Hearing Liu Dahai's boasting, Liu Haojia had the heart to take the school exam. And he has studied English in modern times, so he assessed Liu Dahai's English level on the spot. After Liu Dahai spoke a series of English according to Liu Pei's requirements very fluently, he was stunned! Because Liu Dahai said a lot of English words that he couldn't understand!

So Liu Haojia didn't take another assessment, he kept wondering, did his English level regress, or was he fooled by Liu Dahai? However, this allowed Liu Dahai to finish the meal peacefully.

After eating, Liu Haojia reacted. The English spoken by Liu Dahai is modern English, which is quite different from modern English. And maybe the sailor who taught Liu Dahai still had a local accent in the countryside on the British Isles, which was the real reason why he couldn't understand. If you don't believe me, you can go to the original English version of Shakespeare's Complete Works. You will find that the English of hundreds of years ago is very different from the English of today.

So Liu Haojia wisely gave up the idea of teaching him English, and said: "Look at your eyes are all red and bloodshot, you didn't sleep last night, right?" ”

Liu Dahai shook his head and said: "I slept for a while, but I was poured a lot of wine last night, and now I have a headache!" ”

Speaking of this, he hurriedly explained: "Master, it's not that the villain is greedy for wine and misconduct, but that the villain went to meet those shipbuilders yesterday, but caught up with the little grandson of the old shipwright's family for his birthday, and a large group of people got together for a party!" The villain went to visit his house and happened to bump into it, so he was poured a lot of wine! ”

Liu Haojia asked with great interest when he heard this: "So, you already have some news, how about it, is there a shipwright who is willing to go with me?" ”

Liu Dahai shook his head in frustration and said, "I'm sorry, master, the villain talked to them roughly yesterday, and no one is interested in them!" ”

Liu Haojia said in surprise: "Isn't it okay to give more silver?" ”

Liu Dahai still shook his head and said: "Master, most of those shipwrights are actually the bosses of the shipyard, and the few who are not bosses get very high salaries!" Although it is not as high as the master, but the good craftsmen are all old, they prefer to live with their own clan, and those young ones are eager to try, but unfortunately their skills are not good! ”

Liu Haojia nodded disappointedly when he heard this, and said later: "Then have you mentioned the request that the official send someone to study and visit the shipyard?" ”

Liu Dahai glanced at Liu Haojia's face and said cautiously: "The villain also made this request, but they didn't agree or deny it, so the villain had to reveal the identity of the master a little!" ”

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Very good, very smart!" Don't worry, it's okay! But what do they say? ”

Liu Dahai saw that Liu Haojia was not angry, so he said in a light tone: "Since the villain doesn't know the specific identity of the master, it can only be a vague hint, so they may think that the master will not have too much influence on them, and they haven't replied!" However, there was a shipyard owner named Santos who was quite interested, and said that he would like to get to know the master. So the villain took it upon himself to arrange a lunch for the master! So the master can discuss specific things directly with him slowly! ”

Liu Haojia was overjoyed and said: "Well done! At dinner, you go to the official to settle today's money, and take it back with the reward! By the way, that guy named Santos, can he speak human language? ”

Liu Dahai said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, he has been living here in Haojing for many years, and his official words are good!" ”

Liu Haojia said with satisfaction: "In that case, you should go and get busy first, and come to pick up the official before noon." ”

Before noon, Liu Dahai really arrived at the inn on time to lead Liu Haojia to the banquet. And he also told Liu Haojia that he was not idle in the morning, and visited two other shipyards, but unfortunately the answers he received were not satisfactory.

Several people walked towards the center of the city as they spoke, and soon saw the spire of the church. After these Europeans settled down, in addition to building their own houses, the second building to be built must be the church! This is their own faith, and at the same time it is a weapon to colonize other peoples! So far, the only place where their gods have suffered defeat is in China, losing to the ancestors of the Chinese!

Under the leadership of Liu Dahai, several people soon stopped in front of a house with a small garden. Liu Haojia found that the house was very close to the church. This shows that the family came to Macau relatively early. Most likely, it was one of the first groups of immigrants to come to Macau.

Liu Dahai took a step forward and pushed open the small fence gate of the garden, and walked directly to the door of the house along the stone road. He knocked twice and the door opened. A European with a beard and a look to be in his mid-50s walked out.

He first saw Liu Dahai knocking on the door, nodded politely, and then saw Liu Haojia, especially when he saw the four elite family members behind Liu Haojia, his eyes lit up obviously!

I only heard him say in fluent Chinese: "Hello, my friend, you are the noble person in Liu Ya's mouth, right?" ”

Liu Haojia took the initiative to step forward and said, "It's a pleasure to see you, Mr. Santos!" ”

Hearing Liu Haojia call him Mr., Santos' eyes obviously brightened a little more. Then he let him go out and follow the Chinese example and bowed his hands and said, "Please come in, friends." Delicious food is ready at home! Of course, your servants will also be well entertained here! ”

Liu Haojia also returned the salute and said: "Then thank you very much Mr. Santos!" ”

After the group entered the door, Liu Haojia found that the whole house was very large, and there were two living rooms alone. At this time, Santos asked Liu Dahai to help place the family in the small living room. With Liu Haojia's permission, the four family members walked into a small living room to rest. And Santos also arranged refreshments for the family in the small living room, which made Liu Haojia very satisfied.

Then Santos directly invited Liu Haojia into the living room. In the living room, two young men in their twenties greeted him. Santos said, "Mr. Liu, the two of them are children! This is the eldest son, Todd, and this is my second son, Lias! ”

Hearing his father's introduction, the two also used a Chinese-style bow salute to greet Liu Haojia. No sooner had they said a few words than two more women came out of the kitchen. The older one is similar to Santos, and the younger one is about fifteen or sixteen. Santos immediately introduced: "Mr. Liu, this is my wife Shania and my youngest daughter Minnie!" They are my treasures! ”
