Chapter 230: Not yet
In the dining habits of Chinese people, chicken is an indispensable source of protein, and it is also the most accessible bird for ordinary people, so usually even in the most difficult and difficult times, a bowl of rich hen soup is the most direct embodiment of concern, and no matter how exaggerated the drama, it is not said that a bowl of mutton soup and beef soup are stewed to entertain guests.
As the most accessible poultry to the general public, the way to eat chicken is very different in the vast Republic of China.
And among them, fried is the traditional way of eating in Qi Province and Sichuan Province, so when Zheng Jianguo saw the three words fried chicken restaurant, he felt that there was a great possibility that this shop was opened by northerners, because if it was opened by people from Sichuan Province, the words Sichuan cuisine would be specially marked on the door.
But I didn't expect it to be a fellow villager from Shanxian County!
Is it really that coincidental?
After eating a meal, Zheng Jianguo also had a preliminary understanding of Lang Zaihua and Yang Zhen, both of them and this Liu Kaicai are self-employed on this street, Lang runs a fruit supermarket in China, and Yang Zhen opened a second-hand store, all of whom have just gotten rid of the life at the bottom and have not touched the threshold of the middle level, of course, this is on the surface.
As the old saying goes, the villagers have tears in their eyes when they see the villagers, but in Zheng Jianguo's memory, there is a saying called a shot in the back, not to mention that this immigrated when he was a child, so it was all in the early years of the Republic of China, and as far as he knew, the Liu family moved out at that time, except for leaving a clan to take care of the old house - in this way, it is too different from the real villager.
"Uncle, the tea is here—"
After the four of them were full of food and drink, Chu Qin brought a tea tray to the front and put down the pot and four cups, and then quickly removed the leftover soup bowl, Liu Kaicai picked up the pot and poured half a cup for the four cups when he walked away, Lang Zaihua picked up the cup and put it in front of Zheng Jianguo and said with a smile: "This is tea made from big bamboo leaves and honeysuckle, we have eaten so many spicy condiments before, just use it to clear heat and detoxify——"
"Yes, this doesn't hurt the spleen and stomach and has the effect of dispelling evil spirits-"
Zheng Jianguo picked up the cup and tested the temperature with his fingertips, and then he took a big gulp and swallowed it, and Liu Kaicai on the opposite side showed a bright smile, looked at him and said: "Jianguo, I will come to eat if I have nothing to do in the future, and it is not that I will not take your money and give you a twenty percent discount!"
"Then I'll come over when I'm free, but I don't know what it's like to be busy when I get to the hospital, and it seems from those seniors that I'm going to be busy without touching the ground-"
When he put down the cup, he smiled, but in Zheng Jianguo's smiling eyes, he stared at Liu Kaicai with a scrutinizing gaze, because there were too many coincidences in his life, and he was almost told by Cheng Mi to cross the sea when he came to the United States, and when he was looking at Liu Kaicai, Li Lijun's cheeks flashed in his mind, but there was not much unusual in his tone: "Anyway, then I will thank Boss Liu first——"
"You guy, if I didn't know that you were going to be a doctor, I would have given you a free bill, who of us doesn't know that this American doctor is the real money-making profession, but you can be regarded as a bitter and sweet come, come, drink tea. ”
Liu Kaicai picked up the pot again and poured tea for Zheng Jianguo, but Yang Zhen next to him opened his mouth to pick it up, and his fair old face was full of smiles and looked at Lang Zaihua and said: "Old goods, Boss Liu has given a meeting gift, what are you waiting for?"
"Just waiting for you old man to make a move, come, I'll take a look~"
Next to Zheng Jianguo, Lang Zaihua raised his eyebrows to make his single eyelids look much more comfortable, and Yang Zhen also smiled: "I'm doing second-hand trading, Jianguo, do you have any big items you want to buy?"
"This is not true, or if I have anything to ask for in the future, you will give me a 20% discount. ”
Seeing that the three of them were still so polite, Zheng Jianguo directly said his thoughts, but after speaking, he looked at the three of them with a smile: "It's just that if you find me in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a twenty-percent discount——"
"Oh?"
When Liu Kaicai was stunned, Lang Zaihua next to him couldn't help but smile directly: "Hehe, you guy, it doesn't have to be your department when we go to the hospital, besides, we don't have medical insurance, and we can't afford to go to a hospital in the United States——"
"Then we have to take care of this body, after all, we still need to use it for a long time. ”
Speaking of medical insurance, Zheng Jianguo also knows that this is a problem for all the world, and it is not these people who can get on the case in the United States, but a group with complete medical insurance.
"What you're saying is old-fashioned~"
Liu Kaicai glanced at Zheng Jianguo strangely, and the latter knew that he had missed the bottom, but he pretended not to care and smiled: "This is also from others, if you don't treat it well, it will make you uncomfortable." ”
The conversation between the four old men, Zheng Jianguo has not experienced this kind of experience for a long time, seeing that there is a possibility of being infected by the atmosphere between his words and demeanors at this time, he also opened his mouth to prepare to leave: "That, old men, I have to go back at this time, let's follow what I said before, how about AA today?"
"I'll invite you for this meal, these two old goods are stained with you, our fellow countrymen see fellow villagers, although I have forgotten the appearance of Shanxian, but from you I can once again realize that it is a piece of outstanding feng shui treasure land, I won't keep you today, when you are free, you will talk to me about the changes in Shanxian——"
Seeing Zheng Jianguo get up, Liu Kaicai stood up without retaining, and Lang Zaihua next to him followed up and said: "Jianguo, since you came to the United States, this Boss Liu's voice has become more and more open, I don't believe you go out and ask next door, the Chinese on this street are afraid that they will know that he and you are fellow countrymen, and when the time comes, they will come over and take a turn-"
"Okay, then I'm not busy just come over and take a walk, Lao Liu, I'll accept your hospitality, what about you, don't send it, my car is next to the archway, it's not far, I'm leaving~"
Zheng Jianguo watched the smile on Lang Zaihua's face disappear, and also had a preliminary understanding of his impression in the hearts of these people, and waved his hand to stop the three of them, and then went to the door and stepped on the bright lights to the car, opened the car and sat in before he wanted to start the fire, and then he felt the smell of wine floating between his noses, so he quickly took off his coat and threw it on the back seat.
Zheng Jianguo knew how to drink, but because he knew that he had the habit of talking in his dreams after falling asleep, he was afraid that he would stop his desire to drink because he was afraid that he would spit out the truth after drinking.
At this time, the test for drunk driving will require blood testing, and if you are found to have the smell of alcohol on your body and take it to the hospital-
"Toot-toot-toot-doo-"
As if by Zheng Jianguo's induction, the police lights suddenly lit up not far behind the Plymouth car speeding on the state highway, and then accompanied by the piercing siren to break the silent night, Zheng Jianguo had to stop under a bright street lamp with the direction light, and then took out the driver's license from behind the visor and spread it on the steering wheel, and a vigilant roar came from the falling window: "Put your hands on the steering wheel and don't move, I'm approaching you-"
"Okay, I'm here—put it away. ”
I just wanted to say that I was waiting for you, Zheng Jianguo swallowed half a sentence back, it was not a good intention to say this at this time, so he put his hand on the steering wheel and held his driver's license and waited until the policeman's face appeared outside the car window, without waiting for the other party to speak: "Mr. policeman, this is my ID, may I ask what law I violated?"
"Not yet, it's just that I smell alcohol on you, Zheng, Mr. Jianguo, you are suspected of drunk driving, I need to take you to the hospital for testing-"
The policeman's eyes swept over his driver's license, and when he saw that he was Asian, he smiled, but when his eyes fell on his address, he blinked: "Are you a teacher at Harvard? I see you live in a Harvard classroom dormitory—"
"Well, so to speak, I used to hold the title of special assistant at Harvard Medical School—"
Zheng Jianguo was a little unable to see the appearance of the policeman clearly by the flashlight in the other party's hand, but he did not hesitate to answer the other party's question, he didn't drink today, and the smell of alcohol on his body was also because he was smoked in the wine field for more than an hour, at this time, he couldn't compare with the police, and if he talked too much, he would not be remembered, and it would be worth the loss to make himself a little bad: "This is no problem, can I drive with you?"
"No, I can see that you won't be handcuffed because of your status as a special lecturer, but you have to get out of the car and sit in the back of my police car, and then your car will be driven to the hospital by my companions-"
The policeman quickly shook his head and refused to be good in the back, Zheng Jianguo had to nod speechlessly and said: "Please stand back, I'm going to open the door and get out of the car now, I don't want to get into trouble, I know you're working, well, okay, I'm going to open the door-"
Zheng Jianguo opened the car door and got out of the car according to Yunajiao's request, and saw the policeman's face and said curiously: "The process you do is very standard, have you been often inspected before? Or do you often drink and drive?"
"Oh, he's Zheng, the Harvard Medical School student—"
A young female voice came from the side, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party, and found that it was a young policewoman with a curious face, so he had to smile and say: "Well, yes, I'm Zheng Jianguo, the youngest medical student at Harvard Medical School-"
"Hey, how about you go and sit in the back of that police car?"
The policewoman looked at Zheng Jianguo and looked at the police car with flashing police lights, and the latter obediently went to the front of the car and opened the door and sat in, and then the policewoman turned around and said, "Partner, don't you really know this Zheng?"
"This, I also remembered it after hearing you, what, is there any trouble with him?"
The male policeman looked at the police car in the distance as he spoke, and when he saw Zheng Jianguo sitting honestly in the car, the female policeman next to him spoke: "The last time someone went to his residence to put a bug, he found it, and it turned out that there were rumors that the FBI intervened and let the county say that the bugging device was installed by that group of monkeys, and he was a big trouble, and I feel that the FBI is probably also staring at him——"
"The shit?"
When the male policeman said disapprovingly, he heard the female policeman continue: "I heard that he has a good relationship with Director Smith's daughter in private, and someone has seen the two of them playing together at the shooting range-"
"What, are you threatening me?"
The male policeman's white face flickered under the flickering of the police lights, but the female policeman obviously heard from his tone that she seemed to have done something bad with good intentions, and couldn't help but shrug her shoulders and glance at him and said, "I'm thinking about myself, although I don't want to continue to be a patrol officer, but I don't want to be a mounted policeman, are you satisfied?"
"Okay, let's do it this way, let's get to the hospital and let him call to see who he calls to come and greet us, of course, this is his real drunk driving situation, if he doesn't want to call, and there is no drunk driving or anything, then this matter should be a normal patrol incident, how about it?"
The tone of the male policeman obviously changed, he was not afraid that the FBI would find him when the time came, after all, there were still county bureaus, city bureaus and state bureaus on top, and it was just tickling to use cannons to hit him after so many layers.
However, when he heard that this product might have something to do with the county bureau director Smith, he still had some scruples, after all, it was better to be a county official than to be in charge of it now, and the director who really provoked him was angry, and he was sent to do the mounted police, which is a matter of people opening their mouths: "What is the name of Director Smith's daughter?"
"Yuna, Smith Yuna, the director has two daughters, and one is named Winro, who is only 7 years old. ”
The policewoman pulled out the Plymouth and sat in the driver's seat and said, and the policeman nodded and said, "Okay, let's take him to see if he has any drinks-"
"Hmm. ”
Seeing that her suggestion was ineffective, the female policeman also knew the character of this partner, and she had an inexplicable sense of justice in her bones, so she took blood in the hospital where the two cars were tested one after the other, and she spoke under the gaze of the female doctor who was full of curiosity and concern: "Zheng, now you can call someone and say that you have been brought to the hospital-"
"Calling someone? I'm not drunk driving—"
Zheng Jianguo's gaze swept over the face of Rebecca Chen, who was curious, he didn't expect to meet this sister here, of course, with the hesitation of who to call in his mind, the faces of Yuna and Charlie appeared.
Zheng Jianguo's first reaction was that he couldn't call the embassy, not to mention what the consequences would be if he made this call, just because the news that he was suspected of drinking and driving and was taken by the police for testing spread, it was difficult to make the invisible people in it crook their mouths, and as for Charlie, although he said that he had some connections in this kind of matter, when it came to the relationship with the police, it was not necessarily better than Yuna?
