Chapter 347: Dinner
District 23, Dormitory 013
While Li Ge and Ander were observing East Africa, the accompanying team of doctors were not idle either. Today Dar es Sala What they saw and heard in Mu City was really eye-opening for them.
Li Ji spread the mattress and said, "The imperial court did not lie to us. This so-called East African Kingdom is indeed as good as what they said. It has the feeling of Tao Yuanming saying that the houses are neat and the streets are connected. , especially the urban construction is really eye-opening and quite refreshing.”
“No, no! Brother An, it seems to me that most of these East African kingdoms are uncivilized. They are dressed in strange clothes. I don’t know if you have noticed during the day. There are many Chinese in the streets and alleys. Even their braids have been cut off and they have short hair less than an inch. They are just like monks. Aren’t they afraid of going to hell and being ashamed of their ancestors? ”
"Yuan Ye! I'm not telling you, this is not the Far East, but an overseas country, a land of Western barbarians. The race of people is very different from that of our dynasty. It's also because we have less experience and don't know what the people overseas look like. Today I can count I have seen that, as the rumors say, the ancient Kunlun slaves, with their blond hair, blue eyes and shape like Rakshasa, as well as their dark bodies, are also like me, the Chinese, as you said, but they may not be from the Central Plains! We are in Malacca! Strait and Annan have also seen many barbarians with similar looks."
"Brother An, I am determined not to be wrong. Although this German speaks in bird language, today I am at the end of the team. I happened to overhear two people talking on the side of the road. They were speaking Chinese, and they were speaking in northern dialect. As a person from Daming Mansion, I would not be confused!” It is possible to know the reason." A person on the side suddenly said: "You also know that I am from Jinan Prefecture. Although I rarely go outside Jinan City, I still go to the countryside for free clinics every once in a while. It's a coincidence. , once when I was in the countryside, I happened to meet someone who was preaching about overseas paradise in the village where I gave free clinics. Many people were deceived by him. At that time, I only thought he was a liar. Now that I am in East Africa, I suddenly realize that that person The clothes are exactly the same as those of many residents in Da City today. It turns out that this so-called "overseas paradise" refers to the Kingdom of East Africa, and this is where those people went!"
Yuan Ye: "So that's it! , those people are also our Central Atomic Citizens!”
“Inseparable, I think many people in this East African Kingdom are probably my Chinese people who have moved overseas.”
Yuan Ye: "If I, a Chinese people, still shave my hair, change clothes, and learn from foreigners, it is simply... simply..."
"Brother Zhengmu (Yuan Ye), there is no need to be too harsh, say 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 the case... ugh! ! The body and skin are affected by the parents. Sin, sin!"
Li Ji: "Yuan Ye, I have to say a few words. Although Xiyi is bad in many ways, they should have some advantages. , such as this strange skill, is much more advanced than ours, and over the years, everyone has actually known that the country's situation is worrying! The country is invaded from time to time at sea, and natural disasters are more frequent. There are droughts and floods. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people have a hard time."
Yuan Ye: "Brother An, I admit that the country is in some difficulties now, but natural disasters and man-made disasters should always be avoided. In the past, the imperial court is now rebuilding its military strength, the civil strife has disappeared, and it is just around the corner to defend against foreign countries. ”
Li Ji: "That's true, but how long do you mean it's just around the corner? The imperial court can afford to wait, but ordinary people can't afford to wait. If they can't have food for a few days, they won't be able to survive. Faced with the dilemma of survival, they won't What matters about ethics and integrity, is to survive first. Not to mention solving most of the problems for them in this East African kingdom, as long as they give them food, I am afraid there will be many people who are willing to go to pieces."
"Oh, Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. Everyone should know how the country is doing. However, my Chinese spirit is to persevere and strive for self-improvement. I believe that one day the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties will be restored."
" said. Great!" said the other three people in the dormitory.
Dong dong dong... a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Someone is coming! I'll open the door."
Li Ji opened the door and saw a young man standing in front of the door. He was an employee of the East African Immigration Agency.
"It's time for dinner, everyone! I'm taking you to the cafeteria to eat."
"Oh, thank you little brother, we'll come over now, wait a moment." Li Ji said politely.
The four people 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 Department employee: "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, how come you have a foreign name!"
Hans ·Zhou: "What foreigner? I am a German now."
Li Ji: "Okay, German , then how did you come to the East African Kingdom? And how did you become German? Judging from your accent, you should have been from Shandong, Henan!"
Hans Zhou: "My hometown is indeed Shandong. Yes, but when they finally immigrated to East Africa, they naturally became Germans.”
Li Ji: "Uh... I want to say, is there no threshold for becoming a German? They won't look down on you, right!"
Hans Zhou: "What threshold! After I came to East Africa, I automatically He has become a German! As for discrimination, why? We in the East African Kingdom believe that everyone is equal and don’t do that.”
Black people: “★※ァ(○Д○)”
Li Ji: "Then, are there really no differences due to living habits?"
Hans Zhou: "We all come from poor backgrounds, how can we have the energy to think about these things? Thanks to the great kindness of His Majesty Constantine and Crown Prince Ernst, we have a way of survival in East Africa. Naturally, we are united, friendly and like a family.”
It was really like a family. For example, Hans Zhou's wife was a Slavic girl. Hans Zhou said this with full confidence.
Hans Zhou asked: "By the way, uncle, you are also from the Far East! What do you do?"
Li Ji: "We are doctors from the Far East. "
Hans Zhou: "It turns out to be a doctor! No wonder the supervisor said to be polite to you, so I said you are not ordinary immigrants."
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, who are very rare in East Africa." Li Ji: "Oh! Do you have very few doctors in your East African Kingdom? I'm here The capital knows that Western countries also have their own doctors, which seem to be called Western medicine, and they are especially good at surgery."
Hans Zhou: "I have never seen Western medicine, and I have never heard of it. However, 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 perform simple operations such as disinfection and bandaging."
After saying this, Li Ji became interested. : "Then what's the difference between your doctors here and doctors from the Far East?"
Hans Zhou: "There doesn't seem to be much difference. The doctors in the hospital in Dar es Salaam are also immigrants from the Far East. Yes, they also make medicines and prescribe them.”
It turned out that they were colleagues from the motherland, which made Li Ji a little disappointed: "Then there is no real Western medicine?"
Hans Zhou: "The so-called Western medicine you are talking about does not specifically refer to white doctors from Europe. Let’s go!”
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 there is one in the palace. The doctor should be what you call a Western doctor."
Li Ji: "Is this the imperial doctor of the East African Kingdom?"
Hans Zhou: "I don't know. I just heard about it. After all, I have only been to Dar es Salaam Hospital."
Li Ji: "Does hospital mean medical center?"< br>
Hans Zhou: "The hospital is where doctors stay. It is much larger than the Far Eastern Medical Center. It has three floors and hundreds of rooms."
Part 1 Hundreds of houses! Li Ji and others were a little surprised. How big should it be? I'm afraid only the Imperial Hospital in the Forbidden City can compare! But there was no room for Li Ji to think too much, because the canteen had already arrived.
There are four canteens in the immigration transition point, the smallest of which is the staff canteen of the Immigration Department.
Entering the door is the lobby. There are hundreds of dining tables in the lobby, divided into three rows. In order to provide catering services to the assistance group, the dining time has been specially set aside with the employees. Now that the sky is dark, everyone in the assistance group is already hungry.
"Everyone should line up first, then receive tableware, and then choose dishes and staple food..." the staff arranged.
However, there is one person who has already started to pack food. It is none other than the translator of the East African Embassy’s Ration Assistance Mission, Aryan.
After all, Aryan is a student at Hechingen School and has been eating in the cafeteria for several months, so he is very familiar with the process.
Aryan: "Hey, can you choose your own meal? I thought it was allocated directly!"
"It was distributed in the beginning, but now the conditions are better! So there are more types of food."
Aryan: "So that's it, then give me two pieces of bread and a piece of green pepper meat first. Si, what’s that soup thing over there?”< br>
“Tomato and onion beef soup.”
“Italian recipe?”
“You guessed it right. There was a new Italian chef here a few days ago. This soup is He did it.”
"Haha, I have seen it in Trieste, but I have never eaten it. Get me a small bowl."
"Okay!"
Aryan chose the dish, He sat down at the table with his food plate and enjoyed his dinner. After doing this, he also showed it to the people in the assistance group, who took the plates and started to prepare the meal.
Li Ge: "The food eaten by ordinary people in this East African kingdom is really good! There are many kinds of food, and there is meat."
Ander: "Yes! I think back then, when I was studying, Not to mention that the family was poor, just two pickles and a bowl of millet porridge, and occasionally two eggs during the holidays. Later, when I was admitted as a scholar, my family's conditions began to improve, and I had the opportunity to enjoy it when I became a scholar. "
Li Ge: "Oh, who can say otherwise? Only by enduring hardship can one become a master."
In front of the table in the corner.
Li Ji said to the three roommates: "The food in this East African kingdom is really good! I think I have a high income in the Far East, but I don't dare to be so lavish on food. I am usually diligent and thrifty. , this East African king Ordinary people in China can only eat a lot of fish and meat.”
Doctors have always had a high income, so Li Jicai said this, but Li Ji’s economic conditions do not allow him to eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and he usually only adds some lard. Season with Xingzi.
Of course the living standards of East Africans are not that exaggerated, but because of the special nature of the aid group, there are such rich meals and medical talents, so the treatment is naturally different.
As for why Aryan, a foodie, didn't notice it, it was all because of his life experience. During their school days in Hechingen, Ernst would not treat them badly with food. It was just that the school in Hechingen was modeled after the school in Hechingen. To maintain discipline, students are generally not allowed to choose their own food. They eat whatever they want to eat today, but the food is a combination of meat and vegetables and is nutritious.
Later, as soon as Aryan graduated, he was sent to work at the East African Embassy in the Far East because of his excellent results. The food at the East African Embassy was absolutely first-class. Diplomats were already classified as officials, and the treatment was naturally the same. Not bad.
