After teaching these European immigrants who did not have utensils a lesson on the use of chopsticks in Leiden, they went on other work, and it was not for Leiden to consider whether to learn or not.

Some people have mastered the essentials and have already started to play, but more often they still scratch their ears and cheeks and use chopsticks badly.

When they arrived at the dinner table, as expected, the small chopsticks became strange in the hands of these people, and some people who gave up simply held the chopsticks in the palm of their hands, picked up the bowl and sent the rice to their mouths.

Those who have learned to pick up the food with chopsticks and enjoy the mysteries.

There are also some people who have learned it by the brain, but they have not learned it with their hands, and the posture of holding chopsticks is correct, but they can't hold the food or it is easy to fall off.

Unlike European immigrants who were forced to use chopsticks to eat in the cafeteria, the Fisher family now cooks and eats on their own in the house they are assigned.

In the first few days of their arrival in East Africa, the Fisher family also experienced it in the canteen in East Africa, but the Fisher family was relatively well-equipped, after all, they had lived in a big city, and they had seen knives, forks, spoons and other tableware, and they had it at home.

Before leaving Stuttgart, Fisher sold his small house and furniture, which was not worth much, after all, the house was too small and dilapidated, and the furniture was old and coarse, and it could not be sold for a good price.

Fisher took the opportunity to deposit the money into the Heshingen Development Bank, which was told to him by the immigration staff that the Heshingen Development Bank also existed in East Africa.

Apart from the house and furniture, Fisher found little of value, only pots and pans, knives, forks and spoons, and a few tools used on the job.

Fisher could easily solve this problem with a burden, so with all his belongings on his back, Fisher led his family across the ocean to live in East Africa.

In East Africa, the Fisher family was assigned to a house in Dar es Salaam, the former home of the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

The original owner had returned to Zanzibar with His Majesty the Sultan, and the property had fallen into the hands of the East African colonies.

The house is a brick structure, in good condition, and the area is large, which fully meets the needs of the current Fisher family of four.

This house alone makes Fisher feel that this East African is worth it, and this allocated house is much stronger than the original small house in Stuttgart, not to mention the large area, and it looks relatively new.

As for the other benefits in East Africa, such as free education, in Fisher's view, it is better than nothing, because he himself has never gone to school, and most of the people he comes into contact with are illiterate, and the people at the bottom of this era do not know that knowledge can change their fate, especially in a place like Germany, which is full of aristocracy.

In terms of salary, Fisher miscalculated, there were too few places to spend money in East Africa, and Fisher didn't smoke or drink, so he basically couldn't spend much, so he had no choice but to continue to keep his money in the bank.

As an important commercial node on the Indian Ocean coast, the port of Dar es Salaam also has a branch built by the Hashingen Development Bank.

In addition to being responsible for the settlement of the salaries of colonial personnel, it mainly operated for merchants and sailors from various countries in the past.

Needless to say, businessmen can reap a lot of benefits from the Heixingen Development Bank from the sailors on the waterway, and most of the sailors of this era have some side jobs and can get a lot of good things overseas.

Dar es Salaam, with the advantage of its location, can help them sell their stolen goods, so that they do not have to go to Europe to sell their goods, saving procedures and time.

……

"Everyone, pay attention, the cement must be mixed evenly, don't rush to add water, add little by little, and continue to stir after each addition of water, so that the water is completely integrated.

This one doesn't work! Mix more sand, or it won't stick. ”

Fisher directed work on the site, which was close to the docks in Dar es Salaam, where the original Zanzibar buildings had been demolished and where East Africa was to build a hotel and beer hall to serve the ships that docked there.

After the Sultanate of Zanzibar retracted Zanzibar, the staff of the original port also went to Zanzibar to find another way out.

These include lodging and eating, gambling, drinking, and other employees for merchant ships.

However, the East African colonies initially lacked the relevant experience to take over these businesses in time, and wasted many opportunities to make money.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to transform the city of Dar es Salaam, the East African colonies intended to revive these commercial activities.

East Africa is all about European style this time, which can make those European sailors feel a sense of intimacy back to Europe, and the European architecture and tropical scenery are definitely unique.

There is no shortage of Arabic architecture and culture along the coast of the Indian Ocean, so that those Arab merchant ships can also experience the charm of European architecture.

Both consumer groups can attract at least some people to come and spend, and the port of Dar es Salaam is in a good location before the Suez Canal opens, and business will definitely be easier in the coming year.

European architecture, which is basically unified, is popular in both Baroque and Gothic styles. Of course, there is also the so-called Romanesque architecture, classical architecture...... These architectural styles borrowed from each other, or simply inherited and developed in a relationship.

Stuttgart is located in Central Europe, so Fisher has access to both Baroque and Gothic architectural styles.

Fisher doesn't really know much about this, everything is done according to ancestral experience and customer requirements.

Fisher's many years of dealing with a wide range of clients, especially those who are strict about construction, have also given him a lot of knowledge, and his ancestral craftsmanship has also been integrated with the current trends in German regional architecture.

"The foundation is not deep enough, at least another 30 centimeters down, but three floors will be built here, the foundation is not solid, and then it will be a big deal." Fisher said to the workers with a measuring tape.

This is a place used to build a hotel, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, so Fisher has to personally test each process every time, and immediately modify the unqualified areas until they are qualified.

And many of the workers in East Africa are peasants-turned-workers, and they don't know anything about construction.

Although Fisher was not just an ordinary construction worker, he was still very good compared to these so-called construction workers in East Africa, and Fisher belonged to both watching pigs running and eating pork.

And the best of these temporary farmer-turned-migrant workers in East Africa may have had only previous exposure to building houses in the countryside.

As a city, Dar es Salaam naturally can't use those small houses in the countryside, especially since it mainly provides accommodation and other services for people coming and going by sea, at least it should look more professional.
