Niu Tou and Zhu Kou had not yet gone to work in the factory, but their village welcomed back a fellow villager who had returned to his hometown.

"Shota, it's you back!" At the entrance of the village, Pig Kou saw a young man in a wide robe with large sleeves and a gorgeous dress, who was sitting in a carriage followed by a carriage full of large and small goods.

"Yes, I went to the Americas and made a lot of money back home! Don't call me Shota, how ugly! This Xiang character can be used as the meaning of in Chinese, which is too ugly! I am now Han Chinese, and I have a Chinese name called Zhang Zhengyi, so you can call me Mr. Zhang from now on. Shota replied.

Next, Shota told Inoguchi about his experience of going to the Americas, when he first arrived in the Americas, he had to hold a gun every day and be ready to fight at any time, the local Indians, foreign Spaniards and French, could threaten the safety of these new immigrants in the Americas at any time, almost every three days a small battle, five days a big war, every day the gunfire continued.

Fortunately, this nightmarish day did not last long, and as the Ming increased its forces in the Americas, the American continent gradually became safer.

As a railway worker, Shota can receive five taels of silver every month, and he has all the food and accommodation, and he does not need to spend extra silver on food and accommodation, so that Shota can save five taels of silver every month.

After a year of working on the railway site, Shota saved sixty taels of silver. At this time, someone told him that the land in the Americas was very cheap, and the value of one acre of land was less than one tael of silver, and sixty taels of silver could be used to buy nearly a hundred acres of land!

Hearing this price, Shota's eyes widened in shock, you must know that in Japan, sixty taels of silver can only buy ten acres of land, but here you can buy ten times as much land.

When Shota went to buy the land with the silver, the seller not only gave him the title deed of a full hundred acres of land, but also gave him a two-story house, along with the three tall horses on the farm.

After buying the farm, Shota began to think about hiring local natives to farm for him. The labor cost here is relatively expensive, and it costs more than 40 taels of silver a year to hire a long-term worker. However, the price of cattle on the American continent was very cheap, so he bought four oxen and then bought new planting equipment, such as a heavy compound plough pulled by four oxen, so that two people could drive four oxen and cultivate fifty acres of farmland in a day.

After the crops were planted, Shota found that the harvest here was very good, and the crop yield was much higher than when he was in Japan, but he roughly estimated that it had almost doubled.

In this way, Shota relied on being a farmer and made a lot of money in the Americas.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, there are mountains of gold and silver everywhere on the American continent, and you can earn whatever you want." Shota said proudly.

This time, he brought back boxes of canned beef and pork, canned fish and fruit, as well as delicious biscuits, pastries and sweets.

Shota opened the box, took out an iron box with "Qiqu Biscuits" written on it, and handed it to Inoguchi.

Pigkou couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a piece of biscuits with strange shapes lying inside, he picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste was really sweet! When the biscuit is eaten, there is a strong milk flavor mixed with sweetness and the aroma of flour, and the taste is unforgettable.

Then, Shota gave Inoguchi a tin box with "chocolate" written on it.

Pigkou opened the box, took out a bar of chocolate, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it tasted so good, he could swear that it was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life!

Xiangtai returned to his hometown in brocade and brought back a cart full of good things, and the villagers were a sensation.

"Since America is so good, we want to go too!" The bull head suggested.

Shota smiled: "If you want to go to the Americas, first of all, you have to go to the Confucius Institute in Edo Castle, and you have to learn Chinese. ”

"But where do we have the money to go to school?" When I heard that I had to study before I could be eligible to go to the Americas, the bull head and pig mouth, who had a smile on their faces, were disappointed.

"You don't have to spend money, and it's free to go to the Confucius Institute." Shota said.

Early the next morning, Ushitou and Inoguchi went to a Confucius Institute in Edo Castle to sign up for classes.

This Confucius Institute is a large square campus with a large area of four square miles, with teaching areas, dormitories, training grounds and other facilities. Walking into the school gate, you will be greeted by a huge pond with lotus flowers and koi swimming happily in the pool.

Crossing a small bridge over a pond, you enter the school office building opposite, which is a three-story building, and outside the building, there are already many queues, a large number of Japanese people send their children to school, and many adults also come to school here.

The queue in front was very long, and the cow head and pig mouth lined up for nearly a morning before they got to the registration office.

"Is it true that there is no tuition fee for coming here to go to school?" Niu Tou was a little embarrassed to ask the beautiful girl sitting behind the window of the registration office.

"No, not a penny for tuition. But when you come to study at our school, you can choose to live or go to school. If you live on campus, you will pay five cents for food and three cents for accommodation every month. If you go to school, you don't have to pay a penny, but you can also choose to eat in the cafeteria at noon, and you can go and buy a grocery ticket. The girl replied.

After all, Niu Tou and Pig Kou had a bad family background, so they chose to go to school.

After registering, they were guided by the students to a school building, where they met their classmates and teachers.

"It's almost noon, everyone go back to rest, and come to the classroom on time at two o'clock in the afternoon!" The teacher, who wore a square scarf and a large silk robe, said.

The school is far away from their village in Zhukou, so the two decided to eat in the school cafeteria at noon.

The two walked into the cafeteria, only to see that the canteen was very large and could accommodate more than 1,000 people at the same time. In the window of the cafeteria, there are various dishes, and there are many meats that they are usually reluctant to eat, such as cow heads and pig mouths, and there are also vegetarian dishes that are very well made. The bull head stepped forward and asked, "How are we going to cook?" ”

"Go to the window outside, buy a ticket, and then you can come here to eat." The middle-aged woman who was cooking replied.

The two walked to the ticket office outside, bought a dollar ticket each, and returned to the food window.

The cow head and the pig mouth asked for a fragrant braised pork, a fried tofu, a steamed egg, a fried green vegetables, and finally a fish soup, and two servings of rice.

"Why is it so cheap?" Bull Head asked.

The aunt in the cafeteria said with a smile: "Because the school subsidizes the food for each student, it is very cheap to eat in the cafeteria." ”

After eating, the two had nowhere to go, so they decided to go to their classmates' dormitories.

The dormitory building is a five-story building with a long corridor on one side and dormitory rooms on the other. Walking through the hallway, they came to their classmates' dormitory, knocked on the door, and someone inside opened the door.

Pigkou and Niu Tou walked into the dormitory and found that it was a dormitory for eight people, with four bunk beds, desks and wardrobes, and kerosene lamps in the dormitory. Although the living area of each person is small, it is very tidy, and the windows of the dormitory are glass, and the inside is spacious and bright.
