The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 64: Lively Chinatown

   "Don't worry, boy, we will have to go to a higher place later, and wait for 20 to 30 minutes, it will be dark, the outside will be more beautiful!"

   Jon said something specially when he saw that the kid always wanted to go out.

   Jianan was still obedient, and after her uncle translated the words of the American uncle, she stayed honest for a while.

   After waiting for a while, everyone went to the elevator again. There was no need to line up this time. Not many people went to the 102nd floor.

"In fact, the night view of the Empire State Building goes to the 102nd floor. Compared with the 86th floor, there are not many people going up. But I have been to the Great Wall and heard that I want to climb the highest place, so I still have to go. ."

   Jon explained: The 102nd floor sightseeing ticket is a bit more expensive than the 86th floor, and it is limited. Since the scenery is almost the same, there are not many people who "take it to the next level".

   When they came to the observation deck on the 102nd floor, everyone was amazed!

   The night view of New York is so beautiful! The lights are blurred, the night is dim, the tall buildings are like forests, the traffic is like lines, and the light and shadow are like dreams!

   There is a coin-operated telescope on the observation deck, 50 cents per time. Zhang Li didn't hesitate to throw a coin. Such a large frame telescope reminded her of the large military telescope on the southwest border post. Kind!

   In the distance, there is a lighted ship passing by on the Hudson River, which is just right to see with a binoculars.

   But the girl is a layman: In fact, what you see at night is a panoramic view, and Zhang Nan knows that it is useless to play!

   But since his girlfriend has this preference, Zhang Nan took out the two 50 cents in her pocket and gave it to her, so that she could see enough!

   Looking at the night scene against the cold wind alone, Chen Xiaoxu’s voice came from her ears unknowingly: "Thank you Anan, this place is so beautiful!"

  Zhang Nan turned his head and smiled, and saw Zhang Li still playing with the huge telescope on the side, playing with it, so he said to Chen Xiaoxu: "Want to stay in the United States?"

Chen Xiaoxu stretched out her hand to close her hair that was blown away by the wind, and said, "No, I found out after I came here, but I just wanted to come out and have a look. Everything here is so novel, but even stranger. If you can only come and live when you think about it. It’s best for a while, just stay in America? I don’t think I will get used to it. It’s not suitable for me here."

   said, pointing to the brightly lit Twin Towers not far away, "Is that the tallest building in the world?"

   "No, it used to be, but now it's just the tallest building in New York."

   "It's magnificent!"

   Chen Xiaoxu is a little strange.

   "But it will collapse." Zhang Nan said unconsciously.

"Um?"

   "I am a magic stick, I have this hunch."

   Chen Xiaoxu shook his head, smiled and expressed his disbelief.

   "In fact, the Empire State Building is the architectural miracle of Americans. It was not easy to build such a skyscraper in that era!"

   "Then you still want to buy it? I haven't saved that money in a hundred lifetimes."

   Chen Xiaoxu doesn't know how much this building is worth, but it must be very expensive!

   "When I buy the Empire State Building, you and Zhang Li will marry me together, but don't forget! I will use this building as your betrothal gift, then isn't it yours?"

   Looking at Zhang Nan's serious expression, Chen Xiaoxu smiled, and smiled happily, "Let’s talk at that time! Remember before we are 25! Otherwise, you can only take Ali."

   I didn't study this issue much, and it didn't take long for everyone to get cold enough to go downstairs.

   Because I did not expect that there were not many people in line at the Empire State Building today, it was only 7 o'clock after leaving the building (to visit the Empire State Building, it is normal to queue for two hours before reaching the observation deck on the 86th floor.), I just went to eat first.

   Except for the brother-in-law's family and the children after dinner, Char Kemis accompanied him by taxi back to the hotel. The two men then went to the bar to meet, and the others went directly to the bar.

  The big team didn't return to the hotel until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

   got up early the next morning and drove the first boat to visit the Statue of Liberty. Because it was early, I climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty to take a look.

   In the afternoon, I went to Chinatown in Lower Manhattan at the southern end of New York City!

  Unlike imagined, not only Chinese people go shopping here, but there are many people of all skin colors!

   And today is New Year's Eve, the streets are crowded!

   Director Guo, they thought at first that this Chinatown connection was probably a long street, but only when they got there they discovered that the so-called Chinatown is actually a large block!

   Its area is centered on Be Street, including Kennedy Street, Baiye Street, Disclosure Street, and Lafayette Street. It is very large!

It’s only a stone’s throw away from East Broadway Avenue and the New York City Government. It is also only a stone’s throw away from the world-famous international financial center Wall Street. It is also close to Broadway, the World Performing Arts Center. The strategic location makes Chinatown a pivotal place in New York. !

   There are shops on both sides of the street, except that the Chinese characters on the signs are in traditional Chinese and the Chinese speak Cantonese, which is no different from in China.

   and more prosperous! The flavor of the year is also strong!

   There are festive red everywhere, and Zhang Nan and the group even watched the lion dance performance on the street for a while, it was very exciting!

   However, Guan Xingquan's eyes sharpened when he saw the lion dancers remove the lion heads.

  How do the lion dancers look like a serious person, with a haughty expression on their faces. Even if it’s New Year’s Eve, everyone ran out on the street to dance a lion to participate in community celebrations, but at a glance they still don’t look like good people.

"Isn’t it the Chinese gangster? It’s not surprising. Over the years, it’s said that they have stabilized a lot, and they don’t collect much protection fees. They all go to drug trafficking and poison the old beauty. Hehe. However, they have also maintained the law and order here. The Italian Mafia next door had fought and drove Mexicans and Vietnamese gangs out of Chinatown. In recent years, the police have also tightened their control. It turns out that the Chinese people's life here is not stable.

   And you see, when the New Year comes, these people will come out to enliven the festive atmosphere and follow the rules. "

   Everyone thought it was Jon who told Zhang Nan before, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com does not doubt that it has it.

   Zhang Nan speaks Yanxian dialect, even Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu can’t understand it, the correct password!

   Of course, if a gang member understands it and causes a conflict, it is absolutely impossible: far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, it is really a fellow villager who sees fellow villagers with tears in his eyes!

   That night, in a restaurant named "Greater China" in Chinatown, John Basloon and Jack Jelenhal formally gave a banquet to Zhang Nanzhong and his party.

   A luxurious box full of antique Chinese flavor, a huge round table can seat more than 20 people!

   In addition to the four American friends I knew, there were also three other senior staff from Xinlixiu Luggage Company. Everyone could use chopsticks proficiently. It seems that these old Americans often enter Chinese restaurants.

   Needless to say, the atmosphere of a meal is mellow and festive! The only discordant place is: Comrade John, who is not able to measure himself, was driven back!

   In the middle of the meal, the restaurant owner heard that the ghost guy who booked this box was hosting a business delegation from the mainland of the motherland. The owner came to the box to toast the wine.

Although there have been a lot of mainland students studying in New York since last year, there are working mainland students in this restaurant. The elderly boss did not stage a show in 1981 when China and the United States had just opened air services and the crew visited Chinatown, but they were hugged by elderly Chinese. The scene of crying with a headache.

   However, it was the first time that guests of the government-backed inspection group appeared in this restaurant.

   For this reason, the owner of the restaurant boldly stated that today’s banquet is discounted at 20%!

   This is New Year's Eve. It would be good if the price is not increased. It seems that the owner of this ancestral home of GD is still a patriotic Chinese American.
