When it was just dark, the lights were lit early in the German Shan Hall outside Chongwenmen.

When this comes to the time when the lights are just on in Sijiu City, it can be compared to the years when Empress Dowager Cixi and Lafayette are wandering around the palace.

At that time, a light maker from outside was done with seven or eight eunuchs. Seeing that the yard where Empress Dowager Cixi lived was bright and transparent by a long string of electric lights, I didn’t know where the courage came out, but actually knelt in front of Empress Dowager Cixi’s eyes, learning the way in the play, and opening my mouth to ask for a reward for Empress Dowager Cixi!

At that time, foreign gunboats outside the Qing Dynasty were bombarded with big cannons, and the men with righteous and fist were burning with holy fire. Zhenzhen was a stall that set the Qing Dynasty court on the fire. Not to mention whether Empress Dowager Cixi and Lao Fu were still in the mood to reward a light smith from outside at this time, that was, I really wanted to reward.

I really can't take out anything in my hand - maybe whose surname the Forbidden City will follow tomorrow, it's all a little bit!

I guess that Empress Dowager Cixi was idle that day, so she sent someone to help her teeth and rub her teeth. She raised her hand and shouted at the light slayer from the outside: "Then seal you up and wait!"

After saying that, a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded Empress Dowager Cixi, who looked faintly smiling, and returned to the bedroom, leaving only a light slayer from the outside who had just received the reward kneeling on the ground in joy and kowtowed like pounding garlic!

Waiting to break the oily skin, the light slayer from the outside was not stupid enough. He also knew that he was dragging a few eunuchs beside him and asked - what rank is this town bridge waiting, and what title is? Is it bigger and smaller than the county magistrate?

If I didn't figure this out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to promote the rewards of Empress Dowager Cixi and Lafayette in front of my fellow villagers, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs who were dragged by the electric light slayer from the outside suddenly laughed into a bunch of quails, and the strange laughter made the birds flying around the trees around him!

After waiting for a long time, I was so angry that a eunuch told the truth to the electric light slayer from the outside. When everyone was making fun of each other, they called the beggar who was squatting on the side of the road to beggar General, and the beggar who was squatting at the entrance of the bridge also had a nickname - Zhenqiao Hou!

Since Empress Dowager Cixi has given you a title for the Bridge and Housing, then you are just holding a broken bowl and becoming an official seal and taking office immediately?!

To be honest, this is just a joke.

But I just helped install a few light bulbs in the palace, and I wanted to get a reward. Then the official title of the Qing Dynasty is really worthless, right?

But when I say that, the great Qing Dynasty was shouting in my mouth, was it the king's land, the shores of the land, the king's ministers, the rich world, the land was vast and the wealthy, but I was at the forefront. The empress dowager of a country forced the foreign guns and cannons to get dirty, and changed her appearance and escaped from the Forbidden City. After finally returning to the Forbidden City, she couldn't even afford to pay the reward of a lantern smith.

This Qing Dynasty deserves to die!

Although the electric light has been on since Empress Dowager Cixi and Lao Fu, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to use electric lights at home!

At that time, on the boundary of Sijiu City, the serious ones were called three feet of soil in sunny days and mud in rainy days. In ordinary people's homes, those who could afford a kerosene lamp every night were considered well-off families, not to mention how many people could only sit next to the stove when it was dark, and just slit up their clothes with the embers in the stove.

This is just some wealthy merchants and wealthy families, and they can spend money to pull the wires and install the light bulbs in the room. Every day, when it gets dark, they carefully close the switch that is installed in the yard. When it reaches the sleeping stall, there is an in charge of the house shouting in the various yards with a voice on their voices. When they speak, the lights are turned on in each room!

After shouting three or five times, seeing the kerosene lamps shaking with small flames lit up in each room, the person in charge of the house touched the front of the switch and still carefully pulled the switch knife down. The originally bright and bright mansion was restored to the old Beijing look with the swaying lights and the vague voices!

——I can’t do it accidentally. The electric light is good, but it’s a problem that makes people unable to stand it! If you are not careful

Haven't you heard that the second manager of the Deshengmen Qi family used to be called electrocuted when the switch was pulled?

It was almost like taking advantage of the flash of lights when they were on, Yan Xu had quietly climbed over the wall of Shantang and squatted into the corner behind the kitchen in Shantang.

It has to be said that Jiuhouer is very active in his mind. Although he has just entered the Shantang and has not even stepped on the ground, he has already started to move his hands.

On the threshold of the canteen where I was eating, I used the skill of carrying my shoes to dip some dust and drew some pattern of monkey offering fruits in a few strokes. Even if I were in the eyes of the good guys who were sneaking in, I was afraid that I would have seen some secret stories about the world. Those who could see that the house was just a canteen that was not tight.

Jiuhouer didn't let him fall down when taking a bath. He used foreigners' pancreas to make three vertical curves on the window frame. He knew that this was a water room no matter how he looked.

People come and go at the door of the kitchen where he is staying, and it is not easy to leave any marks drawn. But Jiuhouer can be so clever. While using the stalls to cook with firewood and coal, he can use firewood to build a pagoda-like Monkey Mountain without showing any sign of water. The coal blocks on the top of the mountain are all the monkeys who are only sophisticated and breathe in the moon!

With this mark that can be guided by the clear night, Yan Xu naturally quickly found the territory where Jiuhouer was staying. Just as the person was retreating into the corner behind the kitchen, Yan Xu had already sucked his lips and gently imitated the screams of rats fighting for food.

Almost like a shadow, Jiuhouer's speech came from the kitchen with the lights on: "Master, where is this slush pouring?"

He was busy serving dozens of people of all sizes and sizes for a day. The chef in the kitchen who could make foreign food was already exhausted and shouted to Jiuhouer in a muffled voice: "You are so angry that you have eyes and vent your anger? There is a ditch behind the kitchen, so I poured the water there! There are still a bunch of bowls and plates in the kitchen. If you can't clean these bowls and plates today, I will tell Dr. Ke tomorrow, throw you back to the street to beg for food!"

Pretending to look timid and scared, Jiuhouer's voice was trembling a little: "Don't, I'll go now, go now."

He muttered timidly, Jiuhouer carried a large bucket of water and walked around the back of the kitchen, and also sucked his lips and learned the movements of mice fighting for food.

After carefully looking at the surroundings, Yan Xu didn't move anywhere, but just shouted at Jiuhouer with a voice: "Don't look back, do your own work! Do you see something wrong?"

Like a weak child unable to lift the heavy bucket, Jiuhouer slowly walked towards the ditch not far away, and agreed to Yan Xu's question without looking back: "Uncle Second, this Shantang is probably not a good place! Listening to the children who came to Shantang early, the doctors here could give the children injections and medicine, and also said that they would send the children who could not cure the disease here to Tianjin and take a steamship to Germany to continue the treatment! Uncle Second, when will the foreigners in Sijiu City have such good intentions?"

His eyes scanned the movements around him like a meteor. While Yan Xu listened to Jiu Houer's voice, he said to Jiu Houer: "What else is wrong?"

Pretending to be unable to lift the bucket, he could only stop and take a breath for a while. Jiuhouer shook his head towards the two-story building with bright lights in the Shantang: "Among the rules set by foreigners, the first one is that we, the man from Sijiu City, are not allowed to enter the building unless they ask them to lead them in! Even the chef in this gang gave him midnight snacks, he could only be delivered to the entrance of the building, and then the Germans in the building took them in."

Listening to the sound of the master walking in the kitchen moving towards the door, Jiuhouer lifted the heavy bucket of water and trotted to the edge of the ditch, pouring a full bucket of water into the ditch!

Maybe it was because he thought Jiuhouer was not very skilled enough, and the chef, who had been exhausted, saw Jiuhouer standing next to the ditch, and immediately shouted and cursed: "Hey, you are really an emperor's body and a flower! If you ask you to pour a bucket of water, you have to spend two hours, right? Ma Liuer came in to clean up the dishes, and Dr. Clinder and the German doctors still have to have midnight snacks!"

He looked silly, and Jiuhouer trotted towards the kitchen with the bucket in his hand, and agreed with a slight voice: "When will the gate be opened now? I will pull the gate tonight, and the bright porcelain plate must not be washed clean, but I can't even see it."

A humming sounded from his nostrils, the chef standing next to the kitchen reached out and took out a box of foreign cigarettes from his arms, and pulled out one and held it in the corner of his mouth: "Just say you are a rustic bull that you have never seen before, right?! Where is this? This is a good hall opened by the Great German Kingdom. It will be opened when there is an electric light in the city of Sijiu. Unless the power plant that makes electricity is closed, then the lights have never been turned off! Don't he talks nonsense to me, come and work!"

He agreed with a sound of his mouth, and Jiuhouer pretended to be stupid and stunned: "Here you come, come, the good hall of the Great German Kingdom, you really have money! But the bright light bulbs shine at night, how can you sleep?"

He held a fat slap on Jiuhouer's head and slapped him hard. The chef who had just lit a cigarette roll cursed angrily: "You are still worried about this?! I will tell you clearly that every house in Shantang has its own light ropes. Once you pull it, it will be clear, and it will be extinguished! The days when the entire Shantang power plant is not on, it will only be once in a while - the strong wind blows the wires at the bottom of the corner of the house."
