Chapter 401 People are under the roof

When Xu Jin came to find Jiang Tang, he found her squatting on the ground, staring blankly ahead.

In front of her was a pile of parts.

It was identified as a television by the television casing next to it.

Xu Jin was startled and quickly closed the door behind him, then strode towards Jiang Tang.

I didn't bother to ask her why she didn't lock the door; I immediately pressed her on what she was doing.
"Senior sister, what are you doing?"

"Research."

Jiang Tang answered without looking up.

Xu Jin...

"Senior sister, what are you researching?"

"This!"

Jiang Tang pointed to the television on the ground and answered seriously, "Study it."

Xu Jin...

His senior sister is really amazing.

The hotel's appliances can be dismantled at will.

"Senior sister, if you take it apart, will you be able to put it back together?"

"will not."

Jiang Tang answered without the slightest hesitation.

She finished reading it herself, and then Xu Jin took over.

Xu Jin was a little stunned, wondering what his senior sister wanted him to see?
But since his senior sister had said so, he went up to take a look.

"do you understand?"

"Sister?"

"What parts of these can we make?"

“It’s difficult to see it this way.” Xu Jin had to admit that if they wanted to determine what they could do, they would have to break it down more carefully.

Jiang Tang nodded.

He pulled a screwdriver out of his bag.

"Continue dismantling."

Xu Jin: "It's not my senior sister, this is the hotel..."

“I know,” Jiang Tang replied somewhat blankly. “I didn’t steal anything from it, I just took it apart to take a look.”

Before they set off, the teacher repeatedly told them that although there were many things to criticize here, there were also many things they could learn from.

Having finally made it out of the country and arrived in one of the most developed nations in the world, they are determined to learn as much as possible about their technology and civilization.

She is now putting her teacher's words into practice and is sparing no effort in learning from him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin thought that what his senior sister said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Okay, let's dismantle it.

Before disassembling it, he cautiously asked, "Senior sister, can it really be put back together?"

"can."

Jiang Tang gave him an affirmative answer.

Xu Jin immediately took action and disassembled the wiring.

With her junior brother doing the work for her, Jiang Tang felt much more relaxed. She moved a stool over and sat down to watch.

Xu Jin also took the dismantling very seriously.

He completely forgot that he had come to invite Jiang Tang to dinner.

Shen Ziqing waited in the next room for a while, but did not see Xu Jin return. He walked out of the room with a puzzled look, closed the door, and went to the next room.

I happened to see two students squatting there, whispering to each other, I couldn't hear what they were saying.

The scattered parts reminded him of what they had just done.

Shen Ziqing immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"Xiao Jiang, Xu Jin, what's going on here?"

"We want to investigate the differences between the televisions here and those in China."

Xu Jin spoke up.

Jiang Tang nodded in agreement with Xu Jin.

"Teacher, I remember you told us to study hard."

Shen Ziqing...

Is it possible that the learning he's talking about isn't about dismantling other people's things?

But since things had already come to this, and the TV had been taken apart, he had nothing more to say. He might as well take this opportunity to see what was inside other people's TVs.

He stepped forward and joined the two of them. "So? Did you find anything?"

"Found."

"Teacher, look, the circuit boards they're using are far more sophisticated than ours..."

The three, master and apprentice, carefully analyzed the pile of parts in front of them.

No one remembered that it was dinnertime.

After they came to their senses, under Jiang Tang's guidance, Xu Jin took a screwdriver and slowly, bit by bit, reassembled the parts that were scattered all over the ground back into the television set.

There were no more parts on the ground, and the television set had been assembled.

Xu Jin put it into the screw on the table and tightened the screw.

To confirm that they had indeed restored the television to normal, Xu Jin plugged it in and turned it on.

The images that popped up inside told them that everything was normal.

It's time to go eat.

By this time it was completely dark. They took their bags and keys, locked the door, and went downstairs to eat.

Because they missed the hotel's meal service, they had no food and had to buy it outside.

Fortunately, there are several restaurants on this street.

It's not far from there, and it's not troublesome at all.

The three thanked the hotel receptionist and went out the door, turning left.

They planned to eat dumplings.

The three had just arrived at the dumpling restaurant and ordered dumplings, but before the food arrived, they saw several fat, drunk men come in from outside.

They walked in talking as they went, and when they reached the counter, they slammed the beer bottle in their hand on the table.

"Where's today's protection money?"

They pinched their thumbs, hiccuped, and asked for money in English.

The person in charge of collecting the money was the dumpling restaurant owner's youngest daughter, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

She was quite frightened when she saw these drunkards.

The man who was busy inside immediately stopped what he was doing, came out, took out ten yuan from the drawer, and handed it to the drunk man.

"Brother Jie...this...this is for two days..."

"Who told you this is for two days? Don't you know we charge by the day?"

The drunkard at the head of the group was hiccuping and could barely stand, but his attitude remained extremely arrogant.

The man paying hesitated, "But it's five yuan a day..."

He gave me ten yuan at once.

"What does that have to do with us?"

The drunkard snatched the money away and told the other party to have the money ready by tomorrow, or else they would be in trouble.

They left arrogantly again.

The dumpling shop owner couldn't help but sigh, reached out and touched the hair of his frightened daughter, then turned around and went back inside to continue cooking dumplings.

The three masters and disciples sitting at the table took in this entire scene.

Jiang Tang did nothing while her boss was being extorted for protection money.

With her abilities, those drunkards were naturally not a threat to her.

However, she knew the principle that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

If this shop wants to continue doing business here, and it openly clashes with the people collecting protection money, it will probably have to close down before tomorrow.

Since the other party has chosen to pay money in exchange for temporary peace, Jiang Tang has no need to stand up for herself.

Soon after, the owner cooked the dumplings and brought them over.

Shen Ziqing thanked the owner, took out his chopsticks, and asked how long he had been there.

Has that situation always occurred?

Why not contact the police?
The boss's surname was Liu. Hearing Shen Ziqing's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"We are foreigners!"

“The police protect the locals, but they completely ignore us outsiders.”

For Mr. Liu, earning a few hard-earned coins is enough.

Although most of their money was taken by the gangsters, at least they could still eat their fill and earn a dollar or two...

After hearing this, Shen Ziqing couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not easy, it's not easy for anyone who leaves their hometown."

"Are all the shops on this street like yours? Paying protection money every day?"
