481. Chinatown
The plum wood house is at the end of this street, next to the Deslan River, a small two-story apartment with a yard, not as big as the house in Minhai.
After eating, Li Zimu drove straight to his house, Carl had already sent someone to clean up, and even the lawn in the yard had just been mowed.
"Boss, this is your house in the United States, it's not bad, it's similar to the movie......"
Zhuge Yinglong followed Li Zimu into the house, looked around and said, he still likes this decoration style, it is simple and looks clean.
"Hmm"
Li Zimu put his duffel bag in the corner next to him and nodded, this is his house in Chicago, there is no big garage and manor, just an ordinary house.
But this is Chicago, and in the United States, he has a lot of these houses, and Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, and New York, and rural areas......
There are just three bedrooms on the second floor, a few people allocated it, and they went back to the room to rest, after taking the plane for so long, this is just a rest point, tomorrow, they will take a plane to Puerto Rico.
Zhuge Yinglong and Chi Ling obviously didn't feel sleepy, watching TV in the living room on the first floor, Pudding wanted to sleep, and Li Zimu naturally slept with her for a while.
As for them wanting to go out to play, Li Zimu doesn't have any opinions, anyway, if they can find it back, it's okay if they can't find it......
Although the United States is chaotic, most of the cases occur at night, and they are not so above board in the daytime, and Zhuge Yinglong and Chi Ling's skills are still no problem in dealing with those big black men who look strong, which Li Zimu is not worried about at all.
When I woke up, it was already night, and when Li Zimu and Pudding went downstairs, Zhuge Yinglong and Chi Ling were chatting in the courtyard.
"Chinatown? not far, ten minutes away" Li Zimu thought for a while and said, New York's Chinatown is not very far from where he lives, Chi Ling wants to eat Chinese food, and wants to see where Chinese people live here.
A few people had no opinion, took the key and closed the door and set off, Li Zimu also wanted to go, so he didn't drive.
The United States at night is more prosperous than the United States during the day, with all kinds of glass windows, young men and women dressed in fashion, and people of all colors can be seen, and it is very lively.
"Without square dancing, I'm still a little unaccustomed to ......"
Looking at the street performers on the side of the road with interest, Zhuge Yinglong walked forward quickly and followed Li Zimu and said, This point is in Huaxia, and it is generally the world of grandfathers and grandmothers.
As soon as you put a stereo on the square, you start the essential activities of the day......
Clark Street is the heart of Chicago, a bit more bustling than other places, with the headquarters of major brands and Clark at night.
Chicago's Chinatown is located in Clark Street, a large mountain gate with a square plaque with the three big characters of Chinatown written on it, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, not only Chinese.
The architectural style of this street is very different from the architectural styles they have walked over before, and the Chinese people will have a strong sense of intimacy when they see it, because this is the architecture of Huaxia.
Chinatowns were formed because the Chinese emigrated overseas and became a local minority, and they lived together in the face of the new environment, so most of the Chinatowns are a kind of witness to the history of the Chinese diaspora.
The reason why it is called Chinatown is because the Tang Dynasty, compared with other dynasties, had a greater impact on overseas countries, so the Tang Dynasty became a foreign synonym for China.
The Chinese people have a deep historical complex. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful dynasty in Chinese history. Overseas Chinese often call themselves "Tang people", and the place where they live is called "Chinatown".
The buildings here, in Li Zimu's opinion, are very similar to places such as the modern Xianggang Magic City, with neon plaques, Chicago's Chinatown is one of the largest in the United States, and the largest is in San Francisco.
"It's more flavorful than our Chinese streets, and there are more people"
Chi Ling thought for a while and said, although this Chinatown is originally the appearance of a Chinese street, it is more Chinese than the local streets in China.
The reason is probably because the streets in China are no longer what they used to be, they are similar to those streets outside the United States, and Chinatown here is more like a Chinese street.
There are many shops that eat food, and in addition, there are also those that sell clothes and omnivorous, most of which are Chinese things.
"Bringing together food from all over China, this is, cool~"
Zhuge Yinglong looked at the plaques on the top of those stores and rubbed his hands and said, There are delicacies all over China, this point, it is when Chinatown is popular, and every store is almost full of people.
"Let's eat light here."
Li Zimu looked at the Su vegetable shop in front of him and said, this shop should have been newly opened for a few years, but it was not there when he came before.
"Good idea," the spirit said with a playful smile, grabbing the pudding and walking over, revealing his foodie nature.
There were so many people that there were basically no seats, and after the four people came in, they sat at the last empty table in the corner.
After a while, a waiter came to order with the menu, it was a Chinese girl, very young, but in her twenties, wearing the uniform of the store, looking a little haggard, probably because she didn't have much rest.
"I'm sorry! A dish is so expensive?! I'm afraid it's not a black shop, if this is placed in Huaxia, I guess I will be scolded miserably......"
Zhuge Yinglong looked at the price on the menu and said in surprise, a plate of lion heads, four balls cost more than 20 dollars, converted into a hundred, almost one hundred and fifteen.
One hundred and fifteen, you can order several dishes......
"It's good to get used to it, don't you see that most of the customers here are white?"
Li Zimu smiled and said, Chinese people, generally rarely come to Chinatown to eat, if you want to eat Chinese food, just fry it at home, why bother to eat in this store, this shop, facing Yankees, they don't understand the market, don't blame them.
Compared with the cookie-cutter taste of American cuisine, Chinese cuisine is naturally delicious and sought after by many Americans, just like Chinese people eat McDonald's KFC in China, and business is booming.
"If you want to work here, you can make a lot of money a month, right?"
Zhuge Yinglong said curiously, according to this consumption, even if it is a waiter who serves vegetables here, he can make a lot of money every month, he just saw a Yankee pay ten dollars to tip that little girl.
In the United States, tipping for meals is a norm, but it's not normal to not give it......
"A month's salary is converted into Huaxia currency, which is about twenty or thirty thousand......
Li Zimu thought for a moment and said, he still knows a lot about this aspect.
