Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 595 There is a reasonable explanation

As long as it's money deposited in the bank, it's their money.

How they deal with it is their business, outsiders should not interfere.

It is easy to deposit money, but it is difficult to withdraw money.

If you want to withdraw more money, you need to make an appointment in advance.

The interest rate is still low, so there is not much money at all.

Even if you buy gold bars, you can earn more than the interest.

Zhang Weiguo knew the details of these banks and had no problem keeping his money in them.

Exchange the money for gold bars, or use it to buy houses or antiques, but don't put it in the bank.

It's in the bank and I don't know when it was frozen.

You don’t have the final say over your own money, and you have to act according to other people’s wishes.

No wonder those big bosses are unwilling to stay in the country.

They tried to get the money abroad.

It's not safe abroad either, and you have to worry about people breaking into your house and robbing you.

In those places, you can carry guns, so it is very likely that you will be robbed.

Especially some foreigners, they don't like outsiders at all. If you meet such people, you really have to be careful.

It is still better to choose countries with higher safety factors, which will be safer.

It is forbidden to go out at night. If you can avoid going out, it is better not to go out.

There are still differences in living habits. The education they received since childhood is different, and many things are different.

Especially when it comes to dealing with things, Chinese people have the custom of giving gifts.

As long as the gift is delivered, that's pretty much it.

Unfortunately, there is no such custom abroad.

In Japan, people invite you to dinner in a very formal way.

You think, with so much importance attached to it, it must be a big meal.

In China, it is given so much importance that if we don’t have chicken, duck, fish, meat, various seafood, and don’t drink Moutai, we would be unworthy of such importance.

But in Japan, you wait for a week and finally the day to eat arrives.

Originally, you were thinking it would be a big meal.

When you get there, you realize that all the attention is paid to a simple bowl of ramen.

Is it necessary to take a bowl of ramen so seriously?

They really haven't eaten anything good.

in the country, if there is no fried chicken on the table, it is not considered a dinner treat.

You feel like you're not taken seriously at all when you eat ramen.

If it were in the country, no one would go to such a venue.

If you invite guests but eight dishes are missing, no one will want to come.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it, you still have to put it on the table so that it shows your importance.

The plates have to be stacked.

This is the only way to show your importance to a person. No matter whether they eat the dishes or not, they must be served.

Especially chicken, fish, and pork elbows, these dishes are must-haves.

Different places have different customs.

In some places, it is customary to start with the cold dishes, about four cold dishes, then the hot dishes, and finally end with a meatball soup.

As long as you see this dish, it means that all the dishes have been served and the next step is the main course.

There are several kinds of staple foods, including rice, steamed buns, and noodles.

This meal will take at least two hours.

If you add drinking, it will take three hours.

Be hospitable and don't let others feel unhappy.

Just like drinking, you have to keep the guests company, and they will not stop until the guests say it's enough.

There are even more things that happen at the dinner table.

Every time before drinking, I have to say a few words of blessing.

These habits cannot be changed easily.

When I arrived abroad, I couldn’t get used to many things, especially the problem of speaking.

Not everyone can speak English.

If it's all Chinese, then you should go to a place where there are many Chinese people living.

There are many people in these places, so there is no problem speaking Chinese.

Communicating with foreigners is a bit of a problem.

In China, when we invite others to dinner, all the food served is good. We will serve things that we usually wouldn’t eat.

I drink casually even the wine that I normally wouldn't be willing to drink.

Only in this way can it be considered a treat.

It’s different in Japan.

Eating a meal of ramen is a very important matter.

I had a bowl of ramen for the meal, and I thought there would be something else after that. After the ramen, there would be other food, but in the end, there was nothing.

To them, this is all very normal.

You are not used to such habits at all.

Even when we eat at their house and cook a pot of food, they will serve out some and store the rest in the refrigerator.

You look at that little bit of food, it’s not even enough for you to take a bite.

After eating in a place like this, you still have to make a bowl of instant noodles when you get home.

Their food was not enough to fill them up.

No wonder they can’t gain weight, that little food is not enough to feed the cats.

How can you be fat with that little bit of food?

The same is true in Korea, where all kinds of kimchi are available.

The meal was just kimchi, nothing else.

I've had enough of this if I eat it every day.

They also taste delicious.

They haven't eaten anything good either.

They can't even afford fruit.

Eating a watermelon with a spoon was something they couldn't imagine.

Strawberries are sold by the bucket, and they are eaten individually.

If you go to a place like this and there is nothing to eat, how can you bear it?

It's impossible to stay in a place like this for two months.

Just the problem of eating is an unsolvable problem.
