Chapter 116

It feels so good to have a woman taking care of it, at least not like it used to be. When I got up, I was a pillar of optimus, and I didn't even owe a place to unload.

After getting up in the morning to practice, Li Xiao began to eat lunch comfortably. I vomited one night yesterday, and my stomach was already empty. Tokugawa Chihime, who had a slightly ruddy face, knelt in front of Li Xiao and added rice to Li Xiao's rice bowl.

An English official, a Japanese wife, a French lover, a German repairman, and an Italian gardener. To have such a life is heaven on earth.

I haven't tasted anything else, but my wife in Japan is still good. However, reminiscent of the later island country action movies, it seems that repairmen, gardeners, and food delivery have to be guarded against. It looks like backyard security is on the agenda.

The dish is simple, a plate of meat, a plate of fish, and two greens. The taste is very light, and at first glance it is the craftsmanship of Tokugawa Chihime. Li Xiao doesn't like Japanese food very much, but now that his stomach is empty, he can only do this.

Gobbled up a bowl of rice, which was considered to fill my stomach. I was thinking about whether to find a cook and train Tokugawa Chihime.

Walking into the courtyard, there was a machine gun on the roof. On the high courtyard wall, there are soldiers patrolling non-stop. Jiang Chaozong stood on the roof like an owl, turning his head from time to time and looking around vigilantly.

This guard company commander is still qualified, and looking at his red eyes, he knows that he hasn't slept all night. Seeing Li Xiao in the yard, this guy slid down from the roof with a sliding rod.

"Sleep for a while, you can boil a few nails out of iron alone." Li Xiao patted Jiang Chaozong's shoulder, looking disgusting that the leader cared about his subordinates.

"Sleep! The deputy company commander had to be on duty in the middle of the night, and I only took over this morning. The sentry posts are also rotated every half hour according to your orders, so that all soldiers can sleep. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiao nodded, the army is like this. It takes a whole set of mechanisms to work, and the efforts of one or two people alone will be exhausting.

"How's Huzi?"

"After the tiger master got up in the morning, his head hurt. I guess I'm asleep again! ”

"Oh! Then let's go out for a walk. Coming to Macau for the first time in two lifetimes, Li Xiao was curious about what this place, which is famous for its gambling, is like now.

Today's weather is good, windy but not too windy. It is slightly cool and comfortable to blow on people. This kind of weather is not common in Macau in July.

As soon as I went out, a large group of people followed. The people on the street were scared and ran around, and the Zheng family's guards also came out. drove pedestrians like wolves, for fear that others would not know that they were local snakes. What a fucking shit!

Li Xiao remembered a famous joke about a certain leader going to the supermarket to inspect. When he saw the meat seller, he immediately made a letter of concern and asked, "How much meat do you sell a day?" ”

The meat seller replied: "When it is good, it is more than 200 catties, and when it is bad, it is more than 100 catties." ”

The leader asked again: "Then how much meat did you sell today?" ”

The meat seller replied: "You are here today, and the supermarket is closed and no one is allowed to enter." Not a pound of meat was sold! ”

The leader was a little embarrassed: "Then I'll open a show for you today and help me cut two catties of pork belly back." ”

"You came today, the knife was confiscated and you can't cut it."

Li Xiao felt like the leader, surrounded by minions behind him. It's not much different from Nan Batian in the old movie image!

"With so many people following, what do you think." Li Xiao frowned, and Jiang Chaozong ordered to go down. The people who followed out disappeared immediately, and the Zheng family's guards also followed from a distance. Behind Li Xiao, only Jiang Chaozong followed the guards with four soldiers with short pipes and firearms!

Macau is actually quite interesting in these years, after all, there are not many buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles in these years. But in Macau, there are such buildings everywhere.

A bluestone road is even a street, and there are drainage ditches on both sides. All are made of stone with distinctly European features. Europeans like to do whatever they do, they like to do it with stones. There are also a lot of ancient names in China, but the buildings are all wood, and the quick completion is the quick completion. But even if you escape the war, you can't hide from the fierce termites.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, not many ancient buildings of the Sui and Tang dynasties have been preserved. The architecture of the Han Dynasty is even rarer. At least Li Xiao hasn't heard of where there are Han Dynasty buildings. Even if there are claims, they have been repaired many times by future generations.

Europeans are different, castles built of boulders. Sometimes it takes a generation or two, or even longer, to complete. But after repairing it, it will go through vicissitudes. Except for force majeure factors such as earthquakes, it is difficult to be destroyed.

Therefore, later generations of Chinese people sighed that the ancient castles of Europeans were old, but it is difficult for us to find the buildings of our real ancestors with a long history.

There is one thing that surprises Li Xiao, that is, it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor. The families here live in brick houses, and thatched huts are rare. Unlike in the north, many of the houses are thatched. Even Jingshi is no exception, there are a series of thatched houses not far from Desheng Gate.

I heard that last year the water ran out and burned a lot of people to death.

The brick houses here are also different, and the roof tiles are bonded with cement, which looks very sturdy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiao figured out that this is Macau Island. Typhoons are a regular tourist here, and they come here almost every year.

Thatched huts are easy to set up. But it can blow up and fall apart quickly, let alone fight against typhoons. Even if the sea breeze is a little stronger in the rainy season, it is estimated that it can blow the thatched house away.

Although they are all brick houses, there is still a big difference between the rich and the poor. The poor have small doors and small yards, and the rich have tall watchtowers. The courtyards of each house were built like turrets, and many of them had distinctly Roman columns and arches, which were clearly Western.

It can be seen that public order in Macao has become very problematic in recent years. Otherwise, you don't need to build your home like a turret.

There are all kinds of traders on the streets, most of them dealing in porcelain, tea, and silk. After all, this is a transit point for bulk trade, and Westerners love China the most. It is said that every year in the Sino-foreign trade. China maintained a large trade surplus, and much of the silver plundered from the Americas by Spain and Portugal went into the pockets of maritime merchants.

Of course, there are also things imported from abroad to Daming, the most important of which is spices. Passing by the doors of several commercial houses, Li Xiao asked about the taste of heavy pepper noodles.

The streets are filled with people of all colors, and Li reckons that Macau may be the most cosmopolitan place in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the bulk trading houses, there are also many small vendors on both sides of the street. What makes people feel strange is that these small vendors are often people from the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to dealing in some handicrafts, most of these people are all kinds of snacks. Those who sell pastries can set up a stall, but those who sell snacks can't. They need to set up a few tables and chairs, and usually the women work in the back kitchen and the men go out to pick up customers.

I just ate too light, and I didn't feel very full. Li Xiao picked a chaos stall and sat down, and the black and thin stall owner greeted him warmly. Seeing the soldier following behind Li Xiao, the smile instantly froze on his face.

"Six bowls of chaos!" Li Xiao didn't care about his expression, and sat directly on a table where no one was.

The small chaos stall is doing well, and even found two old blacks among the diners. Li Xiao was surprised to find that the two black brothers were using chopsticks to pick up the braised soybeans in the plate and eat them. Being able to use chopsticks to such an amazing point has to be said to be an outlier among foreigners.

The boss looked at Li Xiao with some confusion, "Come to six bowls of chaos!" Li Xiao gestured to this guy with a six.

As a result, this guy was still confused, and his damn thing simply couldn't understand what Li Xiao was saying.

It is no wonder that many people have lived within ten or twenty miles all their lives. Li Xiao's Liaodong accent may be another language for this guy.

"Seven bowls of chaos!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, which could be regarded as solving Li Xiao's problem. Looking back, Ai Husheng was hurrying over.

"People in this place speak Cantonese, and some also speak Hakka and Teochew. If you really want to meet someone who says those words, I don't understand them. ”

Li Xiao had heard that there were many dialects in Guangdong, but he couldn't understand a single one. In his ears, there is no difference between Cantonese people and Chaoshan people or Hakka people, they don't understand it.

Fortunately, there is Ai Husheng, as long as he is there, Li Xiao doesn't seem to have to worry about translation.

The boss bowed to Li Xiao, and then quickly ran to his wife, making his wife go into chaos like a chicken.

Although I couldn't understand the speech, this chaos was really authentic. Chaos was served, and Li Xiao tasted a mouthful, which was really good. And this chaos not only tastes good, but also grows. Like dumplings in the north, it's no wonder that the black brothers also come to this small stall to eat.

Affordable, and the price estimate is reasonable. The two in-laws who sell chaos know at a glance that they are honest people. The woman is quick to wrap chaos on one side and chaos on the other. Men greet customers hard, and when there are no guests. A little girl is beside the woman, her little hands are brushing the dishes and chopsticks diligently.

With a few of his subordinates, Siri snorted and ate a large bowl of wontons. Last night's wine was all awake, and Li Xiao felt that he was now beating a tiger to death.

Ai Husheng took out a handful of Daming copper brothers' accounts from his sleeves, and the boss didn't dare to ask for it with both hands. Li Xiao looked at the Zheng family's guards standing in the distance, and had a new understanding of the Zheng family's power here.

Grabbing the boss's dry hand, Li Xiao just stuffed those copper brothers into the boss's dry claws.

The boss was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he bowed and bowed to Li Xiao. muttered something in his mouth, and Li Xiao couldn't understand it.

"Let's have a good look." Although there are only two or three streets in Macau now, it does not hinder Li Xiao's interest in shopping at all.

"No......!" Ai Husheng had just walked out more than ten meters with Li Xiao when he heard a noise behind him.

Li Xiao turned his head strangely, and saw a group of people surrounding the chaos stall just now. Li Xiao could hear the screams of women, as well as the wailing of men. Occasionally, there is the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground and shattering!

"Look at it!"

Jiang Chaozong led people to squeeze through the crowd, and Li Xiao walked in. When he saw the situation inside, he was so angry that his hair stood on end.

"Stop!" Li Xiao shouted, and the guards drew their firearms and pointed them at the field.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
