Chapter 249 The Jews and Arras
Sceckley was a little depressed today because he felt that the attitude of US Secretary of State Sward was probably his business was gone, which was a bit difficult to deal with.
When I was depressed, the general solution was to have a meal. The same was true for Scekris. He also attached great importance to eating, and it can even be said to attach great importance to it.
But now...the British Empire!
Scekri said that he was also knowledgeable. The British Empire was all good. The food he ate was so hard to swallow and could not be looked at directly!
"Fried fish, fried potatoes, fried fish, fried potatoes..." Basically, there are only two restaurants in the UK, but there are some snacks... which are really impressive, such as the kind of eel frozen.
"..." When Scekriculture thinks of the smell of the eel frozen, he can't help but shake. Fortunately, it was a snack. It was fooled by others. Many Londoners say that the thing is delicious, but now... "Oh, it's not bad. This is called looking up at the stars. It's a very poetic name. Try it."
After reading the menu for a long time, Scekri finally made a decision and he recruited a waiter.
"I want a look up to the starry sky pie and a meat-filled lamb belly."
“yes-private!”
The waiter turned around and was about to leave, but at this time Scechli grabbed the deceased.
"You must tell the chef that you must not cook the lamb belly with butter, and you must not cook the lamb belly with dairy products. Do you understand?" This request seems a bit strange.
"I understand, respectful sir." But the waiter smiled slightly.
Obviously, such a restaurant has received prides like Scekris. However, this scene fell into the eyes of Levi Strauss. A smile appeared on his face, a surprise smile.
That's right, after leaving the US diplomatic mission of Sward's, Strauss followed Scekri. It's okay, this guy is not amazing, and that Scekri shouldn't have discovered it, but now...
"Hello. Dear sir, can I sit down?" Strauss came to the table in Scechli very gentlemanly, obviously he wanted to make a relationship.
"Oh, this..." Sceckley looked around. It was obvious that there were many empty seats. Why did the guy in front of him join in the fun with him?
So Scekri had the intention to refuse, but Strauss's next sentence made him dispel this idea.
"Why did King David feel so sad after King Saul's death? Although King David's wife was King Saul's daughter, the problem is that many people seem to blame Saul for being a guy with mental problems. I have never understood this problem, and I hope that the sir can help me solve my doubts."
If this passage is said to ordinary people, it must be a fog, but it will be different in Scecross's ears.
"So that's it, haha, my name is Scekri." Scekri was very happy and signaled Strauss to sit down.
"Hello, my name is Levi Strauss. I originally lived in Rhine, but later I went to the American Empire."
"It's okay, everyone is brother, hahaha..."
It's very strange. The two of them immediately became warm. Isn't this too interesting?
In fact, this matter is very normal, because just now, Strauss was very convinced that this Scekris was a Jew!
Yes, he is a Jew, and he is not wrong at all. Where can I tell it?
It’s very simple, it’s not that you can’t cook with dairy products. This is a very important law for Jews. You should know that this is not a living habit. Of course, it shows a living habit, but in fact it is the Jews’ own law!
This law is very interesting. It comes from a passage from the Old Testament of the Bible, which is that God said at least not to use the milk of ewes to cook lambs, because this is too cruel. So, there is such a law, the Jewish own law, that is, they cannot use dairy products to cook meat, and later they should not use animal oil to cook animal meat or animal protein.
So, the scene just now shows everything, only the Jews can do this.
"...I think King Saul is not a mentally ill patient. He is still very great. You know, after Saul's death, many ancestors followed him..." Following Strauss' question just now, Scekri said his own opinion.
This is very interesting. In fact, this is a relatively glorious history of the Jews, that is, the famous era of the Three Kings, Saul, David, and Solomon. During these three kings, the Jews were really powerful and very rich. The legendary treasure of King Solomon. There is one question: Is Saul a mentally ill?
If it were ordinary people, just this question is just a question, what is there to talk about? Isn’t this history? At the age of Strauss and Scechris, they don’t have to go to school for a long time, right? So what if it’s a debate?
It is true, but the Jews are different because they read a book called "Talmud" since childhood. This book is very powerful, it is the law of Judaism, life... Anyway, it is all-encompassing, and the Jews have read it since childhood. This book is very interesting, but the content is actually changing, and there are rabbis among the Jews, that is, people like teachers and pastors and sacrifices, and they will write their own opinions into it.
It is to constantly think about the "Talmud" and constantly argue, forming a kind of speculative thing. The Three Kings Age was in the era before this book, so naturally we have to discuss it carefully... In fact, Marx's materialistic dialectical historical view has a lot to do with this book.
In fact, the reason why Jews seem a little different from each other and that they always produce many outstanding figures has something to do with this book, because this book will help them establish a speculative worldview, although it is not entirely because of this book...
So, now Strauss raised this question and then talked freely in Scekriculture. In this way, the gap between the two naturally was not much, so...
"Mr. Scekri's talent is really admired. I will definitely go back and study it carefully. However, I saw that you didn't look very good before, and you seemed to have something to worry about..." Yes, this is Strauss' real purpose!
Well, I can't say that it's unnecessary to discuss "Talmud", because it's good to do this academic research, but Strauss cares more about what Sczech Republic talks with Sward.
"This..." Scechri was alert when he heard this. Moreover, he was not a fool, a Jew, and he was usually less stupid. He recalled that he seemed to have seen this Strauss somewhere before.
That's right. Strauss actually met in Scekriculture, but the two had no interaction at that time.
However, at this time, Strauss smiled and said, "Sir, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I am a merchant in the American Empire's Merchants, who came with the Empire's diplomatic mission."
"Oh..." This matter was not hidden by others, because Strauss had already said that he is now the American Empire, and you must know that the American Empire is not easy to come out now, and it is blocked by Europe.
Therefore, the person in front of me is quite honest and a compatriot who can be close to you.
"Hey..." Scekri sighed, and then he said in a low mood: "I don't need to hide it. Let me introduce myself first. I am currently the ambassador of the Russian Empire to the United States of America. What I talked with Sward before was actually very simple, that is the issue of this land in Alaska."
"Alaska?" Strauss's heart moved when he heard this place name. You know, this place is now in the hands of the Russian Empire. What are the conversations between Scheire and Sward?
Scekri smiled slightly and continued, "It's very simple. I'm talking to Sward about selling Alaska to the United States of America at a price!"
"..." Strauss' expression changed a few times, and then he calmed down, "Could it be that this guy Sward changed his mind?"
"Hehehe, brother, you are really smart." Scekri did not deny it!
Obviously, when this matter is talked about, it becomes very, very interesting.
Scekri should have figured it out just now, that is, Strauss is a businessman, so why can't he talk to a fellow businessman of his own?
Yes, that's why there is no concealment in Scekriculture, and the most important thing is that the situation in the United States has changed now, which is a very bad change.
Simply put, Sward gives Scechris the feeling that Americans are not going to buy Alaska!
As a diplomatic envoy, Scekris was still a Jew, so he was naturally not a fool. Therefore, although the things conveyed in Sward's words were bargaining, the obvious price was too much. The previous price was already very low, okay? I can't get much kickback, okay?
Well, it's normal to get some kickbacks. If it weren't for the temptation of this kickback, why would Sceckle all the way from the United States to the United Kingdom?
Of course, logically speaking, he shouldn't do this, he shouldn't change places easily, but there are people on him who are anxious... This business has more than one person's kickbacks.
So now, this matter has reached this point, then...
Straus smiled and said, "Mr. Scekri, I would like to ask, if the Russian Empire minds talking about this deal with our American Empire?"
"Oh, that's it..." Scekri also smiled... (To be continued...)
