"Tony, it turns out that Chinese people really have long braids!" Heidi said excitedly to Tangning after getting off the boat.
"Uh, to be precise, all Chinese men have long braids!" Tangning corrected.
"But don't they think it's ugly to have such braids? Or is it a special custom?" Heidi asked inexplicably.
Tangning thought for a while, then replied, "Accurately speaking, this is a government regulation. In fact, this kind of braid is not the ugliest. It is said that Chinese men's braids were even uglier a hundred years ago!"
Heidi shrugged and said, "I really can't understand, but I respect other people's customs!"
The two were talking when suddenly a young man in a long gown came over and asked in broken English, "Sir, do you need a carriage?"
Tangning felt that it was torture to listen to such broken English, so she replied in Mandarin, "Yes, I need to hire a carriage to the Bird Hotel in the British Concession, and I can speak Chinese." British Concession.)
The young man was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Okay sir, I'll go and call you a carriage!"
Originally, Tangning wanted to communicate with the driver on the road, but she was disappointed to find that the driver spoke a dialect that she couldn't understand. It sounded like Shanghainese, but she didn't speak Shanghainese...
After arriving at the hotel, after a short rest, Tangning asked the waiter about the coffee shop of Deanna's friend, not to mention the Charlie's coffee shop, and it was not far away.
So the two walked over, only to find that the store wasn't as big as Deanna had said, and there weren't many customers in the store. If it wasn't for the lack of cameras, Tangning really wanted to capture this scene.
But since everyone came here, they definitely wanted to come in and have a taste. One thing to say, the coffee here is still very authentic Brazilian coffee beans. Tangning was very satisfied with this.
Then he asked the waiter, "Do you usually have more foreigners like me or more Chinese?"
The waiter replied without hesitation: "Of course there are many foreigners like you, and the Chinese hardly drink coffee!"
Just when Tangning was smugly about to ask more questions, she suddenly froze, and then she explained to Heidi hastily, "Wait for me here!" After speaking, she hurried out.
The reason why Tangning was so rude was because he saw a passerby passing by a coffee shop through the window just now, and he actually looked very similar to him. Note that it wasn't the current Tangning, but the Tangning from before!
Fortunately, this man didn't go far. Tangning caught up with him before he ran too far. Then, panting, she asked him, "Sorry sir, I have something I want to ask you for advice!"
This young man who looked exactly like Tangning was stunned when a foreigner stopped him. However, now that his national strength was weakened, especially in a place like the Concession, he didn't dare to offend the foreigners, especially since this foreigner could speak Mandarin. It's not easy, so the young man replied cautiously: "Sir, you, you say it!"
"Excuse me, sir, what's your name?" Tangning asked with a serious expression.
"I, my name is Tang Yunfeng!" The young man replied casually.
Hearing the name "Tang Yunfeng", Tangning secretly thought to herself, "Yunhe, Nine Heavens, Dragons and Four Seas", ah, no, it was "Clouds and Shadows, Changfeng, Mountains and Seas Clear and Bright". Although her name was not a typical character, she was actually a sea character. That Tang Yunfeng, who looks so similar, belongs to the Yunzi generation, but he really can't remember who the elders of his great-grandfather's generation are and what their names are...
But just to be cautious, I asked again: "Sir, is your hometown Yanggu, Shandong?"
"How, how do you know?" Tang Yunfeng took a step back and couldn't help exclaiming.
"Uh, that's right, I know a friend who looks very similar to you, almost exactly the same, and like you, the word in the middle of his name is also a cloud. According to him, this is the name of your Chinese family. Culture represents inheritance, that's why I ran up to you out of curiosity, please forgive me for my presumptuousness!" Tangning said nonsense.
But Tang Yunfeng can still accept this explanation: "Oh, that's what happened, you're right, we Chinese people have the same character in the name of a family and a generation, all according to the requirements of the family tree. So, you can clearly know who is from which generation by name! Um, sir, what is the name of your friend?"
"Tang Yunning!" Tangning reluctantly raised her seniority by several layers...
"Tang Yunning!" Tang Yunfeng repeated several times, then shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry I don't know each other, but they may be distant relatives. These years have been difficult, so the children of our Tang family are scattered!"
Originally, Tangning was still worried about how to explain~www.novelbuddy.com~ Now that Tang Yunfeng came to terms with herself, she was very happy, so she nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Tang, what are you doing now? ?"
"Oh, I work in the public management bureau in the French Concession. This year, I am sending a document to the Ministry of Industry Bureau!" Tang Yunfeng replied.
Tangning knew that the public board of directors in Tang Yunfeng's mouth was equivalent to the government of the French Concession, and the corresponding Ministry of Industry Bureau was equivalent to the government of the British and American concessions. I never imagined that there would be people in the public board of directors among my ancestors. You must know that before liberation People who can work in places like the Public Board of Directors and the Ministry of Industry are not easy, and the treatment is quite good. It's just that Tangning didn't understand, since she had such a powerful ancestor, why did her grandfather and father get along so badly?
Originally, Tangning wanted to help her ancestors, but now it didn't seem necessary, so she took out a business card and wrote the hotel room number on the back, handed it to Tang Yunfeng and said, "Mr. Tang, I am very happy today. I can get to know you, but seeing that you are still busy with work, you are welcome to come and chat with me and have coffee when you have time!"
"Okay, Mr. Tangning, I will definitely come to visit you another day!" Tang Yunfeng replied respectfully as he took the business card with both hands.
Tangning originally thought that Tang Yunfeng might come to visit immediately that night, or that she might not dare to come because she was frightened by her presumptuousness today, but she never imagined that she would learn the bad news of him two days later... ..
PS: If you may offend the readers, I really think that writing two or three hundred chapters is the most suitable length for most novels, because once this length is exceeded, many plot copies will start to repeat and routines, including many openings that are eye-catching. Bright novel
