After Lin Guohua said a brief goodbye to Mustache, he bought a train ticket to Stuttgart. It must be said that Lin Guohua in this life is an orphan who inherited huge assets.
In order to avoid others coveting his property, he sold his property from China and went to Germany to study. Therefore, a train ticket was nothing to Lin Guohua. Fortunately, his property was not converted into marks, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Lin Guohua hated the trains of this era. Even though Lin Guohua of Germany, which is famous for its industry, wandered on the road for about 6 hours, it was already dusk by the time he arrived in Stuttgart. Lin Guohua could only find a hotel to rest temporarily.
The hotel was a bit old, but relatively clean. Lin Guohua walked to the front desk. At the front desk was a Latina girl who looked about 20 years old. The girl's skin was a healthy wheat color, which was somewhat different from the white skin that is now mainstream in Europe. She had her hair combed up high and in a bun. She might not even have a particularly good-looking appearance, but her unique temperament made Lin Guohua feel like his heart skipped a beat.
Lin Guohua calmed down first, then stepped forward and said, "Hello, please help me get a room."
"There's just one room left. We don't accept marks here. U.S. dollars, francs, and pounds are all accepted. The U.S. dollar costs 50 cents, the franc 2.5 francs, and the pound sterling 10 shillings." After that, he took out a handful from the drawer at the front desk. key. (In 1920, 1 pound = 5 US dollars = 25 francs, 1 US dollar = 100 cents, and 1 pound was equal to 20 shillings)
Upon seeing this, Lin Guohua took out two 10-shilling coins from his pocket and handed them to the girl. The girl took the coins and handed the keys to Lin Guohua.
Lin Guohua followed the room number on the key to find the room and opened the door. The room was not as old as the outside. He did not expect that the furniture was similar to that of a modern hotel. Except for the absence of those electrical appliances, it could be said to be fully equipped. Lin Guohua was very satisfied.
Putting down his suitcase, hat and coat, Lin Guohua finally relieved himself of some fatigue. He originally planned to lie down on the bed and sleep, but his stomach growled unsatisfactorily, so Lin Guohua had no choice but to put on his coat again and go out to look for food.
After walking out of the room, he saw the girl at the front desk trying to walk out of the front desk. Lin Guohua approached her and said, "Hello, may I ask where there is a place to eat?"
The girl at the front desk looked at Lin Guohua and said, "I just have to change my shift. I'll take you there."
The girl at the front desk led Lin Guohua to the room closest to the front desk. When he reached the door, the door was opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was a tall man with a height of two meters. The man at the front desk was a little unhappy when he saw the girl running out of the front desk in advance. : "Panan, didn't I tell you that you have to wait for the replacement person to arrive at the post before you come out?"
"What's the difference? The dining room is so close to the front desk, so there won't be any problems at all." The girl named Panan retorted.
Only then did the big man notice Lin Guohua behind Panan, and then looked Lin Guohua up and down: "Chinese?" Then he said in an unsatisfactory tone like an old father talking to his daughter: "This young man looks good, Panan, don't scare others." Ran."
"Fuck you, Thor, take care of yourself, old virgin!" Panan retorted loudly, as if something had been exposed.
"Okay, let's go eat. Scorpion roasted the pork knuckle." After that, he patted Lin Guohua's shoulder and whispered: "Listen, kid, if you just want to play with Panan's feelings and get close to Panan, get out of here." , if you can treat Panan well for a lifetime, then we will be family."
This paragraph made Lin Guohua a little confused, why he didn't say anything, but others seemed to know what he was thinking.
Lin Guohua himself must be blamed for this. As long as he saw Panan, his eyes never left Panan's body. Sol, who was hiding behind the dining room door, had been observing for a while.
And based on Sol's understanding of Panan, Panan generally would not bring an unknown man into their lives at will.
Panan was a little embarrassed, and his mind was exposed, but he still took Lin Guohua into the dining room.
There were two middle-aged men inside, each with an arm broken off. One of the middle-aged men saw Panan coming in and said, "Panan, come on, we roasted the pork knuckle today, and Mickey's sauerkraut has just been soaked. Eat it." I’ve been making bread for a few days, so let’s try a new flavor today.”
"Thanks Scorpion, by the way prepare an extra dinner." Panan said to the middle-aged man who spoke.
"Okay, no problem." Scorpion used his only hand to take out a set of knives, forks and a plate from the cabinet.
Lin Guohua said thank you to Xie Zi, and Xie Zi waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter. Lin Guohua sat carefully on the dining room table.
Scorpion and another middle-aged man who should be named Mitch brought the roasted pork knuckle to the table. The pork knuckle was roasted to a beautiful Maillard color. The aroma of the meat filled the entire dining room the moment it was brought out. . Lin Guohua's already hungry stomach growled unconsciously.
The two middle-aged men laughed and said, "Young man is hungry just by looking at it. Eat quickly."
When Lin Guohua heard that it was ready to eat, he immediately put a large pile of sauerkraut on the plate, then cut a piece of skin-on meat from the big pig's knuckle with a knife, and ate it with the sauerkraut. Lin Guohua's eating style aroused the appetites of several other people, and soon the originally lively atmosphere became lively.
"Young man, I still don't know your name? Are you from China?" Xie Zi asked Lin Guohua.
"My name is Lin Guohua. Of course, you can also call me my German name, Johann Schmidt. I am from China. I am currently a master's student at the Vienna Academy of Arts and will soon graduate." Lin Guohua swallowed the meat in his mouth before making his own statement. introduce.
"Oh! As far as I know, most Chinese people go abroad to study finance-related majors. I didn't expect you to study art." Mitch was a little surprised.
Lin Guohua rubbed the back of his head and said with embarrassment, "I fled to Germany on my own. Some people in China are eyeing my parents' inheritance. I had no choice but to leave China, but I will go back sooner or later." Lin Guohua said as he spoke. Became determined again. "Just said that, what's going on with you?"
"In the last war, Mitch and I each lost an arm. At that time, the artillery shell exploded not far from us. The shrapnel from the artillery shell almost filled both of our arms. Fortunately, Sol brought us with him at that time. Panan, who was only 14 years old, pulled the two of us out of the position. In this way, each of us lost an arm, but at least our lives were saved.
I remember that we were in the Carpathian Mountains, and our squad leader Rommel led us to capture 9,000 enemies. I really miss him. "Scorpion is a little nostalgic for them back then.
Although the experiences of Scorpion, Mitch, Panan and Sol are a bit legendary, what concerns Lin Guohua the most is Rommel. Lin Guohua’s biggest goal when he comes here is Rommel. He needs to get in touch with Rommel, this kind of future Germany. High-level people are still very suitable for burning cold stoves, especially when the other party is forgotten.
"Scorpion, who do you think your captain is? Is it Rommel? Rommel who is currently the company commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment stationed in Stuttgart?" Lin Guohua said, pretending to be a little excited.
"Oh, calm down Lin, that's right, it's Rommel. The purpose of your coming to Stuttgart is to see him?" Scorpion asked Lin Guohua to calm down.
"It seems I found the right person. Thank you very much, Xie Zi!" Lin Guohua thanked Xie Zi.
After Lin Guohua thanked Scorpion, he asked Panan in a strange way: "Beautiful girl, can I invite you to go for a walk together?"
Anyway, Lin Guohua didn't know how he could say this after he came out with Panan, and Panan didn't know how he agreed. The two of them walked awkwardly on the streets of Stuttgart.
When the two were walking on a street bench, Lin Guohua broke the awkwardness and asked, "After walking for so long, let's sit down and rest for a while?"
Panan sat down directly after humming, and Lin Guohua did the same. The two sat like this for a long time until Panan said, "Lin, do you like me?"
Lin Guohua didn't respond, so Panan said again with a big red face: "Lin, do you like me?"
Lin Guohua came to his senses, and then put on a very serious face and said: "Panan, you know, I don't know why my eyes were attracted to you the first time I entered the hotel. I don't know why I didn't realize it." I want to be close to you. You asked me if I like you? My answer is yes." Lin Guohua's serious face gradually turned tender.
When Lin Guohua said he liked him, Panan hugged him directly. So under the dim street lights, the two strangers found each other in the future.
