Chapter 1521: Fermented(1/2)

The teacher Ning Weimin hired for Sun Wufu and the others was named Ryosuke Nakanishi, who was said to be a teacher in a language school, but he was not very old.

He was only twenty-three years old, only one year after graduating from university, and several years younger than Sun Wufu, who was almost thirty years old.

But he is quite interested in Chinese culture. He majored in Chinese at Waseda University, and has traveled at his own expense twice, both during college.

He likes to speak Chinese and likes the four great classics of China. He can talk in broken Chinese, but even among his classmates at Waseda University, he rarely has such opportunities.

Ning Weimin and him first met at the promotion meeting of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

Ryosuke Nakamoto has a very interested and curious about Chinese culture, and he also knows more about "Dream of Red Mansions" than other Japanese people.

Therefore, Ning Weimin left a deep impression at the exchange meeting. At that time, Ning Weimin gave him some extra handicrafts as a small gift, which made him like it very much.

Unexpectedly, this Nakanishi Ryosuke later became a regular visitor to Huiwentang Bookstore because of this TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

Not only did he buy the Japanese version of "Dream of Red Mansions" novels and comic strips in Huiwentang, and a complete set of "Dream of Red Mansions" video tapes, but he also asked the bookstore whether he could buy some Chinese books in mainland China on his behalf.

Therefore, whether it was the store manager Rinko Kagawa or Ning Weimin, he gradually became familiar with this young man.

What Ning Weimin even more noticed was that because the Republic's economy was not developed, people who studied Chinese majors in Japan had a very narrow employment opportunity at this time. In Japan, Chinese is still a minor language.

In addition to going to the institute to do research, you are just to be a translator or a teacher.

So even in this era when graduates from famous Japanese universities have been tried to compete for by major companies, Ryosuke Nakanishi, who graduated from Waseda University, has never found a professional job after graduation.

He was unwilling to give up his major for four years, so he is currently a substitute teacher in a language school.

At the same time, he also worked part-time for Huiwentang Bookstore every night, which could barely ensure the needs of life.

In this way, when he was considering how to help Sun Wufu and the others become familiar with the situation in Japan, Ning Weimin suddenly thought of this young man and thought it was quite appropriate for him to do this job, so he took the initiative to talk about it with Ryosuke Nakanishi.

As expected, Ryosuke Nakanishi was still very satisfied with the monthly reward of 500,000 yen.

In particular, I feel that working hours are only six or seven hours a day, and it depends entirely on my own control. There are no rigid regulations and are relatively free.

And while teaching Japanese, he can also exercise his speaking Chinese, which is very cost-effective, so he agreed at once.

So, with the Japanese teacher, Ryosuke Nakanishi, as the leader, Sun Wufu and the others did not have to feel panic and helpless in a completely unfamiliar environment like headless flies.

As for specific teaching, of course, we must start with the fifty tone diagram.

However, even such simple introductory content is still a bumpy learning for these rough men.

Nothing else, it is because of the low level of education and serious lack of learning experience.

These people are all farmers in rural Hebei. They have poor learning conditions for small families, so it would be good to finish elementary school.

To put it bluntly, I don’t recognize many Chinese characters, and it’s really a bit difficult for them to learn Japanese.

Especially when people reach this age, their learning and understanding are greatly reduced, their brains are not bright enough, and their results appear even less.

In addition, these big men are still a little reluctant to let go. Learning is really learning, but when they should say it, they are embarrassed to speak.

Once someone says it wrong, it will cause laughter.

So in the two-hour class every morning, even if Nakanishi Ryosuke was teaching with great energy, the learning atmosphere was really a problem and the learning progress was extremely slow.

According to Ryosuke Nakanishi, the introductory course that should have ended in one or two weeks may not be able to meet in two months.

This inevitably made him a little anxious and felt a lot of pain in his self-confidence.

Especially I am worried that Ning Weimin would think that he did not teach carefully after he found out.

Fortunately, not all of these Chinese people are so stupid.

Among these people, Sun Wufu is an exception, and his learning progress is much faster than others.

Actually, this is not surprising. It is probably because I have been in the world and have dealt with people from all over the world. Sun Wufu can speak a few words in his dialect in a few words. This is the basic ability to learn language.

Moreover, after getting to know Ning Weimin, Sun Wufu carefully considered the knowledge of antiques, recognized a lot of words, and had rich learning experience.

When he was selling old goods in the Temple of Heaven, he had dealt with many Japanese tourists and had even learned to quote in Japanese.

At this time, I started to think about Japanese, which was exactly the sentence "Accumulate and make a living".

In addition to him, there is also a good student of learning, which is the village chief’s son Liuwu.

This kid has the highest education among these people. He graduated from junior high school and received a formal education. He is already a scholar in the village.

In addition, he has a good brain and a good mouth, especially when he likes to learn from the Japanese in movies and jokes with everyone.

At this time, I started to learn Japanese seriously, which was somewhat helpful.

At least he is not ashamed and dares to say hello. This is much better than most people, so he will naturally lose money when getting started.

In short, thanks to these two students who performed normally, Ryosuke Nakanishi felt a little comforted and did not completely lose the confidence to continue teaching.

To be honest, the unique hospitality and sincerity of Chinese people also touched Ryosuke Shin-Shi.

Many of these people are older than Nakanishi Ryosuke, but at Sun Wufu's request, they really treated him like a teacher. They came to worship the smoke and tea, and called out "teacher" one by one.

At noon, he even took care of the rice. Whether it was cooked by himself or eaten outside, he never asked Nakanishi Ryosuke to pay the bill. He just asked for it himself, but these people didn't allow it.

In the words of Sun Wufu, "We Chinese respect teachers and respect the truth, and there is absolutely no possibility of letting teachers spend money. If you have to get the money, you just look down on us."

Needless to say, for Japanese people who have very clear interpersonal relationships, Ryosuke Nakanishi never thought that he would be suspected of "looking down on others" when paying his own account, which made him quite troubled.

Especially when eating and drinking every meal for nothing, he felt quite embarrassed and felt a sense of pressure.

But I have to say that no matter how unaccustomed you, Nakanishi Ryosuke could feel this kindness and generosity.

So he also bought a box of coffee to treat everyone after the fifth day of free lunch.

When I saw these Chinese people showing joy, it seemed that it was my first time to taste the taste of coffee.

While he was mentally relaxed, he also seemed to feel the special human touch of the Chinese people's way of dating.

Of course, the best way to smooth the spiritual gap between the two sides and pull up the emotions between the two sides is to say that it is verbal communication.

After class every morning, including lunch, it is time for everyone to sit together and speak freely.

Usually when we are relaxed, our status is completely flattened. Whether it is teachers or classmates, we communicate equally, and both parties are talking about daily and interesting topics.

As expected, the spoken Chinese language proficiency of Chinese and Western languages ​​has improved rapidly.

Moreover, he also has many questions about China that have always been puzzled by him.

For example, the Republic's Resident Commission is not a secret service agency similar to the KGB.

The main responsibility of those "little feet detective teams" is not to follow up and follow foreigners who have suspicious words and deeds.

It is an organization equivalent to the Japanese Street Autonomous Association, which is mainly responsible for various maintenance and safety publicity in its own residential areas.

For example, although China grind corn into powder and made ‘weed’ as food for the poor.

However, Empress Dowager Cixi's food called "bumblebee" has nothing to do with simplicity.

The luxury of Queen Mother Citizens life is real. The steamed buns I ate are made of specially made chestnut powder. It is not like the Japanese Empress Dowager Aoxian, who really uses various frugal behaviors.

As mentioned above, it has to be said that whether from the perspective of cultural exchange or understanding a real republic, this kind of exchange is undoubtedly very valuable for Japanese people like Nakanishi Ryosuke.

Of course, on the other hand, Nakanishi Ryosuke also provided Sun Wufu and others with considerable emotional value and practical help.

Not to mention that his problems are enough to make Sun Wufu and others happy to be overwhelmed. Just to facilitate their adaptation to the environment, the various Japanese rules introduced by Nakanishi Ryosuke to them also helped them a lot.

You can’t eat and drink freely in public areas, and you can’t make noises in public places. Don’t doodle in public toilets. You have to shower first and then take a bath when you go to the bathhouse.

To Sun Wufu and the others, they all sounded so incredible.

If it weren't for Nakanishi Ryosuke's telling them, they wouldn't know that they need to pay attention to so many trivial details in life in Japan, and if they don't go out, they will be discouraged.

In addition, when they went out to get familiar with the environment with Ryosuke Nakanishi, they not only understood the prices in Japan, but also distinguished the differences between department stores, supermarkets, specialty stores, cheap stores and convenience stores.

They were also surprised to see that many Japanese people did not use cash, but used magical things like credit cards to pay their bills.

Even soon, even they bought traffic magnetic cards themselves and learned to use them.

Needless to say, this kind of experience gives them a stronger understanding of the development of Japanese society.

That feeling is like the Japanese who saw us Chinese people who scan the QR code on their mobile phones and they didn’t need to make any change at all.

But after all, the most incredible thing they can only evaluate with shock is the industry of Japanese waste recycling.

In fact, when Sun Wufu and the others came to Japan on the first day, they were surprised to find that the Japanese were very strict with garbage classification;

It is strictly enough to clean up the garbage and must be classified into categories before it can be thrown away.

It is so strict that even foreigners will receive a "garbage recycling instruction" no matter where they live.

However, the Japanese are unwilling to engage in "low-end jobs" such as waste recycling, which leads to extremely high cost of disposing of garbage.

People living in Japan not only have to throw garbage according to the date and time, but if they miss it, they have to wait for the next time.

Even items that exceed 30cm on either side are "coarse garbage" and you have to apply to the district.

Then you can only throw it away after buying a label and not discard it at will.

Otherwise, you may be fined for violating relevant laws on garbage cleaning and abandonment.

Special applications are required for large parts for car parts.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese have to spend extra money to throw garbage, and people are used to it.

Moreover, it is true that words are untrue, but seeing is true.
