Rebirth of India: Superior

After some careful understanding, Shakru generally understood the local disaster relief process. First, local officials reported it, then the Indian central government allocated money, and then the officials were all corrupt (100% corruption, not a penny was left) Finally, officials at all levels will give Mr. Wyas a portion of the benefits, and finally, Mr. Wyas will give the money to the victims. . . . . . . Many times the money is not enough and he has to come up with some more money himself. ?Actually, he didn’t have to take out this money. He took it out just because he couldn’t bear to see the disaster like this.

Of course, there must be elements of San Yi's boasting in these words, but in general it should be the same. Although a big landowner like him has great power in the local area and is basically like a local emperor, he still has obligations. Yes, that is to maintain the stability of this village. Otherwise, if all the farmers are dead, who will work for him? In addition, he also has to teach farmers new planting techniques, and occasionally has to serve as a judge to handle village affairs. Matters between women are handled by Mrs. Sanyi. Of course, they are in charge of their own farmers, while the untouchables are loosely managed by witches.

After chatting for a while, it was lunch time unknowingly. Although he was a little hungry after working hard all morning, when Shaklu saw the cardamom water that was served, he immediately lost his appetite. This cardamom water is not for use. It is for eating, but for washing hands. However, according to Indian rules, as long as cardamom water is served on the table, it means This means that this meal must be eaten with hands. Although Shakru has been in India for more than half a year, he is still very uncomfortable with eating with hands. Not only does he feel that this way of eating is unhygienic, but also He was not used to the position where he could only use his right hand and his left hand must be placed on his knees. He always felt that his left and right hands were uncoordinated. (The left hand of Indians is used for eating, so you should never use your left hand when eating in front of Indians.)

Due to this situation, Shakru ate a little and excused himself saying that he was a little tired today and wanted to go back to the room to sleep. After a while, Sulan came in to clean up the house, and Shakru asked her to boil some hot water for herself. , when Sulan came back with boiling water, she started to make noodles by herself. This was not because Shaklu was diligent, but because the little girl Sulan had never seen instant noodles before. When he was brewing, she was still curious. Asked: "Dear Mr. Pandit, what are you doing?"

Shakru said while busy: "Oh, this is instant noodles, which are very easy to make noodles. Just soak them in hot water and you can eat them in three minutes. Well, I wasn't too full just now, so I want to eat more. Put some noodles on the bowl. By the way, don’t tell Mr. and Mrs. Sanyi about this. , otherwise it would be too impolite." Shakru had been prepared for this before he came here. He knew that he was not used to Indian food, so he prepared a lot of convenience food, but this kind of thing must not be allowed to Sang. Yi knows that it hurts people to be so picky when people are so enthusiastic.

Unexpectedly, Sulan blamed herself and said, "This is all Sulan's fault. Mr. Pandit, you must have left some leftovers for Sulan, so you didn't have a full stomach."

Shaklu said in a dumbfounded way: "This is nothing. I don't have enough food because I don't like finger food. It has nothing to do with you. By the way, were you full just now? Do you want to try this Chinese food?" Samadhi instant noodles are delicious!” (To make a complaint, instant noodles with a Chinese name are actually Japanese products, which is really speechless.)

Su Lan waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, Su Lan can't eat such expensive things." She said this, but she couldn't help but secretly twitch her little nose to smell the aroma of instant noodles.

Seeing her like this, Shakru felt very funny, so he also gave her a bowl, pushed it in front of her and said, "Now I order you to eat it."

After watching Sulan devouring a bowl of noodles, Shaklu asked in a funny way: "How is it, little Sulan, is this instant noodles delicious?"

Su Lan nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious. It's delicious. So the noodles are so delicious when they are soft!" Then she frowned and said, "But I don't know why, but it doesn't taste as good as the smell." fragrant."

Shakru thought to himself, that's for sure, that's what instant noodles are like. If one person makes a bowl of noodles, the aroma can arouse the appetite of everyone in the dormitory, but in fact, eating it in the mouth is just that. (To popularize science, India only has fried noodles and no soup noodles. According to my irresponsible speculation, this is because they don’t know how to use chopsticks, and the soup noodles can’t be grabbed with hands or spooned, so they can’t eat them if they don’t know how to eat them. Will do it.)

At this time, Shakru thought of another thing, and then asked casually: "By the way, Sulan, why don't you go to school when you are so young and come here to be a maid?"

"I also want to go to school, but my family has no money."

“Aren’t there public schools where you can go to school for free?”

"Tuition is free, but accommodation, meals and other expenses also cost money."

"Then you come out to serve people as a maid, are your parents willing to do it?"

Unexpectedly, Sulan was very surprised and asked: "Why are you reluctant? It's an honor for me to be able to work as a maid in Mr. Wyas's house. Not only can I have enough food and clothing, and earn money to save my dowry, but also because I come from a master’s family, so no one dares to bully me when I get married.”

"No, you still have to save a dowry for yourself?" Shakru asked in disbelief.

Su Lan sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. We have three girls in our family, so it is impossible to save enough dowry for each daughter. Fortunately, Mrs. Sanyi took pity on my family and took me in as a maid. Otherwise, I would have to be sent to the temple to be a goddess." (In India, a girl's dowry can almost empty the savings of an ordinary family, because without enough dowry, no man will marry you. The poorer the place, the more so. This is almost the same as marrying a daughter-in-law in rural China.)

This time Shakru was even more shocked: "No way, there are goddesses here too?"

Su Lan nodded and said, "Yes, there are more than ten in the temple at the entrance of the village, but most of them are untouchable girls. There are very few Shudra girls. Mr. Pandit, are you going to find them?"

Shakru waved his hands and said, "No, no, I don't mean to find them. I'm not that kind of person!" Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
