Tang ...... No, it was supposed to be the man in the horse coat standing by the door, smiling at himself.

"You were blinding those foreigners before?"

Zhao Fengchang looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, this will be his understanding, this young man and a group of foreigners are talking about it all for the sake of eating, and the reason is that he is penniless.
