I soon found that out for myself. You must know that they are very fond of ' chin-chinning ' that is, of making presents and get- ting others in exchange ; but always taking care to get the better of the bargain. When I first went to China, CONCERNING EATING. 73 before I landed, one of them made his way on board, came into my cabin, and at once struck up an acquaint- ance. Seeing some old coins on my table, the greedy fellow at once wanted them, though they were no use to him. ' You chin-chin m...e and I'll chin-chin you/ said he, till at last it was arranged that he should take the coins and give me a lot of silk for them. I was told I was ' done/ but I must say I did not expect that I should be unable to get anything at all from him.
