When Rock returned to southern Africa, Qinling finally returned to his home on the shores of Lake Victoria.
After the end of the world war, there was a major disarmament in southern Africa. Elite-level soldiers like Qinling were definitely not among those laid off. At the end of the world war, Qinling's sniper score ended up at 475. This was a number that surprised everyone.
Second Lieutenant Steve, who is regarded as the "British Hero", was considered to be the pinnacle of snipers when he killed 125 Germans. Now it seems that Qinling is not the same.
There are still soldiers serving in Europe in southern Africa, and the Allied Powers are about to start a war against Russia. In every war, countless famous snipers emerge. Back then, Second Lieutenant Steve killed 125 German soldiers in just three days.
After returning to southern Africa, Qinling was almost like an ordinary person. He did not enjoy the same glory as Second Lieutenant Steve. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the army. Qinling is not an exception.
Although Qinling is not famous enough, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa will not treat legends like Qinling poorly. On the shores of Lake Victoria, Qinling's farm has expanded to one thousand acres. After the end of the world war, Qinling was responsible for training snipers, and his military rank was promoted to major.
, the annual salary plus various subsidies received, Qinling’s annual salary is about R1,000.
The current exchange ratio of rand to pound is still about the same, roughly one to one. Qinling's income is roughly equivalent to the level of a federal government secretary.
Because Qin Ling wanted to work in Nyasaland, after the end of the world war, Qin Ling used his own subsidies to buy a house in Los Angeles and became independent. In the future, Qin Ling's children will also receive education in Los Angeles. Now, although Tanganyika
Public education is also being popularized, but the local public education in Lake Victoria is definitely not as good as Los Angeles.
Now it is very troublesome to go from Los Angeles to Lake Victoria. It takes a week with various reverse trains along the way. However, the railway between Los Angeles and Lake Victoria is under construction. After the railway is opened to traffic, it will be easy to travel between Los Angeles and Lake Victoria.
What surprised Qin Ling the most was that Sophia gave birth to a big fat boy for Qin Ling, which happened to be the day the Germans surrendered.
This period should be the most relaxing time for Qinling. Every day Qinling and Garcia would go hunting or fishing together. Qinling's fishing skills are not as good as Garcia's, and Garcia's hunting skills are not as good as Qinling's. Weng and his son-in-law get along very happily.
, Garcia was very satisfied with Qin Ling as his son-in-law, and Qin Ling also felt a family affection from Garcia that he had never felt before.
"Fishing requires patience, and you have to sit still like me to gain something -" Whenever Garcia catches a fish, Garcia will be proud of it.
Qin Ling just smiled and said nothing. If he was more patient, no one would be afraid of snipers. Qin Ling's so-called "not knowing how to fish" was to save some face for Garcia, otherwise Garcia, the Taishan master, would probably be very depressed.
.
There are so many fish in Lake Victoria. When the Germans colonized Tanganyika, they had not yet had time to systematically develop the aquatic products in Lake Victoria. Those Africans before did not know how to fish. They did not need to fish.
It’s easy to get all kinds of food, so the fish in Lake Victoria are a bit overrun. You don’t need much good skills to catch the fish easily.
Now South African companies have begun to systematically develop Lake Victoria. Around Lake Victoria, South African companies have built four food processing plants. While making cans, they also produce a variety of aquatic products such as dried fish and fillets that can be preserved for a long time.
For sale, around four food processing plants, the prototype of a town has begun to appear. It won't be long before many towns will appear around Lake Victoria.
Garcia is now also attracted by the rich aquatic products of Lake Victoria. Except for tilapia, even if other fish bite the hook, Garcia will put the fish back. This behavior has changed after Qinling returned home.
.
Fish that humans don’t eat can also be eaten by animals at home. There are more than a dozen fierce dogs raised on the farm in Qinling, and these dogs are never picky.
So now when Garcia catches fish, he only puts the small ones back and takes the bigger ones home. This causes Garcia to complain again and again every time he goes fishing because there are too many fish to take home.
This is the difference between farms run by white people and farms run by Chinese people. For white people, fishing is fishing and has no other meaning. But for Chinese people, fishing can also produce economic value, at least it saves dog feed. Don’t underestimate these.
Seemingly small accumulations accumulate over many years, and gaps will slowly appear.
It didn't take long for Qinling's bucket to be filled with fish, while Garcia's bucket usually contained only a few pitiful fish.
Qinling’s bucket has all kinds of fish, but Garcia’s bucket only has tilapia.
Qin Ling and Garcia did not go fishing that day, but went to a nearby town with Sophia.
Qin Ling and Sophia are about to return to Los Angeles, and little Tony and Shanny are also leaving with the Qin Ling couple. They are both old enough to go to school.
Compared with international metropolises such as London and Paris, prices in Southern Africa are shockingly low. At first, the "cent" in Southern Africa was the smallest currency unit, but soon the Rand Bank discovered that converting one rand to one hundred cents was really not worth it.
It was convenient, so the Rand Bank issued "cornes". One rand could be exchanged for 20 jiao, and one jiao could be exchanged for 20 cents. This finally basically met the daily needs of southern Africans.
"I want to buy some more clothes for my mother and Katie. They haven't bought any clothes since they came here. I also want to buy another shotgun for my father. We went to Los Angeles, and only my father and his wife were left at home.
Mom and the two of them - well, it would be great if we could all go to Los Angeles -" Sophia made a list before setting off. Katie is Sophia's sister-in-law and will return to Los Angeles with Qinling Sophia.
Katie's two children, Tony and Shanny, have reached the age of going to school. The education level in Lake Victoria is far inferior to that in Los Angeles, so Sofia's family hopes that Tony and Shanny can go to Los Angeles.
In this way, Katie will have to go with her, otherwise Sofia will be too busy to take care of three children by herself.
The key is that there may be a fourth one soon, and if only Sophia is alone then, she will probably be very busy.
"The key issue now is not father and mother, but Katie -" Qin Ling is also a bit confused. Sophia's brother died in the World War. Katie is not yet 30 years old, so she cannot remain a widow for the rest of her life.
"Are there any suitable colleagues around you? Introduce one to Katie." Sophia also hopes that Katie can have a good ending. Even if Katie gets married again, the relationship between Katie and Sophia's family will not change.
Qinling cannot answer this question.
To put it bluntly, Qin Ling works at the Nyasaland Army Academy and is surrounded by military elites from Southern Africa. These elites receive salaries of thousands of rands every year, and most of them would not choose a widow like Kati.
What's more, Katie also has two children.
"My dear, you don't have to be embarrassed. You can invite more friends to your home then, and you don't need to make it too obvious. What if someone falls in love with Katie?" Sophia is very smart, otherwise she wouldn't have done it at the beginning.
I will take a fancy to Qinling as a potential stock at a glance.
"That's no problem, but you'll have to work hard -" Qin Ling agreed to this plan. It's no problem to treat friends to a meal or something. Such social interactions will definitely be indispensable after arriving in Luo City.
"It doesn't matter. If it's for Katie, then it's worth the hard work." Sophia is not afraid of hard work, not to mention that she is just cooking and cleaning, so having an extra pair of chopsticks is not hard work.
When they arrived in town, Qin Ling and Sophia went straight to the Military Service Club.
Qin Ling received two hero medals during the World War. With these two medals, Qin Ling was able to enjoy an 80% discount at the Military Service Society. That is to say, Qin Ling only had to pay eight rand to buy a product originally priced at ten rand.
Got it.
The product range of the Military Service Agency is the most comprehensive among all stores in southern Africa, and the prices are cheap and the quality is guaranteed. It is almost being operated by the Ministry of Defense into a well-known brand in southern Africa.
In southern Africa, the best-selling clothing brand is a brand called Ness. This brand is really Ness, with cheap prices and reliable quality. It is said that the owner is Mrs. Capet, the finance minister of Southern Africa. This brand sells affordable clothing.
famous.
Ness's factory uses African female workers. The wages of those African female workers are so low that it is unspeakable. At the same time, due to strict management, the quality of the clothing is also guaranteed. Rich people in southern Africa still go to clothing stores to have their clothes custom-made, or go to clothing stores.
Itno buys high-end clothing, while ordinary people choose popular brands like Ness, each getting what they need.
The prices at Ness are indeed low. Sofia bought more than a dozen sets of clothes for her family, and the discount at the final checkout was less than R7 Rand. The reason why it was so cheap was mainly because Sophia did not buy shoes, although Ness shoes were
Not bad, but Qin Ling insists that the shoes should be bought better. It doesn’t matter if the clothes are a little bit different. The shoes can’t be bad, and they should be kinder to their feet.
Qin Ling purchased a double-barreled shotgun and a pistol for Garcia. In fact, there are rifles and shotguns on the farm. After all, Qin Ling is an active soldier and has the qualifications to purchase these firearms.
Compared with rifles and shotguns, shotguns and pistols are more suitable for Garcia. After Qin Ling and Sophia Carty left for Los Angeles, there were only two old people left on the farm. Qin Ling still needed to hire a few workers through the Military Service Co., Ltd.
Two old men definitely cannot run a farm well.
What Qinling didn't expect was that there was no one to hire in the Military Service Society. Southern Africa needed too many laborers. Major immigration companies chose India as a labor import site, and more than a dozen ships kept sending people to Southern Africa.
, still unable to meet the needs of factories and farms.
