Section 10: A BBQ to Solve Thousands of Sorrows

The door of the bar across the street opened, and a burly man walked out with a girl in his arms.

"Let me go!" the girl screamed.

"Get out of here!" The big man pushed hard, and the girl staggered and fell into the garbage pile on the roadside.

Liu Zheng was in a bad mood, but his character dictated that he could not turn a blind eye to it no matter what, so he crossed the road and stood in front of the big man.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The big man didn't bother to explain to the man in front of him, so he went back to the store cursing.

The girl lay in the garbage and did not get up, murmuring: "I was going to leave... You didn't drive me away, I left on my own... Ouch, ugh!!"

She began to vomit loudly.

Liu Zheng walked over and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"

The girl was still vomiting, but she just waved her hand to him. After a while, she took a deep breath and regained her composure.

A dirty head popped up from the other end of the garbage pile. It looked like a homeless man. He looked at the girl who was still sitting on the garbage, sniffed hard and shouted: "Oh my god, you stink."

"Yeah, I'm just a piece of shit, and of course shit stinks." The girl looked like she was being smashed. She took Liu Zheng's extended hand and stood up.

The girl is very tall, not much shorter than Liu Zheng when she stands up. Although she is dressed plainly and her hair is messy on her face, under the dim street lights, you can still tell that she is very young and her appearance is very good.

Beauty. If a girl like this were in China, she would definitely have many suitors. Anyway, she would never be thrown out of the bar like this.

She must have drunk a lot of wine, and her whole body smelled strongly of alcohol. She probably hadn't changed her clothes for a long time, and she looked slovenly.

Liu Zheng asked again: "Are you okay?"

The girl leaned against the street lamp post and replied feebly: "You don't have to worry about it, just leave me alone for a while."

Since she had no big problem, Liu Zheng shrugged and prepared to walk away, but before he took two steps, he heard the girl calling from behind: "Wait a minute."

He turned around and saw the girl looking at him with her head tilted: "You have been standing on the side of the road. You are not a homeless man or a drunkard... Then who are you?"

Liu Zheng could still understand this simple English conversation, so he lied casually: "I, uh, just took a walk."

"Take a walk?" The girl walked over slowly, with a face full of disbelief. This was her professional habit, and she was skeptical about everything. But she soon felt relieved. This was the East Village, and Tompkin was next to it.

Si Plaza Park, not far to the south is Chinatown. It is not unusual for this Asian man with black hair and eyes to walk here.

It’s been so long, it seems like that incident had a profound impact on me!

The girl pushed the hair away from her face with her hands, patted Liu Zheng's shoulder carelessly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's really rare to have such a warm-hearted person in New York. How about I buy you a drink? Let's go find a middle school

Restaurant..."

Liu Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He marveled at the bold enthusiasm of European and American girls, and was also surprised by what this girl who was obviously born in the 90s just said. He couldn't help but said: "Ah, are you still drinking?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"That's not true..."

"Then let's go! Mother-in-law, let's go have a drink!" The girl grabbed Liu Zheng and walked in the direction of Chinatown. Even though this girl has thin arms and legs, she is really strong. Liu Zheng's arms were touched by the girl

It was clamped under the armpit and couldn't break free for a while.

Not to mention, when he was in a particularly bad mood, Liu Zheng really wanted to get drunk, but the person drinking with him couldn't be Luo Zhijian or Danny. Too many things happened today, and a shocking secret was involved.

He really didn't know how to speak to them. Instead, it would be most appropriate to drink with the girl next to him, whom he had never met before.

Thinking about how he escaped from there half an hour ago, and now he is half-pushed and half-pulled back to Chinatown by a girl he just met. This stupid fate is really funny!

Perhaps because he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, or perhaps because he had figured out something, Liu Zheng felt inexplicably better and took the initiative to find a place to eat.

The "New China City" to the east of Chinatown is the area with the most complicated personnel. There are basically Chinese from all over the country, so it has become a gathering place for Chinese food. They easily found a restaurant that looked good.

The owner of the night food stall is an old couple from Fujian. They have lived in the United States for many years and their English is better than Mandarin. Of course, Fujian people's Mandarin is not standard...

Barbecue can be said to be Liu Zheng's favorite street food, but for a girl, it is the first time in her life that a big girl has sat in a sedan chair, so everything she sees is very new. Strange to say, just now she was standing still looking drunk.

He looked unstable, but now he's almost back to normal.

Liu Zheng ordered some skewers with relatively fresh ingredients, and returned to his seat carrying a box of beer and a bottle of Erguotou. The girl's excitement had not passed yet, and she asked in surprise: "This is my first time here.

There is a place to eat. For Chinese food, I have eaten curry, ramen, fried rice, tofu, and hot pot, my favorite! The food here is different from our barbecue, what is it called? "

"To be precise, curry belongs to India, not Chinese food." Liu Zheng corrected her misunderstanding, "What we want to try today is our Chinese 'barbecue'."

He taught the girl how to say "BBQ" in pinyin, then pointed to the liquor on the table and said, "Do you want to try our Chinese liquor again?"

"White wine, is the wine white?" The girl unscrewed the cap of the bottle, looked into the mouth of the bottle curiously, and put it under her nose to smell, "Wow, this wine smells very special, different from whiskey.

I don’t know if it tastes good or not.”

Liu Zheng poured a small cup and handed it to the girl. She didn't know what was going on, so she raised her head and poured the whole cup into her throat. As expected, she sprayed it all out from her nose.

"Cough cough cough cough cough...!"

The girl choked so much that tears and snot flowed out of her nose. Liu Zheng apologized quickly and wiped her with paper. After working for a while, he sat down again.

The girl no longer dared to despise the liquor. Liu Zheng poured her some more. She had the first experience and knew that she should drink it slowly, so she didn't make a fool of herself again. She left the glass in her hand.

Looking to the right, the expression is very novel: "My whole body is feeling warm, and this feeling is very comfortable... It seems that I should prepare more of this."

She put down the cup and stretched out a hand to Liu Zheng: "My name is Jessica Jones, you can call me Jessie."

Liu Zheng shook hands with her: "My name is Liu Zheng, nice to meet you."

Jessica chuckled and asked, "Where did you learn English? We never greet each other like this, haha."

Liu Zheng is very embarrassed. The peak of his English proficiency was during the college entrance examination, and he has almost forgotten it now.

At this time, the proprietress came over with the meat skewers that had been grilled before. The sizzling pork belly and sausages were sprinkled with a fine layer of cumin and chili powder. The aroma soon spread.

After lunch in the hotel, she didn't eat anything again. She was already very hungry. Jessica spent the evening drinking and didn't eat much. The two of them moved their index fingers and didn't care to talk.

I started chewing the skewers on the table.

It wasn't until the plates on the table were all empty that Jessica leaned back on her chair and let out a sigh of contentment.

"I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time." Her eyes were a little lonely.

Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, taking a sip himself. Jessica picked up the glass again and drank it habitually, but this time she didn't squirt out, but puffed up her cheeks and forcefully took it into her mouth.

She swallowed all the white wine. It was like a line of fire burning from her throat to her stomach. There was some pain, but more of it was pleasure. She enjoyed the burning sensation and found that she seemed to like this feeling.

Perhaps only this kind of intense stimulation can make her feel that she is not a zombie.

"Sh*t..." Jessica shook her head slightly and cursed, her eyes sparkling, and she didn't know if she was choked by liquor again.

She blinked hard, adjusted her mood, changed the subject and asked, "Liu, do you live in Chinatown?"

"Me? I'm just a tourist." Liu Zheng continued to lie.

"Come on, don't lie to me. Tourists don't wander around on the road in the middle of the night. The security here is not very good." Jessica sneered at Liu Zheng's words, "I am a P.I. with a lot of professional experience, you know

PI?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Persoor is a private detective." Jessica took out a camera from her bag and waved it at Liu Zheng, with a mocking smile on her face, "New York is a city that never sleeps, full of excitement, and people here also like to be everywhere.

Be merciful. Ah, I'm not complaining. The more people cheat, the better my business will be."

Liu Zheng didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but she was probably a character similar to Mouri Kogoro. Liu Zheng shrugged.

Jessica just asked casually, not intending to get to the bottom of Liu Zheng's background, so she continued to talk about her work: "A large part of this business is to explore the darkest side of people's hearts, but I am very good at this. My clients hire me

Go search for filth, and I will find it for him. Although he is not happy doing this, I am not happy either, but there is nothing I can do about it, it’s work.”

"So is this the reason why you are unhappy today?" Liu Zheng asked. He found that Jessica's eyes became dim when she talked about her work. This was not like what she said she was "very good at".

"There are too many unhappy things. This is not the beginning and it cannot be the end." Jessica picked up the cup and took another big sip.

The two of them chatted in front of this small square table. Because Liu Zheng's English was not very good, he was just a listener most of the time.

He didn't understand most of what Jessica said, but he still roughly understood some of the content.

She originally had a happy family, her parents were employees of Stark Industries, and she had a naughty but cute younger brother. When she was very young, their family had a car accident on the way to Disneyland, and she was left alone.

She survived. She grew up in a boarding house, and her adoptive mother was a violent control freak. This past incident had a great impact on her, causing her to be addicted to alcohol, have a bad temper, and suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

After graduating from high school, she did not go to college. Instead, she opened a private detective agency in Hell's Kitchen, specializing in helping others investigate extramarital affairs.

Later, a villain named "Killgrave" who secreted a mental virus took control of her. He did many bad things and even killed people. She tried her best to get rid of that person, and later even

Killed Kilgrave with her own hands, but the eight months of imprisonment and abuse still caused irreversible mental damage to her, making her even more world-weary and reclusive.

Just when Jessica decided to break the pot and live in confusion for a lifetime, a man walked into her field of vision. He was majestic and gentle, giving Jessica a lot of comfort. Just when she decided to step out of the haze and try

When she was living like a normal woman, she discovered during an investigation that the deceased wife whom the man loved so much was killed by herself...

The more Liu Zheng listened, the more shocked he became. This girl's life was simply a history of tragedy. No wonder her whole person exuded a dark and decadent temperament. How strong her spirit must be to not be driven crazy.

"We have an old saying in China, which is that 'nine times out of ten life will be unsatisfactory.' When people live in this world, they have to endure pain." Liu Zheng clinked glasses with Jessica.

Jessica drank it all in one gulp and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have never encountered anything good in my life."

"Don't think so much, this will definitely pass. We in China also have a saying, 'There is nothing that a barbecue can't solve. If so, then have two!' Come and have a drink."

Jessica was amused, and I have to say, she looked so pretty when she smiled.

The two of them ate and chatted, and several hours passed before they knew it. Three liquor bottles were thrown under the table, and a whole box of beer was drunk. Liu Zheng had internal energy to protect his body, and the impact of alcohol on him was minimal.

Although Jessica was a girl, her drinking style of drinking until the glass was dry meant she drank no less than Liu Zheng. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the table.

When Liu Zheng went to check out, he apologized to the old couple and felt very embarrassed for delaying their entire evening.

"It's okay, it's okay. We don't sleep much to begin with, so just take a nap for a while. Boy, your girlfriend is so pretty!" The old man was in high spirits and laughed.

Liu Zheng smiled awkwardly and did not refute. There was no point in pretending to be cool at this time. Besides, he would be looked down upon when he helped Jessica go.

He looked back at Jessica, who was sleeping soundly, and scratched his head helplessly.
