Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 139
Watson clapped his hands after climbing into the carriage, and lay down on the wooden box leisurely.He is full of expectations for the next adventure.

Although it is midsummer, the weather is very hot, but the wind generated by the train is still very strong, so Watson does not feel uncomfortable, but rather cool.

He didn't know where the destination of the train was, and he wasn't worried that he would get lost, because what he wanted was this kind of complete self-release.

"To hell with dissertations! To hell with classrooms! To hell with labs! To hell with academic seminars! I want freedom! Hahahaha!"

As the train went faster and faster, Watson's laughter soon died away.

Professor Watson originally thought that the train would arrive at its destination within a day at most, but he made a serious misjudgment.The train drove for two full days and two nights, and passed through several platforms on the way, but they all stopped for a short time before continuing on their way.If it wasn't for refueling, it is estimated that this train would not even stop for a while.

On the morning of the third day, Watson ate the last pack of beef jerky he brought out from the hotel, drank the last bit of cold water in the kettle, and his mood changed from excitement and anticipation to apprehension and confusion.

At the beginning, Watson was really excited. Whenever he saw a wonderful scenery, he would take out his camera and shoot it.Only when he saw more and more mountains and mountains did he realize that he might be heading towards a desolate place.

The desolate place means that it is difficult for him to communicate with people. Unlike big cities, although there are not many people who understand English, you can still find it if you look for it.If you go to a very desolate place, it will be a problem to communicate with people at that time, and many new problems will arise.

The journey of nearly three days and two nights has completely extinguished the impulse in Watson's heart, and he began to think whether he should get off the car earlier to complete the work of inspecting the students.Although the scenery along the way is beautiful, you can see green fields and towering mountains from time to time.But seeing the same scenery all the time, no matter who you are, you will feel bored.

After some thought, Watson finally made a decision.He was going to find a place that looked more prosperous to get off, then have a good meal, take a bath, and start his investigation work after resting.

This waited until five o'clock in the afternoon. When the train stopped to refuel in a seemingly prosperous city, Watson slipped down immediately, and then slipped out of the train station over the courtyard wall while no one was prepared.

Although it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun set late in summer. Due to the hot weather, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Watson has been saving food these days, and only maintained the minimum needs, otherwise he would not have been able to persist for three days and two nights.At this moment, he really wants to find a restaurant and have a delicious Chinese meal.

Finding a restaurant was not difficult for Watson. He didn't even ask anyone, and he saw a restaurant with a bit of a grade on the side of the road.Of course, the so-called upscale here is only relative to China. If it were placed in the United States, such a low-end restaurant would be embarrassed to open its doors.

In fact, this is not an ordinary hotel, but a city-run guest house, which only receives people from enterprises and institutions with certain identities, and ordinary people cannot enter.Even if they are allowed to enter, they cannot afford the consumption inside.

Watson didn't know anything about it. Before he walked into the gate of the guest house, he took out the English-Chinese dictionary he carried with him, and planned to use it to communicate with the waiter.

There are two chubby girls sitting behind the counter. From their figures, it can be seen that the food in the guest house should be very good.After hearing the sound of footsteps, the two girls didn't even raise their heads, they were still flipping through the "Story Club" in their hands with relish.

Waiting until Watson walked up to the counter, one of the girls said, "Swallow, it's your turn to serve this time."

Yanzi reluctantly agreed, and put down "Story Meeting".She raised her head and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw that the other party was a foreigner, she immediately swallowed back the words she wanted to say, and just stared at the foreigner's face in a daze, her mind blank.

Another waiter felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, and turned his head impatiently and asked, "Swallow, what the hell are you doing? Why don't you answer...reception..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Watson who was scratching her head, and she immediately stared at Watson in a daze like a swallow.

This was the first time in their lives that the two had seen a real foreigner, so it was no wonder they behaved like this.

Watson was a little embarrassed. Although he had prepared an English-Chinese dictionary before coming to China, when he really wanted to communicate with people, he found that the actual situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he imagined.

He has never used this thing before, and now he is cramming, and it is inevitable that he will be a little blind.Seeing the two chubby Chinese girls staring at him in a daze, Watson, a computer professor at a top university, couldn't help but blush, and tentatively greeted each other: "Hello?"

Only then did the two girls come to their senses. They stood up at the same time, retreated to the corner and stood still, all looking at Watson with terrified eyes.As for Watson's hello, they didn't understand what it meant at all.

Watson has never had personal contact with Chinese people, so he doesn't know how ordinary Chinese treat foreigners.The waiters he met in the Great Wall Hotel were not very afraid of foreigners because they often came into contact with foreigners, and would smile at him.

But the two fat girls in front of them were obviously different. They looked at themselves as if they were looking at...a monster?By the way, what's going on?
The Chinese people in 81 had complicated and contradictory feelings towards foreigners.

On the one hand, because of the long-term relevant education, Chinese people are full of disdain and hostility towards foreigners, especially Westerners, and feel that they are very unfriendly and are all paper tigers.

Later, when the reform and opening up began, public opinion naturally changed. After learning about the economic situation in developed countries, Chinese people's attitude towards foreigners has undergone a 180-degree change.

Many people respect foreigners and think that everything in foreign countries is good, even the moon is rounder in foreign countries.The atmosphere of worshiping foreigners and foreign countries was formed at this time. Many people sharpened their heads and wanted to go abroad, even if they went to a poorer and backward country than China.

When these people talk about their status as overseas Chinese with their parents, they feel that they have face. It seems that eating bran swallowed vegetables abroad is much better than eating white rice at home.
