There is a tea room next to the restaurant downstairs with air conditioning. Dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, Miao Jin suggested drinking tea for a while and waiting until dusk. Gao Xu naturally obeyed her wishes.

Both of them asked for a kind of black tea that the locals love to drink. After a while, a black girl came over with several ceramic containers, she was supposed to be Nubian. Gao Xu wasn't sure, but most of the darker-skinned ones were Nubians.

She put a plate of white sugar on the table first, and the sugar inside was spiking. Gao Xu said to Miaojin: "It seems that people like to eat sugar. ”

"Dang!" Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and Gao Xu turned around, only to see a teacup fall to the ground, falling into fragments and spilling tea on the ground. The black girl froze at once, and then she put the other teacup on the table, trembling and kneeling to pick up the pieces, muttering excitedly something she didn't understand, and wiping tears from the back of her dark hands.

After a while, a white man walked over and yelled at the black girl. He said in a very non-standard Chinese dialect: "Let's change it to a new one." ”

Gao Xu saw that the black girl was extremely emotional, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture: "Be careful, don't cut your hand." Then he looked at the man. The man translated.

Gao Xu gently pulled the man over again, then lifted his hand and lightly bumped the man's elbow; He waved down again, and his mouth made the onomatopoeia of "bang".

Now everyone understands what Gao Xu means, and sure enough, sometimes you don't need to communicate in words to express some meaning. Gao Xu said: "I'll compensate and record it in the account of the tea." ”

The black girl finally stopped crying and looked at Gao Xu in a daze.

Gao Xu calmly gestured to her, gesturing to the broom, and then pointed behind her. The black girl got up and left, and kept looking back at Gao Xu along the way. After a while, the man also left.

Miaojin looked at Gao Xu with a smile: "Are you a good person who only targets women?" ”

"You see how good it is to be a woman." Gao Xu joked. Then he whispered, "You know, why was the black girl so excited just now? She was afraid of losing her job. And she didn't mean it, it's completely forgivable. ”

Miao Jin didn't say much.

Gao Xu said with some feelings: "In such areas with backward industrial chains, the unemployment rate must be very high. Working in a foreign-funded hotel should be a good job for the black girl just now. ”

Miaojin looked convinced: "Now the Ming Dynasty talks about fraternity and equality, and you are a qualified Ming person." ”

Gao Xu said: "In my understanding, fraternity is not about loving everyone, but about trying to maintain kindness to others when there is no big conflict of interest. But how easy is it to say? The ancients said well, Cang Liao knows etiquette. ”

Miao Jin thought for a while and smiled: "I think you think that the Great Ming Kingdom is your inheritance." ”

Gao Xu couldn't refute it.

At this time, a foreign girl sitting next to him got up and walked over, and the white guy sitting there said something, but Gao Xu couldn't understand it. But he listened to the pronunciation characteristics and thought it might be French. The pronunciation characteristics of the various language families in the western countries are different, and Gao Xu has been in contact with them before.

"Are you from the Ming Kingdom?" The pronunciation of foreign girls is very non-standard, but one of the advantages of Chinese is that it can be linked to the context and guessed. She is blonde and blue-eyed, with very white skin and a standard Western European look. However, if you only look at the physiognomy, Gao Xu prefers Persian beauties and thinks that Persian eyes are more distinctive.

Miaojin said: "Yes." ”

The foreign girl's reaction was a little exaggerated, and she said happily: "Great, I'm learning Chinese." ”

Miaojin smiled: "I can hear it." ”

"It's too hard." The foreign girl spread out her hand, and the expression made by her three-dimensional facial features was very rich. She gestured to the remaining empty seats and tilted her head. Gao Xu said: "There is no one here, let's drink tea together." He then beckoned to the young man next to him, "Hello." ”

The guys also came over, and the four of them introduced each other. The guy's name is Hugo, and the chick's name is Alice. Gao Xu only found both names very interesting.

Alice asked, "Why are you lying to help her?" ”

"Maybe you can avoid the risk of her losing her job." Gao Xue said.

Alice stared at his face for a few moments, but she didn't speak, and she didn't know what she meant. Hugo next to him was already a little uncomfortable, and finally said something in French.

The girl turned her head to look at Hugo and said to Gao Xu: "He asked you, why didn't the unemployment in Europe be solved?" Many young people cannot find jobs and do not earn well. ”

"I'm just a civilian." Gao Xu said helplessly.

Hugo said in Chinese: "Liars, they. He gestured to the man who was carrying the plate.

Gao Xu couldn't figure out the exact meaning of Hugo for a while. However, Hugo's girlfriend knew him better, and Alice said: "Walking around the city, we have encountered some unpleasant things. ”

Alice asked again, "Do you like France?" ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at Miaojin. Miao Jin said: "Perfume, Paris, the people are very welcoming. ”

Alice smiled happily: "Yes, our perfume is the best." I also like Mingguo, movies, music, cars, electronics, I heard that everything is perfect there, and I can learn a lot. She rolled her eyes in a hurry, shook her head a little lost, and said, "But it's too far." ”

"The Ming people also learned a lot from Europe, and the constitutional parliamentary system borrowed from the British experience. Although the fraternity and equality advocated by the Francois Revolution, as well as the rationality of the propaganda of virtue and righteousness, and the achievements of civilization after the Renaissance, although they are different from the oriental culture, they also have many excellent things, so that we have a lot less exploration process. Gao Xu said seriously.

"God." Alice sighed, not knowing what she meant, let alone whether she understood.

Hugo said something unhappily.

Alice turned her head and said, "He hates Germans the most." Then she put her hand to her mouth mysteriously, "Actually, it's a German man, and a Ming man." ”

Gao Xu glanced at Hugo, swept his gaze over his half-sleeved shirt, and asked, "Do you like music?" ”

Hugo was still very friendly, he understood, nodded and said, "Guitar." ”

Gao Xu said: "I like pipa, in fact, it used to be the same thing. ”

Hugo immediately rummaged through his bag, found a sheet music, and put his hand on his chest. Gao Xu nodded and said, "I understand, you wrote it?" It's so talented. ”

The four of them chatted very simply, the conversation was not smooth, and each other's life interests were different, so they were just talking awkwardly, and there was no way. Gao Xu drank a cup of strangely tasted black tea with added sugar, and he thought to himself that maybe it would taste better with more lemon.

Under the pretext of going out, he finally got rid of the two Francois couples, walked out of the hall with Miaojin, and went outside to hang out by the pool.

Miao Jin took his arm and said softly: "The Franco man just now seems to be a little jealous. Thankfully, you were quick enough to shift the conversation to him. Miaojin looked up at him, "Jiang is still old and spicy." ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at a speechless expression, "So old?" ”

Miaojin covered her mouth with one hand and laughed.

Gao Xu thought for a while and said, "Do you know what men will compare with each other? ”

Miao Jin groaned, "Handsome, wealth, manners, taste? ”

"It's not that complicated." Gao Xu said, "Just two things, a lot of money, a big hang." ”

Miao Jin reached out and gently slapped him on the shoulder, pouting, "Vulgar." ”

Gao Xu said: "At present, it is still a continuation of the patrilineal society, so the purpose of competition is to occupy resources and mate rights. But in addition to competition, men will also cooperate, and everyone will unite to form a country, protect their mating rights, and want others. ”

Miao Jin shook his head and sighed: "Usually you say so profound and wise, I really didn't expect you to use such an embarrassing description." ”

"That's probably what happened." Gao Xu said in a joking tone.

Suddenly, a woman's voice behind him said, "Good afternoon." "The pronunciation is pretty standard.

Gao Xu and Miao Jin turned around and found that it was a young woman they didn't know, with the appearance of a Mediterranean race, and many white people also looked like this. She had a headscarf around her head, but her face was all exposed.

"Hello." Gao Xu nodded.

The woman said, "My name is Mona, and my friend wants me to thank my husband." ”

"The Mobian girl in the tearoom just now?" Gao Xu asked.

Mona nodded, "Yes." She said as she glanced curiously at Miaojin and smiled.

"You speak Chinese so well." Miaojin also smiled. Gao Xu looked at Mona's headscarf, and did not take the initiative to reach out to shake her hand. Their religion seems to be conservative, and it is better not to actively touch women.

Mona said: "I work part-time as a tour guide here. ”

Miaojin asked, "Are you still a student?" ”

Mona nodded and said, "Yes, I learned Chinese." ”

Gao Xu's face suddenly changed, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Then have you been free recently, do you want to be a tour guide for the two of us?" ”

Mona hurriedly said, "Of course you can." ”

"How much does it cost?" Gao Xu asked.

Mona asked tentatively: "Do the work of a translator and a tour guide at the same time, twenty dollars a day?" ”

Gao Xu and Miaojin glanced at each other, and seemed to think that it was too cheap. Gao Xu said happily, "Okay." As he spoke, he took out two hundred-yen bills and handed them to Mona, "From today onwards, let's set a ten-day business first." ”

Then the two exchanged phone numbers, and then Gao Xu asked, "It turns out that you women here, can you work?" ”

Mona said: "I can't after I get married, I am a part-time job, and I only serve the people of the Ming Kingdom." Everyone will be more tolerant of the Ming people, because you are more polite and generally do not disgrace the girl's family. ”

Gao Xu nodded with a thoughtful expression. He turned to Miao Jin and said, "Let's go to the city tomorrow to see the Mummy Museum first, and then go to the Pyramid of Khufu?" Come here and see the history and culture here. ”

Miaojin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So the arrangement was quickly negotiated.
