Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

The good thing in Carter's mouth is naturally Chinese food!

New York is not a small place like Douglas. As the most well-known city in the United States, it is also the richest city. New York has Chinatown. After eating baked pasta in Douglas for more than two weeks, Carter's heart has long faded away.

Now, he misses the beer hot pot of the past very much...

Although he couldn't find a hot pot restaurant, Carter still found a Sichuan-Hunan restaurant. There are basically no overseas Chinese students or new immigrants in the United States. Almost all of them came during the Republic of China or even earlier. Chinatown as a whole is still from Guangdong.

Or there are more people in Fujian, and most of the restaurants are Cantonese restaurants, and this kind of taste is more in line with the taste of ghosts.

Just like the future Michelin restaurant selection will be Waterloo in China, the tastes of foreigners are completely different from those of Chinese people. Maybe some people will shout "amazing" after eating Chinese food and fall in love with Chinese food uncontrollably, but the vast majority of foreigners,

In fact, I have no interest in Chinese food, especially spicy dishes like Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.

For example, right now, Melis looked at a table full of dishes and then looked at the fork in her hand, and her dissatisfaction became more and more intense. Especially when she saw the old man opposite waving his chopsticks in an extremely skillful manner.

This dissatisfaction becomes even stronger when you are flying up and down and eating to your heart's content:

"Carter!! This is the delicious thing you said?! How should 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 towards the bar:

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

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

The fat boss smiled and put a bowl of rice on the table, and chatted with Carter curiously. Foreigners are rare in Chinese restaurants in these days, and most of them are Chinese from Chinatown. Not to mention that this is Sichuan cuisine.

In the hotel, it was strange to suddenly meet a foreigner who felt like he was at home. His Chinese was not only standard, but also had a hint of dialect. Even the guests at the surrounding tables were curious and had kind smiles on their faces.

, looked over.

"Hey, I said I'm self-taught, do you believe me?"

While helping Melis put the vegetables into the bowl, Carter laughed heartily. As a Chinese who is a foreigner, this Chinatown really made Carter feel like he was home.

The Chinese signs that can be seen everywhere on the street, and this bustling little restaurant, are just like the Sichuan restaurant in front of his house. Even the smoke filling the small restaurant seems so friendly.

"By the way, boss, do you have any liquor here? If you're not busy, why don't we have a drink together?"

After pushing the rice bowl piled with dishes in front of Melis and gesturing for her to mix it with a spoon and eat it directly, Carter suddenly realized why he always felt like something was missing...

When I was a kid, I would go to that Sichuan restaurant and usually pack a piece of shredded fish-flavored pork to take home to satisfy my cravings. After I went to college, every time I went back home, it was upgraded to two dishes and a glass of wine. We have been old neighbors for many years.

, the boss also knew Carter, and when he was not busy, he would come out to add dishes, have a drink together, and chat.

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

"Hey! You kid, get on with it! Wait, someone else won't be able to drink some of the homemade doubanjiang. But it should get better soon. We've established diplomatic relations now, so we don't have to brew the doubanjiang ourselves in the future."

The talent of tolerance in the Chinese people's bones is undoubtedly evident in the fat boss. Seeing that this foreigner not only speaks Chinese well, but also knows the wonders of liquor. I can't help being hospitable. I walked briskly to the kitchen, and then

Twist out two small wine glasses and add a wine pitcher.

"You ordered a lot of food, it's enough for us to drink, so I won't add more food, because it would be a waste. If you eat for a while, I'll pay for the wine. Don't pay for the wine later."

After saying hello, the two of them pushed glasses and exchanged chips. Carter was curious about the lives of Chinese people in the United States now, and the fat boss was also curious about whether Carter, a foreigner, still understood the Chinese people's views. In short, there was no shortage of topics.

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

Along the way, it was okay when we were in Georgia. Our license plates clearly told everyone that we were our own people. But after leaving Georgia and arriving in central states such as Virginia, I sometimes passed by some small towns and parked my car.

Shopping at the supermarket.

That guy, everyone in the supermarket has to stare at him. Seeing that he is a foreigner, he seems to be afraid that he will cause damage... If a white man is like this, you have to replace him with a black man, replace him with an Asian, or just call the police.

Already...

Many of the unbelievable police situations in the U.S. police intelligence bulletins are the result of these people's troubles. The Angsa people are not only xenophobic, but they also always have the persecution paranoia of "always trying to harm the people."

I always feel that the government is oppressing us, outsiders want to bully us, etc.

Like the Fat Boss, even if he has a foreign face, as long as he talks the same words, drinks the same wine, and boasts the same bullshit, he is a good brother, completely different and even in sharp contrast.

"Brother, you seem to be very happy today? Is this Chinese food really that delicious? I think it's quite average, and it's so spicy. My throat feels a little sore now. And when did you learn Chinese? I

Why don’t you know anything?”

Drinking and bragging wasted time. The two of them came out late originally, and now the time is around nine o'clock. I don't know whether it is the drunkenness that makes people cowardly, or the security situation in New York during the day that gave Carter the confidence. Now Carter is taking Melis,

Take a leisurely walk and walk home slowly.

After all, you can’t drive if you drink, and you can’t drink if you drive~

"Hahaha, maybe you are not used to it. Once you get used to it, you will find that only Chinese food is what people eat. I'm not saying that Jenny's cooking is not delicious, but you will feel tired if you eat so many things every day.

? I’m just tired of eating.”

Melis has a lot of problems, but now she has enough time for her brother and sister to chat, and secondly, Carter is really happy now. The desire for food and drink is secondary, the sense of spiritual homecoming and satisfaction are the most important.

of.

Even Chinese food has a psychological effect that makes it feel very delicious. Carter is slowly feeling a little uncomfortable now, and his stomach and intestines are aching. Carter's body is not used to Chinese food, and it tastes like spicy Sichuan food.

Hunan cuisine is something that your stomach and intestines will definitely not be able to tolerate.

He loves spicy food and heavy food. This was Carter's taste in his previous life. Thinking about this Chinese food is Carter's psychological expectation, not the expectation of his tongue.

"As for knowing Chinese, hey, there are a lot of things you don't know. However, I also recommend that you learn Chinese. When you learn Chinese culture, you will find that they are actually the most tolerant people in the world.

The group is also the easiest group of people to deal with and the most hospitable group of people.”

"As long as you don't approach them with any ill intentions, they will treat you as their most distinguished guest and bring out their best things to entertain you."
