Chapter 11: Butcher? No, he's a doctor
There were few people in the coffee shop in the morning.
Facing his guardian angel, life mentor, savior and guiding light, Buffett seems quite attentive.
"Sir, what are your plans for the next step?"
Stirring the coffee with a spoon, Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips in response to Buffett's question.
Previously at the Military Department, just as he said goodbye to the major, a carriage stopped in front of him, and he "coincidentally" met Buffett again.
Is it really a coincidence?
of course not.
Buffett had been waiting outside Major Bellucci's manor early in the morning. Mr. Zhu was his guiding light, guardian angel, and life mentor!
"Next step……"
Zhu Xianhai thought for a while and said.
"I should live here for a while, who knows?"
Let’s make some money first.
"Stay for a while."
Buffett's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zhu, have you found a place to live?"
"residence?"
Zhu Xianhai raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
"Not yet. I'm planning on finding a hotel to stay in."
"Hotel? How can that be possible? If Mr. Zhu doesn't mind, I have an apartment in the city that's vacant..."
Buffett immediately seized the opportunity to extend the invitation. This was a chance to get close to a life mentor.
"Is this...convenient?"
Zhu Xianhai did not refuse Buffett's invitation. Now that someone offered to help, how could Zhu Xianhai refuse his help?
It's a little risky to hug Malena's long legs, but Buffett is also a meal ticket.
The apartment that Buffett mentioned not only has a good surrounding environment, but is also a two-story connected building. Although there are not many rooms, it is definitely more than enough for one person to live in. There is even a maid, but her appearance is really average.
"Sophia is the maid here. She's responsible for cleaning and taking care of your daily life. If you have anything to ask, just tell her. However, she is Italian like me, so her Spanish is not very fluent."
With a villa to live in and maids to serve, what else could you ask for in this life?
Zhu Xianhai was of course very satisfied with Buffett's arrangement. What made him even more satisfied was that Buffett was very tactful and took his leave after giving Sophia a few words of advice.
Although this person is a leek, he is very sensible!
…
Have a good night's sleep.
When he woke up again, Zhu Xianhai felt a little dazed as he looked at the sunlight shining into the room through the window.
This...from now on, this will be his home?
Even if it's only temporary, at least I have a place to stay.
Every worker knows very well that when arriving at a new place, the most important thing is to first arrange food and accommodation, and then plan the next step.
In fact, this is mostly true for time travelers.
What we faced at the beginning was not saving the country and the people or grand undertakings, but the daily trivialities of food and shelter.
But now Zhu Xianhai doesn’t need to worry about this at all. After all, Buffett has already solved some of the problems.
After I got up, got dressed and came downstairs, Sofia greeted me in stiff Spanish.
"Good morning sir, tooth powder and toothbrush are ready for you."
"Uh, thank you."
Is this what it means to live with servants?
While I was brushing my teeth, Sophia had already prepared breakfast.
All this was unfamiliar to Zhu Xianhai, but he had to admit that it was indeed very comfortable. While enjoying his breakfast, Zhu Xianhai began to wonder.
"...It seems that Buffett really put his heart into it!"
If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
…
shop!
To be honest, Buffett really doesn't want to walk around the streets. After all, many immigrants from Europe arrive in Buenos Aires every day. Those penniless immigrants will do anything to make a living. There are pickpockets and robbers everywhere.
If you run into those people, you will be in bad luck. Of course, in a central area like Plaza de Mayo, you rarely see such people. After all, patrolmen and mounted policemen on the streets are not just for show.
However, what Buffett is more curious about right now is Zhu Xianhai's behavior - he always goes in and out of some stores from time to time, and he seems to be very interested in the goods .
"Mr. Zhu, you seem to be very interested in the goods in the store,"
"Yes,"
Zhu Xianhai nodded.
“Most of the goods here are European.”
Latin America in this
"Sir, of course. In the New World, European products are always the most popular. European products are synonymous with high-end products."
Buffett said quite proudly.
" European goods are a symbol of status, sir. Even poor people will consider European goods first. As for local goods... who would like them?"
Buffett's answer made Zhu Xianhai feel powerless. No wonder South America was still a dumping ground for goods from all over the world until the 21st century. There is no cure for this consumption concept!
Well, South America is a country controlled by the comprador group.
"If we build a factory here, can we replace imported goods?"
"This is impossible."
Buffett said flatly.
"The quality of local products is too poor, no one will be willing to buy them..."
As he continued walking forward, Zhu Xianhai saw a group of people gathered on the roadside from afar. As he approached, Buffett said excitedly.
"Sir, a man's leg was broken by a falling rock, and the doctor is about to saw it off."
What!
Zhu Xianhai opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Saw off his leg? Here."
Shouldn't doctors perform surgery in hospitals? Why in a place like this?
"Yes, sir."
Buffett said,
"Sir, do you want to take a look? It's not easy to come across something like this."
Obviously, joining in the fun is not just a hobby of the Chinese. People all over the world have this hobby. Moreover, in this era of scarce entertainment activities, even Buffett is enjoying the "leg-sawing drama" with great interest.
Among the crowd of onlookers, Zhu Xianhai saw the doctors of that era - the doctors were wearing aprons that were black with dried blood and even covered with flies.
Well……
Is this a doctor?
This is clearly a butcher!
Even his tools, in Zhu Xianhai's view, looked more like the tools a butcher uses to slaughter pigs, and the open tool bag was also covered with flies.
What is even more surprising is that this guy, who looks more like a butcher than a doctor, is actually performing surgery right here, on the roadside, on the street, next to a construction site, with a saw, sawing off the unfortunate guy's leg again and again.
This... this is the surgery of this era!
This is not a surgical operation at all, it's just like a butcher killing a pig!
