Practice has shown that Wang Zheyi's evil intentions will not be weakened by half because Renouf paid for the boat ticket.
To go from the UK to Peru, you have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, pass through the Panama Canal, and then go south along the west coast of South America. The whole journey is nearly 6,000 nautical miles and takes more than 20 days of sailing. Renouf and others boarded the ship with the mentality of taking a cruise. How could they
Thinking that they were not provided with meals on the ship, Jin Bingquan suggested that they prepare instant noodles. When he said this, the ship had already left the shore and the sea was vast. Where could Renouf buy instant noodles?
Renouf had no choice but to negotiate with Jin Bingquan again, asking to join him on the ship and dine with the crew and Wang Zheyi. Jin Bingquan shook his head like a rattle, refusing to agree until Renouf said, "No food.
Jin Bingquan reluctantly agreed to provide them with food, but Renouf and the others had to pay US$50 per person per day for meals.
"This is obviously extortion!" Renouf's follower Oberhard almost jumped when he learned the price. 50 US dollars is almost enough to feed him for a week. Jin Bingquan is clearly taking advantage of the situation. Trade Commission
The expenses for arranging for them to go out to do things are fully covered. The money spent now is equivalent to money from their own pockets. It's strange that Oberhardt doesn't feel bad.
Renouf said with a dark face: "It's just that we didn't anticipate such a situation in advance, otherwise we should ask the committee to directly give the report to the Principal of Nice ▲↗▲↗风▲↗literature▲↗literature,▲＄.n☆
The company issued an order asking them to provide us with ferry tickets and meals."
"I have never seen a company treat us with such contempt. Haven't they considered the consequences of offending the European Trade Commission?" Asain, another follower of Renouf, also shouted.
Renouf gritted his teeth and said: "These Chinese are deliberately trying to embarrass us. They want us to retreat before the difficulties so that they can have the opportunity to smuggle these equipment back to China. We cannot be fooled by them, no matter what
No matter how much trouble we have to hold on to these devices."
"Actually... I don't think there is any need for us to go to Peru with them. These are all old equipment. Even if the Chinese want to transport them back to China, what will the impact be?" Oberhardt muttered in a low voice.
"This doesn't work, this is Batumi's strict restriction on exports to China." Renouf said to Oberhardt seriously.
Oberhardt said: "I know, but Batumi has been disbanded, and as far as I know, many companies in Europe are secretly violating Batumi's regulations. They disguise sensitive equipment as ordinary equipment and export it to Russia and
Going to China, the only purpose of these regulations in Batumi is to allow these companies to add 30% to their quotations."
"These are the scum of Europeans." Renouf said, "They are delivering advanced technologies to our enemies, which will one day become weapons for the Russians and Chinese to attack Europe."
"Maybe." Oberhard shrugged his shoulders, unwilling to argue with Renouf any longer. As for Oberhard himself, he did not think that China had any conflict of interest with Europe, let alone that China
It has the ability to threaten Europe. In order to prevent the Chinese from getting these outdated so-called sensitive equipment, he has to live on such a freighter and spend 50 US dollars a day to eat. This is something that makes him unhappy. However, Lei
Renouf was his boss, and since Renouf wanted to have his own way, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
Jin Bingquan was a man of his word. After collecting the meal expenses from Renouf and others, he sent someone on time to inform them that they were going to have dinner. Renouf nodded with satisfaction when he stepped into the restaurant.
, because he saw that Wang Zheyi and others were also dining there. The lunch that Jin Bingquan prepared for Renouf and the others was no different from that of Wang Zheyi and the others.
"What kind of dish is this?"
Carrying the tray to the bar where the meals were shared, Renouf was stunned for a moment. There were three large vegetable basins in front of him, and the vegetables in each basin had a red layer of dried chili floating on the surface, giving them a pungent spicy taste.
You could smell it from a meter away, which made Renouf and others want to sneeze.
"This is the Western Region chicken, this is the boiled fish. This is the stir-fried beans. I have enough rice. Give me your plates." The chef in charge of the spread spoke fluent English, but the names of the dishes were missing.
French translation can only be done bluntly and literally.
"Is this chili pepper?" Renouf asked, looking at the vegetable basin in fear. He can usually eat slightly spicy food, but this is the first time for him to have a dish full of red peppers like this.
Seeing it, he couldn't imagine how it was possible to eat such a dish.
"This is the chili pepper we brought from China. If it weren't for entertaining distinguished guests like you, I wouldn't be willing to put so much of it. Smell it, how fragrant this chili pepper is. Not to mention eating it, just one whiff will whet your appetite.
." The chef said, taking a deep breath and looking intoxicated.
"Apart from these dishes, don't you prepare other dishes?" Renouf asked.
"No, look, Captain Jin, Mr. Wang and others are all eating this." The chef pointed to the table next to him and said to Renouf.
Renouf turned to look and saw a group of Chinese people eating their meals with smiles on their faces. They were snoring, and they were obviously suffering from severe pain. However, no one showed any uncomfortable expressions. On the contrary, every one of them looked very nervous.
The look of enjoyment.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to this kind of food." Renouf suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that this was another way for the Chinese to torment them. They knew that Europeans like them couldn't eat peppers, but they wanted to cook the food in strange ways.
It's extremely spicy. He can't protest against this kind of thing, because Chinese people also eat these dishes. Since they can eat it, why can't you eat it?
"I would like to be able to provide us with some dishes without peppers," Renouf said to the chef.
"Oh, then this is the only thing left." The chef said, and took out two large bags of mustard from nowhere. They were all fist-sized mustard lumps. "This is the treasure of our captain. I have no appetite for eating at sea.
When we are here, this stuff is the most delicious. Considering that you are international friends, I will give you half of it."
"How do you eat this?" Oberhardt asked, looking at the mustard lumps that were either yellow or green.
"Cut everything and you can eat it. Just wait, I will cut it for you right away." The chef was very enthusiastic. As he spoke, he took out the chopping board and kitchen knife, and with a few clicks, he cut out a plate of mustard for them.
piece.
Oberhard bravely stretched out his hand, took a piece of mustard and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wari Good, Wari Good, it tastes really good."
"
"Of course, our captain has said that you are distinguished guests, how can we fool you with bad things?" the chef replied proudly.
With a plate of mustard slices, Renouf and others finished their lunch. When walking out of the restaurant, Oberhard kept thanking the chef and asked where he could buy this delicious mustard.
, it seems that I really like this taste.
Renouf remained silent until the three of them returned to the small cabin they shared, and then Renouf asked Oberhardt: "Do you think this lunch is rich?"
"I can't say it's rich," Oberhardt said, "but it's quite unique. I've always heard that Chinese people are good at cooking all kinds of delicacies, and I thought that even ordinary pickles can be made so delicious."
"If you were to eat this pickled vegetable every day for 20 days without any other accompaniments, would you still think it's delicious?" Renouf asked.
"20 days?" Oberhardt was stunned. "Mr. Renouf, are you saying that the Chinese will only let us eat this in the next 20 days?"
"What do you think?" Renouf sneered. He knew very well that such a dish at noon today was definitely not an accident. If Wang Zheyi could make it once, he would be able to continue to do so. Thinking that he would eat pickled mustard for 20 days in a row, he couldn't stop eating it.
Not wanting to see a piece of meat, Renouf was almost ready to start a hunger strike.
Oberhardt and Asain were somewhat dubious about Renouf's words, but the facts of the next few days told them that Renouf's other things might not work, but he was absolutely authoritative in predicting the evil intentions of the Chinese.
I don’t know if the chef on the Merrill is a Sichuan chef or a Hunan chef. All in all, there is no dish he cooks that does not contain chili peppers, and the layers are thick and daunting.
After eating pickled mustard with rice for several days, Oberhardt couldn't resist the temptation of chicken, so he ordered a so-called "Kung Pao Chicken". After only one bite, the house was filled with spicy food.
He was running around, wishing he could hold a dry powder fire extinguisher and spray it into his mouth.
"I protest!" Renouf finally became anxious. He rushed to Jin Bingquan, got angry, and strongly demanded that the kitchen provide them with dishes without chili peppers. Jin Bingquan patiently listened to his story, and then stood up in front of him.
He called the chef over and scolded him: "You are too shameful. How can you cook Sichuan cuisine for every meal? Let Xiao Zhang cook the next meal. He is from southern Anhui and has a light taste, which is in line with the diet of foreign friends.
Habit."
"I understand, let Xiao Zhang cook the next meal." The chef agreed obediently.
"Are you sure there will be no pepper?" Renouf asked worriedly.
"Make sure there's no chili pepper!" the chef said, patting his chest.
When it was time to eat, Renouf and his party rushed to the restaurant without waiting for anyone to tell them. As soon as they entered, they were smelled by a strange smell and ran out.
Here, they no longer complained about the food, because they all vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables.
There was indeed no chili in that meal. What the Anhui chef prepared for everyone was...fried stinky tofu. (To be continued...)
