Chapter 31 The Chinese in Buenos Aires
Chinese!
A group of Chinese!
Is there anything more surprising than this?

There are other Chinese in Buenos Aires!

This is definitely the most unexpected thing.

Near the pier, after a lot of trouble, with the help of Qian Lian, they found the place where the Chinese people Elizabeth mentioned lived.

That is, the slums near the docks.Stepping on the creaking wooden stairs to the top floor, the air finally smells much better. On the top floor are several tents made of rags, and between the tents a man with a cane is busy working there. Watering the vegetable field and looking at the vegetables planted in wooden boxes, Zhu Xianhai smiled.

That's right!

This person must be Chinese!
You can tell by looking at it that it is definitely not an Indian.

"Hey, cripple, a gentleman is looking for you!"

Li Fugui, who was holding a wooden ladle, looked at the gentleman in front of him in surprise.

This man was dressed very decently, and he looked like the kind of gentleman who would never appear here.

But why is he here?

He paused and spoke in his not-so-fluent Spanish.

"Good morning sir……"

Glancing at him, Zhu Xianhai clasped his fists at him and said with a smile:

"My humble Zhu Xianhai, I don't know brother..."

"Oh, my lord, the young master can speak our words, and the young master also came from China?"

Listening to the familiar Mandarin, Li Fugui's face was full of surprises.

"Where did the young master come from? I'm from Hubei. I've heard that there is no Hanshui River. It's just opposite Wuchang..."

"I've heard that it's on the west bank of the Han River. The Qingchuan Pavilion of Yuwang Temple belongs to Hanyang."

"Oh, my lord knows Yuwang Temple and Qingchuan Pavilion. My lord, have you ever been to Hanyang?"

"I've heard, I've heard people say..."

"I've heard of it, it's definitely not far away."

Is there anything more joyful than meeting an old friend in a foreign land?Besides, it is still in a foreign country.

Not to mention him, even Zhu Xianhai was equally happy, so he took the initiative to invite him to the attached restaurant for dinner.

"This, this and that are suitable, my lord, you came to the door, it is logical that we should invite you..."

For a treat, you have to have money, right? In Li Fugui's current situation, let alone a treat, thank God if you don't suffer.

"Brother Li, you are being polite. Isn't my situation better than yours? By the way, you are the only one living here, or?"

"Eighteen. When we first came here, there were twenty-one. Three of them died. The others were working as coolies on the pier. There was no way. Those who were not familiar with the place where they lived and couldn't speak other people's language, were able to work as coolies. God bless."

That's God's blessing. It's because they are more diligent and work harder than others, and their wages are lower. Otherwise, no one may want them even if they work hard.

Eighteen people!

There are so many!
After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said.

"When will they get off work, call them. I have a yard near here. In this way, after the brothers get off work, you can lead them there, and let's have a good drink or two, put some foreign countries, and have a good time. It is fate, and there will be a care in the future."

"My lord, if you dare to be kind, I will do as you say, and it will not be troublesome to eat. We are not so particular, we are all rough people, just make a pot to stew a pot of meat. Foreigners eat, we I’m really not used to it.”

The place is in Zhu Xianhai's factory, which is not far from the wharf, and it has not been put into use yet. When he got there, Zhu Xianhai asked someone to buy a big pot, bought dozens of catties of beef, and stewed it directly in the pot.Of course, he didn't forget the most important thing - wine.

In Buenos Aires, you can’t buy rice wine or shochu. As for vodka, it’s only limited to Northern and Eastern Europe, but Brazilian rum is very common.

After working at the pier for a day, Wang Dewen and the others saw Li Fugui as soon as he came out of the pier. He was standing on the side of the road waiting with a cane.

"Fugui, why are you here?"

"Come to pick you up and tell you one thing. I met someone here today, just like us, from China."

"What?"

Sun Hu opened his eyes wide and said.

"It was also sold to us like us?"

"Look at what you said, whether you sell it or not, he is a noble man."

"Great man? Where the foreigners are placed, are there Chinese nobles?"

Wang Er was full of disbelief. When the group of them arrived at the yard rented by Zhu Xianhai, seeing his decent attire, many people seemed a little embarrassed. Not to mention, this person looked like the young master of a rich family. Rich, and certainly of extraordinary origin.

"What are you doing in a daze? I haven't seen Master Zhu soon,"

When Li Fugui said this, everyone reacted and clasped their fists in salute.

"Young Wang Dewen has met Young Master Zhu."

"Little Sun Hu..."

"Little Wang Er..."

"Small Liangshan..."

"Little Li Erqiang..."

……

"Look at how polite you are, young masters and young masters. Foreigners don't pay much attention. From now on, everyone will just call me Brother Zhu. Come and sit here. I haven't tidied up my place yet, everyone. Don't dislike me." I'll wait a little longer, the food will be cold now..."

Of course Zhu Xianhai was happy to see his compatriots here.

"Brother Zhu is being polite."

After a few pots of meat were brought to the table, everyone salivated at the smell of the meat, Zhu Xianhai raised the cup and said.

"It's fate to be able to meet the brothers in this place. In the future, the big guys will know each other and take care of each other. I will drink this glass of wine first, brother!"

Seeing Young Master Zhu drink a glass of wine directly, Li Fugui and the others all stood up and said.

"Brother Zhu is happy, the wine brothers have done it, and I will have to trouble Brother Zhu in the future."

For Li Fugui and the others, being able to meet a rich friend in a foreign country is such a good thing that it is hard to find even with a lantern, and he is so real.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Xianhai asked when the feeling of alcohol was slightly on the head.

"Then how did you come here?"

"How did it come here, how could it come here, let his mother's white-skinned pig be sold!"

Wang Dewen took a sip of his wine sullenly.

Was sold?
Zhu Xianhai put down his cup and said in surprise.

"How is this possible?"

Looking at the dozen or so of them, in fact, he has always had some doubts in his heart. According to his understanding, most of the Chinese who would go abroad to seek a living in the late Qing Dynasty were from Guangdong or Fujian, but the dozen or so of them were either from Hunan or Hubei. That is Anhui and Jiangsu.

"Hey……"

Looking at each other, Li Fugui sighed.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhu, we people are not from clean backgrounds."

Unclean birth?

What is unclean about birth?
Zhu Xianhai asked in surprise.

"Where does this come from?"

"Okay, Fugui, you just don't hide it, Brother Zhu, when we people used to stay in the country, we were all long-haired, do you know that long-haired?"
