Alas ...
The loud whistle sounded on the sea, startled a sea bird, and at the same time shocked the long waiting time on the pier, rushing to the other side of the trestle to prepare for work.
The flying stars and stripes on the Erhai Lake indicate the origin of the ship.
A young man in a suit and a bowler hat and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, standing at the bow of the ship, looking excitedly at the crowded Chancheng Pier not far away.
Here is Qing Dynasty?
The foreigners around came and went. The young man with glasses speaks fluent bird language and can easily communicate with foreigners. There is no humility in his expression.
I waited until the ship came to the shore, and the young man in glasses took the rattan box. After the foreigners first disembarked, I was disembarked under the unpleasant eyes of the crew. I was very angry and helpless with the rudeness of the crew.
He just stopped when he stepped on the pier's hard Sanhe land and looked at the busy but orderly dock.
Clean, tidy and orderly!
It wasn't as messy as the dock he'd seen, nor was it mixed with bad thieves, and there wasn't a stench full of nose, which gave him a sense of surprise.
Here is the foolish and backward Qing state among the foreign population?
He is the United States where he was born, and all the docks along which the sea boats docked. None of the docks in front of him feel comfortable.
Look at the pulley booms that are lifted high on the pier. It is easy to lift and lower the heavy cargo carried on the sea boat. There are two luggage straps that are moved by the horses. Compared with the foreigner pier he has known, the use of machinery Not only is not bad, it is more standardized, and the efficiency is obviously higher.
Not to mention the order on the wharf, the foreigner wharf I've seen in the past is completely incomparable.
Whether it is a foreigner or a clearer, each is busy and orderly.
What surprised him most was that the arrogant foreigners I saw in the past seemed to be very peaceful and ethical here. There was no reason to get angry at the busy Qingren on the pier, and I didn't see them making an outrageous break. In the end, it just doesn't look like a foreigner's style.
The crowd density at the pier, also known as the glasses youth, was quite surprised. At a glance, it was full of people. This also showed the busy scene of the pier, and he could not stop talking.
Along the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he soon saw the brick and wood building next to the pier square, where there was a strong aroma of meals and drinks wafting, causing his stomach to growl.
I felt hungry, and subconsciously walked towards the brick and wood building.
Alas, this is ...
The crowds crowded out, and they saw a neat row of brick and wood structure shops, including pubs and restaurants, fruit shops and grocery stores, etc. Basically, the daily life items that can be seen on the market are large. Some are sold.
Howling he felt weird is that most of the customers who came and went to these shops were foreigners, and only a few of them were patronizing. I don't know what happened.
In addition, there are young and strong guards outside these stores, which are not easy to mess with at first glance. From time to time, there are teams of young and old who are patrolling back and forth. The protection is tight.
It ’s just that if you have this, this is just a place to eat and shop.
He didn't think that much, walked into the restaurant with the strongest flavor of the food, and invited Xiao Er to stutter for a few special dishes and no drinks. When the food came to the table, gobble it up. After eating the food on the table cleanly, he was really hungry. Of course, the food in the restaurant was very delicious.
"This, this, this meal, how, how, how so, how expensive?"
When I waited to pay, the price of the meal was unexpectedly expensive, and it was not much worse than the meal on board. The young man in glasses thought that the restaurant was killing people.
"Guest, these dock shops are all foreigners, and the price is not high!"
Jain shop buddy is not angry, just tell a fact called glasses youth speechless.
Some meat hurt and paid for the meal. He planned to leave directly. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper who asked for the money suddenly asked: "Guest, do you want to go inside?"
The young man with glasses moved his mind, remembering what the shop Xiao Er said, the shop here at the dock is specially opened for foreigners, and the facilities inside should be similar.
"All, all, all, yes, some, what fun, fun!"
I talked badly and stuttered a few words, but the young man in glasses said it for a long time, and it was so sweaty that his forehead was dry and not depressed.
Dian Xiaoer was tired, but fortunately, the service attitude of this guy was really good. After listening to the inquiry from the young glasses, he immediately introduced enthusiastically: "There are gambling houses, there are green houses, and there is the most lively platform competition. I do n’t know the guest officer. Where do you want to go? "
The youth of glasses is showing dissatisfaction. Where is this?
Gao Qinglou Gambling House is not a good place, and it is also a shop specialized in foreign business.
He came to San Francisco from San Francisco a long way, but he didn't want to contaminate these harmful things. Neither the green house nor the gambling house was a place he was willing to go to.
Dian Xiaoer's ability to observe and observe colors is good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Seeing young people with unhappy faces in glasses, he noticed the problem as soon as he turned his head, and hurriedly turned back and laughed: "If the guest officer doesn't like the places where there is fun, it is better to go to a platform Today, there are two disciples of Master Huang, masters of Chancheng martial arts!
"Oh, Master Huang, you are not Master Huang of Bao Zhilin, right?"
The young spectacled man was interested and couldn't wait to ask; "Did his disciples also take part in the pit fight? If so, then I really have a good insight!"
"Exactly!"
Xiaodian Xiaoer hurriedly nodded and smiled; "I will definitely not disappoint the guest officer!"
No need to remind the shop ’s Xiao Er, the youth of glasses actively offered a small piece of broken silver as a tip, and the shop ’s younger was so happy that he turned to the large building behind the shop.
I spent more than a dozen copper plate tickets at the door and entered the Huandai Doudou area through a long passage. Suddenly a deafening cheering and shouting poured into my ears, shocking the young glasses.
I waited for him to gradually adjust to the surrounding environment, and squinted his eyes and looked at the platform in the center of the field. The scene above was startled, he was stunned, and his mouth was so wide that he didn't close his mouth.
强 A bald young man with a strong body and a sturdy, naked upper body, was knocking to the ground with a punch that was taller and stronger than a blond man.
A slamming sound made me feel sore, and the strong man of the foreigner was obviously not injured, and he couldn't get up even if he struggled.
Uh ...
Seeing this scene, the young man in glasses couldn't help taking a sigh of relief, not to mention the strength of the bald young man who could overwhelm a foreigner who was stronger than him. He simply gave him the ruthless fierceness and gave him Scared.
When will the Chinese be so bright and upright?
