1082 A sense of justice is overwhelming
To understand Nyasaland, we must first understand Chinese culture, and without understanding Chinese culture, we cannot understand the scene of harmony between the police and the people in the square in front of the State Museum.
The morning visit was an eye-opener for Mr. and Mrs. Alex, who had previously only known about the Orient to Marco Polo's Travels, but now they were finally more impressed by these objects and materials.
To be honest, there is a market for museums among whites, and museums basically don't make much sense to the Chinese.
If you think about it, you can understand that before the Opium War, who didn't have a few old objects, there was really no need to put them in the museum.
Even if someone starts a museum on a whim, it is estimated that few people will visit it, and the collection in the museum is not as valuable as the collection at home.
In the words of the Chinese, this is not called commemoration, this is called manifestation.
After visiting the museum and coming to the Sunset Restaurant next to Sunset Boulevard, the Alex couple felt another kind of amazement.
To illustrate, during the World War, fish and french fries became the favorite food of the British people due to shortages, and these two foods are now becoming very representative of the British food.
The difference in the abundance of food in southern Africa and the United Kingdom is probably similar to that of the Chinese and the British.
The gap between production and cooking technology is even greater, Britain actually has frying, roasting and stewing, the biggest gap is in "stir-frying", so that an ordinary Englishman understands the difficulty of "wide oil", probably as difficult as letting a person who has never learned English read the English version of Shakespeare.
The owner of Sunset Restaurant is said to be a royal chef from the Oriental royal family, and he is best at making a delicacy called "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall", but because of the high requirements for ingredients, the Buddha Jumping over the Wall must be booked in advance to eat, and tourists like Alex and his wife do not have a chance at all.
Even so, the food served at Sunset Restaurant still delighted the taste buds of the Alexes, a delicacy called flower chicken left a deep impression on the Alexes, the chef ingeniously hid the seasoning in the belly of the chicken, and then wrapped a layer of lotus leaves on the outside of the chicken, and then wrapped a layer of tin foil on the outside of the lotus leaf, and the outer part of the tin foil was coated with mud, and a chicken was roasted for nearly four hours.
Mr. and Mrs. Alex also roast turkey every Christmas.
Compared with the flower chicken in the sunset restaurant, Alex feels that he is a primitive person who drinks blood, and has lived in dire straits for the past few decades, and at this time Alex finally understood a Tang poem he had just learned in the morning: 300 lychees a day, and he will not hesitate to be a Lingnan person.
For Alex, it's probably a day called a flower chicken, willing to join the Los Angeles nationality.
After lunch, if it weren't for the temptation of flying, Alex would actually want to go back to the hotel and get a good night's sleep, because only in this way can Alex feel that his life is complete.
But thinking about the temptation of flying, the Alex couple went to a flying club in the suburbs with great interest.
There are actually airports in the UK now, but the number of planes is not large, and plane tickets are also hard to find, and Alex has no need to travel overseas, so he has never taken a plane.
In Alex's imagination, the flying club should be a high-end venue similar to a billiard club, but he didn't expect that to be the case at all.
That's right, in the United Kingdom, billiards is a gentleman's sport similar to golf, but not in southern Africa, the Chinese always have the ability to turn high-end into cabbage, and there are many billiard tables in the flying club, and anyone can pick up a cue and play a few times.
No money, no money!
"Airplanes are becoming more and more common now, and many people in Nyasaland will use their free time to learn to fly, not just flying, paramotoring, paragliding, and even skydiving, which has become the most popular sport in the last two years, and this flying club is the largest flying club in Los Angeles, with several fighter jets and bombers that were retired after the World War, and we have reservations for fighter jets, and there will be professional pilots to take you to the skies when the time comes." Montgomery was as conscientious as ever.
There are a lot of people in the flying club, and there are also many people waiting to take to the skies to experience the thrill of flying.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Alex sat down, they heard someone next to them chatting loudly.
"When I return to the United States, I will also set up a flying club like this, and I will definitely make a lot of money by getting dozens of planes." A guy with freckles on his face is ashamed to speak, and the pores on his face are clearly visible.
Don't be surprised, most white people look like this, women's faces are full of freckles, men generally have large pores, and their faces are all that kind of yellow fluff, which looks a little dirty, which is fundamentally different from the white in the Chinese concept.
The "whiteness" of the white people is a slightly morbid pale in the concept of the Chinese, and it looks like vitiligo, which is neither clean nor healthy.
The most unacceptable thing for white people is body odor, inactivity can be acceptable if there is perfume to cover it, if there is strenuous activity, the smell is the same as a special biological weapon, worse than fox odor, soaked in perfume is useless.
Also unacceptable is the figure, the white man's body develops relatively early, basically in his early twenties, he looks like an uncle in his thirties with a big beard, and he is also seventeen or eighteen years old, the difference between Chinese and white people is not big, after the age of twenty, white people will age sharply, they are still beautiful like flowers in the last second, and they will become aunts in the next second.
"Ha, look at that fellow, her waist is as thick as a bucket, if she gets on the plane, won't the plane fly—" The freckled young man's companion laughed loudly, pointing at a slightly chubby girl.
It's just a little fat, and it's definitely not as exaggerated as a bucket.
Of course, it may also be that the freckles young man's companion has a thinner bucket at home.
When the chubby girl heard the words of her freckled young companion, she immediately turned red and overwhelmed.
"What an uncultured fellow, American?" Alex was embarrassed, and it was too much in public.
"It should be, Americans—" Montgomery was also helpless, as more and more Americans went abroad, more and more people hated Americans.
Some people seem to be born with no regard for other people's eyes, unscrupulous, rude, impolite, uneducated, and all of them seem to be things that no one raises in life.
In fact, there are such people everywhere, but the United States seems to have a lot of them.
"God forbid don't let me be on the same plane as her, I'm afraid her meat will squeeze on me." The guy who wants to start a flying club is also uneducated.
"Then you're miserable, if it were me, I'd throw her off the plane." The companions danced as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You two, can you be quiet!" Finally, someone couldn't listen to it anymore and took the initiative to stand up and stop it.
"Shut up, old thing, it's none of your business." The guy who wants to open the flying club sneers at each other, and the person who takes the initiative to stop it has a little gray hair.
"You two little ones have gone too far, you must apologize to this girl and this gentleman, and get out of here before I can beat you up." A strong man with arms thicker than his neck stepped forward.
"This—and that has nothing to do with you—" The two guys, who had just been staring at no one, immediately turned into shivering chicks.
"No, it has something to do with all of us, we all heard it just now, you two nasty guys, you are really uneducated!" More people will soon come forward.
"Americans, understandable—"
"Sure enough, the offspring of thieves and robbers!"
"They don't have parents, and they should ask their parents how they educate their children."
There were a lot of people who couldn't bear it, and the two chicks looked at them in horror, not realizing that their actions had offended the anger of the public.
At this time, the girl who was at a loss just now was finally moved to tears, and immediately a lady took the initiative to take out a handkerchief and came to the girl's side to comfort her softly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What do you want to do? "The parents of the two chicks finally appeared.
"How do you educate your children?"
"Your child just verbally assaulted that girl for no reason!"
"You should apologize to that child and keep your child in strict condition."
Without the girl talking, more than a dozen people returned the behavior of the two bear children just now.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry—" The parents of the bear children were busy apologizing, and the two bear children did not say a word.
"The people here have a great sense of justice!" Alex, who witnessed all this, was very touched, and unlike London, which was indifferent, the city of Los Angeles was instantly full of human touch.
"There is no lack of courage!" Mrs. Alex is the icing on the cake.
At this time, a police officer came, and I don't know who called the police.
Mr. and Mrs. Alex never knew that verbal violence was a crime.
"Girl, did they just commit a violent verbal attack on you?" The police came up and questioned the girl.
"Be brave enough to tell the officer what just happened, and you have to be brave enough to protect your interests." The lady who had been comforting her by her side looked at the two bear children with disgust.
"Yes, be brave, little girl, don't be afraid, we can all testify for you."
"Those who make mistakes must pay!"
"It's too much, the little girl is just a little fatter, and they threaten to throw people off the plane."
The people with a sense of justice were chattering, and the expressions of the two police officers gradually became serious.
If you just laugh at the girl for being a little fat, then apologize sincerely.
Threatening to drop someone off a plane is a serious crime, even if it's just a threat.
