The storm lasted for midnight, and in the early morning, the Victory News finally sailed out of the storm range, the ship became stable, and everyone took a nap.
At eight o'clock in the morning, with the jingling of the electric bell, everyone got up to freshen up, and then prepared to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
In order to ensure that the workers have strong bodies and sufficient stamina, the French provide sufficient food. Breakfast includes beef, milk, bread, eggs, mashed potatoes, canned soybeans, etc. Of course, all this has to be paid for by the workers themselves, and will be provided from
Deducted from workers' salaries.
According to the contract, the workers' daily salary is 5 francs, which is roughly equivalent to a little more than an ocean. From these five francs, 1.5 francs will be deducted for food expenses, half a franc for accommodation, and 25 francs will be deducted.
For clothing expenses and medical insurance of 25 centimes, each worker can get about 2.5 francs per day, which is more than half an ocean.
At this time, the daily salary of French soldiers was 10 francs.
Anyway, the food fee is deducted every day, and the more you eat, the less you eat. Therefore, since the workers got on the ship, they only choose beef, milk, eggs and other nutritious foods when eating. Naturally, they eat as much as they can.
When Yimin Company recruits workers, it not only imposes an age limit, requiring only prime-age men between 20 and 35 years old, but also conducts strict physical examinations. Those with eye diseases, tuberculosis, and even those with cavities are not allowed.
No. In this way, not only are all the selected workers physically strong, but at least they are in good health and have a good foundation. As long as their nutrition keeps up, they will be lively and great young men in a short time.
From the time they entered the Weihai labor camp, over the past few months, the most intuitive result of adequate nutritional supplements is that the workers' arms have generally become thicker, and the muscles in other parts of the body have also become more developed. If you look at physical fitness alone
In terms of strength, they are no different from young people in Europe. They are even more capable and flexible.
Soon, Huang Fugui informed in the floor passage that the bottom cabin workers went to the restaurant to have dinner.
Qin Zhiyuan picked up his tableware and water glass and set off to the restaurant with everyone.
The restaurant is located near the deck, catering for both passengers in the cruise ship's upper-level suites and those in the lower-level ordinary cabins. Of course, passengers in the upper-level suites can choose to dine in the suites, while passengers in the lower-level ordinary cabins can only go to the restaurant.
When Qin Zhiyuan and the others went to the restaurant, several groups of workers had already finished their meals. They were walking and chatting on the deck, taking advantage of the rare rest time to relax. They had lived together in the labor camp for several months and had many acquaintances. There were many people on the road.
When greeting Qin Zhiyuan and his entourage, the most popular person is actually Chen Kangjian, which shows that people with a more practical mind will be welcomed there.
Qin Zhiyuan deliberately observed these workers along the way, and finally concluded that their mental state was still good.
Because the Qing Dynasty has been overthrown, almost all workers have shaved their heads and look much more pleasing to the eye without the annoying braids. All workers wear uniforms with five-digit numbers on their chests, and they look just like
A group of prisoners wearing uniforms are all the same, but their faces are filled with warm and sincere smiles, which makes others unconsciously infected. Although the salary of one ocean a day is not high in Europe, it is enough to make this simple group
The diligent and thrifty workers felt satisfied. Qin Zhiyuan met many people along the way, almost all of whom were smiling, or leaning on the railings and looking in the direction of the ship's bow, or chatting and laughing full of expectations for a better future.
At this moment, they were satisfied and happy.
Being away from home and having the same roots and species, everyone rarely let go of their wariness towards strangers and the hypocrisy tempered by society, and behaved very affectionately.
Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but blend in, smiling at the familiar or unfamiliar workers to leave a good impression. When receiving a kind response, Qin Zhiyuan would also ask if he had eaten, although it was just
This short sentence also broke the barriers between people, narrowed the distance between them, and that familiar feeling of intimacy emerged spontaneously.
The Chinese greetings are different from Westerners. When Chinese people meet, they usually greet each other by asking questions such as what they have eaten, where they are going, etc. This way of greeting is more conducive to getting closer to each other.
For example, if one person asks if he has eaten, and the other person answers no, then the person can invite smoothly: I am just going to eat, so the two people go together and get to know each other better through a meal.
deepened each other's feelings.
Another example is when one person asks why they are going, and the other person answers casually: take a shower. The previous person can go up the pole and say: It’s time for me to take a shower too, let’s go together, go together. So the two of them walk together and take a shower.
I soaked my feet in the bath, and another pair of good friends were born.
Westerners are different. When they meet and greet, they are more accustomed to using declarative expressions such as hello, the weather is nice today, and so on. This is because Westerners pay more attention to personal feelings and maintain a polite distance. Although it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
But saying this kind of thing has the meaning of rejecting others, giving people the impression that they are walking on separate roads, which is not as affectionate as the Chinese greetings, and is not conducive to continued in-depth communication.
After eating all the way without asking for a restaurant, Qin Zhiyuan felt a little hungry. He had never felt so sensitive to the word "eat".
In the restaurant, there is a fixed steel dining table on one side and a counter for receiving meals on the other. Qin Zhiyuan and his party casually stood at the end of the queue for meals, waiting to receive their meals.
This state was similar to queuing up for meals in the cafeteria when he was at school. Qin Zhiyuan felt a little sad for a while and sighed with emotion.
I don’t know what happened today, but the canteen chef who served the meals was replaced by a foreign devil. From the moment the workers boarded the ship, the kitchen was taken care of by the workers. When it comes to cooking, the Chinese have an unparalleled reputation in the world.
Comparable. Although French chefs also have a good reputation, it is based on rare ingredients. When it comes to using ordinary ingredients to cook delicious food, the Chinese can beat the French by ten miles.
No wonder marry a Japanese wife, hire a Chinese cook, and hire a French housekeeper. This saying became popular for a while.
Just when Qin Zhiyuan was thinking about whether it would be against his parents' wishes to bring the Emperor of Japan's daughter home and ravage her every day, it was finally Qin Zhiyuan's turn to make a meal.
Due to the language barrier, there was little communication between the workers and the canteen master. The workers used gestures to express themselves uniformly, and the canteen master did not talk much. He gave what he asked for, and the scene was quite harmonious.
When it was Qin Zhiyuan's turn, Qin Zhiyuan pointed at the beef, milk and eggs, and then placed the plate in front of the canteen chef.
The master chef in the cafeteria waved his long spoon, and half a spoonful of mashed potatoes fell onto Qin Zhiyuan's plate, and then waved to signal the next one.
What do you mean? Qin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment before he understood what Master Yang meant. Feelings are my breakfast, right?
Next, the foreign chef lazily pushed Qin Zhiyuan's dinner plate aside with a rice spoon, and raised his hand to call to Greif behind Qin Zhiyuan to come up and get some food.
Qin Zhiyuan knew in his heart that this was the sequelae of last night's attack on the foreign Japanese.
I can't bear this. I don't know how long it will take to get to the shore. Who can stand mashed potatoes every day?
