Chong Sheng 1977Nian Cong Zhi Qing Kai Shi

These young people may have a number in Chinatown. Passers-by nearby saw the less obvious expressions of disgust on their faces, and they also moved to the side.

Seeing this situation, Nanyi pulled the two little girls to avoid it.

"Dad, why are there dwarf mules in Chinatown?"

"Why can't we have it here? Where there are people, there are benefits. If there are benefits, there will naturally be huge profits."

"No, I thought it was the same as "The Godfather", with Chicago printers in their hands, as long as they fight, they can hold them in their hands."

"It's a movie, you take it seriously."

As Nanyi said, his eyes were on those young men who were walking towards them, wondering if they were blind, couldn't they see a group of vicious men standing beside him?

Suppressing the fire and brewing for a while, Nan Yi was planning to deal with the indiscriminate disaster with a shy face, but the gaze of one of the short and young people made him murderous.

I saw this three-inch gaze swivel on the faces of the two little girls, with a hint of obscenity in the corners of his eyes.

Nanyi held the two little girls and was about to pass by the young people, but Sancunding didn't intend to let them go, so he took two quick steps and stopped in front of Nanyi.

"Don't rush away, newcomer, do you understand the rules of Chinatown?"

"I'm just here for tourism. I don't know what the rules are here. Excuse me, have I violated any rules here?"

"Hahaha, tourism, it's not a place to take root here, it's okay, tourists like you are very welcome in Chinatown, it's fun."

Sancunding smiled, and quickly moved out of the way, but when Nanyi and the others walked away, he said to a person beside him: "Follow me, I want to know where they live."

On the other side, Nan Yi, who was walking away, was sticking to the ear of the colonel, "The one who was the shortest just now, do you remember his face?"

"remember."

"To find out the details, I want to know what his parents do, and whether there are any black relatives in the family. If there is no problem, just do things, don't come forward yourself, and find black people in Queens."

"Are there any specific requirements?"

"Find someone who knows how to cook. Before he dies, chop up his stuff and fry it with good butter. It's half-cooked; if his family is ordinary people, don't bother him, if it's black Yes, please make their family tidy."

"Boss, it's so creative."

"be quick."

"There are people who specialize in this kind of work, and they charge money to do things cleanly."

"That would be best."

After talking with the colonel, Nanyi walked to the side of the two little girls, and the three watched everything in Chinatown with great interest.

New York's Chinatown is very large, including dozens of streets, but except for a few streets that support the scene, which look quite prosperous and peaceful, once you turn into a relatively narrow street, the style changes suddenly, the streets become dark, and the air pressure becomes lower. , the color of the light has also become ambiguous, as if you can still hear the sound of clattering mahjong.

On both sides of the wall, you can also see a woman smoking with her back against the wall or with one leg bent, her high heels against the wall.

Nan Yi glanced at it, and he understood that this street is full of underground casinos and brothels, and there may be "kitchens" and "restaurants", so he led the two little girls away quickly.

Nanyi was very disappointed with this place, it was very different from the Chinatown he saw more than ten years later.

At that time, Chinatown had been swept away by the New York police and had faintly turned into a tourist area, but now it is almost the same as the Kowloon Walled City, and it is simply a hotbed of crime.

Back on the bright main street, Nanyi walked all the way, while inquiring into the restaurants on both sides of the street to see which restaurant had more yellow skin.

Walking and walking, I saw that most of the people in a shop with the signboard of Jinding Pavilion were yellow-skinned, so Nanyi decided to have dinner here.

Walking into the store, I looked at other people's tables. Hey, there are Sichuan, Shandong and Cantonese dishes, a hodgepodge on one table. It seems that this place is also an improved Chinese food, a delicious dish other than the four major cuisines [see author's statement].

After finding a seat to sit down, Nanyi recruited a waiter.

"Can you speak Chinese?"

"Yes." The waiter said, "Foreign students."

"That's right, let me ask, is there any cook who has just come from China and hasn't returned his skills to the ancestor?"

"There is one, and it has only been here for less than a month."

"What cuisine?"

"It seems to be from Zhejiang Province, and the cooking is Zhejiang cuisine."

Nan Yi thought about it, at this time, those who came out of Zhejiang Province at this time were probably from Wenzhou, and most of them were from Oujiang cuisine.

"Then please tell the cook, seven dishes and one soup, let him do a good deal, and do what he is good at. I will give an extra 10% tip, and you and the cook will share it."

The waiter smiled and said "thank you".

Nanyi and the others followed the four teams openly or secretly, but there were only two or three kittens who really liked Chinese food. They were lucky if they could accept Chinese food. They could often eat with Nanyi, otherwise they would have to take turns. Take work to solve the stomach.

"Dad, we've been in New York for a few days, when are we going to Hollywood?"

"If you are willing to go by yourself, you can go there tomorrow. If you want to go with Dad, then wait a little longer. Dad still has a lot of work to do here."

"Oh, you won't wait until we start school, and you haven't finished your work yet?"

"No, I will definitely set aside time to take you to Hollywood, and then take you to the White House. Don't worry about other places, Dad will take you there in the future."

"Godfather, shall we come to China next year?" Fan Hongdou asked.

"Well, come again, this year is special, godfather has too many things, next summer vacation, godfather will take you to a few more countries, when you grow up, you can travel by yourself, and try to travel around the world before you reach adulthood. Go all over again."

Just as Nanyi was talking, a woman walked in from the door of Jinding Pavilion, glanced at the store, and was about to go to the cashier, but halfway there, she stopped and took two steps back to Nanyi and his table. He glanced at it, then took two steps forward, and turned his head to glance again.

The woman turned out the smile hidden deep under her exhaustion and stuck it on her face, then turned and walked towards Nanyi's table.

"Nanyi, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Classmate Qu." Nan Yi turned around and glanced sideways, "When did you come to the country?"

"Can I sit down?" Qu Liuyan pointed to the empty seat.

"Look at me." Nan Yi blamed himself and said, "I'm so sorry, please sit down, please sit down."

Qu Liuyan sat down modestly, and then hurriedly said, "I came here not long after I graduated."

"Oh, graduate school? Which university?"

Hearing Nanyi's question, Qu Liuyan was a little embarrassed, and said after a pause, "I didn't continue my studies."

"Tsk tsk, working in New York, is it at the embassy?"

Qu Liuyan's embarrassment was even worse for Nanyi's question. She didn't know how to answer it. Could it be that my mother came to Yiguo through marriage, and I married an old man who thought he was a rich man but was actually a poor man?

Looking at the distressed expression on Qu Liuyan's face, Nan Yi immediately had three guesses: 1. He didn't obey the assignment and went to work in a foreign company in China in the country of Li, and then was sent to the country; 2. He came here through an informal way; , Marry Laomei and mix green card.

But soon, Nanyi ruled out the first guess. If he really wants to work in a US company, there is nothing shameful, so he can't answer.

A high-achieving student from Beijing University would not come here through illegal channels, so the high probability is the third type.

"get married?"

"Um."

Yep, being guessed by Nan Yi, he was overjoyed, and secretly said, "Yes!"

He still remembered how impassioned Qu Liuyan was when he debated with Zhou Maode back then.

What "we were backward in the past, but I believe that with our efforts, our country will definitely catch up with the western countries...", what "I believe, there will be bread, there will be milk, and private cars will sooner or later Yes, as long as we make unremitting efforts, as long as we are willing to sacrifice..."

These words are still in Nanyi's ears and his earwax is still confronting, but the owner who said these words has come to the country himself, and he still uses a shameful method, hehe!

Nan Yi was having fun here, while Qu Liuyan opened her mouth again, "Nan Yi, how are you doing now?"

Brainstorming, Nan Yi secretly speculated that after such an opening remark, he would either borrow money or ask him to do something.

"It's not so good. I was assigned to work for a year, and then I returned to the village with the idea of ​​driving the common prosperity of the village. Who knows that the dream is good, but the reality is cruel. It's too difficult. It's too difficult.

Then something happened, and I couldn’t stay in the village any longer. It happened that our place was very close to Xiangtang, so I went to Xiangtang, and I owed a lot of debts to do it.

Originally, I thought that Xiangfang could pick up money everywhere, but who knew it would be very difficult to get around there, so I found a job as a babysitter for children, and it was the two of them..."

Nan Yi pointed to the guides Ruo Ding and Fan Hongdou, "They are my boss' daughters, and they are traveling in the country during the summer vacation, so I, as a nanny, will naturally follow them. By the way, I just met you. I have been here for two days. I found that it is very easy to make money here, so you must be doing well now.

Can you... can you lend me some money because we are alumni, not much, just 4,000 US dollars, and I will pay you back as soon as possible. "

After finishing speaking, Nan Yi looked at Qu Liuyan expectantly, pretending not to see that Qu Liuyan seemed to be stuffed with dung beetle.

"I...I." Qu Liuyan said stutteringly: "Nanyi, you have found the wrong person, I am not well off, and I can't help you at all. Sorry, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. "

"Student Qu, don't leave, 4000 is not available, a little less is fine, 2000, if not enough, 1000 is fine... Otherwise, 500..."

The more Nan Yi yelled, the faster Qu Liuyan's footsteps became. She walked out of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion in three seconds, found a corner, and laughed wantonly. Tears overflowed from her eyes as she smiled.

"Father, this auntie is pretty, why don't you help?" Nan Ruobing, who had been holding back for a while, hurriedly asked when she saw Qu Liuyan leave.

"How do you know that people want to ask me for help?"

"Hmph, I'm not stupid. I saw this aunt as soon as she entered the restaurant. At first I wanted to pretend I didn't see you, but then I turned back and made it clear what I wanted to ask of you."

"My family, Ruo Ping, is really smart. She has learned how to read words and feelings. We don't have to help everyone in trouble. Some people are worthy of help, and some people are not. The aunt just now is not worthy of help."

"Oh, like this."

"That's it. Okay, we can eat now." Nanyi saw the waiter coming over with a tray.

The eight major cuisines were not confirmed until the early 1990s. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the four major cuisines were used. Before the special ten years, there was no such thing as a cuisine, but the ×[place name] gang, the Sichuan gang, and the Guangdong gang. For example, Hangzhou cuisine is still according to the old saying.
