Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 29 The best people to deal with

The good things in Carter's mouth are naturally Chinese food!

New York is not a small place like Douglas. As the most well-known city in the United States and the wealthiest city, New York has a Chinatown.After eating baked pasta in Douglas for more than two weeks, Carter's heart has already faded away. Now he misses the beer hot pot very much.
Although the hot pot restaurant was not found, Carter still found a Sichuan and Hunan restaurant.There are basically no overseas students or new immigrants among the Chinese in the United States at this meeting, and almost all of them came to the meeting or even earlier in the Republic of China.In Chinatown as a whole, there are more people who are originally from Guangdong or Fujian, and most of the restaurants are Cantonese restaurants, and this taste is more in line with the taste of ghosts.

Just like the future selection of Michelin restaurants in Waterloo, China, the tastes of foreigners are completely different from those of Chinese.Some people may shout "amazing" after eating Chinese food and fall in love with Chinese food out of control, but the vast majority of foreigners are actually indifferent to Chinese food, especially Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, which is heavy and spicy.

Just like Mei Lisi now, looking at a large table full of dishes, and then looking at the fork in her hand, the dissatisfaction on her face intensified.This dissatisfaction intensified especially when he saw the elder brother on the opposite side waving chopsticks in an extremely skillful posture, flying up and down, eating happily:

"Carter!! This is what you said is delicious?! How do I eat this? Besides, don't you think it's spicy?"

"Well, I was negligent. You can change the spoon."

After comforting Melis, Carter turned his head and shouted at the bar:

"Boss, please serve me a bowl of rice! And a spoon, my sister can't use chopsticks."

"Okay, come right away. You speak Chinese really well, who did you learn it from?"

The fat boss put a bowl of rice on the table with a smile, and talked to Carter curiously.Foreigners are rarely seen in Chinese restaurants these days, and they are mostly Chinese people from around Chinatown.Not to mention that this is a Sichuan restaurant, so it is strange to meet a foreigner who looks like he is at home. He speaks Chinese not only standard, but also with a taste of dialect.Even the guests at the surrounding tables looked over curiously with friendly smiles.

"Hey, I said that I am self-taught, do you believe it?"

Carter laughed while helping Melis put the vegetables into the bowl.As a Chinese with a soul of a foreigner, this Chinatown really made Carter feel like coming home.

The Chinese signboards that can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as this bustling small restaurant, are just like the Sichuan restaurant in front of his house before.Even the smoke in the small restaurant seemed so friendly.

"By the way, boss, do you have liquor here? If you're not busy, let's have a drink or two together?"

After pushing the rice bowl full of dishes in front of Melis, and motioning for the other party to mix it with a spoon and eat it directly, Carter suddenly realized why he always felt that something was missing.
When I was a child, I went to that Sichuan restaurant to eat, and I usually packed a piece of fish-flavored shredded pork to take home to satisfy my cravings.After college, every time I go home, I upgrade to two dishes, plus a glass of wine.We have been neighbors for many years, and the boss also knows Carter. When he is not busy, he will come out to add a dish, drink together, and chat.

There is a familiar taste in his mouth, but there is no familiar person in front of him.Fortunately, isn't there a replacement? !

"Hey! You kid, go on the road! Wait, I brew a little homemade, and I won't be able to drink it from someone else. But it should get better soon, isn't it the establishment of diplomatic relations now, and we don't have to brew the bean paste ourselves in the future."

The talent of tolerance in the bones of the Chinese is undoubtedly evident in the fat boss. It can be seen that this foreigner not only speaks Chinese well, but also knows the beauty of baijiu.The hospitality couldn't be restrained, and he walked briskly to the back kitchen, and then twisted out two small wine glasses and a wine jar.

"You ordered a lot of food, enough for us to drink, I won't add more food, because it would be a waste. If you have a meal, I'll serve the wine, and don't pay for the wine later."

After saying hello, the two exchanged cups.Carter is curious about the lives of these Chinese in the United States, and the fat boss is also curious about Carter, a foreigner, and his understanding of the Chinese. In short, there is no shortage of topics.

After the lively meal, Carter left the restaurant rubbing his full belly with emotion.Many people think that the United States is open and free, but it is actually bullshit. The United States is essentially a Puritan country, and it is very conservative at heart.

Along the way, it was okay when I was in Georgia. My own license plate clearly told everyone that we were our own people.But after leaving Georgia, after arriving in central states such as Virginia, I sometimes pass by some small towns and stop to go to the supermarket to buy things.

That guy, the whole supermarket has to stare at him.Seeing that I am a foreigner, it seems that I am afraid that I will cause damage. If the white people are like this, you have to change to a black person or an Asian person.
Many of the unbelievable police reports in the American police report are the result of this group of people who seem to be in pain.Angsa people are not only xenophobic, but also always have a persecution paranoia of "always making trouble for the people and trying to harm me".I always feel that the government is oppressing us, that outsiders want to bully us, etc.

Like the fat boss, even if you face yourself with a foreign face, as long as you speak the same words, drink the same wine, and blow the same cowhide, you are good brothers, completely different, and even contrast sharply.

"Brother, you seem to be very happy today? Is this Chinese food really that delicious? I think it's pretty average, and it's so spicy. My throat feels a little sore now. And, when did you learn Chinese? Why don't you know anything?"

Drinking and bragging delayed the time. Originally, the two of them came out late, but now it was around nine o'clock.I don't know whether it was Jiu Zhuang who was cowardly, or the New York law and order during the day gave Carter confidence.Now Carter took Melis, walking slowly and slowly towards home.

After all, don't drink and drive, and drive without drinking~
"Hahaha, maybe you are not used to it. Once you get used to it, you will find that only Chinese food is eaten by people. I am not saying that the food made by Jenny is not delicious, but you will not feel tired of eating so many kinds of food every day. Is it? I just got bored of eating."

Melis has a lot of problems, but now, firstly, there is enough time to chat with the siblings, and secondly, Carter is really happy now.Appetite is secondary, and the spiritual sense of home and satisfaction are the most important.

Even Chinese food is delicious because of psychological effects.Carter is now slowly feeling a little uncomfortable in his body, with a dull pain in his stomach. Carter's body is not used to Chinese food, and the spicy Sichuan and Hunan dishes are served, and his stomach will definitely not be able to stand it.

He likes spicy food and heavy food, this is Carter's taste in his previous life.Thinking about this Chinese food is also Carter's psychological expectation, not verbal expectation.

"As for knowing Chinese, hey, there are many things you don't know. However, I also recommend that you learn Chinese. When you have studied Chinese culture, you will find that they are actually the most tolerant people in the world. A group is also the easiest to deal with and the most hospitable group of people.”

"As long as you don't contact them with malice, they will treat you as the most honored guest and entertain you with their best things."
