Chapter 419: Ishihara Wan'er's China Tour (Part II)


"Mr.

Ishihara, this is the dish you asked for.

Please use it slowly."

Several waiters carried the plates and brought the dishes he ordered one by one and placed them on the table.

Sukiyaki, salted cuttlefish, hand-held tuna sushi, takoyaki balls, salmon grilled on a teppanyaki, boiled berries, fried tempura, the main dish is beef donburi, dessert is edamame rice cake, and a bottle of Japanese sake.

All authentic Japanese food.

"I didn't expect that I could eat such authentic Japanese food in China."

Ishihara smiled and took a bite, feeling very satisfied.

The taste of the food is quite authentic.

Even though the bottle of Japanese sake is made in China, it tastes very authentic.

He looked at the decoration and furnishings in the room again, and they were also full of Japanese style.

The tatami exudes the scent of grass, the translucent camphor paper lattice sliding door that creates a hazy atmosphere, the low Japanese dining table, and several Japanese bonsai placed in the private room.

If he hadn't known that he was in Shanghai, he would have thought this was a Japanese mid-range restaurant.

"Mr.

Ishihara, what do you think of the taste?"

Boss Niu Dachun came over to greet him.

After he learned that Ishihara Wanji was Japanese, he specially asked about the taste of the dishes.

Because he has never been to Japan, he doesn’t know whether his wife’s cooking is authentic or not.

In fact, his wife Yamaguchi Momoeko herself doesn’t know whether the dishes she cooks are considered Japanese cuisine.

Because she was born in a poor family, she never had the opportunity to come into contact with these various dishes, let alone eat them, many of which she had never even heard of.

"It's very delicious, just like the taste of my hometown."

Ishihara Wanji said sincerely, clasping his hands together.

He is very proficient in Chinese, and although his accent is a little weird, there is no problem communicating with him.

"That's good, that's good.

You can use it slowly."

Niu Dachun breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Niu is an honest man.

His restaurant is a "Japanese-style" brand.

It would be a shame if the dishes he cooked were accused of not having authentic flavor.

This Japanese guest is said to be a university lecturer in Tokyo.

He is obviously not an ignorant country girl like my wife.

He said the taste is authentic, so you can rest assured.

In fact, many of the dishes Momoeko Yamaguchi learned will only be available in later generations.

The Japanese of this period had never even heard of it, let alone eating it, but the flavor was the same.

"Boss Niu, can I ask you about some local things?

I have just arrived in Shanghai and am not familiar with it."

Ishihara Wan'er quickly kept Niu Dachun.

"Oh, that's no problem.

What do you want to ask?"

Niu Dachun sat down.

Ishihara Wan'er poured him a glass of sake and asked: "Boss Niu, I have been in Shanghai for a few days and have traveled to many places, including the city and suburbs, but I haven't seen a single beggar or street child.

It’s really surprising.

Even in Tokyo, Japan, and big cities in Europe, there are a lot of people like this.

Why aren’t they here?”

Ishihara Kanji's first impression of Shanghai was that it was clean and tidy.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The streets and alleys throughout Shanghai were very clean, and there was no paper or trash at all.

There are trash cans and spittoons at regular intervals on the road.

Trash cans usually have two openings and are divided into recyclable garbage and non-recyclable garbage.

Those spittoons are also very interesting.

There is a foot pedal underneath.

When you step on it, the top lid opens, containing a layer of quicklime for disinfection.

These trash cans and spittoons are stamped out of iron sheets and have unique and exquisite shapes.

Most of them are in the shape of cartoon animals holding or carrying baskets, so that Ishihara Wanji, a bumpkin, couldn't recognize these things as spitting garbage at first.

I thought it was a large vase or flower pot or something like that.

Originally, Ishihara Wanji thought that many people were needed to clean it.

Later, after seeing the unique-looking sweeper, he came to realize that as long as these cars with music playing passed by, the road would be clean, so he followed them.

The cleaners only need to clean the corners.

There are also vehicles dedicated to collecting trash cans and spittoons, which really opened his eyes.

The second impression is that of order, incomparable order.

Not only are the vehicles on the road driving in a disciplined manner, but pedestrians are also doing the same.

Whether they are taking a bus or shopping, everyone is queuing up in a disciplined manner.

The legendary chaotic scene cannot be seen at all.

And most of these people use trash cans and spittoons consciously.

He has only seen a few people littering these days.

Those Chinese who violated the rules were immediately caught by a few people wearing red armbands.

The punishment was to work as a voluntary cleaner for half a day, helping the sanitation workers empty the trash cans and clean up.

Spittoons and sweeping the streets.

One of them seemed to be Spanish or Portuguese.

This guy was caught on the spot by an old lady wearing a red armband for spitting.

Not only was he ordered to clean up, but he also worked as a voluntary cleaner with the Chinese.

In the end, this was not the end, his passport was stamped.

Ishihara Wanji is aware of this regulation.

Someone at the quarantine station specially provided them with popular education on relevant laws and regulations, including common laws and public security regulations, traffic rules, health rules, etc.

If they were in China If you violate the law, you will be punished the same as Chinese people.

There is no need to say more about the crime, so just go in.

Minor violations like this will not be ignored.

Every violation will be recorded.

Chinese people are recorded in a special personal security file, while foreigners are stamped in their passports with the words "Violation" "Public Security Management Regulations", "Violation of Traffic Regulations" or "Violation of Health Regulations".

Minor violations like this are not so easy to violate.

The first three times of the year are half-day voluntary labor, the fourth to sixth times are fines plus voluntary labor, and the seventh to tenth times are whipped or boarded.

Foreign guests also No exception.

The Chinese government in this dimension does not have those bullshit habits of "preferential treatment to foreign guests".

All laws and regulations treat everyone equally.

Unless there are diplomats with legal immunity, they will all be punished with the same crime.

If a foreigner's passport is stamped ten times within a year, he can get out.

He will be sent out of the country by the relevant Chinese departments.

Even diplomats will be expelled and will not be allowed to enter the country for two years.

Well, if you are willing to spend a large sum of money to pay a fine and have a guarantee from the country's government, the ban period can be shortened or canceled.

If the offender is Chinese, there is no need to worry about being kicked out, but what awaits him is three consecutive months of labor education.

Of course, what Ishihara doesn't know is that the current Chinese people who insist on order and observing rules are whipped and fined.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the hygienic habits and discipline of the vast majority of Chinese people were very impressive, which made Wen Desi from the 23rd century extremely disgusted.

It is useless to rely solely on verbal education and propaganda for this kind of thing.

The Great Picture Dynasty of the original time and space has done enough, and it will take several decades to have some effect, and there will often be backlash during this period.

Wen Desi has always believed that only pain is the best memory enhancer.

Whether it is physical pain or mental pain, it is extremely effective.

The former is a whip or a board, and the latter is a fine.

If the whipping makes his body hurt or the punishment makes his heart ache, he will remember it firmly.

And the most deterrent thing is that whipping and beating are carried out in squares or in crowded places.

Facts have proved that Mr.

Wen's violent methods are extremely effective, and he has straightened out those bad habits in a few years.

As for tens of millions of people who have been whipped or beaten, it is just the pain of history.

Originally, Ishihara Kanji thought this was just a window-dressing thing.

An international metropolis like Shanghai would definitely be more particular.

Not only is the central area of ​​the city so clean and orderly, but also the small alleys and suburban streets. of cleanliness and order.

Although these good social customs touched Ishihara greatly, they were nothing compared to other things.

That is the extremely good social security.

Before coming to China, Ishihara also studied information about Shanghai.

Whether it is the travel notes written by Japanese people who have been to Shanghai before or the introduction of Shanghai by the Army Intelligence Department, they all point out that Shanghai is a city with poor public security.

The gangs here are very rampant.

They engage in gambling and prostitution and bully the market.

Traveling across the countryside.

But he has been here for several days, and he often observes the public sentiment in densely populated "high-crime areas" such as stations, ports, and markets, but he has not seen even a thief or pickpocket, let alone those legendary ones.

Things like the "Axe Gang" and the "Green Gang".

The most incredible thing is that he even saw a beggar.

Those travel notes and intelligence especially emphasized that Shanghai is a paradise for adventurers.

There are not only extremely glamorous gentlemen and celebrities, but also countless beggars and street children.

These beggars They are often controlled by gangs, so be careful.

But he hasn't seen any of them these days.

For this reason, he also went to several "severe disaster areas" mentioned in the intelligence to investigate.

As a result, he was shocked to find that the intelligence was full of messy shacks and thatched houses, which were extremely dirty, with feces and water flowing everywhere, and rags left everywhere.

The slums are completely different.

In front of him was a neat five-story building with bright windows everywhere.

There were lush trees and gardens and lawns on both sides of the road, and the ground was even more clean.

Of course, those beggars and street children who were said to be more numerous than ants were nowhere to be seen.

The local residents all looked rosy-cheeked and looked good, and they looked as if they were well-nourished.

Although the clothes worn by most people were not very good, they were clean and tidy.

He finally found a few pieces of patched clothes, which were also made of the same texture and color of cloth.

It was impossible to tell without looking carefully.

Some of the patches were so symmetrical that he wondered if they were intentional decorations.

He looked at the map again and again and checked with passers-by around him before confirming that he was not looking for the wrong place.

This powerful contrast between reality and legend shocked him greatly.

Those who write travel notes and the military intelligence can't be all talking nonsense, so there is only one possibility, and that is that Shanghai has only become like this in recent years.

So now he asked this question in confusion, why there were no beggars or street children in such a big city.

This is completely illogical.

There are many beggars in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan's most prosperous cities.

Even in the richer European and American powers, this kind of existence is unavoidable.

It's not like he has never been to Europe.

From the previous conversation, I learned that this boss Niu was a native of Shanghai, Yin, and I must know the reason from him.

"Hahahaha" Niu Dachun laughed.

After laughing for a while, Niu Dachun said: "Mr.

Ishihara, if you want to see Beggars and Wanderers, you are already late."

Niu Dachun's Mandarin is not very standard, with a strong Shanghai accent, not even as good as Ishihara's standard.

"Since the founding of New China, local governments have begun to clear out beggars and street children.

These people disappeared a few years ago.

Now you can't see them anywhere in China," Niu Dachun said proudly.

"Oh, how to clean it up?"

Shi Yuan thought and poured another glass of wine for Niu Dachun.

Niu Dachun drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "It's very simple.

Let's talk about street children first.

These children will be screened.

Those who can find their parents and families will be sent back to their own homes.

Those who cannot be found will receive government welfare benefits.

All those who can go to school will be sent to special welfare institutions.

They study together in school until they graduate from junior high school, and then they are sent to vocational schools or high schools based on their performance and expertise.

After that, they are the same as other children.

Therefore, if you want to see the street children in the past, you have to go to orphanages and welfare schools.

That’s fine, you can’t tell them apart on the street, hahahaha.”

"What about the adult beggars?"

"As for adult beggars, of course, it depends on the situation.

Anyone who is willing to work can be assigned a job, whether it is working or farming.

Now in our country, as long as you are willing to work, you can find it anywhere.

Those who really have no ability to work and no relatives to support them, too.

Unified by local welfare homes Raise them, organize them for training, and let them do some work within their capabilities.

As for those who are healthy but are indolent, hey, that is forced labor.

Now we are engaged in construction everywhere in China, and people are needed at mining sites."

Niu Dachun smiled.

"Since they are indolent, will they work hard?"

Ishihara continued to ask.

He poured another full glass of wine for Niu Dachun.

"Yes."

Niu Dachun smiled evilly: "Our government has many ways to deal with this kind of people.

As long as they enter the labor camp, they will definitely become self-reliant workers.

It doesn't matter if they don't change."

"Well, those gangsters in the past, I asked more, and even the beggars are gone.

These people must have entered the labor camp."

"No, they are not in a labor camp, but in a labor camp or a labor camp.

The two are different.

Of course, I don't know much about the specific differences between them."

Talking about Niu Dachun, he had a drink and took a trip.

He said, "Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Ishihara, this sake doesn't taste strong enough.

Let's have some men's drinks.

You don't need to spend any money.

I'll treat you." s: Looking for monthly tickets, recommended tickets and various tickets:
