Chapter 790: How bold you say I am
At the entrance of the car, there is also a sign pasted: Ride in a civilized manner, do not insult the Chinese, and bear the consequences.
The soul ring carriage, there are still some people who are more afraid.
It's bad luck!
Zhao Chuanxin, Rebecca Levy and Yao Bing were in this carriage.
Zhao Chuanxin has always worn a top hat, which is very rare and low-key.
Not for anything else, just because there is an extra apprentice.
Yao Bing was stepping on the leather seat, pouting on the small table and reading with Rebecca Levy.
"This is your name, Yao Bing's ice." Rebecca Levy taught.
She's not stupid, but she's not amazing.
It's just that people are more stubborn and hardworking.
Especially recently, I have been crazy about learning Chinese as stimulated, and I have made rapid progress.
Yao Bing nodded, and his fingers were drawn: "Yao Bing's, Yao." β
"It's ice!" Rebecca Levy emphasized.
Yao Bing suddenly put his general seal on the word "ice".
Looking at the stunned Rebecca Levi laughed.
Rebecca Levi was helpless: "He won't study hard." β
Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "Don't worry, you should have fun at the age of playing." β
This apprentice does not focus on literature, but wants to show martial arts.
When Yao Bing heard this, he got even more carried away, took out a string of his seals, and "bolted" a small animal on the paper.
Rebecca Levi had to read and study on her own.
It's just that whenever Zhao Chuanxin is by her side, she secretly looks at Zhao Chuanxin every once in a while.
The first few times Zhao Chuanxin looked away, but this time Rebecca Levi looked up and found Zhao Chuanxin staring at her.
She felt empty in her heart, and hurriedly pretended to have something to say, and had nothing to say: "When I get to Yubin Mansion, I still make lobster sandwiches on the dining car to make money." β
In New York, she started out selling sandwiches, but gradually learned to attract merchants and make more and more money, becoming a regional manager.
Because she has a backer, no one troubles her, but makes her stubborn character play to the fullest, which really makes her earn.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "I have an errand to hand over to you." β
"What?" Rebecca Levy's eyes lit up with curiosity.
She really wanted to help Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were blazing: "There is an additional accounting office in Yubin Mansion, and I want you to be the general manager of the accounting office." β
"Ah......" Rebecca Levi was taken aback.
First, at this time, in the world, women's rights were just emerging, and the status of women was still not taken seriously, not to mention that in the Qing Dynasty, I had not heard that women could serve as officials.
Second, she is a foreigner, but she wants to be an official in China.
Thirdly, the accounting office needs to handle taxes, which is too important for the province.
"I, I can't make it......" Rebecca Levi wanted to help, but she didn't dare take the job.
"You have to do it, I want you not to lose a big son, there can't be a little error, can you do it?" Zhao Chuanxin cut the railway.
When Rebecca Levi heard him say this, she bit her lip and nodded heavily: "I can do it." β
It's not that she wants to do it, it's not that she can do it, it's that Zhao Chuanxin needs her to do it.
However, she asked worriedly: "What if the bigger officials don't allow it?" β
After all, there is no precedent.
"Hehe, I have autonomy." Zhao Chuanxin grinned. "I'm in charge!"
Just these three words, he can play with flowers.
Rebecca Levy doesn't think autonomy is understood that way, right? Autonomy doesn't mean arbitrariness, does it?
But Zhao Chuanxin, she knows.
It is estimated that whoever dares to say no will be beaten to death by him.
Come to think of it, let's do it.
Zhao Chuanxin stopped discussing this matter and took out the "Old God Codex".
[Sailing for several days, the days on the ship are boring. γ
[Today, I came to the deck. γ
[Suddenly, I saw gray-white things floating on the sea, dense and countless. γ
[I curiously salvaged one, this should be some kind of creature peeling skin, longer than a palm, the texture is like soaked paper, gray-white. γ
[I asked the craftsman: What is this?] γ
[The craftsman has a wide range of knowledge, and he explained to me: This is sea paper, the skin of some kind of creature has faded, it is a very interesting thing, and the ancients used it to write. You open it, and there's an ink sac inside. The sea paper is dried, cut and written, with a pen dipped in the ink sac, the handwriting does not blister. The most amazing thing is that with other inks and colors, it is impossible to write on sea paper. γ
Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved, and he teleported the thing.
Although the sea paper is soaked in the sea, it will not rot, and the texture is really paper-like to the touch.
He first took out the ink sac wrapped in translucent mucous membranes, flicked his fingers, and the water vapor of the sea paper evaporated.
Take a knife to cut the cylindrical sea paper, pour the black ink in the ink sac into the fused silica glass test tube, take the fountain pen and dip it in the ink, and write.
The ink is not smudged, the color is black and dark, the color is bright and rich, and it dries in an instant.
Zhao Chuanxin was surprised, and rubbed his thumb against the handwriting, with a slightly raised texture.
He remembered something and hurriedly looked at the test tube.
Sure enough, the ink taken out of the ink sac floated on the surface of the test tube and had solidified slightly.
If it is not sealed, I am afraid that it will soon become solid.
Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly cleaned up the tip of the fountain pen, otherwise it would be blocked by this thing.
Zhao Chuanxin's eyes flickered, closed the "Old God Codex", and looked out the window fixedly.
There is still some time before we get to Mukden.
He needed to transfer to the South Manchurian Railway in Mukden, to Chang-Chun Province, and then to the Middle East Railway Line to reach Yubin Province directly.
While there was still some time, Zhao Chuanxin took out another notebook and opened it on the table.
Rebecca Levi secretly looked over and saw that the book was densely packed, in addition to the words, there were all kinds of pictures.
Behind the item of the official goods bureau, there are grass tickets, fish tickets, wooden tickets, mine tickets, salt tickets, and relief tickets...... Zhao Chuanxin hit a "β" behind this column.
Rebecca Levi was curious, but didn't dare ask.
Unclear.
It's just that she understands that although Zhao Chuanxin is not in a hurry to take up the post, he has made a lot of preparations in private.
Zhao Chuanxin secretly cheered up, just waiting to give the Qing court a good look at the dogs.
The train finally arrived in Mukden.
Zhao Chuanxin was near the train station and booked a room in a hotel to rest.
The reason why it is a room is because it is not long before you have to take a car.
Rebecca Levi and Yao Bing were playing by the bed, and Zhao Chuanxin was sitting at the table by the window, the window was open, and the "Old God Codex" was opened.
Zhao Chuanxin wrote:
[I took the crew to salvage sea paper, a lot of sea paper. γ
He transported the salvaged sea paper, evaporated the water, picked up the ink sac, and stored it in the space.
The table was full of precipitated salt.
It doesn't matter if the shell of the ink sac is dry, the ink inside will not dry.
This ink, like melted plastic.
If you dip it in wood, it will not penetrate into the wood, but will harden on the surface. However, it can penetrate a little into the sea paper, and the rest is cured on the surface of the sea paper and slightly bulges to form a unique texture.
This kind of texture is something that no one in the world can imitate at this time.
Zhao Chuanxin was busy until he checked out.
The three of them took the little devil's South Manchurian railway train north.
There is a dining car on the little devil's train.
In the evening, Zhao Chuanxin took the two to the dining car to prepare something to eat.
When I went in, I saw that there were a lot of good guys.
The crowd automatically lowered their voices, but there was no crying of children, and the order was like that.
Yao Bing timidly hid behind Zhao Chuanxin, and looked at all kinds of people in suits and leather shoes in the dining car with one eye.
There is Chinese, there is the language of the devil, and there are English, German and Russian speakers.
Zhao Chuanxin lifted Yao Bing up and hugged him.
Tell him, "Remember, no matter what the occasion, don't be cowardly. Don't look at their long ghost-headed toad eyes, they are actually not human. β
Rebecca Levi laughed a lot, even though she was also a foreigner.
Zhao Chuanxin's voice was not small, which caused many people in the dining car to look at him angrily.
The brim of Zhao Chuanxin's top hat was low, and no one could see his face clearly.
Yao Bing was even more terrified when he saw these people who were either short in stature, or with high noses and deep eyes, or with dark skin, or who had drunk wine and had red faces, staring at them.
Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin no longer preached, but taught by words and deeds.
He shouted: "Spicy next door, what do you see?" Get the out of the way! β
As he spoke, he squeezed forward, and where he passed, he staggered and scolded.
Sure enough, when Yao Bing saw it, his eyes blinked, as if he had understood something.
These people look scary, they look like dogs, they scold, but in fact, they are very inward-looking, they are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they are all afraid of the master.
All bark and no bite.
Yao Bing's expression was no longer so fearful.
The dining car was almost full.
Zhao Chuanxin's rampage caused no one to give up his seat.
was thinking about brute force to grab a seat, when suddenly a Sven man in his thirties, with a long face and a shiny head, spoke: "If you don't dislike it, squeeze it with me." β
Zhao Chuanxin handed Yao Bing to Rebecca Levi and asked them to sit across from him, who sat next to the man.
Seeing that he was a Chinese, Zhao Chuanxin changed his arrogant attitude and said politely: "Thank you, brother." β
The man was surprised, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chuanxin was not blindly arrogant.
Just now, Zhao Chuanxin scolded those foreign devils, and he also said that Zhao Chuanxin was naturally short-tempered.
It turned out to be "watching the dishes and putting them off the plate".
When others look at the dishes, they are all in awe of foreign devils, and then they are in the nest. There are very few Zhao Chuanxin like this, and he came the other way around.
The man introduced himself: "In the next Zhang Shouzeng, the word Heyan." β
Zhao Chuanxin lowered his voice and said, "It's inconvenient for me to introduce here, it's better for you to call me a fisherman." β
It is a pseudonym.
Bu Yu people?
Zhang Shouzeng misunderstood.
He racked his brains and couldn't think of any celebrities with the surname Bu.
Since having Rebecca Levi by his side, Zhao Chuanxin has had a good face + management.
His beard grew again, dense and short, but the outline was excellently groomed, and it looked much more messy and delicate than before.
Because at this time, men all over the world regard beard as beauty.
Someone is waiting, and Zhao Chuanxin actually wants to scrape it clean every day.
But after all, he didn't do it himself, and he couldn't pick and choose.
It's all as Rebecca Levi wants.
Zhang Shouzeng looked at himself secretly, and saw that this person had an extraordinary appearance, with a foreign woman with him, and the child was dressed neatly and neatly, at least not from a poor family.
The waiter came over and asked Zhao Chuanxin in Japanese what he was eating.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't raise his head: "Speaking human words, what kind of bird language do you use in China, who can understand?" β
Waiter: "......"
A trace of anger flashed on his face, but he didn't dare to attack, but he didn't use Chinese, so he asked again in Russian.
Yao Bing was attracted by the master's scolding, and grabbed Rebecca Levi's hand a little nervously, looking at the waiter intently.
Zhao Chuanxin is trying to teach his apprentices how to treat the Japanese.
Zhang Shouzeng smiled bitterly and said a few words in Russian.
Then he asked Zhao Chuanxin: "There is no Chinese food here, they are all big dishes, there are salmon, sardines, steak, pork chops, curry chicken rice, tomato chicken shredded rice, ......"
At this time, the main dish in many people's mouths is Western food.
Zhao Chuanxin had to hold back, and he couldn't brush off the kindness of others, so he ordered three things according to Rebecca Levy's wishes.
Zhang Shouzeng was very talkative, and explained to Zhao Chuanxin: "Third-class passengers are not allowed to enter the dining car, and they can't afford to eat, so they generally bring their own dry food." Second-class carriages, first-class carriages, people from all over the world, Western food is simple, the preparation does not affect the capacity of the train, and it is easy to be accepted......"
At this time, the train stops.
At this time, there is no fence at the station, and anyone can get on the platform.
Countless hawkers flocked to seize the brief opportunity to hold up wooden trays and raise their throats to sell food to travelers.
"A copper plate, a big duck pear......"
"Roast chicken only needs 15 big children!"
"Rabbit meat, smoked rabbit meat......"
Whenever this happens, Yao Bing is staring at it, and he is about to cry.
Zhang Shouzeng said: "Anything else is acceptable, but don't buy that rabbit meat, many use cat meat to fill rabbit meat." β
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled.
The rabbit looked very thin after peeling the skin, and so did the cat.
But the two can still be distinguished.
He asked, "Bean buns, what do you want to eat?" β
"I, I want to eat duck pear, roast chicken, rabbit meat, cucumber, pickles, pickles, pickled meat, ......"
"What about the name of the dish?" Zhao Chuanxin was speechless. "Can you finish eating?"
"I'm done!" Yao Bing said firmly. "I'll keep it and take it back to my grandmother."
Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette, grabbed a handful of money and handed it out the window: "Three Yali pears for Yali pears, two roast chickens for roast chicken, one side for rabbit meat, and four for cucumbers......"
The handful of money, with the flick of his thumb, fell unmistakably into the hands of each hawker, and each one was just right, no more, no less.
This skill is astonishing.
Zhao Chuanxin bought a bunch of things, and brought a copy of each to Zhang Shouzeng: "Brother Heyan, please eat." β
"You can't make it ......"
Although it is not expensive, Zhang Shouzeng is still a little embarrassed.
"Make, make."
Seeing that the apprentice was going to gnaw on Yapear, Zhao Chuanxin took it and took out a knife to peel him.
With the strength of his wrist, he grasped the knife and pinched it in his hand, and the pear skin continued to hang until it was peeled off, and the whole pear skin fell on the table.
Peeled another one for Rebecca Levy, but he didn't eat it himself.
Zhang Shouzeng saw it in his eyes, and inexplicably felt that this person must not be an unknown person.
Although these hawkers have become a spectacle on the platform, after all, hygiene and quality are difficult to guarantee.
More than a decade later, these platforms will be equipped with railings, vendors will need to be licensed to enter, and those who do not comply with food regulations will not be licensed.
There will be no such chaos on the platform.
Waiting for the food to be served, Yao Bing had a pudding, Zhao Chuanxin asked for a steak, and Rebecca Levi had curry chicken rice with salmon.
During the meal, the two sides got acquainted.
Zhang Shouzeng asked, "Where are you going?" β
Zhao Chuanxin said vaguely: "Go to Changchunfu and take the Middle East Line to the north." β
"We're the same, let's not hide it, I'm also going to the north to take up my post."
"Brother Heyan is going to be an official?"
"It's insignificant, it's not worth mentioning......" Zhang Shouzeng said modestly.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't ask in detail.
Zhang Shouzeng also lit a cigarette, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Yu Ren, if you go to school in the future, you must not specialize in languages, especially Japanese and Russian, it is better to practice law and medicine." I majored in Russian, and as a result, I was always promoted to foreign affairs, and my contribution was thankless. β
To revise the Russian language, it is inevitable to negotiate with Japan and Russia.
A weak country has no diplomacy, and negotiations are a bag of anger.
Zhao Chuanxin put down the knife and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Persuade people to study medicine, the sky is thundering; Persuading people to learn the Fa is a thousand cuts. β
Zhang Shouzeng shook his hand: "......"
He pointed at Zhao Chuanxin and laughed.
Then he winced his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Is it your lady on the other side?" β
Zhao Chuanxin lit another cigarette: "No, that's my half-sister." β
"......" Zhang Shouzeng changed the topic: "The rest of the brothers are extraordinary, and when others see foreigners, they all consciously bow their heads. I only see you, and when I meet foreigners, I will speak ill of you. β
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "If you want to offend, you will do it if you don't accept it." My apprentice is a little afraid of life, and as a master, he must give him an example, learn and behave, and in the future, he will be able to ride on the neck of foreigners and. β
I blanched ......
Zhang Shouzengxin said that if every Chinese person was thorns in the face and educated future generations in this way, it is estimated that the Eight-Nation Coalition Army would not be able to enter the country.
Just like in later generations, there were some poor and impoverished countries, and no one dared to mess with them.
After eating, the two groups separated.
Zhang Shouzeng sat in the second-class carriage, and Zhao Chuanxin and they sat in the first-class carriage.
Back in front of the carriage, the original position.
Zhao Chuanxin found that the seat was occupied.
Until the Republic of China, the train was not seated in the right number.
If you lift your buttocks, your hind feet may be occupied, and you will have nowhere to be reasonable.
But who is Zhao Chuanxin?
He grabbed the collar of a white man with a mustache: "Get out!" β
The white man was dragged by an incomparable force, and he fell to the ground.
He was furious and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "You ......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something, swallowed the second half of the sentence back, and changed his words to say: "You are so bold......
"nonsense, Zhao Zilong is full of courage and wants to be shocked by me, how bold do you say I am?"
"You ......"
"What's you, I'm here, go with the edge!"
finally gave a demonstration to the apprentice, and Zhao Chuanxin was comfortable.
The foreigner was angry and helpless.
Zhao Chuanxin is low-key, but this low-key is limited to not causing death.
Yao Bing's eyes were shining.
Zhao Chuanxin's behavior conveyed some subtle hints to him:
Master can treat these foreigners with different appearances like dogs......
For some reason, this foreigner actually died down and did not go to the Japanese police.
In the middle of the night, the railway ahead was overhauled, and the train was parked for several hours.
When I arrived at Changchun Mansion, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning.
The South Manchurian Railway and the China Eastern Railway are connected here.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't dare to stay here for a long time, because the last time he came, he choked the little devil enough.
This time he took his apprentice and Rebecca Levi with him, and he needed to take care of their safety.
Rao was like this, and the three of them also had a meal at the station, and only got on the train in the afternoon.
Maybe it's the luck of the apprentice Yao Bing, or maybe it's because Zhao Chuanxin and the three of them are too much like a family of three, and in this process, Zhao Chuanxin rarely didn't encounter any trouble.
The tiring journey made Yao Bing and Rebecca Levi a little sluggish.
Even in the 21st century, riding in a green car is a kind of torture for women and children, not to mention the chrysalis like a cow at this time.
In the afternoon, Yao Bing fell asleep.
Zhao Chuanxin asked Rebecca Levi to take a rest as well, and he hugged Yao Bing to sleep.
Women and children sleep, but Zhao Chuanxin is very vigilant.
Although Yao Bing no longer rushes back to find his grandmother, when he sleeps, he still sobs from time to time, and he doesn't know what he dreamed of.
This night, Yao Bing slept until dinner in the evening and woke up: "Master, I'm hungry." β
"Let's go, I'll take you to drink Maozi's beetroot soup!"
Children, sleep and be in good spirits: "Okay, good, drink soup and eat meat, go ......"
Rebecca Levi smiled, tired with a little naΓ―ve, ruddy complexion, and instantly beautiful.
Zhao Chuanxin suddenly shivered: "I'm afraid it's dark - Longjiang is not yet winter, so it almost makes you laugh at spring." β
This is the kind of woman who is serious but makes you feel charming.
Born with the Eucharist......
Rebecca Levy: "......"
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, hugged Yao Bing and got up and walked towards the dining car: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it." β
ββ¦β¦β
As a result, I ran into Zhang Shouzeng again in the dining car!
Zhao Chuanxin gasped: "Brother Heyan, why did you send a duck pear and roast chicken and let you rely on it?" β
Zhang Shouzeng froze when he saw the smile that only acquaintances had: "......"
Happy New Year brothers.
I want to take a day off to cheer up, I'm embarrassed, hahaha.
