Chapter 699 Liverpool Travel Notes

? "Uncle Costa, can I ask you what's the matter with the boss? If I can solve it, maybe we don't need to contact the boss."

Recosta pursed his lips, as if some words were hard to say, don't look at him now in the city council, he represents the black group, has the supreme right to speak, but the real situation is just the opposite, embarrassing , is synonymous with where he is today.

Because he can't go up or down, he can't go up or down, and there are more than a dozen colleagues around him, including compatriots with the same skin color as him, so he must make plans early, or seize every opportunity to go up. Give it a go, or put away your ambitions, and work until retirement with peace of mind, without fighting or grabbing.

But obviously, he has no great interest in caring for his life, otherwise he wouldn't have found his nephews.

After thinking about it for a while, I still didn't know how to speak, so I fell silent for a while.

At this time, two tourists with the same skin color and face as Yang Cheng at a nearby table caught Ian Ayer's attention. Of course, it was also because of the distressed looks on their faces that they seemed to be in desperate need of help.

Seeing that Recosta hadn't spoken for a long time, Ian Al went up to greet him and asked with a strong Liverpool accent, "Are you two from country Z? Do you need help?"

These two tourists are indeed from country Z, and they are both die-hard fans of the Red Army. This time, they deliberately took advantage of the holiday to make a pilgrimage to Anfield. Unexpectedly, just after they came out of the London airport, their wallets and documents were swept away by thieves. Fortunately, one of them still had about 100 pounds temporarily changed at the airport in his pocket, and finally helped them take the bus from the airport to Liverpool.

But when they got here, they realized that they were depressed. The 100 pounds was not enough for two adults to live in Liverpool for a week. The key was that they had to go to the embassy to reissue their passports. Undoubtedly, this trip made them experience the evil of the capital world.

As a Liverpool native, the communication with Recosta just now naturally used the local dialect. The complaints about the Liverpool accent are the most popular topics for British people. Scottish accent, but in Liverpool you will find yourself deaf, not to mention outsiders, even British locals can hardly understand Liverpool accent, as if you are in a foreign country.

Liverpool's unique accent was formed from the Irish Famine in the middle of the 19th century. That disaster brought a large number of Irish refugees to the city. Coupled with the Scots who arrived at the same time, under the influence of Gaelic, it developed into a very difficult language today. Habitual Liverpool accent.

Immediately afterwards, more immigrants engulfed the locals and continued to go to the New World to find a livelihood. During the century from 1830 to 1930, a total of 9 million people took the large ferry of Cunard and White Star Company here, saying goodbye to Europe and shaping their shape. The subsequent population structure of North America.

In short, these two tourists from country Z, their English level is at the level of university level 6, and they can barely communicate in spoken language, but facing the Liverpool accent that the British are so confused, they can only offer awkward but polite smiles .

When the three of them looked at each other, Recosta stepped forward and jokingly reminded, "Ian, I can't even understand your Liverpool accent."

Ian Al patted his forehead, and gave a very exaggerated gentleman's salute, "I'm very sorry to the two guests from afar, please forgive my mistakes, if there is anything I can do to help you, it will be my honor."

Where have the two people from country Z seen such a big battle before? They quickly stood up and bowed in return. Thanks, but our wallet was stolen in London with our passports in it and now we don't know what to do.

"

Ian Ayre and Recosta smiled at each other, and complained very contemptuously, "Please forgive the rudeness of the Londoners. In order to pretend to be an international metropolis, London has introduced a large number of immigrants, which has led to a rapid decline in the security environment. How about In this way, I will take you around the sights in Liverpool first, and I will help you settle down later, and we can solve the problem little by little, such as contacting the consulate of your country and re-applying for your documents."

After he deliberately took care of slowing down his speech, the two young Z people understood most of the meaning. For the two people who fell into the water, Ian Al's appearance was undoubtedly like a life-saving straw. Regardless of whether there is danger or not, catch them first. Don't let yourself drown.

After thanking you again and again, Ian El waved his hand with a smile, turned his head and said to Recosta, "Ray, I have a job. Let's talk about your matter after you think it over."

Recosta grabbed Ian Al's arm, "Ian, I also need your help, please help me contact your boss, I have something very important to talk to him about."

In fact, just now Ian El took the initiative to contact the two young people and offered to help. I don't know what kind of mentality it is, maybe because he feels the same skin color as the boss and feels kind? Maybe it was moved with compassion? Or simply want to avoid Recosta?

He couldn't say for sure, but now that Recosta said the matter so solemnly, he couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly nodded, "Uncle Costa, I will tell the boss about this, but will he see you?" You are not up to me to decide."

After finishing speaking, without giving Recosta a chance to continue entanglement, he waved at the two young men, and the three walked out of the coffee shop, and got into his black Land Rover at the invitation of Ian Al.

The Land Rover started steadily, and Ian Ayre heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the two stiff young men in the rearview mirror, he showed his most friendly smile and asked, "You two, my name is Ian Ayer." Er, I work for Liverpool Club, you can call me Ian, I don't know how I should address you?"

The two young men were overjoyed when they heard this. The big man who had not spoken before waved his fist and said happily, "Ian, you work in Liverpool? It's great. We came to Liverpool this time to visit Anfield. By the way, you can call me young, this is my friend liu."

Ian Al was happier than the two of them. Nothing could make him happier than accidentally bumping into Liverpool fans, "liu? young? You are indeed from country Z. On behalf of the club, I welcome guests from the Far East Liverpool, the capital of Merseyside, is not only the fourth largest city in the UK, but also has the oldest Chinatown in Europe because the trade with the ancient country Z can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty.”

Ian's enthusiasm made the two young people feel the charm of Liverpool. While thanking them repeatedly, they asked, "Ian, why did you take the initiative to help us? Is it because your boss is Chinese?"

It was the big young man who asked the question. After the initial unfamiliarity, Ian Al worked in the club and let him find a sense of belonging. At this time, he slowly opened up the conversation.

Ian Al didn't hesitate, and nodded simply, "Yes, I feel that you may be compatriots with my boss, if I let him know that I see his compatriots encounter difficulties and ignore them, I'm afraid I will be fired .”

The two laughed, and then, Ian Ayre entered the role of a tour guide while driving out, pointing to the river bank scenery not far away and introduced, "This is the most important landscape in Liverpool today-the Albert Dock, but it includes the dock The Royal Liverpool Building, the Cunard Shipping Company Building, and the Liverpool Port Building, known as the "Three Graces", all sprang up with the regular flow of people and freight after the slave trade was banned.

If you are interested, you can go to the Merseyside Maritime Museum at the Albert Dock, where there are details and interactions that fully tell the story from the immigration wave to the Titanic, from the two world wars to the decline of the port .

But I have heard those stories since I was a child. Have you seen that huge poster? As early as the beginning of the 20th century, as passenger ships gradually became an affordable travel carrier, in the American Dream immigrant posters, there also appeared adverts for sightseeing and investigation in the third world. Behind the skirt scenery paintings, there are also 100,000 unfortunate childhoods hidden. From 1869 to 1967, they were forced to leave Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries from orphanages, child factories and even the homes of cruel but poor parents. children.

In the anxious state of World War I, the German embassy published a statement in an American newspaper, saying that the safety of any American passenger on a merchant ship flying the British flag would not be guaranteed, but perhaps it was because of the confidence that the speed was fast enough, or Thinking that the Germans dare not mess around, a large number of American passengers on the Royal Cruise Line Lusitania did not take the warning seriously.

But when the cruise ship sailed off the coast of Ireland, the two torpedoes launched by the German U20 submarine fulfilled the promise, killing a total of 1,198 people and becoming the fuse for the United States to enter World War I.

The news of the attack on civilian traffic caused anger to explode in Liverpool, where there were many families of the dead and injured. The shops of German expatriates were the first to suffer, and the dry cleaners in the earliest Chinese community in Europe were also unlucky. The roles and stories of Liverpool in the two world wars, It is also the most important part of the Maritime Museum. Following the launch of the Lusitania, the posters you see now are what every tourist who comes to Liverpool needs to know. "

Speaking of this, Ian Ayre seemed to recall the scene of his father carrying him on his shoulders and telling him about this sad history in front of the museum when he was a child. He couldn't help feeling a little sad, so he stopped the car and motioned to the two young people Walk to the front of the museum together.

The two young people are very sensible. In fact, they can empathize with Ian Ayer's grief. As people of country Z in the new era, they must not forget the humiliating but glorious history of the War of Resistance in the past.
