The Apott family eventually moved into this East African house, which is very different from the Venetian area and has the characteristics of German architecture.

The Apottes didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase, which contained some clothes, and then there was no money left, and even a few pieces of clothing didn't look complete and patched.

"This house looks pretty good, with bedrooms and kitchens, Andrew, you live in the first bedroom on the left, Lina lives in the second room on the left, and your mother and I live in the bedroom on the right."

The space of the house is much larger than Abbot imagined, and one of the slightly smaller rooms, if you guessed correctly, should be the future kitchen, the area is relatively small, but the chimney mouth is reserved, and it is empty, which is probably the reason why the police said that they chose the stove in the future.

As for the toilets, it is convenient to go to the public toilets outside, and in fact some Venetians have not yet felt the strictness of hygiene in East Africa.

Just now, the police in East Africa only mentioned it slightly, because he had too many things to do today, and there were still many immigrants waiting for him to arrange.

In the 18th century, the sanitary situation of the Venetians was not much better than in other regions, and all the sewage discharged from life and production was directly discharged into the river.

Their drinking water comes from thousands of wells in the city of Venice, which is on the same starting line as East Africa.

Don't say that now, that is, before the crossing of Ernst in the previous life, the number of public toilets in Italy is scarce, and it is difficult to find even paid toilets, and the price is not cheap, and at the same time you have to pay taxes, even in the 21st century, there are still a considerable number of Europeans who will find a corner to solve on the spot, of course, in the previous life, almost all European families were equipped with toilets, but it was not very convenient to go out.

In East Africa, due to economic problems, it is certainly impossible to equip every household with a toilet, which requires a complete underground drainage system, and the first town, which is Constantine's current residence, has been extensively renovated by Just, and the whole city has been connected to running water and a complete sewer system.

So the real development of East Africa is the public toilet, the kind of side-by-side "dry toilet" that Ernst had in primary school.

It is also convenient to collect and dispose of the manure and then use it to fertilize the fields, which is usually done by "professionals" in the Far East.

Europe can restore soil fertility by various means such as fallow, extensive planting and thin harvesting, while the Far East is different, and the use of manure and water has reached the extreme.

Of course, this is not the main reason, in fact, the ancient Far East was also vast and sparsely populated most of the time before the Ming Dynasty, and the real reason why the Far East was skilled in this "technology" was that manure water could increase grain production.

Evening.

Nairobi government workers, who had been busy all day, began to guide new immigrants to eat in the canteen, and Abot and other families were also led by the police to the East African canteen during the day.

"My name is Haydn, I am Austrian, and I will be a police officer in this jurisdiction in the future, and I will work part-time in many jobs, which means that most of the problems you encounter can come to me to solve, and if I can't solve them, then I can go to the professional government department for help." The administration of the Kingdom of East Africa is so simple and crude, and there is a lack of relevant management personnel, which has led to the police taking on many functions.

Haydn continued: "I'll take you to the canteen in a minute, but I want to say one thing in advance, the East African canteen is good anywhere, but there is one thing that is very uncomfortable, and that is that the cutlery provided is very unfriendly to us Europeans, and if you bring your own cutlery from Europe, it is better to have it." ”

Abbot and the others don't really understand the meaning of Haydn's words, cutlery! It's okay if there is one, and it doesn't matter if the quality is almost there.

But soon, everyone who arrived at the cafeteria understood the meaning of Haydn's words, and looked at the upside-down chopsticks in the bamboo tube.

Haydn picked up a pair and began to show everyone how to use it, "This way, this way...... Isn't it simple. ”

Haydn looked at the blank expressions on everyone's faces, and secretly laughed, and saw them go through what they had experienced at the beginning, and his heart was immediately much happier.

"Of course, if you can't learn it, I can tell you a trick, put them together, and wait for the bowl to be pulled into your mouth, and now we'll go to the queue to eat first."

In the canteen, the staple food of today's dinner is mainly bread and rice, and now the canteen staff in East Africa have discovered that making rice is far easier to handle than the flour that needs to knead the dough, and it is also easy to control the heat, scoop up the water, put it in the pot and wait for the water vapor to evaporate, so the canteen staff are greedy for trouble, and have begun to replace flour products with rice on a large scale.

The main course is beef stew with potatoes, and on the first day, the immigrants must be given a good meal to soothe their homesickness.

In addition, many melons and fruits were specially prepared, but the quantity was limited, and each person could only receive a small portion.

Haydn took the rice bowl, and after the cafeteria staff made a large bowl of rice, the others followed suit in turn.

"Okay, let's go back to the table, now it's the actual combat part."

"Look, isn't it convenient for someone like me to use chopsticks skillfully to pick up vegetables, pick up a bite of rice, or pick up a whole piece of fruit and bring them to your mouth. Of course, this is a bit difficult for you, just hold the bowl up, put it to your mouth, and pull it into your mouth with chopsticks. Haydn Versailles said.

So everyone stumbled and began the journey of eating.

"Mr. Haydn! Who invented this torture exactly? This thing is simply anti-human cutlery. Rep at the long table asked.

"That's because you haven't seen how convenient it is for people who can use chopsticks, although it is a little difficult to learn at the beginning, but when you learn it, you can completely replace cutlery such as knives and forks, just like me, even pasta can be easily clamped, and this thing is easy to produce, the materials are simple, and it is easy to clean."

"Mr. Haydn, is this white thing rice?"

"yes, how does it feel to eat?"

"It's a little better than potato mush, but if I had to choose, it would be bread."

"The bread is good, but rice is abundant in East Africa, especially in the Great Lakes region west of Nairobi, where rice is all grown."

"The potato goulash tastes so good!"

"It's still a good time for you to catch up, the animal husbandry in East Africa has developed, so we can eat this beef, when we came, we could only eat the meat of all kinds of strange animals, lions, crocodiles, and then the government banned it."

"Why?"

"The government said that wild animals are prone to parasites and other unclean things, and the most feared thing in East Africa is to get contaminated with diseases, so the health management is very strict, you should have heard of the rampant diseases in Africa, and the reason why East Africa is thriving is the importance of health issues." Haydn said.

"Speaking of hygiene, I almost forgot, after you go back, you are not allowed to drink water other than well water, otherwise you will have stomach trouble, your kettle has not yet arrived, it should be transported in a few days, when the time comes, even the well water must be boiled and drunk, that is, now you are new to the place, the conditions are not good, and you will be fined for drinking raw water in the future......"

At the dinner table, Haydn carefully explained the rules and laws of East Africa, as well as life tips, so that they could adapt to the living environment in East Africa as soon as possible.
