African Nationhood

Chapter 93 Mr. Three (Part )
  Cai Shaoji and Shi Jinyong looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning of the little girl's words.

With Shi Wenyuan's virtue and Miss Ye's beauty, he could indeed do it.

Immediately, both of them secretly told themselves to have more respect for Ye Rong in the future.

Otherwise, an inexplicable "pillow storm" will ruin your future.

Ouyang Geng also secretly complained that Shi Wenyuan was unreasonable and had all the good-looking girls in his hands.

……

Ye Rong quickly returned to normal and took the three of them into the train station. Then she took out her military stamps and bought four tickets.

Cai Shaoji carefully looked at the ticket in his hand and was a little curious about the military ticket Ye Rong just bought.

"Commissioner Ye, can you show me your military tickets?"

Ye Rong nodded, took out a calf leather wallet from his pocket, took out several military coupons of different denominations and handed them to Cai Shaoji.

Cai Shaoji saw that the leather clip in her hand was beautifully decorated, with hibiscus flowers embroidered on it.

I couldn't help but praise: "This embroidery is good!"

The blush on Ye Rong's face returned, "This leather wallet was given to me by Mr. Shi. I thought it was too monotonous, so I embroidered it to decorate it."

Cai Shaoji nodded immediately, "It seems that it's your skill, girl, that makes the embroidery so exquisite."

Ye Rong, who had been lecturing others with a straight face just now, didn't mind being called a girl now.

She frowned and said sheepishly: "No, I haven't learned embroidery for a few years.

Moreover, this cowhide is not easy to embroider, so I spent a lot of needlework and thread to get it somewhat decent. "

Shi Jinyong expressed his appreciation for Ye Rong's self-effacement, "Commissioner Ye, you are exquisite in embroidery, but you are not conceited, which is very rare!"

Ye Rong was embarrassed by the praise. It happened that the train arrived at the station at this time, and the roar of the train made the ground tremble.

Ye Rong quickly straightened her expression and took the three of them onto the train.

This train is not big, with only 3 carriages. The driver of the train is white, and the co-pilot is Chinese.

Ye Rong took the opportunity to introduce the situation on the train, "The white people on this train were invited by the British, and they are responsible for teaching us Chinese apprentices.

After completing their studies, white technicians will receive cash rewards.

Depending on the number of apprentices taught, the benefits will be different. The most skilled technicians can receive dozens or hundreds of pounds. "

Cai Shaoji couldn't help but asked curiously, "Why is this?"

Ye Rong sighed, "It's not like these white people are arrogant, have skills but don't like teaching.

Mr. Shi then asked people to negotiate with them, and finally promised to give him a reward of 5 pounds for every apprentice he taught.

We in Southwest Africa spent money and eventually learned skills, which is not a loss.

It's just that I haven't mastered the technology of building railways yet, so I don't know how much money Mr. Shi will spend. "

Cai Shaoji and Shi Jinyong also sighed, "Nothing is easy in this world, but as long as we have perseverance, we can learn it and eventually surpass them!"

After Cai Shaoji finished speaking, he felt a heavy burden on himself.

Shi Wenyuan brought the three of them here first because he wanted them to teach the students in Southwest Africa and master more modern knowledge.

Shi Jinyong also nodded, "Commissioner Ye, don't worry, we came to Southwest Africa to teach children more new knowledge."

Ye Rong nodded in agreement, "I will trouble you gentlemen in the future."

……

After Ouyang Geng got in the car, he observed the scenery outside, while Shi Jinyong was attracted by the scenery outside the car window and pestered Ye Rong to explain.

Cai Shaoji focused on those military stamps. The printing of these military stamps was very rough and the paper quality was poor.

Aren’t you afraid of imitation? How to prevent it if someone imitates it?
  Shi Wenyuan had great vision and would never ignore such an obvious loophole.

Judging from his behavior, there must be an ambush on this military ticket. I don’t know what method he used.

Remember to write a note to Shi Wenyuan later. It would be best if he takes precautions.

If I don't take precautions, I can leave a good impression in front of him.

Forty kilometers away, only an hour's drive. When the four people got out of the car, Cai Shaoji discovered that this place was also built on sand.

Moreover, most of the buildings here have exposed red bricks, which are not as complete as the buildings in Walvis Bay.

Shi Jinyong was curious about the baby's question: "Why are the buildings here so new?"

Ye Rong explained: “The construction of this town started last year, so all the facilities are very new.

This town is also the place where all immigrants from the Qing Dynasty must come.

All Qing immigrants had to receive primary education here, learning literacy and arithmetic. "

Ouyang Geng nodded and couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going now?"

Ye Rong pointed to the three-story restaurant to the east of the train station and said: "When we arrive at Anhai Town, I will naturally meet you gentlemen. You can follow me."

The four of them soon arrived at Sihai Restaurant. As soon as they entered, a waiter came over with a smile on his face, "Hey, Commissioner Ye is here. Come in and invite us."

Ye Rong nodded, and then said to the three people behind her: "You three gentlemen, please go to the private room on the second floor. I will call the other committee members over."

When we got here, we naturally followed Ye Rong's arrangements and followed the waiter to the private room on the second floor.

The three of them relaxed and looked at the decoration of the box and the lively atmosphere downstairs. They all felt fresh and warm.

It has been nearly 10 years since I left my country and home, and now I have finally returned to a country that is not like my homeland.

Surrounded by the customs of their homeland, they unconsciously missed their respective families.

"buckle"

There was a knock on the box door, and Cai Shaoji said softly: "Please come in."

The person who opened the door and walked in was a tall and thin waiter, wearing a black Bayi-style dress on the upper body and matching black trousers on the lower body.

The waiter held a tray in his hand and said to the three people with a smile: "Three distinguished guests have worked hard. Here is the green tea prepared by our restaurant for our distinguished guests. Please taste it first to quench your thirst."

Shi Jinyong looked at the new clothes on the waiter and asked, "Brother, how much does this outfit cost for you?"

The waiter smiled and replied: "My clothes are a bit expensive. The military coupon for a top is 550 yuan, and the trousers are cheaper at 250 military coupons."

After listening to the waiter's answer, the three of them calculated in their minds how many dollars these military tickets would cost.

Shi Jinyong nodded, "Thank you."

The waiter said no and left.

Seeing the door of the private room closing, Shi Jinyong spoke first: "How much does a 550-yuan military note cost in US dollars? Does any of you know?"

Cai Shaoji shrugged, "I forgot to ask Commissioner Ye just now, it shouldn't be too many.

It only costs a few dozen dollars to buy one in the United States, so it shouldn't be too expensive here. "

“Yes, it’s not that expensive, a 550 yuan military stamp is equivalent to 27.5 US dollars.

If you find it too expensive, you can buy linen, which only costs more than 200 military coupons. "

The person who spoke was a tall, thin young man with narrowed eyes, it was Qin Mo who had just arrived.

He bowed to the three of them and said, "I have met these three gentlemen before I came to Qin Mo."

The three of them hurriedly stood up and waved to Qin Mo, who was his age, and said, "Don't be polite. Mr. Qin, please take a seat."

Before Qin Mo could sit down, another young man with a thin face and big eyes came in behind him.

Like Qin Mo, he also bowed to the three gentlemen in the room.

"Li Tong met three gentlemen at the end of his studies."

Cai Shaoji and others stood up again and invited Li Tong to take a seat.

Then, as if stirring up a hornet's nest, someone came in and bowed to the three of them.

All three of them were exhausted. Why were there so many people?

Ye Rong was the last one to arrive. She was carrying two wine jars in her hands and said with a smile: "This is the 'Shijia Laojiao' wine brewed by Mr. Shi himself. Today is a good day for the arrival of the three gentlemen. I will bring it to you." You guys have a taste.”
