Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dinner
District 23, Bedroom 013
While Lee and Ander were observing East Africa, the accompanying team of doctors was not idle, and what they saw and heard in Dar es Salaam today was an eye-opener.
Li Ji said while making the mattress, "The imperial court really didn't lie to us, this so-called East African kingdom is indeed not bad with what they said, quite like the houses that Tao Yuanming said, the feeling of strange traffic, especially the urban construction, is really eye-opening and quite comfortable." ”
"No, no! Brother Anren, if you want me to think that most of the East African kingdoms are uncivilized, dressed in strange costumes, I don't know if you have paid attention to the day, there are many Chinese in the streets and alleys, even the braids have been cut off, and they have short hair of less than an inch, which is no different from monks, aren't you afraid of going down to the Yellow Spring, ashamed of your ancestors! ”
"Yuan Ye! It's not that I'm talking about you, this is not the Far East, but an overseas country, the land of the West, the race is very different from my Celestial Empire, but we also have a shorter knowledge, I don't know what the overseas people look like, today I can be regarded as having seen it, as the rumors say, the blond hair and blue eyes are like Rakshasas, and the whole body is dark, the ancient Kunlun slave, and there are also people who are like me as you say, but they may not be my people from the Central Plains! We also met many similar-looking barbarians in the Strait of Malacca and Annam. ”
"Brother Anren, I will never be wrong, although this German speaks a bird's language, but today I happened to hear two people talking on the side of the road at the end of the team, they speak Chinese, and it is the northern dialect, I am a person from a famous mansion will not listen to it!"
"Two virtuous brothers, I may know the reason for this." A person on the side suddenly said: "I also know that I am a person from Jinan Prefecture, outside the city of Jinan, although I go less, but also every once in a while will go to the countryside for free clinics, it is also a coincidence, once I was in the countryside when I happened to meet someone in my village of free clinic to promote overseas paradise, many people were fooled by him, at that time I only thought he was a liar, and now to this East Africa, I suddenly realized, that person is dressed exactly the same as many residents of Da City today, it turns out that this so-called "overseas paradise" is the kingdom of East Africa, This is where those people went! ”
Yuan Ye: "In this way, those people are also my atomic people!" ”
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, I think many people in this East African kingdom are likely to be people who moved overseas from China."
Yuan Ye: "If I am a citizen of China, but I still shave my hair and learn from Yangyi, it is simply ...... It's just ......."
"Brother Zheng Mu (Yuan Ye), you don't have to be too demanding, maybe it was forced by the barbarians, after all, it is their territory, although the barbarians are not educated, but they also have their own rules, maybe they just don't like the braids of the Celestial Empire!"
Yuan Ye: "That can't be ...... Ay! The body is skinned, and it is received by its parents. Sin, sin! ”
Li Ji: "Yuan Ye, I'm going to say a few words, although Xiyi is not good, but they should always have some advantages, such as this strange skill, which is much more advanced than us, and over the years, everyone has actually known very well in their hearts that the national situation is worrying!" There are long hairs in the front, and there are twisted bandits in the back, and there are Western countries from the sea when they invade the territory, and natural disasters are even more frequent, sometimes drought and sometimes waterlogging, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the people are not living well. ”
Yuan Ye: "Brother Anren, I admit that the Celestial Empire is in some difficulties now, but natural and man-made disasters should always pass, and now the imperial court is rebuilding its army, the civil strife has disappeared, and resisting foreign countries outside the country is just around the corner." ”
Li Ji: "That's true, but how long are you talking about just around the corner?" The court can afford to wait, the small people can't afford to wait, they can't eat for a few days, they can't live, in the face of the dilemma of survival, they will not pay attention to any ethics, integrity and righteousness, but to live first, this East African kingdom does not say to solve most of the problems for them, as long as they stutter food, I am afraid that many people are willing to smear their livers and brains. ”
"Alas, forget it, don't talk about this, how about the dynasty, everyone knows it in their hearts, but my Chinese spirit is indomitable and self-improving, I believe that one day there will be a reappearance of the Han and Tang dynasties."
"Well said!" The other three people in the dormitory.
Knock knock knock...... There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Someone's coming! I'm going to open the door. ”
Li Ji opened the door and saw a young man standing in front of the door, who was an employee of the East African Immigration Agency.
"It's time to eat, everyone! I'm taking you to the cafeteria. ”
"Oh, thank you, little brother, let's come over here, wait a minute." Li Ji said politely.
The four of them put down their work and followed the young people to the public canteen of the immigration department.
On the way, Li Ji began to ask the immigration officer: "Little brother, I don't know what to call it." ”
"My German name is Hans Zhou, and Han's name is Zhou Mo."
Li Ji: "Little Brother Zhou Mo, how can you have a foreigner's name!" ”
Hans Zhou: "What foreigner?" I am now German. ”
Li Ji: "Okay, Germans, how did you come to the Kingdom of East Africa?" How did you become German? Listen to your accent, it should have been from Henan and Shandong before! ”
Hans Zhou: "My hometown is indeed from Shandong, but I eventually immigrated to East Africa, and naturally became German. ”
Li Ji: "Uh...... I mean, isn't there any threshold to be German? They won't look down on you! ”
Hans Zhou: "What a threshold! When I came to East Africa, I automatically became German! As for discrimination, why? We, in the Kingdom of East Africa, are equal for all, and we don't like that. ”
Negro: "★※ァ(○Д○)"
Li Ji: "Then, there really won't be any differences because of living habits!" ”
Hans Chow: "Everyone is from a poor background, how can we have any energy to think about these things that we don't have, thanks to the great kindness of His Majesty Konstantin and Crown Prince Ernst, there is a way to live in East Africa, naturally united, fraternal, like a family." ”
It's really like a family, for example, Hans Zhou's wife is a Slavic girl, and Hans Zhou is full of confidence when he says this.
Hans Zhou asked, "By the way, sir, you are also from the Far East!" What do you do? ”
Li Ji: "We are Langzhong in the Far East. ”
Hans Chow: "It's a doctor!" No wonder the supervisor said to be polite to you, I see, I said that you are not ordinary immigrants. ”
Li Ji hurriedly explained: "We are not immigrants, we were sent by the Far Eastern government to support the East African Kingdom. ”
Hans Chow: "It's all the same, it's all the same, we in the East African Kingdom have a lot of respect for doctors and teachers, especially doctors, who are very rare in East Africa. ”
Li Ji: "Oh! Do you have very few doctors in the Kingdom of East Africa? I know that Western countries also have their own Langzhong, which seems to be called Western medicine, especially good at surgery. ”
Hans Zhou: "I haven't seen much of Western medicine, and I haven't heard of it, we only have the title of doctor in East Africa, but I heard that military doctors in the army are good at surgery, but they can only sterilize, bandage and other simple operations. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ji became interested: "Then what is the difference between your doctor here and Langzhong in the Far East?" ”
Hans Zhou: "It doesn't seem to make much difference, the doctors in the hospital in Dar es Salaam are also immigrants from the Far East, and they also boil medicine and prescribe prescriptions. ”
It turned out to be a counterpart from the motherland, which made Li Ji a little disappointed: "Then there is no real Western medicine?" ”
Hans Chow: "You don't mean the white doctors of Europa! ”
Li Ji: "It should be, no, it's a white doctor." ”
Hans Zhou: "I've never seen such a doctor, but I've heard that the doctor in the palace is probably what you call Western medicine." ”
Li Ji: "Could this be the Imperial Physician of the East African Kingdom!" ”
Hans Chow: "I don't know, I've only heard, after all, I've only been to Dar es Salaam City Hospital. ”
Li Ji: "Is the hospital the meaning of the medical hall?" ”
Hans Chow: "The hospital is where the doctors stay, much more than the Far Eastern Medical Center, with three floors and hundreds of rooms. ”
Hundreds of rooms! Li Ji and the others were a little surprised, how big should that be? I'm afraid only the Tai Hospital in the Forbidden City can compare! But Li Ji can't afford to think about it anymore, because the canteen has already arrived.
There are a total of four canteens at the Transition Point, the smallest of which is the staff canteen of the Immigration Department.
Entering the hall is the hall, there are 100 tables in the hall, divided into three rows, in order to provide food service for the aid team, especially with the staff to split the meal time, if the color has been dark today, the people of the aid group are already hungry.
"Everyone has to line up first, then get the tableware, and then choose the dishes and staple food......" the staff arranged.
However, there was one person who had already started cooking, and it was none other than the interpreter of the East African Embassy's rationing assistance mission, Aryan.
After all, Aryan was a student at the Heixingen School and had eaten in the cafeteria for a few months, so he was familiar with the process.
Aryan: "Well, can you choose your own meal?" I thought it was directly distributed! ”
"At first, it was allocated, but now it's not a good condition! So there are more types of food. ”
Aryan: "I see, then bring me two breads, a green pepper and shredded pork, what's that soup over there?" ”
"Tomato and onion beef soup."
"The Italian way?"
"You're right, there's a new Italian cook the other day, and he's made this soup."
"Haha, I've seen it in Trieste, but I haven't eaten it, make me a small bowl."
"Okay!"
After Aryan had chosen the food, he sat down at the table with a plate and enjoyed the dinner, and after doing so, he also gave a sample to the people of the aid group, and they all took the plates and began to eat.
Li Ge: "The food of ordinary people in this East African kingdom is really good! There are many patterns, and there is meat. ”
Ender: "yes! I think back then, when I was studying, not to mention the four walls of the family, there were only two pickles with a bowl of millet porridge, and occasionally I could eat two eggs during the New Year's holidays. ”
Li Ge: "Alas, who said no, only if you suffer hardship, you will become a superior person." ”
In front of a table in the corner of the wall.
Li Ji said to the three roommates: "The food in this East African kingdom is too good!" I thought to myself that I had a high income in the Far East, but I didn't dare to be so extravagant in eating, and I was usually diligent and thrifty, so ordinary people in this East African kingdom ate big fish and meat. ”
The doctor's income has always been not low, so Li Ji said this, but Li Ji's economic conditions are not possible to eat big fish and meat every day, and usually add some lard star to season at most.
Of course, the living standards of East Africans are not so exaggerated, but because of the special nature of the aid mission, there are such abundant meals and medical talents, and the treatment is naturally different.
As for why the Aryan foodie didn't find out, it was entirely because of his life experience, during the school in Heixingen, Ernst naturally did not treat them badly in terms of food, but the Heixingen school imitated the Heixingen school, in order to maintain discipline, generally does not let students pick their own food, that is, they can eat whatever they do today, but the meat and vegetables are matched and the nutrition is complete.
Later, as soon as Aryan graduated, he was sent to work in the East African Embassy in the Far East because of his excellent grades, and the food in the East African Embassy was absolutely first-class, and the diplomats were already officials, and the treatment was naturally not bad.
