"How long will Daddy have to wait?"

"Let you wait, what are you anxious about!"

Among the five local government employee leaders, there is a father and son from the Zhili area.

's father is a little showman, but unfortunately because of an article, he was accused of slandering Emperor Daoguang, and the whole family was imprisoned together, and he was beheaded after the autumn.

Luck says it's good or not, it's not bad.

didn't wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading, he met Emperor Tongzhi came to power and granted amnesty to the world.

It's a pity that the wife and children in the family, except for this talented father and the son who was born strong and well-born and nicknamed "Niu Dan", did not survive the prison and died in prison.

Of course, as a Xiucai who "insinuated" to frame Emperor Daoguang, his family's "amnesty" was not directly acquitted, but was sent to California, USA to work as an employee.

To put it nicely, he called at the employees, and if he didn't say it well, he was "a slave who built the railway".

Fortunately, I have a little pen and ink, and my son is strong and can help him work, in short, it is slightly better than the bottom of the ground to live a little better.

I have read books for a few more years, and I have learned English with a little brighter than a pure "mud leg" head, and I have no problem with general conversation.

The other four people are also very similar, they are all "labor prisoners" who have committed crimes in the Celestial Empire and were sent in, most of them have a little bit of pen and ink or are gifted in language and dealing with people, they can speak English, and they are quite prestigious among the employees of the Celestial Empire.

Niu Dan took the lead in hunting several jaguars on the way to Texas en masse for the local employees.

The employees of the Dichao Dynasty thought that he was a "tiger hero", so they entered this luncheon that did not quite agree with his identity.

The kind of laborers who were arrested purely as strong laborers were all "sick countrymen" written by a group of militant literati, and they were all the most muddy people who lived well, and they only knew that they would build roads well for fear of being whipped.

This is not their own fault, but they were born under Lafayette, born in feudalism, and their families have no money for them to study, so they really have no choice.

Everyone present, except for the cow eggs, knew that Tom Smith was here to set up the score.

The dinner of the earth dynasty came at the end, and the coffee seat was the largest.

The longer you wait, the heavier the coffee will be.

About six people arrived, and after waiting for more than two hours, according to the understanding of these places, it was an hour.

Tom slowly entered the private room.

Among the six people present, except for Niu Dan, they all warmly welcomed Tom in, and they all sat down for Tom.

The cow egg is also shaken, but it is obviously slower, and the movement is relatively stiff, it should be a few "elders" who are learning now.

Tom also waited a few seconds for the six of them to slowly return the salute and apologize verbally.

As a superior, how can you respond to your subordinates in a hurry, isn't this out of the box?

"It's really made you wait for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Where, where, we have just arrived, a plate of tea is only slightly sipped, you are really here."

"Then let's sit down and talk?"

"Please."

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys should sit down first."

That's right, Niu Dan is also ready to sit down, this is the first time he has made such a comfortable and high-end Taishi chair, of course he wants to sit for a while.

Niu Dan was just about to sit down when he was kicked hard by his talented father, and Niu Dan remembered what his father said before eating and didn't dare to sit down.

After Tom slowly sat down, the other six people sat down, and the meal had just begun.

"Lord Tom, your official words are really good, better than the official I saw in my hometown."

"Where, where, it's just an interest, after learning a little bit, it's definitely not as good as those of you who have read poetry and books."

"I don't think so, I decided that if you go to participate in the imperial examination, you will at least be a champion."

"False praise and false praise ......"

On this empty table of the Eight Immortals, there was nothing but a few small teacups.

The seven were not in a hurry except for the cow eggs, and began a period of chatting and complimenting Tom.

"Before serving, after sitting for so long, the pasta is soft and soft and stomachy, and the dishes in the back are also appetizing."

"Your Excellency is right!"

Tom clapped his hands, and seven women carefully selected from all over the United States, wearing "super high fork" cheongsams made by Tom combined with the memories of his previous life, walked in with seven bowls of noodles.

"Your bowl is not ordinary, when I was a master for the county lord before, I saw a royal bowl on the offering table in the county lord's study, and I feel inferior to yours."

This bowl is also exquisite, most of them are specially obtained by Tom from the French, and Tom's bowl is even more unusual, it is smuggled out from the official kiln of the local dynasty, and it is a serious "tribute".

After the former master recognized it at a glance, he seized the opportunity and patted the sycophants first.

Tom didn't reply, picked up a bowl of noodles with chopsticks, and ate it with noodles.

There are not many noodles in each bowl, only one or two chopsticks, but the noodles inside are very particular.

Tom's bowl of noodles is soft and refreshing, and it is cooled in advance, together with the fat but not greasy beef noodles, one bite goes directly into the stomach, and finally a mouthful of the noodle soup with just the right temperature, which is really heartwarming.

At the beginning, the noodles that followed Tom to the staff leader were cooked so well, but the noodles only had green onions and side dishes, and there was no meat.

The other five local government employee leaders who had just arrived in Texas boiled dough in clear water without even putting some salt.

Not to mention salty salt, the noodles are only put in the pot with warm water on one side, and to put it bluntly, it is a lump of dough that has passed the warm water on the side.

The noodle soup is freshly boiled water.

On the table, except for these seven bowls of noodles, even the teacups were removed.

"As soon as this side is in the stomach, my heart is also steady."

"Move the chopsticks, eat together, don't leave the soup down, that's bone broth, good thing."

"Eat this bowl of noodles, and we will be good brothers in the future."

During the Manchu Dynasty, although the emperor had expressly forbade the worship of brothers of the opposite sex by "blood alliance".

However, the green forests in various places still change the law to engage in "family-style" righteousness, and there are all kinds of introductory "ceremonies", anyway, there is no blood alliance, and it is not considered a "violation", right?

Among the five people, except for Niu Dan, they all know that this piece of raw noodles and this bowl of boiling water are their tickets to the "Chinese High-level Circle" of the hero company, and this dinner is the "entrance ceremony".

This side,

Eat, gotta eat,

If you don't eat, you have to eat.

If you don't eat it, you won't have to eat in Texas in the future.

Looking at the lump of raw noodles in front of them, and then at the empty table, the four of them also moved their chopsticks, swallowed the dough, and swallowed the boiling water at the risk of scalding blisters.

But Niu Dan doesn't understand, looking at the dough that has not been cooked much, it is really impossible to eat, let alone drink boiling water.

Daddy Cow Dan gave Niu Dan a look, trying to force him to eat this lump of raw noodles and force him to drink the bowl of boiling water.

Tom also looked at this strong man who was praised as a "tiger hero" by the employees of the Western Territory.

"What, isn't the noodles delicious?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's that it's not cooked at all, how can you eat uncooked noodles?"

"Oh, you want to eat cooked noodles as soon as you come up? So why are you? Eating, especially eating well, depends on one's own. ”

"I'm very capable, we met several big worms along the way, all of which I rushed up to kill my brothers, and the big worm I could hit with a slap fainted directly!"

"Then you're pretty good, but I don't see it."

"What do you want to think? Before I came, I said my father, follow you to have good food to eat, a good daughter-in-law to beg, you can do anything you want me! ”

"Okay, come on, remove the bowl and serve me a bowl of noodles again, it's enough."

A bowl of knife-shaved noodles with a full amount of beef noodles was served again, but it was still in front of Tom, not the cow egg.

"There are more than a dozen of my bodyguards outside the door, you go out and pick at will, hit one, this bowl of noodles will belong to you, what I will eat in the future, what you eat."

"Okay."

Niu Dan's father can't care about this, this kind of thing, after it is lifted to the surface, unless the "Green Forest Boss" asks you to say it, others can't interject.

After about a minute or two, Niu Dan walked in with a blue nose and swollen face, stretched out his bloody right hand, and made a three.

"I single-handedly overturned three people in a row."

"This bowl of noodles is yours."

Ignoring the blood stains on his body and the bruises on his face, Niu Dan gulped down the knife-cut noodles in the bowl.

The boss has the same knife to cut the face, the middle thickness is thin and the edge is thin, and the shape is like a willow leaf; The entrance is slippery and the inner tendon is soft but not sticky, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, but it's a pity that the American pig can't do it, otherwise the pork noodles are better.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's delicious..."

"Want to eat better?"

"Is there anything better?"

"It's just a bowl of noodles, follow me and make sure you eat and drink spicy"

"I still need a daughter-in-law."

"Haha, I'll give you a daughter-in-law now."

Cow Dan looked up at Tom, with a long noodle hanging from his mouth, and this honest appearance amused Tom, who had been fighting between life and death for a year.

Tom is more comfortable with this group of local court employees than ordinary Dixies, and the unique appearance and the fact that he has just arrived in the United States for a short time make it difficult for them to collude with Yankees, who have a completely different language and culture.

As soon as Tom waved his hand, a Chinese waitress in a cheongsam came over, and after a few commands, the woman left, and soon came in with a cook dressed in white and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Lao Xi, this is the brother who will mess with me in the future, called Niu Dan, and his father is also next to him."

"Your daughter is also a big one, and I don't think you can look down on the bitterness of that gang of miners, and I don't think I can look down on it, and if my cook's son-in-law digs coal, it will be a shame."

"Today, I'll be a matchmaker, marry your daughter to Niu Dan, what kind of birthday or something, you look at it yourself, you set the date, and I will definitely support it when the time comes."

"The matchmaker you said, that relationship is good, I thank you for this bastard."

"We're fine."

"Then the matter is settled, and I must be called when the time comes."
