Chapter Twenty-Five: The Slowly Unfolding Talent for Language
Lin Zitan followed Zhang Jing, and as soon as he crossed the road to the intersection of the municipal park, he saw Master Zhang stretching out his hand to stop a taxi.
The driver is still an old Mo, it is estimated that he has just arrived in the United States, and Zhang Jing can't understand the broken English, and the two of them haven't said clearly where they want to go for a long time.
"Let's go to No. XX Elizabeth Street, near Canal Street," Lin Zitan said in Spanish.
"What, when will you know Spanish?" When Zhang Jingzheng looked shocked, Lao Mo had already nodded and said that he knew, and got out of the car and quickly opened the back door for the two of them.
"Hurry up and get in the car, you won't be allowed to park here!" Lao Mo glared at Zhang Jing, but he was respectful to Lin Zitan.
"Uh... Didn't I tell you before?, my dad is a professor in the Department of Foreign Languages!" Lin Zitan explained lightly.
"But... Is the professor of the foreign language department teaching Spanish? Alas? No, right? You TM English is much better than mine! Is it genetically inherited or your father has been teaching you at home since you were a child, I feel that what you said is very authentic, just now!"
Before Zhang Jing could react from the shock just now, the car had already passed the municipal building, and because there were too many one-way streets, they actually took more than 10 minutes to get to the place.
Lin Zitan didn't say that it was genetics or that it was taught by his father, looking at Zhang Jing in shock, he only smiled back, gritted his teeth at Zhang Jingqi, and said that he must slaughter him, a hidden scholar, at noon.
As soon as the two of them got out of the car, they saw Michelle and Lin Shan already waiting there with a dignified attitude.
Today, the two little girls seem to have put on makeup, and they look a little more beautiful than a mature girl, but a little less energetic as a young girl. But this does not affect their youth and beauty. Zhang Jing saw that the two of them had already walked to Michelle's side quickly, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, his leg just removed the splint and he didn't fit in, and he walked too slowly!" Zhang Jing said with a smile pointing to Lin Zitan, who was innocent of the blame.
"Yes, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time!" Lin Zitan said apologetically.
"It's okay, I knew we were waiting for you in the hospital, but there are a lot of people in the restaurant at this time, so you have to come and queue up in advance, you came just in time, our place is almost there." Lin Shan said with a happy smile.
"Isn't it? You have to queue up at noon? Is it really so hot?" Zhang Jing looked inside suspiciously, and found that there were really a few tables of customers waiting at the bar inside.
"This restaurant has been very popular recently, and the food is delicious, it seems to be on the New York Times or some kind of food show, anyway, there are dozens of advertisements that many people come to visit. Michelle looks like she's seen the world.
"Have you been here before?" Zhang Jing didn't know which nerve was wrong after hearing this, so he asked with a little surprise.
"No, I also listened to what others said~" Michelle replied curtly.
"Oh, it's time for us, I'll go inside and ask~" Lin Shan volunteered to walk into the restaurant in order to break the embarrassment.
Lin Zitan stood at the door, suddenly felt an inexplicable smell of gunpowder, coughed and said, "I'll go in and have a look." ”
Who knew that Lin Zitan almost collided with Lin Shan who was about to come out as soon as he entered, in order to prevent the little girl from falling, Lin Zitan hurriedly reached out and helped the other party.
"Hey, you're okay!" Lin Zi hurriedly said after helping Lin Shan, who almost fell.
"Uh, it's okay, thank you!" As she spoke, Lin Shan blushed embarrassedly.
"I'll go, this girl won't like Lin Zitan's stinky skin, right?" Lin Zitan looked at the girl's face and couldn't help but think narcissistically.
"Hey, no, you can't! Isn't this a mess of LUN? No, TM this relationship is a bit messy, and besides, I can't like Lin Shan!"
When Lin Zitan was sad here, he saw that Michelle had already pulled Zhang Jing and walked in, and the two of them seemed to be a little awkward, but obviously Michelle had used some method to coax the arrogant Zhang Jing, although his old man was still pretending to be reluctant, but Michelle did not shy away from hanging her hands on his arms to persuade something.
"Shanshan, are you in line?" As soon as Michelle came in, she saw Lin Zitan and Lin Shan standing there awkwardly, and winked at her friend, but pretended to be casual when she asked.
"Well, I was about to call you there, and the seats have already been arranged. After Lin Shan finished speaking, she hurriedly fled and walked towards the restaurant.
"Yo he~ Not bad, buddy!" Zhang Jing watched this scene, and couldn't help but bump Lin Zitan's shoulder, with a lewd expression that was optimistic about you.
"What are you thinking!" Lin Zi was embarrassed and quickly followed. Leaving Michelle and Zhang Jing there to hand over their looks, leaving behind the unhappiness between the two just now.
The four of them, led by Qitai, came to a large table against the wall, and the noise around it was almost full, and only one or two small tables were probably guests who couldn't sit down and waited. As soon as the four of them sat down, a Qitai asked them what they wanted, and the four of them said ice water, and they left quickly.
"This business looks really good!" Zhang Jing looked around, and the buzzing voice was accompanied by the sound of knives and forks colliding. I didn't expect there to be so many people at lunchtime, and such a restaurant is even more crowded at night.
Some foreigners also like to follow the trend, they like to eat in this kind of restaurant with many people, even if they have to wait in line for an hour or two, they are not tired, fortunately they chose to eat at noon, or with Zhang Jing's temper, they would have turned around and left.
“。。。。。 This time, no one answered him at the table, and Michelle, the only one who knew more, also learned to be smart this time, pretending to be the first time to come, and a pair of beautiful eyes were also looking around, wanting to see what everyone else was ordering to eat.
"Oops, look at their plates are so big, I don't know how to order this~" Michelle continued to perform while flipping through the menu in her hand.
"There's lobster, crab, and abalone, and you have to see how many pounds you have, and how many abalones there are, and there's shrimp and scallops, and you don't like seafood and steak."
Lin Zitan looked through the menu, and kept complaining in his heart, TM These things are really not cheap, two two-headed abalone will cost more than $100 after adding taxes, and if you buy it in the market, it will only cost one! There are also lobsters, the smallest 2 pounds for a customer, also cost 49.99 US dollars, and about 2 pounds in the seafood market are only 9.99 US dollars a piece.
In this way, all four people eat the cheapest lobster, and it will cost two hundred more for a meal. However, thinking of Zhang Jing's Japanese food of more than 300 US dollars last time, he still chose to eat this.
"I want to try this multi-head abalone, what about you?" Zhang Jing pointed to what he wanted, and turned his head to ask Michelle.
"I want to eat a big crab, Shanshan, you can order lobster, and we can share it later." Michelle finished ordering her own, and did not forget to help the hesitant Lin Shan make a decision.
"What about you, Daniel, I remember that you love lobster the most, or you can order a bigger one, and you can eat abalone with me later!" Zhang Jing said shamelessly, he was afraid that his two big abalone would not be able to eat at all, and he was afraid that Lin Zi would be worried about the money and order the smallest lobster.
"Okay, I'll order a 5-pound one!" Lin Zitan said and closed the menu in his hand, looking at Zhang Jing's jaw on the side, Lin Zitan thought to himself that Lao Tzu is rich now, he can't still live like a beggar, and he can't treat himself badly anymore when he can enjoy it.
Zhang Jing glanced at the 5-pound lobster on the menu showing $99.99, scolded in his heart, and silently closed the menu.
The waiting time for food to be served is always long, especially when your stomach is already hungry. Michelle has a cheerful personality and people can come to trouble, so she immediately chose a topic that everyone could participate in.
"Look, my nails look good today!" Michelle said as she put her hands in the middle and asked the men in the room for their opinions.
"It's beautiful!" Lin Zi praised with a sigh of relief.
"Guess who did it?" Michelle continued mysteriously.
"Didn't you wipe it yourself? You still found someone to do it?" Zhang Jing didn't know what was wrong recently, since he came back from Boston last time, he was reminded by Lin Zitan, he always felt that Michelle was not as innocent as she said, so he couldn't help but look at her with scrutinizing eyes.
