Chapter 796 Bringing the Restaurant to New York
How important is Chinatown to the Chinese?

It is not an exaggeration to say that Chinatown is the root of all New York Chinese.

In New York, Chinatown is the epitome of Chinese culture and an important gathering place for Chinese.

However, in recent years, many middle and high-income Chinese have begun to move out of Chinatown, leaving only some profitable industries here.

The reason lies in the mess of Chinatown.

After hundreds of years of development, Chinatown has become dilapidated and crowded.

In recent years, with the influx of illegal Chinese smuggling in, this place has become the worst place to live in New York.

Over the years, many Chinese leaders have thought about the issue of transforming Chinatown.

But this question is really not that simple.

To do this, you must first have an overall plan and get permission from the government.

The overall plan is fine.

Most of the industries in Chinatown belong to the Chinese. People like Lin William and Chen Hongsheng came forward to organize it. After a lot of trouble, they should be able to reach an agreement.

But it is not so simple to obtain government permission and support.

After all, this is a large municipal project, not as simple as demolishing one or two houses.

In the context of the discrimination against the Chinese, few policymakers are willing to take the trouble.

But now, Giuliani has taken the initiative to raise this point.

Judging from his tone, this is definitely not a coping statement for votes, but he wants to transform it together with Times Square.

For those present, the allure of Chinatown transformation is enormous.

The transformation of Chinatown will not only bring great benefits to Chinatown's image, residential and business environment, but also mean huge business opportunities.

These people here are all people with property in Chinatown. Once Chinatown is remodeled, it means that their small dilapidated buildings can be turned into high-rise buildings.

In addition, there may be opportunities for mergers and acquisitions.

Everyone was excited and expressed their support for Giuliani's plan.

"Rudolph, I believe you will be the best mayor in New York history."

William Lin expressed his support for Giuliani's mayor campaign on behalf of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New York.

"Mr. Giuliani, if you have time, I hope you can visit No. 22 Mo Street, Chinatown."

Chen Hongsheng also took the initiative to invite Giuliani.

This is also a statement of support.

Because of the special nature of the Hongmen, before Chen Hongsheng fully supports Giuliani, he must discuss some details a little bit, but it is impossible for Chen Hongsheng to discuss with him in front of William Lin and Weng Jinjun, who are not members of the Hongmen.

Giuliani smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that this matter was basically completed, and the following details were just a political exchange, which would not affect the cooperation between everyone.

Wu is indeed a very influential person among the Chinese, and it is worth making friends with!

Giuliani made this even more certain.

Everyone couldn't help thinking, how much influence did Wu Xiaozheng have on Giuliani?
Why can his opinion become Giuliani's policy agenda?

Everyone soon realized this.

Wu Xiaozheng started to serve the dishes.

The dishes are very special.

Because American meat is mainly chicken and beef, in order to accommodate Giuliani, a large plate of drunk Hunan chicken was served first.

Everyone here has eaten this dish, and when they saw this dish, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Giuliani is no exception.

Such a delicious dish, just looking at and smelling it, can whet his appetite. If the master hadn't served it, he would have been unable to hold back.

"I'm sure this will be the most delicious Chinese food I've ever eaten. I didn't expect Wu to have such skills!"

Although not ready to eat, Giuliani has begun to admire.

The second course is a boiled beef dish.

According to the American way of eating, beef has always been fried and roasted, but Wu Xiaozheng cut it into uniform slices, and then also made it full of color, flavor and taste.

"Today is really lucky!"

Even He Shiyuan couldn't help admiring.

He had heard from his father a long time ago that his junior brother cooks top-notch dishes, and today he had the opportunity to experience them.

The third course is a braised pork dish.

Needless to say, this is a classic in Chinese cuisine. Because of Mao, this dish is very famous in the United States.

The few Chinese present here have naturally eaten braised pork, but braised pork with such a good appearance is still rare.

The fourth course was a spicy lobster dish.

Anyone who has eaten Chef Wu’s restaurant in China must know that this is similar to Chef Wu’s signature dish Wu’s flavored shrimp, but the material is the Boston lobster here, and Wu Xiaozheng makes it beautiful. Huan.

"Why isn't Wu coming up?" Giuliani couldn't hold back anymore.

Wu Xiaozheng finally came up, followed by several waiters serving food and drinks.

When He Shiyuan and others saw the wine, their eyes lit up immediately.

Because it is Xiangshui gold liquid.

Because of the rush, Wu Xiaozheng and others brought only a small amount of samples to the United States this time. Even He Shiyuan could only taste it before, but this time he served three bottles at once.

Because he didn't know the charm of this wine, Giuliani was curious about the new dishes.

Among them is a stewed fish and a fish with pickled cabbage.

Also beautifully done.

"What kind of fish is this?" Giuliani asked curiously, pointing to the braised fish with its mouth wide open.

"Asian carp." Wu Xiaozheng replied with a smile.

"Can this also be delicious?"

Giuliani was a little surprised.

As we all know, more than 20 years ago, the manufacturing industry in the United States was relatively developed, and the five major freshwater lakes were all polluted.In order to control pollution, the U.S. Congress passed legislation to introduce large quantities of Asian carp.

At first, the arrival of carp did significantly improve the water quality pollution in the water area.But what the Americans didn't expect was that the series of questions behind caught them off guard.Once Asian carp arrived in American lakes, they reproduced very quickly, without natural enemies, and within a few years they became flooded.

According to an earlier study, carp make up more than 90 percent of all fish species in U.S. lakes.

However, this is a delicious high-quality ingredient in China, but it has become a burden in the United States.

The reason is that carp was first introduced as a source of pollution, so in the American mind, carp is used to clean up garbage and is not suitable for consumption.

Moreover, Americans are more accustomed to eating beef and chicken, and in their eating habits, fish is rarely eaten.For many of them, carp meat is not so delicious, and often has an earthy smell.

Moreover, Americans are not good at using chopsticks, and it is quite troublesome to eat carp with so many fish bones.

Therefore, in Giuliani's impression, carp is also not suitable for consumption.

Even though he had already tasted carp when he ate Chinese food in Chinatown, it still displeased him.

Wu Xiaozheng said with a smile: "Why don't you try this dish first?"

He took a small piece of fish directly from the braised carp and put it on the plate in front of Giuliani.

Giuliani picked up the chopsticks a little awkwardly and sent the fish into his mouth.

Immediately, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Oh my god, why is it so delicious? Wu, you should open the restaurant to New York, and I will become your loyal customer!"

This sentence is better than any evaluation.
