Chapter 347 Dinner
23rd District, Bedroom 013
When Li Ge and Ender observed East Africa, the accompanying team of doctors were not idle. What they saw and heard in Dar es Salaam today really opened their eyes.
While spreading the mattress, Li Ji said, "Sure enough, the imperial court did not lie to us. This so-called East African kingdom is indeed what they said. It is quite similar to what Tao Yuanming said. It’s eye-opening and quite relaxing.”
"No, no! Brother An, it seems to me that most of the East African kingdoms are uncivilized people, dressed in strange clothes, I don't know if you have noticed in the daytime, there are many Chinese in the streets and alleys, and their braids have been cut off With short hair of less than an inch, he is no different from a monk, isn't he afraid of going to the underworld, ashamed of his ancestors!"
"Yuan Ye! It's not me talking about you. This is not the Far East, but an overseas country, a land of western barbarians. The race is very different from my Celestial Dynasty. It's also because we have less experience and don't know what the overseas people look like. Today I can count I have seen it, as the rumors say, the blond hair and blue eyes are like Rakshasa, and the whole body is dark, the ancient Kunlun slaves, there are also Chinese people like me as you said, but they may not be my people from the Central Plains! We are in the Straits of Malacca and Annan has also seen many barbarians who look similar."
"Brother An, I am determined not to make a mistake. Although the German speaks a bird's tongue, I happened to hear two people talking on the side of the road at the end of the line today. They spoke Chinese, and it was a northern dialect. I A person from the Daming Mansion will not be mistaken!"
"You two virtuous brothers, I may know the reason for this." A person on the side suddenly said: "You also know that I am from Jinan Prefecture. I will go to the countryside for free clinics when I have time. It’s a coincidence that when I was in the countryside, I happened to meet someone who was promoting overseas paradise in the village where I was doing free clinics. Many people were fooled by him. At that time, I only thought he was a liar. East Africa, I suddenly realized that the clothes of that person were exactly the same as many residents in Dacheng today, so it turned out that this so-called "Overseas Paradise" was referring to the Kingdom of East Africa, and the place those people went to was also here!"
Yuan Ye: "In this way, those people are also my Zhongyuan citizens!"
"Ninety-nine are inseparable from ten. I think many people in the East African kingdom are probably my Chinese relocated overseas."
Yuan Ye: "If I were a citizen of China, but I still shaved my hair and changed clothes, and learned from foreigners, it would be... simply..."
"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, they have their own rules. Maybe they just don't like the braids of the Celestial Dynasty!"
Yuan Ye: "That can't be... Hey! The body is hairy and skinned, and it is the parents. Sin, sin!"
Li Ji: "Yuan Ye, I'm going to say a few words about this. Although Xiyi is not good in every way, they should have some advantages, such as their strange skills and ingenuity, which are much more advanced than ours, and over the years, In fact, everyone is very clear in their hearts that the situation of the country is worrying! Before there was a long-haired rebellion, and later there were bandits who rose up, and there were also Western countries who invaded from the sea from time to time, and natural disasters were more frequent. Too much."
Yuan Ye: "Brother An, I admit that the Celestial Dynasty is in some difficulties now, but natural disasters and man-made disasters must pass. Now the imperial court is rebuilding its military, the internal strife has disappeared, and it is just around the corner to resist foreign countries outside the country."
Li Ji: "That's true, but how long are you talking about? The court can afford to wait, but ordinary people can't afford to wait. If they can't eat for a few days, they won't be able to survive. Faced with the predicament of survival, they will not Pay attention to the principles of ethics and righteousness, but to live first, this East African Kingdom doesn’t say that it will solve most of their problems for them, as long as they give them a stutter, I am afraid that many people will be willing to embarrass themselves.”
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, everyone knows how the country is, but my Chinese spirit is indomitable and self-improving. I believe that one day it will reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"Well said!" The other three people in the dormitory said.
咚咚咚... There was a knock on the door suddenly.
"Someone is 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 dinner everyone! I'm taking you to the cafeteria for dinner."
"Oh, thank you little brother, we'll come over right away, wait a minute." Li Ji said politely.
The four people put down their work and followed the young man to the public canteen of the Immigration Department.
On the way, Li Ji began to ask the employee of the immigration agency: "Little brother, I don't know how to call him."
"My German name is Hans Zhou, and my Chinese name is Zhou Mo."
Li Ji: "Brother Zhou Mo, why do you have a foreigner's name!"
Hans Zhou: "What foreigner? I am a German now."
Li Ji: "Okay, German, how did you come to the Kingdom of East Africa? How did you become a German? Listen to your accent, it should be in Henan and Shandong before!"
Hans Zhou: "My hometown is indeed from Shandong, but when I finally immigrated to East Africa, I naturally became a German."
Li Ji: "Uh... I want to say that there is no threshold for becoming a German? They won't look down on you!"
Hans Zhou: "What threshold! After I came to East Africa, I automatically became a German! As for discrimination, why? Our East African kingdom pays attention to equality for everyone, and we don't like that."
Black: "★※ァ(○Д○
Li Ji: "Then, are there really no differences because of living habits?"
Hans Zhou: "Everyone is born in poverty, how can we have the energy to think about these things? Thanks to His Majesty Constantine and Crown Prince Ernst, there is a way to survive in East Africa. Naturally, it is unity, friendship, and kindness." It's like a family."
That is really close as a family, for example, Hans Zhou's wife is a Slavic girl, Hans Zhou said this with full confidence.
Hans Zhou asked: "By the way, sir, you are also from the Far East! What do you do?"
Li Ji: "We are the doctors of the Far East."
Li Ji quickly explained: "We are not immigrants, we are sent by the Far East government to support the East African Kingdom."
Hans Zhou: "It's all the same, it's all the same. Our East African kingdom respects doctors and teachers very much, especially doctors, which are very rare in East Africa."
Li Ji: "Oh! Are there very few doctors in your East African Kingdom? I know that Western countries also have their own doctors in the capital. It seems to be called Western medicine, especially good at surgery."
Hans Zhou: "I have never seen or heard of western medicine. In East Africa, we only have the title of doctor, but I heard that the military doctors in the army are good at surgery, but they can only disinfect, bandage and other simple things. Operation."
Speaking of this, Li Ji became interested: "Then what is the difference between your doctors here and the doctors in the Far East?"
Hans Zhou: "It seems that there is not much difference. The doctors in the Dar es Salaam City Hospital are also immigrants from the Far East. They also cook medicine and prescribe prescriptions."
It turns out that they are colleagues from the motherland, which makes Li Ji a little disappointed: "Then there is no real western medicine?"
Hans Zhou: "The so-called Western medicine you mentioned doesn't mean the white doctors in Europe, right?"
Li Ji: "It should be, no, it's a white doctor."
Hans Zhou: "I have never seen this kind of doctor, but I heard that the doctor in the palace should be what you call Western medicine."
Li Ji: "Could this be the imperial physician of the East African Kingdom!"
Hans Zhou: "I don't know, I just heard about it. After all, I have only been to the Dar es Salaam City Hospital."
Li Ji: "Does hospital mean medical center?"
Hans Zhou: "The hospital is the place where the doctors stay. It is much larger than the Far East Medical Center. There are three floors and hundreds of rooms are the hospital."
Hundreds of houses! Li Ji and the others were a little surprised, how big should it be? I am afraid that only the Imperial Hospital in the Forbidden City can compare! But Li Ji couldn't bear to think about it, because the cafeteria had already arrived.
There are four canteens at the immigration transition point, the smallest of which is the staff canteen of the Immigration Department.
Entering the door is the hall. There are a hundred tables in the hall, which are divided into three rows. In order to provide catering services for the aid group, the meal time is specially separated from the staff. Now that the sky is dark, everyone in the aid group is 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 is one person who has been cooking for a long time. It is none other than Aryan, the translator of the East African Embassy Distribution Assistance Group.
Aryan is a student of Hechingen School after all, and he also ate in the cafeteria for several months, so he is very familiar with the process.
Aryan: "Hey, can I choose my own meal? I thought it was directly distributed!"
"In the beginning it was allocated, but now the conditions are better! So there are more types of food."
Aryan: "So that's the case, then give me two breads, a piece of shredded pork with green peppers, and what's the soup over there?"
"Tomato and onion beef soup."
"Italian way?"
"You guessed it right. A new Italian chef came in a few days ago. He made this soup."
"Haha, I've seen it in Trieste, but I haven't eaten it. Give me a small bowl."
"okay!"
After choosing the dishes, Aryan sat down at the table with a plate to enjoy the dinner. After doing this, he also made a sample for the people in the aid group. They all took the plate and started cooking.
Li Ge: "The food for ordinary people in this East African kingdom is really good! There are many varieties and meat."
Ander: "Yes! Back then, when I was studying, I didn't talk about my family's poverty, but I only had two pickles and a bowl of millet porridge. Occasionally, I could only eat two eggs during festivals. Later, when I was admitted as a scholar, the family conditions began. Improve, and wait until Juren has a chance to enjoy it.”
Li Ge: "Hey, whoever says it's not, can only be a master if he suffers from hardships."
In front of the desk in the corner of the wall.
Li Ji said to the three roommates: "The food in this East African kingdom is really good! I think I can be regarded as a high income in the Far East, but I dare not be so extravagant in food. I am usually diligent and thrifty to manage the house. Ordinary people in this East African kingdom You can eat big fish and meat."
Doctors have always had a high income, which is why Li Jic said so, but Li Ji's economic conditions also make it impossible for him to spend a lot of money every day.
The living standards of East Africans are of course not so exaggerated, but because of the special nature of the aid group, there is such a rich meal. Medical talents are naturally treated differently.
As for why Aryan, a foodie, didn't find out, it was entirely because of his life experience. During his schooling in Hexingen, Ernst naturally wouldn't treat them badly in terms of food, but Hexingen School was modeled after Hexingen School. To maintain discipline, students are generally not allowed to choose their own food. They can eat whatever they want today, but the combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious.
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-rate.
