Chapter 963: Happy New Year

After eating, the group rested for a while, and then came out of the South Gate and came to Central Park in New York.

It's actually a nice place, with a bustling community surrounded by a quiet park with lakes and forests.

With waterfowl frolicking, tall oak forests and grassy lawns, a zoo, sports and playgrounds, it's one of the world's largest man-made natural landscapes known as New York's backyard.

The group walked to the Central Park Zoo, just in time for the final sea lion show of the afternoon.

The zoo is divided into a sea lion performance area, a polar area, and a rainforest area.

Sea lions are also super smart and funny animals, and a group of babies are very fun to watch the smooth and shiny sea lions swimming freely in the pool through the glass of the aquarium.

Wang Meixian pointed to a sea lion lying motionless at the bottom of the water: "Uncle Erpi, what's wrong with that sea lion?

If it weren't for Li Junge's sensitive six senses and being able to detect the subtle rhythm of the sea lion's body, he would have thought that this sea lion was a dead sea lion.

But he couldn't figure out what was going on now: "Uh...... Surely not dead, or is it ...... Asleep?"

Another sea lion swam into view, and then suddenly its eyes closed, and its limbs relaxed, like a rubber water bag, and it sank to the bottom of the water.

Wang Meixian exclaimed: "Oh, this one too!"

Li Junge can be sure this time: "Take a nap! I'll wake up in a while." ”

Wang Meixian smiled on the glass and looked at the two motionless sea lions worriedly, the posture of the back head was even more strange, and when she sank to the bottom, the back half of her body just rested on a reef at the bottom of the water, and hung directly in an upside-down posture.

At this time, a few small fish suddenly fell on the water above, and the staff began to feed them, and they saw that the two sea lions came to life in an instant, and swam towards the food quickly.

Wang Meixian was so frightened that she took two steps back with an "ouch", and then she giggled: "Sea lions are so fun!"

After the sea lion area is the polar region, the little penguins are not afraid of people, living in the simulated Antarctic Circle, and visitors are only separated by a layer of glass, as if they can reach out and touch this cute little thing that lives on the top of the earth.

One moment they clumsily clapped their short feet and squeezed together for a meeting, and the next they scrambled to jump into the water like a baby in the water. In Li Junge's words, if the sea lions are a whole group of teasers, then the penguins are a whole group of neurotics.

The biggest selling point is the polar bear, the snow-white polar bear walks between the simulated valley water, and the babies look through the safety glass on it.

Many foreign parents brought their children to watch here.

Listen to the doll chanting "Po" in a childish voice...... Po…… Polar Bear", Ah Yin and Liang Huili were almost cute, and they didn't even care about the polar bear, squatting down to interact with the dolls.

Both of them have excellent images and temperaments, and the parents are also open-minded, and several parents even invited them to take photos with their children with them.

There are two parents who also took up the parenting scriptures with the two, and the foreigners do not look old in the eyes of the Orientals, but they only feel that it is not easy to bring such a big family of children, and it is not easy to be born, there must be some unique parenting tricks.

made the two of them red-faced, and these foreigners were too eye-catching.

Wang Meixian is a headache for Li Junge, but she has her own unique charm among the children, and after a while, she became the head of several half-grown foreigners.

So the foreign parents simply went to the rainforest area with Li Jiagou and his party.

The babies of Lijiagou in this place can be very familiar, planting a variety of tropical plants and flowers with diverse shapes, among which there are not a few orchid plants, several glass delivery rooms in Lijiagou Orchid Farm, the scale is grander than here, and the flowers are more beautiful than here.

Only now do foreigners know that these people are not natives of New York, but tourists from China, and they can't help but be surprised, don't you China have only one child as a family?

When Li Junge explained to them clearly, the foreigners were even more surprised, you are from the hometown of Purple Cat? Ah, you won't be here for the Oscars, will you? "Big Purple Cat" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, and the children and we liked it very much.

So Li Junge had no choice but to do some publicity, and then took out some small trinkets such as cartoon design keychains of the eldest and second child from his backpack and gave one to each foreigner.

Finally, I took a photo with the parents who were surprised and inexplicable, and everyone guessed to break up and say goodbye.

On the way back, Li Junge smiled like a fox who stole a chicken: "I really didn't expect that the name of the overlord discoverer is quite good abroad......

I found a steak shop and invited the babies to eat a steak, and the babies were also tired and arranged for them to go to bed early.

The next few days will be filled with New York City experiences, the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty on Manhattan Island, and the cultural experiences will be jazz, Broadway operas, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, ......

There are also a few major cities along the way north to the Great Lakes and back.

Next up is the Long Island Family Farm Tour, where Li Junge Ayin Liang Huili learns deeply, where the children experience milking cows, cutting alfalfa, feeding cows, and tending to fruit trees......

According to Li Junge, farm work trains people, Uncle Billy, you will be a group of child laborers, just work hard to squeeze it.

Uncle Billy's face turned white with fright, don't talk nonsense! This is a little guest who comes to experience life, and it is a serious crime to exploit child labor!

In such a place, Wang Meixian is like a fish in water, and she found a business opportunity in minutes.

Old Billy likes this group of babies who are not squeamish with their hands and feet, plus Ayin's Fusen ham bonus, and with a big wave of his hand, he agreed.

So Wang Meixian borrowed $500 from Li Junge, $200 was handed over to Billy as a rental fee for future venue equipment, and $300 was used to buy raw materials.

Then in addition to popcorn, salted peanuts, spiced beans, and multigrain lunch boxes were sold by the children of Lijiagou in the small market.

Old Billy is bubbling, this is bringing new business opportunities to our farm! In the past, those unqualified small potatoes and sweet potatoes that could only be fed to cattle were boiled and mixed with peanuts in a box, plus a steamed sausage or a slice of steamed bacon, some vegetables, squeezed with some salad dressing, and a toothpick can be exchanged for money.

This is much more cost-effective than selling barbecued sausages, and this little girl in Li Jiagou is simply a business genius!

Wang Meixian then found old Billy again, do you want to learn? Then send two people to give us a hand, we will personally guide us in the morning, and let them borrow our stall to practice in the afternoon, okay?

So the old Billy's $200 lease fee was taken back by Wang Meixian as a staff training fee and a secondary lease fee for the venue.

During the three-day experience activities, the babies sold food in the morning, went to the dock to watch the boat in the afternoon, went to the fish market to watch the auction of big fish, and went to Long Island to pick up shells and play in the sand.

Three days later, when the accounts were settled, a group of babies earned $2,000 less.

Li Junge was so angry that he couldn't do it, the idea of selling Sichuan snacks that I thought of outside the gate of Columbia University was used here for you first!

Wang Meixian and the babies giggled: "The money of the old beauties is so easy to make, have they never eaten anything good......? Uncle Erpi won't let us eat junk food, this time we have our own money, go back to New York and eat McDonald's......"

However, back in New York, the babies still did not eat McDonald's, because Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and Li Junge asked Shirly and Alice to take them to experience the Spring Festival abroad.

The place with the strongest Spring Festival flavor abroad is naturally Chinatown.

As soon as I arrived at Chinatown, Li Junge smiled, this is simply a traditional version of the old county town.

It's not too accurate to say that the old county town is not very accurate, at least many of the buildings are red with big green, a bit of the eye-catching dress of Lijiagou folk performance.

Most of the people on the road are yellow-skinned and black-eyed, Cantonese-speaking, Hokkien-speaking, Taiwanese-Putong, and mainland Mandarin......

A statue wearing the costume of a Manchu official stands at the intersection, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, with a heroic face.

The flavor of the year is stronger than that of the country, the dragon dance, the lion dance, dressed as the God of Wealth, the God of Fortune, the Yangge twister, a float for a while, with a certain chamber of commerce written on it, a pair of Yangge or lantern parades, or a certain chamber of commerce.

All kinds of colorful curtains, couplets, firecrackers, lanterns and other decorations were hung up by the merchants along the street, which was called a lively and extraordinary.

There are also a lot of foreigners, most of whom carry digital cameras and shoot around, as if they are foreign tourists.

Li Junge bought a hat for each of the babies to wear on their heads to suit the occasion, there are the God of Wealth, the God of Fortune, the Rabbit Lord, the Tiger, and it is also festive.

After a while, a big dragon came, and countless businessmen rushed out with colorful cannons in their hands, banging at the dragon lanterns, and colorful confetti flew all over the sky.

Shirly and Alice also asked for hats, and Li Junge had no choice but to buy one for each of the two sisters, a red pom-pom with a head, and two trembling official wings sticking out of the back.

There are also countless TV reporters covering the streets.

Li Junge's group of people had more than a dozen dolls, four beauties, and a young man, which was also very peculiar, and soon a reporter came over.

"Hello, are you Chinese?"

The two sisters and cubs jumped behind with a group of babies to grab the camera, and Li Junge replied in front: "Yes." ”

"And where are you from?"

"Oh, we are from Shuzhou, Lijiagou, and we are here to study with the babies. ”

"Ah Li Jiagou, I know, the Spring Festival atmosphere in your place is also very strong, what do you think of the comparison between here and you?"

"Well, the smell of the New Year is quite strong, and it feels like the atmosphere here is similar to that in my hometown, but we have splashed water since the sixth day of the new year, that is, we will take the molten iron to hit the sky, and I am afraid that we will not be allowed to ...... here."

"Uh, well, what do you want to say to the people of your hometown at this moment?"

"What are you talking about? Just rest assured, the babies are very well-behaved when they come out, and the elders in the village can rest assured. Oh, by the way, what do you want to say to them, boys?"

A group of babies and two sisters rushed over and shouted a bunch of salutations in a mess, and finally unified: "Happy New Year!"
