African Nationhood

The fair-skinned girl is Wu Minghe's little daughter, and she comes to deliver meals to her father every day.

When I got here today, I found Shi Xu who was reading some information. I learned from his father that this young man who was immersed in reading was a new arrival.

While urging her father to eat, she found that Shi Xu was completely unaware of her arrival. She felt that the other party must be pretending, so she walked up to Shi Xu and shouted, but found that the other party still didn't respond.

She immediately became angry and shook her face in front of Shi Xu's eyes, waking him up.

Seeing the panic on Shi Xu's face, she became happy, "I told you not to agree. Why are you still stuttering after you agreed?"

"Yu Xi, what are you doing? It's a good thing for Xiao An to concentrate on his work. Don't make trouble.

Xiao An, I'm sorry. My daughter brought me some food. Do you want to eat some together? It's already noon. Don't feel embarrassed. If you want to eat in the canteen, go there quickly. If you are late, you won't be able to buy good food. "

Wu Yuxi glanced at Shi Xu, "Dad, look at him, he's so stupid. He didn't buy a meal ticket when he got here, how can he buy a meal?"

Hearing what Wu Yuxi said, Shi Xu immediately remembered. He really hadn't thought of buying meal tickets.

In his impression, he always has food to eat. His mother and nanny take care of him at home, and there are people who serve him when he is studying abroad.

"Oh, where did you buy the meal tickets?"

"Then you have to go to the factory office to buy it. It's noon now and people have gone to the canteen to eat, so you can only wait."

Wu Minghe glared at his daughter, "I have meal tickets here, you can use them first."

Wu Yuxi walked beside her father and sat down, "Don't say I didn't warn you, the food in the cafeteria is terrible, and the pork ribs cooked by my mother are delicious."

Shi Xu looked at the big lunch box in front of Wu Minghe. The ribs on it were red and shiny, and they smelled good.

He has been eating meals from the imperial chef of Meilin Palace since he was a child. When he was studying abroad, he had dedicated service staff to cook for him in his apartment, and he almost never ate outside.

Seeing how delicious the food at Wu Minghe's house was, he became interested.

"Does Miss Wu bring enough food? Will it affect you if I eat it?"

Wu Yuxi was a little happy when she heard Shi Xu call herself Miss Wu, "Your mouth is sweet. I will let you eat it. I can go back and eat it."

After hearing what Wu Yuxi said, Shi Xu realized that the father and daughter planned to have dinner together.

"Sorry, you and your daughter should eat. I'll go to the cafeteria to eat."

Wu Yuxi showed displeasure, "Why are you such a mother-in-law? You don't look like a man at all. I told you to eat it, so just eat it."

Wu Minghe pulled his daughter's sleeve and said, "Girl, can you be more polite when you speak? Xiao An is polite, but you girl doesn't know what's good or bad, and your mother has spoiled you."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Xu again, "I'm sorry, Xiao An, this girl has had a bad temper since she was a child."

Wu Yuxi glanced at Shi Xu, "Huh, good intentions are like a donkey's liver and lungs. If you don't eat, you will fall down."

Shi Xu was embarrassed now. In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming more embarrassing, he suddenly sat down opposite Wu Minghe and said, "Okay then, I will try my aunt's cooking."

Wu Minghe chuckled and said: "Well, good, my wife's cooking skills are not just a matter of practice, it is inherited from the family. When she was in the Qing Dynasty, her family ran a restaurant. Now she has built a restaurant at home, and the business is still there. Not bad.”

Wu Yuxi handed the chopsticks in her hand to Shi Xu, "Here you go, try it. My mother's craftsmanship is really good."

Shi Xu took the chopsticks, smiled at the little girl, and then picked up a piece of spareribs. Well, it was soft and chewy in the mouth, and the aroma of soy sauce penetrated his taste buds.

Shi Xu tasted it for a while and felt that the pork ribs made by the Wu family's housewife were different from those made by the imperial chef of Meilin Palace.

It tasted good, and he felt he could eat more.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Wu Yuxi was very concerned about the comments of diners, so she stared at Shi Xu closely.

Although Wu Minghe has been silent, he is as concerned about the diners' reactions as his daughter. After all, his wife's cooking skills are the only one in their family that can show off.

Of course, his daughter is also good-looking, but this girl is still a bit young and has a bit of a temper. “Delicious, not bad!”

The evaluation of this sentence was already as high as Shi Xuneng could give, but Wu Yuxi was not satisfied with it.

“Hey, you have quite a picky taste.

You are the first person to comment so flatly on my cooking skills. Diners who have eaten at our restaurant will always pick Thumbs up for praise. "

Shi Xu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Well, I didn't express it accurately enough. It's delicious. It's so delicious!"

Hearing Shi Xu's compliment, Wu Yuxi immediately smiled, and her big eyes turned into crescents, which was really cute.

"If it's delicious, eat more. My mother likes us to eat all the dishes she cooks."

Shi Xu nodded, and then he and Wu Ming finished today's meal.

When Wu Yuxi waited for them to finish eating, she quickly packed away the tableware and skipped away.

……

After eating, Wu Minghe sat down to eat in a large enamel jar. Shi Xu didn't want to continue reading the information, so he asked about Wu Minghe's past.

"Master Wu, what did you do before you were transferred here?"

Wu Minghe took a sip of tea from the teapot and recalled: "Well, I used to work as a firearms worker in Anhai Town. At first, I was cutting gun barrels, but I accidentally injured my finger and lost four fingers. one period."

As he spoke, Wu Minghe waved his right hand in front of Shi Xu's eyes. His fingers were thickly calloused, but the nails were missing.

Shi Xu had heard someone say that ten fingers are connected to the heart. Wu Minghe was missing four fingers all of a sudden, so he must have suffered a lot.

“I lacked fingers and could no longer do fine work, so I was transferred to roll bullets.

First, black powder bullets were rolled, and later smokeless powder bullets were rolled.

Then our military factory here developed a brass cartridge case stamping process, so we no longer need to roll bullets.

Then the Shangguan came to me and told me that the company had set up a secret factory. I was an honest person and could be entrusted with important tasks. He asked me if I would like to work in the secret factory?

I didn't have any good places to go, so I agreed.

When I got here, I was only responsible for assembling experimental cannonballs at first, but as the research and development work progressed, my work became more and more leisurely, and I gradually became a handyman. "

Shi Xu suddenly remembered the secret, "Aren't your Wu Yuxi afraid of leaking the secret when you come here like this?"

Wu Minghe chuckled, "They live in the factory's family courtyard and can't go out at all, so there is no leakage of secrets. They also understand the rules here and will not inquire about things here."

Shi Xu nodded when he heard this, "Then how do you usually do your shopping?"

"Oh, that's the thing. The service club will come here to hold a trade fair during the Chinese New Year, which lasts for more than half a month.

In addition, you can usually go to the service agency to buy things. We can grow most of the vegetables here, and we can also raise some small poultry at home.

Food, fresh meat, sea fish, eggs, milk and other supplies are regularly delivered to us from outside.

If you want to go out and relax, you can go to Handu or other places after reporting. "

Shi Xu nodded, "By the way, I studied subjects related to explosives in college. What kind of explosives do we have here?"

Wu Minghe responded to Shi Xu's question completely professionally, "There are a lot of explosives. The most common ones are TNT, picric acid, and black powder, but the most peculiar one is a kind of poison.

That was the patent that Chairman Shi personally ordered, and the consulate staff specially bought it from Germany, saying that this poison would be a perfect explosive. "(End of chapter)
