At dinner time, Li Mu appeared at the restaurant on time.
On the way to the restaurant, Li Mu finally had a preliminary understanding of the ship.
This is a steam paddle steamer that has just appeared, and the so-called paddle steamer is a kind of ship with wheels on both sides of the ship, and because part of the wheels are exposed above the water, it is called "paddle steamer".
Paddle steamers generally have two types of propulsion, one is the original propulsion by human trampling on wooden wheels, and the other is propulsion by steam engine and propeller.
The ship Li Mu was on was propelled by a steam engine, although Li Mu did not go to the boiler room to confirm it, but Li Mu found a chimney in the stern.
After discovering that this was a paddle steamer, Li Mu immediately lost interest in this ship, this kind of boat appeared for a short time, and it would soon be replaced by propellers, it is better to understand this than to understand the dinner menu.
The restaurant was in the middle and upper part of the ship, Li Mu held on to the iron handrail, and walked up the stairs step by step, looking at Mike behind Li Mu with a look of disdain.
"What are you pretending to be that your body is obviously well, and you don't feel the slightest discomfort, why do you have to pretend to be so weak now, it's really a hypocritical Oriental" Mike pretended to help Li Mu walk forward, and his mouth couldn't stop chattering.
If Mike didn't add the words "hypocritical Oriental", Li Mu would definitely ignore Mike, but with these words, Li Mu would feel very hurt.
"Are you firing the map cannon again, do you want me to help you count the inferior nature of you Westerners" Li Mu was unceremoniously, and when he spoke, he was obviously full of energy, but he still felt out of breath.
You have to do a full set of plays "What is a map cannon?"
Mike really has no sense of humor as much as his profession.
Li Mu didn't explain the meaning of "map cannon", grabbed Mike's pigtails and chased after him: "If the Easterners are hypocritical, then you Westerners are the barbarism of Hongguoguo, the Eastern society composed of hypocritical Orientals is at least peaceful, and the Western society composed of barbaric Westerners is aggression in addition to colonization, this is the welfare you bring to the world."
"Nonsense that we in the West are civilized societies."
Mike immediately became a racist.
"Civilization hums chastity belts, girdles, chest sleeves, and hoods, this is what you call civilization" Li Mu was not polite, and counted the four major inventions of the European Middle Ages one by one.
It's really the "Four Great Inventions" of the Middle Ages, but it's a pity that unlike the Four Great Inventions of China, these inventions are all aimed at women, and what they bring them is not happiness, but outright humiliation.
Every time Li Mu said the same, Mike's face became a little ugly, and by the time Li Mu finished speaking, Mike's face was already like ashes.
Defeating Mike's arrogance, Li Mu did not chase and beat hard, and continued to climb up seemingly weakly.
Mike didn't dare to squeak anymore at this time, followed behind Li Mu, and looked at Li Mu with a look of surprise.
A few years ago, there were even important ministers of the Qing Dynasty who thought that there was no England or France in the world, and these foreigners were all from the same country, and they were working together to conquer the Qing Empire.
But now an eleven or twelve-year-old "child" actually broke the "four great inventions" of the European Middle Ages, which really made Mike embarrassed, and felt ashamed of being stripped naked in public.
Mike doesn't dare to treat Li Mu as a child anymore, Mike can now be sure that Li Mu will definitely be a big man in the future.
To say that Westerners at this time do have a sense of superiority in the face of Orientals, but this sense of superiority also depends on who is being faced, for example, when Mike faces Li Zhongtang of the Qing Empire, Mike will also be sincerely afraid of being respectful, after all, the gap in social status is too big, which makes Mike have no psychological advantage at all.
Mike had met Li Zhongtang, so he was able to get on the boat as a veterinarian, and now, Mike also had a heartfelt fear when facing Li Mu, which was not to the level of fear, just discomfort like fear, because Mike was not sure what kind of words Li Mu would say, which might make Mike even more embarrassed.
A few steps further up to the restaurant, said to be a restaurant, in fact, it is a small room, six or seven tables full of children wearing melon skin hats and dragging a big braid behind their backs, Li Mu has a feeling of seeing the zombie group.
Chen Liqiu was giving a lecture before the meal, and in turn it was just a set of "loyal monarchs and patriotic", Li Mu was not interested in "I am a Qing Dynasty", so he took care of himself and sat down on a stool with the support of Mike, leaning on the back of the chair to observe his friends.
Mike was very conscious, and after Li Mu sat down, he was busy looking for cutlery for Li Mu, which was not Mike's job originally, but now Mike did it naturally.
Chen Liqiu was still very concerned about Li Mu, seeing that Li Mu sat down directly without even saying hello, his face was a little angry, but he was also surprised when he saw that Dr.
Mike was attentive to Li Mu.
Since the Opium War, the status of foreigners in the Qing Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. is still the same sentence, it varies from person to person, Chen Liqiu, as a third-grade member of the imperial court, naturally will not be respectful to Mike, a foreign doctor, probably because he has a more respectful attitude, and he can't afford to hide from you.
Although Mike did not hold his own identity and bullied people on the ship, it was impossible to say that he had respect for the future hopes of the Qing Dynasty, and it was basically a business-like attitude.
But now looking at Mike's attitude towards Li Mu, there is already some cautious ingredients, which is enough to surprise Chen Liqiu, after all, although Mike is also very polite when treating Chen Liqiu, there is not much cautious ingredient.
This official of the Qing Dynasty may not be able to handle government affairs very well, and his ability to observe words and emotions is very high, otherwise he would not have been able to climb so high.
Li Mu soon lost interest in these future friends, these children are now watching their noses and noses, and they are sitting very upright listening to Chen Liqiu's words like an old monk, obviously they are all full of childish faces, but they are all trying their best to pretend to be young and old, which makes Li Mu very uncomfortable.
These are still a group of little children, and they are also a group of little children who have been poisoned by the idea of "loyalty and patriotism" since childhood, which makes Li Mu, an old man who is more than thirty years old, really unable to find a common language.
There is still a different one, opposite Li Mu, there is a little guy with an impatient face, wearing a white brocade robe and a warm hat studded with gems.
Although he was not engaged in the jewelry industry in his previous life, Li Mu, who had a lot of money and hobbies, could recognize it at a glance, it was a real gem, not the kind of transparent glass on the top of Chen Liqiu's head
