Chapter 30: The New Year's Eve of Nord

On the evening of February 15, 1981, the Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.

PS: Thank you to the bookworm for your reward. I updated it tonight, sorry!

For Chinese workers living in the Principality of Nord, they have longings in happiness. Happiness is because they are very satisfied with their life at this time. Even if they are not as good as true Nord citizens, they are much better than before. Missings are undoubtedly missing their hometown.

Fortunately, these people are all from the villagers and there is no ethnic discrimination here. On the contrary, Nord citizens also like these Chinese workers very much, so they are not alone.

Joseph was wearing a casual gray sweatshirt, and there was only one Joanna following him walking on the street. Of course, this was not the case. There were no less than thirty guards in the secret guards.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

The little girl's crisp voice made Joseph feel very comfortable. He looked over the white and tender fingers, and the familiar red fruit was exposed in front of him, and he smiled slightly and headed towards the vendor holding the fruit.

"Selling candied haws! Sour and sweet candied haws."

As he approached, the hawker's shouts reached Joseph's ears. Looking at Joanna's puzzled gaze, Joseph translated the hawker's shouts to her, but who would have thought that Joanna became more and more confused after hearing this.

"What is candied haws? And what he said is wrong. What can be sour and sweet. Aren't they two flavors?"

Joanna's inquiry did not answer, but walked to the candied haw vendor and said, "Boss, two strings!"

The other party obviously did not know Joseph, but this is normal. At this time, the Principality of Nord was not a small country with a population of two thousand. Although the population was still small, the number of nearly 30,000 was enough to ensure that not everyone knew Joseph, the grand duke of the Principality of Nord. Of course, there was another reason, that is, in the eyes of Easterners, the Western faces were not much different, even if Joseph was mixed with Chinese and Western.

The fluent Chinese obviously stunned the vendor, but soon he realized that he picked two strings of candied haws and handed them to Joseph, and said, "This guy speaks authentic Chinese, you also have Chinese ancestry!"

It was obvious that the other party saw Joseph's dark eyes, nodded without saying anything, which was to admit the hawker's words, and then took Joanna away. There were many people on the street, dancing dragons and lions, and the streets were bustling.

"Ah! It's really sour and sweet, this is hawthorn!"

Joanna's slowness made Joseph smile helplessly, ignored it and continued to walk deep into the street, while Joanna kept muttering in Joseph's ear while eating.

"This industrial area is actually more lively than the Beicheng District. I had known that I would have come to Beicheng District to have fun when I had rested. Your Highness, look there, look there, someone is spitting out fire!"

The Chinese workers in the Principal of Nord all came from the countryside because they retained a lot of traditional customs, such as dancing dragons, lions, and juggling drums during the Chinese New Year, which made Joanna, who had never seen the world, kept shouting and shouting.

After careful observation, Joseph found that there were many Westerners here. They were also excited to look at the jugglers in the center of the venue. The Chinese workers treated them equally. The relationship between the two sides was very good. Joseph was very satisfied with this scene. After all, nothing is more important than the stability of a country.

With the increasing number of Chinese workers, the Nancheng District (industrial zone) has begun to be unable to accommodate them. However, at this time, the central area has not been built yet. Many Chinese workers live in workshops or tents. After all, this is not a long-term solution. A trace of sorrow cannot help but a trace of worry emerges.

"Your Highness, Your Highness? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, keep going!"

Seeing that Joseph had no intention of leaving, Joanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She finally came out for a while and didn't want to go back so early.

Fuxiang Building, glanced at the shops on one side and swept the terrain casually. Joseph felt that he could completely overview the entire street of the Chinese Workers' Living Area on it, so he walked inside.

Compared with Chinese restaurants in Beicheng District, the restaurants here are truly formal. As soon as you enter the door and smell the fragrance of the stir-fry, Joseph knew that even if Chinese restaurants have architectural bonuses, they could not cook such delicious food.

"Monsieur, s'ilvouspla?t!" (Sir, please!)

Perhaps because most citizens of the Principality of Nord speak French, these Chinese workers who have just arrived can even say a few words. At least the waiters in the restaurant say this very fluently.

China is not only the workers, but some have become Nord citizens through morality. For example, this restaurant must be one of the Nord citizens.

"It's right in French, but the Principality of Nord will be the mainstream in the future. You should let them learn how to adapt to you."

Half of Joseph's bloodline is Chinese, so even if the official language in the future is designated as Chinese, it is completely reasonable. Of course, Joseph will not do this because this is Europe, and there is no need for him to offend European countries because of the official language. However, it is inevitable that Chinese will be the core of the civilians in the future.

Joseph's words made the waiter stunned. Before he could react, Joseph had already entered the door. The boss at the counter saw Joseph hurriedly coming out. It doesn't mean he doesn't know Joseph.

As soon as he saw the boss's actions, Joseph understood that the other party recognized him. Although he did not know the middle-aged Chinese boss, it did not hinder Joseph's guess.

"No need to be polite. Isn't the business very good today?" Looking around, everyone was full of Western guests and there were almost no Chinese workers, so Joseph said this.

"Today is New Year's Eve! Most people eat dumplings at home. What do you want to eat?"

After all, the restaurant owner had never seen Joseph's serious side. He was so gentle as soon as he entered the door. In addition, he was just a nine-year-old child. The boss naturally dared to speak casually without awe.

"I'll eat dumplings too! Joanna, what do you eat?"

"What are dumplings? Are they delicious?"

"Two plates of dumplings!"

Too lazy to answer such a question, Joseph directly helped Joanna to set her food, which made Joanna very unhappy. She muttered in her heart that His Highness had no gentlemanly at all. If she had known it, she would have looked at the menu!

Joseph didn't know the little girl's inner complaints. After going up to the second floor, dozens of guards blocked the crossings, and a guard even came to the kitchen to monitor the chef cooking dumplings. Where did the chef see such a situation? When he put the dumplings, he almost burned himself. At the same time, he was thinking about the stories of the imperial chefs he had heard from ancient times.

He naturally didn't know that the Western traditions were different from those in the East. Even if the chef did something wrong, he would not be killed at most and would be driven away. Of course, poisoning did not count.

Looking down on the street on the second floor is naturally much better than watching it on the street. At least after Joanna went upstairs, she only focused on watching the fun and forgot her complaints just now.

Soon two plates of dumplings and small plates of vinegar were served, and there were two nights of dumpling soup. Before the boss could tell the effect of the dumpling soup, Joseph had already smiled and explained it to Joanna.

"It also has the effect of digesting the stomach and intestines?"

Joanna asked Joseph in a bit of incredible way, after all, in her eyes, this is the rest of the dumplings! How could it have this effect?

"There is a saying in the East that the original soup is transformed into original food, and this is the reason for this dumpling soup."

"Doesn't that mean it can only help the dumplings digest, and other things don't work?"

Joseph also knew that his words were not credible, but he still reluctantly explained: "It's theoretically." He thought Joanna would continue to ask, but who thought: "God! So magical!"
