Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The meeting at the Governor's Office gave the delegation a better understanding of the current situation here. The local people's personal opinions are always better than a general report.

After Shang Zhi, some heads from other departments in the Caotai team also came forward to explain, such as food, medical, education, cleanup and reconstruction.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Shang Zhi, but the content is relatively pragmatic. It’s not overly pedantic, but it’s also not boastful. It’s basically about being honest about the current situation and enjoying the future.

If put in the conventional investment world, this kind of thing can probably be classified as "shameless and shameless", a person who is so poor that he only has a pair of underpants and wants to trick investors into making money.

But the inspection team did not come with purely commercial purposes after all. The degree of explanation given by these people was just right.

Zhou Rui seriously doubted that everyone's PPTs had been reviewed by Shang Zhi, or even made by him.

The meeting lasted for a long time. The inspection team mainly listened. No one, including Zhou Rui, came up to speak, as if they were leaders who came to listen to the report.

But in fact, it's almost the same. In the whole process, the inspection team undoubtedly took the absolute initiative.

To be more precise, Zhou Rui is the one who takes the absolute initiative. Even Khalid follows his lead.

So from the beginning to the end, everyone was observing the face of Master Zhou.

Sitting at the end, Yui Nigen, the reconstruction support ambassador, bit her lip and tried to read Zhou Rui's expression every three seconds.

It's a pity that Zhou Rui has always been calm.

It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the first meeting ended. Weng Changzhixiong took Zhou Rui to visit other places in the Governor's Office, and then the mighty motorcade set off again.

Although supplies were scarce, the formal dinner on the first day should have been arranged by the Ryukyu side, otherwise the scene would have been too ugly. Onagashio still worked hard to organize the meal tonight.

The car drove all the way to a hillside outside Naha City. Because of the high terrain, a complete high-end restaurant with beautiful environment was preserved here.

It is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the scenery is pleasant. Of course, the original so-called "Kaiseki" master has long since ran away, but the Ryukyu side pulled out a team of chefs from various shelters to show Mr. Zhou the local Ryukyu cuisine.

The mountain below is a mess, but the mountain is exquisite and beautiful, with a strong sense of fragmentation of reality.

From the layout to the decoration, the overall interior still presents a Japanese courtyard style. Combined with the past explained by Shang Zhi before, it creates another sense of historical fragmentation.

Everyone is distributed in five connected private rooms in the shape of a "concave". In the center is a pool of water, dotted with frightened deer and spanned by a small bridge. However, there are no fish in the pool. I don't know if they have been fished out. eaten.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Rui's place is naturally the "main table". In addition to himself, Khalid, Ong Changzhixiong and Shang Zhi, the support ambassador Miss Xinyuan Yui was also inserted in. , sitting in the corner, looking like he was here to pour wine.

While waiting for the food, Zhou Rui said to Ong Nagashio: "Governor Gu, what are the characteristics of Ryukyu's local food?"

Weng Changshixiong showed off: "The food and crops here are similar to those of Fujian and Fujian in China. We often eat melon, eggplant, taro, onion, ginger, garlic and leek. In addition, Ryukyu has regarded pork as the most precious meat since ancient times, and our pork dishes are very famous. Yes, Mr. Zhou must try it tonight."

Zhou Rui glanced at Khalid subconsciously.

Khalid remained calm, called his men, and whispered: "Go and get me some naan."

He didn't eat enough at noon.

After a while, dishes were served one after another. Although Zhou Rui couldn't name them, they looked quite familiar.

Snacks made from tofu and potatoes, pork hot pot, and Ryukyu version of braised pork. Once again, I felt that Ryukyu really "learned from China".

If Lin Tuo's grasp of the situation is correct, it can be said that he has spent a lot of money to provide a meal for so many of them.

The banquet was also quite lively. In the second half, Yui Shingen, like Hua Butterfly, shuttled around to pour wine, carrying a bit of fragrance with her every time she passed by.

Zhou Rui was curious and asked midway: "Ms. Xinyuan, when did you return to Ryukyu? Can you take care of your acting career in Japan at the same time?"

Xinyuan Yui was nervous for a moment, but she couldn't speak for a long time. Zhou Rui only understood half of what she said, and she couldn't open her mouth to speak.

Onagashio took the initiative and said: "Yui-chan cares about her hometown. When Ryukyu was hit by the disaster last year, she came back resolutely. I am afraid that her acting career on the island will have to be given up."

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows, is he so enlightened?

Ong Nagashio added: "Yui-chan even used her popularity to raise several supplies for us, which solved our urgent need."

Of course, maybe he was impulsive once? But the correct choice made on impulse is still worthy of praise.

No wonder he looks darker and haggard. I guess this "Reconstruction Support Ambassador" has done some practical things.

Zhou Rui was not stingy either and praised: "An admirable choice."

Xinyuan Yui didn't know if she understood, but anyway she stared and nodded heavily. Maybe this face was too familiar, and the feeling of a TV series emerged again.

Weng Changzhixiong said thiefly: "Yui-chan and you are similar in age, so we must have a lot in common. Mr. Zhou, you can communicate more."

Zhou Rui glanced at this guy.

Ah, yes, yes, yes, I can’t even understand Chinese, so I can just babbling, and I can’t communicate at all.

It was getting late in the second half. On his way to the toilet, Zhou Rui heard a noise outside the restaurant.

Curious, he walked towards that direction, but was stopped by Lin Tuo.

Lin Tuo clicked on the earphone and said after a moment: "It seems that a local is making trouble. You don't need to go there. He has been stopped."

Zhou Rui became even more curious: "The locals are causing trouble? Let's go and have a look. Just treat it as an inspection. Let's verify the governance level of this group."

Lin Tuo thought for a while and realized that there was really only one person, so he didn't stop him.

Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, there was indeed a middle-aged man in shabby clothes. He was blocked by security personnel at a distance. He had a loud voice and didn't know what he was shouting.

Zhou Rui looked at Lin Tuo, who translated: "Well, he said he wants his pig back."

Zhou Rui: Huh?

I immediately thought of those pork hot pot and other pork dishes.

It was quite complete, and there was also a dish of pork, pork belly, and pig intestines. Zhou Rui thought at the time that it was similar to the Northeastern butchered pig dish.

Emotions really kill a pig!

How do you say this? Is it to rob civilian pigs? If this is the case, Zhou Rui will slightly lower the ratings of Weng Changzhixiong and others.

This person seemed honest and honest, and he didn't do any other extreme behavior. The guards just stopped him without taking action, waiting for Ryukyu's own people inside to come out and deal with it.

After a while, a local Ryukyu official trotted out and started arguing with the other party. Zhou Rui also listened to the excitement through Lin Tuo's translation.

It turned out that this person was a farmer. After the disaster, he rescued seven or eight piglets from the ruins of the farm by chance and has been raising them ever since.

This is a rare item, but it is a pity that it has been groomed. Otherwise, in this dilapidated Ryukyu, it would be extremely rich.

Anyway, I spent all day long searching for food for the pigs. I treated each one as my own, and then sold one from time to time in exchange for other things. I persisted like this for almost a year.

What Zhou Rui ate just now was his last pig. The pig was brought up the mountain by the farmer himself.

The price was a lot of canned food, instant noodles, rice, an extra ration of vegetables, and two precious bottles of wine.

As a result, when the farmer opened it today, he saw that the wine had gone bad. The farmer stopped drinking it and ran up to yell for a confrontation.

Zhou Rui watched for a while and said to Lin Tuo: "It's not easy, just ask them to refill him with two bottles of wine."

Lin Tuo conveyed Zhou Rui's intention to the local official, but the other party got into trouble. Drinks are now also a luxury product. Who knows if they have really gone bad.

Even if it is true, you can't give it to him on the spot. The wine in the courtyard is for entertaining distinguished guests. What if there is not enough wine in a while?

The farmer was determined to take the wine and leave on the spot anyway, so he felt relieved, and the stalemate broke out again.

It seemed that he saw Zhou Rui watching the excitement out of the corner of his eye. He obviously recognized the leader Zhou and shouted excitedly in this direction.

Zhou Rui looked at Lin Tuo again.

(Translation by Linto)

"I have important news to report! Zhou Sama!"

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Can you promise me some conditions? If you promise me something, I will tell you."

Zhou Rui: Are you here to be funny?

Seeing Zhou Rui turning around to leave, the farmer became anxious and could only shout:

"I know a secret storage place! There are a lot of weapons left by the Americans in it! Tanks! And cannons! There is everything Zhou Sama! You listen to me!"

Zhou Ruimai took his foot back again.
