    Maupassant touched his belly, which was already round and round. He was obviously very full.  ¡ù% Top ¡ù% Point ¡ù% Xiao ¡ù% said, 2+3wx Westerners like them have never eaten such delicious food just now, and it can be provided in unlimited quantities, which makes them extremely happy.  Since it is provided in unlimited quantities, they are not polite and just eat it in big mouthfuls, as if they want to swallow their own tongues.  When those Tang Dynasty officials who ate with them saw them like this, they also took the initiative to leave their side, obviously meaning that they were not the same as them.  "Who are these guys? Why are they like reincarnations of starving ghosts? Which country are they envoys from?" Someone immediately commented.  "No, they are not envoys. They are people from Tongwenguan hired by the imperial court to translate Western classics. This was also proposed by Mr. Jingwen to translate Western classics, so Westerners who are proficient in our Chinese language are hired to come here to translate. They will also be considered in the future.  We are half colleagues," said another.  "Are they in the West very poor? How come they are so rude even when they are eating?" someone asked curiously.  "Maybe! If they weren't very poor, how could they be so "ferocious" even at work? If they really ordered regular dishes in the daily diet, who knows what they would be like?" someone said with disdain.  And Westerners like Maupassant had no idea that they were despised by Chinese officials, but they were extremely happy that they could eat good food that these Western nobles could not eat.  They cannot eat these things in the West, let alone afford them.  But now I can actually eat it casually, which is really exciting.  "Old Mo, what were you hiding just now? You should know that this is a buffet and cannot be taken away!" Jing Wen asked with a laugh.  "Well, I want to leave some for my daughter. My daughter has never eaten such delicious food since she was a child. So" Maupassant said a little embarrassed.  "Hahahaha, if that's the case, then I'll treat you and your daughter to a meal at my restaurant tonight!" Jing Wen said.  "Thank you, sir!" Maupassant said.  Next, everyone rests for about half an hour, which means they will start working in about an hour.  "My lords, afternoon tea has been delivered!" the eunuch said.  And the eunuchs brought teapots one by one to make tea for everyone.  This is also one of the benefits of working in the palace. You can have tea provided by Jingwen for tea tasting.  When those Westerners saw that everyone had this tea tasting experience, they were immediately shocked.  "Oh my god! This is tea, there are so many tea leaves!" "Yes! Anyone can taste tea. This is so surprising!" "Why is it so wasteful? There are several taels of tea leaves in a pot of tea.  "" These Westerners were immediately shocked. They must know that at this time, even the worst tea leaves could be exchanged for the same weight of silver in the West.  If it is high-end tea, the price is unparalleled.  At this time in the West, only middle-class and above-average nobles could afford tea.  And they only drink tea a little at a time. Unlike the palace here, there are actually several taels of tea leaves in a pot at a time.  And there are thousands of people in this palace.  Everyone can drink tea, and the amount of tea consumed is more than ten kilograms per day.  This immediately shocked these Westerners, who drank at least ten kilograms of silver every day.  These tea leaves are obviously not ordinary goods, and they can obviously see that these tea leaves are high-end.  Much better than those in the West.  The price is immeasurable, so these Westerners were also shocked, feeling that it was too luxurious.  ¡°A bunch of Western rubes!¡± someone cursed in a low voice.  When these guys saw the tea, they all started drinking it.  This situation.  It was even worse than the way Ashina Yun and his two men drank tea back then. It was obvious that they all wanted to take advantage as soon as possible.  Anyway, everyone has this idea of ??taking advantage.  Even Westerners have it.  Since only such nobles can afford tea here for free, they naturally want to drink tea as soon as possible, otherwise they will waste a lot.  It is soon afternoon. These Westerners have been busy at work for a day and can finally get off work.  "Hey, life here is so good!" Maupassant said.  And another Westerner also said: "Yes! The life here is so good, it is like paradise. I don't want to go back! If I can do this for the rest of my life, of course it will be great." Everyone also began to be silent  Yes, they are now employed by Datang, so they can enjoy so many benefits.  But once the five-year employment contract expires,Once it ends, it means ending this life.  And Datang gives them very good treatment, both in terms of wages and benefits, and the benefits of this kind of work are much better.  So for them to be able to work here is like becoming a great nobleman in the West.  ¡°If they were asked to go back to the West to live the kind of life they had in the past, I¡¯m afraid they wouldn¡¯t be able to accept it.  After all, this is the principle of transitioning from frugality to luxury. They have only lived this kind of life for a day, so they have all begun to "have sex".  If one day such a good life is deprived of them, they will really go crazy.  "If I do well, can I sign with Datang again in five years?" someone said immediately.  "Yes!" Everyone began to wonder, if they can do well, will they be able to continue to sign contracts with the Tang government in five years, so that they can continue to enjoy this kind of benefits?  Such a good life is what everyone wants, so they have become dependent on the excellent living conditions here and no longer want to go back.  These Westerners have no idea of ??leaving their homeland. They all want to pursue a better life.  And that they were able to travel thousands of miles to the East to hunt for gold is enough to show their courage.  If the Tang Dynasty can give them a better life, then what can't they do in the East all their lives?  Anyway, these guys are all people who have breasts and are mothers. They are willing to accept anyone who provides them with a good life and good treatment.  This is not surprising. Even among Chinese people, many people have this idea, and they will follow whoever gives them wealth.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
