Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 2 Amazing
While thinking about the problem, Wufeng's eyes are also randomly looking around. The area on the second floor is quite large, enough to accommodate two to three hundred people tasting tea at the same time. A dozen or so tea doctors wore handkerchiefs on their shoulders and carried kettles. The tea customers upstairs seem to be a little more locals, because this place is next to the residential area of Qingyang South City. However, there are also several inns on both sides of this teahouse, so there are many foreign tourists here to rest and drink tea.
The two middle-aged men on the left front side are talking quietly in a low voice. The language they are talking with may not be understood by the locals next to them, but Wufeng, who has stayed in the Western Continent for a while, knows what they are talking about. The most common Lanian language in the Western Continent. Lania is the foundation of the languages of the countries in the Western Continent. Although the languages of the countries in the Western Continent are different, they are all developed from Lania, but there are some local slang and pronunciation that are different.
The two of them were Caucasian from the Western Continent at a glance, with blue eyes and yellow hair, but their clothes looked a bit shabby, and their faces were dusty. Since a large number of immigrants came from the Central and Western Mainland in the past two years, and the Caucasian population is relatively common in Qingyang City, the images of the two are not eye-catching.
The younger man is comforting his companion: "John, don't be so sad, we dragged our mouths to get here with great difficulty, we should be happy."
"Hey, I can't speak here, and I have run out of money, what should I do now? The family is still waiting for dinner. Oh, by the way, Carl, you have been out for so long this afternoon, what news do you have?" The companion is A thin man with a sad face.
"Of course there is good news. I went to the administrative department of the city government office to find out. The people here are really enthusiastic. I heard that we came here from afar to make a living, so I asked what skills we have. They said that they can make wine and carpentry, and that you can smelt iron. They all said that there are new factories opening up everywhere in the city and outside the city. Every day, many bosses who recruit skilled workers are recruiting in the employment agency under the administrative department. People, if you want us to go there every morning to have a look, and advised me not to rush to apply for a job, I should do more comparisons and choose a job with a higher salary. I walked around there and saw many job seekers. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I didn’t bother to look more and came back.” The man named Carl said with joy.
After hearing Carl's introduction, the man named John cheered up a little, and quickly asked, "Can they understand us too?"
"There are dedicated interpreters there, and they can speak Lania better than me. I also met a few people from the countries of the Hansen Alliance who were also looking for jobs there, and I even greeted them. I don’t think their Tang dialect is very difficult to learn, I’ve learned a few words.” After speaking, Carl ostentatiously said a few simple Tang dialects.
"Hmph, you are so interested in playing these things now, let's find a job and settle down first, and I also heard from the owner of the inn that if we can pass the credit evaluation of the local government, we can rely on the credit evaluation of the local government Credit guarantee to any bank here, they call it Qianzhuang here, and get a certain amount of loan. Although it is not much, it can at least maintain the life of the whole family for a few weeks." John seemed much more mature.
"I also know this. In the yamen, they have already told me. If we have a regular job, we will be able to obtain local household registration in a month, and then we can apply for renting low-cost housing subsidized by the government. One year later, we can still apply for a loan for buying land and building a house. At that time, our two families can live together again." Carl is obviously much more optimistic, and is already looking forward to a better tomorrow.
"Don't think about beautiful things, how much does it cost to buy land and repair a house? You want to repair a house in a year, so stop dreaming. The child is going to study soon, doesn't it cost money? Renting a house always pays off Buy some household items, or the whole family will sleep on the floor? If you don’t save two dollars, what will you do if you get sick?” John asked Carl a few questions, which made Carl speechless.
Stunned for a moment, Carl returned to his optimistic look: "I heard that almost all the schools here are run by the government. The fees are very low, and ordinary people can afford it. I don't believe it, just the two of us With strength and skill, can’t you still support a family? The people at the agency told me that skilled workers with skills are very attractive, and their wages are much higher than ordinary people.”
Looking at his partner's confident look, John knew that his partner had always looked like an optimist since he was a child, so he shook his head, "Okay, okay, let's talk about everything when we find a job tomorrow. It would be nice to find a factory that can take care of our family."
A ray of trouble was also diluted by the conversation between the two people next to them. It has been a long time since I heard pure Lania. When I recalled my youthful career at Heidelberg University, the things that were already somewhat vague The past events came to mind clearly, and I don’t know what the former schoolmates are doing now. Maybe they are already working hard for their own goals.
"Come, come!" There was a sudden commotion in the already noisy teahouse.
Wufeng, who was immersed in the past, was suddenly interrupted by the sudden shout, and he turned his head to look at the place where the sound came out, and saw that the hall that was originally crowded with tea customers had been killed It opened up, revealing an open space. A tea doctor brought a high chair and put it in the middle, followed by a tall and thin old man wearing a traditional long gown of the Tang nationality.
The old man held a piece of wood in his left hand and a large black folding fan in his right. In front of the old man sitting high on the chair.
Wu Feng knew at a glance that it must be a storyteller, this is the most common entertainer in teahouses and wine houses all over the empire.
However, since the empire produced a few well-known storytellers in recent decades, storytellers have caused a sensation everywhere, and the status of storytellers has improved significantly. The most famous one is "Dongliuxi" Tang, South Xie North King" four people. Liu Zhongyuan in the east, Tang Guozhong in the west Tang, Xie Yixuan in the south, and Wang Shifu in the north. Liu Zhongyuan is mainly active in the East China Sea and Jiangnan area, Tang Guozhong is walking in Heshuo and Kansai, Xie Yixuan is active in the imperial capital, Beiyuan, and Yanyun area, and Wang Shifu is performing in Wuhu, Sanjiang, and Tiannan counties. However, in recent years, these four people have seldom performed in person, at most, their disciples and grandchildren will perform on stage.
It seems that this old man is also a well-known storyteller in the local area, otherwise he would not have such a big air.
"Brother Feng, why did you come here to drink tea alone?" A wonderful voice came from behind, Wufeng didn't turn his head, knowing that it was Guan Yingying, his pillow, how could this little girl find her? here?
Guan Yingying unceremoniously sat beside Wufeng, and a scent of roses wafted from her side.
Wufeng knew that this was Yingying's favorite flower oil, and it was imported from the Grand Duchy of Sophia, Hansen Alliance in the western continent. The empire did not produce this kind of thing, and the price was extremely expensive. This kind of flower oil is made by extracting a large number of fresh rose petals through a special method, and then refined through an extremely complicated process. It not only maintains the strong floral fragrance of roses, but also is quite long-lasting. It is also rare among the upper-class women in the Western Continent. items, even rarer among the imperial high society women.
This is a small banquet held by Wufeng and Yingying at a famous business group in the Western Continent to thank the Northwest County Government for its warm reception. A perfume merchant in the business group gave it to Guan Yingying. Because familiar businessmen have introduced that as a parent official in a locality, Li Wufeng never personally accepts gifts from the people in his own territory or those who work in his own territory, no one is an exception, and the women around him are the same. But everyone has a love of beauty, especially young and beautiful women. Although this businessman is from the Western Continent, he also understands the truth that women are the ones who please him, so he gave Guan Yingying a vase of flowers Oil, in the euphemistic name, is for advertising, not for sale.
Originally, Guan Yingying didn't want to accept it. This kind of thing happened a lot, but the refreshing fragrance immediately touched Guan Yingying's heart, but she also knew the rules set by her lover, so she had to Looking at Wufeng eagerly, Wufeng's generous escrow Yingying accepted it, and then gave a piece of precious porcelain in return.
Guan Yingying's pretty face and touching mixed-race style immediately attracted the attention of almost all the men in the teahouse, even the indifferent young man who had been sitting opposite, but Guan Yingying was already familiar with such a scene. It's commonplace, he sat down next to Wufeng generously, and signaled Dr. Cha, who was standing stunned by the side, to serve him a bowl of tea as well, Dr. Cha nodded and bowed away as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Immediately, there was a burst of whispering voices beside Wufeng, obviously talking about the man next to him's good luck, even the two middle-aged businessmen behind him and the two people from the Western Continent were also envious.
Wufeng couldn't help laughing wryly, he planned to enjoy the civilian life quietly, but he didn't expect to become the focus of everyone's attention in the teahouse before his **** was hot~IndoMTL.com~ Well, Yingying, you How did you find it here? "Wu Feng tried to lower his voice and asked, trying not to attract people's attention.
"On the way back, I saw Xue Jinzhong and the others in plain clothes, sneaking around the street, so I asked them where they were doing, and they told me that you came here alone, and I came over Take a look." Yingying also realized that she had become the focus of everyone, she lowered her head and answered quietly.
"Oh, I'm going out to relax, I don't want to be disturbed by others, so I can relax by myself." Wu Feng picked up the tea that Dr. Tea had made for Yingying, blew it gently, and handed it to her.
"Then you should also take sister Qin or Yun Yi with you. By the way, Brother Feng, am I not disturbing you?"
Looking at the charming face of the beautiful woman in front of him, blue eyes and red hair, plump red lips, the charming aura unique to young women disturbed Wu Feng's mind. Wu Feng only felt a surge of heat rising from his lower body, which seemed to be out of control.
Hurrying to control himself with luck, it was hard to suppress the eager fire of desire, Wufeng said to himself, I will only enjoy this beauty in front of me when I go back tonight. Although Guan Yingying has long been his own confinement, her childish nature, which will never grow up, has never changed. This may be the most attractive thing about her besides her wonderful body, Wu Feng secretly think.
Seeing that her lover was in a daze, and her eyes revealed a familiar light, Guan Yingying's face also turned red, she knew her lover too well, she shyly pushed Wufeng's arm, "Brother Feng, People are asking you." Then he said in an almost inaudible voice: "You should die, go back at night, you can do whatever you want."
