In this way, after about forty seconds of ringing, the phone calmed down.

"What the hell should I do?" Bai Lotian punched the table and patted his head depressedly.

"I'm really worried that the police are calling. Liu Qing spat out a puff of cigarette, "Blessing is not a curse, and you can't avoid it." Hit again, and you'll pick up, buddy. ”

As soon as Liu Qing's words fell, the mobile phone of "Ding Ling, Ding Ling" rang again.

"It's here again!" Bai Lotian jumped nervously like a thorn in his buttocks.

"Pick up!" Liu Qing roared, pointing to the phone, as if it was a **.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm Li Yanlan. Tonight, I invite the two fellows to dinner, give the two of them a pick-up, and please enjoy the light. ”

"I'm sorry to let you break the bank. ”

"What a lucky thing to be able to meet fellow villagers here, you're welcome. At 6 o'clock tonight, go to the 'Han Tung House' at 18 Chinatown, where the dumplings are very authentic, in the middle of Mott Street in Manhattan. Li Yanlan's silver bell-like voice came from the mobile phone, "You must call Mr. Kong, he is a handsome guy." ”

"Okay, okay, see you soon. Bai Lotian turned to Liu Qing, "Don't be suspicious, it makes me almost depressed." It's all going well, isn't it? Let's enjoy the exotic atmosphere, don't keep that face, like the whole world is a demon. ”

"It's better to be careful, this is what Director Zheng specially explained. Liu Qing muttered in a low voice.

When the subway arrives at Mott Street Station, the flow of people pours out of the subway and bursts out of the ground like a blowout, and the street immediately becomes bustling.

Several tall and strong policemen in black police uniforms were scattered in the corners of the street garden, their bellies were round, chewing gum in their mouths, carrying gun bags on their waists, and a black rubber roller, tossing and turning in their left and right hands, looking at the people on the street nonchalantly.

This is the largest Chinatown in New York, there is a white marble archway at the entrance of the street, engraved with three big red characters of "Chinatown", the ground is paved with rectangular bluestone slabs, the Chinese buildings on both sides, antique, most of them are hotels with conspicuous signs, there are also cultural shops, Chinese goods stores and Chinese training institutions, most of the people who come here are Chinese faces, of course, there are foreigners who want to enjoy Chinese food.

In the eyes of the two, this place is no different from the Yu Garden in Shanghai, and a trace of warmth wells up in their hearts.

The two chatted while enjoying the street view.

The street lamps with red lanterns on both sides of the street are like flames, and there is a feeling of "thousands of trees blooming on the night of the east wind". Under the shoulders of the streets, there are scattered stalls, most of which are small items, and people dressed like students stand there, shouting at customers and holding a stack of banknotes in their hands. Several cyclists glided past them and instantly melted into the crowd.

After walking for about a mile, a crimson, elegant Chinese building came into view.

There are two stone lions squatting on both sides of the door of the store, lifelike, mighty and naughty, there are ten big red lanterns hanging on the railing on the second floor of the street, and the name of the store is pasted with golden yellow on it, which means perfect, rich and auspicious, there is a plaque hanging at the highest place on the first floor, the book "Handong House", the font seems to be flowing water, and it is strong and powerful.

When the two were looking up, a woman's voice sounded in their ears, and it turned out to be Li Yanlan in the railing on the second floor, waving to them.

The two smiled and waved in response, then stepped up the marble steps and walked into the hotel.

The waiter at the door greeted the two of them with a "welcome" and walked through a long hallway, past the bar and the lobby, up the cypress wooden staircase, and came to the private room on the second floor with the inscription "Confucius Mansion".

After the waiter pushed the door open, he stood outside the door, like a slender phoenix tail bamboo, and gently swung his right hand down, making a "please enter" action.

There is also a small wooden door opposite the room that leads to the terrace with a vertical railing. Li Yanlan walked back to the room through the wooden door and greeted the two.

"It's great to be able to pick up the wind for the two fellows. As the saying goes, it's easy to cook, but it's hard to treat. Thank you for the light. She said with a grin.

"We often say that when a fellow sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears. Bai Lotian pulled Chang Yu and said, deliberately making a look like she was going to wipe her tears, which caused her to laugh.

She walked over to the wine cabinet, took a dark yellow wooden box, opened the lid, and took out the ceramic wine bottle inside.

"This is the hometown wine brought by my family, don't be polite to the two handsome guys. Obviously, Li Yanlan attaches great importance to today's reception banquet.

After seeing the sauce red wine bottle, Liu Qing exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is an authentic hometown wine---- 52 degrees of Confucian wine, good wine!"

"It's really rare to drink Confucian wine in a foreign country, haha, thank you beauty. Bai Lotian was also excited, knocking on the table and shouting.

After a while, various dishes came up one after another. According to the waiter, the chefs here are all invited from Handong Province, and the dishes are very authentic, such as: spicy carp from Weishan Lake, Jinnan's pork and Jiuzhuan large intestine, Jinning's Yongrou, Piaoxiang fish balls, Jinfu's golden hook silver bars and Confucian tofu and so on.

Listening to the introduction, the two couldn't help but be moved by Li Yanlan's attentive hospitality, and couldn't help but express their gratitude.

Li Yanlan opened the wine, took three wine glasses, and poured them full for Liu Qing and Bai Letian, while the bottom of her own cup was just below the bottom of the glass.

When the four hot dishes were served, she raised her glass,

"I'm glad to give the two fellows the wind, I won't say anything else, toast. ”

As she spoke, she tilted her head and drank the wine from her glass.

The two men glanced at each other, although they felt that it was a little difficult to drink dry in one gulp, but how could they show weakness in front of the woman, they both raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses, and then exhaled in unison.

Everyone tasted the delicious hometown food, and the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
