Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Lin Shangzhou nodded.

Lin Yangyu sighed heavily. There was nothing he could do about it.

"Well... let's pack up and go together. How can I let you live so far away by yourself?"

Then he looked at Cecilia and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, Lady Cecilia, I refuse your offer. My eldest brother has only one son, and I can't let him live so far away alone."

Cecilia nodded.

"It doesn't matter. It's better to say that I didn't think carefully about hiring Uncle Forle again. I should have thought of this."

Lin Shangzhou and Lin Yangyu walked into the house. After entering the house, Lin Shangzhou looked at his uncle's back and felt a little sad. He didn't want his uncle to go with him. Lin Yangyu already had a hidden illness. If he followed him to another place, who knew if he would develop other diseases due to acclimatization.

"uncle…"

Lin Shangzhou called Lin Yangyu softly, and Lin Yangyu turned his head and looked at him and asked:

"Shang Zhou, what's wrong?"

"Um...can you stay home? I can go by myself."

Hearing him say that, Lin Yangyu immediately became unhappy. He said excitedly: "How can this be possible! You are going to such a far place by yourself. You are going there without anyone around. What if someone bullies you? Your father handed you over to me, so I have to take good care of you. I must go with you!"

However, the more strongly Lin Yangyu expressed her desire to go with him, the stronger Lin Shangzhou's reluctance became. He was very touched that Lin Yangyu cared about him so much, which was something he had never experienced before he traveled through time. It was for this reason that he was unwilling to let Lin Yangyu go with him. Lin Yangyu loved him, and he also loved Lin Yangyu. He didn't want Lin Yangyu to go with him to such a far place.

Lin Shangzhou advised:

"Uncle, I know you're worried about me going there alone, but you also have to know that your nephew has grown up and is no longer the loser he used to be."

"What a waste! If anyone dares to call my nephew a waste, I will fight him to the death!"

Hearing Lin Shangzhou calling him like that, Lin Yangyu said excitedly.

"Then tell me whether I was a waste in the past!"

"I never leave the house, I don't read, I don't talk to others, I always have a bad face towards Germans, I just do nothing at home every day. If you hadn't forced me to learn how to drive, I wouldn't even have the skills to make a living. If I'm not a waste, then who is a waste!"

"When I knew you were going to retire and hand over your job to me, I was scared and panicked. I didn't know what to do, but my mindset changed. I was already 20 years old. Most men in my hometown would have started a family and a career by the age of 20, but I was still living under your protection. I knew I couldn't go on like this. I made myself stop hating Germans, became willing to talk, and knew how to behave...

"Uncle, you have seen all these changes. Uncle, your nephew is no longer the useless man he used to be. He has no problem traveling alone."

Lin Shangzhou looked into Lin Yangyu's eyes and spoke with emotion. During this month, he also learned from Lin Yangyu what a waste the "Lin Shangzhou" in the past was, so he imagined himself as his predecessor and expressed his feelings.

Lin Yangyu looked at his nephew with tears in his eyes. Of course he saw the changes in Lin Shangzhou. He was very happy that his nephew had changed so much. He felt worried and relieved.

Seeing that his uncle was no longer so excited, Lin Shangzhou grinned and said, "And I also want you to help me take care of Nuoya. What if we both leave and Nuoya is taken away by someone?"

Lin Yangyu wiped her tears with her sleeve, walked to Lin Shangzhou, tapped him on the head and smiled.

"You kid, you may not be able to come back in the future, and you still want to harm Noya. But since you said so, I can't help but help you look after her. If you have the chance, you must remember to come back to me."

"Yes! That's for sure!"

Lin Shangzhou nodded vigorously, stretched out his arms and hugged Lin Yangyu tightly. Lin Yangyu was stunned at first, then hugged him too. After hugging his nephew, Lin Yangyu sobbed softly.

Lin Shangzhou also knew that his uncle was crying, so he waited until his uncle's crying died down before releasing his arms.

Then Lin Yangyu helped Lin Shangzhou pack his things, but in the end he didn't take anything. Lin Shangzhou only changed one set of clothes. The rest of the clothes and daily necessities could be bought in Strasbourg.

Before leaving, Lin Yangyu stuffed several thousand-dollar bills and other marks and coins of varying amounts into Lin Shangzhou's wallet, filling his wallet so full that Lin Shangzhou had to take some of the change out of his wallet and put it in his shirt pocket and put his wallet in the inside pocket of his clothes.

After everything was ready, the two of them walked out of the house.

"Is everything packed?"

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded, and Lin Yangyu said to Cecilia: "Lady Cecilia, I talked with Shangzhou and decided to accept your offer. After all, Shangzhou is old, and I can't always protect and take care of him, so let him go alone. I believe he can solve all the difficulties he encounters."

Cecilia looked at Lin Shangzhou with some surprise, then nodded.

After a final hug with his uncle, Lin Shangzhou got into the car. Lin Yangyu stood in the yard and waved to his nephew, then watched the car drive away with his vision blurred by tears.

Chapter 27 The last meal before leaving

A few dozen minutes later, Cecilia drove Lin Shangzhou to Berlin Railway Station. After parking the car outside the train station, she and Lin Shangzhou got off together.

After getting off the train, Lin Shangzhou looked at the train station in front of him. He had taken the high-speed rail but never a train, so he was quite curious about the train.

"You've never been to a train station?"

Seeing Lin Shangzhou looking at the train station, Cecilia asked.

"Well, I've never been to a train station or taken a train. My hometown is a small county town in China. The most common vehicles in the fields and on the streets of the county town are donkey-drawn horse-drawn carts. There are not many cars, let alone trains. If you don't go to a big city, you can only see the rails passing through the farmland and the trains rumbling past on them."

This was the first time that Lin Shangzhou answered Cecilia's seemingly embarrassing question without feeling embarrassed. Firstly, he had never taken one, and secondly, given the environment in China in 1930, if you didn't go to a big city, you could only see trains and tracks but couldn't take a train.

Cecilia didn't quite believe what Lin Shangzhou said. In her opinion, China, or rather the Qing Dynasty (PS: in this world, the Qing Dynasty was restored by the direct warlords supported by Germany after Germany's victory in World War I), was also a great country. How could it be so bad? She looked at Lin Shangzhou suspiciously and asked:

“Is China that backward?”

Lin Shangzhou rolled his eyes at her and said:

"What do you think? I am Chinese. It is as clear as can be."

Cecilia is German and has never been to China, so she doesn't know what the situation is like in China. But as a Chinese, Lin Shangzhou knows it very well. Anyone who has studied junior high school or high school history or is interested in modern Chinese history knows what kind of country China is in this era. Although this world is not the Republic of China but the Qing Dynasty restored by the Zhili warlords, one thing will not change, and that is the degree of backwardness of China in this era.

"Well... okay, I believe you."

Cecilia looked at Lin Shangzhou and nodded. Her words reminded him of China here. After thinking about the current situation of China in the KR world, Lin Shangzhou felt unhappy and uncomfortable. He stopped looking at the train station and turned his head to look around while looking at Cecilia:

"Let's go. Don't we still need to find someone to deliver the tickets? Don't waste time."

"Well, come with me. I have arranged a meeting place with him."

Cecilia nodded and took Lin Shangzhou to find the person who delivered the ticket.

Because the location had been agreed upon in advance, it didn't take Cecilia long to find the ticket delivery person on a public seat not far from the train station entrance.

When she walked over with Lin Shangzhou, the ticket delivery man also saw them. The ticket delivery man in gray military uniform stood up and walked quickly to Cecilia. He straightened his body and saluted her respectfully. Cecilia also returned the salute.

Lin Shangzhou looked at the young ticket deliveryman. He didn't look very old and had a childish look on his face. Was he about seventeen or eighteen years old?

Are you joining the army at such a young age?

"Captain, this is the ticket you asked me to buy."

The ticket deliveryman took out a train ticket from his pocket and handed it to Cecilia. She didn't take it but turned her head to look at Lin Shangzhou and said, "Give the ticket to him. I asked you to buy the ticket for him."

"Yes."

The ticket deliverer handed the ticket to Lin Shangzhou.

"Thank you."

Lin Shangzhou took the ticket and thanked him. The person who delivered the ticket smiled happily and said:

"You're welcome."

After checking the information on the ticket, he saw that it was for Strasbourg, the time was 1 o'clock, and there was still an hour left. Putting the ticket in his pocket, Lin Shangzhou extended his hand to the person who delivered the ticket and introduced himself to him.

"Hello, my name is Fritz Hipper."

When the ticket deliverer saw Lin Shangzhou extending his hand, he saluted him without hesitation, and then the atmosphere became awkward.

Cecilia looked at the ticket deliverer speechlessly and covered her eyes with her right hand, unable to bear to look at the scene in front of her.

"Bode, he's not a soldier, why are you saluting him?"

After Cecilia's reminder, the dazed Bode hurriedly put down his right hand in salute and shook Lin Shangzhou's hand.

"Hello, my name is Bode Leinster, Mr. Hipper, you can just call me Bode."

Bode's voice was very loud and energetic, and he looked very energetic. Lin Shangzhou loosened his hand and looked at Bode. The way he saluted reminded him of the German salute. A soldier like him extending his right hand to salute the German salute and shouting: Heil! Hitler, must have a very dramatic effect.

But he was just thinking about it. After all, the German salute is a nice German salute, but a bad Nazi salute. It is not popular. Although there are no Nazis in this world, no one would say anything to him even if he used the German salute. (But I can't write like this as an author)

"What time is the train?"

Cecilia asked Lin Shangzhou.

"One o'clock. There's still an hour left. I can have a meal before leaving."

"A little?"

Cecilia thought about it and nodded.

"Let's go, let's go get something to eat."

After that, she looked at Bode: "Bode, do you want to join us?"

"of course."

Bode nodded happily.

Then they found a Chinese restaurant near the train station and went in. The person who suggested going to this Chinese restaurant was Lin Shangzhou, who had never eaten this kind of "Chinese food" in a Chinese restaurant.

After sitting down, Lin Shangzhou saw a very familiar name on the menu brought by the waiter: Zuo Zongtang, followed by the word "chicken", Zuo Zongtang Chicken.

"Forehead…"

Lin Shangzhou looked at the dishes with a strange look on his face. In addition to General Tso’s Chicken and Li Hongzhang’s Offal, he also saw many other dishes from Lijibapu, such as Li Kui Sausage, Zhuge Sandwich, Emperor Taizong of Tang Biscuits, and Zhu Yuanzhang Soup…

The most normal dish is called: Beef stew with potatoes.

When Lin Shangzhou saw this name, he felt that his young heart, which had been hurt by the strange name of the dish, was purified. He didn't know why it was named like this. Now he just regretted coming to this restaurant. Why put a person's name before the dish? Is this high-class?

Cecilia, who was sitting next to him, was full of curiosity about the items on the menu. If her sister came over and saw the Li Kui sausage and Zhuge sandwich, she would find it as outrageous as Lin Shangzhou did. But Cecilia was different because she didn't know what these names meant. She was very curious and wanted to try them.

"Fritts, what's wrong with you?"

She turned her head and saw Lin Shangzhou, who seemed to be petrified, and asked with a strange expression.

"I pushed myself into hell..."

Lin Shangzhou murmured softly. He didn't even want to look at these names anymore. Despite this, he still planned to try what these dishes tasted like.

"what?"

"It's okay, let's order."

Lin Shangzhou shook his head and said to the waiter, "I want a serving of Li Kui sausage, beef stew with potatoes, and Zhu Yuanzhang soup."

The waiter wrote down the name of the dish and asked, "Sir, what would you like for the main course?"

"Are there any staple foods? What are they?"

Lin Shangzhou looked at the waiter in surprise. He was also a little afraid that he would hear some strange name again.

(Shouldn't there be any weird names for staple foods?)

"On the other side of the menu, our staples include rice, noodles and steamed bread. If you prefer the German diet, we also have bread."

Lin Shangzhou flipped over the menu and saw the staple food written on it. His heart was healed again. When he heard the waiter say there was bread, he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.

"No, no, no bread. Just give me some rice."

Lin Shangzhou handed the menu to Cecilia beside him. Cecilia took the menu and looked at the names of the dishes.

"Okay, Miss and Gentleman, what do you two need to order?"

Because she had never eaten it before, Cecilia randomly ordered a few things that interested her, including sausages, steak and a bowl of soup. As for the prefixes of their names, Lin Shangzhou said he didn't hear them. Bode on the opposite side also ordered some food randomly. He ordered a rice bowl. Lin Shangzhou was surprised to order a rice bowl, but he said he didn't want to hear the name of the rice bowl at all.

This thing is called Zhu Di Rice Bowl.

About ten minutes later, the waiter brought the dishes. After seeing the finished product, Lin Shangzhou felt healed again. These dishes only had weird names, but they looked quite normal.

Zhu Yuanzhang's soup is pork soup, and Zhu Di's rice is pork and potato rice.

Lin Shangzhou said that if these two people knew that their names were used in this way, the owner of this store should be executed along with all nine clans... no, eighteen clans.

After lunch, there were still more than twenty minutes before one o'clock. Lin Shangzhou and Cecilia said a few final words of goodbye and went to the train station to wait for the train to arrive.

At 12:50 he boarded the train to Strasbourg, and at 1:00 the train left, and he was on the road to Strasbourg.
