Chapter 183: The Boss Is Coming!

Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and reached as far as the east coast of Africa, which is recorded in various historical books.

For example, the content recorded in the "Ming Shilu" should be relatively reliable, and there are many records in it that Zheng He was sent to Western countries, including some countries in Africa.

"In December of the 14th year of Yongle, Guli...... Wooden bones are bundled...... Wow...... Malin ...... The envoys of the Propaganda Department of the countries and the old port resigned, and they were given Wenqi and clothes. Zheng He, the lieutenant officer, and other gifts, as well as Jinqi, Saro, Caijuan and other things, were sent to the kings. ”

"In the first month of the nineteenth year of Yongle, Kurumus ...... No, the wood and bones are all bundled...... The Sixteen Nations sent envoys to pay tribute to famous horses and things, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to feast on them. The envoys of the sixteen countries, such as Guiji and Kurumus, returned to the country and gave money and coins. The eunuch Zheng He and other eunuchs were sent back to the king, and they were given to the king, and they were accompanied by the envoys."

In addition, the stone carving of Tianfei Palace in Liujiagang, Loudong and the stone carving of the Sanfeng Pagoda of Nanshan in Changle "The Record of Tianfei Yingling" all record the deeds of Zheng He's seven trips to the West, including "Yongle fifteen years, leading the boat master to the Western Regions...... The wood bones are bound to the country into the flower and the deer and the lion, and the country of Bu Rawa enters the camel and the camel chicken".

The Mugu Dushu, Bu (Bu) Rawa and Ma Lin mentioned in the above-mentioned historical sources are all in Africa, so there is no doubt that Zheng He sailed to Africa.

Ma Wenkuan and Meng Fanren's "The Discovery of Ancient Chinese Porcelain in Africa" introduces in detail the discovery and excavation of ancient Chinese porcelain in various parts of Africa, and is accompanied by more than 30 editions of photos.

According to the book, in Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania on the east coast of Africa, there are more than 100 sites of ancient Chinese porcelain, among which many ancient Chinese porcelain in the 14th and 15th centuries have been unearthed. This can also be used as evidence that Zheng He sailed to Africa.

……

Looking at the nine black men in front of him, listening to their broken Chinese, and the three "heirlooms" they presented, Zhou Qiao had a lot of thoughts for a while, as if he had traveled through time and space, and saw the majestic posture of the former Three Treasure Eunuchs who went south!

These three treasures are: a slightly rusty embroidered spring knife that is well maintained, the system is simple, the blade is sharp, and it does not look like an imitation.

A pair of gilt rubies and rubies double phoenix chaise bracelets, the ancient handicraft skills are quite exquisite, and the gemstones are still bright in color, thick in pulp, and flawless.

and a dilapidated ancient book, many pages are broken, the first page has four large characters "Zhou Li Commentary", the Chinese characters are vigorous and powerful, not an engraved plate, but a handwritten book, the calligraphy alone is pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Qiao is not knowledgeable in cultural relics and calligraphy, and he didn't recognize which person's handwriting it was (the author's signature is incomplete and cannot be verified), but the value of this ancient book is self-evident.

These three cultural relics all reveal a sense of age, if they are really handed down from the Ming Dynasty, the value is amazing!

It's very valuable, but Zhou Qiao has to accept it!

If you don't accept them, let them continue to live overseas?

Seeing that Zhou Qiao was willing to accept it, the nine black people couldn't help but cheer.

Zhou Qiao didn't take it in vain, and gave a return gift, asking Margaret to find someone to bring a cow as a gift.

This was given to him by other tribes, the sheep were eaten, and the cattle were not willing to be killed, and they were quite good as a gift in return.

Not only Chinese love cows, but in Africa, cattle are also a valuable asset. Many tribes married wives in exchange for cattle. Sometimes, cows are more expensive than women!

"Doctor Zhou, how is this good?" The black man who could speak Chinese was called Gezane, and he also gave himself a Chinese name, Li Jianguo.

It is said that his ancestor was a general surnamed Li. In Xiyou Village, there is also an ancestral ancestral hall, which is still well maintained.

After Zhou Qiao heard about it, he wanted to take a look and have a look.

Gezane was immediately overjoyed and exclaimed, "Dr. Zhou's willingness to come here is an honor for us to travel to the west!" ”

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Who did you learn this Chinese with?" ”

"My cousin is the only girl in our village who reads, well, she studied in China and taught me when she came back!" ”

"Haha, then you have a strong learning ability!" Zhou Qiao couldn't help but feel a little pity, such a talented person didn't have the opportunity to study.

Because, many people will encounter bottlenecks when learning a foreign language, especially in the absence of a language environment. This Li Jianguo learned from his cousin a few times, he can express himself, and he can also use some idioms, Zhou Qiao thinks it is quite remarkable.

His cousin's ability to get out of a poor African village is even more remarkable.

Subsequently, Zhou Qiao asked Yaji to put the three cultural relics back in his room, and then took a car to the Xiyou Village where Li Jianguo was located.

Yaki and Lu Xianna naturally accompanied him. Margaret was also interested, greeted more than a dozen of her subordinates, and organized a mighty convoy to escort Zhou Qiao there!

She originally had the responsibility to protect Zhou Qiao's safety. Especially outside the base.

Chen Zhining is also Chinese, and he is also interested in the Journey to the West Village, so he also rubbed the car to follow to have a look.

Li Jianguo was very happy, he left two black people and asked them to escort the "treasure cow" given by Dr. Zhou back to the village slowly, while he himself and the other black people, including the three black girls, took a ride to the base.

Perhaps, they had never been in such a "high-end" car, they were all very excited, and after a gallop all the way, Zhou Qiao and they arrived at Xiyou Village.

It is worth mentioning that after Zhou Qiao and the others left, the black scorpion received the news, because before, he and Hatam were fighting in the room, so they missed this opportunity.

I wanted to follow, but the base couldn't be left alone, so I had to give up.

If he knew before, he could let Margaret take the charge on his behalf, and he himself would personally escort Zhou Qiao there!

When Zhou Qiao arrived at Xiyou Village, Li Jianguo took the lead in entering the village, shouting, and soon, many people greeted him.

A group of children came around and shouted "Dad" at Zhou Qiao!

Zhou Qiao: "......"

What kind of custom is this? made him have a delusion, and thought that he was romantic, and accidentally left so many offspring here?

Obviously, no.

Because, the group of children immediately smiled at Yaggi and Lu Xianna, calling them "Mom~"

Seeing Zhou Qiao in a daze, Yaji and Lu Xianna couldn't help but smile and bend over, explaining to him that there is such a custom in Africa.

Africans like to see their parents as the loveliest people, so in order to show respect for visitors, they often refer to their guests as "parents".

When a male guest comes, he is called "Dad", and when a female guest comes, he is called "Mom".

If it is an authentic African tribe, when the Chinese guests arrive, the African friends, regardless of gender, old and young, will open their mouths as "Chinese father" and "Chinese mother", but this is Xiyou Village, and they claim to be descendants of Zheng He's generals in the Ming Dynasty, so they did not add "China". Instead, it is directly called "Dad" and "Mommy"! It can bring you closer.

The patriarch is an old man in his fifties, but he can't speak Chinese, he took Zhou Qiao and others to visit Xiyou Village, first of all, the ancestral hall, a pure wooden structure, Zhou Qiao took a closer look, and some of the parts in it turned out to be mortise and tenon!

Chen Zhining was secretly surprised, and quietly said to Zhou Qiao: "This should be a descendant of the Chinese, unlike other places, there are many fakes. ”

After all, this mortise and tenon joint structure is a typical ancient Chinese architectural style.

Its biggest feature is that it does not use nails on the object, but the object is quite strong, reflecting the wisdom of ancient Chinese craftsmen.

After seeing the ancestral hall, I went to visit the village. It has to be said that this should be a relatively rich village. Many people in it even have "looms", which are made of wood, which is very primitive.

Obviously, the craftsmanship of their looms has not been authentically passed down in China, and it looks rather rudimentary. However, the woven cloth is still very good.

In addition to hand-woven fabrics, there are some other objects, such as bamboo baskets and bracelets.

Zhou Qiao saw that there was a bracelet that was in good condition, so he took a few more looks, and the patriarch was a discerning person, so he immediately took the bracelet from the original owner, saying that it was to give it to Zhou Qiao.

“……”

Zhou Qiao thought about it, then took out $20 and handed it to the housewife of the family.

After all, it's too embarrassing to take other people's things for nothing.

The housewife was very surprised, pinched the money, and said thank you repeatedly, but the patriarch glared at her with eyes, meaning that she shouldn't have received it!

Zhou Qiao smiled: "It's a little meaning, this bracelet is worth this price." ”

In fact, he didn't know how much the bracelet was, so he looked at it. $20, purchasing power in Africa is still very good.

The workmanship is not too fine, but the texture is very chic, and it should be some rare fragrant wood.

Zhou Qiao said so, and the patriarch had nothing to say. The housewife returned to the house in a hurry, and soon came out, it turned out that she had taken a pot of small snacks out, handed it to Zhou Qiao, and said again and again: "Eat, eat!" ”

Although the language is clumsy, and he looks a little nervous, but his eyes are full of warmth and hospitality, and he is really a heart, Zhou Qiao glanced at the basin and saw that it contained something fried crispy and golden triangles, so he took one and put it in his mouth and bit it, it was quite fragrant, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "It's delicious!" ”

Jackey smiled: "This is the famous fried triangle here, and the one you just ate is bean filling!" ”

Under the warm greeting of the housewife, Yaji, Lu Xianna, Margaret, Chen Zhining and others also took one after another, and for a while, it was crunchy and relished.

Zhou Qiao played with the bracelet in his hand, purple and black shiny, the texture is eye-catching, the smell is fresh, and the heart says, it is a pity to make such a good material into a bracelet. So I asked what kind of tree it was.

The patriarch glanced at Margaret and said nothing.

Margaret smiled, leaned over, and muttered a few words in Zhou Qiao's ear: "This is the famous black sandalwood in East Africa, also known as ebony, rhinoceros horn red sandalwood." The slightly larger ones and the thicker ones were all cut down by our base, and they probably picked up a little bit of the leftovers we dropped. ”

"Anyway, except for our base, if anyone else cuts it down without permission, they will be punished!"

Zhou Qiao: "......" This is a little embarrassing. He also thought that the base was just mining, but as long as it was valuable, he wanted it!

I can only comfort myself that Loya is much more civilized than the previous Americans. At the very least, she is still building bridges and roads in the local area, and she has built part of the infrastructure, and she does not kill civilians indiscriminately.

Although there was such a bad episode, overall, this trip to the village was very pleasant.

After all, if the aborigines were really resistant to the base and were incompatible, they would not send Zhou Qiao a thank you gift, let alone agree to Zhou Qiao coming to visit the village!

Although Luo Ya grabbed wealth here, the people's hearts are still very good.

Zhou Qiao played with the three cultural relics at night, and felt that the pair of gilt ruby-encrusted double phoenix concubine bracelets were quite suitable for twin beauties. As for the embroidered spring knife and ancient books, Zhou Qiao decided to find an opportunity to donate them.

He'd done it in San Francisco before, so he's familiar with it.

So the next day, I called the Chinese embassy in Sue Soken and said that there were two cultural relics that would pass in a few days.

The people in the embassy were quite excited, registered Zhou Qiao's information, asked him where he was, and were very concerned about him, asking him if he needed support? After all, disease X is quite violent right now.

Zhou Qiao said that he was kind and didn't need it for the time being. I didn't dare to say that I was based in East Africa, but I only said that I opened a clinic in the United States, and now I am at the invitation of a friend to come to East Africa for free medical treatment and medical assistance.

The artefacts were donated to the aided East African villages. also mentioned the name of Journey to the West Village to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the staff of the embassy actually knew.

It's just that the staff member was quite regretful, saying that they had visited that village before, and they didn't mention this family heirloom.

"Congratulations, Dr. Zhou, you can be recognized by Journey to the West Village, I think it is a lifesaver for them! Being able to donate cultural relics and return precious cultural relics to the motherland can also be called a high wind and bright festival! We look forward to your visit and will report this matter to China. At that time, there should be a commendation! ”

agreed with the other party on the time to donate cultural relics, and Zhou Qiao hung up the phone.

Then, he saw Margaret running over excitedly and shouting at him, "Doctor Zhou, the boss is here!" The boss is here! ”

Yaji and Lu Xianna suddenly stood farther away from Zhou Qiao. Don't dare to be as intimate as before.

Zhou Qiao went out, and sure enough, he saw a convoy driving through the wilderness and coming slowly.

Because the big boss was coming, a large number of people in the base, as long as they were free and could leave their posts, gathered on the open grassland in front of the base to greet them.

Of course, a wide passage is left in the middle.

The convoy stopped, and Luo Ya jumped out of the car in a heroic manner.

Zhou Qiao hurried up to meet him, and the two hugged each other tightly regardless of the eyes of the people around them.

Even, a French kiss in public.

"Wow~"

"I'm so envious~"

"I'll go!" Chen Zhining was taken aback, and said in his heart, what kind of operation is this Dr. Zhou? actually hugged the big boss in his arms, like this, like this, and that, and that......

Except for a few insiders such as Black Scorpion and Margaret, the rest of the people were shocked!

Only then did everyone react, no wonder the black scorpion was so obedient and respectful to Dr. Zhou before, it turned out that Dr. Zhou was not an ordinary person! It turned out to be the boyfriend of the big boss!

This news, no less than a shocking explosion, caused a sensation throughout the base!

In the crowd, Sampson was drenched in a cold sweat, feeling that his position as the chief doctor of the base was probably not guaranteed! I don't even know if I'll be able to leave Africa alive!

He recalled that he had secretly called the big boss and complained to the big boss Luo Ya, saying bad things about Zhou Qiao, and now that he thought about it, he almost wanted to smack himself a few big mouths! Why are you so stupid?

Well, it must have been too much stress at the time, which caused me to have some psychological problems. It's a pity that there is no psychiatrist here, otherwise I would have found the other party to help me with counseling.

No, Baysa is my best doctor! It will give me the best treatment and comfort.

For the sake of Bayisa, Sampson decided to wronged himself, and when Dr. Zhou and the big boss were empty, he would go to admit his mistakes and apologize to them!

Admit your mistakes to the big boss, no shame!

He didn't know before, so he can't be blamed!

Sampson wants to cry!

Baysa shook his hand tightly.

……

Luo Ya didn't come alone, she also brought a trusted senior biomedical team.

After the intimacy, the first thing Zhou Qiao did was to hand over to the team brought by Luo Ya, and transfer the formula and production process of vaccines and special drugs to the other party!

He prepares laboratory-scale vaccines and special drugs here every day, and he has long been tired of doing it! Because, the workload is quite large, and you can't fake your hands on others!

Luo Ya smiled: "I won't let you suffer either." I plan to set up a biomedical company, you are the major shareholder, you don't have to pay money, you take vaccines and special drugs as shares, accounting for 51% of the shares, and the Burst Queen Organization, 49%. ”

Then, he took out the Patek Philippe custom watch and put it on for Zhou Qiao!

This expensive watch, although it was made in an expedited manner, was still excellently made, and was so beautifully made that it was worthy of its high price of $5.8 million!

The real high-end atmosphere is on the grade, wearing it on the wrist, Zhou Qiao's temperament and charm add a point!

Zhou Qiao: "......" had nothing to repay, so he had to promise himself that night!

That night, the long-lost account balance increased again, which was a pleasant feeling!

At noon the next day, Sampson finally found an opportunity to come over and sincerely admit his mistake.

Luo Ya glanced at Zhou Qiao, Zhou Qiao shook his head slightly, signaling that there was no need to make a big fuss. Sampson's emotional breakdown and excesses before, in Zhou Qiao's opinion, was not a big deal, after all, it did not cause him any harm.

Instead, Sampson was pinned to the ground by Jackey and Lusena and taught him a hard lesson! Sampson also lost face in public.

Luo Ya then sneered and said, "In the future, your position will be replaced by Chen Zhining." You swap it with him. ”

Although she is far away in the United States, she knows everything about the base side of the country. knew that Chen Zhining and Zhou Qiao were very close.

Hearing Loya's words, Sampson finally breathed a sigh of relief, this was already the best ending he was looking forward to.

Don't look at Luo Ya in front of Zhou Qiao, she feels a little birdy, but in front of these subordinates, the name of the Violent Queen is really not called in vain!

Many people, including Black Scorpion and Margaret, were silent if they saw Luo Ya getting angry!
