During dinner time, Li Mu appeared in the restaurant on time.

On the way to the restaurant, Li Mu finally got a preliminary understanding of the ship.

This is a steam paddle ship that has just appeared not long ago. The so-called paddle ship is a kind of ship with wheels on both sides of the ship. Since part of the wheel is exposed on the water, it is called a "paddle ship".

Paddle ships generally have two ways of propulsion, one is the original propulsion by human trampling on wooden wheels, and the other is the propulsion by steam engines and spiral pulp.

The ship Li Mu was riding was propelled by a steam engine. Although Li Mu did not go to the boiler cabin to confirm, Li Mu found a chimney at the stern.

After discovering that this was a paddle steamer, Li Mu immediately lost interest in the ship. This ship appeared for a short time and would soon be replaced by a propeller. It is better to understand this menu than to know about the dinner.

The restaurant is in the middle and upper part of the ship. Li Mu held the iron handrail and moved up the stairs step by step. Mike behind Li Mu looked contemptuous.

"What are you pretending to be? Your body is obviously well and you don't feel uncomfortable at all. Why do you still pretend to be so weak now? What a hypocritical oriental person-" Mike pretended to support Li Mu and walked forward, unable to stop muttering.

If Mike did not add the words "hypocritical Oriental" to the sigh, Li Mu would definitely ignore Mike, but if he added these words, Li Mu would feel very hurt.

"Are you firing the map cannon again? Do you want me to help you count the bad natures of you Westerners?" Li Mu was not polite. He was obviously full of energy when he spoke, but he still felt unhappy.

Do the whole set of acting-

"Map Cannon - What is a map cannon?" Mike was indeed as humorless as his profession.

Li Mu did not explain the meaning of "map cannon", and grabbed Mike's braid and chased him hard: "If the Eastern people are hypocritical, then you Western people are the barbaric of Hongguoguo. The Eastern society composed of hypocritical Eastern people has at least peace, while the Western society composed of barbaric Western people is invading in addition to colonization. Is this the welfare you bring to the world?"

"Nonsense-Western is a civilized society." McCe immediately turned into a racist.

"Civilization? Hum--chastity belt, waistband, chest tightening cover, head covering - this is what you call civilization?" Li Mu is not polite, counting the four major inventions in the Middle Ages in Europe one by one.

It is really the "Four Great Inventions" in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, it is different from the four Great Inventions in China. These inventions are all aimed at women, and what they bring is not happiness, but complete humiliation.

Every time Li Mu said the same thing, Mike's face looked a little ugly. When Li Mu finished speaking, Mike's face was already dead.

Mike's arrogance was knocked down, and Li Mu kept chasing and continued to climb up as if weak. Mike didn't dare to say anything at this moment, and followed Li Mu, looking at Li Mu with a look of surprise.

Mike was reasonably surprised that the Qing people of this era had a dark understanding of the world. A few years ago, some important officials of the Qing Dynasty even believed that there was no English or French in the world. These foreigners all came from the same country, and they were joining together to the Qing Empire.

But now an eleven or 2-year-old "child" has revealed the "four great inventions" of the medieval European era. This really makes Mike feel ashamed of being stripped naked in public.

Mike doesn't dare to treat Li Mu as a child now. Mike is sure that Li Mu will definitely be a big shot in the future.

It is said that Westerners at this time are indeed very superior when facing Easterners, but this sense of superiority also depends on who they are facing. For example, when Mike faces Li Zhongtang of the Qing Empire, Mike will be very treasonous and respectful. After all, the gap in social status is too big, which makes Mike have no psychological advantage.

Mike had met Li Zhongtang, so he could get on board as a veterinarian. Now, Mike also had a heartfelt fear when facing Li Mu. This was not as high as fear, but just discomforts like fear, because Mike was not sure what other words Li Mu would say, which might make Mike even more embarrassed.

Going up a few more steps, you will arrive at the restaurant. It is actually a small room with six or seven tables filled with children wearing melon-shaped hats and a big braid behind them. Li Mu feels like seeing a group of zombies.

Chen Liqiu was giving a pre-dinner speech, but in turn he transferred it to the past just a "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism". Li Mu had no interest in "I'm the Qing Dynasty". With the help of Mike, he found a stool and sat down without a straight face, leaning on the back of the chair to observe his friends.

Mike was very self-conscious and after Li Mu sat down, he was busy finding tableware for Li Mu. This was not Mike's job, but now Mike does it very naturally.

Chen Liqiu was still very concerned about Li Mu. Seeing that Li Mu didn't even say hello, she sat down, and she was a little angry, but seeing Dr. Mike serves Li Mu attentively, she was also surprised in her eyes.

Since the Opium War, the status of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. They were "foreign devils" before, but now they are "foreign masters".

The same thing is said, it varies from person to person. As a third-rank official in the court, Chen Liqiu naturally would not be respectful to the foreign doctor Mike. He probably had a more distant attitude and could not afford to offend you.

Although Mike did not hold his own identity on the ship and bullyed others, it would be impossible to say that he respected these hopes for the future of the Qing Dynasty. It was basically an official attitude.

But now, looking at Mike's attitude towards Li Mu, he is already a little cautious, which is enough to surprise Chen Liqiu. After all, although Mike is very polite when treating Chen Liqiu, he does not have much cautious ingredients.

This Qing official may not have the ability to handle government affairs. He is very capable of observing words and expressions, otherwise he would not be able to climb this high.

Li Mu soon lost interest in these future friends. These children now sit very well like an old monk entering into meditation. They all have a childish face, but they try their best to pretend to be a young man, which makes Li Mu very uncomfortable.

These are still a group of little kids, and they are also a group of little kids who have been poisoned by the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" since childhood. This makes Li Mu, an old man who is more than 30 years old, really cannot find a common language.

There is still a different one. Diagonally opposite Li Mu, there was a little guy with impatient face, wearing a white brocade robe and a warm hat with gems inlaid.
