Chapter 21 Who is the Fat Meat?
"Miss, the people of the Qing Dynasty are the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese are the Chinese."
Zhu Xianhai frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. The woman's words made him think of his compatriots thousands of miles away.
Not only were they enslaved by foreign races, but they also lived in extreme poverty and war. Even the pigtails that were forced on them at the cost of countless heads became a symbol of Chinese masculinity in the eyes of outsiders.
This is simply the most ridiculous thing!
Sensing the other party's displeasure, Elizabeth quickly apologized.
"Oh, sir, I beg your pardon , I don't know the difference between the two."
The woman's apology made Zhu Xianhai smile bitterly with helplessness.
How could he explain it?
Tell the other party that the Qing Dynasty is not China?
But for the world, the Qing Dynasty is China, the China of this era.
Seeing that he seemed a little sad, Elizabeth, not knowing why he had such a psychological change, changed the subject and asked.
"Excuse me, sir, do you live at No. 27?"
If he remembered correctly, there was originally an unused house next door.
"Yes, I'm just living here temporarily."
Just at this moment, the door opened and several maids came out and bowed to her.
"Welcome back, Countess."
Countess?
Zhu Xianhai looked in surprise at the woman in front of him who looked to be in her twenties at most. She was actually a countess.
That's not right. There are no nobles in Argentina. Hasn't this country been a republic since its independence?
How could there be a countess?
"Okay, take my luggage up."
Elizabeth turned and said to Zhu Xianhai.
"Sir, oh, I think we will meet often in the future. I live next door to you, and we are neighbors..."
Looking at the woman's disappearing back, Zhu Xianhai muttered to himself.
"What does your living here have to do with me?"
However, if there is such a connection, it would not be bad. After all, this look and this figure are really attractive!
…
The quiet night was a bit boring. Sitting in the yard, although Zhu Xianhai seemed to be flipping the skewers on the grill from time to time, which he had specially ordered, he actually felt a bit heavy in his heart.
"We've already received orders for 55 pounds from the UK, and 20 pounds from France. If we keep going this way, we'll make a million pounds in no time, but..."
The fat is getting fatter and fatter.
Staring at the shiny fat on the skewers being roasted over charcoal, Zhu Xianhai felt as if he was turning into that piece of fat.
According to the "experience" in the simulator, two months later, as the export volume of Helen Pharmacy exceeded 100,000 pounds, this little-known pharmacy became famous in Buenos Aires, and Zhu Xianhai became a celebrity in this city.
Soon, he will receive an invitation from the president and then step into the upper class.
"The upper class is just fat meat in their eyes."
As he talked to himself, he thought again of the difficulties that would come in the future.
"Why is there a rebellion?"
Apparently, Argentina of this era was not as stable as he had imagined. First there was the Mapuche attack, and now there was the rebellion that would occur next year.
This country is a bit messy!
"Or else, go to Europe..."
Shaking his head, Zhu Xianhai threw this idea out of his mind. Compared with those white people in Europe who have racist ideas in their bones, the white people in South America can even be said to be more "civilized" because many of them have Indian ancestry, so the degree of racial discrimination is far less intense than in Europe and the United States.
Of course, they are not good people either, but at least they don't have to worry about being barbecued.
"smell good!"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the side. Turning around, I saw an elf looking through the half-person-high fence.
Not an elf, but a woman.
is her.
That Countess.
"Hello, we meet again."
Elizabeth said with a smile on her face.
"Hello……"
Staring at the beautiful woman behind the fence, her off-shoulder dress revealed her perfect shoulder and neck curves, her skin as delicate as mutton fat, shining seductively under the bright moonlight. The amazing curve in front of the beautiful woman made people even doubt gravity.
In an instant, a name emerged in Zhu Xianhai's mind... Daddario!
The evening breeze blew, bringing with it the faint scent of perfume from the beautiful woman. For a moment, Zhu Xianhai was stunned.
“Are you cooking a barbecue?”
Elizabeth said, sniffing the meaty aroma in the air.
"It seems to be mutton."
"Yeah, lamb kebabs."
Zhu Xianhai nodded and said.
"Kebab?"
Elizabeth asked curiously as she watched him sprinkle spices on the skewers.
"Is it tasty?"
"Want to try it?"
It's boring to eat barbecue alone, but it's not bad to have a beautiful woman accompany you. At least it's pleasing to the eyes, looking at the beautiful woman who looks like an elf under the moonlight. Zhu Xianhai handed her the grilled skewers.
Elizabeth took the lamb kebab without hesitation, but after just taking a bite, she said repeatedly.
“So spicy, so spicy…”
Looking at her cute face as she stuck out her tongue because of the spicy taste, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"When eating skewers, you need beer. Let's have a glass of beer..."
The beer is chilled, and the ice used to chill the beer may even come from Boston or somewhere in North America. These days, the ice is of course all natural, and of course it is not cheap.
However, Boss Zhu definitely doesn't lack this little money.
On a night like this, drinking beer and eating barbecue is indeed a rare enjoyment.
After a few drinks, they gradually became familiar with each other.
"That is to say, Earl was a title in the past."
The so-called title is a legacy of the Spanish Empire. Her husband's father was a count appointed by Spain, but his title was colonial. After the colonies gained independence, it became a title in name only.
"Yes, it's just a title. There's nothing else to it except the so-called title. When I die, maybe they'll engrave 'Countess' on my tombstone."
Leaning against the fence, Elizabeth looked at the starry sky and said.
"After all, this is the so-called republic, isn't it..."
Elizabeth, who was slightly drunk, smiled while leaning against the fence.
"By the way, when I came back today, Minnie told me that you often practice shooting in the yard. She reminded me to pay attention to the gunshots over here and not to be startled ."
"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Zhu Xianhai said, practicing shooting in the yard... is indeed quite disturbing.
"It doesn't matter. In this world, women need to protect themselves, and men need to protect themselves as well. After all, the world is not peaceful!"
Elizabeth's words surprised Zhu Xianhai.
"Not peaceful? What do you mean?"
