Where is the 21st Century?

英译小说:

"Who would be watching? Who would dare to laugh? No one here knows you. Besides, can you still walk? We have five or six more street corners to reach Fu Hai Building." Despite being a young master, there might not be anyone here who recognizes her, but everyone recognizes him.

"Well, that's true. However, I plan to do business in town frequently, so they will get to know me."

"Who would dare to laugh at the distinguished master of Fu Hai Building? Everyone will be rushing to flatter you. Just lie down quietly and stop twisting around. Be careful; I might drop you."

"Oh." Bei looked more obedient. She started chatting with Cheng Mo by sticking her head out and hooking onto his neck, "Hey, do you know, Uncle Sea has an honest and kind appearance, not very tall. Ma'am Sea is a simple and down-to-earth woman. But how did Cheng Dian(Cheng Lighting ) turn out to be their son? He's so tall, handsome, and full of intelligence. Is he their biological son?"

"What do you mean not their biological son? He was born with Uncle Zhong present; it can't be fake. The intelligence probably came from Haibo's genuine teachings. You don't know how shrewd Uncle Sea is; I'll tell you his stories slowly later. Today, I wanted to ask you something."

"What serious matter do you want to discuss?"

"Bei, can we use the coal washing method and make Cou coal? Fu Hai Building consumes a considerable amount of coal every day."

"What are you saying? Fu Hai Building is also mine, isn't it? Why wouldn't we be able to use it? Are you doing this on purpose? I want us to start this business from the source. The process of washing coal, mixing with yellow mud, and making Cou coal, and then drying it is easy to be learned by others. In less than half a year, we might end up only selling resources, which is coal mud. But our North-South Supermarket can still sell coal stoves, a product that won't go out of style for many years."

"Then you two will get rich quickly. In the future, Mr. Cheng will rely on the guidance of the two bosses."

"Are you jealous again? Are you feeling jealous? Can I get richer than you?"

"Bei, what's mine is yours, but what's yours is yours alone, understand? Remember this."

"Wow, you're probably jealous. In the 21st century, you would be the most sought-after man for marriage among countless women." Bei was moved at this moment and teased him with a light-hearted tone.

"In which part of the 21st century? Have you been there? If you haven't been, I won't go either. I don't want anyone else to marry me."

"Who cares where it is. I'm just making a joke. Speaking of which, whether it's small or large coal stoves, single-eyed or multi-headed, for cooking or heating, as long as I give Cheng Electric an idea, I believe he can develop a whole series. In the future, let him organize production, and Ziqiu can sell them. We'll all make money.

In fact, the uses of coal are not limited to these. If people in the future understand how to use steam power to drive ships, the control of coal resources can trigger wars."

"Bei, your words could start a war. You must trust me completely. In the future, tell me about those imaginative ideas before saying them out loud, so I can protect you, understand? Did you hear me? Speak, speak." Cheng Mo didn't hear North's response on her back, and as a punishment, he raised and lowered her twice.

Actually, at this moment, Bei was silently criticizing him. It seems that he is not very honest either, keeping many secrets from her. Why should she trust him completely?

"Bei, we haven't had much time together, and you've been busy like a spinning wheel. How about you take a break? Tomorrow, let's go to Dongbin County, and the day after tomorrow, I'll take you to the seaside, okay?"

Cheng Mo still didn't hear a response from North. He had a bit of understanding; a quick decision was made that would influence his life, but he knew he wouldn't be wrong about people, and he would never regret it.

"Really? I want to go to the seaside, and Dongbin County is not far. Let's go see the sea tomorrow, okay?"

Xiangbei suddenly started singing softly, "When I was a child, my mother told me, the sea is my hometown, born by the sea, growing up in the sea—"

"No, no, I want to go now." Memories from the other world surged up, and North couldn't suppress the longing for the past.

"Tomorrow is too rushed, and the boat journey takes several days round trip. We need to make some arrangements. Didn't you also make plans to visit Old Iron tomorrow night? How about we depart early the day after tomorrow?"

"That sounds good. I'll leave a message for Brother Chen at Renji Pharmacy."

"No need. I'll send someone up the mountain to deliver a message to him directly. Bei, the song you sang just now was really beautiful. Can you sing it again?"

"Thanks. Songs about the seaside should be saved for singing by the sea. If you want to hear it, take me to the sea quickly, okay? By the way, Cheng Mo, do you know about the business on this hill?"
