Section 2 Amazing
While thinking about the problem, Wu Feng's eyes were also casually looking around. The area of the second floor is quite large, enough to accommodate two or three hundred people to drink tea at the same time, and more than a dozen tea doctors have sweat handkerchiefs on their shoulders and carry kettles, skillfully passing through the crowd, which seems to be at ease. The tea customers upstairs should seem to be slightly more local, as it is right next to the residential area of Qingyang South City. However, there are also several inns on both sides of this tea house, so there are many foreign tourists who rest and drink tea here.
The two middle-aged men on the front left side were talking quietly in a low voice, and the language they used might not be understood by the locals next to them, but Wu Feng, who had spent some time in the Western Continent, knew that they spoke Lania, the most common language in the Western Continent. Lania is the basis of the Chinese languages of the Western Continent, and although the languages of the Western Continent are different, they are all developed from Lania, but some local slang and pronunciation are different.
At a glance, these two knew that they were Caucasian people from the Western Continent, with blue eyes and yellow hair, but their clothes looked a little shabby, and their faces were full of dust. Due to the large number of immigrants from the central and western continents in the past two years, the white race in Qingyang City is also relatively common, and the image of the two is not eye-catching.
The younger man was comforting his companion: "John, don't be sad, we should be happy that we have finally arrived here." β
"Well, I don't understand the language here, and I've run out of entanglements, so what should I do now? Oh, by the way, Carl, what's the news that you've been out for so long this afternoon?" the companion was a thin man with a worried face.
"Of course, there is good news. I went to the administrative office of the yamen in the city to find out, the people here are really enthusiastic, I heard that we came here from afar to make a living, so I asked what skills we have, I said that I can make wine and carpentry, said that you can smelt iron, they all said that now there are new factories opening everywhere in the city and outside the city, and every day there are many bosses who recruit skilled workers in the employment agency under the administrative office, and they want us to go there every morning, and persuade me not to rush to apply, but to compare more and choose a job with a higher salaryγ I walked around there and saw a lot of people coming to recruit workers, and I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I didn't bother to look too much and came back. The man named Carl spoke, his eyebrows fluttering.
The man named John listened to Carl's introduction, and his spirits were a little more lifted, and he quickly asked, "Can they understand us too?"
"There were special interpreters, Lania spoke better than I did, and I met a few people from Hansen's allies looking for work there, and I greeted them. And I think the Tang language on their side is not very difficult to learn, I have learned a few sentences. After saying that, Karl said a few simple words of Tang language.
"Hmph, you have a lot of energy to play these now, tomorrow we will go to find a job and settle down, I also heard the owner of the inn tell me that if we can pass the credit assessment of the local political axe, we can use the credit guarantee of the local political axe to any bank here, they are called Qianzhuang, and obtain a certain amount of loan. It's not much, but at least it's enough to sustain the whole family for a few weeks. John seemed much more mature.
"I also know this, in the yamen, they have already told me. If we have a regular job, we can get a local household registration in a month, and then we can apply for a low-cost house to rent a political axe, and after a year, we can also apply for a loan to buy land and build a house. When the time comes, the two of us will be able to live together again. "Carl is obviously much more optimistic and is already looking forward to a better tomorrow.
"Don't think about good things, how much does it cost to buy land and repair a house? You want to repair a house in a year, don't dream. The child is about to study, doesn't it cost money? If you rent a house, you have to buy some furniture, otherwise the whole family will sleep on the floor? If you don't save two dollars, what if you get sick?" John asked Carl a few words in a row, and Karl stammered.
After a pause, Carl returned to his optimistic appearance: "I heard that almost all the schools here are run by political axes, and the fees are very low, and ordinary people can afford to study. I don't believe it, but with our strength and skill, we can't support our family? The people at the agency told me that skilled workers are very good, and their wages are much higher than those of ordinary people. β
John looked at his companion with a confident look, knowing that his partner had been this optimist since he was a child, so he had to shake his head, "Okay, okay, everything will wait until we find a job tomorrow, and it's best to find a workshop that can manage our family's residence." β
A wisp of worry was also diluted by the conversation between the two people next to him, it has been a long time since I heard pure Lania, recalling my youth at the University of Heidelberg, the past that was already a little vague clearly came to mind, and I don't know how the former students are now, maybe they have been working hard for their own goals.
"Come on, come on!" suddenly burst into an uproar in the already noisy teahouse.
Wu Feng, who was immersed in the past, was suddenly interrupted by this sudden shout, he turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from with some annoyance, and saw that the front of the hall that was originally crowded with tea customers had been vacated, revealing a vacant space, and a tea doctor brought a high chair and placed it in it, followed by a tall and thin old man wearing a traditional Tang robe.
The old man held a piece of town wood in his left hand, and a large black folding fan in his right hand, shook it three times, and climbed the high chair unhurriedly, followed by Dr. Cha carrying a high table in front of the old man sitting on the chair.
Wu Feng knew at a glance that it must be a storyteller, the most common entertainer in teahouses and taverns across the empire.
However, since the empire has produced several quite famous storytellers in recent decades, storytellers in various places have caused a sensation, and the status of storytellers has been significantly improved, the most famous are the four people of "Dongliu Xitang, South Xie and North Wang". East Liuliu Zhongyuan, West Tang Tang Guozhong, South Xie Yixuan, North Wang Shifu. Liu Zhongyuan was mainly active in the East China Sea and Jiangnan area, Tang Guozhong walked in Heshuo and Guanxi areas, Xie Yixuan was active in Yanjing, Beiyuan and Yanyun areas, and Wang Shifu took Wuhu, Sanjiang and Tiannan counties as performance areas. However, in recent years, these four people have rarely appeared to perform in person, and at most their own apprentices and grandchildren have performed on stage.
It seems that this old man is also a well-known storyteller in the local area, otherwise there would not be such a big shelf.
"Brother Feng, why did you come here alone to drink tea?" The beautiful voice came from behind him, and he didn't look back and knew that it was his pillow person Guan Yingying, how could this little girl find here?
Guan Yingying sat beside Wu Feng unceremoniously, and a burst of rose fragrance came from her nose.
Wu Feng knew that this was Yingying's favorite flower oil, which was imported from the Grand Duchy of Sophia, the Hansen Alliance of the Western Continent, and the empire did not produce this kind of thing, and the price was extremely expensive. This kind of flower oil is made of a large number of fresh rose petals through a special method of refining, and then refined through an extremely complex process, which not only maintains the rich floral fragrance of roses, but also is quite long-lasting, even in the female surnames of the upper class of the Western Continent countries, it is also a rare item, and it is even rarer among the female surnames of the upper class of the empire.
This was a small banquet held by a famous merchant group in the Western Continent to thank Guan Yingying for the warm reception of the Northwest County Political Axe. Because the businessmen he was familiar with had introduced him as a parent official in a place, Li Wufeng never accepted gifts from the people in his own territory or the people who worked in his territory, and no one was an exception, and the same was true for the women around him. But everyone has a love for beauty, especially the young and beautiful female surname, although this businessman is from the Western Continent, but he also understands the truth that women are allowed to please themselves, so he gave Guan Yingying a bottle of flower oil as he liked, which was called a propaganda advertisement, not a sale.
Originally, Guan Yingying didn't want to accept it, this kind of thing has happened a lot, but the refreshing aroma of the bottle immediately touched Guan Yingying's heart, but she also knew the rules set by her lover, so she had to look at Wufeng with longing eyes, but Wufeng accepted it generously on behalf of Yingying, and gave back a valuable porcelain afterwards.
Guan Yingying's beautiful face and touching mixed-race style immediately attracted the attention of almost all the men in the teahouse, even the indifferent young man who had been sitting opposite was no exception, but Guan Yingying was used to such a scene, and sat beside Wufeng generously, and motioned to Dr. Tea, who was standing on the side, to serve himself a bowl of tea, and Dr. Tea nodded and walked away like waking up from a dream.
A whisper immediately sounded beside Wu Feng, obviously talking about the good fortune of the man next to him, and even the two middle-aged businessmen behind him and the two people from the Western Continent were envious.
Wu Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had planned to enjoy civilian life quietly, but he didn't expect that his butt would become the focus of everyone's attention in the teahouse before he was hot.
"Well, Yingying, how did you get here?" Wu Feng asked as he tried to keep his voice low, trying not to attract attention as much as possible.
"On the way back, I saw Xue Jinzhong and a few of them wearing civilian clothes, sneaking around on the street, so I went to ask them where they were doing, and they told me that you came here alone, so I came over to take a look. Yingying also realized that she had become the focus of everyone, and lowered her head and answered quietly.
"Oh, I'm out for a walk, I don't want to be disturbed, so I'm more relaxed by myself. Wu Feng picked up the tea that Dr. Tea had just made for Yingying, blew it gently, and then handed it to her.
"Then you should also bring the Qin family's sister or Yunyi's sister. By the way, Brother Feng, I'm not bothering you, am I?"
Looking at the charming face of the jade man in front of him, with blue eyes and red hair, and plump red lips, the charming aura unique to the young woman disturbed Wu Feng's uncertainty, and in a trance, Wu Feng's eyes appeared in front of the jade man's moving ****, Wu Feng only felt that a hot air rose from the lower body, and it was out of control.
Hurriedly controlled his luck, and it was easy to suppress the impulsive desire, Wu Feng said secretly in his heart, I will not enjoy the stunner in front of me until I go back tonight. Although Guan Yingying has long been her own forbidden body, her little child's heart and surname that will never grow up have never changed, this may be the most attractive thing about her besides her wonderful body, Wu Feng thought secretly.
Seeing that her lover was a little distracted, and her eyes showed a familiar light, Guan Yingying's face also turned red, she knew her lover too well, and pushed Wufeng's arm a little shyly, "Brother Feng, people are asking you." Then he said in a barely audible voice, "Death, go back at night, and do whatever you want." β
