Chapter 592 [German Diary]
After ordering so many dishes, Yang Nianzhong ordered a large barrel of German dark beer, these beers are all cold, eating Sichuan cuisine is spicy and sweaty, drinking a large glass of cold dark beer, it feels cool.
In particular, a few rough old men ate together, cheered loudly, you toast me, I toast you, eat meat, and gnaw on the bones for more than an hour, and then in the Year of the Goat, including Adams, the Great Bear, all lay on their chairs.
called the waiter, walked in with the bill and looked at the bill, this meal cost nearly 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the food and drink are really refreshing, Yang Nianzhong has not been so cool for a long time.
But as soon as he opened the wallet, Yang Nianzhong was dumbfounded, there was no money in his wallet except for a 100 dollar, all of them were taken away by his mother, and the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law took their own cards and used their own money to spend, and Yang Nianzhong had $100 left in his wallet, and he couldn't even afford to pay for this meal.
Looking at the waiter standing in front of him, Yang Nianzhong was embarrassed, waved his hand and asked the waiter to go out first, and then looked at Adams and Big Bear who were lying on both sides of him.
"I said, you two, there is a very difficult problem to solve, I hope you can help."
Adams felt strange, and looked back at his boss Yang Jianzhong and asked. "What's wrong with the boss? Then you've lost something. ”
Yang Nianzhong shook the empty wallet in his hand and said helplessly. "It's not that I lost something, but I was robbed by someone, my mother robbed my bank card, the cash is gone, I can't afford to pay for this meal, you two can solve it."
Adams wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, the big bear on the side didn't care about the laughter, and while laughing, he took out a wallet from his trouser pocket, slapped it on the table, and pushed it in front of Yang Nianzhong and said generously.
"I thought it was a big deal, boss, this is my wallet to use casually, I don't have any other requirements, no matter how much money you use, you have to pay me back three times."
Yang Nianzhong looked at the triumphant bear and gritted his teeth and scolded. "Okay, you big bear, are you lending usury? Loan sharks are not as expensive as yours, spend one for three dollars, how can you say that you can't pay back 10 times. ”
Big Bear blinked, shook his head and said. "That's not easy, because I consulted with Mrs. Anne, and Mrs. Anne told me that if you lend money to someone and make them pay back three times the interest, the court supports that."
"If you ask him to repay 10 times the interest, then the court will not support it to prove that you are a loan shark, I am a law-abiding person, why should I break the law? If you want to use it, you don't need to pull it down. ”
Yang Nianzhong was angry and angry, Annie said that you are okay with Da Xiong, a simple-minded and well-developed guy, why are you talking about so many legal issues? Make this guy smarter.
In fact, this is all a joke, if Yang Nianzhong really repays three times the money, he wouldn't dare to ask for it, after settling the account with Da Xiong's wallet, the three of them dangled out sideways like crabs, and then walked around the antique street in Hong Kong.
Because the things in the hands of those people who set up the stalls are really impossible to see, even the little white rabbit big-headed dolls made of white porcelain that children play with have been made out and sold as antiques. Do you think you can want this thing? Good things don't sell at street stalls, so this time in the Year of the Goat, we shifted our focus to the shops.
Shopping one by one, Yang Nianzhong looked very carefully, it was not early to see the afternoon time, Yang Nianzhong came to a store, and when he entered the door, he saw that it was actually a place that sold those antique books.
These antique books are both Oriental and Western, and the Eastern ones are thread-bound books, which are sealed in blue boxes one by one, and the Western books are placed in the kraft book covers.
Yang Nianzhong even saw a complete set of villain books, which reminded Yang Nianzhong of the set of villain books that his mother gave him an 8-year-old gift when he was a child, but unfortunately, the 8-year-old gift was brought to school by Yang Nianzhong for his friends to watch.
After looking at it for a few days, he casually threw it into the box where he changed clothes, just in time for the summer vacation of that year, the corridor of the school leaked, and it happened to leak on the row of iron boxes where Yang Nianzhong was changing.
After the start of school, Yang opened the box in your eyes, good guy A set of villain books that Yue Fei has passed on are all rotten into mud, and the green hair can grow more than an inch long. It's just such a set of baby-like villain books that are rotten into mud, 9-year-old Yang Nianzhong took this set of books home and was sad for a while, and under the comfort of his mother, it was a little better.
In fact, Yang Nianzhong didn't know that the set of Yue Fei's villain books given to him by his mother was bought at a high price from the injured hand of a Chinese in San Francisco, and it was worth $15,000 that year.
When I saw that there were villain books in this antique book sales store, I sold them, but unfortunately, none of these villain books were in full edition, either missing the first or the fourth.
Yang Nianzhong took Adams and Nobita around the store twice, and actually saw a black book on the counter, with a golden cross painted on the black cover, Yang Nianzhong asked the salesperson to take out the black book and look through it, it was actually a diary written in German.
Don't forget Yang Nianzhong's wife, Anne is of German descent, although Anne grew up in the United States, when Anne was young, her parents began to teach Anne to speak German, read German books, and write German characters.
After meeting Yang Nianzhong, the husband and wife taught each other their own languages when they were fine, Yang Nianzhong taught Anne to learn Chinese, Anne taught Yang Nianzhong to learn German, and Yang Nianzhong even taught himself Russian.
To be honest, Yang Nianzhong is not a superman, nor is he a language genius, in addition to English and Chinese, he has learned two knives in other languages, and there is no problem with common language dialogue, but it is a little difficult to understand the other party's text.
What's more, the letters of this German diary are extremely complicated, just like when we write ligatures, we need to carefully identify them in order to understand the letters on them. I looked at the date, and the earliest time I wrote my diary was in 1917, and the latest date was December 28, 1941.
If Yang Nianzhong is not mistaken, the time when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong during World War II seems to be December 25, 1941.
In other words, the owner of this diary stayed on the third day of Hong Kong's occupation by the Japanese army, and as soon as he saw that it was written in German so fluently, Yang Nianzhong could judge that the owner of the diary must be a German. As for why this German came to Hong Kong, and why did the diary he carried with him stay in Hong Kong? Three days after the occupation, there was no further writing.
Could it be that the owner of this diary had some accident? was killed by the Japanese army that year, if this is the case, this diary still has a bit of commemorative value, if there are some important events recorded in it, Yang Nianzhong is even more interested.
So don't look at the price of this diary is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, Yang Nianzhong did not hesitate to let Nobita choose to pay in US dollars, walked out of this antique book store with this diary, and took a taxi straight to the Peninsula Hotel.
Don't you really say that Hollywood Antique Street is very close to the Peninsula Hotel, and it took less than 10 minutes to arrive at the hotel, Yang Nianzhong hurriedly returned to the room to see that his mother and Anne had not returned.
