The dinner was in the usual Nyasaland style - a combination of Chinese and Western, including traditional Eastern snacks, Western beverages, ice cream, and Nyasaland's local specialty sashimi, which was both fresh and delicious.
Bilov enjoyed the meal very happily, but Roque found Bilov displeased.
The exchange between Roque and Bilov did not achieve any results. Bilov did not admit Tanganyika's conspiracy against Nyasaland, and Roque also insisted that he did not believe that the Nyasaland Marine Police had carried out an attack on Tanganyika in the North Sea.
The marine police behaved rudely.
This is actually normal. Don’t think that the communication between big shots is all about high-mindedness. Roque will also curse when he is pushed. Bilov is also worse than the aunt who buys vegetables in the wet market.
, another characteristic of politicians is that they are extremely shameless, they will fall out immediately when it is time to fall out, and forget what they said in the blink of an eye. Just now, Roque and Bilov almost had a fight, and now they are talking and laughing again.
Ade was even more indifferent. He concentrated on tasting the various delicacies at the dinner and commented: "This ice cream tastes very good. It should be that some kind of fruit is added to it. If I guessed it correctly, it should be mango.
Why not grapes? Grapes also taste very good, preferably grapes from the City of Oaks in Cape Town. Locke should be familiar to you."
Rock is certainly no stranger to it. If it weren't for Rock, the City of Oak would probably still be called the City of Cowards.
"Fresh mango juice is indeed added to it. This kind of ice cream is more delicious. Try this. These are the local specialty French fries in Nyasaland. You may not know that there was a time when potatoes were the specialty of Nyasaland."
The staple food of the Saran people, the Chinese who came to southern Africa relied on potatoes to survive the initial difficult stage. Now the Chinese in Johannesburg use potatoes to make vodka, which is what we are drinking now. How does it feel? Isn’t it?
Is it any different from the vodka produced in Russia?" Rock recommended enthusiastically. There are indeed many good things in Nyasaland.
Although Ade nodded repeatedly, Bilov's reaction became even more enthusiastic: "Is this a specialty of Nyasaland? It seems to taste better than Russian vodka. Damn it, I thought only Russians can brew vodka.
What you do is better than what the Russians do!"
No matter who it is, as long as they want to find common topics with the Germans, they can make fun of the Russians, or directly target the Russians. Everyone in Germany has a bad impression of the Russians.
In fact, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Nicholas II of Russia are still relatives. Counting from the European grandmother Queen Victoria's side, Wilhelm II is Nicholas II's cousin. Unfortunately, these two people probably have different horoscopes.
, the two of them also dislike each other in various ways.
"I really didn't expect it. I don't know what Nyasaland was like before, but I'm sure that it was precisely because of the arrival of the Chinese that Nyasaland became what it is now. When you and Cecil Rhodes Jr.
I suggested that Chinese immigrants from the Far East populate the Transvaal. I had doubts at that time, but now it seems that I am being narrow-minded." Ade finally admitted that the Chinese are indeed the best-managed nation in the world.
Bilov did not interrupt on this issue. The Germans' attitude towards the Chinese is also extremely unfriendly. The current anti-Chinese sentiment in Europe has a lot to do with Kaiser Wilhelm II.
"The Chinese in Johannesburg have created more miracles. They are now working hard and running farms. I told you before that agriculture will be another pillar industry in Johannesburg, and now this has been realized." Rock is still very proud,
The Chinese are indeed a nation capable of creating miracles.
The banquet was held in the banquet hall of Eagle Castle. There were a lot of people attending the banquet. Rock took this opportunity to invite the leading figures from all walks of life in Little Rock to attend. Rock, Ade and Bilov had a very happy conversation.
, the corner of the banquet hall is a bit noisy.
The person who came to report with an embarrassed look was Anton. Anton looked at Bilov with contempt and disgust in his eyes, and said something that made Bilov blush even more: "One of Mr. Bilov's entourage seems to have drunk too much, and...
There was a little conflict between our maids——"
This is an elegant way of saying it. To put it bluntly, Bilov's entourage went crazy under the influence of wine and teased the maid serving the banquet. This was a very disrespectful behavior, and Bilov's face immediately turned red.
In fact, many of the maids in Eagle Castle were hand-picked by Phyllis. In this regard, Phyllis is probably a beauty control. Regardless of whether they are beautiful or not, the maids she selected have very hot figures.
Drinking is a coward, and you will always do some incredible things if you drink too much. The chef of Eagle Castle is also evil-minded. The party used vodka with the highest alcohol content. After adding ice to this stuff, it tasted like alcohol.
It's not that high. In fact, the effect is the same if you drink it in your stomach. One of Bilov's followers accidentally fell into the trap.
The person who drank too much was a counselor from the German Foreign Ministry. This counselor probably had experience working in the Far East, so his attitude towards the Chinese was a bit bad. The Chinese in Nyasaland make up the majority, and there were also some at the banquet.
There were many Chinese maids, but the counselor couldn't control his hands and feet. When a Chinese maid passed by, he pinched the maid's butt.
This kind of behavior should be very common among aristocratic groups, and there are even worse things than this.
However, this behavior is still very rare in Nyasaland.
Nyasaland does not allow slaves. Even if Eagle Castle wants to use maids, they have signed formal employment contracts with them. Although there are high and low professions, everyone is equal in terms of personality. Therefore, the behavior of this counselor
, and was immediately criticized by others.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened just now. I drank a little too much." When Roque and Bilov arrived, the counselor was still quibbling.
"You did it on purpose. Don't use drinking too much as an excuse. Your behavior is really disgusting. If you were the guest of the Lord, you should be taken away by the police now." It was Scarlett who spoke up for the maid. This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Scarlett has been with Ada for the past two years and has a good temper. In the past in Johannesburg, Scarlett would never say such a thing.
Only then did Rock remember that Scarlett seemed to be the person in charge of the Rand Bank in Nyasaland. It was said that Scarlett was actually a banker now, and she still had a certain social status.
The environment does have a changing effect on people.
"Even if I was a little rude just now, I'm not to the point where I should be taken away by the police. I'm just a maid. What else do you want?" The counselor became a little angry and wanted to play tricks.
If this were in the Far East or Tanganyika, no one would dare to hold the counselor accountable.
It's a pity that this is Nyasaland, and relevant people from the police will come forward immediately.
"Mr. Macaulay, according to the relevant regulations of Nyasaland, your behavior does violate the relevant laws. Let me think about it. If this lady insists on holding you accountable, then you should pay a fine of fifty pounds."
, and will be sentenced to more than one hundred hours of social service, that is to say, you will have to sweep the streets for one hundred hours, and someone will evaluate your work. If the evaluation is unsatisfactory, the time will be extended, and the punishment will even be upgraded.
." Jimmy Hodgson, as the head of the Nyasaland Marine Police, has a strong voice on this issue.
"This is nonsense. I have never heard of such a rule. I am a noble of the German Empire and I should enjoy these humble maids. This is the right given to me by God-" Macaulay became angry, and what he said immediately aroused
Public outrage.
"How ridiculous!"
"You should be ashamed!"
"Is this the nature of your German Empire nobles? You should really see what our English nobles do."
Bilov's reaction was also very fast, and his angry voice almost covered the music in the banquet hall: "Shut up Macaulay, you idiot, apologize to this lady now, then pack your things and go back to Tanganyi"
Click!"
It's really embarrassing. Birov is also a nobleman and he definitely doesn't want to be associated with people like Macaulay.
Macaulay hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying "Sorry" to the angry Scarlett.
"You shouldn't say sorry to me, but you should say sorry to this lady!" Scarlett bluntly pointed out that Macaulay's mistake was problematic in both object and degree.
To put it bluntly, it’s a matter of attitude. Although Scarlett is a Boer, her English is very standard. As long as Scarlett doesn’t speak, no one knows Scarlett’s background and thinks that Scarlett is a noble lady.<
/p>
The pitiful maid is very inconspicuous. She is standing helplessly behind Scarlett, wishing she could shrink into a ball so that no one can see her.
"I've never apologized!" Macaulay still wanted to argue.
"McCawley!" Bilov simply yelled.
"Okay, I apologize, it's my fault, I'm sorry!" Macaulay finally corrected his attitude.
The banquet hall immediately returned to calm, people were laughing and laughing again, and what happened just now almost didn’t happen.
Returning to his seat, Bilov was still excited. Now Bilov looked much more sincere.
"This is the environment I work in now. It's not that they are bad, but - you have seen it." Bilov wanted to curse something at this moment, but in front of the public, Bilov could still restrain himself.
No matter how excessive he is in private, it will not affect Bilov's image.
"It's normal. As a Lord, I have to face all kinds of attacks when I am in London." Rock can only lament that it is really a long way to go to reverse the white people's discrimination against the yellow people.
In fact, it is very simple. When you have the opportunity, just give the white people a good beating. Some white people are really mean and will not shed tears until they see the coffin. The white people in Nyasaland are very well-behaved now and have no regard for the Chinese.
