Lisco's American Life
258. Candied haws
After Zhang Li finished eating the food in his hands, they continued to move forward. After walking for a while, Zhang Li excitedly pulled the corner of Lisko's clothes.
"Um?"
Lisko looked in the direction Zhang Li was pointing, and they found Sunny and Tina who were chatting with two handsome blond guys.
The two men and two women were holding beer glasses, and it was obvious that they were chatting happily. Tina's laughter was very big, and she was laughing forward and backward. The two majestic figures in front of her were shaking with their bodies, which aroused the laughter of the passing men
The whistle also made the two men opposite her stare firmly at her.
"Let's not go there."
Lisko observed for a while and felt that this might not be the time to disturb them. It was obvious that Tina and Sunny were very capable and should have made arrangements for tonight.
"All right."
There was a little bit of disappointment in Zhang Li's tone. She thought she could play with her best friend.
Although Lisko would not do something like Tina and Sunny, there is nothing to condemn. This is a normal concept for American young people. Before having a fixed boyfriend, he had several romantic relationships.
In normal things.
So he won't think there is anything wrong. Zhang Li still has the conservative thinking of the Chinese people, but this will not affect the friendship between Zhang Li and Li Sike. After all, everyone has different ways of living, whether it is cold or warm.
Know yourself.
Zhang Li held Liske's arm, and the two of them walked forward together. Since the two of them started dating, Zhang Li was busy with his studies, and Liske also had his own chores to be busy with, so they hadn't gone shopping together so warmly for a long time.
.
Li Ke saw a Chinese stall on the side of the road. Looking at the stall owner's proficient English, he also knew that this person must be of Chinese origin. Why did he think so? Because the sign on the stall was written in authentic English, "Candied Haw Lu."
Lisko sometimes admires the resilience of the Chinese people. It seems that you can find these people in every country in the world, living in a foreign country, using their own country's characteristic food and things to run their own lives.
Liske walked straight to the stall and took a look. The candied haws here have also evolved with the progress of the times, from the original hawthorn to many varieties.
Here are the most familiar fruits in Chinese streets and alleys, candied haws, with sugar-coated strawberries, cherry tomatoes, red grapes, and American-style fruit blueberries, shining brightly inside the glass partition of the stall.
The crystal clear special food also attracted the attention of foreigners passing by. Some people had eaten this before and skillfully picked out their favorite fruits with their money. Some people had never seen it before and looked at the stall owner's skillful operation with surprise.
Then, the candied hawsers were prepared one by one by the stall owner and filled into the vacancies inside the glass cover.
"Wow, candied haws. I want to eat it. I want the blueberry flavor that I've never tasted before."
Zhang Li was so happy when he saw his favorite food in this foreign country that he spoke to Lisko in Chinese and skillfully held his arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, buy it. Give us two skewers."
Lisko could never resist his girlfriend's gentle attacks. He generously took out his wallet and spoke to the busy stall owner in Chinese.
"Yo."
The stall owner was so busy that he was sweating profusely. He was wearing a white chef's hat and an apron with the words "China's No. 1" written in Chinese characters on it. When he heard the familiar accent, he immediately raised his head and saw it at a glance.
Li Ke and Zhang Li are a couple with outstanding looks.
"Chinese? Just take it and eat it. It doesn't cost any money."
The stall owner is a man in his forties who speaks with an authentic Beijing accent. He was very enthusiastic after seeing Zhang Li. He also met many yellow-skinned Asians today. He tried it several times in Chinese and said it was not Korean.
People are Japanese friends who have a good life in my childhood, and occasionally a few Chinese people are also banana people who speak proficient English. I have come here several times, hoping that a fellow countryman can say hello.
He was also a little disheartened.
Suddenly I heard Zhang Li speaking in Chinese, and my suppressed kindness suddenly surged up, showing great enthusiasm.
"How can this be done? You have to pay."
Lisko thanked him for his kindness, but it was not easy for everyone, especially the fellow villagers who couldn't take advantage of him, otherwise it would be a shame.
He reached out and took two bunches from the window, and handed them over, one bunch of tomatoes and one bunch of blueberries that Zhang Li asked for. The stall owner skillfully put the paper bag on it and pinched two wads of paper towels to wrap around the stick.
It's hard to clean up the icing on your hands.
Zhang Li also randomly put money into his hand and stopped his hand that wanted to return it without any refusal.
"I said I was treating my fellow villagers to a meal. Look at this."
The stall owner's name was Zhang Qi. They introduced each other's names and spoke of their family members. Seeing that there were many blond and blue-eyed foreigners lining up behind them, Lisko and the others could only leave temporarily and agreed to go to Lisko's stall to drink beer when they were free.
Pulled Zhang Li away from here.
After walking a few steps further, Liske's sharp eyes saw Zhang You and Li Feng half-hugging each other. Zhang Li was eating candied haws in his mouth and wanted to come forward to say hello, but Liske quickly stopped him.
"Um?"
Zhang Li's eyes revealed full of confusion.
"It's rare for uncles and aunts to be so warm, so let's not disturb them."
Not sure if it was the atmosphere today or the tourists nearby who set an example for them. Zhang You rarely hugged Li Feng intimately outside. This was a great improvement for his conservative self.
Li Feng was suddenly attacked by Zhang You. She originally wanted to break away, but when she felt Zhang You's strong arms and the gray-haired foreigner in front of her who was still hugging him, her body relaxed and she let Zhang You's actions with a red face.
, but my heart is full of sweetness and my face has a shy blush.
Even though they were an old couple, it was the first time that Li Feng felt Zhang You showing his emotions outside.
Zhang Li playfully handed the candied haws in his hand to Li Sko, then with syrup in the corner of his mouth, he looked at his parents with interest and took out his phone to take several photos.
"When I get home during the Chinese New Year, I will print out this kind of photo and hang it in the living room during the New Year's Eve dinner. My dad's face will look very good then."
The eccentric Zhang Li looked at the photos he took with a sense of bad humor.
Lisko hadn't expected that she would do this, and he had a strange look on his face, and then he started to look forward to it. He also wanted to see what his old-fashioned father-in-law's face looked like at that time.
After walking around, the two of them returned to the beer stall. The cowboys from the ranch had also come over at this time. Everyone was wearing special cultural shirts. David was busy picking up beers from tourists in front, and Jimmy on the other side was collecting money.
, other cowboys were either carrying beer or busy getting ice cubes, no one was idle.
